So I finally got the October My Envy Box, this is their 3rd anniversary box and all the teaser emails where making me very curious, they had mentioned they have 8 products in this month’s box.
The box this month is a plain white one with black web design on it and it says ‘turns three’ below the My Envy Box logo.
I got the Zebra print black and white nail wraps in Nertia. I have tried the Gulnare face wash before and it’s quite good. The Ayca Jasmine Body Wash also smells really nice.
I am not much into whitening cleansing facial foam as they make my skin super stretchy and dry. I would have liked the essence though which is another option in the box. I wish My Envy Box gave options to subscribers on what they can choose in terms of shades or products, if they have a few different ones to offer. That would be very convenient.
Love the Forest Essentials Cleansing Paste, I wanted to try this one out, glad I got this. Also this is perfect for travelling. Even the Kerastase Chronologiste vial is perfect for travel.
The Vert Loose Powder is made from all natural, dried rose petals. It has a strong pink undertone and can be used as a blush or eyeshadow. This would make a beautiful blush! But the quantity is good enough to last a few generations 😀 I would suggest splitting it to half or 1/4th and sharing it with your friends/family.
The total value of all the products in this month’s box comes to around Rs.3750/- I am quite happy with the products, 3 are full sized while 3 are super deluxe samples.
I definitely recommend this month’s box! Total value for money.
Did you get the Oct My Envy Box? What did you receive?
I don’t generally go to salons for facials and clean ups, I prefer taking care of my skin at home and follow the basic skin care routine regularly. If you spend even 5-10 minutes on your skin daily and the scrub/mask routine once/twice a week, you won’t need any fancy or expensive salon facials/clean ups.
Now a clean-up is important coz sometimes the blackheads and whiteheads are not really visible but they do develop when the pores are blocked or there is dirt in the pores which is not cleaned regularly.
Here is how I do a mini clean-up at home:
1. Wash your face with a face wash. My Holy Grail is the Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem face wash.
2. Cleanse your face with a milk based cleanser. Now there are quite a few options available, you can also try the Himalaya Herbals Refreshing Cleansing Milk. Massage for a minute to two and wipe it off with a damp cotton ball
3. Take steam on the face. If you don’t have a steam machine, just boil some water and bend your face over it covering with a towel. It will do the job equally well.
4. Extract comedones, either use cotton on both of your hands to press the skin and extract it or use a blackhead extractor for deep rooted blackheads. You get it for about 50-60 rupees. Just sanitise and clean it before using and even after using.
6. Toner. You can either use rose water or cucumber water or any alcohol free toner to close the pores. It is very important to close the pores which have opened with the steam.
7. Follow it up with a face pack. Now again I would go with either the Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face Pack if I have acne or the Himalaya Herbals Fairness Kesar Face Pack if I want to get rid of tan. Keep it for 10-15 minutes and also use cotton balls soaked in rose water over the eyes and just relax. Take it all off with a damp cotton ball. Wash your face with water if you feel like.
8. Moisturize your face with your regular moisturizer.
9. Apply a sunscreen/sunblock
That’s it, you are done. This whole procedure will take about 30 minutes including the face pack. You can do it once a week on a Saturday or Sunday, you can spend at least 30 minutes in a week over your skin, if not, once in two weeks is a must! Also if you do not do it regularly, the whiteheads and blackheads will not be extracted, the skin won’t be exfoliated. Dead skin cells will form a layer and the blackheads will turn to acne.
Regular skin care is important even if you have good skin, to maintain it. Do not take your skin for granted. Your skin gets regenerated every 21 days, so at least follow this simple clean-up at home once every 2 weeks i.e. 14 days.
Few points to remember:
1. Always use products according to your skin type or how your skin is behaving during that time.
2. Do not be harsh on your skin, do not scrub vigorously or over exfoliate.
3. Always end with a sun block/sunscreen even if you are not stepping out
There are a lot of products available in the market if you do not have extra time to DIY at home. I like Himalaya Herbals products and have been using them since my college days. They are affordable and easily available.
