Dare to Bare || Announcing My First Ever Association with Revlon

Dare to be Bare with Revlon| cherryontopblog.com

Hello all, hope you are doing well. If you guys are following my Facebook page then you will know that I have been wanting to share something exciting with you all for a couple of days. In this post, I am going to unravel that surprise. 
I am extremely excited to announce my first ever brand association that is with Revlon, an internationally acclaimed cosmetics company. Recently I got contacted by their team to associate with them for a campaign that I am going to talk about in this post. I finally agreed to partner with them in order to present you guys with something really exciting. There are basically two key factors that drove me to this association. Firstly, working with Revlon is an achievement itself and secondly, the campaign is super-creative and challenging and it is related to makeup (you know makeup drives me crazy, don’t you?).


Revlon already has had a famous campaign named ‘Love Is On‘ which was dedicated to celebrating Love and connecting with people. With its bold, youth-centric idea, it made sure that the customers connect to the brand easily. 

Now, coming back to the campaign. You all might know that Revlon was the Makeup Expert for the 61st Filmfare Awards, 2016. They showed some makeup expertise in the Pre-Awards Night as  well as the Awards Function with focusing on two basic things- Eye makeup and Lip makeup. My job is to re-create a Face makeup look which was created by the team but not showcased in any of those above mentioned functions. The look is called ‘Dare to Bare‘. ‘Dare to Bare’, as the name suggests, is basically a neutral look that focuses only on the base makeup, i.e. foundation, concealer etc. I have to re-create this look right here-

The 61st Filmfare Pre-Awards Night was a huge success with all the celebrities attending it. Manish Malhotra, the famous fashion designer, set the ramp on fire with his gorgeous collection. 
It is a challenge to re-create something and I am really excited to see how it turns out to be. In my next post, I will come up with my take on the ‘Dare to Bare‘ look. I hope it would be exciting for you guys too to see how I re-created this look. Don’t forget to check out my next post. I will be announcing the next post on my social media platforms so make sure you follow me there. All the links are on the right sidebar. Till then, be safe & keep smiling!

5 reasons to shop online

5 Reasons to Shop Online

5 Reasons to Shop Online| cherryontopblog.com
Guys, the shopping season is here! Valentine’s Day is almost here and a lot of us are still planning to shop for their loved ones. Today, I thought of talking about a few things that might be apt for this shopping season. I know there are a lot of people who still prefer to shop at the stores but I personally do not like the idea. Though for some particular things I need to visit the stores but 99% of the time I go for online shopping. It’s just my thing. I am going to share why I prefer online shopping over mall hopping.

1. No Queues, No Crowd.
The thing freaks me out the most when I go for shopping is the crowd. You can’t properly see an item and you have to make quick decisions or the item you eyed for will be gone, forever. I don’t like to be forced to choose things for purchase, to be pushed by the crowd in a store. That’s why I always prefer online shopping which allows you to shop from wherever you are, may be from your bedroom, wearing your PJs, listening to your favourite track. Ah, that’s my idea of shopping!

2. No Need to Roam around the Mall for One Piece of Garment.

Have you experienced something like this? Were you ever in search for something but couldn’t find it in the store you thought you might find it in? Well, that happened to me many times. I now don’t like searching for something in a mall rather, I search for it online. It gives me more chances to filter and find the one I want, if not the exact then the one very close to that.

3. Doorstep Delivery.

When you are shopping online, you don’t have to think about carrying the truckload of things you purchased. You just have to relax and wait for the doorbell to ring. Every time you receive a package, it’s like birthday presents from you to yourself. You are nothing less than a prince/princess!
5 Reasons to Shop Online| cherryontopblog.com

4. Discounts!!

The best thing about online shopping is the huge discounts that most of the e-commerce sites offer you throughout the year. A beauty/fashion blogger like me could not get anything better than this! Every week the e-shopping portals add some new collections from different brands. I am a student and I admit I don’t get enough pocket money to renew my wardrobe every season unless I get attractive deals. Some e-commerce sites also offer coupons or cashback offers which are great. Shop with IndusInd Bank credit card. I have to say this is the number one reason why I love shopping online.

