Nyassa Under The Ocean Hand Cream Review

What the Company claims: True to our principle of “from Heaven and Earth” this Handcream brings together an unique fragrance with a host of secret natural ingredient that offers you complete and natural handcare. Under the Ocean Handcream mainly contains Almond Butter and Seaweed Extract. Almond Butter works effectively as a wonderful moisturizer that keeps your hands moisturized and prevent dryness. Seaweed Extract is known to work effectively as a natural emolient. It also fights pre-mature aging and is an effective smoothing agent.

Nyassa Under The Ocean Hand Cream Review

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.300/- for 145ml

It comes in a square bottle with a pump dispenser and a very minute dispenser opening which just gives the required quantity in one pump. Also has a plastic cap on the top, so you can carry it around too. And the pump dispenser won’t spill out the product.

Its very very light in texture, no greasiness or stickiness here. I found the texture quite similar to my favorite L’Occitane Lavender Hand Cream. It has a seaweed, kinda aquatic, smell. I liked the smell. Not sure if everyone would prefer the seaweed smell.

Although its light in texture, its moisturising and hands feel quite soft. The hydration stays for 3-4 hours and untill you wash your hands or they come in contact with water. Almond Butter helps in hydration here.

I love reapplying it and this is currently on my bedside table. And I use it on my hands right before sleeping to wake up to soft hands.

The quantity of 145ml for the price of Rs.300/- is quite economical as most of the brands in this category are priced higher.

I personally loved it. And there are other two options: Alphonso Mango Hand Cream, Cool Cucumber Hand Cream, if you are not a fan of seaweed personally. Highly recommend Nyassa Hand Creams.

My All Black Wishlist

Rado, Shoes, Watches, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

My All Black Wishlist

There is something about black that attracts us and most of us love black. Black is mysterious. Black is royal. Black is hot. Black is sexy. Black makes one look thin and svelte.

I have so many black outfits. Black Dresses, Black denims, Black pants, Black skirts, etc.. I have lost count of it. Though I am a color person, but I love black equally. It surely dominates my wardrobe. I literally live in my black denims. 😀 And all IN for monochrome looks.

Black kajal/kohl is something I can’t live my home without or else people tell me I look sleepy/unwell. Also, a black kajal tikka is something which is supposed to protect you from evil or ‘buri nazar’ as its said. Black smokey eyes is something which will make a girl look smoking hot and clubbing ready immediately ! 😀

Here is a small wishlist of things I did love to have in black (Small,out of the uncountable things I did want :D)

1. Classic Black Louboutins

I have a definite fondness for shoes and bags. I have shoes in all colors including black. But simple,plain,classic black Louboutins would be a superb addition to my shoe stash. They work with almost all outfits and are just perfect.

2. An All Black Rado

A Classic Black Rado watch has been on my wishlist since forever. I love the fact that it is timeless, classy, elegant and stylish. Another piece I can pair with anything and everything and wear forever and pass on the legacy.

3. Black S- Class Merc

Even though a black car denotes authority, it exudes style and royalty. It attracts you in an instant. Merc anyways attracts one and a black S- class will not let you take off your eyes off it.

4. Black IPhone 6

Ok, I am not an Iphone fan yet coz I have always been an Android user. But, if I have to jump on the IPhone bandwagon, I did want it to be the latest IPhone 6. I would love to give it a try. But of course, in black. My current Lenovo phone is black too 😀 Told you, I am obsessed with black.

5. Canon EOS 5D Mark III

Being a beauty and fashion blogger, a good camera is a must have for me. Though there are many good cameras out there on a budget too. But, Canon EOS 5D Mark III is one of the best high end professional cameras in the market currently that one can possibly own.

Though I can go on and on, I guess 5 are enough for now. :p I love everything black and whenever I have to make a choice, I sub consciously have always finalized black and end up going for the black.

What about you ? Do you guys love black ? What would be your top 5 black things ?

July My Envy Box Review

If you guys don’t know what is My Envy Box yet, go HERE.

Check out my previous months’ boxes:

MRP: Rs.850/-

This time too, a lavender box like the previous June one.

