Hey guys,  Today I am going to share my review on yet another Indian Brand " Blend It Raw Apothecary" founded by Aarushi . The brand started with  organic essential oils and cold-pressed unrefined carrier oils, but later expanded its range to include unrefined clays, pure floral waters (hydrosols), waxes, & fruit, and plant butters which are all ethically sourced from small farmers, NGOs, certified organic manufacturers and suppliers.  (You will be making a social contribution while buying your skin care products!) I love this brand for some DIY recipes which I can create for my skin care and also, for its amazing mists/toners/hydrosols. Let's talk about Hydrosols :  Hydrosols are distilled water used for aroma-therapeutic purposes. These hydrosols act like toners but are more effective than our usual toners. I mean a Rose Hydrosol is more effective than a rose toner.:) I love the overall concept of these Hydrosols. MRP: 400 INR each Shelf l

Also, I will give my recommendations in each post about which product worked for me and which not. Let's begin: GLAMAROMA I came across this brand on Instagram and decided to try a few products. I ordered their perfumes (MUST BUY), Vitamin C Cleanser, Rose Gold Toner/Mist, Coffee Infused Under Eye Serum, Sugar Kiss Lip Serum, Pumpkin Skin Renewal Serum, Bridal Glow Serum, and Glowing Goddess Serum. So, here is my honest review: About the brand: The brand started on Instagram and successfully launched its products on its website and Amazon this year. 100 % Natural, Chemical Free, Paraben Free, Handmade, Cruelty Free, Vegan Products.

I bought the Innisfree one because the

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. So, I bought two serums: Niacinamide and buffet. Spoiler : The Ordinary products never disappoint and I have absolutely fallen in love with it. Product Description/Claims:  Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is indicated to reduce the appearance of skin blemishes and congestion. Minimizes pores, and regulates sebum. (Oil free, gluten free, vegan, silicone free, alcohol free) Note : While using topical Vitamin C, it should be applied at alternate times with this formula (ideally Vitamin C in the PM and this formula in the AM). Otherwise, Niacinamide can affect integrity of the Vitamin C.

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,