You can check out Himalaya Herbals on Facebook HERE and on twitter HERE and also more from their Face Care Range HERE
Today’s post is a little different, I wanted to share some things about health and travel insurance as it is still taken for granted and many people are not covered.
One of my dear friends recently got diagnosed with Malaria and had to be admitted to a hospital. Getting admitted in a hospital (without surgery) can set you back by around 20,000/ day. It is here that the importance of health insurance policies comes into the picture.
Health insurance in India, popularly known as Mediclaim, is nothing but an Insurance which covers expenses related to necessary hospitalization due to a sickness or an accident. Health insurance is generally an annual policy, renewable every year. The policy covers hospitalization due to sickness and accidental injury. You can claim health insurance in 2 ways – cashless or reimbursement.
Cashless – You don’t have to pay anything. You go to the insurance company’s website, check out their network of Hospitals & get admitted to the nearest network hospital which gives admittance just by showing the cashless card (which will be processed within 2-3 hours)
Reimbursement – In case you happen to be admitted in a hospital which is not in the network of your insurance company, you will have to make all payments on your own to the hospital, and then claim the same from the insurance company.
Tips for choosing a health insurance plan
Opt for family floater
If a family of three buys a family floater mediclaim of 3 lakhs, the full family covered can make claims of upto Rs. 3 lakh in a year, subject to other terms and conditions in the policy. In most policies self, spouse, and kids are covered in a family floater policy. On the other hand, individual mediclaim is a product where each member is covered under a separate Sum Insured. Taking individual policies turns out to be more expensive than family floater.
Cover pre-existing diseases
Pre-existing ailments or diseases are symptoms, diagnosed ailments, or any existing or past health condition which exist at the time of applying for mediclaim policy. When you apply for a mediclaim, please ensure that you provide a detailed medical background about your family. Ailments which already exist are generally covered by mediclaim after 4 years. In a recent trend, most insurance companies now have started putting permanent exclusions for pre-existing diseases in the policy.
Royal Sundaram Health Insurance has come out with their policies with extended features as listed below:
• No room rent capping (some policies cap hospital room rent at a measly number)
• No Disease specific sub limits.( most policies in the market will restrict the amount payable for defined illness / treatments )
Travelling is something that is enjoyed by everyone. But travelling overseas usually means that one is entering a new and unknown land where the language, culture, people, and conditions are different. If in such a new land, one may face the plight of loss of baggage, robbery, health problems etc. During such difficult times, financial aid is needed, and that’s when travel insurance comes to your rescue. While one is on a trip, it is good to hope that your trip proceeds as expected and planned, but it is not necessary that it will.
Out of India, expenses for hospitalization are higher than those within India. Thus, if one is traveling overseas, purchasing a travel insurance can protect the insured against such unexpected expenses due to ill health or accidents. If one is injured due to the accident or falls ill during the trip then the expenses of the medication as well as for hospitalization or emergency evacuation is paid partly or fully(this will depend on the policy coverage offered) by the travel insurance company and thus less burden on the insured.
Royal Sundaram’s Travel Insurance covers almost everything you can think of;
• Overseas medical covers of up to US$ 150,000.
• Security against unexpected emergency surgeries, diagnostic tests (such as X-Ray, blood tests, scans) and medical aid prescribed by the attending physician
• Covers emergencies and essential dental treatments
• Total coverage for loss of checked-in baggage
• Coverage for delays of checked-in baggage which includes reimbursement for emergency purchase of clothing and toiletries, up to a certain limit
• Coverage for loss of travel documents which includes reimbursements and reissuing duplicate documents
• You can also avail hijack distress allowance under this scheme
OOTD, Pictures clicked with Asus Zenfone 3 | Review
Hi guys,
I have reviewed many Asus phones including the tab before, read all HERE. I have to say this Zenfone 3 is the most exciting one, coz of the camera!
