What the Company claims: This exclusive i-Divine Palette* is inspired by Arabian fantasy, seduction and warm rich colours. The deep tones of green, blue and gold melt together, forming beautiful smoky effects, suited to all skin tones.

MRP: $11.99

How to: Create mysterious eyes:

Gold Souk can be applied on the eye lid as a base for every look
Shimmery shade Scheherazade’s Tale can be applied to the inner corners to brighten the face and widen eyes
Blend darker shades Valley of Diamonds or 1001 Nights along the eye socket to contour and add definition to your eyes.

Top Row:

Scheherazade’s Tale: Satin finish rosy bronze. Almost cream like finish.

Gold Souk: Metallic yellow gold with glittery finish. You need to pat and layer it like you do with pigments.

Sultan’s Garden: Soft smokey green with green and gold shimmer

Hocus Pocus: Metallic jewel medium-green. Super smooth and pigmented.

Simbad’s Seas: Bold rich deep bluish purple. Super duper pigmented. Reminds me of L’Oreal Paris Infallible Mono in All Night Blue

Kaya Purifying Spot Corrector Review

Hey guys,

Today I am reviewing something which we all are forever searching for- a spot acne corrector! Don’t we all hate those sudden unwanted zits and acne ? And that just before an important function/event!

What the Company claims: The Kaya Purifying Spot Corrector dries up blemishes overnight, calms inflammation. Deeply exfoliates and unclogs skin pores.

How To Use: Cleanse skin. Open pen to dispense the product onto the pen tip and dab onto affected areas twice daily.

Can be used alone or under makeup.

Ingredients: Zinc Sulfate: An essential mineral for healthy skin, zinc acts as an astringent and helps in the treatment of acne. Salicylic Acid: A Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) which targets oil in hair follicles, exfoliates pores and clears the comedones. Glycolic Acid: A naturally occurring Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) from sugar canes. Acts as an exfoliator, it penetrates through the cell walls, resulting in smoother and clearer skin. Camphor: Provides a cooling effect on the skin. Witch Hazel: Produced from the leaves and bark of the North American witch hazel shrub. It is a strong anti-oxidant and astringent, which makes it very useful in fighting acne.

MRP: Rs.849/- for 8ml

I have something to your rescue! This spot corrector is God sent. I had not started using this and suddenly I got this super painful big pimple on my cheek. And I thought, lets give this a try, if it actually works.

I used it twice a day. Just dab the applicator on the pimple. Within 2 days, the pimple subsided and the pain gone! Within 3-4 days, it was completely gone and in about a week, the scar started fading too. I know for a fact that it takes ages on my skin for a pimple to settle and the scar to fade.

Man, this thing works! Its like magic. The main ingredients are Salicylic Acid, Zinc Sulfate, Glycolic Acid and Witch Hazel extracts which together work against the acne first, tones that area, disinfects and also exfoliate the area faster leading to regeneration of skin quickly.

When you open the bottle to apply, you can smell the strong camphor fragrance. It sometimes may sting if the pimple is squeezed or the skin is open/has crack. Its a clear water like liquid.

The applicator is easy to use too. Only thing is it does’nt feel very good to dip the same used thing inside, I tried using it with fingers 1-2 times, but was not very comfortable.

Its slightly on the expensive side, but I have been using it so regularly twice a day and have not even finished 20% of it, so I would say its value for money! Also coz you just need very little only for that selected area.

Overall I would say, it really works and is a must have for all girls who get those annoying break outs in between or you are a bride to be, like me! (You surely don’t want unwanted zits and all scars healed, if there is, before your D Day)

Rating- 5/5 (I actually thought but could’nt find any con except the availability. But now Kaya products are available online too)

Have you tried any Acne spot Correctors ? Do they work for you ?Which do you like ?

PrettySecrets.com Haul and Experience

Hey everyone,

So I had to stock on some basic essentials for my bridal trousseau. I did most of my lingerie shopping during the Marks & Spencer sale. But still, I can’t resist shopping online whenever I see something good.

ABOUT PRETTYSECRETS: PrettySecrets.com is India’s premium online lingerie store featuring sexy & trendy collection of bras, panties, lingerie sets, nightwear, swimwear, activewear & women dresses. Shop with us and get the latest styles of women lingerie & apparel delivered at your doorstep. You can order women innerwear on COD, and get benefits like discreet packaging, easy exchanges & returns. Enjoy the best online lingerie shopping experience at PrettySecrets.com!

Easy Returns Policy, Free Shipping Above Rs.750/-, Rs.50 extra shipping charges below that. Cash on Delivery available at Rs.50/- extra.

I actually was searching for a backless bra or one with transparent straps at the back for deep back cholis and dresses. Not really silicone cups, but something which sticks to the side and something which can be used for a longer time, not the disposable ones, coz they turn out too expensive.

