Style Advice Beauty Makeup Essentials makeup products makeup for working women Makeup Bag cosmetics Beauty Tips Let me call myself a hardcore makeup fan. Bordering makeup addict. My daily makeup essentials include 10-12 makeup products. Plus a few more for occasions that I truly look forward to, like an evening out with friends or a dinner date with hubby. However, there was a time when makeup products didnt feature anywhere in my life. No base makeup, no eye makeup and no lipsticks whatsoever. But things changed for good.

And women who have gone through delivery, this ask is not a luxury but necessity ..read more

Thoughts & Opinions Flat lay photography My love-hate relationship with cameras is legendery. I love taking pictures and could manage decent ones but never could get over my fear of DLSRs. The lights, light-meter, tripods, reflectors and all the equpments that come with a camera intimidate me.

At the same time, cameras make it almost impossible to share your work instantly on social media. Lame! However I do realize how much t ..read more

I have been gathering lipcolors like nobody's business. All shades and sizes. All kinds of brands. In this frenzy, I have also picked up shades that dont really work for my skin tone. The good thing is I've learnt to make them work by mixing them with classic shades that I already have.

Fashion Style Advice Pastel fashion Fashion trends 2018 latest fashion trends Pastels have an image of being pretty, sweet and candy-floss. And ofcourse feminine. But if you dont wear them for the same reasons, all you need is a little creativity. Pastels are super versatile; wear them as solids and they're great at making a statement. Wear them in tailored suits and you have pastels-so-androgynous. Or wear them sheer and nothing could look more sexy than pastels. So you see why this trend makes a comeback every year?! Here's welcoming Pastels- one of the top fashion trends of ..read more

Reviews Beauty Klairs Vitamin C Serum Review skincare products Whitening Serum Korean beauty product I started using Klairs Serum with a bit of apprehension. Partly because I had never used a serum and so didnt know if they really worked, as claimed, and partly because its a non-Indian brand so had never heard about it.  However, 2 months down the line, I can say its one of the best and the most promising skincare products I have ever used.

Fashion Thoughts & Opinions Fast fashion H&M Image Source: H&M Twitter   Its so interesting how fast fashion brands price their products. Just high enough to make great margins and just low enough to keep the customer happily shopping while looking for more. How much ever I try to keep away from Zara, Forever21 et al, for mostly ethical reasons, the fact is I'm addicted to them. Latest trends, right fit and perfect pricing...they ace the game! My latest crush however is H&M. I didnt quite like their first collection, it was too street-style-for-20-somethings. Though t ..read more