Colors: Moonlight White, Shimmer Gold, Aqua Blue, Sapphire Black
Price: Rs.21999/-
It comes with USB-C type charger, user guide, headphones with additional caps.
The Zendesign and front and rear 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass makes it look elegant and classy (also scratch free) and the design has won a few awards already!
Absolutely love the sleek design and the metal outer frame, plus it is very light weight!
PixelMaster 3.0 packs a 16MP camera with the latest Sony® IMX298 sensor, six-element Largan lens with a large f/2.0 aperture, and subject-tracking TriTech auto-focus for variable distance and lighting clarity in just 0.03 seconds. Optical and electronic image stabilization for blur-free shots and video, color correction sensor for true color photography, and true 4K UHD video recording.
The TriTech ultra fast 0.03s auto focus is the first of its kind and exclusive only to Zenfone 3. For the first time in the smartphone world, the engineers at Asus have combined three focusing technologies — laser, phase detection and continuous auto-focus — into one harmonious system. The optical image stabilizer prevents any blurry/shaky photos coz of hand movements.
The 64MP Super Resolution and Real Time HDR makes the pictures look absolutely true to life and super vivid and sharp! The pictures in Super Resolution mode are better than DSLR’s too! But of course, the files are very heavy in size.
Zenfone 3 not only looks amazing and has a fabulous camera, but also comes packed with power! It has 4-bit, 2.0GHz octa-core Snapdragon™ 625 processor, 4GB memory and desktop-grade Adreno™ 506 graphics performance. This powerhouse processor has revolutionary 14nm Fin Field Effect Transistors (FinFETs) to deliver full-on performance while reducing power consumption by 35%. World’s First 14nm Snapdragon processor with with 64-Bit Octa-Core CPU @2.0Ghz : S625 is much more powerful than previous generation thanks to new full 8 core @ 2.0Ghz. 2016 S625 is around the same level of performance of 2015 S800 series. 14nm is the most advance process technology in 2016. FinFet LPP technology increase the powering saving more than 35%. As conclusion, S625 is not mid end processor , it’s middlle-high end processor with great user experience.
It has 4G/3G dual-SIM bay for complete flexibility for up to 300Mbps (Category 7) downloads via either card, and the latest 802.11ac technology for Wi-Fi connections that scream at up to 433Mbps. ZenFone 3 even offers accelerated charging, with a five-minute top-up adding two hours of talk time to the powerful 3000mAh battery — and reversible USB-C for any-way-up connectivity convenience! The USB-C also ensures that the phone never heats up while getting charged or while playing games/surfing the web.
It has 4G LTE and works on Android Marshmallow. It comes with both 5.2 and 5.5 inch display size, this is the 5.2 inch one in Shimmer Gold, love the halo it creates.
The camera of course comes with all the classic Asus features like HDR, Super HDR, Panorama, Selfie Panorama, Sepia, Beautification, Time Lapse, Slow Motion, etc. It also has an in built editor with various filters/frames and some basic editing options.
The 16MP rear camera is super sharp and clear, I have clicked some pictures and they are all raw/unedited, I have only resized them as each picture was around 3MB!
Also used the front 8MP camera for some selfies. Front camera also has Beautification, HDR Pro mode, etc. I have clicked in normal Auto mode, Beautification mode and in HDR Pro.
AutoBeautificationHDR Pro
I am loving the pictures!
Game Genie, Sonic Master, Finger print sensor are some of the other fabulous features to look at!
All these features and specs definitely deserve a price much higher, but 21999 is a steal for Asus Zenfone 3! I believe it has everything one needs in a smartphone from camera to battery life to performance! Total value for money! You can check more or buy them on Flipkart www.flipkart.com/zenfone-3
Every child deserves to stay traditionally stylish!
Kids’ fashion world has started to receive its deserved attention in the last few years with the original and experimental brands amplifying their collections of attractive quirky designs for kidswear. You have to stay updated with the latest trends while shopping for your little ones. Ensuring that the fabric is soft with simple yet zany prints, made with clean lines and combination of vivid colors is the primary requirement. Secondly, make sure that you buy keeping the occasion in mind. If you follow trends, then why not follow themes as well?