5. Gift Anyone Across the Country without paying extra for Postal Services

This option has saved my life! You know how difficult is to gift someone residing far away from your place. I have most of my family members residing in different cities. Online shopping has become my rescuer now as I can send gifts to my friends and family without paying for postal services or courier services. I can order gifts with my own money to anywhere I like. Life couldn’t have been any simpler.
5 Reasons to Shop Online| cherryontopblog.com
So guys, here are the five reasons why I think online shopping is the best. What are your thoughts? Do you think I missed any point? Let me know in the comments! I’ll be back with another post very soon. Till then, be safe & keep smiling!

5 Ways to Look Hot on Valentine’s Day || Ft. Jabong (Guest Post)

V-day! Let’s not make it a D-day! I know it’s the time to celebrate love, but it would be incomplete if not for good fashionable clothes and accessories! Now, as the special day of the year is just around the corner many of you must have started preparing for it in advance. For all those who are a bit confused about their looks, let’s play your guardian angel. We understand that you want to look hot so that your lover doesn’t look here and there. Ahem! That’s quite a task, ladies. First, believe in yourself, and be willing to experiment. Don’t be that same plain Jane. 

So, how can you look hot on Valentine’s Day? Here are a few dresses you can try.

Lace dress in bright shade

You can feel the love in the air, right! And, what’s the color of love? Did you just say red! Then go for it! Ladies, red is the perfect shade to wear on V-day. Pick a lace dress in red, and be that style diva your beau always wanted to see in you. Pair it up with nice heels in black and go for designer earrings to accentuate the oomph factor.

Sweater dress to beat the chill

The winters are not yet over, and if you are stepping out for a luncheon then a sweater dress is just perfect. We saw this dress from the label Next on Jabong.com. Isn’t it flirty as well as classy! Complete the look with blue-shade aviators or a pair of square sunglasses, and wear white sneakers. The style is quite upbeat and will make you look young.

White dress for a hot look!

If you are going to spend your entire day with your man then sport a flowy white maxi in lace or chiffon. First, it is comfortable. Second it gives you an elegant look. You can put bright makeup to complement it. Team it up with a shrug or a denim jacket for a windy evening, and wear boots to add a bit of edge to your look. You can wear fashion jewellery in beads and layers too. 

LBD to shimmer

One can seldom go wrong with an LBD. If your dinner date is and you are clubbing, then a skimpiest of short black dress can work wonders. I would say, choose a shimmery black party dress and sparkle throughout the evening. Your beau will find it hard to take his hands off you. Pair the look with stone-studded earrings, and a pair of high heels.



Ooze oomph in racy side-slit dress

Why not flaunt your legs and make others envy. It’s Valentine’s Day and you can be risqué. You can work your mojo in a body-hugging attire with a side slit, and be a head-turner. Wear long danglers, a rose-gold designer watch, and a pair of strappy sandals. Seeing you in this attire your guy can’t help, but thank his lucky stars. 


So guys, which look would you choose for V’Day?

my winter skincare routine

My Morning Skincare Routine for Winters

Morning Skincare Routine for Winters| cherryontopblog.com

Hi guys, today I am very excited to share my winter time everyday skincare routine with you guys. Ever since I started posting makeup looks on my blog, you guys have been constantly requesting me to post about my skincare routine. This actually is the most requested post on my blog since I started blogging. I am happy that I am finally posting this on my blog. 

Before starting off, I would like to let you know a few important things. First, I am already blessed with a good skin, I never had breakouts, freckles or blemishes. I occasionally do tend to get one or two small pimples somewhere around my brows or on my nose but not more than that. I have a combination skin type which means my t-zone is oily and the rest of the face is normal to dry. But, in winters, my t-zone becomes really dry and flaky. So, my winter skincare routine is totally different from my summer skincare routine. The second thing I would like to tell you is that I do not say you can get a perfect skin just by copying my skincare routine. We all have different skin types. What works for me might not work for you. If you have the exact skin type like I have then you can surely use the products I use. If you are not taking care of your skin then do start the basic at the earliest. Don’t forget to cleanse, tone and moisturize your face at least twice a day. Skincare is the best investment you choose for yourself.