If you come across one with transparent straps at the back, then do let me know.

I did see extenders on PrettySecrets but then they were not taking the straps too down, hardly 1-2 inches, which did not fulfill the purpose.

I chose this set of 3 basic cotton panties and this super s*xy Pink and Blue wave print Full Cover Invisi-Bra. Both are super comfy and soft and easy to wear.

I have usually always worn seamless bras, coz I never liked those seams showing up. So this one was perfect, as it was seamless, is convertible, very soft light padding (hate thick ones), underwired yet comfortable. Loved the design and print too.

I liked their overall collection. They also have Buy 2 Get 1 Free and many other offers (See HERE) and some hot designs. I received my stuff within 4-5 days of ordering and it was pretty smooth to order. Also liked the pink box packaging. Everything was nicely packed with 2-3 layers, etc.

I only wish they did not have the extra charges for COD. Somehow I don’t like it, when sites charge extra for COD. Customers should be given that option for free. And also if they stocked on more backless and convertible options and different kinds of extenders which we get outside India.

Overall I am happy with the site and experience and the stuff I ordered. I am definitely shopping again. Do check out PrettySecrets.com

Have you shopped from PrettySecrets.com before ? Where do you shop your lingerie from ? Any site for backless bras ?

P.S: I got a voucher to shop for, but that has not affected my opinion.

Moroccanoil Hair Spa Experience

Hey guys,

Few days back I was invited for the Moroccanoil Hair Spa experiental at the Renee Melek Salon in Bandra. I have had the chance to experience the Moroccanoil Hair Spa before at The Taj Palace Salon in Colaba. So I know how good it feels and was more than happy to try it out.

The owner Renee herself checked my hair and recommended the intense hydrating treatment for my hair. (Since this time my hair was more dry than my previous experience)

My hair was first washed with the Moroccanoil Hydrating Shampoo.

Funny me- after the wash :p

And then a mix of Moroccanoil Serum and Intense Hydrating Mask was applied on my hair all over, in parts. Its a mix of 1 pump and 1 spoonful of mask.

It was followed by a relaxing massage and steam.

Then the hair was washed again, this time only with water. Followed by a blow dry.

Here are some before-after pics.

Front
Back

My hair felt super soft to touch and I could feel the hydration in the hair, as it had turned a little dry of late. And even after a serum and mask were used, it was quite light and bouncy. It did not weigh my hair down. Hair stayed hydrated for a week or so. I also got this Moroccanoil Light Serum which I am currently using and testing out. Would review soon.

There are different Moroccanoil Hydrating Treatments and options.The Price of Moroccanoil Hydrating treatment – ranges from Rs. 2300 – Rs. 2700 depending on length and thickness of hair. Prices are inclusive of tax.

I have always had a good experience with Moroccanoil hair spa treatment till now. Have you tried it yet ?

P.S: Services were provided by the brand but it has not affected my opinion.

Philips Essential Care Air Straightener HP8658 Review

What the Company claims: Get naturally straight hair using this ‘HP8658 – Essential Care Air straightener’ from Philips. This straightener also takes care of your hair with its ThermoProtect temperature. Gentle drying and styling offered by this straightener will impress modern women.

Other specifications:

  • 650W for best results
  • Paddle straightening brush for naturally straight look
  • 2 flexible heat and speed settings for more control
  • 1.8 m cord for maximum flexibility
  • 2 years worldwide guarantee

MRP: Rs.1695/-

I love the pink and white color to begin with. It has a separate head and handle, which can be joined and removed easily whenever required, and is quite convenient to store and carry around. You just need to attach and turn for the head to lock in, and unlock and detach with just a button.

Its not exactly a hair straightener, but a hair dryer cum comb with which you can dry and comb your wet hair at the same time, and give it a straighter,sleeker, blow dried look.

Comes with

It has two heat settings, one low heat and the other high heat. I usually prefer low heat on a day to day normal basis. I love the fact that I do not need a separate hair dryer, and I can dry my hair making it more sleeker with this. It also helps in controlling somewhat frizz.

Twist and Interlock, Press Button and Detach

It gives a nice, smooth, straight look. Blow drying and styling hair at a salon costs anywhere around Rs.1000-2000/-. You can achieve a similar, if not the same (obviously) look with a one time investment like this.

This is how paddle brush looks. See the gap in between is from where the hot air blows

It works for dry hair too, in detangling the knots and giving a smoother appearance, but I would recommend the low heat setting on dry hair.

Two Heat Settings

I also love the fact that it comes with a 2 years worldwide guarantee. (which I guess most of Philips products are)

Styling
Instructions

Here is how the hair looks after drying completely and using it for 10 minutes. I usually am in a hurry, so did not use it for a longer time, it would give a more sleeker look with longer duration.

