Bioderma Sensibio H2O Review & Demo

Hello all, I am back with a new post as promised. Today I am here with another review post. The product I am going to review today is a very famous makeup remover cum cleanser cum toner. It is the Bioderma Sensibio H2O micellar water. Bioderma is a well-known French skincare brand. They have a variety of products for almost every skin concern. Sadly, only a few products are available in India. I think among the few the Sensibio H2O is the largest selling product in India.

Before I proceed, let me tell you about micellar waters. Micellar waters are solutions that remove makeup and cleanse your face without the need to wash off. You can cleanse your face with a micellar water and just go to bed right after that. No fuss, right?

Now, let’s jump into the review-

Price: 599 INR for 100 ml and 860 INR for 250 ml.
Packaging: Bioderma Sensibio H2O comes in a clear plastic packaging with a pink flip open cap. The product description and the ingredients list is attached to the bottle in two separate labels. The packaging is sturdy and travel-friendly. The 100 ml pack is almost like a travel-sized packaging which is great if you want to carry it everywhere.

Product: The product is a water-based formula with a substantial cleansing property. It even looks like water. It is mildly scented although it is said to be fragrance-free. The best part is that it doesn’t contain alcohol.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), PEG-6 Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, Propylene Glycol, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Mannitol, Xylitol, Rhamnose, Fructooligosaccharides, Disodium Edta, Cetrimonium Bromide.

My Experience: I love using a toner after cleansing my face. It gives me a feeling of the cleaner face. I have been using the Bioderma Sensibio H2O for a month and I can say I am totally impressed by its quality. This multipurpose solution helps to remove makeup (even the most stubborn ones) as well as cleanse and tone your skin. As a perk for lazy people, it doesn’t require to be washed off afterwards (but I like to wash my face to finish off the cleansing process). I don’t like my toners to be scented but this one just bothers me much because it is subtly scented. It is safe for eyes. It doesn’t irritate my eyes or trouble my vision. It removes makeup very well and without any hassle. It is able to remove waterproof makeup from my eyes so gently without pulling and tugging. That’s definitely a great thing.

 I have made a habit of using this product on a daily basis. I like to use it in the mornings because that is the time when my skin tends to get the oiliest and grimy. I use it after I cleanse my face with my favourite cleanser. It is non-oily but it doesn’t help with oiliness, neither it claims to do so. When it comes to removing makeup, I like to soak some of the product on a cotton ball or pad and hold it in both my eyes for a good 10-15 seconds and then wipe off. I learnt this technique from Debashree, an Indian YouTuber. It magically removes all the makeup (waterproof and non-waterproof) and grime. I had been using the Lakme Absolute Bi-Phased Makeup Remover but I ended up hating it as it burns my eyes. Now, I am absolutely happy with my Bioderma Sensibio H2O as a makeup remover as well as a mild cleanser cum toner. The best part is that you don’t need to carry a tonne of products when you are travelling. This product is an all-in-one product that can replace your makeup removers, cleansers and toners.
Here’s a demo for better understanding-
Ups:
  • Gently removes makeup and grime.
  • Removes makeup very effectively.
  • Mildly scented.
  • Suits every skin type.
  • Non-oily.
  • Water-based formula feels almost like water.
  • Light-weight formula.
  • Doesn’t need a rinse.
  • Gentle on eyes.
  • Doesn’t break out.
  • Doesn’t irritate the skin.
  • Easily available on almost all the leading online beauty stores in India.
Downs: No downside.
Overall, the product is something every woman needs to have in their kitty. It is affordable in terms of longevity. The 100 ml products go for a long time as it needs a little to clean up your face. I am in love with this product and I will be repurchasing it once I finish it. I recommend this product to everyone out there. I hope you liked my review. If you did then don’t forget to share it with your friends. Share your opinions with me in the comments below. I will be back with a new post soon. Till then be safe & keep smiling!