Morning Skincare Routine for Winters| cherryontopblog.com
My morning skincare routine consists of three parts- Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing. I will now be talking about each step elaborately and I will also mention the products I use.

Cleansing

The first thing I do right after getting up in the morning is brushing my teeth followed by cleansing my face. I make sure there is no change in this routine. The cold splash of water immediately wakes me up and makes me feel fresh. I love that feeling. I try to wash my face thrice a day but most of the days I end up washing it only twice. I don’t use any particular face wash for a long time. I keep switching my face washes firstly because I want my skin to be responsive, secondly and most importantly because my skin doesn’t react weirdly to different products. Anything and everything that I use suits my skin well. I just finished using my Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Face Cleanser (review will be up very soon) which I mentioned in my October Favourites post. Currently, I am using the Vitamin E Hydrating Face Wash by Gia Bath & Body Works. I received it as a deluxe sample in my November Subscription Box.

Scrubbing

I prefer scrubbing my face after I wash my face. I scrub my face every alternate day. I don’t like the feeling of bumps on my face plus, I have blackheads appearing every day. So, it is necessary for me to use a scrub regularly. I am currently using the VLCC Indian Berberry Face Scrub which is quite good in keeping my face hydrated even after scrubbing. So far my favourite facial scrub for winter is the Lotus Whiteglow Yogurt and Oatmeal Scrub, mostly because of its creamy texture and larger scrubbing particles.

Toning

I was not much into toning my skin until I found out how seriously effective it is for my skin. In summers, it takes care of the oiliness and in winters, it balances my skin properly. There are different types of toners for different purposes available in the market. I am currently using the Kama Ayurveda Pure Rose Water which I use as a toner, mostly because it balances the moisture during winters very well. Also, it keeps my face fresh throughout the day.

Moisturizing

Winter is very harsh to my skin. My skin feels like a paper if I don’t use a good moisturizer during winters. Recently I have found out my holy grail moisturizer for winters and it is the Cetaphil DailyAdvance Ultra Hydrating Lotion. I barely need a moisturizer for the rest of the year but in winters, I need a heavy duty moisturizer to take care of my dry, flaky skin. This moisturizer does a great job hydrating my face for a long, long time.



Morning Skincare Routine for Winters| cherryontopblog.com


My under-eye areas tend to get very dry during winters. So, I don’t forget to moisturize under the eyes as well. For that, I use my long time favourite eye cream which is The Body Shop’s Moisture White Shisho Brightening Eye Cream. I love this cream for two reasons- first, it has a great consistency that it doesn’t feel heavy on the delicate areas and secondly, it has a slight shimmer to it which helps to brighten up my under-eye areas.

For moisturizing my lips, especially during winters, I use a family-favourite cream that I have been using since childhood. It is the Boroline Antiseptic Ayurvedic cream. Being a Bengali, I have grown up relying on this cream. I love it. Nothing is as effective as Boroline on my chapped lips in winter.

 

Morning Skincare Routine for Winters| cherryontopblog.com

I was not a skincare person even a couple of years ago. The only skincare I used to do is to wash my face and apply a cream. But, that eventually ended up as a fail. I used to get frequent breakouts even if it was not that time of the month. I am so happy that I finally gave my skin some time and care and it gave me a great result. Now, I make sure I don’t skip my skincare routine whatsoever. I hope this post helped in encouraging you to start off with your own skincare regime. Do let me know if you have any query.

What is your favourite facial cleanser at this moment?

Let me know if you want me to post about my nighttime skincare routine for winters. I would love to share that with you. Till then, be safe & keep smiling!