Casuals like polo t-shirts, dungarees, skirts, crop tops, and denims are and will always be in vogue. But the charm of ethnic wear for kids is exquisite and unbeatable. On an occasion like wedding, engagement ceremony, cocktail party or any festive day, ethnic dresses look perfect on kids. The traditional edge makes them look even cuter and super adorable. Take up the opportunity to dress your kids properly in Indian dresses that radiate cultural vibes.
So what’s the challenge? It’s finding the ideal ethnic attire that’s classy as well as comfortable for your kid.

The stage is set. The gruelling hours put in rehearsals are waiting to throw results. The awards are ready to make someone’s day. Film award ceremonies in India, no matter rigged or genuine, do provide a wide gamut of entertainment besides evincing the knack (or at times, unfortunately the lack of it) in fashion of our Tinseltown celebrities. So, on that note let’s take a look at the best red carpet looks of Bollywood ladies who sashayed in sheer panache and let everyone bewitched.
1. KRITI SANON – This newbie has definitely caught the fancy of fashionistas with her simple, subtle but stunning fashion sense. Seen her is Kriti Sanon all decked up in an orange gown with almost zero accessories and a neatly done hairdo on the red carpet of Star Guild Awards 2016. The look is as simple as it gets but catches ones eyeballs. Who said simple cannot be stunning? Kriti is here to refute it and how!
2. PRIYANKA CHOPRA- Often hailed as a fashionista, Priyanka Chopra floored one and all on the red carpet of Oscars 2016 when she opted for this white embellished strapless gown by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad. With her hair pulled into a subtle pony with a centre part, she walked the ginormous red carpet with panache.
3. AISHWARYA RAI BACHCHAN- Miss World 1994 opted for a strapless Oscar de la Renta gown in maroon at Cannes Film Festival 2015. Often accused for committing major style blunders in the past when it came to Cannes, Aishwarya nails it with this look. Smittten? Who wouldn’t be? 🙂
4. SHRADDHA KAPOOR- With such a cherubic and angelic face as hers, it would be difficult to look unprepossessing. On the green carpet of IIFA 2015, Shraddha Kapoor grabbed all the limelight for this simple strapless black gown that complemented her petite frame well. With a dazzling smile, minimal makeup and accessories, Shraddha looked a million bucks.
5. DEEPIKA PADUKONE- Mark my words- If there is any list on the most gorgeous/fashionable/elegant ladies, it’d be incomplete if she doesn’t make an appearance. Deepika Padukone glows effulgently in this elaborate and embellished Sabyasachi saree. With her hair done in a neat bun and a heart-warming smile, Deepika set a number of hearts fluttering (mine included) 🙂
6. KAREENA KAPOOR KHAN- Sashaying down the red carpet of Filmfare Glamour & Style Awards in a lemon colour Roberto Cavalli gown, the Begum of Pataudi- Kareena Kapoor Khan delineated the art of effortless dressing.
7. ANUSHKA SHARMA– There is a vibe of chirpiness, effervescence and a-girl- next-door surrounding this leggy lass who stepped into the glitzy world of Bollywood opposite SRK with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in 2008 which makes her likeable. Not to forget, she was a model before switching over to acting so, her dressing sense has to be impeccable (as we expect naturally). Seen here is this towering lady swaddled in a light yellow Gauri and Nainka gown, which at the Vogue Beauty Awards. Dreamy, we say!
Editor’s Note: I had attended the Vogue Beauty Awards last year and saw Anushka Sharma in person, her gown was beautiful! Also Aishwarya’s dress is one of my favourites! Kriti’t gown is oh so striking, love orange! I think I love all 😀
We all go through days or rather nights during our periods, where we wake up with stained clothes or bedsheets at times. I know it may get a little embarrassing and night pads like these help us through those nights.
