Say hello to my first blue nail paint! It's called You're Such A BudaPest & it's from OPI. 

Let's first take a moment to appreciate the cute names OPI comes up with and then let's do a minute of silence for me - I got a blue polish! Me...the lover of nudes, neutrals and an occasional red, who has never dabbled into the blue zone before! Who am I even? And what has happened to me?

Maybe my tastes are changing, or I am willing to get out of my comfort zone.....maybe it is a phase....maybe I never got the perfect shade of blue before....who knows? What I do know is that You're Such a Budapest caught my attention and I loved the way it looked. So now it's a part of my polish stash. 

Sharing the swatches & a mini review with you today. Take a look :)

I'm back again with a Brand In Focus post and we're talking about GlamGlow today.

Since I have ordered their Supermud multiple times and minis of their other masks over the years...I have accumulated quite a few samples of other products in their line and I wanted to compile my thoughts on all of them in one place. So, if you have been wanting to check out GlamGlow products, I hope this post helps you decide which ones to try and which ones to avoid. Happy Reading!

I have always had long hair and while it is relatively straight & low on frizz, there are many days when the frizz increases and because of the length it gets tangles easily which causes hair breakage and hair fall. At 30 something, when things are going to go downhill skin & hair-wise, I of course get tempted to do whatever I can (within reasonable & my comfort range) to keep things in a relatively good state. So, one fine day last year as a birthday treat I ordered a silk pillowcase. It wasn't an impulse purchase, I considered getting it for almost a year before I took the plunge.

I have taken my own sweet time to test it out thoroughly over different seasons and I am finally ready to share my experience with you. Let's begin!

Is haircare a priority on your agenda? I have to confess that my routine isn't elaborate. Shampoo & condition is what I usually do and some days I use a hair serum. If I have some time or want to pamper my hair occasionally, I use a hair mask sometimes. I do however *love* oiling my hair. 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘪 is a quintessential part of ancient Indian self-care & most who have grown up practising this ritual will vouch for its benefits! 

Maa's Secret kindly sent me two hair oils to try a few weeks ago & I'm sharing them with you today :

I go through phases of loving nail paints and periods when I just cannot be bothered to paint my nails. Please tell me that some of you also go through this and I am not alone? Anyway, one summery evening, when I was sorting out my polish stash, I realized that I wanted to add some pop of colours to it. Now, I have never been the one to sport bright green, yellow or blue nails. My current stash is dominated by a lot of neutrals and a few reds - my comfort zone colours. How could I add some colours without feeling too out of place? 

A bit of online scrolling brought me to the Faces Splash Nail Enamels. They have a huge shade selection and these weren't very expensive (they are usually on discount) - perfect for some experimentation, I thought! 

I ended up picking 4 colours - which in my humble opinion are a great balance of colourful pop but also not too bright!  Take a look at the swatches :)