Anarkali suits

What to Wear to My Best Friend’s Wedding? || Ft. BIBA

Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog. Today’s post is not something I usually do on my blog. Today’s post is more of a suggestion-seeking post where you guys will be my helping hands. Interested? Let me explain a bit more. 
It started when my best friend decided to get married to her dream man. Since then we have been planning on our outfits, jewellery, shoes, food, venue, and what not! Finally, her wedding date has been fixed and guess what she is getting married soon. On the one hand, I am really excited to see her unite with her love and on the other hand, I am really nervous because I am left with 90% of the shopping.

While I was on a hunt for the best ethnic wear, some of my friends suggested me to go for Biba for Anarkali suits. As they have an online store, I did not have any reasons to not decide it for the ultimate destination. While going through their Anarkali section, I came across a few pieces that I thought I can wear to different ceremonies like Sangeet, Haldi, Wedding and the reception. But, I am so confused a shopper when it comes to online shopping. I feel like everything is appealing and perfect for me. So, I want you guys to help me choose the perfect pieces for my friend’s wedding. You will help me, right? So, here are the options-

For Sangeet and Mehendi Ceremony

What to Wear to My Best Friend’s Wedding? || Ft. BIBA| cherryontopblog.com
I am confused between these two pieces for the Mehendi and Sangeet ceremony. Both of them are vibrant in colour but the first one is much more flared which I like and the second one is lighter as it seems in the photo. Which one should I pick?

For Haldi Ceremony

What to Wear to My Best Friend’s Wedding? || Ft. BIBA| cherryontopblog.com
As the Haldi ceremony is a daytime programme, I decided to go for pastel colours and ligh-weight material. Both the suits I chose are made of cotton so it will let my skin breathe in between the numerous chores. The one is white has short sleeves and the yellow one is in full-sleeves. I am only scared to getting turmeric stains. Which one should I opt for?

For the Wedding & Reception

What to Wear to My Best Friend’s Wedding? || Ft. BIBA| cherryontopblog.com


The reason why I decided to wear suits and not lehengas is because it’s my best friend’s wedding and knowing each other for over 15 years makes me more like her sister than a friend. You might know how tedious a job is to get your sister married, right? There are guests to attend, take care of the bride, running after decorators, supervise the makeup artists, click selfies, run other errands and what not! So, to manage everything without making yourself a mess you need to wear something which is really comfortable and at the same time exceptionally gorgeous! So, I have these two suits in my mind. I think I should wear the blue one for the wedding and the black for the reception. I am not totally sure if I will stick to my decision or go for something else. You guys tell me if you liked these two or not. 

That was it, guys. I am looking forward to hearing your valuable comments on this post. 

Which one you liked the most?

Cetaphil Daily Advance Ultra Hydrating Lotion Review | Cherry On Top
best Cetaphil moisturizers

Cetaphil Daily Advance Ultra Hydrating Lotion Review

My first experience with Cetaphil products was when I received a cleanser and moisturizer duo in one of my Fab Bags. Somehow I was not that impressed with either of them at that time. I quite liked the moisturizer as it was winter and my skin needed that extra hydration. About 3 months ago, I was looking for some skincare stuff for my mom. She has dry skin throughout the year, so I was looking for a moisturizer that would give her long-lasting hydration. Scrolling through the online website, I found this Cetaphil Daily Advance Ultra Hydrating Lotion for Dry to Very Dry Skin. I had trust in Cetaphil, so I bought it instantly. I was glad when my mom told me how effective it was on her. I could not resist myself from using it. Also, I have been suffering from dry patches around my lips (I’ll talk about it in a different post soon), so I thought of trying this lotion out and see if that works on me too or not.

