What the Company claims: Cleans, removes make-up and soothes in one go.
SKIN TYPE: Normal
Product CONCERN: For women with sensitive eyes and skin.
Micellar technology captures impurities like a magnet to perfectly clean and remove make-up from sensitive skin without rubbing or rinsing.Gently cleansed, sensitive skin is perfectly clean with no discomfort or tightness.
The non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic formula has been tested under dermatological and ophthalmological control. Formulated for sensitive skin and eyes with physiological pH. Enriched with Vichy Thermal Spa Water, soothing, fortifying and regenerating.
The texture is kind to your sensitive skin and gently eliminates impurities and all traces of make-up. With no need to rinse off, this treatment limits rubbing for gentle make-up removal.
How to use: Apply using a cotton pad to face and eyes. Do not rinse off.
MRP: Rs.990/- for 200ml
Ingredients:
Another Micellar Cleansing water, remember I mentioned this Vichy one in the Bioderma review HERE.
Vichy Purete Thermale Spa 3 in 1 Calming Cleansing Micellar Solution (quite a mouthful) comes in this rectangular bottle packaging with a flip cap. The plastic bottle is slightly big and not very travel friendly.
I have been using this since quite some time now. It removes all of my makeup easily, especially melts the foundation and removes the lipstick in one go.
My only issue was the eye area again 🙁 Sadly how much ever I try and shut my eyes tight while removing my eye makeup, some remover seeps into the eye and the eyes start burning. Thankfully, this did not burn my eyes as much, but yes I couldn’t remove my kajal on the waterline with this too, as with other micellar waters.
Before (Worn Out Makeup) – After
The best thing is you need not wash your face, it is completely non sticky and non greasy. It is just like water, that melts all your makeup and removes it all. It is very calming and soothing and perfect for sensitive skin too.
Compared to Bioderma, this is slightly expensive. (Bioderma Sensibio is Rs.860/- fro 250ml) But both worked almost the same way for me. If you cannot get your hands on the Bioderma one or want to try something new, I would highly recommend you try this Vichy Purete Thermale Spa Micellar Solution.
Overall I would say, apart from my eye area, I loved it using on the face and it made removing makeup quite an ease. I would have preferred if it would come in smaller bottles and different variants.

Garnier White Complete Fairness Face Wash & Cream Review: #7DayGarnierChallenge
Hi guys,
So I took up the #7DayGarnierChallenge last week where I had to use the Garnier White Complete Fairness Face Wash and the Garnier Multi Action Fairness Cream for 7 days and see the results.
I finished my 7 days yesterday and here is my review.
About the face wash: Exposure to sun, pollution and harsh environmental conditions makes skin appear dull & dark.
Garnier White Complete Fairness Face wash is an effective daily face wash that helps you discover clear, radiant, and even complexion.
You get one tone fairer in one wash!
Ingredients:
MRP: Rs.140/- for 100g
About the cream: Get 3 tones fairer skin, in just 7 days
Enriched with natural ingredients, this formula provides instant whitening and long lasting fairness. Your skin looks even, feels fresh and moisturized with a natural glow.
Multi Action fairness cream for glowing skin :
1.Instant Whitening – provides instant whitening
2.Sun Protection with SPF 19 PA+++ – Protects skin from further darkening by harmful UVA and UVB sun rays
3.Long Lasting Fairness – Fairer skin over time with regular usage
Dermatologically tested – suitable for all skin types.
MRP: Rs.160/- for 40g
Ingredients:
I don’t generally review skin care before testing it for a minimum of 21-25 days but since this was a specific challenge for 7 days, I am doing it after exact 7 days.
I have used the previous Garnier Multi Action Fairness Cream and did not like that much, this new formula is quite better in terms of smell and texture and does not give that much of a whitish cast as the old formula did. The old formula used to just sit on the skin and not get absorbed, this is much better and does get absorbed into the skin. This provides SPF19 PA+++ protection too.
It comes in a small jar that is easy to carry and convenient to use. It is a white colored cream, not very thick but normal cream form. It is not very sticky or greasy and gets absorbed instantly. It does not hydrate much, girls with dry skin might need a richer moisturizer especially in winters. I think this will work better for oily to combination skin.
It comes with a shade card at the side of the carton and it did not give me 3 tones fairer skin obviously, but I did see brighter, matte skin and was a tone lighter which I guess was my tan that has now thankfully gone away coz of this combination.