What I got in my box:

  • Three 10ml bottles of Kama Ayurveda Bringadi Intensive Hair Treatment– Full size Rs.450/- for 100ml- I am glad that there are 3 bottles this time. One bottle of 10ml is enough for 2 uses, coz its supposed to be used only on the scalp. This is going to last a long time and I like Kama products. Hope this works for my hair. Would update you guys
  • Eau Thermale Avene Very High protection Sun cream SPF50+ (5ml)– Full Size Rs.1250/- for 50ml- I have used Avene VHP SPF50+ Sunscreen spray before and liked it. This is a little richer though and meant for normal to dry skin.
  • Two 6ml sachets of L’Occitane Aromachologie Control Styling Prep Cream– Full Size Rs.1990/- for 200ml- Its a leave in conditioner. Have not used it yet. Sounds good though
  • Kama Ayurveda Mridul Soap Free Face Cleanser- small sample- Full Size Rs.295/- for 40g- Its an ayurvedic, natural soap free cleanser which is to be mixed with water and massaged all over the face. I wanted to try this from a long time and I am glad I got to. Really liking it so far.
  • Eminence Organics Red Currant Balancing Concentrate- 2ml sachet- Full Size Rs.6413/- for 35ml- I am not a fan of Eminence Organics or small 2ml sachets. Not happy with this.

I would have loved to try the H2O Sea Moss Replenishing Body Lotion instead of the Eminence Organics Concentrate since I am not much into anti-ageing skin care.

Overall its a mixed bag yet again. I liked the Kama products and the fact that there are 2 hair products in the box this time. But definitely expect much more from My Envy Box.

Sleek MakeUP Del Mar Volume-I i-Divine Palette Review, Swatches

So after the amazing Sleek MakeUP CC cream, time to review the latest Limited Edition palette added to the i-Divine Range- Del Mar Volume-I

What the Company claims: Create stunning eye makeup with 12 shades of super pigmented eye shadow. i-Divine palettes are suitable for all skin tones adding a touch of stylish sophistication to take you from day to night. Each palette includes a matte dark colour, ideal for definition or perfecting that classic smoky effect.

Get your summer off to a scorching start with our limited edition* Del Mar Volume 1 i-Divine palette. Each shade is inspired by the tranquil, calm feel of Ibiza’s chilled out atmosphere, with soft coral oranges of the sunset, deep aqua blues of the sea and sublime greens of the picturesque view.

  • This brilliant eyeshadow palette of vibrant colours suits all skin tones and complements the bright pastel trend prominent this Spring/Summer 2014
  • The exclusive packaging captures the essence of the warm sun and mellow Balearic beats floating into the breeze

MRP: $11.99

How to: Get creative and blend contrasting colours together or mix shimmers with matte shades. Each i-Divine includes a classic matte dark colour, great to perfect that classic smoky effect.

Shades:

1st row:

  • Lounge Lovers– Satin finish n*de gold
  • Poolside– Matte Sea Blue
  • Sunset Strip– Matte wearable warm orange
  • Ambience– Satin finish purple
  • Chilled out blue– Matte white
  • Marlin– Matte Teal Green

2nd row:

  • Opening Party– Satin finish bluish purple
  • On the Rocks– Satin finish coral
  • Talamanca– Matte n*de brown (for blending and transitioning colors)
  • Feel Euphoric– Satin finish peachy pink
  • Baleric Beat– Matte Lime Green
  • Paradise– Matte Lilac

There are more matte shades in this palette..and though they look bright in the pan, they are quite wearable and easy to carry shades. Also, not all mattes are chalky and some are very decently pigmented, but some have to be packed on quiet a few times for the desired intensity.

Its a nice blend of colors, and perfect pool party/beach holiday palette. And appropriate for the Summer launch too. I do like peaches and corals and they look pretty good when combined with the right colors. I would not say this palette is a must have, but if you love summery bright colors, then it can be a good addition to your stash !

Everyday habits that ruin your looks

Everyday habits that ruin your looks

Guest Post

There are lots of things we do every single day that ruin our looks, from washing our hair to talking to our friends. Don’t believe me ? Shocked ? You ask how ? Read on..

To make sure you stay looking pretty, fresh-faced and perfect, check out this list and make sure you don’t do any of these habits that ruin your appearance. If you do find some of your habits on this list, we’ll also give you remedies and solutions to each and every beauty dilemma.

Coming back to the everyday harmful habits..

