Natural Bath and Body: Grapefruit and Vitamin C Gel Face Masque

Nature’s most powerful antioxidants - Vitamin C, grapefruit oil and plant extracts team up together to create this whitening gel pack. This citrus facemask gently removes impurities and reveals skin that’s remarkably lighter, whiter and brighter. Formulated with a precise concentration of Vitamin C that is known for its anti-aging and antioxidant powers, this gel also nourishes collagen fibers to maintain skin firmness. It is combined with Grapefruit extract to enhance it’s ability to lift the skin complexion and protect it from environmental damage.

Today I'll be reviewing bath and body product from the house of Natural Bath and Body.

It is face pack but with a twist- Grapefruit and Vitamin C Gel Face Masque. 

price- 325 INR for 100ml. Is easily available online and you can buy it from their site too.

I have combination skin which is extremely acne prone so most of my skincare products are targeted ones, either to treat acne or absorb excess sebum. But that leaves my skin deprived of required nourishment at times. So during the changing weather I was looking for a product which would nourish my skin and also help in removing the acne marks & blemishes. 

Although there are several options available in the market but they narrow down to few when you look for herbal/organic products.

Kapoor & Sons: Real family drama

While the entire city was fully blown away with the Holi fever and cloudy fog in variety of hues around, it really excites but then people like me who are little scared with the crowd usually have other plans- Watching the movie. 

I was busy scanning newspaper for the latest releases which I usually do not- but what's a better than watching a nice flick than washing yourself thrice after being painted in Eastman colours. 

My Man, pointed on the picture and said- Ok, I feel this the only one we can think about!

Amidst several Bollywood releases which are either too funny to laugh; beyond my tolerance level for which I would surely not spend the precious 1000 bucks or too good for a poor intellect like me- and I would feel like running away from the Cinema hall even before the First half finishes. We finally decided to go for- Kapoor & Sons. The One which I will be reviewing today.

Movie- Kapoor and Sons

Cast: Rishi Kapoor, Ratna Pathak Shah, Rajat Kapoor,Fawad Khan, Sidharth Malhotra, Alia Bhatt

Hedonista Oudh frozen Ittar: dehn al oud, Review

A solid perfume inspired by fragrant souks and musky monsoons. Dance the night away on a tidal wave of dehn al oud.

But for me, it's pure calming fragrance of dhoop, incense from temples mixed with some floral notes. Every time I apply this, I feel as if I am sitting in my Grandma's pooja room and delving in deep soothing smell of incenses & fresh flowers and my grandma has put a cotton bud dipped in ittar on the back of my ears & my wrists. it's Nostalgic! This revived my childhood memories.

Actually fragrance is an integral part of Indian worship rituals. Attar Buds are applied to lord Krishna as part of their daily shringar (grooming).

But we might have never thought of a similar fragrance ritual with a twist, did we?

You all might have understood that today it's about fragrance but a unique kind of fragrance which has ritual of its own. I am talking about Hedonista Oudh Frozen Ittar- lure the seven sins with dehn al oud. 

Lakme 9to5 Eye color Quartet: Desert Rose

Hi Everyone, 

Lakme is one such brand which has introduced Indian women to international quality and variants of makeup. 20 years back, lakme was the only brand available in India and can say, synonymous to makeup. Still in Indian suburbs, villages- high end makeup for them is Lakme foundation, lipsticks and kajal

For me, it was their nail colors and trying almost all kinds of shades from their collection.

Lakme and me have come a long way, though I am not a pro in makeup but then i love using colors on my eyes. While searching for some festive kind of shades, i came across this- 

Lakme 9to5 Eye color Quartet in Desert Rose.

A versatile quartet of high intensity powders put together to color, shape, highlight your eyes like never before. 

Price- 550 INR for 7gms. Available on all retail outlets and online too.
