Every holiday season Real Techniques release a new brush set. This year they offered us the Deluxe Gift Set. When I saw it on sale at Flipkart, I snapped it up immediately. With five brushes, out of which two are set exclusives, you get a white envelope clutch as well. The clutch is decent, but honestly, I would have preferred a makeup bag...

Another month has flown by and I present to you my March Makeup Edit. These are the products I've been reaching for throughout the month, which help me look fresh and presentable. Base: March was pretty much the month of light makeup base for me. Light, but it needed to stay put. I mixed a bit of Revlon Photoready Skinlights into my Bourjois...

I am a fan of highlighters, and Benefit highlighters are considered to be some of the best in the market. I wanted to try the Sun Beam and Watts Up! But when I spotted High Beam (as a part of the Sugarlicious kit) I bought it immediately. High Beam is a pearly liquid highlighter, which is to be applied to the high points...

Everyone is a fan of rosy, just bitten lips. So am I! Which makes the Benefit Benetint the perfect product for the job. The deep pink, watery lip stain leaves the perfect amount of pigment on your lips. You can layer it up for greater impact. I'm in love with this product for its ease of application. The color is a universal shade...

Sunscreen is the best anti aging product. The best way to prevent tanning, burning and sun damage is to slather yourself in sunscreen, come rain or shine. These are my all time favorites: Lotus Herbals 3-in-1 Matte Look Sunblock (SPF 40): This tinted sunscreen is a cult product in India. It applies easily over moisturized skin and dries to a matte finish, giving...

One of the best mascaras all around is the Benefit They're Real Mascara. I own a mini version of it. It has a plastic brush that really gets into the roots of the lashes and dispenses product throughout the length. This mascara is waterproof and simultaneously lengthens and adds volume to my lashes. There is no smudging or smearing throughout the day and...

Sugar Cosmetics is a relatively new player on the Indian market and their cutesy packaging and catchy product names intrigued me. Also, I know you're tired of reading Maroon 5's Sugar references with respect to this brand, but I felt like I 'need a little sweetness in my life!' (There. I put it). I bought their It's A Pout Time Lipstick in Breaking...

Earlier I used to use my fingers to apply foundation and concealer. I simply did not see the point of buying multiple brushes to apply makeup. But once I did get my hands on my first brush (Real Techniques Expert Face Brush) there was no looking back. Today I'm going to talk about my favorite foundation brushes and why I love them! 1)...

Over the years, after numerous trials and errors, I've found a select few skincare products that work well on my skin. These are the products that I keep repurchasing and will continue to do so for as long as they are made! 1) Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion: This simple, fuss free cleanser is perfect for my acne treatment sensitized skin. It has never irritated...

Dirty makeup brushes are a breeding ground for bacteria. The bristles of your makeup brushes (after use) contain not only leftover makeup, but oils from your skin.  If brushes aren't cleansed regularly and thoroughly, they can harbor bacteria which can lead to infections and breakouts on your skin. Yikes! Regular cleaning of brushes is a must. I clean my powder/blush/bronzer brushes every 2-3...

I wanted to try some BBlunt hair products desperately, after hearing such glowing reviews about them. I chose their Climate Control Leave In Cream (Rs. 175), Spotlight Hair Polish (Rs. 250) and their Back To Life Dry Shampoo (Rs. 250). Stay tuned for their reviews, peeps! ...

If I'm in a hurry and I need to look 'fresh' and presentable, I turn to my five product face. This is what I use: 1) Apply Lakme CC Cream (or any tinted moisturizer I have on hand) all over my face. 2) Dot Revlon Colortstay Concealer under my eyes and on blemishes and use fingers (or my Real Techniques Sponge) to blend....

It all started when I was searching the internet for inexpensive makeup primer recommendations. The Nivea Men After Shave Balm (sold abroad as Nivea Men Post Shave Balm) had glowing reviews for its alternative role as a primer. I had seen this product pop up on my Instagram feed as well! I decided to give it a go. On a trip to the...

On the days when I want to get a full, even coverage (and I have the time to play around with brushes), I use this two brush foundation application method. First I apply a thin layer of foundation all over my face using a flat foundation brush (Real Techniques Foundation Brush). I then buff the foundation into my skin using a dense brush...