My Experience with Aplava.com and a Mini Haul

Hi guys, so I am finally back after being MIA for a long. A lot has happened to me and my life has completely changed since my last post. I am not in a state to discuss about it in this post. Some of you might know it but for the rest I will try to talk about it in a life update post. Today, I wanted to share my experience of an recent online purchase from a new online store in the block named Aplava.com. This review was long due since I made my purchase in late June. So, without further ado let me quickly share my views on this website and show you what I got from there.

“

Aplava derives its name from sanskrit origins. Aplava (pronounced “AAp luv” in original sanskrit) means taking a bath to purify oneself. It’s an ablution process of cleansing oneself. 

 ”

Aplava.com is a startup online beauty store which brings to you the best quality Indian and and international brands together. They have stocked almost everything from skincare to babycare. The best thing about this site is that they work directly with the manufacturers or authentic distributors which guarantees you get the authentic product every time you shop. Another thing that I liked about this site is that you get recommendations on products that suits your requirements. These recommendations are based on your Beauty Score that you are asked to calculate at the time you register. 

What is My Beauty Score?

My Beauty Score is nothing but a questionnaire that you are asked to fill up at the time you register for Aplava. This questionnaire includes a few questions that helps the team to understand your beauty needs or skin concerns and recommend the best products on your search. I found my Beauty Score is 48% which is pretty low 🙁

My experience: 
On June 27th I made my very first purchase from Aplava.com. I decided to get a mix of makeup and skincare products. I got the MeMeMe Flawless Concealer that I always wanted in my life along with the Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in Unapologetic, the Street Wear Color Rich Ultra Moist Lip Color in Pink Persuasion  and Just Herbs Almond Complexion Face Pack. I received the my products on 4th of July which is pretty fast for my address. I am quite satisfied with the delivery. The package arrived safely with all the products in excellent condition. The products were individually bubble wrapped. I did not have any issue with the shipping or with the products so I can’t really talk about the return or refund issues.

They give you an opportunity to ask the group of experts (including beauty experts and dermatologists) if you have any query. The Beauty Score thing totally worked for me as the products that were recommended for me were absolutely appropriate. The list of products is not much but I have to acknowledge that the catalogue they offer and the quality of brands as well as the products is way too rich despite them being a startup venture. 



Things That I Liked about Aplava.com:

  • Over 3000 products from Indian and international brands to choose from. 
  • Product recommendation based on your need and concern by select experts. 
  • A chance to accumulate points from every product you purchase and redeem them. 
  • Free shipping over 1500 INR.
  • 10 days free return. 
  • 24×7 customer care service.
  • Easy navigation. 

Overall, I really liked this website. My experience with Aplava was very satisfactory. I wish to shop more often in future. I would like them to introduce more brands both high-end and drugstore soon. I hope you found this post helpful for your next shopping. Write down your favourite website for international beauty products. I will be back again with some new posts soon. Till then be safe and keep smiling!

5 Things to Keep in Your Purse If You Have Unruly Hair

5 Things to Keep in Your Purse If You Have Unruly Hair

I am not blessed with good hair. Congratulations to those who are. Every time I leave my hair open and step outside, it starts to behave in a weird way. I generally travel by public transport(local trains, most of the time) and love the window-seats. No matter how well you’ve applied your hair-spray you can’t avoid hitting by a continuous wave of wild wind and finally turning into a mass of hey or a scarecrow. Whenever I decide to let my hair open I end up changing my mind because it is either too hot outside or I start to feel uncomfortable (I am a bun and ponytail person, guys!). 

Packing my bag for a day, I always forget to pack hair-ties or clips which leads to an absolute mayhem and I come home with a knotty and messy hair. I have recently come across an article on Rewardme, which I felt is wrote for me and lots of others who face the same problem. This article shows five products that can be proved essential if you have a bad hair day. These five things are-



1. Bobby Pins- Bobby pins need no introduction. We all know how victorious is the moment when we find a bobby pin in our purse to grab a rebellious lock of hair. You hair is all over the place or your bun becoming way too messy, don’t worry you have got a saviour, a bobby pin! The article also teaches you the right way to put a bobby pin. 

