Hi Everyone,

It is Mitti Se...Wild Essence Face Scrub- Fights Acne, Exfoliates and Rejuvenate Cells. (Price-  40 gms for 190 INR) easily available online.

A couple of months back I got this while on my business trip to bhopal and as i have read a lot about the brand and its organic products- got hold of this.

Luster Dark Secrets...Is it a Dupe of Lush Dark Angels???

Hi Everyone,

Usual skincare routine says- Cleansing, Toning and Moisturising while a weekly routine involves - Scrubbing. 

I have pretty oily, acne prone skin (usually whiteheads) so scrubbing is one of the safe ways to get rid of extra deposits on my skin. And online shopping has given me far more options to explore varieties of scrubbing products. 

Today its a charcoal scrub from an Indian brand, Luster Skin Care- handmade beauty products. it is Luster Dark Secrets. 

Price- 290 INR for 100 gms. Available online. buy here at Amazon.

Reason why I bought this- it caught my attention as the packaging and labelling resembled a lot to Lush Dark Angels. And this gave a thought to try this even if it is dupe.

My Envy Box celebrating #15yearsofForestEssentials- Feb 2016

My most awaited 'My Envy Box' finally reached me in the last week of Feb- Such a long wait when you know that time its  ALL Forest Essentials products in the Box.

As soon as i opened the Box- a whirlwind of  an amazing fragrance engulfed me. i saw 5 sample size products- Forest Essentials Miniatures.

it took me little time to test and experience the sheer magnificence delivered in the small box.

Using the samples i was like- a queen drowned in the pond of 'Attar' covered with layer of beautiful flower petals enjoying the Royal luxurious wallow in the scented bath.

So my view on MY ENVY BOX- Feb 2016 Forest Essentials Box is here- 

hiphop Salt & Sugar Face Scrub with Micellar Water

Traditionally Salt and Sugar were the only and the most effective source of exfoliation, being simple, gentle and purest form of scrubbing. Hiphop has combined traditional and modern science and produced a "Salt & Sugar face scrub with Micellar Water". It exfoliates and moisturises the skin. it is very effective with balanced pH for unclogging pores, speedy turnover of skin cells, controlling sebum and smoothing skin tone gently. it also improves skin texture by reducing dry, rough skin and removing layers of excess dead skin. The exfoliating factor leaves the skin rejuvenated, vivacious, soft, healthy and glowing.

Hi Girls, 

Today its a skin care product from one of the Indian Companies, Venus Drugs and Cosmetics Ltd- one of the early partners of Zandu. They have their skin care/cosmetic products under the brand name- hiphop. 

I got their scrub- hiphop Salt & Sugar Face Scrub with Micellar Water. 

Price- 125 INR for 100 gms. Easily available on retail counters and online too. I got this from Amazon.

Lotus Herbals Apriscrub-Fresh Apricot Scrub (Review)

My first encounter with scrub was some 12-15 years back when i saw the Cheryl's scrub tub on my cousin's dressing table.

I was thinking why would someone prefer putting such rough particles on their skin when so may soothing skin care cosmetics are available in the market. My cousin told me that how this scrub sloughs off the dead skin and black heads to a great extent. its an integral part of facials from then onwards.

Today its about the product which is not new in the market but i used it first time. This is Apriscrub- Fresh Apricot Scrub from +Lotus Herbals . The tube has been lying in my stash since long and i forgot it. Now i am using this quite often since last one month. Lets read on to see how it worked on me.

Must Haves in your Anti-Acne and Anti Pimple Regimen....

Hi Girls,

So whats your dream type skin?

1. Gori Gori- Fair Complexion

2. Flawless and glowing, whatever the color maybe.

I would go for 2nd option. I have always been more inclined for a smooth flawless skin then the so called 'gori gori twacha' (fair complexion) hence keep looking for ways and means to keep my skin glowing and healthy.

Garnier White Complete Gentle Exfoliating Scrub for daily scrubbing

Hi All, 

This festive month was full of vacation freaking, isn't it??

I had a blast as i got chance to meet my In-laws and my parents after a long. Believe me no Holiday outings can match up to family fun.

Today we are not talking about vacations but about one more product from +garnier light  GARNIER WHITE COMPLETE range- Gentle Exfoliating Scrub. Gentle exfoliation...its fine but White Complete??? lets see how. I purchased it as i was looking for daily use gentle scrub which can handle my acne and dark spot troubles well. In a way i was looking for a substitute to my favourite Clean and Clear daily scrub.

Fairness Facial with GARNIER Light 3 in 1

Fairness..not again!!!

This word really hits me. We Indians have been gifted with a nice complexion which highlights our facial features so well yet so obsessed with this word. Malaika Arora, with her chiseled bone structure and her warm complexion accentuating her facial features, proves that. 

I am a big fan of Nandita Das...actor from 'Earth', 'Ramchand Pakistani'; She is so beautiful and attractive. I simple adore her not only for her acting skills but the way she is associated with the cause - 

'Why fair is lovely'. Read her site here. 

i would love to associate with such a cause. 

Now you will say then why you opted for and reviewing a so called 'fairness' product. Well i purchased it since i was looking for good scrub and i saw this '3 in 1' tag. So thought of trying this. Actually i skip the info i don't wanna see so skipped that fairness claim mentioned here too.

So lets see- it is about GARNIER Fairness Facial LIGHT 3 in 1.

Current Empties#1

Hi All, 

You all might have understood by now that for me beauty is more being 'myself". skin care  plays a major role in my beauty concerns and just stick to makeup for certain occasions but skin care???? its always on top of my charts. 

Here again its about my recent empties although i had several empties before but never got time  to share. Rather should i say thay in my cleaning spree...they were disposed off. At times my 'boys' also could not understand what i am upto? hoarding or disposing?