Coming to the face wash, I love it. It is a white colored cream face wash which foams a lot. It removes all the dirt, basic makeup and gives refreshed, brighter skin. It foams really well, does not leave a slimy feeling behind and the skin feels super clean and translucent.
It is quite affordable and comes in smaller packs too, both the face wash and the cream.
L-R: Cream & Face Wash
I would say the combination of the face wash and cream definitely made my skin brighter and helped me get rid of the tan in just 7 continuous days and made it a shade it was originally. Both the cream and the face wash have lemon essence, which is the main ingredient that helps get rid of tan and brightens and tones the skin.
I challenge you all to use the Garnier White Complete Multi Action Fairness Cream for just 7 days and let me know what you feel about it, either here in the comments below or anywhere on my social media tagging me with the #7DayGarnierChallenge.
Get your free sample here http://7daygarnierchallenge.com/, fill in your details and my name at the end and after 7 days, you can share your experience. One of you whose answer we like wins a surprise Garnier hamper!
I am back with the 3 casual outfits’ post. See more HERE and HERE.
This time, I covered three outfits which I wore to events/meets recently.
Outfit 1:
It is the same outfit I wore HERE, this time with different accessories and bag. I love this floral midi skirt and since it has red roses, this red crop top matches perfectly with the skirt.
I paired it with a simple gold statement necklace and my Daniel Wellington watch. The highlight of this outfit is this beautiful Suede by Devina Juneja wristlet. The Shaded Ring Weave Wristlet is made with lightly hand-shaded leather in subtle gold and silver. I love the shaded ombre effect and the gold chain is perfect to replace your bracelet. It is easy to carry around and looks so pretty.
I wore this at the The Body Shop Fuji Green Tea Range launch recently. Did you guys see the vlog yet? Go HERE.
Crop top: HERE
Skirt: HERE
Watch: Daniel Wellington
Wristlet: HERE
Shoes: Shown HERE and HERE
On my lips: MAC Ruby Woo
Outfit 2:
The 2nd and 3rd are more casual ones, I am loving my new Levi’s 711 Skinny and living in them practically. I love how these are super comfortable. I always stayed away from skinny jeans coz I am neither thin nor tall for the skinny jeans to look good on me, Levi’s changed it all for me! I still can’t believe this skinny jeans not only flatters my body but make my legs look slender and nice. This is the first skinny jeans I absolutely love and they have other ranges like 311 Shaping Skinny and 312 Shaping Slim which look even more flattering and I can’t wait to try those.
I paired the skinny with my simple white tee and a black and beige Himachal print jacket. The jacket is currently on sale and only worth Rs.448/-! It is perfect for your dresses too and adds a light layer and keeps you warm. Since the entire look was more or less monochrome, I added a bright pop of color with my current favourite orange bucket bag. Bucket bags are back, ladies! I love how this bag is huge and fits my world in it (including my camera) and I carry it along comfortably. I love the orange and golden tassels hanged on the straps. The only thing is, I wish it came with a longer strap too, which usually comes with a bucket bag and makes it more convenient to carry. I finished the look with gold strappy flat sandals by Do Bhai from Myntra.
Denims: Levi’s
Watch: Daniel Wellington
Bag: StalkBuyLove
Tee: Marks & Spencer
Jacket: Oxolloxo
Sandals: Do Bhai (Myntra)
Outfit 3:
The third one is a simple, everyday outfit. A basic aztec print top with roll over sleeves, paired with Levi’s 711 Skinny again. I completed the look with a Daniel Wellington watch, black fringed bag and black studded ballerinas.
August month of Fab Bag is ‘Cast A Spell’ edition, which is Fairy Tale and Princessy theme.
MRP: Rs.599/- for 1 month
This time it is a metallic pink textured bag, a pretty bag though not something you can carry out, but good for travel yet again. All the Fab Bags are very multi-purpose and perfect for travel.