Source- Ebay

2. Dry Shampoo: Dry shampoos come in handy if you have a oily scalp like mine. My hair starts to get oily from the second day. As soon as it seems oily it seems thin and unhealthy. All you have to do is to keep a travel-sized dry shampoo in you purse, spray it whenever you need it and it will make your hair look fresher and healthier instantly. 

Source- okwow

3. Hairspray: Just as I mentioned earlier, hairsprays (for me, a strong hold is must) are must-have if you have terribly unruly hair like mine. 

Source- dazzlebeautystore

4. Mini-toothbrush: Now, I was completely unaware of this thing. Thanks you Rewardme for this tip! A tooth-brush has manifold usages. You can spray some hairspray onto the brush and use it to tame your baby hairs along the hairline or the frisky flyaways.

Source- citysearch.com

5. Clear Ponytail Holders: This one is my favourite among all as I love to do it myself every time I feel uncomfortable with the open hair. It is the easiest way to manage your unruly hair yet look fashionably attractive. Just tie up your hair in a ponytail using clear ponytail holders. 

Source- Etsy


That’s all for this article. I found it really helpful because most of us have to (almost) fight to make our hair look perfect for the day. Somedays your hair behaves well and somedays it is unruly as hell. I hope you guys found the article helpful too. Feel free to share your opinions in the comments.

How To

How to Look Perfect in Photographs| Inspired Post

Hello everyone, how are you doing? Today I have come up with a number of tips on how to look best in photographs. I hope you enjoy this post. Let’s start- 

Makeup for photography is entirely different from the makeup we do for normal days. The flash not only brightens up your face but also it takes away the natural colours and shadows from your face. Plus, the millions of pixels in a photograph emphasizes even the pettiest flaw in your makeup. Today, I am sharing some tips with you so that you can look your best in the photographs and I am sure it will lessen your post-processing time. 

First thing first, you need to prepare your face pretty well before putting on your makeup. Make sure you cleanse and moisturize your face nicely. You would not want your camera to emphasize those rebellious dry patches on your cheeks, chin or around your mouth. Don’t forget your lips!

1. Define Your Brows: Flash photography can emphasize sparse eyebrows. It can even wash out those brows that look quite thick in reality. So, make sure you define your eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil or powder or any brow defining gel. Finish it off with applying some clear brow gel or clear mascara on top of it to keep it in place. 

Used a deep brown eye-shadow to fill in my brows

2. Choose the Right Foundation: Foundation helps to even out your skin tone giving you the perfect canvas to work on. Do not choose a foundation that is way lighter than your skin tone. It would not make your look fair rather it would make your skin appear as a mask in the photographs. Nobody want that, right?

Used Lakme CC Cream as a base/foundation

3. Never Forget to Conceal: You must not skip the step of concealing your under-eye area and your blemishes or breakouts. Let’s admit it, everyone wants to look perfect on photographs. Your dark circles might ruin your whole makeup. Plus, concealer helps brighten up your face. 


4. Contour Your Face: Contouring is not only for making your face look slimmer. It actually brings back the structure to your face that your foundation takes away. It gives a depth and definition to your face that saves your face from looking flat in photographs.

5. Tight-lining Your Eyes: This is a step that instantly brings changes to your eyes. After lining your eyes line your upper and lower waterline. By lining your upper waterline you can fill in the gaps that show through your lashes, especially you have scarce eyelashes. It will make your lashes thicker. I love doing this step.

Used Maybelline Colossal Kajal to tightline my eyes


6. Focus on Your Lips: No matter which lip shade you choose, make sure you line your lips before putting on any lip colour. If you have thinner upper lip, make sure to overdraw it so that it looks fuller on camera. Apply some concealer around the outline of your lips to make everything neat.

Lipstick- MAC Plumful, Lip-liner- Maybelline Midnight Plum

I hope this post helps you to get your best photograph. If you have any more tips then share them with me in the comments below. Thanks for reading!

The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso 2 in 1 Brightening Eye Cream| Review

Hi lovelies, how are you all? I can’t believe it’s July already and my birthday is next month! Are you enjoying the monsoon?

