10 ways to Look Good this Party Season

With December end and holidays, everyone is in party mode always. And with lots of Christmas and New Year parties, you sure need to look your best.( For me, my bday too..its this Sunday 😀 )I saw the new Flipkart video on YouTube and was tempted to visit the women’s lifestyle section. (Link to the video: fkrt.it/1huKeax). The song and the tagline is soo perfect ‘When you have everything and still nothing to wear’ So apt ! So us ! 😀

Flipkart has launched a dedicated page for Women’s Lifestyle and this page has over 500 brands, 20,000+ looks and an array of personal use and gifting products to choose from. These include clothes, accessories, footwear, handbags, perfumes, personal grooming products – you can have a look yourself here: http://www.flipkart.com/women

I soo like this idea..a site with everything a girl needs..and its so easy to navigate and find anything you want. I like the categories and bifurcations..I have shopped from Flipkart before and they deliver products super quick too..plus they also have an Android and iOS app for Flipkart..so shopping on the go..

So I thought of..what all does a girl need to look her best this party season..

1. Good Skin : Well, that is the main. With winters setting in and everyone suffering from dry skin, its very important to moisturize and take care of your skin..and hydrate yourself..coz with bad skin, how much ever makeup one layers, one never looks good. So, skin care is must !

2. Bouncy, Shiny Hair: After skin, comes the mane. Well, who does’nt want those sexy, shiny locks that shine through out the party. And just shampooing is not enough. Conditioner is good. You also need deep conditioners and serums this winter. And regular oiling, just for an hour before wash, would work wonders for your hair. Hair care is equally important.

3. Nails: Well manicured and pedicured hand and toe nails..with a sexy red nail paint would steal the show. Is’nt it ? Who does’nt like a glossy shiny red nail paint on oneself ? Makes you feel all glam instantly.

4. Perfect Base: A good foundation,which does not transfer on your tissues and onto the clothes of people you hug, and gives a nice flawless, dewy skin and stays put till you dance away, is a must. And a sexy rosy blush and lots of highlighter 😀

5. Red Lips: Be it glossy or matte, red lips make you feel ultra glam and sexy..they are a statement in itself..and pairing it with your perfect LBD, you are a diva !

6. LBD: A girl can never have enough of LBD’s..trust me..I guess I have around 8-10 myself :p And just check this out. I guess this is LBD heaven. If you don’t have one, then this party season, you surely need one..you just got a reason to shop 😉

7. Heels don’t lie: Matching heels to rock your LBD. Go Metallic, monochrome, contrast, animal print, whatever you want.

8. Make a Statement: A Gold/Bronze statement necklace and cuffs/bracelets look super sexy with a LBD. Or you can even go for something brighter. There are tons of options..but statement necklace or statement earrings and a cuff or a cocktail ring..accessories would complete your outfit..but remember the ‘OR’. This or that..never wear all at once..and end up looking like a mobile jewellery store.

9. Smell so good: How you smell reflects your personality..we all have our favorite perfumes..so spritz some of that and walk through.

10. Hair Free: Of course with the LBD, you are supposed to be hair free..and with the help of epilators and shavers, you need not worry about it.

Thats it..go around and party !

It’s amazing how Flipkart women has over 500 top brands to choose from.I really like the women’s lifestyle section. It’s like everything is just a click away – so easy to search and so easy to order.

IMBB (Indian Makeup and Beauty Blog) Review

IMBB (Indian Makeup and Beauty Blog) Review

About IMBB: Started in 2009 as just a makeup blog, makeupandbeauty.com (a.k.a. IMBB) has today grown into an international makeup, beauty and fashion community. Running three powerful blogs successfully- in India, Dubai and Philippines;- makeupandbeauty.com is already the biggest women’s women focussed blog on the internet with more than 700 writers writing on it.


The founders- Rati and Sanjeev own and manage the blogs with help from Jomol (Chief Editor), Neha (Editor) and and other like minded counterparts in Dubai and Philippines.

They also manage a fashion blog (handled by Rati herself) and fitness blog (handled by Nidhi), both of which offer quality content to readers. They are a source of inspiration to many.(PS: I am one of them.)

I love that every new latest launch gets covered quickly on the blog..and they are constantly innovating with new ideas and things..and do not let boredom creep in, on the blog.

I like the fact that anyone with a pen (or for that matter, a keyboard) gets an opportunity to write and review products. However, the resulting decline in the quality of posts would have been avoided. My humble suggestion would be to tighten the quality filter for third party reviewers. 

I first discovered IMBB in 2010 and ever since have been following the blog, have commented, interacted and seen them expand and grow. Its quite commendable and their hard work shows. They go out of their way to cover brands and swatches..Kudos to Rati, Sanjeev & team for pulling off such a commendable feat. Managing a blog since 3 years, I can vouch for the hard work that goes in.

