The Body Shop Moringa Body Yogurt | Review

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...

How I Style My Clothes In General

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 | Coconut Vanilla Face and Body Moisturiser Review

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...

T A T C H I | Neem & Basil Acne Control Face Pack + Haritaki Hairfall Control 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...

10 Best places to shop makeup and skin care in Thailand | Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket

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 ...

Flawless Organics Products Review | Instagram Brand | Face Mask & Face Scrub

Flawless organics is a handmade skincare Instagram brand which is Tamil Nadu based. But they do ship throughout India. They were sweet enough to send me some products from review but all opinions will be my own. I received A Skin Softening and Brightening face mask, De-tan Face mask, Chocolate Body Scrub and Face Scrub.  You can buy them from:  https://www.instagram.com/flawless_organic_products/ They all retail for Rs.300 for about 50-100g of product. I think it's absolutely worth it because you only need a little product and the ingredients used are amazing.  Skin Softening and Brightening Face Pack: This face pack has hands down been my favourite ever since I received it. They recommend you to mix the mask with curd but I also tried it once with water but I prefer it was curd because that way it takes a little more time to dry and also I love how curd feels on my skin in general, so yes.  This product DOES brighten your skin (I...

Ryaal USA Products Review | Onion Oil, Black Mess & GrapeFruit Smoothie!

I've already reviewed the Vitamin C serum and Mr. Beans scrub in my youtube, CLICK HERE  to watch it! Hey guys, I'm going to be reviewing a couple of products from Ryaal USA today! They're available on amazon you can buy them from, 1.  GrapeFruit Smoothie Moisturizer 2.  Black Mess Face Mask 3.  Onion Oil ONION OIL REVIEW:   Starting with the Onion Oil which is my most favourite from the lot. It retails for Rs.599 (which yes, I think is super expensive for a hair oil) You get about 200 ml of product which is a lot considering the fact that you need to use very little amount of the product! I use it mostly on my scalp and leave it for 2-3 hours and then rinse it off with shampoo. It contains red onion, sandalwood and rose oil as the key ingredients. It claims to treat dandruff, hair fall and accelerate new hair growth which I surely agree to. I don't have dandruff as such, but I do have hair fall now on then and I have definitely noticed...

The product claims: A N atural Anti inflammatory,  Much suited for sensitive skin,  Helps in reducing pores and  Gives fresh look!  I've been using this face wash for the past month and absolutely been loving it!  It's got a very mild, yet a refreshing fragrance.  It's got a gel like consistency which consists on small leaf like particles that don't disturb your skin in any way.  It's super gentle on the skin and doesn't lather like other face washes because these are completely handmade with chemical free products.  It doesn't remove makeup but it lea...

Bubble Farm Anti-Bacterial Face and Body Pack | Review

I adore this handmade skin care brand. I have a couple of products from their line which I've reviewed on my youtube as well as my blog. But today I have another product from them, that I got my hands on a couple of weeks back. The Anti Bacterial Face Pack retails for Rs. 350 for approx. 200 gm of product. This face pack was suggested by bubble farm themselves because I have acne prone skin. It contains chick pea flour, red sandalwood powder, neem and tulsi which is great for controlling oils and to prevent acne. It has a really pleasant Ayurvedic smell that will calm your senses instantly. I used it for a couple of times now and It surely has a good effect on my skin. I would suggest you use this only once a week, because the ingredients used work really well and you don't want to over do it. I like to add a few drops of tea tree oil and aloe gel with some water to make it into a good paste. I have some kind of weird bumps on my arms (post shaving sensi...