Today I am here to review a product that I have been using for almost 2 months now. It is The Body Shop’s Moisture White Shiso Brightening Eye Cream (a mouthful!). Though I started using this almost four months ago, after using it for 15 days I had to stop using it while my skin was going through a major irritation and rashes. Later, I find out that it was because of a moisturizer that I was using then. After over a period of one month, I started using it again. I have been loving this product since then. Now, let’s know more about this product-

Product Description (As per the website):

A dual-action cream that brightens the eye area and improves darkened skin. The premium micro-circulating massager stimulates circulation to reduce signs of fatigue. Contains Shiso extract and Community Fair Trade organic aloe. Suitable for all skin types.
-Brightens and targets signs of fatigue around eyes.
-The skin around the eye area feels fresher and smoother.
-77% agree that skin tone around eyes is lighter after use* * Based on an external survey on 120
Asian women.
Price: 2,295 INR 
Packaging: The Body Shop Moisture White Brightening Eye Cream comes in a sleek white plastic tube packaging with a metal dispenser-cum-applicator and a semi-transparent plastic screw cap.
Product: The product is white in colour, thick but lightweight and creamy in texture. It has a hint of sheen to it.
My Thoughts: The Body Shop Moisture White Shiso 2-in-1 Brightening Eye Cream is a very creamy and lightweight product that works really well to brighten up your under-eye area. I have oily skin and the most affected areas are my T-zone and under-eyes. Although the cream is very creamy, it does not makes my under-eyes greasy. The consistency of this product is neither runny nor very thick. It is just sufficient to spread evenly. It has a dash of shimmer to it that adds a sheen to the under-eye area in order to brighten it up. I like to apply it by taking one dot on my ring finger and warm it a bit with the ring finger of the opposite hand and then finally dab it on the areas where I need it. In this way, the product does not get wasted and a very less amount of product is used. I use the metal nozzle to blend the product into the skin rather than applying directly with it. The metal nozzle surely helps to soothe the eye area. I have not seen any dramatic reduction of my dark circles but the areas are brighter now.
Ups:
  • Moisturizes the under-eye areas very well.
  • Creamy yet not greasy.
  • Brightens up the eyes, giving them a healthy glow.
  • Non-allergic.
  • A little goes a long way.
  • The metal nozzle helps in soothing the under-eye skin.
Downs:
  • The product gets gathers in the outlet, creating a mess.
  • The packaging makes it impossible to keep track of the usage.
Overall, I love this product. It is now a must-have in my kitty. My skincare is almost incomplete without this. Every time I use it, it makes my eye area much more alive. I think you must give it a try once. I bet you would love it. I would love to know your thoughts on this product. I’ll be back with a new post very soon. Till then be safe & keep smiling!

Garnier Pure Active Neem Tulsi High Foaming Face Wash| Review

Hello lovelies, here I am back with another review as promised. I actually have been trying a lot of new launches for last couple of months and thus there is a delay in posting. Last month Garnier had launched another facial skincare product which is included in their Pure Active range. This is the High Foaming face wash. Garnier say that this product has the benefits of two commonly used Indian herbs- Neem and Tulsi (basil). Today, I will be sharing my experience with this product. 

If you follow me on Instagram (@cherryontopblog), you must have seen a picture of the product. I have been using it since then. I think it has been almost a month since I started using it. I am now ready to deliver my views. So, let’s jump into it!

Price- 105 INR for 100gm and 60 INR for 50gm

Packaging- The first thing I liked about this product is its fresh packaging. It comes in a clear bottle with a regular flip cap. The packaging is sturdy, totally spill-proof so can be traveled with. The transparent bottle allows you to keep checking how much product you are left with. That’s a good thing for me. 
Product- The product is a green coloured gel-based foaming cleanser. The consistency is slightly runny. It lathers a lot thus it is true to its claim of being a high foaming face wash.

