At the unripe age of 19, she stepped into the glittery world of Tinseltown in a movie that thrived more on glitz and glamour and less on substance. Post the release, she was labelled a non-performer to an under-performer. The very next year, she came with a bang with a heart-wrenchingly honest performance in Imtiaz Ali’s Highway opposite the powerhouse performer Randeep Hooda and audiences unanimously exclaimed ‘The Student has grown up’. How true! Less than a year and she upped her acting game by leaps and bounds. With a few unsatisfactory performances in the past including the nowhere-Shandaar ‘Shandaar’ and the predictable and banal to death ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’, she has managed to stay afloat as an ‘actor’. In the fashion department, given her age, she has dressed appropriately and that has caught the eye of the Fashion police. With a few glitches here and there, on average, her dressing sense is fun, youthful and exuberant. It’s none other than the chirpy Alia Bhatt and from her style book, today we are going to pick our best 5 looks that we drooled over. 🙂
1. THE FUN ONE-PIECE- Swaddled in a chic TopShop dress and ASOS brogues, this young lady looked prepossessing during the promotions of her then, impending movie- Shaandaar. The pink lips, nude makeup and understated eye makeup make it picture perfect for she is looking trendy effortlessly.
2. THE CROP TOP LOOK – Teaming up a black crop with a pair of comfy shorts and a black hat, Alia looked the textbook definition of winsome as she attended the press meet of Humpty Sharma ki Dulhaniya. Not to forget that dimple adds the perfect dash of cuteness, doesn’t it? 🙂
3. THE DUNGAREE LOOK AT THE MUSIC LAUNCH- She danced in her usual effervescent self and shutterbugs went into frenzy as she did so at the music launch of Shaandaar. Alia carefully and in fact, smartly opted for ILK overalls by Shikha and Vinita which she teamed up with a dark checked shirt. Soft wavy hair and metallic sneakers from Aldo ensured that brought the house down as she swayed to the tunes of ‘Gulaabo”
4. BRINGING THE LADY OUT WITH THE BOW DRESS- Ringing her 23rd birthday celebrations with panache, Alia opted for a black off-shoulder dress with a huge silver bow on its top. It channelized all her vivaciousness in one go.
5. WHEN SHE STEPPED OUT IN BLUE- Donning a Kanika Goyal outfit with a cool tee, understated heels from Pheddies and a little dramatic makeup, this pretty lass looked drop- dead gorgeous as she stepped out to promote Shaandaar. The movie might be miles away from its title but the look Alia carried was surely one. 🙂
If you follow me on Snapchat (bhumika_t), you must have seen me posting a few images and videos of VanityCube services I tried 2-3 days ago.
I have tried MyGlamm, LocalOye and UrbanClap before, and now finally I tried VanityCube. If you don’t know what vanitycube is, check their website HERE. It is basically a beauty service provider where you can book a range of beauty services to be done anytime, anywhere be it work, home, etc.
Presently VanityCube is available in Mumbai and Delhi only. They have 4-5 different packages which are available at a discounted rate and much more economical and convenient.
I went with the ‘Spoil Me’ package which has Rica wax for full hands, legs and underarms, Basic Manicure and Pedicure, Threading for eyebrows and upper lips and a Lotus Herbals Facial and Face Bleach. The services separately cost Rs.3455/- but this package is available at a discounted price of Rs.2900/-
What I loved about VanityCube:
The attendant Fatima came 10-15 mins before the appointment time.
She got me a small bouquet of roses as this was my first booking with VanityCube services
She got her own disposable spreads, foldable stool, extension cord and all the required things. She even had a disposable gown. Earlier all the services I had tried, they would ask me for newspaper, chair, etc. and don’t even carry a disposable gown.
The same attendant did everything, so there was no time gap or having two attendants for different services.
She was very neat and tidy, was not unnecessarily chatty and quiet good with her work.
I informed her about the water cut from 2-5 pm and she filled the manicure-pedicure tub and whatever water she would need beforehand.
She was not sure of my skin type for facial and got the kits for both skin types.
The massage she gave during manicure-pedicure and facial was very relaxing, she knows her work really well.
What I didn’t like about VanityCube:
Nothing, I loved everything and I guess it’s the first time 😀
I really liked the services and how everything was done, I am sure it might somewhat differ from attendant to attendant. I am glad I got Fatima and she was fabulous.
I went with my nailpaint- Makeup Revolution Heaven’s Above
I would just like to mention that the services do take a long time, so do not go by the 180 mins mentioned, coz it took almost 5 hours for everything, so do it when you have an entire day free to yourself. Or you can always try 2-3 individual services.
