Hey guys!

It's been long time but here’s a new blogpost. 

This post is dedicated to some absolute beauty favourites of mine without which I wouldn’t dare leave my house.


Since I have to rush to college in the morning, I do not apply any makeup but I also cannot leave the house without smacking these products on my face.

Each of these products serve a different purpose and takes up literally just five minutes of my morning. So here’s the whole insight on what my morning routine looks like.

  • Kama Pure Distilled Rosewater


Although it sounds all boujee this is just a normal rose water that I like to spray on my face as it wakes me up right away in the morning. I’m not sure if it really does anything but I enjoy spraying it on my face.

  • Embryolisse Les Hydrants


This is a moisturiser that I found works the best for me. It is such a versatile product as you can use it as a moisturiser, makeup primer, makeup remover and a hydrating mask. Also the best part about it is that it suits all skin types, from oily to dry and sensitive. This just gives me the right amount of hydration to my face without making my face feel sticky. It also gives me the perfect glow which is always welcomed.

  • Kiehil’s creamy eye treatment


Okay so for some reason I have really dry eyelids. I’m not a fan of my lids shedding skin like a snake and so I ended up trying a few eye creams until I managed to stick with this one. This one  is really thick and extremely hydrating. I’ll admit that it makes my eyelids feeling a bit sticky but I can over look that with the rightful purpose that it serves.  

  • Lotus Safe sun UV screen Matte Gel


This is inspired from my mom’s routine, I had a really ignorant attitude towards using sunscreens  until I watched my mom use it every single day. Now I do not skip a day of wearing this stuff. One difference that I have noticed is that my skin looks less dull by the end of the day.
I loves this one as it’s gel formulated hence it doesn’t leave that ugly white cast on your skin that most sunscreens do, hence works well underneath make up too.

So here’s a very real morning routine which hardly takes away few minutes off your morning giving you extra minutes of sleep which we all love.

Thank You!

Hey guys!

I’m back with yet another look. I’ve created this relaxed and easy look which is brown skin friendly.




I love the colour peach and while looking for an inspiration I came across many looks that just don’t go well with tanned skin. Its either the shade that they use doesn’t compliment my skin tone or the colour turns up pink or beige on my eyelids. But I was determined to find a look that would meet my desire since I just adored the way it looked on other models and beauty gurus. This is a subtle look that you can wear with almost any kind of outfit, be it a simple college outfit or your most extravagant lehnga.


So here’s the tea on how I created this look, all thanks to theBalm cosmetics blush in the shade Swiss Dot. I’m in love with it.


I wanted my skin to look natural and glowy, hence I used the MAC strobe cream underneath my Becca ultimate coverage foundation, which has a natural finish, both adding up to give me a radiant looking base. 


This is a very quick and easy look to do, meaning beginners can try it along with those who are running late and don’t want to be worried about having to match the wings of your eyeliner or simply messing everything up. In the video you can see that I used the blush on my eyelids giving the look a monochromatic touch.


Here’s the video on the look and scroll further to see the products I used.



Product breakdown:

FACE
  • Benefit Porefessional primer
  • MAC Strobe cream - Peachlite
  • Becca Ultimate Coverage Complexion Creme - Olive
  • Wet n wild photo focus concealer - Medium Tawny
  • Innisfree no sebum mineral powder
  • NARS pressed powder - Valley (i use it as contour)
  • MAC mineralize skinfinish bronzer - Global glow
  • theBalm Instain long wearing powder blush - Swiss dot
  • Camelia De Chanel highlighter [it is a limited edition highlighter so I’m not sure if they still sell it]
EYES
  • On the crease:
Huda beauty desert dusk palette shade - Amber
  • On the lids:
theBalm Instain long wearing powder blush - Swiss dot
  • To line the eyes:
Morphe x Jaclyin Hill palette shades - Mocha + Soda pop

LIPS
  • NYX Lip linegere liquid lipstick - Seduction

The palettes I used for the eye look are quite expensive and the morphe palette is difficult to find in India so you can save some $$ by using the Makeup Revolution Re-Loaded Palette - Iconic Fever to create a similar look.

I hope this was helpful. I worked really hard on this post and the video so please be sure to share it. Also follow my blog and subscribe to my YouTube channel to see more posts like this one.

Thank You!

Hey guys!

This is a post written by my bestie, Niharika, who is owns the most amazing blog: themonochromaticblog.com and I just thought of asking her to feature on my blog. Read along to find out her tips on how to maintain your skin after recovering from acne. Also scroll till the end of this page to find her blog link and social medias.

I have dealt with acne since I was 11 or 12. It started on my forehead and then eventually made its way over to the rest of my face with time. I tried every homemade remedy in the book and couldn’t get rid of it completely. I finally resorted to medication. I went to my dermatologist every month and bought expensive acne treatments and medications.
If you have spent a lot of money in trying to control or get rid of your acne, the least you could do is make sure you maintain your skin so you don’t have to go through all of that again. Here are the top 3 rules I swear by to maintain my skin even on the most challenging hormonal days!

  1. Don’t touch your face!
No popping pimples! No self-extracting whiteheads and blackheads! No scratching face! Do NOT pick at your face because it may seem like just one little white head or just one little spot on your face but the next thing you know, you see another one and another one and another one. I cannot stress how good and clean my face feels and looks when I leave it alone for even a couple days! 
My face gets itchy often as I have combination skin but when you scratch your face it may just seem a little affected at the time but you could end up leaving scratches on your face and scarring or causing acne marks to be left behind.

