Blow drying and ironing ones hair is the look this festival. So let go of artificial ironing that exposes hair to unnecessary heat and damage, go ‘Steampoding’ instead.

With the help of the SteamPod – the most advanced straightening tool in the world – you can go from curly to straight, or create beautiful, natural curls in a lesser time while treating your hair. Whether long or short nothing suits traditional attire like the naturally flowing hair. As you get ready for the festivities hair, get the curls, waves or straightened hair with one simple hair ritual at your salon – Steampoding.
Steam Pod Iron
The possibilities offered by this multi-functional salon tool are impressive. It delivers a continuous stream of pressurized steam from an in-built steam generator that combines heat and steam to improve the frizz discipline better than the conventional straightener whilst making the hair shinier, more supple with natural movement. With Steampod, treat your hair as you style. An easy and safer alternative to ironing, curling and blow dry’s the steam combined with the Loreal Professionnel Steampod smoothing cream enriched with Pro-Keratin, ceramides and cationic agents nourishes the hair for an amazing result. The Steampod concept, with its 8 patents is a true technological breakthrough and is designed around one key element- Steam.
The result of Steampod is exceptional- it styles perfectly and provides exceptional shine making it look healthier than ever. The iron is so effective that each hair strand has to be passed through it only once to get perfectly styled hair with natural movement. It’s a big time saver for hair stylist’s and clients alike. Steam Pod has a technical prowess to achieve ultimate results for sublime hair. With high technology anodized floating plates that provide pressure on the strands and five temperature settings depending on hair sensitivity and on the desired style, Steam Pod is every hair stylists delight.
How does this work?
Hair is permeable to steam. The water breaks weak bonds and makes it soft and re-shapable. Hair gets reprogrammed for styling when its realigned by the comb and the floating plates. The heat of the plates dries the hair as the water vaporises and the weak bonds of the hair are restored. A detachable comb allows the stylist to separate/ detangle strands before application. Steam pod is also equipped with a water demineralization system for steam of unrivalled purity.
The Steam Pod Smoothing Cream: This steam activated smoothing and repairing cream is enriched with Pro-Keratin, ceramides and cationic agents that help rebuild fibers and strengthen inter-cellular cement to offer optimal protection against damages from heat. This product is highly recommended to be used on towel dried hair before every Steampod service.

Skin looks radiant and glowy only when treated from within. Vichy Bi-WHITE Med Deep Corrective Whitening Essence is just the perfect option one should opt for.
Skin whitening expertise has only focused on the outermost layer of the skin –the epidermis- for the longest time, but recent findings have now clarified that fibroblasts altered by the sun and ageing induce overproduction of melanin which is deep seated into the dermis. This overload of melanin causes pigmentary ageing, severe dark spots and dull skin. To combat this problem, VICHY Laboratoires offers the revolutionary Bi-WHITE Med Deep Corrective Whitening Essence that targets the deeper roots of melanin and inductive melanin agents such as inflammatory mediators yield by UVs, pollution and stress to control pigmentation.
The Vichy Bi-WHITE Med Deep Corrective Whitening Essence is a skin lightening breakthrough with its CERAMIDE WHITE™ + LHA to act in every single layer of the epidermis and DRM-WHITETM Technology to target the dermis. Optimally concentrated Ceramide White™ de-pigment cells in every single layer of the epidermis by acting at the root of melanin production.
Vichy Bi-WHITE Med Deep Corrective Whitening Essence has proven guaranteed efficacy on the following problem areas:
· Dark spots
· Dullness
· Yellowish skin tone
· Irregular skin texture
The essence shows a drastic improvement in the skin’s overall appearance by acting on dark spots, dull skin and skin’s quality. The product has clinically proven correction of dark spots, it is free of parabens and is proven suitable for Asian sensitive skin and is enriched with the Vichy Thermal Spa Water. Bi-WHITE Med Deep Corrective Whitening Essence is Hypoallergenic therefore it does not cause breakouts.
100% women confirmed that regular use of Bi-WHITE Med Deep Corrective Whitening Essence gives:
· Visible whitening effect
· More even complexion
· More radiant skin tone
· Reduction of skin dullness
No one goes deeper than Vichy’s Bi-WHITE Med Deep Corrective Whitening Essence to unveil flawless luminosity of the skin from within!

Body Shop Lily Cole Collection Eyeliner, Hi Shine Lip Treatment Review, Swatches
I had shared about the Body Shop Lily Cole Collection HERE..reviewing the liquid eyeliner and Hi Shine Lip Treatment today..and the two way mirror..
Lily Cole – Hi Shine Lip Treatment
What the Company claims: You can never have too much lip gloss, especially when it’s as super-glossy and super-delicious as this. Our wet-look gloss gives maximum shine and has a sweet flavour too. They’re limited edition so don’t miss out. Catch them while you can.
High gloss Moisturising Dermatologically tested Sweet flavour Limited edition
MRP: Rs. 400/- for 6ml
Shades Available are Go Pink, Go Naked, Go Wild and Go Play
I am reviewing Go Play which is a peachy nude shade..these are transparent glosses with shimmer..with just a hint of color..these would not cover pigmented lips..
Has a sweet fruity smell which I like..and is little sticky in texture..which actually makes it long staying..these are quite moisturising as claimed and high on shine too ! More so for topping up lipsticks if you like glossy, shiny pout..
It has a built in slanted applicator which makes it easy to apply..and is quite travel friendly too..the only issue would be removing the product at the end..
Lily Cole Collection Liquid Eyeliner 20 Ink Up Violet
What the Company claims: Our liquid eyeliner goes violet. Easy to control, the felt-tipped applicator puts colour exactly where you want it.It’s limited edition so don’t miss out. Catch it while you can.
Easy to apply Smudge-resistant Suitable for contact-lens wearers Ophthalmologically tested Dermatologically tested Limited edition
MRP: Rs.795/- for 3ml
Its a felt tip liquid eyeliner..the felt tip makes it easy to control and use..dries to a semi matte finish..it sure is smudge proof and stays put the whole day..
Ink Up Violet is a true bluish violet shade..though I like the shade, it sure is pretty expensive for a liquid eyeliner..of 3ml qty !
Here are the swatches..
The two way pink mirror is quite cute. Great for grooming on the go. Two mirrors – one magnifies. A perfect handy mirror for your bag. Surely recommend it..
MRP: Rs. 595/-
What did you like ? Have you tried anything from the Lily Cole Collection ?

