Hey Girls

Long time no see. I don’t really write on my blog much because I am so busy with work lately and blogging for now has taken a back seat. If you miss me you should follow me on Instagram, I am relatively more active there and post a lot more regular. You get a good glimpse into my makeup look like 🙂 Today I am reviewing the makeup brush that Anamika from WisheShe created. It is so great to see Indian bloggers and youtubers venture more into makeup products and I wish all of them the very best. Read on to know more about this brush.

Girls generally take skincare and hair care very seriously. But when it comes to brides-to-be, bridal beauty planning takes on a whole new level. If you too are getting married this year and feeling a bit overwhelmed with all that you have to do fret not. First, book your bridal makeup artist for your wedding. And then, get prepared with our checklist to ensure you look and feel fabulous at your nuptials.

SKIN

• It might sound clichéd but this is the first step to any good beauty routine. Drink plenty of water!
• Avoid junk / fried food and include healthy items in your diet. You could also start having green tea.
• CTMS routine – Start a cleansing, toning, moisturizing and sunscreen (like Dermalogica SPF 50) routine and stick to it. At night, replace sunscreen with a good eye cream / night cream. Beauty oils also do wonders for the skin.
• Go to a salon you trust for facials or Clean ups according to your skin type. Do this in intervals of 30-45 days. If you don’t have time to visit a salon, try multi-masking at home. It means using different masks on different areas of your face simultaneously. For example, if your T-zone is oily and the rest of your face isn’t – apply a volcanic mask on the T-zone, a soothing one under the eyes and a hydrating one everywhere else.
• While you pamper your facial skin, don’t forget the rest of your body. 2 months prior to the big day, invest in a body scrub or body polishing treatment.
• Schedule your waxing + eyebrow threading appointments a couple of days prior to the wedding.

HAIR

• Get your locks trimmed every few months to avoid split ends.
• Once a week, massage your hair with oil. Argan oil and Coconut oil are known to be beneficial. If you prefer using organic, chemical free products – you can go for Pahadi Local’s cold pressed hair oils in Apricot or Walnut.
• Limit your use of heat styling tools. If you do use them, apply a heat protection spray/mist. BBlunt and Toni&Guy have some good ones.
• Schedule salon treatments like conditioning, hair spas or even keratin treatments if you think your hair needs it. Check out the Moroccan Oil hair spa treatment or invest in a hair mask.

NAILS

• Nail health also depends on what you eat. More reasons to start eating nutritious food.
• Your hands (thus your nails) are going to be photographed a lot! Make sure you start using a hydrating hand cream and cuticle oil 2-3 months before the wedding. Schedule a manicure + pedicure a couple of days before the big day. You can opt for a gel manicure that lasts longer.
• Have the salon professional apply a base coat first (to prevent staining of nails) and a top coat at the end (for a shiny finish and less chipping).

Hey Girls

I’m back with another Colourpop review wooo wooo 😀 My love for this brand is never ending, I have almost stopped buying any MAC makeup products ever since I have discovered Colourpop. I just love it so much. If you want to see my old reviews on Colourpop products then just type colourpop in the search brand and they should come up. I have reviewed another Colourpop Ultra Metallic lip in the past which was more of a plum shade (Review here). The Ultra metallic lip from Colourpop was liked by some and hated by others. I am in the like category as I have never had any problems with mine. Most people had problems with the wand not picking up enough product but I dont feel that way honestly. Read on to know more about it 🙂

Hey Guys

Today’s post is a little bit different than my usual ones. I’m sure you all must have heard about different types of cleanses that you can do to rid your body of any free radicals and toxins. We are living in a world where it has become quite hard to resist fast food and other such not so good substances. Cleanses are specific kind of diets aimed at making your body let go of anything bad that has accumulated over a while. I remember discovering the brand Raw Pressery’s cleanses a few months ago. Back then they were only in Mumbai and Delhi and I was kind of disappointed that I could not try it out. Recently I found out through Instagram that Raw Pressery are now available in Chandigarh as well. I was quite excited and almost placed an order when they were kind enough to send me their one day cleanse for trying out. If you want to know my experience with it, then read on 🙂

Price- 1500/- for a one day cleanse which consists of 6 juices

I will show the colours Cherry Wine, Deep Pink and Choco Bite today. Read on to know what I think of these 🙂

Hey girls

I’m gonna review the Kat Von D liquid lipstick in Lolita today. I have always wanted to try Kat Von D lipsticks because I have mostly read good reviews about them. I don’t know what I would do without liquid lipsticks really. I honestly can’t believe I didn’t try them sooner. Moving on to today’s lipstick review the shade Lolita from the KVD range is a colour I always wanted to try. I also looked for a dupe which is quite close as well but still couldn’t do without the Lolita shade. The dupe is NYX Liquid Suede lipstick in Soft Spoken which I have reviewed here. There will be a comparison swatch at the bottom of the post.

Price – $20

Hey girls

The colourpop Ultra fan is back with another Colourpop review. I’m sorry, I can’t help it, I am just addicted. Seeing the price colourpop retails at, I just want to buy everything they have. I was just going through my Colourpop stash and went ‘Oh I have this one too. Oh this as well’. I have built a collection of it and sometimes just tend to forget which colours I have. But so far I just have one Ultra Metalic lipstick because they were not a big hit with Nikkie Tutorials so I was a little skeptical trying it out. Read on to know what I think about it 🙂

Price – $6

Availability – www.colourpop.com (starting next week they will be shipping free worldwide over $50), various Instagram pages

Hey lovelies

I’m reviewing my first Colourpop Ultra Satin lip. I dont know why I kept putting off trying the Ultra Satin range. It’s a non drying, more comfortable version of the Ultra Matte lips from Colourpop. Its not transfer resistant but still stays on long. I wanted a lighter colour like Echo Park but that was out of stock so I went for Alyssa instead. Alyssa is a collection by Kathleen Lights in collaboration with Colourpop. She is such a cute Youtuber and I love watching her videos. Read on to know more about this one 🙂

Price – $6

Availability – www.colourpop.com, shopyouraddiction Insta page, www.beautytales.co.in which is also an Insta page but also has a website