  1. Eat healthy and drink a ton of water!
I don’t think diet has an instant effect on my skin in terms of increasing acne, but I know it affects a lot of people. However, eating healthy does improve my skin significantly. I notice when I eat a lot of fruits, my skin is a bit more glowy and feels healthy. I recently went on a one-week smoothie diet where I would drink a smoothie a day (along with the normal 3 meals of the day) and I just felt so good inside and out. 
I also drink a lot more water when my skin starts acting up. The more you hydrate, the better your skin will look and the more healthy you will be from the inside too!

  1. Pamper yourself!
Washing your face every day has been spoken about by everyone. But put on a face mask once in a while, or make one out of organic ingredients you can find in your home! Give your skin some extra love to help it regenerate faster. Even though a face mask or a face wash/cleanser won’t necessarily remove existing acne, it will clean your skin and give it the moisture/nutrients it needs and will make your skin look better. Pampering your skin the right way will help prevent more breakouts too!

At the end of the day, self-care is the most important. You need to feel happy on the inside and on the outside so do whatever you think your skin needs and look at the bigger picture to avoid damaging your skin because of in-the-moment decisions!

Hey there lovely people!

I recently went shopping and bought quite a lot of things. Some products, I’ve been dying to buy and some of them are just some random things I’d like to try out.




I just made this aesthetic video of all the products I bought, you can check that out and scroll further if you wish to see some details of the products that I bought.



Here’s the list of things I recently added to my vault.

1. NYKAA MATTE TO LAST LIQUID LIPSTICK - CHAI



I ordered this lipstick off nykaa.com . I had been dying to try one of their lipsticks since the longest time. Also I really wanted a brown lipstick for a while. I’m just glad I found this product at the right time. It has a very matte finish and doesn’t come off easily which is really great. I love that it is really small in size as it can fit anywhere, perfect for travelling.





2. BENEFIT COSMETICS WATT’S UP HIGHLIGHTER



I’ve been looking for a cream highlighter for the longest time to be a part of my everyday makeup routine. This is because they are really subtle and easy to blend. You can use these without applying a foundation as they don’t need any kind of base to stick to unlike powder highlighters. This won’t be easily wiped away neither will it transfer on your hand with a single touch like most powder highlighters do, specially when applied without a base. The shade of this strobing cream matches with my tanned skin perfectly, I’m so excited to use this one out.



3. BECCA BEACH TINT - WATERMELON



This is one of those products which I bought just because I love the brand so much. But needless to say I am in love with this product, specially the way it smells. This is a lip/ cheek stain. Such kind of products give the most natural look and lately I’ve been enjoying such minimal effort looks. It is quite expensive for the size. But I can't wait to try this one out.



4. COVER FX CUSTOM ENHANCER DROPS - CANDLELIGHT




Somebody really has to stop me from hovering around any strobing products because the obsession is real. I mean this product looks so cool and is so versatile. Can’t wait to use it. This is basically a liquid highlighter that you can wear under your foundation, mix it in your foundation, wear it like you wear any other highlighter or can be used to illuminate your décolletage or just the whole body.




5. SEPHORA LIP GLOSS - SAND



I just wanted a clear lipgloss with some golden flex in it. From the swatches, I can see that it is pretty clear and also doesn't feel uncomfortably sticky like most glosses do. The great thing about this gloss is that I can wear it alone or with any lipstick shade from very nude to the boldest black if you have it in your collection.




6.  GIVENCHY NOIR INTERDIT MASCARA




I’ve been wanting to try some new mascara since a very long time because I keep shuffling between my Le Volume de Chanel and Benefit Roller lash. I had been eyeing this one since quite some time. Its just so cool, the wand sold me on this one. It is designed differently than other mascara wands which I am really curious to find out wether it would match my mascara requirements. Also as I opened it I find out that it smells like roses, this is definitely going to be one of those products which I keep with me even after I run out of it. 





7. CHANEL ROUGH ALLURE - ELEGANT




In the beginning I was quite hesitant to buy this lip shade. Chanel has very few dark shades present in the Maroon / brown range which I was hoping for to buy, and I was not really in the mood to buy another red or pink lipstick. Also I don’t usually go for any mauve shades but I bought this one just to get my self out go my comfort zone and also extend the number of looks I can do with the help of a purple-y shade lipstick. I love that its sheer and you can make it pigmented by layering it up according to your liking. This means that I can create the pigment that I want without wiping out most of my lipstick. So excited to try this one out and create looks using this lipstick.




8. CHANEL STYLO YEUX WATERPROOF EYE PENCIL - MAT TAUPE




I had been meaning to buy a brown eye pencil for ages. I love the softness that a brown eye pencil gives to your eye look. Its not too harsh, not too invisible but just right enough to make your look elegant. Also I love that this is a slightly darker shade of brown otherwise we all know the struggle of having even slightest bit of extra melanin. 




9. CHANEL HYDRA BEAUTY MICRO GEL CREME



I have the same level of excitement while buying skin care products as I have for makeup. Buying this was a jackpot. A while ago I had made some purchase at Chanel and I was given a sample of a creme from this range and I’ve been a fan of it then on. I had to buy it as it made my skin feel so soft, hydrated and just nourished. My skin lacks hydration and this product just does the work for me. Not to forget it has the best kind of cooling effect. I would definitely recommend this if you’re ever willing to spend that much. Also just shout out to the sales lady at Chanel she was so humble and gave me so many advices, it was great talking about makeup with her.