My thoughts-  I wash my face with this face wash thrice a day. I normally take two drops on my palm and apply it directly on to the skin. Only two drops are adequate for my face and neck. I like to rub this product on my skin for 10-15 seconds to form the lather (not that it requires that much of time, it is just that like too much lather on my face). The great thing about this face wash is despite being a high foaming cleanser, it doesn’t dry out your skin. I have used foaming cleansers in the past and they used to leave my skin with a stretchy feeling after every use. Garnier Pure Active High Foaming face wash is nothing like them. It rather replenishes the skin giving a natural glow to it. Every time I use this face wash I feel my skin is oil-free but not dehydrated. It makes my face soft and supple. Another thing is that it takes off all the oil from my skin (I have extremely oily t-zone) thus leaving it healthy and fresh. I don not have acne-prone skin so I can’t make a remark on that part. I can say that this product has not caused me any breakout so far.

Overall, I am totally in love with this product. This is one of my HG skincare products now. Being a gel cleanser, it suits oily to combination skin perfectly. The price is within budget. I did not find a single reason to dislike this product. So far I am happy with this product. 
That’s all, people! I hope you found this review helpful. Have anyone of you used this? I would love to know your views too. If you liked this post then don’t forget to share with your friends. Hope to follow my new blogging schedule. I will be here with a new post soon. Till then be safe & keep smiling!

Gifting Made Easy with IGP| Review

Hello guys! I hope you are doing great. Today, I will be reviewing a gift portal that has a large number of online gifts for several occasions. Today, I will be talking about a site named IGP. India is known to have several occasions throughout the year- Holi, Raksha Bandhan, Janmashtami, Durga Puja, Navratri, Eid, Diwali, Christmas and lots of other festivities. How can we forget about international ones like Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, Women’s Day, etc. Birthdays and anniversaries are bonuses. So, it is obvious that we need to keep gifting quite frequently. IGP is a site that makes that bulk gifting possible.

 

With thousands of products across various categories, it is easy for you to choose the right gift. There is a long list of items, from home decor to personal care. The list also contains flower delivery, chocolates, cakes, apparel, stationery, kitchenware, beauty essentials, jewelry, and many more. They also ship across the world. Yes, they have international shipping. Isn’t that great?

What I liked most about IGP
  • International shipping.
  • Same-day delivery options
  • Secure payment method.
  • Preferred delivery is where you can choose the delivery date yourself.
  • Amazing range of products that suits every occasion and personality.
  • Hand-to-hand delivery for flowers and cakes
  • Personalized gifts.
  • Reasonably priced products
  • Easy navigation.
  • Easy return, refund, or order cancellation.
You can also search for the right gifts for the occasion just by entering the required data, which seemed very helpful to me. No one wants to get lost in the ocean of gifts. It saves you valuable time. For those who travel most of the time, you can set a delivery date yourself as per your preference.

Overall, I quite liked this website. With this, I don’t have to worry about gifting my precious ones, and I also don’t have to worry about sending flowers and chocolates to those who live far away from me. This awesome site has multiple payment options, and they have an SSL certificate enabled for the shopping cart and payment page, which makes your payment secure.

You can choose from a large variety of gifts for mother for Mother’s Day. I hope you find a lovely gift. Happy gifting!

Gia Bath & Body Works Coffee Body Polish| Review

 Hey dolls, hope you all are doing good. I just noticed that I have not posted any product reviews for a long time. So, here is one for you. I have been planning to review a body scrub for so long and now here it is. Today, I am going to review a very famous coffee body scrub from one of my favourite skincare brands that is Gia Bath & Body Works. If you are following my blog for a long time then you would know that I have reviewed their soaps once on my blog. If you have not read that post, check it now here.
Coffee may not be good for your health but it is really good for your skin. Coffee has the power to reduce tan and exfoliate efficiently. I have always wanted to make a DIY coffee scrub but I failed several times due to my laziness (guilty as charged). But, my wish came true when I found out a jar of the delicious-smelling Coffee Body Polish hiding in my Gia Bath & Body Works products. Gayatri, the owner of Gia Bath & Body Works is too kind to send a freebie with the purchased products. I am really thankful to her for she chose just the right product to surprise me. Thank you, Gayatri di 😀
Now, let’s jump into the review. Let me tell you first that I have been using the Gia Bath & Body Works Coffee Body Polish since April and loving it since my very first use.

