Brows frame our face shape, and that is the reason why our face looks lifted when we get our eyebrows threaded/waxed. I am blessed to have naturally thick brows, and thankfully I didn’t go with the thin line brows trend a few years back. Having said that, I do need to use brow products to fill any sparse areas and to make my brows look like sisters if not twins. My thick bushy brows also need a bit of gel to keep them in place and I must admit that I have not used any other brow product than Hourglass Cosmetics past few months. I have been using the Brow Sculpting Pencil since summer and been loving it so much and recently the new Arch Brow Micro-Sculpting Pencil also joined the Brow army!
The mysterious Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal Eau de Parfum is charged with excitement, lust, and boldness. The fragrance was launched in June 2017 and the advertising campaign was around the life of Madame La Ministre – She is a Government Minister who goes partying at night in Paris’ Pigalle neighbourhood for some fun and then …
Fragrances tend to last longer if we layer them with solid perfumes and body lotions etc. from the same fragrance category. I find solid perfumes are easy to travel with too (especially when you only travel with cabin luggage). 34 Boulevard Saint Germain is a fragrance celebrating Diptyque’s 50th anniversary. 34 encapsulates the scent of …
Perricone MD not only does brilliant skincare but they have some of the best makeup for those who prefer no-makeup makeup look. On most days specially for school runs or when I am not going for a dressed-up event, I love the look of ‘my lips but better’ kind of shades on my lips. I have been a fan of Perricone MD’s No Lipstick Lipsticks since I tried these couple of years ago. These skincare infused lipsticks offer benefits of a nourishing lip balm while providing pigment of a lipstick. This lipstick moisturizes the lips with natural-looking color as it visibly improves firmness, smoothness, and definition over time.

I do not see many people talking about Hugo Boss Fragrances, so the brand never took my attention before until I smelt BOSS – The Scent Private Accord for Her from a little sample sent to me by a friend. The first whiff of this fragrance ticked all the boxes for a perfect gourmand oriental fragrance for autumn-winter.

Some fragrances leave an unforgettable special effect on us and Cafe Tuberosa is one of such few fragrances for me. This is a chocolaty floral fragrance with warm spicy notes that makes you feel like eating it! One thing I love about Atelier Colognes is that their fragrances are not targetted towards men or women. …

I am one of those people who like to go gentle with their skincare because of this bloody sensitive skin for which everything (from products to technique) have to be PERFECT. If not, our skin breaks out leaving us with no choice but to go back to basics. My skin is prone to congestion around …

If you have been following my blog, you would know I am not a fan of physical scrubs but hey, I love a good exfoliating product. Mature skin requires extra care and though I am in my 30s (almost mid 30s), I stay away from facial scrubs! SUQQU – The premium Japanese Beauty Brand has …
With ageing skin, I am leaning more towards less makeup looks. I tend to like products that not only hide or blur some of my imperfections like pores and fine lines but also give a bit of radiance to my skin. One such hero product is Yves Saint Laurent’s Touche Eclat Blur Primer. I have …