In Process
After Hair

It also comes in a KeraShine version i.e HP8659 (priced at Rs.2395/-) with ion technology and ceramic plates that helps even more in frizz by controlling and relaxing the static hair. I wanted to try the KeraShine one. If you are someone who has frizzy hair, or are ready to spend a few extra bucks, go for the KeraShine one.

And if you are someone, who would like to try this out, or don’t wish to spend much coz you are not sure if it will work that good for you (its super easy, so that should not be an issue though), you can go for this normal Essential Care Air Straightener.

Rating- 3.75/5 (KeraShine would be +0.25)

Have you tried/wish to try the new Philips Essential Care Hair Straightener ?

MeMeBox Review: ColourBox #1 Red

So, I too jumped into the MeMeBox bandwagon (if you don’t know what it is about, go HERE), though I have tons and tons of things to do away with right now. (New place,shifting, etc after marriage) I am not buying anything new these days. But I wanted to try the MeMeBox since I had been hearing a lot about it.

About MeMeBox: Memebox is the #1 Korean beauty online retailer in the world.

Many of our products are sourced, packaged, and shipped, directly from Korea straight to your doorstep.

We also have a range of USA Exclusives, which include products most-loved by our USA customers – these ship directly from our USA warehouse.

We ship to 51 countries internationally: see if yours is on the list.

At Memebox, we’re committed to bringing you only the best – we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.

They have 2-3 different kind of boxes, Original and Superbox.

The original Memebox comes packed with 4 – 8 full-sized products and deluxe samples.

SUPERBOX

Each Superbox comes with its own theme, and contains only full-sized items. Each month, we team up with style icons to curate special Superboxes featuring each collaborator’s favorite items – keep an eye on these, they sell out fast!

Also there are different boxes for different themes, and you have one for everything from scrubs to skin type to favourite color to hair care,etc.

Its been a long long time I ordered this, sorry for the delay in reviewing. I am running behind schedule on everything coz I am caught up with shopping and other stuff too. I got the ColourBox, they had three colours: red, orange and pink options if I am not wrong. (They have added a new Blue too) I went for the Red one.

About the Red Colour Box: Hey foxy ladies! Dare to step out of your comfort zone with our Memebox Red and vamp up your style with a dramatic, rosy red look? Add vibrance and vividness to your eyes and lips with a bold red hue, slip on those stiletto heels, and be that femme fatale that we all know you are.

It comes in a nice red colored packaging and 5 full sized products with details of each.

What I got in my box:

  • Dearberry Flirt Lipstick in 08 Red Parade ($12)
  • L’Ocean Eyeshadow L-35 Red 4g ($10)
  • The Cheek Room Two Color Lip Gloss 8ml ($12) (Super cute)
  • Tosowoong Gel Pencil Liner 1.2g in Burgundy ($10)
  • Dearberry Today Nail Lacquer #21 Pink Sprinkling 10 ml ($3)

The Dearberry red lipstick is an absolutely amazing and flattering red. The Cheek Room lipgloss is the cutest I have seen, did not own a two colour lipgloss ever. I love the nail paint shade too. I wont be using the red eyeshadow as an eyeshadow, I think it will make a pretty blush.

The best thing in the box is the Tosowong Makeon Burgundy gel eyeliner pencil. Always wanted to try a gel eye pencil which is quite famous in Korean makeup. Its a nice reddish brown burgundy color.

Having paid $15+ $7 = $22, I get $47 worth of products which is an amazing deal! And all MeMeBoxes are so worth it, coz you get much more value of products than what you pay. One actual beauty box where you end up getting something unlike small 5ml samples.

Since it was only one box, I was not charged with customs. But I have heard about few others having to pay huge customs, so that is one deterrent. If you do not stay in Mumbai and there are’nt much customs issues, you should definitely try this. Or I did suggest order one at a time, and not 2-3 together coz that definitely attracts customs.

You can buy it HERE (Its currently sold out, but they may stock soon). Also check out other boxes which are equally amazing.

Have you tried the MeMeBox yet ? Which is your favourite box ? Do share with me in the comments below, so that I can check them too 😀

Revlon Highlighting Palette Bronze Glow Review, Swatches

Remember I mentioned about Revlon’s new Cheek Boutique i.e the new Powder Blushes and Highlighting Palette HERE.

I was one of the winners of Revlon’s Travel look contest and got the highlighting palette Bronze Glow too as a part of the prize. Though the poor thing got completely smashed in the courier.