The product comes in the plastic jar with an aluminium screw lid which is totally spill-proof. The label mentioning the name of the product, ingredients and price is attached to the jar. The appearance of the product states its handmade attribute. The sturdy plastic packaging makes it travel-friendly. The scrub is very sticky in texture. It smells of real coffee. The moment the whiff enters your nose you immediately know that you have spent on the right product. The Gia Bath & Body Works Coffee Body Polish is high in consistency thus need to be mixed with little water in order to apply evenly all over the body. Because of the intense consistency, a little amount of the product is enough for my entire body. The fragrance lingers for a long period of time which is a bonus for me.

Price: 590 INR for 150gm

The gentle yet effective sugar granules help scour out the dry skin making the skin really soft and smooth. The scrub is not harsh on your skin at all. It doesn’t irritate or dry out my normal skin. I have not experienced any type of skin allergy or side effects on my skin so far. 150 grams of product is priced 590/- which I think is totally fair for a handmade product. I have been using it for 2 months for twice a week and I think I have only finished up 30% of the product so far. So, this is absolutely a smart investment.

I am in love with this product since I started using it. When it comes to skincare we all need something that contains the right ingredients that prove to be beneficial for your skin. Gia Bath & Body works is such a brand that I can completely rely on. I would definitely suggest you to buy this scrub and to try out yourself. You can buy from their website or you can contact them on their Facebook Page to order directly or for any queries.

I hope if found this review helpful. Write in the comments if you have used any of the Gia Bath & Body Works products and why you love them. Comment below telling which is your favourite body polish/scrub so far.  I will be back again with a new post soon. Till then be safe & keep smiling!

My Shopping Experience with Limeroad.com

Hey lovelies, how are you all? If you follow me on Facebook (if you don’t then do it now!), you would know that my hard disk was paining me so much resulting in no photo editing, no storage for documents and a series of haphazard situations. But, my boyfriend finally fixed the problem and now it’s all fine. This means I will be regular with posting new blog posts. Let’s see!

Today, I will be sharing with you a long overdue review of an online store named LimeRoad.com. I think most of you would be familiar with this name. With a huge stock of clothes, accessories, cosmetics and household goods, Limeroad is surely on a par with the other leading online shopping sites. The best thing about Limeroad is that you can create your own fashion ensemble in their ‘Scrapbook’ sections and earn some LR Credits that can be redeemed while you buy something from them. Each credit is equivalent to one rupee. Isn’t that amazing?

My Shopping Experience with Limeroad.com

I have shopped four times from them. My first order was a pair of brown wayfarer sunglasses that I am totally in love with. My first experience with them was really nice. I got the product exactly on time without any dispatch hassles. The packaging was really sturdy. You know how delicate sunglasses are! They need to be packed with proper care and Limeroad had looked after that. After that I bought another pair of blue aviators for my sister and again it was a pleasant experience. Recently (read 4 months ago) I bought two tops from them. One for me and the other for my sister. Here is a picture- 

My Shopping Experience with Limeroad.com



How to create Scrapbooks? 

Creating look-book in the Scrapbook section is the most interesting part to me. I love dress-up games so when I am not shopping with Limeroad, I like to create looks that would reflect my style. It’s really very easy to create scrapbooks on Limeroad. You need to click on the ‘Scrapbook’ tab on the right of the page and then choose a template and add items. After you save the scrapbook you can see your LR Credits increase. These scrapbooks can be shared with others so that they know about your taste and get inspired. 

I am listing up a few things that I like about Limeroad-

  • Over a million styles, numerous brands and products at one place. 
  • Easy navigation.
  • Timely dispatch.
  • Cash on Delivery available.
  • Free shipping over Rs. 300
  • Supportive customer service. 
  • Secure packaging. 
  • Facility to earn points through creating scrapbooks. 

They also have a mobile app but I never found it to be enough helpful. I would rather prefer their website for shopping.

I hope this post is helpful for all of you who love online shopping. Would you give this site a try? What is your all time favourite online store? Let me know in the comments. As I said earlier, I am trying to be more regular with posting. So, yo may expect a new post mid-week. Till then be safe and keep smiling!