I have even met Rati at the recent TRESemme event and she is a very warm and sweet person. I would love to meet Sanjeev too once.

One must have stumbled upon IMBB more than once if they have ever googled anything related to makeup or beauty.

I am happy to have got a chance to express my opinion about IMBB.

The Nature’s Co. Red and Green Tea Sunscreen Lotion Review

Uncategorized, , , , , ,
The Nature’s Co. Red and Green Tea Sunscreen Lotion ReviewThis is a review long overdue..and there are lots coming more coming 😀 I am exhausted..what a tiring day..just sorting out stuff..and now I have to review so much 😮 I would love it, if you guys can help me out..see HERE.

What the Company claims: You can bravely face the sun with this all-natural sun protector. Red Tea will shield your skin from harsh UV rays while providing you with essential moisturizing and conditioning while Green Tea has powder anti-oxidants properties.
Massage gently onto your face, neck, hands and other exposed parts of body at least 30 minutes before going out into sun.

MRP: Rs.375/- for 125ml

Ingredients: Ingredients: Red tea extract, Green tea extract, Olive oil, Vitamin – E, Aloe Vera extract, Sesame oil, Grape seed oil

It falls under the Starrize Collection. It comes in a fat tube packaging like all The Nature’s Co. Products.

Has a strong green/red tea smell..I am not a fan :/ Its light yellow in color and has a medium consistency..not too runny like a lotion..takes some time to absorb.

Its a nice natural sunscreen without the added chemicals..coz for higher sun protection, there are loads of chemicals in sunscreens from zinc oxide to what not..and the best thing is no white cast as in most of the sunscreens..but this does not have any SPF or PA mentioned sadly..so cannot say a fool proof way of protection from sun….but if you are someone who sweat out with sunscreen or do not like using one, you can try this..

Pros:

1. All Natural sunscreen without the chemicals.
2. No whitish cast.
3. Does not sweat out.
4. Tube packaging..easy to use.
5. Qty is good enough for the price.

Cons:

1. No SPF or PA protection mentioned.
2. Would not be safe for days when you are going to be under the sun for longer hours.

Overall I would say its a nice sunscreen for daily use..but not for long sun exposure..if you are someone who is used to a higher SPF sunscreen, you can skip this..but if you someone who do not like sunscreens or they sweat you out, you should surely try this..

Rating:

Quality: 3.5/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Would I buy it again : Maybe

Red Carpet Tips and Tricks

Red Carpet Tips and Tricks

Namrata Soni has a reputation for transforming A-list actors into red carpet stunners. Her signature look of fresh dewy skin and pretty pink pouts has earned her many fans in the tinsel town including the likes of Sonam Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha and Anushka Sharma and even an IIFA award. She shares her top five tips and tricks to rock a red carpet appearance like a Bollywood pro.

Red Pout: “Nothing is more red carpet appropriate than a red pout,” says Soni. “Choose a red lipstick that suits your skin tone and fill in only after defining your lips with a red liner. Thin lips need not worry. Create an illusion of fuller lips with some high shine gloss. Swipe two coats in the center of the bottom and the upper lip for a bee-stung effect.”

Camera-ready: “Strategic placement of highlighter is very important when you know that camera flash will be attacking you from every angle. Dust an iridescent gold or pearl coloured highlighter on your cheekbones, on the bridge of your nose and on the chin to capture light perfectly and use your facial contours to full advantage. For an all-over gorgeous sheen, add powder bronzer to baby oil and smooth over exposed skin.”

Flawless Face: “Flash can be very unforgiving and the biggest mistake you can commit is skipping the foundation altogether and applying only concealer on your problem spots. Foundation is important even if you have great skin and few minor flaws. It creates an even base for you to work on and camouflage flaws to perfection.”

Fake Drama: “False eyelashes create drama and are a must for any red carpet look. Whether you’re rocking a red lip or a bright pop pout, false lashes is all you need to add oomph and balance your look. Cut and customize false lashes to your lash line and don’t forget to apply liner to fill in any gaps and blend the real and false lashes seamlessly. Apply two coats of volumising mascara and you’re ready to flutter your eyes for the shutterbugs.”

So Slick: “If you don’t have enough time for a wash and blow-dry, use this secret tip that I swear by to transform a bad hair day into glamorously, swishy locks. Smooth over some MorocccanOil for shine and tame flyways and pull hair into a side ponytail or a low, tight knot. These sleek and sophisticated hairstyles make any outfit look put together and takes my celebrity clients from a shoot to stardom in no time.”

So were these tips helpful ? I love and religiously follow using highlighters and gloss at the centre..

Do you use these tips and tricks ??