1. Sleeping

Although we all need our beauty sleep, sleeping could be causing your skin to age unnecessarily. The problem with sleeping is not the process itself .The problem lies with your pillowcase. Surprisingly your pillowcase can draw moisture away from you and this can age skin. It can also leave unattractive lines over your face. Also, the hair tends to fall more on a normal pillow. To combat your pillowcase problem dermatologists recommend you invest in a silk pillow cover/satin pillow case. Silk contains amino acids, similar to those found in our moisturisers, so when we rest our heads for the night our skin is not losing any essential moisture. Problem solved.

2. Applying makeup/Doing touch ups

When we apply our face creams, our expensive moisturisers and our foundation, most of us are guilty of doing so with our fingers. Although using your fingers is fine, how many of us clean our hands before doing so? Some of us may wash hands before applying makeup in the morning or the night, but not so many do so when they do the odd touch-up job. This is bad news for our skin. The bacteria from fingers transfer to face, which can cause infection and spots. To prevent blemishes and still use your favourite beauty products make sure you use a hand sanitizer before applying your face creams or use makeup brushes.

If you are not sure in how to apply correctly your make-up you could find many courses in internet or locally in pages as olx.com.bd

3. Drinking water

Although drinking water can help improve the way we look, the way we actually drink can make us look terrible. Using bottles or straws to drink is something most of us do every single day, but did you know that drinking through a bottle or straw can age our skin? Drinking in this way can give us the same lines and wrinkles around our mouths that smoking causes. If you want to stay looking young and wrinkle-free it’s time you buy a glass and ditch the bottles and the straws.

4. Talking to your friends

I know we all are big time gossip mongers but does our skin like it ? Think about the places we leave our phones. We leave them on café tabletops, in the drinks holder of our car and on the seat in changing rooms. We leave our phones on shop countertops, we lend our phones to our friends and even leave them on the side in the public bathroom when we wash our hands. When you think about your phone in this way, it’s not surprising that phones can cause spots and blemishes. To combat this problem use antibacterial wipes and be a little bit more mindful where you leave your phone next time you’re out and about.

5. Washing your hair

If you want to look hot and feel good the very least you need to do is keep clean, right? Well, although basic hygiene is obviously a vital part of your beauty regime you have to choose your products carefully. Within most shampoos and hair conditioners you will find a foaming chemical called sodium laureth sulphate. Although commonly used, this chemical can damage your hair, your skin and your health. The Hair Loss Control Clinic explain that sodium laureth sulphate can even cause your hair growth cycle to decline and suggest the chemical can prolong your hair loss phase. So to keep your hair thick and luscious, choose products that do not contain this chemical, like organic shampoos and conditioners. But though, most of the companies now have switched to Sodium Laureyl Sulphate which is not that harmful.

Did you realise your everyday habits would be harming your skin and hair ?

All New Revamped Sia Jewellery.com

Hey guys,

Most of you, in India,must be knowing Sia and must have also bought something or the other from them. I have bought  quite a few earrings from Sia for my daily wear and I love the quality. It comes with 6 months warranty and the jewellery never loses its color or the diamonds don’t come out, even if I wear them daily.

Sia Jewellery.com has revamped their website and now we have an all new Siajewellery.com

I like how they have different tabs for individual items like earrings, necklaces, gifts, offers, etc.

‘New In’ tab has their latest collection and they also have bifurcation with Product Type, where they have Eid Collection, Heritage Collection, Spunky Collection, etc.

They have a new Sale section, Flat 50 Store, Editor’ pick Section, New In, Bridal section, etc.

I love the pieces in the Editor’s pick section. And the Flat 50 store is the best. There are some steal deals you just cannot resist. I have already added a few in my wishlist option on the site and planning a haul soon. I think the Flat 50 section is definitely one should not miss !

Currently, Sia has 25 stores all over India. They accept all forms of payment but do not have Cash on Delivery yet sadly. I hope they start that soon. The shipping charges are Rs.95/- per 500g within India and for international orders, depending on the country. I am glad they ship internationally too. If any of you live outside India and want to buy some good Indian jewellery, then now you know where to shop from ! Shipping within India takes 3-4 days.