Making Your Skin Happy| The #TwiceAsNice Project with Garnier



Hey all! How are you? If you follow me on Facebook or Instagam you might know that I lost my maternal grandfather a few weeks ago. Blogging took a backseat since then as I was totally busy in attending his funeral and other rituals. After spending almost a month at my maternal grandparents’ home, I am finally back. I promise to blog more often from now. Now, let’s talk about this post. A fellow blogger and friend, Shreoshe from Bong Beauty Palette, asked me to collaborate with her in an activity called ‘Twice As Nice’ by Garnier. I readily agreed to her proposal because of two things that flashed in my mind at that time. First, I had never done a collaboration post with anyone before and second, the name Twice As Nice impressed me a lot.

We decided to combine the topics we mostly talk about in our blogs, like, she mostly reviews skincare items and my blog is full of makeup items reviews and tutorials. So, we are going to talk about how makeup and skincare works together to make you beautiful and how they are twice as nice!

Shreoshe from Bong Beauty Palette
Shreoshe will tell you how daily skincare is must to make your skin happy and healthy forever. This is what she has to say-

“

As the temperature rises high in summer, our skin has to face the harsh sunlight every day. Adding to that our skin feels oily, sweaty and thus attracts a lot of dirt in summer, not to forget the suntan and blemishes that joins in! Here are some handy tips to keep your skin healthy and radiant during summer:
  • Keep yourself hydrated. Drink 8-10 glasses of water each day and carry water bottle while you go out. 
  • Use sunscreen before going out in the morning. Apply the sunscreen at least 30 minutes before you leave the house. 
  • Use natural toner at home like cucumber juice, store it in fridge and use it whenever your skin feels dull or tired. 
  • Cleanse your face twice a day with a good face wash that will remove dirt and oil effectively. 
  • To get rid of tan, mix gram flour with yogurt and apply the paste all over the tanned area. Wash it off after 20 minutes. 
  • Use shower gels and bath salts to get a glowing skin. 
  • Have a good sleep to reduce stress.

Now after the very important skincare regime, you need some more pampering. Let’s allow your makeup products to take that responsibility. I will show you how to do a very easy, fresh and effortless makeup for this summer. Follow the five easy steps to achieve the look that I created-

  • Prepare your base with any BB cream/ tinted moisturizer and concealer you like. Don’t forget to apply a matte and sweat-proof compact on top of that. 
  • To add a natural flush to your cheeks apply some pink/coral blush to the apples of your cheeks. 
  • Tightline your eyes with a black kohl. If you have very oily lower waterline like I do then skip tightlining your lower waterline. 
  • Curl your lashes and apply a good amount of mascara. 
  • Apply your favourite summery pink lipstick.

~My Take on the Garnier Pure Active Duo~


The Garnier Pure Active duo is basically a face-wash and a scrub, a combo that is #TwiceAsNice. We all know that scrubbing your face at least twice a week is very good for our skin as it removes all the dirt and dead-cells that tend to clog our pores and causes breakouts. The Garnier Pure Active Exfoliating Face Scrub is a creamy scrub filled with apricot seed powder. The scrubbing particles are finely milled so that they don’t feel harsh on your skin. This mild scrub gently scours away all the impurities from your skin without making it dry.

Garnier Pure Active Neem Purifying Face Wash

The Garnier Pure Active Neem Purifying Face Wash is rich in all the benefits of Neem as you can tell. It’s a gel based face wash that lathers well but doesn’t make your skin feel stretchy or dry after the wash. It removes the extra oiliness from your skin which is best for me in this season. It also deep cleanses your skin to remove all the dirt from your pores. I love the smell of both the products. They have very refreshing, fruity and summery fragrance in them. I love how they make my skin feel soft and fresh. I have been using them for a week now and so far I am impressed by their effectiveness. I can share my final opinion about the duo only after using them for a couple of weeks. The duo is worth trying out. Have you guys tried the Garnier Pure Active duo yet?
