AddOns Women Accessories Collection and Store Review

The long statement chains..

And statement necklaces..

I was strolling in the store for more than an hour..admiring everything. The shoes and bags were so amazing, I could’nt get my eyes off them.

These color block heels were my favorite..and the floral brogues too !

And the sunglasses too. I tried this one and loved it.

Loved the bags..

And the statement envelope clutches too..

Their new statement earrings..

Some of their earrings are perfect for Indian wear.The green ones I got last time work with 1-2 anarkalis of mine and looks fab.

Colorful belts..

Scarves..

And the hair pins too would work great with Indian wear..

What I got :

Round Rose Gold earrings

Rose Gold Linked Bracelet

Yellow Stone Earrings (Again something which would work with both Indian and western wear)

Cute Stone Studded Hair pins

I would say its a paradise for someone who loves jewellery, accessories, bags and shoes. (And I guess every girl falls in that category :D). And you must check out the Addons store nearest to you. You won’t come back empty handed surely.

Would also like to add that their prices are pretty economical too. And if you search a little, you can find some amazing buys in your budget.

Did you like my haul ? Have you been to/shopped from AddOns store before ?

Pantene Total Damage Care Shampoo,Conditioner,Hair Mask Review

Pantene Pro-V Total Damage Care Shampoo,Conditioner,Intensive Hair Mask Review
Ok, to start with, I was never a Pantene fan before. Had used it once long back and did not like it much, never tried Pantene again. So, this time when the Pantene team asked me to take their 14 day hair challenge with their all new and improved Pantene, I was like why not, let me give it a try.
The thing which intrigued me the most was their new Keratin Damage Blockers Technology. Even though the challenge was 14 days i.e 2 weeks, I was still using it for a longer time, though I did note the change in my hair in 2 weeks.
First, let us read and understand more about keratin porosis and the keratin damage blockers..
KERATIN-POROSIS IS THE ENEMY
The erosion of hair’s vital keratins and protein loss is the reason why hair becomes weaker and more brittle. Hair subsequently becomes more porous, ultimately leading to greater hair damage.
FIGHTING BACK AGAINST THE DAMAGES
The Keratin Damage Blockers targets, captures and neutralizes conditions that causes Keratin-Porosis, preventing keratin deficiency and strengthening the hair fiber from the inside out for healthier hair with every wash.
KERATIN-POROSIS EXPLAINED
Put the shine, strength and resilience back into your hair. Enjoy continuous improvements with every single wash, and benefit from the extra hair protection and better protein retention.
KERATIN DAMAGE BLOCKERS TECHNOLOGY IN SHAMPOOS
With the revolutionary Keratin Damage Blockers technology in the new line of shampoos* that preserves hair’s vital proteins and protects it from Keratin-Porosis, Pantene ushers a new era of damage-free hair!
KERATIN DAMAGE BLOCKERS EXPLAINED
Developed by 9 Global Hair Experts after 10 years of research, discover what goes behind the shine of Pantene’s Keratin Damage Blockers technology.

Ahaan, sounds good, does’nt it ? But, does it actually work ? Read on..

MRP: Rs.199/- for 135ml

Directions: 

Step 3

Pantene Total Damage Care  Range comes in a pretty yellow and white packaging..though all Pantene range have the same packaging, I feel they should change some color somewhere to differentiate the range.

But, I like the fact that they are to be stored upside down. No struggle and waiting for the shampoo or conditioner to dispense when its half over as its already collected towards the opening. The mask also has a easy flip cap packaging in a tub.

The shampoo is pearly white in color and has a shine. Its runny and foams very well. Conditioner is a thick, white cream, and smooth and moisturising enough.

Hair feels smoother and softer after the first use itself. I have tried using the mask as a conditioner and skipping the conditioner and all three together too. I thought all three together would weigh down my hair, but I was so wrong.

Did not weigh down my hair at all. The mask is the hero of this range. Its the bomb.com

Intensive Hair Mask

I so love the mask. My hair feels amazingly soft and smooth with this range, especially with the mask. Though I use the mask only once a week. The conditioner is good too, but nothing beats the mask 😀

The best part, this mask is also available in Rs.10 sachet form, which is THE thing to carry, when you are travelling.

Though, it did not help much with dandruff,Does not even claim to. But, hair is manageable and non frizzy as claimed. And super soft and smooth. And, I believe the Keratin Damage Blockers technology is actually protecting my hair from damage and repairing it too.

Yes, I did see visible results in 14 days. You should absolutely take the 14 days challenge if yet not convinced.

I highly recommend this range !

Have you tried the new Pantene Total Damage Care Range ??

Instant White Smile with the New Closeup Diamond Attraction

I attended the new Closeup Diamond Attraction launch on 5th July at Bungalow 9, Bandra. I also met so many bloggers from Delhi, who were flown specially for the event. It was a fun night of chatting, eating, drinking and smiling ! Showing off our white pearlies 😀

We had a photobooth where we clicked fun shots, used props, then were made to play some games in one minute and had dinner, drinks and conversations.

I like the idea of instant whiteness. Just brush your teeth for a minute, and you can see visible difference in your teeth, being more whiter. We also tested it with a string of pearls and a stop watch.

There are whitening toothpastes in India, but this is the first in India giving instant results. It also gives progressive results with continued use, but instant result too.

