June has come and gone. Half of 2016 is over already! Wow. It is insane how fast time is flying. However, I'm back to wrap up this month with my June Makeup Edit. This month, I've been keeping it very simple. Trying to stay away from foundations (except for special occasions) and focusing more on skincare. For my base, I'm sticking to my...

Maybelline is one of my favorite makeup brands. And I absolutely LOVE matte lips colors, which is why I had to give the Maybelline Velvet Matte Lip Colors a try. I chose the shade Mat 6 which is a deep berry shade. For the price of Rs. 475 for 5ml, these lipsticks come in your typical lip gloss packaging, with doe foot applicator....

I've been giving my favorite Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion a bit of a rest and experimenting with other cleansing milks, such as the Himalaya Refreshing Cleansing Milk. This cleansing milk contains Lemon, Grape seed and Mentha extracts, making it a "special blend of herbs that gently removes dirt, makeup and daily impurities while maintaining the skin's natural moisture balance." And I completely agree. This...

Sometimes when my skin is feeling a bit dull and tired, I like to do a thorough cleanse with a cream cleanser. I give myself a little face massage while I'm at it and remove the cleanser with a warm wet washcloth. It really makes a difference in my skin's appearance. Here are my favorite cream cleansers so far: 1) Cetaphil Cleansing Lotion:...

I'm a huge fan of Lotus Herbals Sunscreens. Their SPF 40 (matte look) and SPF 50 (gel) have been a part of my skincare routine for YEARS. I decided to explore the brand a little more and brought home their Lemonpure Cleansing Milk. According to Lotus "this unique cleansing milk is ideal for deep cleansing and removing make-up. The astringent property of lemon...

I had great results after using The Body Shop Rainforest Shine Shampoo. Next up on my list was their Banana Shampoo. Let me tell you, first up, I'm not a fan of the smell of this shampoo. It smells nothing like bananas. It smells more like bubblegum. And it is quite a strong smell. I was quite put off by the smell to...

I have been using the Philips Kerashine Air Styler for almost a year now. It's a surprise that I haven't reviewed it! This is a blow dryer/hairbrush hybrid that aims to give you a blow dry like finish with minimal effort. Heaven knows it is difficult to hold a brush in one hand and a blow dryer in the other. Your arms end...

Two of my favorite contouring brushes come from Real Techniques and I wanted to do a blog post comparing the two of them. The Real Techniques Flat Contour Brush is a part of their Bold Metals collection. With its rose gold handle and pristine white bristles, this brush is a beauty. Its more humble cousin is the Real Techniques Sculpting Brush; part of...

My skin was feeling quite dry recently, due to over exfoliation and I turned to this savior from L'Oréal. The Hydrafresh Mask In Lotion. This "lotion" has a very runny texture, almost like a serum. It contains French spa water, hyaluronic acid and antioxidants. This product comes in a screw top bottle. You need only a tiny amount per use. I pour out...

My skin was feeling a bit over exfoliated and irritated a few weeks ago. Along with scaling down my glycolic/salicylic acid use, I switched to more hydrating, soothing cleansers (such as my favorite, Cetaphil). During this time, I came across the Neutrogena Extra Gentle Cleanser. This no fuss, fragrance free, non comedogenic cleanser is right up my alley. It comes in a simple...
