Haircut at Juice Salon: I went Short! #GetTheLookWithJUICE

Hi guys,

I had not got a haircut since December i.e. last I had got it done just before my wedding. So, it had been a good 6-7 months and my hair desperately needed a cut. Last week I went to the Juice Salon at Inorbit Mall, Vashi to try out their new monsoon haircut + style. Ronnie, a super talented and an amazing hairstylist came down all the way to Vashi for me.

You must have seen this pic on my Instagram.

Juice has come up with 3 new hairstyles for the monsoons, 2 for women and 1 for men. I tried out one according to my face shape and hair texture. Ronnie started with washing my hair and then applying a serum which also works as a heat protectant for the blow drying later.

She chopped off 4-5 inches from the ends. Now this is the first time I have gone this short at a time 😀 I have always had long hair and hardly go short,so this is a refreshing change.

She layered on the top section to give the hair volume on the crown. And side swept bangs to frame the face which I am completely loving. She made sure she gives a haircut which is just was-and-go on regular days. And it indeed is, I am completely loving it.

Ronnie wanted soft,wavy curls at the ends but not those tong ones, a much softer version. She curled the ends with a hair straightener and then blow dried the crown section to give volume.

She gave me a lot of hair tips about serums,shampoos and hair styling products in general,it was so good chatting with her. She used a hair spray on her palm and gently used it on the top for the bangs to stay in place.

Here is my ‘Before’ and ‘After’

Me and Ronnie..

Lakme Salon #TheSculptLook Makeover,Vlog & Contest

Hi guys,

A few days ago I went to the Lakme Salon to try out the new Sculpt Look. Read all about the hair and makeup in The Sculpt Collection HERE.

There are various hairstyles and different makeup looks which form part of the Sculpt collection, it is all about the chiseled,sculpted look and a lot of contouring on the face, sharp hairstyles,etc.

You can always get it tweaked a bit according to your face shape and how you want to wear it. I loved the Marsala Stairs haircut and style, but that was something very,very sharp and the stylist Shefali told me I would need to straighten my hair all the time for the effect of the stairs to show otherwise it would not look good on me. Another option was The Pixel Bob but then again I did not want to go that short. Rest were buns which would work perfect with gowns or something Indian.

Hair

We went with the Victorian Matte look, but since I was wearing a casual tee, the bun would not have looked good and we changed that into a sculpted pony with a pouf and a lot of back combing at the front.

For the makeup, the entire face was contoured and I was given a darker, warmer base. A wash of warm gold for the eyes and inner half of the lower lashline. The very long winged eyeliner did not work for my face, so we went with kitten flick and kept the lips matte and dark too.

A closer look at the makeup

For the lips, Pallavi used the new Lakme Absolute Sculpt Matte lipstick in ‘Pink Me Up‘ and applied it with a brush, giving the lips a perfect sculpted shape.

Since the lights at the salon were bright and yellow, colors appear a bit different.

Here is my ‘Before’ and ‘After’

Parachute Advansed #MomWasAlwaysRight Contest

Hi Guys,

I am back with a contest! First of all, how many of you feel our moms were always right and we should have listened to them more often 😀 :raises hand slowly: I think majority 😉

Let me share a few things today which my mom always told me to do, and I never did :p And now I feel, she was so right, I wish I had listened to her before.

  • Don’t binge on junk food

Well, I would not have to exercise later on, if I had listened to her.

  • Oil your hair more often,not only for the hair health but also to de-stress

Mom used to regularly oil my hair when I was in school and I had the best hair then, well like all, I reduced the frequency of oiling my hair once I entered college and then slowly it went down and down to nil. I should start oiling my hair again, miss my old awesome hair. Also the head massage my mom gave while oiling my hair was so so de-stressing.

  • Use natural stuff like curd,honey,besan,etc., for your skin

We all run after these face packs,face scrubs,face washes and what not and after using them for years, we suddenly realise that natural products are actually the safest and best. We should have listened to our moms before,right.

  • Early to bed,early to rise

Those late nights throughout our teens have changed our sleeping pattern and the weekends too, so getting up on weekdays for office has been such a pain for most of us :p

  • A penny saved is penny earned

Oh ya, the savings! Let’s not even talk about it, right :p Mom was always so right on saving and not spending like crazy.

I want to know your #MomWasAlwaysRight moments in the comments below and 2 winners will win special Parachute Advansed Aromatherapy gift packs.

The contest starts today and ends after 2 days on 11th May evening. Share this post on your social media tagging me and use #MomWasAlwaysRight for brownie points.

Also, when you win the contest, you can try this Art of Oiling on your mom 🙂 She will be very happy..watch the video to know how.

Good Luck 🙂

P.S: I am extending the contest till 12th May evening.