Before getting into the review I must let you know something about my current skin condition. Although I have combination skin with extremely oily t-zone during the hotter months, in winters the scenario is completely opposite. In winters, my skin is extremely dry and flaky, especially the t-zone. Now, on to the review-
Price- Rs 307/- for 100g, Rs 136/- for 30g (Available at Nykaa.com)

Packaging- The Cetaphil Daily Advance Ultra Hydrating lotion comes in a tube packaging unlike other Cetaphil tub or bottle packaging. It has a flip open cap which makes it perfect for travelling. I quite like the packaging because it is sturdy, travel-friendly and I have control over the dispensing. The tube comes packed in a plain carton. I like the regular clinical packaging of this product. Some things are great in their own classic way.

The Product- The white coloured lotion is not as lotion-y as one might think of. It is meant for hydrating dry to very dry skin after all. The consistency is enough to moisturize my flaky, dry skin. It is neither too thin nor too thick. It is lightweight but enough to keep the skin moisturized for hours. This product is non-fragrant which is a trait that a lot of you may like. It contains “Epidermal Replenishing Complex5, a unique combination of 5 key ingredients that protects dry skin and enhances hydration.”

My thoughts- I am in love with this product since I used it for the first time. Previously, I had been using the Neutrogena Oil-free Moisturizer for Combination skin which failed to protect my skin in the winters. The Cetaphil Daily Advance Ultra Hydrating Lotion works really well for my skin. It keeps it moisturized for at least 10-12 hours (and more) which is great. I never had to reapply this while travelling. I use it religiously twice a day- in the morning and after the shower. I don’t love the feel it gives instantly after application, it takes a few minutes to get totally absorbed by the skin. It might feel a little greasy right after the application but it will not after it is absorbed by the skin.
Ups-
  • Convenient packaging.
  • Keeps skin moisturized for a long period of time.
  • Hydrates the skin evenly.
  • Does not clog pores. (Non-comedogenic)
  • Non-greasy.
  • Fragrance-free.
Downs-
Nothing.

Overall, I found the Cetaphil Daily Advance Ultra Hydrating Lotion very effective for my skin during winter. I can vouch for the long-lasting hydration it gives. I recommend this product to all of those who have extremely dry skin. It penetrates deep into the skin and provides ultimate hydration for a long time. My mom loves this, my sister who has sensitive skin also loves this. A 100g tube is enough for a person for an entire season. I will definitely repurchase this if I am able to finish it up completely before summer arrives (I don’t see it coming anytime soon). This has to be my winter skincare staple.

Have you used any of the Cetaphil moisturizers before?
I hope you find this review useful. If you did then don’t forget to share this post with your friends and family. I know a lot of you have been asking for my skincare routine. This is just to let you know that I am planning to post my skincare routine in parts (i.e. Morning Skincare Routine, Nighttime Skincare Routine) and that will be up next week. I will update you guys on Snapchat (sayantinee) or Facebook. Till then, be safe & keep smiling!

Cherry On Top Turns 3 // Giveaway Time!

Happy Birthday, Cherry On Top| cherryontopblog.com

Hello people, I can’t suppress my happiness to announce that it’s the 3rd birthday of Cherry On Top! I can clearly remember the day when the idea of my own beauty blog popped up in my mind. Back then, I was already active and engaged with my first blog, Another Part of Me.

Beauty and fashion have always been a part of me as writing poetry have been. I can’t distinctly distinguish between the two because both are exclusively attached to my psychic self. I had to give that a form in order to make it prominent enough so that I can completely absorb myself into the aim of accomplishing my dream. Finally, with your love, support and acceptance, it happened.

Cherry On Top has gone through numerous changes since its birth. But, the things that never changed are its honesty, candidness and obviously your love for it. I love it when people say that my blog is good and they enjoy reading it. I know it’s your love and support that encourages me to come up with new ideas which eventually lead to a enjoyable blog.

I promise to come up with more exciting posts in the future. I am planning to post my first YouTube video at the end of this month. I am also planning to start a couple of new segments on my blog to assist you to explore your inner-selves. Also, I have started showing you my everyday life, sneak-peeks and behind the scenes/camera activities on my Snapchat (sayantinee). So, if you are on Snapchat then don’t forget to follow me there 🙂