I highly recommend VanityCube, it is by far the best from all the beauty services providers I have tried, also recommend going for packages as it’s more economical.
P.S: Services were offered in exchange for an honest review, but that has not affected my review, as per usual.
Have you tried any beauty services provider? What do you think of it?
What is cellulite? Cellulite is dimpled skin popularly known as orange peel occurring mostly on thighs, buttocks and stomach area, every women has cellulite so you don’t need to feel embarrassed about it, its completely normal and natural.

1. Eat healthy : Diet plays an important role, the fat you consume will be stored in your body as cellulite, consuming clean healthy food will help you to stay fit, foods like grains contains fibber which will help you to remove waste and toxins from the intestine also shedding off cellulite stored as fat in your body. Along with this drink plenty of water as consuming water will also remove toxins and excess fat from the body.
2. Workout : Cellulite is a very stubborn fat, you have to understand that it will take time to get rid of it, however to speed it up it’s important to do cardio as often as you can. As cellulite is nothing but stored fat, burning those fat through cardio and leg exercises would be a wise decision.
3. Exfoliate : Exfoliating helps to promote blood circulation and sheds off dead skin cells, to see visible results it’s advised to use a coarse exfoliator before showers every day. If your skin is too sensitive give it one day rest so that your skin is repaired.
4. Massage : Massaging enhances the blood circulation in the body and provide oxygen to the cells, it helps the body to reduce cellulite in its own natural way. You can massage it with grapefruit essential oil, hazelnut essential oil or jojoba oil. Add 3 to 4 drops of the essential oil of your choice to a tablespoon of almond oil and rub and massage into your skin for a hydrated and firmer appearance. Do this every day for best outcomes.
5. Dry brushing : Massage your skin for a minute before you start dry brushing. Use a soft bristled brush, apply few drops of oil on the affected area then brush in small circular motions directed towards the heart until the skin sucks up all of the oil or till your skin turns red. Repeat the procedure every day to see visible results.
6. Use coffee grounds : Caffeine breaks up the fat deposits as you massage into the skin. It also tightens your skin making it firm. Drinking coffee daily will also help to eliminate fat. Prepare a wrap with coffee and olive oil mixture, heat one-half cup of coffee grounds and a little extra-virgin olive oil in the microwave for 20 seconds. Spread the warm mixture on the cellulite and cover it with plastic wrap. Leave it on for 30 minutes, and then rinse it off with Luke warm mixture. Repeat this 3 times a week to see visible results.
7. Anti cellulite cream : There are many creams targeted for cellulite, below is the list of best cellulite creams available.
What do you get when you blend charisma, a feisty attitude, oodles of acting talent, raw sex appeal, glamor, uninhibited self-confidence and a ‘My way or the highway’ approach? Kangana Ranaut. This Himachali lass set her foot in Tinseltown with the blockbuster ‘Gangster’ in the year 2006. A decade down the line and she’s been aptly crowned as the ‘Queen’ of the very same industry that for long pooh-pooed her as an outsider. With an impeccable style sense, she gives all the so-called fashionistas who swaddle themselves only in high-end designer outfits, a run for their money. So, here goes a list of Ms. Ranaut’s top 5 offscreen avatars that caught our fancy 🙂
1. THE AIRPORT LOOK- Dressed in a polka-dotted shirt teamed with a short blazer and denims, Ms. Ranaut steps out to give us a view of this chic and understated attire. Comfort and effortless style characterise this look. Not to forget those aviators give a bad girl tinge to the appearance. Clearly a winner all the way, isn’t it?
2. THE GYM LOOK- With her lustrous tousled locks cascading down her back and a half front-open jacket loosely tucked in the pants, Kangana’s gym look looks badass to say the least. Sneakers make for comfortable footwear when it comes to training hard in the gym and that is exactly what Kangana opts for here. Overall, the look is rugged and drool-worthy. Or is it Kangana’s attitude that makes it stand out? Keep thinking.
3. THE NATIONAL AWARD MOMENT- Eventually, she looks the happiest when the actor in her gets acknowledged. Bagging the coveted and highly esteemed National Award for best Actress in a leading role (Female) for the third time for her flick- Tanu Weds Manu Returns (2015) that defied the Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility and went on entertain more than the prequel, Kangana looked a million bucks at the prestigious ceremony in an icy-hued Georges Chakra dress.
