I'm going through an intense skin care phase presently. Now that it is behaving well, I've turned my focus on keeping it that way and getting that coveted healthy glow.
A while back I had reviewed the Laser Perfect serum here, but that didn't steal my heart. The Luminize serum, however, is a miracle worker. I can't say how happy I am!

Summers are here...and it is getting hotter by the day. A change in the weather demanded a change in my handbag stuff as well...so out went the stoles and socks and warm fuzzy things. Here's what are have been my handbag staples off late...Read on! :)

Ladies, it's time for warm weather, breezy dresses, and above all.. open-toed footwear! So let's make sure to flaunt them in style yes? ^_^
Constant walking, harsh sun, dry weather; all can make your feet look parched and feel tired. But there is a way to perk them up, and now you can do it yourself! Super convenient, super affordable.

Sunmer and pastels go hand in hand...So today we have another pretty pastel called Constant Candy, which I bought because the name is sooo cute! And also the shade, but OMG such a cute name ^_^  It puts me in a mood of cotton candy, and candy land, with a Candy princess with cotton candy hair...

I should stop before someone pukes with all the sugar rush o_o

I love polishes, and I love nail art. Add cute top coats and I get super happy. So, naturally I was very excited when I spotted the new L'Oreal Top Coats on their counter lasty month. Out of the variants, I loved Confettis the most (how long have I waited for something like this to come to India!). 
It has taken me a while to share the swatches (facing some health issues lately) but here it is finally. Take a look :)

We love the Color Sow polishes quite a bit. After, so many colors reviewed here, it comes as no surprise. Here's another shade, Blackcurrant Pop today :)

The Maybelline Colossal family is growing bigger day by day...And we at C&D are loving it! First the Colossal Liner and now the Kohl is some amazing colors. Let's look at Smoked Silver today :)

Normally I haven't done many shampoo reviews here. It is so because, most of them just work okay. They do what they have to do and that is it. 
But every once in a while, there comes a shampoo that exceeds your expectations and which is when I need to let you all know about it. 

I had heard many good things about The Body Shop Banana hair range and finally I gave in and tried the shampoo and conditioner.

I was using the Hypersharp liner for a long time now and I liked it quite a lot. It made liner application so easy. So when Maybelline came out with this Colossal Liner and I couldn't wait to try it out! A few weeks back I got it in the mail and after testing it out here's what I think :

A couple of weeks back, I was invited by P&G to try out their new NIOXIN Derma hair renew Therapy at the Bodycraft Spa and Salon. Now, I had never heard about Nioxin before and after doing some research, I was quite excited to try the therapy. A facial for your scalp?? Yes please! 
Since I have been facing severe hairfall issues for the past few months, this therapy came as a saviour just when I needed it!

Sometimes the things you have used for so long, you just don’t think to blog about. Like this hand cream here. This is my 2nd tube (Update 2021 : Have lost count of the number of tubes I have gone through. I continue to repurchase it and will continue to use it forever) and it has become such a staple that I have never, ever thought to blog about it. Until now.

I was not an eye cream person at all. I had a few bad experiences with some I tried on a whim and then I last year I turned 25 and I thought well, it might not hurt to try out a mild one...so I started using an aloe gel based one. It worked out well for me, gave that extra hydration and kept things in a good condition. 
Then came all those late nights (all thanks to PG life....). Dark circles & puffiness started to make their way in my life. I have been using The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso 2 in 1 Brightening Eye Cream since last month and it has been a saviour!

You may have noticed that we haven't covered a lot of hair products in our posts, but that's because when it comes to hair, we believe simple natural treatments work best. I firmly recommend all hot oil massages and packs that you can whip up in your kitchen!

That being said, sometimes your hair needs a little extra help to keep it at its best. Enter serums!

A while back we got to try two wonderful soaps and we would love to introduce you all to a new brand -Lilac Soaps. It is a company based in Pune. The soaps made by Lilac Soaps are 100% handmade, biodegradable, palm oil free, vegan and not tested on animals. 
One of the best things about these soaps is that they are very much within budget :) So without any more chatter, let us tell you about them!

Perfumes are something I got into quite late. I reason that it's okay, because as a teenager, deodorants were more than enough to smell nice. That's still enough, but a tween must have a few spray-ons to feel slightly lady like, don't you agree?

So that's why I *stole* this from my Mom's stash. Hush, hush! ;)

It has been a while we shared a Lakme polish, and today we have a great shade from their Color Crush collection. No 25! 
It is a shade I really enjoyed wearing this winter. Now that the cold days are almost gone (it is 36 degrees in Bangalore already!!) I better share this one with you all before we head over to the summery colors :)

Last summer I was on the lookout for an aquatic fragrance and happened to look through an Avon brochure. Like with all Avon and Oriflame perfumes, I bought this blindly...it sounded nice.
