It is a must try product especially for people who love natural rosy lips. Product Claim: Lip lacquer which makes your lips a flower-like bloom with smooth and soft velvety touch.

The shade is actually a beautiful strawberry red with a hint of pink and purple tone making it an excellent everyday shade which would suit every skin tone. It gives you those natural rosy lips and instantly brightens up the face. Sometimes I use it with lip balm and sometimes without it and

This is one of the best sleeping masks I've tried so far. Improves skin texture, brightens, hydrates and heals the skin while giving a glow from within.  Product claims: Boosting radiance and glow-  The freshly Juiced Vitamin E Mask hydrates the skin and enhances the effects of vitamin C products. It's formulated with Niacinamide and Adenosine, which give various skin improving effects and can also be used a gel type moisturizing cream .  Vitamin E  has skin softening, anti-ageing properties, soothes inflammation, and even shields skin against sun damage. Niacinamide is great for those with oily, acne-prone skin as it works to suppress sebum secretion for a more balanced complexion. Adenosine is found in every single one of our cells, to strengthen our skin by promoting collagen synthesis and has powerful anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective in wound healing and regeneration, and improving acne caused by oily skin. Directions : After cleansing, appl

Hola beauties! After falling in love with The Ordinary's AHA BHA peeling Solution (Check the review HERE ), I was eager to try more products from the brand.

Hello everyone! In case you have not heard about this company, well, you are missing something very important in your life!!!

Hey guys, I am so happy today to introduce this product that I recently betted on-I mean bought with a little skepticism. The product was often talked about on Instagram and I am, like always, a curious bird. So, although there were plenty of bad reviews on Ulta (some of them claiming that it gave them rashes), I took my chances and bought this toy. Spoiler : I love flawless. Read on to know why.               Price : 2500 INR (I bought it from an insta reseller. If you buy it directly from US, it will be cheaper for you) Purpose : used for removing facial hair, especially upper lips. The company also has similar tools for removing hair from eyebrows and legs. But my main concern was upper lips. I wanted to be able to do my upper lips conveniently, whenever and wherever I wanted. So, I was compelled to buy this little tool. Description: The flawless comes with detailed instructions on how to insert cell, in which direction you should use, how to clean it,

It has fine gold particles that add very subtle radiance to skin. Although I have combination skin that turns a little oily in summer, this serum never feels sticky nor does it make me sweat more. Sometimes I use it as a base to my BB cream becau

I respect all the lotus herbal products. I think they always work and give average to above average results which, in plain words, means that they do work.

Hola everybody, It took me so much time to understand this serum and finally, I'm ready to review it.

MRP:  1950 INR Qty:  80 ML Shelf life : 3 years Shelf life after opening the product:  12 Months (I think all makeup and skin care products come with these 2 shelf lives; second one is mentioned on the product itself. Check for an image on the bottom that shows a circular container with lid open, there the number of months is given, for example, 12M which means 12 months' life after opening the product) Color and texture:  Almost transparent, lotion like Consistency:  thin and runny Packaging:  Comes with a pump dispenser and the pump is very effective in withdrawing the right amount.

Skin type: Combination, acne prone Color: Wheatish fair So, I have recently been expanding my horizons in terms of makeup, and you know, in the makeup world, Setting sprays are a must! They bind your makeup, make it sweat proof and keep it fresh for 7-8 hours and do even more. But, a wrong spray, and all your makeup efforts can be ruined. This is what E.L.F mist does to me. MRP: $4  Qty:  60 ml (2.02 oz) Shelf life: 6 months  Color : Transparent Fragrance : I don't know how to describe it, but it is strong and bad. (Absolutely dislike it) Product description and Ingredients Click on the image for zooming in. My Experience: Maybe I'm not using the right technique to apply it, but then don't all sprays work the same way- hold them at an arm's length, and spritz on your face? First, the smell of this mist literally makes me want to skip using it. I can really do without it than bearing with the obnoxious smell. Still, I tried it few times. E

Bonjour! I'm reviewing my current favorite and I think future forever favorite SPF today. It's Neutrogena! Why did not I try it before? Let's get started. Product description: Neutogena ultra sheer dry touch Sunblock SPF 50+ PA+++ is a breakthrough in sun protection. Stabilized with Helioplex, it provides superior balanced broad spectrum protection against aging UVA and burning UVB rays. Dry touch Technology gives an ultra-light and non-shiny finish. The light-weight sunscreen has a light fresh scent and is gentle enough even for sensitive skin. Water resistant, sweat resistant, resists rub off.  Non-Comedogenic (won't clog pores) Oil free and PABA free MRP: 549 INR (got it @ 480 on discount) Shelf life: 3 years Qty: 88 ml Finish : It says matte but actually it is demi matte. I have combination skin and although it doesn't make my skin oily or anything, it adds a sheen to my face.  Texture and consistency : It's like thick creamy lot

I have still not found my go to eye liner. If you guys have suggestions, do let me know. Here is review on Loreal Magique liner: Price : 399 INR Shelf life: 2 years. Claims : Smudge proof. Waterproof. Caution : Not for waterline Finish: Demi Matte. (Not exactly matte, slightly dewy) Texture: A little runny Color:  Dark black. Review: I bought this because of the felt tip. I have always found it easy to work with a felt tip than with a brush. But I was wrong. Even felt tip is not enough. The liquid of this liner was runny enough to seep into my lashes, which I really didn't like. The quantity control was a bit of work. Even then, it didn't last for longer than 3-4 hours. If I rubbed my eyes accidentally, it came off easily. I didn't even find it much waterproof. Overall, very disappointed. Final Verdict: It was a waste of money and I am never gonna buy it again.

Welcome to my blog guys:) So if you have been following me on Instagram (nneha89) , you probably know how much I love this concealer. But just in case, let me tell you my opinion on this as objectively as possible. So Ruby's is an Indian organic makeup brand that is slowly expanding. I was very curious to try their products and bought this  concealer  (after shade consultation with the Ruby's team),  Tan Blush , and  Nuddy Lipstick  crayon. When I told them that I am a blogger, they were very kind to give their Orange lip balm as freebie.  So let's get started. Price:  1100 INR (Oh my!) Shelf life : 18 months (for an organic product, this shelf life is very good) Qty: 7 gms Claims : 100% natural, organic, cruelty free, parabens free. Texture : Creamy Smell: um...hard to describe. Something like a mix of clay and oil? But then it has kaolin clay and jojoba oil. Personally, I didn't like the smell.  Note : In summer, I no

Hey guys, I'm not sure when my obsession with korean dramas started. May be when I got really tired of long running Indian serials with the repetitive plots? When the stories stopped making sense:) SO today I am compiling a list of the dramas that I have watched in the past 3 years and don't mind watching time and again. If you haven't started yet, I am very sure, you will get addicted once you start! I will split the list in 2 parts. You will find the link of the second list in the end of this post. Note: (I'm not writing them in any sequence. They are all my favorites and can't really number them) 1. LOVE O2O  Review : Purely entertaining, super smooth love story packed with comedy. No break ups, No push and pull and No melodrama. Most favorite until now. This is the first Chinese drama that I am head over heels in love with. A must watch. All the 30 episodes make the time still and you are so engrossed in the story that you would want this to