4. THE PRESS CONFERENCE LOOK AT TANISHQ- This curly haired feisty actress attended the press conference of Tanishq. She looked drop-dead gorgeous in a full-sleeved one-piece with nude pumps that complemented her attire well.
5. THE RAMP LOOK- Walking the ramp for Anju Modi on Day 2 of Shree Raj Mahal Jewellers India Couture Week in a heavily embroidered full-sleeved crop top and a matching lehenga. The attire had a golden embroidery. Carrying it off with panache, Kangana stole the show quite literally 🙂
Aishwarya & Sonam at Cannes 2016: Outfits & Makeup
Hey guys,
You all must have seen 100’s of pictures of both Aishwarya Rai and Sonam Kapoor from the Cannes Film Festival 2016. It’s the 15th year Aishwarya Rai was present at Cannes and she was there for all four days while Sonam Kapoor joined later for 2 days. Katrina Kaif was not present at Cannes this year due to her shoot commitments.
You must have seen the Infallible Range Makeup Collection launch for Cannes 2016 HERE, where I also reviewed & swatched the lip glosses.
Aishwarya Rai
Aishwarya’s first look on the red carpet was a Ali Younes Couture golden gown, which she paired with smokey blue eyes and glossy nude lips. The dress was ok, the cape was not flattering and something was not right with the fit around her waist.
She wore a red ruffled gown from Naeem Khan with bold red lips.
Later she donned a Rohit Bal gold and brown ensemble for the Sarabjit screening. She paired it with smokey eyes and nude lips, like the makeup, the dress is quite ok.
The Elie Saab gown was the showstopper! Bold red lips and a winged eyeliner, soft wavy hair, she looked ethereal. The bold lips were achieved using a mix of shades from the L’Oreal Paris LA Lip Palette, I hope they launch it in India soon!
Her last look was a blush pink floral Rami Kadi bardot dress and brown smokey eyes with super bright and bold lilac lips with her hair tied slick back! While I did like the dress, I don’t like the lips at all! Pastel lilac is not her colour, she is fair with green eyes and pastel lilacs will just wash her out, a beautiful deep purple like MAC Recollection or something like that would have looked gorgeous on her!
Sonam Kapoor
Sonam’s first appearance was in Rimzim Dadu black and blue sari. She went with a blue liner, pink cheeks,fuchsia lips and a sleek low bun. I loved the earrings and harness behind! The makeup looked quite fresh and nice, I did not like the sari though, looked like vinyl :/
She later wore a flowy, white Ralph & Russo dress on the red carpet. Straight hair and gold smokey eyes with half brown half bronze liner and pinky nude lips, I guess since her gown was white, she could have gone with pink or a brighter shade. This looked good too, I liked the overall look and how it turned up.
And finally she wore another white Ralph & Russo flowy gown with a floral cape and Bulgari jewellery. A bow shaped sleek bun and bronze pink eyes with a smoked winged liner, highlighted cheeks, fluttery lashes and soft pink lips. This was my favourite look of hers in Cannes 2016.
At the end for the Chopard After party, she wore a gorgeous black Ralph & Russo gown with Chopard jewellery, of course. Again a sleek bun but with bronzed face and bold red lips this time. I loved this look too.

Whose look did you like the most? My favourite has to be Aishwarya’s Elie Saab look.
Summers are full of adventure, beaches and sweat. Sure we all love summer holidays and other stuff but there is something which I hate about summers, The back acne! As summers are sweaty I end up with these crazy acne all over my back and forearms, Thank God I am not the only one facing it, the good news is, it can vanished! Every year in forced to keep a check on the tips given below to keep my back free from acne. Keep reading to know more!
1. Salicylic wash : Salicylic acid is popularly advised by dermatologist for acne and pimple prone skin, it is also know for its deep cleansing and rejuvenation properties, it also provides exfoliation and reduces dark spots caused by acne. Using salicylic acid on your back twice daily can have visible effects.
2. Benzoyl peroxide : This is a another strong ingredient to use on your back acne, as it dries off the skin it’s not recommended to use on your face without your dermatologist advice. If your using a benzoyl peroxide wash let it stay for atleast a minute befor you wash it off. Using a lotion of benzoyl peroxide over your back after the shower will get you faster results.
3. Keep it clean : if you notice back acne mostly occur during summers, sweat is also one of the many reasons for your back acne, shower right after you sweat, after gym or before bed.
4. Retino A : Retino A cream is used for acne and pimple treatment, it is also used for further prevention, you may notice some skin shedding within few days but that’s a normal process as it sheds off the old skin at the same time promotes growth of new skin cells. It also works good for wrinkles, age spots and skin lightening.
