Hair Spa

Guest Post by Chand


Do it yourself: Hair Spa Therapy
Hair Spa is the treatment that is supposedly capable of making your hair beautiful, lustrous and healthy.
This treatment is meant to condition your scalp. Think of it as a relaxing experience for your tired, stressed and worn out hair, much like that for your body when going to a spa. It helps to manage from everyday pollution, dry wind, blow-drying, etc.


Rosey Cheeks: MAC Cremeblend Posey it is

Hey people,

How is everyone doing?? A new week, a new day, and new things to be accomplished. Today am feeling a bit philosophically happy / optimistic. Life turns up surprises for you when you have just given up all hope. I for one have experienced it a lot. Once, I thought of giving up on one of favorite activities. Same day, things happened which showed me that the tasks done by me are appreciated and I must continue. The favorite activity I am talking about is BLOGGING (shock!!!). But now I have decide that I will never ever give up on BLOGGING, which has provided me a platform to share my thoughts and got me in contact with so many like minded people.

Enough philosophy for the week, I guess. Coming to the product under review today, it’s MAC Cremeblend Blush in Posey. This is my current favorite blush.

Himalaya Baby Powder Review

Guest Post by Chand


Himalaya Baby Powder Review

Johnson baby soap and powder has been used for my daughter from the day she was born. Since, Johnson baby products were included in my maternity package from the hospital I delivered, I had not given much of a thought on other baby products brand.

One fine day (within a month), my daughter received Himalaya baby products as a gift. I opened the powder and till date (my daughter is 1 year now) I have been using Himalaya baby powder for my daughter. Frankly speaking, I use it for my self also. Johnson powder is still half lying.

Maybelline Colorsensational in Windsor Rose: review and swatches

Hello people,

What a lovely day!!! As we bid goodbye tio the winters here in north, I am feeling a bit nostalgic today about my school days. When I was a kid the only beauty essential women used in India, seemed to be a maroon / red lipstick. It was considered to be the epitome of beauty. Even the hollywood divas of yesteryears sported this with elegance and panache.

It's that time of the week again. This week I have Lakme true Wear Ruby Red on my nails.

Vedic Line Bio Under Eye Gel with SPF Review

Hello People,

How are you doing today. Today am in a bit of contemplative mood, so please bear. Life and it's little complications!!! When everything around you is going fine, you feel blessed and happy, suddenly something would come up which would take it all away from you. You again find yourself torn between your family and career, more so if you have a child. Can't just leave the child to suffer for your job!!! Hmmm....

So the point I am trying to bring home is do what you feel is the best for you and your family and leave the rest to GOD. Something which I discovered while using this eye gel, which I am reviewing today. This eye gel was a part of the haul (shown here).

Lotus Herbals Kajal Review, Swatch

Guest Post by Chand

Lotus Herbals Kajal Review, Swatch


Lotus Herbals Kajal is an herbal composition. The kajal comes in conical form in a twist up packaging. The pointed conical product helps in easy application of kajal to the water line. The cap is very small and transparent. The cap is really bothersome. It tends to fall off in my vanity and the Kajal is in a mess.



Omved Daily Body Moisturizer

Hello People,

I have never before shared my love of natural products with you guys. The deal is I love natural products as I feel the lesser the ingredients the better they are for the environment and ourselves. Forest Essentials happened to be one of my favorite brands in skin care till we drifted apart 'cause of the new brands coming up on the horizon. But, I promised to return after sampling the forbidden fruit (i.e. all the new products in the market).

Before long, I found an interesting brand Omved promising the goodness and essence of Ayurveda in the blisscovered Januray box 2012 (shown here). Loved it to the core!!

Recently, I got a chance to sample some more products, one of which happens to be this wonderful and fabulous body moisturizer.

Nails of the Week: French Manicure with Chambor

Hey all,

Yay half teh week is over!!! Weekend is only two days down the line. Do you have any plans over the weekend?? I for one am trying out Russian salad and Sev Puri recipe for the first time at home. Would share with you all how it turned out!!!

Coming now to the nails of the week. This week I decided to do a French manicure. I have been fascinated by this concept since my college days, but couldn’t figure out the big deal about it. Mostly people suggested that this was for making your nails stringer, and since I had preety tough nails, I thought that it was not for me. Until recently, my nails started showing signs of brittleness.

Love is in the air with L'occitane Peony Intense EDT Roll-on Review

Hey beautiful people,

Wishing you all a very happy valentine's day. For me personally, each and every day is a Valentines day. I am thankful to have a supportive, caring, and honest hubby. He was my first valentine ever. Even though after becoming parents, we have less personal moments and more family moments he has never let me feel apart. He had in fact made me realise the true meaning of togetherness.

OK, coming back to today's scent, which personifies the tag line "LOVE IS IN T?HE AIR" for me. It's L'occitane Peony Intense EDT Roll-on.

