Ingredients:
My take:
Packaging simply lovely pink tube. Don’t we all love when we have simple products with packaging in bright colours in our vanity? Just lifts my mood. Hehe.
So the packaging is sturdy the brush is the standard mascara brush. It has matt finish and it is thick non dripping mascara.
I have used it for about 3 months. Finished all of it and only then I am ready ti give its review.
Al in all great for everyday use. Little steep on the price (when I checked the price online). Nothing that cannot be lived without.
Just a good everyday pink tube to have.
Pros of the mascara:
• Matt. Good for everyday use.
• Smudge proof.
• Waterproof.
• Single coat does the job.
Cons of the mascara:
• Nothing special really. No length or visible thickness of my lashes.
Will I buy it? NO!

TRESemmé Hair Spa Rejuvenation range.
New York fashionista’s favourite hair care brand – TRESemmé launches its latest salon innovation – the TRESemmé Hair Spa Rejuvenation range.
Emerging out of this growing salonisation trend across the country, born in a salon, TRESemmé introduces the specially designed Hair Spa Rejuvenation range. Together with a gentle massage on the scalp, it gives the benefit of a hair spa in the comfort of your home.
This new range is infused with marine mineral complex, essential nutrients and a fresh fragrance. The TRESemmé Hair Spa Rejuvenation shampoo cleanses hair leaving them freshly scented. It also prepares the scalp and hair
for the next step in the regimen.The TRESemmé Hair Spa Rejuvenation Massageable Conditioner is infused with hydrating marine mineral complex and helps soothe the scalp. It contains a nourishing blend of vitamins along with conditioning actives that protect hair from external traumas. Along with this, it contains ingredients like Helianthus Annus Seed oil which provides deep scalp nourishment. Antifungal and nourishing ingredients like Zinc Pyrithione and Lysiene have scalp barrier strengthening properties. For a rejuvenating experience, the conditioner is especially designed to massage the scalp and moisturize the hair. This prevents it from tangling, making it softer and smoother.
Regular conditioners VS the TRESemmé Massageable conditioner
Usually conditioners are applied to hair and then massaged from midlengths to tips. TRESemme’s massageable conditioner is meant to be applied both on the scalp and lengths of the hair. Infused with marine minerals and essential nutrients, it penetrates the scalp leaving it nourished and moisturized to look beautiful. The TRESemmé massageable conditioner for your scalp gives your hair body, with the freedom to style your hair the way you like.
The TRESemmé Hair Spa is a ritual. Diana Penty, TRESemmé brand ambassador now swears by it to pamper herself. “It is very easy to get trapped in a stressful routine working for long hours. It leaves me tired and my hair dull and extremely lifeless. Earlier, I had to take out time for long hair spa sessions at the salon but now thanks to the new TRESemmé spa range, I can unwind, de-stress and rejuvenate at home!”

What the Company claims: A complex blend of essential oil, this moisturizing serum helps to replenish and restore dry and frizzy hair. Designed to provide an expert solution to everyday hair problems, this professional serum is aided with the rich benefit of Argan. Non greasy and greatly effective, the serum leaves hair soft and supremely conditioned, allowing you to let down your hair anytime, anywhere.
Claims & Ingredients:
MRP: Rs.349/- for 45ml
I like using hair serums as it controls most of the frizz especially in monsoons since hair is more frizzy due to the moisture and humidity (A forever story in Mumbai anyways)
I had not heard about Streax serums before, as hair color was always I associated it with. So, when I got to try this, I was all in, also coz I love Argan Oil.
It comes in a small dark tinted glass bottle with a white pump packaging and a small plastic clear cap to cover the white pump dispensor.
You just need two pumps of it and its more than enough. I love using it on my ‘just washed’ damp hair. Texture is slightly on the stickier side since its more ‘oil like’ than a serum. But then, I feel this is the reason, it controls frizz like nobody’s business !
Since its heavier, you just rub the serum in your hands and take thick strands of hair and press your hand against the strands, as if you coating them. You would still be left with some product even after covering entire portion of hair, as its just like touching them and not rubbing it on.