Contents of my August Fab Bag:
Divo Eyelash Curler- Full size (Rs.125/-)
Fran Wilson MoodMatcher Green Lipstick- Full size (Rs.590/-)
Roots Professional Morocvita Oil- 5ml (Full size Rs.2000/- for 120ml)
Ital Veloce Body Mist Summer Snowflakes -12ml (Rs.499/- for 210ml)
Bioderma Photoderm MAT SPF30- 5ml x 2 (Rs.1330/- for 40ml)
Overall, I would say I am quite happy with the eyelash curler and the moodmatcher lipstick, though it is not obviously worth Rs.590/-. The Ital Veloce Body Mist smells amazing and will be in my handbag now onwards.
I love the Roots Morocvita oil too, 5ml serum should last some time and I have another similar 5ml sample. Not very happy with the Bioderma small sample of sunscreen, but I am glad that at least they have included two samples coz one would be a total waste. I like Bioderma as a brand though and happy with the products.
I prefer deluxe sized samples and full sized products in a subscription box/bag. Though its a good bag, I would have loved a bigger sample of the Morocvita oil and Bioderma sunscreen, or maybe some other deluxe sized samples.
I would still recommend this month’s bag for a good mix of products and also an eyelash curler! Do book your bag for August if you haven’t already.

First Impression: OxyLife Natural Radiance Creme Bleach
Hi guys,
There are so many times we feel our skin looks dull and lacks that inner glow. We all need that glow, right 😉 Especially before an important event or a party.
Does your skin lack glow and looks dull and dark? Has uneven skin tone? Often exposed to harsh sunlight,dirt and pollution? Well chances are it lacks oxygen.
With age, your skin loses its ability to retain and utilise oxygen for normal metabolic processes. Oxygen basically nurtures and energizes your skin, making it look hydrated, plumper and younger!
And how can you get oxygen into your skin? This new bleach OxyLife can help.
Powered with the patented OxySphere Technology developed in Germany, OxyLife bleach gives a radiance that a regular facial can never give.
How does OxySphere Technology work?
Enables pure oxygen molecules to be trapped in the product
Oxygen is released from the product at the time of application
Oxygen molecules go inside the skin to give a high boost of pure oxygen
What does OxyLife bleach claim: BECAUSE THAT GLOW ON YOUR FACE IS PRICELESS! Presenting, the original oxygen bleach that makes you look radiant in just 15 minutes – OxyLife. Enriched with active oxygen and post-bleach skin radience serum, OxyLife solves 5 fairness problems like-dark spots, uneven skin tone, dull skin, dead skin cells and sun tan.
What does OxyLife bleach do to your skin?
When OxyLife bleach is applied on the skin, pure oxygen is released.The scientifically formulated bleach has micro structurants which help prevent the released oxygen from escaping into the atmosphere. The oxygen carries active ingredients into your skin, brightens, nourishes, energizes and protects, giving you naturally radiant skin instantly!
How I use:
Wash face with plain water and pat dry.
Take crème bleach and powder activator in the ratio of 7:1.
Using the spatula, mix the activator and crème for a good 2 minutes till the powder activator dissolves completely.
Apply the mixture on the area to be bleached. Avoid application on eyebrows and around the eyes.
Allow it to remain for 10-12 minutes
Wash off with cold water.
Apply the post-bleach skin radiance serum on the bleached area
MRP: Rs. 35/- for 7g (1 use), Rs. 80/- for 27g (3 uses)
My skin needed that oxygen or that glow, it was starting to look dull of late. So I thought why not give this a try. Also OxyLife Natural Radiance Creme Bleach is ammonia free, that gave me another reason to try it out.
OxyLife Bleach will help get rid of all your dead skin cells, tan and make the frizz on the face lighter in turn giving you a fresh, glowing look.
I tried the single use pack of OxyLife Natural Radiance Creme Bleach, I feel the single use pack is better as it comes pre-measured and there is no risk of too much cream or activator.
The post bleach skin radiance serum is transparent and gel like in texture. It glides on smoothly on the face and gives a dewy finish to the skin.
My skin looked fresh and radiant, I could see a visible difference. I have a bit of fuzz too, so with that being light and the tan and dead cells gone,my skin looked amazing. I believe the effect would easily last for 2-3 weeks.
Absolutely loved the OxyLife Natural Radiance Creme Bleach and recommend it. For people who regularly bleach, you can try this out next and for people who want to get into bleaching, start with something mild like this one.
I am not into regular bleaching but whenever I do, I will prefer OxyLife Bleach, definitely #SayYesToOxygen
Have you tried the OxyLife Natural Radiance Creme Bleach? What do you think of it?

