I went to Thailand a couple of months ago and I happened to visit the Innisfree store so I picked up a couple of products. The Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Color Clay Mask has about 7 variants each focusing on a particular use. I wanted to try out the 'calming' variant because that's something I don't have in my skin care regime. Apart from sheet masks all that I own are deep cleansing face packs which tend to make my skin tad bit dry.  This retails for Rs. 700 for 70ml. You can get it from Nykaa, Amazon or directly in the Innisfree store. It's got a very smooth texture and glides on your skin. It instantly cools your face and is the best for irritated skin. It tightens your pores upto an extent. I like using this on days when my skin feels really itchy due to the weather or just extreme dryness. I wash my face after 10 to 15 mins and I don't really get the urge to use a moisturiser. The color is so pleasing, it's a beautiful lavender an...

The Body Shop has always been my favourite when it comes to body lotions. A couple of months back they had launched the Body Yogurts and I was super tempted to give them a try.  I tried out the other variants before purchasing the Moringa one. I already have a body lotion in the Almond variant and British Rose as a body wash and I'm not a big fan of strawberries so I decided to choose Moringa.  It retails for Rs. 845 for 200 ml of product.  It's quite a good sized tub but I'm sure there are better body lotions out in the market at better prices but the formula of this product is what pushed me to buy one for myself. It feels like aloe vera gel but just better. It gets absorbed into your skin like a dream. The moisture is locked definitely for the entire day and so is the fragrance. I love how I'm comfortable applying this whatever the weather is in the morning. It's super light weight and non greasy. Dry or oily skin, you're going to love this alth...

If you know me in person, you would already know that I buy one piece of clothing and match it with 100 different accessories, contrast pant/top and make the whole look completely different. This equally goes for Indian Traditional outfits as well (I will leave some examples down below) So I got these striped pants while I did some street shopping in Thailand a couple of months back. I've always loved printed pants, leggings, palazzos so I definitely had to purchase this one the moment I saw it! Stripes with Solids: The best way to rock any printed piece of clothing is to compliment it with another solid colour. I chose to pair the pants with a dark green turtle neck tee, because why not? Accessorised it with some yellow earrings that I own since I was 8 or something.  I tucked in the tee, but thats totally up to you. If you're not comfortable, then just let it out, it's no biggie. The other time I wore these yellow earrings in a completely contrast outfit w...

Glam Aroma is a home made natural skin and hair care brand available in India. They have a wide range of products from serums to body butters and what not! They were generous enough to send me this moisturiser for reviewing in exchange for an honest review. First up, I own a lot of body moisturisers which includes from a couple of high end brands. I was sceptical about how I was going to use this one when I have so many already in stock. But guess what happened? Ever since I got this product, I haven't touched my other moisturisers, I'm not kidding. The moisturiser claims that its super light and non greasy which gives long lasting hydration and I agree 100% with that. I have oily skin, mind you, so only a gel type moisturiser makes my skin look and feel happy. The consistency of this is thick and not the runny lotion types but doesn't clog my pores, makes me sweat or makes my skin look greasy. The key ingredients are water, virgin coconut oil, grape seed oil...

Tatchi Herbals is an Instagram based handmade skin care brand that my mother came across in one of the pop-up events that took place a couple of months back in Chennai. She had got me the Haritaki Hairfall Control Oil and in return they had also given her a sample of the neem and basil face pack. That sample was so generous it lasted me for 7-8 uses. I loved how it made my skin look and hence I ended up buying the full size product a couple of days ago. The Neem & Basil Pack retails for Rs. 150 for 50gm of product and the Hair Oil retails for Rs. 180 for 100ml of product. You can buy the products from:  CLICK HERE! Neem & Basil Acne Control Face Pack: The colour of this face pack makes me so calm, it's a beautiful mauve shade and I haven't felt the appearance of any face pack make me feel this way. Wow I sound romantic. The packaging of this product is so cute and travel friendly. Its a paper version of a zip lock cover, so its super airtight too. I love us...

I went to Thailand recently (follow me on  INSTAGRAM  to know more) and I did a lot of homework on choosing the places to shop because thats the main reason we chose Thailand for this vacation! I read many blogs and one such blog was  https://thailand.tripcanvas.co/bangkok/affordable-makeup-skincare-brands/ . This article mainly focused only on places to shop in Bangkok but I have discovered some more in Pattaya and Phuket too! 1.FAMILY MART The first place I visited in Pattaya was Family Mart. Family Mart is just everywhere in Thailand, its like a mini supermarket and has everything you need under one roof (duh)! They have a section for skincare and makeup (mostly skin care) where you get face masks, black head masks (the one by Cathy Doll is supposed to be really good), serums, mud packs etc. in the form of sachets and they're super reasonably priced! You get sachets starting from 10-60 bhat. Available: Throughout thailand and even in Bangkok Airport ...