I love how my hair feels smoother and there is no frizz at all, after using this. It smells good too, not completely argan but slightly sweet coz of the added perfume probably.
Its a blend of argan, almond, walnut oil and Vitamin E. It does have silicones too, but it does not contain mineral oil or parabens. I guess silicones is something which is unavoidable in serums as that creates a layer on the hair to protect from moisture and not get frizzy.
I used it on both wet and dry hair. And IMO, I did not like using it on dry hair since its on the stickier side, it does not settle well on dry hair. Whereas it blended in, on wet/damp hair.
Overall, I would say I really loved it. Now its my staple after every hair wash. And since, you do not need much, the 45ml bottle is going to last long. Turns out economical at Rs.349/- even though its slightly higher priced than other serums. And I would prefer something like this with a blend of oils, rather than plain serums with just silicones. Highly recommended.

Now this time they have come up with an Instaglam box for the Rakhi season to celebrate the special ‘brother-sister’ bond called the ‘Celebration of Bonds’ box.
Shades Available: Pink, Coral, Red
MRP: Rs.750/- (with products worth Rs.895/-)
Its a box with your basic essentials which are:
A Shade of Maybelline Glitter Mania Nail Paint (Pink Champagne in the Pink Box)
A dash of kajal, liner and lip gloss is what all of us use even on a regular basis. And the latest Glitter Mania nail paints were the perfect thing to add in the box ! An hint of bling completes the celebration box.
Colossal Kajal is a classic, a good glossy liquid liner is another must have. I absolutely love the High Shine Lip Gloss range, one of the best in India. And Glitter Mania nail enamels are again an hit. The shade in this box ‘Pink Champagne’ is by far an universal favorite and I believe the widely sold too 😀
I think its a box all girls can use, coz not many use blush/mascara but a kajal or lip gloss is what every girl would use/carry along in her bag 😀
It makes a perfect gift, not only for sisters but also your girlfriends 😉 Nah, for any girl actually.
I highly recommend it. One good, value for money, must have box. Not only for yourself, but also to gift someone. At 750 bucks, makes quite an economical gift too 🙂
I did an FOTD with the kajal, lip gloss and eyeliner (created a winged eyeliner).
What the Company claims: A daring and mysterious fragrance in a light eau de toilette, featuring an intoxicating blend of cruelty-free musk with sinuous notes of black smoky rose and tobacco flower.
Seductive floral-musk scent
Contains cruelty-free musk
Light eau de toilette
MRP: Rs.1395/- for 30ml & Rs.1695/- for 60ml
I have been using this from almost 3-4 months now. The White Musk Smoky Rose comes in both EDT and EDP form like other scents from The Body Shop. EDT is milder and lighter whereas EDP is a little more heavier in terms of scent/fragrance (more concentrated)
Top notes are bergamot, pink pepper and black currant; middle notes are tobacco blossom, black rose, orange blossom and immortelle; base notes are olibanum and white musk.
I quite like the cute pink packaging too. Its very small and handy to carry along anywhere.
I love white musk smell but it can be a little heavy at times. When blended with this floral and fruity notes, it balanced the white musk smell. ‘Smoky’ is what the tobacco flower in this gives a hint of.
Its neither too sweet nor too floral or fruity. Like everything is in perfect proportion. You have a hint of fruity, floral, manly white musk, smoky tobacco but all subtly balanced.
I quiet love this ! Its something unique and nice. Only issue is it does not stay long on me, max 3-4 hours. So lacks on the longevity and sillage department. I wish it stayed longer. Perhaps I would try the EDP next time.
Highly recommend this. If you are someone who does not like too floral or fruity fragrance and you like white musk, this is the perfect balance.
Have you tried The Body Shop White Musk Smoky Rose EDT ?
If you have been following me on facebook and twitter these days, you must be knowing about this #WhatTheBlack activity that I and many others across social media are doing, with Blogadda.com
Also check out my All Black Wishlist which I shared few days ago HERE.
So it is basically a product for which we received clues on the first 3 days and we had to guess what the product would be.
On the 1st day, we received this black chocolate egg.
On the 2nd day, we got a black newspaper.
On the 3rd day, we received a black paper cup and a black tissue.