With 6 matte and 10 creme shades and in crayon form, it looks interesting. These are priced at Rs.650/- which is pretty decent. I am really looking forward to the matte shades coz I absolutely love the Lakme Absolute Sculpt High Definition Matte Lipsticks. Victorian Rose and Pink Fantasy look the most interesting to me.
What do you think of the new Lakme Absolute Lip Pouts?
Revlon recently launched their Nearly Naked Makeup range in Mumbai last month where got to see the products and try them first hand and also we learnt a few things about the ingredients, etc and the celebrity Makeup Artist Bianca Harkopf told us more about the foundation and how she uses it. I have been using the foundation and powder since some time and here are my two cents on it.
Revlon Nearly Naked Makeup
What the Company claims: The ultimate lightweight makeup! Formulated with weightless pigments, this refreshingly light formula melts right in creating a fresh, even complexion. Works in harmony with your skin to cover flaws and perfect tone and texture.
Key features:
Naturally flawless complexion
Creates a fresh, even look and covers flaws
Blends seamlessly with buildable coverage for a natural finish
SPF20
Has green tea, black tea, oatmeal and jojoba oil
MRP: Rs.750/- for 30ml
Shades Available: 3
Shell- For light skin tones
Fresh Beige- For medium skin tones
True Beige- For darker skin tones
I have also recorded a video talking about both the Foundation and Powder and also has a demo.
Revlon Nearly Naked Makeup i.e. the Liquid Foundation comes in a square glass bottle packaging with a white cap, and unfortunately, without a pump. So one has to dispense the product directly from the bottle and it gets very messy and unhygienic and also leads to wastage of product. The glass bottle is also not travel friendly.
It is neither too thick nor too runny and blends easily on the skin. It gives a dewy finish and coverage wise it gives light to medium coverage. As the range goes ‘Nearly Naked’, it is true to its name and gives a nice, even , dewy skin and lets the skin breathe without clogging the pores but yet smoothens out the pores. It is ‘My Skin But Better’ kind of finish.
It stays for about 7-8 hours easily but I need to powder the T-zone and oily skin will need 1-2 touch ups with powder through the day. I love dewy finish and usually skip powders, so I absolutely love the finish of this. If you have heavy dark circles or acne scars, you will need to cover those with a separate concealer.
I have the shades Shell and Fresh Beige here. Fresh Beige is a good match for me.
L: Shell, R: Fresh Beige
I have used only the foundation here in this Before – After pic
Before – After
It has SPF 20, which is an added benefit if you are indoors or forgot using your sunscreen, though SPF 20 is not enough and does not replace your sunscreen. Even though this foundation has SPF, it photographs really well and does not give a whitish cast in pictures. Also it does not oxidize much, but does adjust to your skin tone in some time.
I even skipped the moisturizer and my skin did not feel dry at all, it is quite hydrating. It would work for all skin types with a little touch up for oily skin. Overall, it is perfect for everyday use for light to medium coverage. It is priced very economically and would last quite some time.

Revlon Nearly Naked Pressed Powder
What the Company claims: Makeup so refreshingly light it melts right in, creating a fresh, even look. Our pressed powder blends so seamlessly with such a lightweight feel, you may forget you’re wearing any makeup at all.
• Evens skin tone
• Non-cakey formula provides a shine-free finish
• Available in 3 shades for varying skin tones
MRP: Rs.725/- for 8g
Shades Available: 3
Fair
Medium
Medium Deep
Revlon Nearly Naked Pressed Powder comes in a long, rectangular white packaging. It has a see through round plastic on top where one can see the powder which will not be a very pretty sight once it is half used :/ It has a small rectangular mirror on one side and a tiny rectangular puff on the powder side.
I am not very happy with the packaging, not at all travel friendly and the tiny puff is impossible to use on the entire face unless you spend a lot of time. The classic, round packaging would have still been better!
L- R: Fair, Medium Deep
The texture of this powder is what compensates the packaging. It is soft as butter and super creamy, it does not feel like a powder at all. You will not even get the usual stray powder when you dip a brush in it as it on the creamier side unlike other dry powders.
The coverage is quite light but it does even out the skin tone and mattify the skin. It also smoothens the pores and gives the face a polished look, which is seen in very few powders. My Inglot AMC Pressed Powder was one such creamy powder.