What the Company claims: Revlon Highlighting Palette for an all over sun kissed glow. Complimentary shimmer shades blend to enhance the complexion for a radiant sun kissed look.
Enhances and illuminates the complexion
Gives a multi-dimensional sculpted look
Easy to blend, buildable color

MRP: Rs.950/- for 7.5g

Shades Available: Rose Glow, Bronze Glow, Peach Glow (I love the Bronze the most)

This is how it looked after some cleaning.

Almost like those Bobbi Brown Shimmer Bricks and The Body Shop highlighters, but less shimmery. I like my highlighters less shimmery, we aint no shiny disco balls :p

Though it does look a little too shimmery in the pan, but upon swatching, it comes out a beautiful rosy bronze. It has 5 strips, one is white, and the other 4 are shades of bronze, copper, pink bronze and pink copper. So all blended together, it gives our a nice bronze with a pink sheen which looks beautiful on our warm skin tones.

Top- Individual, Bottom- Blended

Though if you are on the lighter side, I would recommend checking out Rose Glow and Peach Glow. But for medium Indian skin tones, Bronze Glow is just perfect.

It stays on for 6-7 hours and slowly fades but does not go away completely. Also works for highlighting the brow bone and inner corners of the eyes. I use it on the bridge of the nose and cupid’s bow too for that little pout effect.

Its pigmented and buildable, easy to use coz you can build it slowly, won’t make you look funny even if you are new to highlighters and blushes.

Though its on the expensive side, it does offer good quantity and quality. I would have liked it to be priced around Rs.750-800/-. Sadly wee do not have good highlighters available in India, so if you are looking for a good highlighter from an Indian brand and that is easily available, this is one of the few options.

I did expect better and sturdier packaging though, this is not at all travel friendly. You can see the condition of the smashed palette.

Overall, I do like it and recommend it. I love highlighters and this is one of my current favourites.

Rating: 3.75/5 (-0.25 for the packaging)

A candy orange sling was the perfect bright accessory to break the monochrome. My Classic St. Andrews Lady Daniel Wellington stacked up with a spiked and pearl bracelet completed the look.

My new shoes! How I love them <3 Black suede block heels with metallic gold ankle strap went well with the outfit. I wore them to Lakme Fashion Week and everyone complimented the shoes and asked where are they from :p They are so versatile and match with everything. Plus super comfy.

The Mumbai Bride Diaries: Bikini Wax or Bikini Laser?

The Mumbai Bride Diaries: Bikini Wax or Bikini Laser?

Hey guys,

With around 2 plus (few days) months left for the wedding, I was contemplating whether to go for bikini wax or bikini laser hair reduction, coz its its laser, the sessions take time as there is a gap of around 1-1.5 months in between each session.

All of my friends until now have gone for bikini wax before their wedding or otherwise. And most of them still continue to do so, every single month! I have no idea how they bear the pain :/ I have never tried bikini wax and even the thought of it scares me!

One of my cousin and aunt had got the bikini laser hair reduction done from Kaya Skin Clinic and recommended the same to me.

Two things that need to be kept in mind for bikini laser are:

  • Cost involved
  • And its hair reduction, not removal

That is, hair reduces and there is very less/minimal growth but not complete removal in laser.

Bikini wax also has few issues like not every salon does it, unbearable pain and going through it every single month! And bikini wax at a good salon also costs anywhere around Rs.700/- to Rs. 1200/-

After contemplating the pros and cons, I decided to go for bikini laser hair reduction at Kaya Skin Clinic. Also, coz I have already experienced the underarm laser hair reduction at Kaya. Currently, bikini laser costs Rs.27,000/- for 6 sessions. They also have bikini+underarms combos which turns out more economical.

I already started with the first session last week. The area is marked and the doctor checks and gives the reading. Then the area marked is shaved. Unlike in underarm laser, they use an anesthetic cream (Prilox) that is to be kept for 45 minutes before the bikini laser starts.

One session takes about 1 hour 15 minutes in total. And there can be a gap of 1-1.5 months in between 2 sessions depending on the growth.

The laser does prick at few places and you can smell the burning hair roots, but its not unbearable kinds. And the pain is not continuous. You feel nothing at few places and a little more pain at few, especially the most sensitive part. (you know where)

They apply an ice pack after the laser is done, followed by a cream. I got some redness but it subsided in a day. You will feel the urge to pee immediately, but control for 5-10 minutes.

Post care is the same:

  • Use a moisturizer every 3-4 hours. Do not let the skin feel dry.
  • Do not wax.
  • Do not use soap, gel, etc on that area for 1-2 days
  • No swimming for a week

One thing to be kept in mind is, you can get the session done 10 days after your periods have ended.

I do see some growth which I was told, I will, the same case as in underarms. But most of those hair automatically fall off. My next session is due next month and I will update you guys about it.