Claims: SOFY Overnight is the longest napkin in India and has a wider hip guard which covers your panty from the back for extra coverage. So you can sleep peacefully all night long.
Sofy is Japan’s no. 1 Sanitary Napkin brand and we have it in India since about 2 years now. I am very glad we do, coz there were just 1-2 sanitary napkin brands available widely in India and one being the most famous, had the largest share in the market. Also is very expensive, and leaves rashes and itchy feeling post periods coz of the plastic layer on top. It was not the most comfortable but then there were hardly any options in gel absorbing category.
Sofy has quite a few different variants available but this Overnight one is absolutely perfect for girls with heavy flow at night time because it is quite wide and long. Its wider hip guard covers the panty from the back and there are no chances of leakage or transfer because of the double absorbent core. The wings keep the pad in place and it doesn’t move.
It is the longest napkin in India. They have this super ad called #SleepingUgly which says Sleeping Beauties belong only in fairytales and in reality we sleep best when we sleep ugly 😀 That is so practical and true, that is the real us.
I love the fact that these are super soft and there is no absolutely no itchiness or rashes during or even after the periods. You can check out more about Sofy on www.sofyclub.com/in
Today I am listing my top favourite blushes, 5 out of 6 are matte and perfect for day time. Only the Jordana one has shimmer but that is not much visible on the skin.
Maybelline Cheeky Glow Blush in Peachy Sweetie
It’s a light dusty rose pink and completely matte. The most affordable blush in the market and is pigmented enough! I recommend this to everyone, even if you are not a blush person and would like to own just one and not invest much in it, you can try this.
L’Oreal Paris Lucent Magique Blush of Light in Fuchsia Flush
Another super gorgeous hot pink shade! This is very bright and pigmented and you have to go with a very light hand when using this. It is priced at INR 850 but will last you forever. Absolutely love the packaging.
Marks & Spencer Limited Blusher in Damson
My go-to everyday blush, this is a light n*de mauve kind of shade, you can go lightly with this or layer for more intensity. The most natural looking blush I own
Jordana Blush in Sunlit Bronze
Again a very nice, everyday neutral shade. It’s a light brown with some shimmer. Very pigmented and use it with a light hand again as otherwise it might look muddy.
Sigma Blush in Cheeky
It’s a muted rosy brown shade, perfect for medium to fair skin tones.
MAC Bite of an Apple Blush
My most favourite blush ever, it’s a medium coral pink and looks beautiful on fair to medium skin tones. This will even show up well on deeper skin tones.

Do you like the pictures? What are your favourite blushes?
What is trending everywhere these days?? Well, may be all of you might be having numerous answers but I am sure majority of you will say RIO Olympics.
The 2016 Summer Olympics or RIO Olympics is an International multi-sport event being hosted by Brazil. Athletes of different sports from all over the world are competing against each other. And by God’s grace some other sport in India other than cricket has become the talk of the town and the highlight in RIO Olympics for India are the women athletes. They are large number of women athletes representing our country and making us proud. But we are very sure that many of you might not know them. So, here out of my overdose of patriotic feeling below is the list of Indian women athletes at Rio Olympics who are raising not only the Indian flag high but also our pride too –
1. Deepika Kumari: She is representing our country in Women’s Individual Archery who is currently ranked at world no. 5 and is a former world no. 1. She has also been a proud recipient of Arjuna award in the year 2012. Deepika with 640 points has secured the 20th position.
2. Aditi Ashok: She created history by becoming first and youngest Indian to win the Lalla Aicha tour School hence obtaining her 2016 ladies PGA tour card. At Rio she is currently at the third round of competition where she is just 4 strokes away of making it to the top.
3. Dipa Karmakar: Hailing from a Bengali family she was serious about her passion in gymnastics right since the age of 8. She gained limelight at 2014 commonwealth games where she won bronze for India. At Rio 2016, she attained fourth position with an overall score of 15.066.