Color pigments offer superior coverage. Blends effortlessly for a soft, natural – looking, even – toned result
Expert Tip Start by applying foundation down the center of your face first.Use just a small amount and blend it in thoroughly.Layer more if necessary to achieve the coverage you want.
MRP: Rs. 525/- for 18g
Ingredients:
Shades Available:
Classic Ivory Light 2
Nude Light 4
Sandy Beige Medium 1
Pure Beige Medium 2
Honey Beige Medium 4
I have the Honey Beige Medium 4 which I guess is the darkest of the shades available in India..Nude Light or Sandy Beige Medium would have been a better match..but all the shades in this range have an orangey undertone :/
This is probably their first launch and is available here from a long time..it comes in a jar packaging..a little bigger than the Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush which was launched alongwith..
Its mousse like in texture..but settles to a dry powdery finish on the skin..very little qty is to be used and blended well..if you try to layer this or use more qty, it would give a cakey look…
It gives medium coverage..and is good for those who need minimal coverage..or are ok with less coverage for everyday wear…stays well for 5-6 hours.
See the deep orangey undertone..
Pros:
1. Just a little qty is needed.
2. Feels very light on the skin.
3. Can be easily used with fingers..no brush, etc needed.
4. Travel friendly..but its a glass jar..so one has to be a little careful though.
5. Economical..and a lot of qty is offered.
6. 5 shades to choose from.
7. Stays for 5-6 hours.
Cons:
1. If layered, would look cakey and patchy.
2. Settles in fine lines and pores.
3. May look powdery on dry skin.
4. All shades have orangey undertones.
5. Unhygienic jar packaging.
Overall I have mixed views for this..not very happy with this one..I love the Dream Liquid Foundation much much more..Would recommend this if you are oily skin and need less coverage and find a good shade match..
Rating:
Quality: 3/5 Value for money: 3.5/5 Availability: 3.75/5
Overall Rating: 3.25/5
Would I buy it again: No..its not for me..
Have you tried the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation ?
What the Company claims: Except that this nail polish is available in different trendy colors, there are more details:
Gives a long lasting shine Prevents drying nails and breakage
Protects dehydrated and rough nails – Enriched with vitamins and keratin to counteract dehydration – Gives a beautiful shine – Color depending on number of layers – Available in different colors: choose whether you go for trendy or elegant nails – Dries quickly
MRP: 4.5 Euros for 13ml (Approx Rs. 300/-)
The shade PK212 is called Plum Milk..
Skinfood has tons of shades to shades to choose from..and apart from Nail Vita, they have other ranges too..
I love the shade..it is cool toned baby pink..but very sheer..needs 2-3 coats for it to show up properly..and takes some time to dry too if the coats are layered.
But it stays for 4-5 days without chipping and later too with some minor chipping stayed for around 10 days..
Gives a glossy finish..and the brush is easy to use too..and comes off easily without any staining or drying..
It has vitamins and keratin to protect the nails and prevent breakage..I am not sure of that..but nails surely felt better and not even drier..
And at 300, 13ml is a very good qty too..only issue being it is not available here 🙁
Regardless of the scale of the wedding, the star couples, especially the brides of Bollywood, have never failed to wow us. Here’s a look at the beautiful ladies in their wedding couture.
1. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan:
Aishwarya looked ravishing in a golden colour Saree designed by Neeta Lulla on her wedding day. The bride was decked in gold, kundan, precious gems and diamond jewellery from head to toe.
2. Esha Deol:
Dressed in a lovely pink lehenga by Rocky S, Esha looked resplendent at the event. Make-up, jewellery, hair were perfectly done keeping subtlety in mind.
3. Kareena Kapoor:
For her D-day Kareena, wore a green punjabi suit, while Saif chose to dress up in a grey kurta-pyjama since they had a simple registered marriage, for the nikaah ceremony she wore her mom in law Sharmila’s old red gharara..restored by Manish Malhotra..and for the reception or Dawaat E Waalima she again wore a Manish Malhotra “old-world” pink gharara
4. Lara Dutta:
Lara picked a gown by Lebanese-born Elie Saab for her wedding which took place in Christian style. Her gown also had a lot of lace, silk taffeta, and organza and a neckline studded with gemstones. What more!
5. Lisa Ray:
Recently married Lisa wore a crystal-encrusted gown by close friend and designer Wendell Rodricks, while for the reception she was seen in an exquisite custom-made Satya Paul sari. That sari sure is gorgeous..georgette sari highlighted with beige and traditional ‘gota patti’ work !!
6. Shilpa Shetty:
Shilpa looked stunning in the shimmering golden coloured dress, designed by Tarun Tahiliani. Complementing her dress was the jewellery which she picked from Anmol jewels.
7. Genelia:
Genelia wore a red lehenga-choli ensemble and net dupatta heavily decorated with golden embroidery and sequins, exuding classic elegance. The red and gold stunning lehenga was designed by Shane and Falguni Peacock. The fitted choli and flairs of the lehenga suited her slim figure.
I loved Lisa Ray’s Satya Paul sari and Genelia’s Lehenga Choli..