5. Don’t re-use worn clothes : Dirty clothes can cause clogged pores and thus causing acne, the best way is to wash your bra and tops after one use, especially during summers when you sweat the most.
6. Apply sunscreen : If your skin has acne scars sun can be your biggest enemy. As sun can make your acne marks last longer. The best way is to wear clothes which covers your acne area. use a oil free suncreen lotion over your back 20min prior of sun exposure. Sunscreen also helps to save your skin from unwanted tan and early signs of ageing.
Editor’s Note: Agree with all these points Shelja, well written. I do get it in summers sometimes.
Hi to all the lovely people out there!!!!! This is my first time writing a beauty blog so do let me know in the comments below whether you find this review helpful or not .I was looking for a good, herbal and economical body wash for daily usage and that is when this product comes into picture which, I bought on one of my online purchases. This product has made me love khadi products even more so; to know more about the product and my opinion on it continue reading.
Product claims: Khadi rose and honey body wash indulges your senses with beautiful soap-free cleansing gel that will leave your skin feeling cleansed, refreshed and soft with a whisper of beautiful rose fragrance.
Directions for use: Apply to wet skin all over the body. Lather and rinse. Use daily if required.
Ingredients: Water, geranium oil, aloe vera, rose centifolia, ananas cosmosus, crocus sativus, azadircta, honey, base qs.
My experience with the product
The product comes in a transparent bottle through which you can see the lovely pink color of the gel. It has a sturdy flip cap that prevents leakage which makes the product extremely travel friendly. The packaging is common to all the khadi body washes in the market. I must say that, I am more of a shower gel person rather than soap and given the price it is a steal. The product has a pleasant smell of roses which dies down within minutes after you come out of the shower that according to me is a major drawback since; I expected the pleasant smell of roses to last a lot longer. The wash lathers very well and only a coin sized amount is required if used it with a loofah, rinsing off isn’t problem as well. Also, the cleansing action of the wash is very good, leaving the skin soft and supple. I personally would recommend using this wash with a loofah as it would make sure that you do not use excess of the wash and will last a lot longer. It has a gel like consistency and in my opinion would be suitable to all skin types. The gel based formulation is neither moisturizing nor drying and you may want to use a moisturizer depending on the climate. I would like to conclude by saying that, if you are looking a good wash for regular usage which is economical then it sure is a great buy ignoring the longevity of the fragrance.
Pros:
Cleanses well
Decently priced
Travel friendly
Great for regular usage
Suitable for all skin types
Easily available (prefer buying it online as you can get some great discounts on this product, which I did)
Natural ingredients
Cons:
The fragrance does not last for a long time
It is not moisturizing so have to use a moisturizer after the bath which in my opinion you should anyways be doing.
Generic packaging
Rating: 4.5/5
Final word:
I would like to recommend this product to all you beauties, since it does its job pretty well without burning a hole in your pocket and would last a long time. I love it so much so that I have already restocked on the product.
Editor’s Note: This sounds quite good Monika, nicely reviewed 🙂 I will definitely try this.

A cute coral off shoulder crop top
A beige bucket bag with metallic gold chain detailing
A stiff brown summer hat
Tropical Cocktail flavour Tang
Gulnare Pumpskin Face Wash 60ml
Floral Gold Headband
Double layered Charm bracelet
I am totally digging off shoulder crop tops these days, and I was so glad when I saw this! Plus the coral colour is so bright and summery, can’t wait to wear it. The bag is pretty amazing too, fabulous quality, quite soft in texture. The gold accents go pretty well with the beige colour. Bucket bags are also IN these days, and this makes a perfect beach bag too. It’s quite spacious and huge, reminds me of my orange bucket bag from StalkBuyLove.
I have never tried the Tropical Cocktail flavour in Tang, so I am looking forward to trying this one. A hat is perfect for summers too, whether on beach or otherwise, a good stylish hat, can take your outfit a notch higher. I am not much into diamante on my accessories, but the stars in the double layered bracelet look quite cute.
The floral headband has to be my favourite, wear it like a proper headband or a little lower like Alia Bhatt in Ladki Beautiful Kar Gayi Chull song, with loose beachy waves for that boho vibe.
I am all about organic skincare and I haven’t tried a Pumpkin face wash yet and nothing from Gulnare skincare, so looking forward to trying this one too.
Book you box HERE, I absolutely recommend them! Since this box, theme and contents are revealed, the price is Rs.1899/-.
