Review: Loreal Go 360 Clean Anti-Breakout Facial Cleanser -- fights acne effectively!

Hi Girls,

Hope you all pretty ladies are doing fine!

I am so happy that the week is over and finally weekend is here. I am going to Mumbai tomorrow for work and planning to hoard stuff from Kryolan (why does Kryolan not have a store in Pune? :( ) I hope I get time for some shopping tomorrow :) Anyhow winter is one of those seasons where my skin starts behaving weird. I have combination skin with excessive oily T zone. In winters, my cheeks and skin around my mouth become excessively dry and i tend to breakout around the chin. Acne has never been a major concern for me but I do go through rough patches where my breakouts go bizarre and out of control. Today I am reviewing an amazing anti-acne product which actually helps control breakouts and cleanses away impurities. Loreal Go 360 Clean Anti-Breakout Facial Cleanser is a salicyclic acid acne treatment. Salicyclic acid is a common a common over-the-counter acne treatment. It is known to fight acne without over-drying the skin.

Review: Khadi Hand & Foot Cleanser Lemon Pedicure

Hello Lovely Ladies,

Hope you all are doing excellent!

Have you ever gone through a phase where you get so busy that you tend to neglect your hands and feet and you don't even have time to go to a salon for a pedicure or manicure? I go through this phase quite frequently because of a hectic schedule. I end up getting tanned feet and dry flaky skin on my feet due to negligence. At such times a wonder product comes to my rescue: Khadi Hand & Foot Cleanser Lemon Pedicure. I take few minutes off to pamper my feet (at times my hands) with this cleanser and I have soft, clean and presentable feet which makes me feel as if I just had a pedicure.

Simple Candy Nails Tutorial: Sponge Technique - Super easy, Super cute!

Hello Dearies,

Hope you all are doing awesome!

Today is the last day of my week long break from work and I really really don't feel like going back to office :( I spent an amazing one week with family and my cousins. This was the best Diwali of all :) Today on a lazy Sunday afternoon (with Monday blues already on my mind) I felt like perking up my nails a bit since they were neglected completely since more than a week. I tried a simple nail art with the use of sponge and it turned out super cute so thought of sharing with you all. I used the sponge technique to create this nail art which is quite popular in the 'Nail Art world'. I have named this as Candy Nails because my nails looked like small candy bars with the color combination i used :)

Review: Colorbar I-Glide Eye Pencil in Amethyst Spark - a beautiful color!

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Hope you all are doing great!

I am not a person who wears eye shadows everyday so i prefer colored eye liners which serve the purpose of infusing some color over my eye lids apart from being an eye liner.

I was happy that I did :) I love colored eye liners with not so obvious glitter, just a hint of shimmer to spark up the eyes and this liner is perfect for my liking.

Eyeliner trick tutorial: How to apply eye liner with the use of an eyelash curler! :)

Hi Girls,

Hope you all are doing fine!

When we started exploring the world of makeup, many of us would have gone through times where applying eye liner perfectly seemed to be a tedious task. I have read so many blogs with people querying how to apply eyeliner perfectly. I have come across girls who tend to create crooked lines because their hand shivers while they line their eyes. I went through that phase as well and that is the time when i came up with a trick. A trick which might help all you beginners out there who are struggling to get near perfect eyeliner application. Who comes to the rescue? An eyelash curler! yes you heard me right. An eyelash curler can help you get a perfect eyeliner :) This technique will also involve applying the liner with a brush/felt tip applicator but the basic aim of this trick is to give an outline for drawing a near perfect line. Without further ado, lets see how i use a eyelash curler to line my eyes.

DIY: Herbal face cleanup at home—get gorgeous, go natural!

Hello Gorgeous Ladies,

Hope you had a wonderful Diwali! I had a great time with my cousins and other relatives.

I love DIYs. It helps you to customize and choose the products according to your liking/skin type and also is pocket friendly :) Instead of going to a parlor and getting a herbal cleanup done by shelling out few hundred bucks, I prefer choosing herbal products and doing it myself. Trust me you will get better results if you do this on your own. I have combination skin with oily T zone and hence I prefer using herbal or natural products. The ingredients used in this DIY are easily available (you will find most of them in your kitchen) and it will leave you with fresh, supple and glowing skin. The star ingredient of this cleanup is Ubtan.  So let’s check out the ingredients and procedure.