Happy Valentine's Day


CELEBRATE THE DAY OF LOVE with your LOVED ONES !!!

Take care...

Inglot Lip Paint 63 Review and Swatches


Hello Girlzz,
Hope all of you are enjoying your weekend. With the sales almost subsiding, I am planning to do some last minute sale shopping.

So, today am going to review a very unique product from Inglot, their lip paints, which I feel are essentially lipsticks in a semi-solid form. The shade color number I have is 63 (also shown here). I have already reviewed the lip duo here, which combines lip paint with a gloss.

Vedic Line Methi Hair Pack - Color Pro Review

Hey people,

Today my review is about hair care. Though, I don't fancy colouring my hair because of the chemicals used in hair colours, I don't mind using herbal solutions to the problem. Henna, I hear is good but winters but I have never ventured in that territory as I find it too time-consuming and messy.

Himalaya Baby Wipes Review


Guest Post by Chand

Hello all,
Himalaya Baby Wipes, another favorite baby product.

Forest Essentials Brahmi Hair Oil Review

Hey friends,

Hope all of you are doing fine.  Saw the Zee cine awards Sunday night. Though it had may enticing acts and performances, I felt kind of overwhelmed by the thought that why are there so many film awards now? Frankly speaking, these awards don’t interest me as much as they used to when I was a kid. The main reason I would think is that there are so many of these awards on TV these days, that I just loose focus. Earlier there was just Filmfare and we used to cherish watching the annual event every year. Second, would be the advertisements, which make me loose focus of what was happening before the break came. So, now I am mostly pretending to be watching the show while the mind goes away in some other direction. Best is my hubby who works on the laptop while watching the awards (Weird right!!!)
Ok enough bantering for now. Today, I will be discussing about another favorite product from the blisscovered January box 2012. It is the Forest Essential Brahmi Hair Oil. Though, I found it to be least interesting when I opened my box, it has slowly found crawled into my heart.  So, after using it diligently for past two weeks I am ready to share the review with you people today.

Lancome Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate Review

Hello beautiful ladies,

How was your weekend. Mine was fun. Went out enjoying the last few days of SALE in Delhi malls and bought some exciting stuff for an upcoming family wedding. Saw two movies over  the weekend as well "the nanny diaries" and "the back-up plan". Loved both of them. I love such cute rom-coms.

Enough said!! Back to business. I am sharing my experience on the Lancome Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate with you guys today. You may remember that I got this in the January Box from blisscovered (shown here).

I got a 5ml packaging of this serum which retails at INR 4500 for 45 ml of the product. Some calculations later, I deciphered the cost of the sample to be INR 500.

Fresh Ones Baby Wipes Review

Guest Post by Chand

Hi all…………another wet tissues to be considered. Fresh Ones Baby Wipes, a product of Twainwala Personal Care Products Pvt. Ltd.


Inglot Lip Duo # 26: Awesome Twosome???

Writing with a cute little baby jumping around you trying to type in a few words is quiet like a Mission Impossible. As, I try to type this post with my son trying to snatch away the laptop from me, I realize how tough it is for the MI team?

Now that I call my husband to my rescue, I realize how a team (even if it is two people) is important, necessary, and rescues you from tight spots (always). Just like the lipgloss-lippaint lip duos from INGLOT. Easily stashable into the purse for a night out, party, or even office these lip duo's come in a variety of colours to match your mood and occasion.

Good Things come in Small Packages: Does it hold true for L'occitane green tea solid perfume

Hey beauties,

Today I am going to review one of my favorite day wear perfumes. Never imagined on earth that perfumes could be solid also. One trip to L'occitane India store in DLF Promenade opened my eyes to a world of innovative simplicity. They have perfumes in various textures, shapes and sizes. And there I was thinking that perfumes were meant to be sprayed only. They have roll-on perfumes also (never seen those).

Biotique Fresh Texture Shampoo & Conditioner with Color - Bio Henna Leaf Review

Hello People,

Today I am reviewing one of my favourite shampoos from Biotique (shown here). Although not my holy grail shampoo, it is sure a must have for me always.

The shampoo I am talking about it Bio Henna Leaf shampoo from Biotique. I started using this around 3-4 years ago, when I noticed a single grey strand in my hair. Now, I am always on the lookout for herbal products, and wanted a hair shampoo with henna, so that I wouldn't have to colour my hair ever. So, I tried Lush reincarnate also, but solid shampoos I found were not my cup of tea, so decided to look for more such products. Then, I came across this during my visit to the local chemist and mention of henna as the main ingredient made me buy this ASAP.

Since that day, I have been buying this and alternating this with other shampoos as I feel using this alone would dry out my hair big time. So, I would call this my staple but not my HG shampoo. This time I got this from Urbantouch for INR 99 (120 ml of product).