L: Medium Deep, R: Fair
I prefer using a brush as it takes forever with this tiny sponge. I have the shades Fair and Medium Deep. I thought Medium would be a better match for me and Fair will be very light. But since the coverage is not very high, Fair did work well and it did not look very light. I am going to try using the Medium Deep for contouring, would let you know how it works.
At Rs.725/-, this one is priced slightly higher but the quantity and quality is quite good. I would have definitely preferred better packaging though.
Overall I would say if you are looking for a daily use pressed powder but which is not drying and gives a nice, creamy finish and evens out the skin tone or something to set your makeup, you should check the Revlon Nearly Naked Pressed Powder.
To sum it up, I am very happy with both the Foundation and the Powder, only not happy with the packaging and less number of shades. I would say go and try it out at the store and find your perfect match. If you are medium skin toned, then both the Powder and Foundation in Medium & Fresh Beige respectively would work for you.

What do you think about the Revlon Nearly Naked Range?
Just yesterday I was thinking how a decade ago we were super happy with our 3210 and 3310 cell phones where all we could do was talk and send/receive SMS. Coming back to today, where apps like Whatsapp and Facebook/Twitter are a necessity and taking pictures everyday on our smart phone is a daily practice, that goes without saying.
I think our generation on an average clicks about 10 pictures daily on their smart phone, especially selfies! And if you are a blogger, you have to click 6-7 pictures at least to get that perfect selfie.
Now makeup and hair obviously play a very important role in your selfie if you are a girl. Your hair need not be all polished and glam, but a simple hairstyle and no frizz is perfect. When it comes to makeup, bright lips and evened base is all you need, you can also define your eyes with a liner/kohl if you feel like.
Another most important thing for a perfect selfie is lighting! If you have good lighting, don’t miss a chance to click selfie 😀 Don’t face the sun directly as that would lead to over brightness. You can stand opposite the window, or you can take a selfie in the car.
I absolutely love car selfies. Since it is covered from the top there is no chance of direct sunlight and the car window gives you required amount of lighting. I never miss a chance to click a selfie while in the car. Pro tip: Always hold the camera a bit higher than your face level.
And one thing which is absolutely essential is of course a good smart phone with an excellent camera. Now my phone has a terrible front camera and hence I have to use the rear camera which is not very selfie friendly obviously as I cannot see the perfect angle or how the picture is getting clicked.
I have been on the lookout for a phone with a good front camera since a long time. I stumbled upon the Asus Zenfone Selfie and I am blown away!! Why, you ask? 13MP front and rear camera and dual flash on both the cameras, 0.3s Laser Ultra Fast Auto-Focus rear camera.
The front camera has f/2.2-aperture, 88-degree wide-angle lens and with the unique Selfie Panorama mode, you will be able to shoot selfies with an outlook of up to 140 degrees — so everything and everyone is part of your shot!! More group selfies, yay! And no one will be missed out or half cut now onwards 🙂
Not only that, the front camera also has HDR mode, so every selfie can be a perfect selfie now and if not, we can always use the Beautification Mode 😉 The Beautification Mode enhances your features and corrects blemishes all in real time, you can adjust the effectiveness of the features and just go clicking.
Macro focusing down to 6cm means perfect product shots including the yummy food pictures. It also has a rear selfie button which now makes it easier to click without shaking the phone or blurring the image.
It comes in super pretty colors like Pure White, Chic Pink and Aqua Blue. I am so loving the Aqua Blue. I don’t think I have to stress more on how this is perfect phone for selfies and clicking pictures!! Clicking pictures are an essential in my life, being a blogger and I definitely need a phone like this. I am surely getting this. What about you?

It’s been a long time that I did a favourites post and since I am doing YouTube videos now and was doing a July Favourites video, I thought of doing a post too along with.
