If you had told me a few years ago that I would happily be rubbing snail slime on my face, I would have probably crinkled up my nose in disgust: but what can I say? 2020 was definitely a year of surprises! 

A dedicated post about one of my favourites- the I'm From Mugwort Essence is already up on the blog, and today I wanted to share with you the product that started my essence obsession - the Cosrx Snail Mucin Power Essence.

While I do not experiment with my skincare products a lot, I do love trying out new things in haircare and switch between shampoos & conditioners often. 

When Aveda launched in India a while back, the first thing I picked up from their range was the Cherry Almond Softening Shampoo & Conditioner. I usually love the smell of almonds for bodycare (L'occitane Almond Range I am looking at you!) & extending that to haircare seemed like a no brainer. I have repurchased this duo 3 times over the past 2 years and I think it's about time to pen down my thoughts.

Fun fact : They had a previous version of this called Cherry Almond Bark which was released in 1978! It was discontinued in 2008 but has been re-released as the Cherry Almond range now :)

Hello everyone! We have reviewed quite a few Dot & Key products on the blog before, I hope you have read those posts. If you haven't then you can read them here :

Review of their Vit C Serum & Clarifying Serum HERE
Review of their Hyaluronic Acid Serum, Sleeping Mask, Eye Cream & Eye Mask HERE
Review of their Underarm Serum & Underarm Mask HERE

I'm adding another product to the list today - their Foot Cream : Deodorizer + Moisturiser.
While I don't experiment with face products a lot, I do like trying out different body care products. I picked this foot cream up in the summer because the sound of peppermint & deodorising sounded promising. Read on to know my thoughts!

I have been using the Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant for over 10 months (since beginning of March 2020) & I have spoken a lot about it on Instagram already. Make sure to follow me there for more skincare talk & updates :)

No other chemical exfoliant works as well for me as BHA does. My combination skin which is prone to congestion, comedones & odd breakouts every now and then loves SALICYLIC ACID! And so after a brief & regrettable stint with another BHA serum, I finally got hold if Paulas Choice. Heads up - it was one of the best skincare decisions I have made. Read on!

I have been using The Earth Rhythm Coconut Oil Shampoo Bar for over a month now & here are my quick thoughts on it. ⠀

There's a video on my post HERE which you can check out to see how my hair looks like after using the bar (I had oiled my hair prior to shampooing and haven't used any conditioner). ⠀

I had already shared my quick thoughts about the Suganda White Lotus Moisturiser on our Instagram page a while back, but I wanted to document my experience on the blog too for my reference and for any one else who like me still likes to read blogs. 

I have combination skin & during the hot humid Indian summer I prefer using products that are not too heavy. Last summer I was in search of a few light products & picked up the Suganda White Lotus Moisturiser after seeing a lot of good reviews.