All the clues were leading to breakfast or something edible or sweet, like biscuits, etc. Few guessed black coffee. But it basically meant all the things that are traditionally always white had now turned black ! Egg, Newspaper, Paper cup, Tissue.
And what the actual final product was we received it today i. e the 4th day. Everyone was so eager and curious to know what it would be.
It is..
Colgate Slim Soft Charcoal Toothbrush !
Totally unexpected, aint it ? Quite a surprise. Have always been a fan of Colgate toothpaste but not the toothbrush. This looks pretty interesting. Looking forward to trying it out 😀
What did you expect #WhatTheBlack to be ? Did you think of a toothbrush in your wildest dreams ?!
I am back with an OOTD. After a break, this time. :p
Has the culottes trend caught on you ? It has on me, and luckily I found an old floral one in my wardrobe while cleaning and organizing it. 😀 One of the advantage of cleaning your wardrobe 😉
I went to the L’Oreal Research & Innovation Centre few days back for where we were shown how the hair color is made and the process,etc (basically the research and the things that happen backdoors). And this is what I chose to wear, since it was raining. Nothing beats a pair of pretty, floral culottes when its raining and you need something cotton, comfy and easy to dry.
There’s a difference between gaucho pants and culottes. Gaucho Pants (generally calf length and high waist) are slightly fitted from the top and only flare towards the bottom, whereas Culottes are fully flared and look more like a skirt. (basically a shorter version of palazzo pants).
I paired it with a white studded top and a pretty multi colored statement necklace. Only a watch to complete the look. And red and mint jelly flats since these are the best in rains/monsoons.
The statement necklace is from The Klick Store, owned by Karishma Lakdawalla. Check them out on facebook HERE, they have an unique collection of necklaces, earrings, charm bracelets,hair clips, etc. Not the usual stuff you find everywhere, coz Karishma herself makes them ! Yes, all handmade. Super cool stuff. I loved this piece personally coz it can be paired with so many things and complements many outfits.
I hope you liked the outfit. You will find a lot of culottes these days in Zara too. Have you bought one ? How do you style it ? Do share the pics/ideas in the comments below 🙂

I am reviewing the shades Red Delight and Desert Rose today.
At first, many would be confused about the name which says ‘Gloss Addict’ and it is actually a lipstick. The range is called Gloss Addicts and the Lipsticks are a part of this range. These are basically high shine glossy pigmented lipsticks.
They come in a pretty silver packaging with a see through cap. The base is strong enough, so no fear of breakage as seen in a few lipsticks recently.
It is super glossy and moisturizing. Well pigmented and 2 strokes give you a full opaque color. It stays for 2-3 hours and leaves behind a soft tint and reapplying is easy too. You can apply it on the go, unlike a few matte lipsticks which need to be applied properly with patience.
Only issue is does not stay that long and might not cover pigmented lips completely especially the lighter shades like Desert Rose here.
L- Red Delight, R- Desert Rose,
Red Delight is a pinkish red shade with some fine shimmer. This shade would work on all skin tones. And it is one easy to carry red. If you are just starting with reds and don’t want to jump on the bold reds, this lipstick is for you. It brightens the face instantly.
U- Desert Rose, D- Red Delight
Desert Rose is a light rosy pink shade. Would suit medium to fair skin tones. It gives a fresh look to the face and is a good shade for daily wear. But not meant for pigmented lips, as won’t show up much.
And here are these on moi..
L- Red Delight, R- Desert Rose
Pros:
1. Super glossy.
2. Pigmented.
3. Very hydrating.
4. Comes in 15 rich shades and has all pinks, nudes, reds, corals,etc
5. Travel friendly.
6. Easy to use on the go.
Cons:
1. Expensive and the qty is less too.
2. Lighter shades won’t show up on pigmented lips.
Overall, I would say these are good for someone who loves glossy lipsticks. I do. Also these are so easy to use, you can just carry one along and apply it in the car,cab,auto, etc. Very pigmented and hydrating and come in an array of 15 pretty,fresh,wearable shades.
My other favorites are Berry Rose, Plum Perfect (perfect plummy pink) and Orange Candy (a very wearable coral orange).