I think its very helpful for someone who does not have a Sia store around their location. And for lazy bums like me who prefer online shopping. And I have also found some better steal deals at times online 😉

OOTD: Orange Peplum Top, Metallic Gold Belt

Hey guys,

As I mentioned in the previous OOTD post, I am going to bombard you with OOTDs, since I posted them after a long time :p

I love orange and gold combination. And as you know, orange is the new black ! Gold accessories come up really well on orange.

This was also what I wore to the Closeup Diamond Attraction event I posted about.

I have paired this orange peplum top with my black denims and black ankle strap suede wedges. This current favorite gold metallic belt and a gold chain bracelet, gold and diamante statement necklace completed the look and of course, my black bag.

I love this orange peplum top, have been wearing it a lot these days. Its quite comfortable and looks chic too. The fit is nice and the fabric is soft and smooth too. It has a deep U back and can be paired with pencil skirts, denims, maxi skirts and in so many ways.

Its by Femella. You guys must have come across Femella on Myntra, Flipkart, Jabong, Fashionara, Junglee and quite a few sites. They have their own site too from which they retail directly. I love their collection. There are very few brands in India that cater to the latest fashion trends, have all the new collections and are budget friendly too. And for those who are not into international shopping and customs from sites like Asos, etc, we have our very own affordable Indian brand that comes to our rescue. I have bought a lot of Femella clothing before too, for the very reason.

OOTD: Faux Leather Peplum Top, Polka Dots Slouchy Pants

Hey guys,

I know I had done the summery floral dress OOTD recently. But since, I had done that after a long time, I have few more for you guys. There is one more this week 😀

I am loving slouchy pants this season. I have loved them in summers and they are still good for the rains, if they are cropped. Reason: They don’t stick like denims, they are thinner so they dry quickly and are super super comfy. I already have a polka dot one but in black base. See HERE. This one is in white..and I bought another plain peach slouchy pants from the Zara sale. :p

I paired them with this faux leather black peplum top which has a triangle knot cut out at the back. And completed it with my favorite leopard metal and leather statement necklace and my trusted black bag.

Its more of a ‘casual comfy meet goth’ kinda look.

Added the Daniel Wellington watch and my current favorite Solester flats.

 

More about Solester.com:  “My new footwear is so damn cool but still i can’t wear it with every dress.” #EveryGirlsProblem

Solester is a one of its kind transformable footwear that demonstrates a new horizon in the Indian footwear industry. As the tagline – The joy of changing it, often clearly implies, the footwear allows for changing multiple uppers on a single sole. It’s perceived to be a dream come true for a women who has to everyday match her dress with a matching shoe.

The uppers are made from high quality leather with comfort and style forming the sole basis of the product. It brings out the designer self in you and allows for a mix and match to create many different looks in accordance with the dress and mood that you are wearing.

With the patent pending technology, the uppers are attached to the robust and comfortable sole safely without compromising on the quality and style. Solester is a result of a dedicated 2 years spent on research and product iterations by a team of dedicated designers and engineers each having experience of more than 10 years in the footwear industry. Here every design is unique and speaks for itself on comfort, style and quality.

The innovative transformable system allows for a purchase of one sole and then purchase of multiple uppers later, in accordance to the mood or need. It saves you:

Money : By giving you the freedom to buy only uppers
Space : So you can keep more stuff in the closet and travel bags

“Give a women the right shoes and she can conquer the world” – Marliyn Monroe.

Our goal was clear from day 1 – the shoe must score 10/10 on comfort, style and durability without exception. Countless iteration, endless hours and infinite round of testing for a period of over 2 years finally gave us what we required.

Almost certain that we finally wanted to give birth to this idea and what followed was the beginning
of Solester’s Journey. The journey of spreading the joy – The joy of changing it, often.

If you follow me on Instagram, you must have seen them in my updates too..

I think its a superb idea. I got one pair of uppers too. And I can buy more uppers and just change them, and get new shoes 😉 How cool! Though they are not exactly cheap, but its pure leather. So when you expect amazing quality, you need to shell a few bucks. Plus its only once for the soles. Later you just need to buy the uppers. And they have free shipping and flat 20% off currently for a limited period of time. (Use the code ‘Solester55’). They also have free returns withing 7 days if you have size issue or something. And I just saw that they have 30% off on few uppers..the white Lauren upper is for Rs.699/- currently.

Btw, I also tried a print on print..with stripes and polka dots..I think its looks pretty decent..whaddya think ?