If you are someone who has stained their teeth due to wine,tea,coffee,etc or in general do not have whiter teeth, you can definitely give this a try.

Closeup Diamond Attraction is all you need to get an instantly white smile, anywhere and anytime.

Commenting on the launch Atul Sinha, Category Head, Oral Care HUL said, “We believe Closeup Diamond Attraction will be a game changer in the category as it transcends from oral care into the beauty space, and leverages on the growing trend of involvement in the beauty segment. Co-created with cosmetic dentists, new Closeup Diamond Attraction is proven to give visibly white teeth from the first brush itself. It is a must-have for new age beauty kits.”

OOTD: Summer Floral Dress

Hey guys,

I am back with an OOTD after a long time. Monsoons have officially begin in Mumbai..though it was on/off before and then there were no rains for a month. That was the time I was wearing this summery floral dress.

Though the rains are unstoppable right now, but again we would see some days of normal Mumbai summer soon 😀

I love the green base and the floral paisley motifs in red,pink and purple on this dress. Also, its more like a casual shirt dress. Its so comfortable and looks pretty too. And has an interesting back.

I paired it with this long gold and silver knot chain necklace, a small blue and silver bracelet, silver midi rings, an orange chrysanthemum flower brooch as a hair accessory. And completed the look with my purple wedges.

Its also very beachy/Hawaiian kinda look I feel :p I think I badly need a holiday.

Necklace: Ayesha.Accessories
Flower Brooch, Midi Rings: Romwe
Bracelet: AddOns (Shown HERE)

New #AllWhiteinRado Collection and a Blogger Meet

New #AllWhiteinRado Collection and a Blogger Meet

Recently Rado launched a new all white (stunning) collection. I have a weakness for white watches (already have 3 whites :p). And, I love Rado ! So, the white Rado collection, you can imagine, how much I drooled over.

Lisa Ray talking about the brand

Rado had a small blogger meet up with just 12 of us lucky bloggers and their brand manager Simran Chandoke, Marketing Manager Piyush Kumar and their brand ambassador Lisa Ray, at the private area of Ming Yang, Taj Lands End. We were the privileged ones to see the collection up close and personal, try it on and play with it. The theme was black or white.

Also, we came to know quite a few interesting facts about Rado and this collection in particular. Rado was amongst the first ones to make ceramic watches.

Me and Hina chatting away

They have a tactile watch in this collection called the ‘Rado Esenza Ceramic Touch’.The vertical oval-shaped watch – crafted in black or white ceramic – is crown-free. Time is changed by pressing and sliding your fingers along the case to set the hours and minutes. The incredibly tactile watch offers something not seen on any other ladies model currently sold. They are going to patent the tactile feature in ceramic.

My First Rado ! (though a bad angle :/)

The one which I am wearing is the slimmest watch in that collection, as equal to 3 credit cards. And is made of mother of pearl. Super elegant.

Simran Chandoke, Brand Manager, Rado India

All the pieces in this collection were stunning. Simran and Piyush informed a lot about the brand in general and this collection in particular. And, Simran also explained the facts and features of each and every watch in detail.

We played a small game, where we got one word and we had to relate it to one watch from this collection and why we feel that word best describes the particular watch we selected.

Showing off our Rado
Me and Jyo with Lisa Ray

It was a fun evening where we had dinner and conversations about blogging in general, Rado, Lisa Ray, social media, etc. And it was amazing interacting with Lisa Ray too.

Us !

Overall, quiet a nice meet and a different one at it. It was quiet an experience and I definitely would love such kind of more meets 😀

Nivea Whitening Sensitive Deodorant Review

Nivea Whitening Sensitive Deodorant Review

What the Company claims:

  • New Nivea Whitening Sensitive Deodorant repairs your skin to give you fairer underarms without any irritation.
  • It has 0 % alcohol and doesn’t harm the skin.
  • This deodorant contains licorice extracts that repair damage skin to give smooth, even toned underarms.
  • It provides soft, fresh fragrance for long lasting protection.

MRP: Rs.199/- for 150ml (Available on Flipkart for Rs.174/-)

Ingredients: Butane, Isobutane, Propane, Cyclomethicone, Aluminium Chlorohydrate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract, Persea Gratissima Oil, Octyldodecanol, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Demethicone, Propylene Carbonate, Dimethiconol, Parfum.

To start with, I love the soft, refreshing smell. Its kinda like baby powder. And it stays for a long time..though not 24/48 hours.

Its very handy and compact to carry around in your bag too. It has 0% alcohol and the oils in the ingredients give it a very hydrating feel. Skin feels smoother and softer. It was very gentle on the skin and did not irritate the skin. I never use deodorants directly on underarms, but this one is meant to whiten your underarms and I first tried it on my hand and found it very gentle and hydrating and so went on with using it for the underarms. It also claims to be antiperspirant and works to a certain level.

Even when used on clothes, it does not stain them white. And the fragrance stays for a long time.

With continued usage, you seem some slight difference in your underarms. Coz licorice extracts are meant to work on dark pigmentation and lighten them bit.But then, you need to use it continuously and do not expect any magical results !

Overall, I would say, its a nice deodorant..and definitely worth a try.

Have you used the new Nivea Whitening Sensitive Deodorant ?
