Last week, we had shared our Red Carpet Look with the L'Oreal L'Or Luminare Cannes Collection. As promised, here is the review of the lipstick Moist Mat in Orange Power. 
If you have been reading our blog regularly, you would probably know that I am more into everyday nude MLBB shades. Smriti still has a liking for some bright fuschias, but I generally stick to subtle pinks, corals.. subtle. So when we got this super bright orange.. my brain was actually spinning. Bright? Maybe I could deal with that.. but Bright Orange?! I had never tried such a colour before.
My eyes were huge and I went like "WHAAATTT!". Why am I telling you this? Simply because, lesson learnt : never go by first impressions :D

I love taking looooooong showers. And when that's done, I loooooooove slathering on body lotions or butters on my slightly damp skin to ensure it stays hydrated. But to tell you the truth, I end up lotioning only my limbs properly and I often feel sorry for my torso and back. It feels neglected and dry, but there's not much I can do about it. I mean you can't just drop your towel and start demonstrating gymnastic moves in order to moisturise your back and leave your two room-mates horrified and scandalized, can you? :P

Now the Good Goddess of Beauty must have surely decided to solve my dilemma, and that's how I stumbled across this amazing product while browsing online! Thank you, I love you!

Let's meet this new star, shall we...?
It's the all-new skin conditioner by Nivea, (OMG it's Nivea, I love Nivea!) claiming to give you silky, soft skin feeling.

Hello everyone! How was your Monday? The weather here has become so nice suddenly, clouds and rains and everything.. you would never think it was summer :D 
So while enjoying the superb weather from my swing let me tell you about the new L'Oreal Super Liner Gel Matic. These were launched in their L'Or Luminere Cannes Collection and I am pretty sure you must have been seeing them in ads a lot.. especially being mentioned in the makeup breakdown of the actresses in Cannes. I got Silver Mania, so let's see how this turned out, yes?

A week back I had Instagrammed a pic of the products sent to us from the L'Oreal L'Or Luminere Collection.. This year L'Oreal invited us to "not just create a red carpet makeup look but an entire outift that you would wear to a premiere at an actual red carpet event"! (We loved the personalized invite and the video!)

Of course we were beyond excited! But when you get a combination of silver and orange (2 colours that do not go too well) it takes a while to come up with something that looks good.
I was looking for a good occasion and then mom and dad's anniversary came by yesterday. Perfect occasion with the dinner celebration..so we jumped in to create a look! And this is how we paired Orange and Silver :

(This is our first OOTD so please be kind *pretty smiles*)

I have been testing and trying out quite a lot of new products over the past one month and it is time to put up the reviews soon. Some worked great, and some not that great.
One of the things I was trying out was the Neutrogena Deep Clean Foaming Cleanser. So without any further blah-blah...let me just jump straight into the review!

I don't think I need to explain this one. These are from Mannings (you can find them in any Health and Glow and they are usually on some offer). I do want to try the TBS ones too. Lots of people love it.

I know that we are probably a bit late in putting this up, but better late than never, right? On some random shopping last week I finally spotted the Colossal Kohl in Turquoise at a local beauty store and since it was being raved everywhere I had to try it out myself... Ok, Ok, I got tempted by the turquoise colour too..it is summer afterall!

There is something with me and shampoos, I am always tempted to try a new one even, everytime I finish using the current bottle being used, even if the older one leaves my hair quite good. I do repurchase a few times, if I find something that works fabulously with my hair. In short, I have tried a lot of shampoos so far.
Anyone else who does this too?
So yes, when I recieved samples of the new Tresemme Split Remedy, I couldn't wait to try it!

I have a confession to make...

I perspire. Profusely. All the time. While sitting in front of the A.C. set at 16°C. Now ladies, that's frankly embarrassing, and I've found very few items that help me feel and smell fresh throughout the day. So I'd like to share one of the most trusted deodorizing items in my arsenal with all of you!

Let me start this post with a small confession: Wearing sunscreen was not a part of my everyday routine until a year back. Yes, you heard me right.. I used to run miles away from the very mention of them. Of course, I knew the importance of wearing one and you can still find evidence of years of sun damage on my skin, but in my defence (actually to make you not think of me as a complete weirdo) my reasons for not using sun protection were simple -
Firstly, our country (at least my city) is very hot and humid... Secondly, I have oily skin (fellow oily skinned girls will understand) and...Lastly, all the sunscreens I tried were either too greasy or left a horrific white cast or gave such an uncomfortable feeling. What is one supposed to do?!

After the stunning L’Or Sunset collection, L’Oreal Paris is set to dazzle the French Riviera with its new make-up line - L’Or Lumière. To celebrate the 17th year as the official make-up partner for the Cannes Film Festival, L'Oréal Paris will introduce their latest collection that is inspired by the purest of the elements, ‘Gold’ and the coming of the spring season.

The L’Or Lumiere Collection highlights the exuberance of Neo Gold as a beauty trend on Indian and global fashion runways. Since shades of gold beautifully embrace all Indian skin tones, the L’Or Lumiere Collection presents products gorgeous bright hues that stylishly accentuate the brilliance of gold. The products are a fine representation of glamour, elegance and will certainly heighten the allure of any red carpet look.

Now that you all know how much I love orange marmalade, it shouldn't be much of a surprise when I say that the TBS Satsuma Body Polish is...."ooooh...so yum! yum!" (and see, it makes me say stuff like a 6 year old!). I love my friend so so much for gifting me this one! :)