Here are some of the products I have been loving a lot in July:
1. Kerastase Elixir Ultime Beautifying Oil Cream
It is so light in texture, lighter than the Kerastase Elixir Ultime Oil and you just need a pea sized amount of it. It controls most of my frizz and also gives the hair a nice shine. (Full Review HERE)
2. The Body Shop Satsuma Body Sorbet
This one I reviewed just yesterday, I had been using this a lot in summers too. I absolutely love the citrus burst and the light feel of it when I don’t want heavy, rich moisturizers on my body in this hot, humid climate. (Full Review HERE)
3. Za Perfect Fit Liquid Foundation
Again something water based and very light in texture. It lets your skin breathe and you won’t even realize you are wearing a foundation and still get even skin tone and light coverage, plus a nice illuminating finish. (Full Review HERE)
4. Maybelline The Colossal Liner
Maybelline HyperSharp liner was my all time favourite, untill Maybelline India launched the new Maybelline The Colossal Liner. I absolutely love the tip and how it gives a perfect winged line and precise control. I have been using only this since the past 2-3 months and sometimes gel liners when I have a little more time. (Full Review HERE)
5. Maybelline ColorShow Lipsticks
Maybelline’s new ColorShow Lipsticks are just perfect and a total value for money. At Rs.299/- for 3.9g and 32 shades ranging from pinks to reds to oranges and browns, these are apt for daily wear for office or college or just about anywhere. I love the shade Cherry Crush followed by Red Rush. Red Rush is the shade I am wearing here in the video. I am looking forward to try the shade Midnight Pink too. (Review and Swatches HERE)
6. Sudio Sweden Klang Earphones
And last but not the least, my new Sudio Sweden Klang white and gold earphones. I forgot to include them in the video, but these are something I have been hooked on to from the past 7-8 days and would be hooked on to for a long time to come 😀 These are absolutely fantastic, the sound quality is beyond amazing. Klang works best for iPhone (does work on my Android equally well) and has one cord longer than the other, and the longer one goes behind your neck for the stay-in-ear function. The cords are made of very good quality too and yes, these never get entangled ever 🙂
Guarantee Card, 4 sizes of pods and a clipper, Leather Case, Owner’s Manual
It comes with a guarantee card, leather case for storage, 4 different sizes of pods and a clipper. One can adjust the sound and mic with the three buttons on the cord. Sudio earphones are total value for money and come in a range of classy colors. I love this white and gold combination the most, followed by black.
What are you current favourites? Do we share any common favourites? Do let me know in the comments below 🙂
Stylish, practical and s*xy skirts come as a relief from the usual jeans and top/kurtis, or trousers and shirts. You can wear them to work, official meetings, get-together with friends, dinners and more. This garment is also a perfect gifting option for friends. But if you are not very sure about their size, just get them gift cards for women’s apparels from premium brands and let them shop for the skirt type that best suits their body type.
It is very important that you understand the type of skirts that look good on you, certainly not all skirts are meant for everyone. This way you can have a good collection of skirts from the same category that are worth flaunting.
Let’s go through the different types of skirts to select the one that suits you the best.
A-Line Skirt
An A-line skirt is narrow at the waist and then widens evenly as it reaches the hem. It can be ankle length, calf-length or knee length. They are ideal for all body types and can be worn for all casual and semi-formal settings, but not suitable for formal events. Their shape resembles the letter A.
Pencil Skirt
If you have a skinny or slim body-type, then it’s time to make the most of it by sporting a nice well-fitted pencil skirt. They tend to hug the thighs and legs closely. They are ideal for formal meetings and everyday office wear.
Flared skirt
If you have heavy derriere, flared skirts are great in hiding all those unduly bulges and make you look smart. These are A-line skirts with an extra flare for that stylish look.
Fishtail Skirt
Fishtail or Mermaid skirts are tightly fitted at the waist and around the hips and tend to get narrow at the knees, and then flare out from the knees. They are perfect for those women who wish to emphasise on their backs and look taller.
Wrap Skirt
For casual wear to a lunch with friends or a movie, you can also opt for wrap-skirts. These lightly flared skirts wrap around the waist and the leg part and overlap at any side you desire. Generally made of cotton, these skirts can be fastened by a tie or a button.
Pleated Skirt
Pleated skirts are widely worn by many women across the globe. The pleated detailing of these skirts is an element of tailoring that makes it look chic and trendy. High waist midi-style skirts are made to flatter any figure.
Peasant Skirt
Peasant skirts are pretty much similar to the broomstick skirts (of course without the wrinkles). If timeless style and appeal is what you are looking for, peasant skirts have a lot to offer. Just pair them with a fitted top and you are good to go for any casual or semi-casual event.
So ladies, there are so many types of skirts available in the market, just pick the right styles meant for your body type. Shop for yourself or get your younger sister a nice floral skirt on her birthday.