4. Sakshi Malik – Born at Rohtak, she is a live example of making it big inspite of being from a small town. At the age of 12, she thought seriously about wrestling by drawing inspiration from her grandfather. She became the first women wrestler to win a bronze for India.
5. PV Sindhu – She hails from a family of professional volleyball players who have been a recipient of many prestigious awards. Do you know she used to travel a distance of 56 Km. every day to practice? Well, as they say the victory tastes sweet only when you have made serious efforts. We can’t stop congratulating her on being the first women to win individual silver.
6. Lalita Babbar: The 27 year old long distance runner became the talk of the town when she won Mumbai Marathon for the 3rd time making it hat-trick. At Rio 2016, she finished at the 10th position in the final race.
We have mentioned a few women only here who made a commendable performance at Rio but there are many other who also made our country proud at the biggest sporting event. All these women are making each and every Indian proud at Rio Olympics and we wish all of them ’All the Best’ and hope they add will many more feathers to the Olympic medals cap of our country.
India is one country which has three seasons and rains/monsoon are the most integral middle season. We love it, hate it, but we cannot ignore it. And cannot not get drenched once, come what may. Because whenever you carry an umbrella, it will never rain while when you don’t as it’s very sunny, it will surely rain! Murphy’s laws :/
Anyhoo, since we cannot avoid it, we should be well prepared for it. Your makeup needs some change too in the monsoon, as you don’t want heavy foundations or makeup meltdown in monsoon.
Primer, makeup setting spray and waterproof makeup is the solution against monsoon 😀 Here are few of my makeup must haves for monsoon season:
1. Primer: A primer is very essential as it not only smoothens the pores and make your foundation glide seamlessly, it also holds your makeup in place in sweat & humidity. I am currently loving the Sephora Smoothing Primer and Make Up For Ever Step 1 Smoothing Skin Equalizer.
2. Concealer/BB cream: Now you do not need heavy foundation in monsoon as it’s bound to be humid and sticky too. Concealers/tinted moisturisers/BB creams are your best friend in monsoon. I love the Ponds BB Cream and the Lakme Absolute Face Stylist Concealer. These are my go to, keep the makeup in place and are not at all heavy. The concealer also instantly brightens my under eyes.
3. Cream Blushes/Highlighters/Cheek & Lip Stains: Go for cream to powder finish products in monsoon or tints. They are not too heavy, give a soft and dewy finish and the color/tint stays put through the day. I love the Kryolan Lip & Cheek Stain, Faces Ultime Pro Metalliglow Highlighter in Champagne, The Body Shop Cheek & Lip Stain
4. Eyebrow pencil/pomade: If you use eyeshadow to set your eyebrows, you will need to set them with a wax or they would obviously wash away in monsoon. I would suggest using a pencil/pomade as they are more waxy and keep the eyebrows in place. I like the Maybelline Fashion Brow Duo Shaper
5. Waterproof Eyeliner & Mascara: Need I say more for this? You don’t want to end up with panda eyes, having eyeliner & mascara all around 😀 Maybelline Magnum Barbie is completely water proof!
6. Matte Liquid Lipsticks/Lip Crayons: Creamy lipsticks would bleed and be all over your face, if in case you get drenched. Matte liquid lipsticks are the safest bet and also they are very much in trend these days! I love Chambor Extreme Wear Transferproof Liquid Lipsticks & Colorbar Kiss Proof Liquid Lipsticks. Also Matte Lip crayons are a good option, I like the Maybelline Lip Gradation.
7. Loose Powder: Compact powder would slip in humid climate, but a loose mineral powder works well for monsoon. Also if you have baked your face and especially undereyes, it will stay put through the day! I am currently loving the Faces Mineral Loose Powder.
8. Makeup Setting Spray: And to set it all, a makeup setting spray. My favourite is the Colorbar Stay the Day Finishing Mist.
9. Bright Nail Paints: Wear all your reds, oranges, blues. Bright nails and monsoon go hand in hand.
So yes, with these changes in your makeup, you are all set to face the monsoon!
