My Skincare Routine : January 2015

Winter is when you pay tons of attention to your skin!
The more you hydrate, the more it shines! ♥

During summers, my skin gets quite oily; especially around the T zone. But I’ve never had that urge to follow an ideal skin care routine as I stay at home most of all the time! I wash my face like twice to thrice a day and I am done with the routine! But say WINTER!! It sucks out all the moisture; leaving my skin dry, unhealthy and not-so-smooth.

So that is when I realized I, being a normal-oily skinned girl need to follow a moisturizing routine in winters, too! As I am soon going to hit 20, I am already seeing changes in my skin type. It is leaning towards a slightly drier side! I hardly had the need to layer on moisturizers when I was in my teens. And now that it is coming to an end, a routine is a must!

It has been a long time since I paid attention to my skin. I was doing well with my hair care routine due to the hair growth challenge however, my skin lacked that nourishment! For the last one week, I am taking good care of my skin and things are back on track! Today, I will be sharing my current skin care routine with you all. And I’ll try to update the same every month!

You cannot really separate ‘reds’ from ‘lipsticks’!

Since the day I ever got introduced to lipsticks, reds are in trend! Though bold red lipsticks are not for daily wear (except for parties and occasions), I admire them the most! Red is one of that hottest shades that can transfer anybody into a diva in a jiffy!

Pink Button Down Shirt from PrettySecrets : OOTD

Happy Monday!

I hope you’ve started the week great! Mine started astonishing with my new camera! Today I will be doing an OOTD post, wearing my favorite pink casual shirt that I recently purchased from Prettysecrets.

Price : 999 INR

The site says the shirt is ‘Cute Coral’ however I find the piece pink with a hint of coral. They call it an AM to PM shirt – means you can wear it all day long comfortably! It can be defined as a beautiful coral-pink, a fresh shade for all the seasons. The shirt is made up of polyester and the shade looks very vibrant! It has a collar with a drop V neck. It also has convertible sleeves that can be rolled and buttoned to elbow length. Though the shirt is slightly sheer, it suits me well even without a tank top.

My First DSLR + Quick Updates!

Happy New Year Everyone!

I am so excited to let you all know today that I got my first ever DSLR! It is the Nikon D5300 with 18-55mm Kit lens. I also purchased a 35mm prime lens along with the camera. I ordered it on January 1st 2015 and it reached my hands yesterday! I purchased it from Croma, Chennai!

I am both happy and nervous right now! As this is my first DSLR, I am yet to learn so many things! It has SO many options, of course! I am even thinking to attend some workshop to get to know it better! Any suggestions?

Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Pop Lip Balm Fierce N Tangy Review, Photos and FOTD

Hello Girls!

I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season. I just love everything about this season, the pretty lights, the Christmas and New Year decorations and undying spirit of people. But I hate one thing about this season. Yes it is the skin problem that tagd along like an uninvited guest at a wedding. I have dry skin and my lips are too sensitive to cold. They look like they are hibernating (chapped and lifeless).

Honestly, I have a thing for pretty lips and looking at my chapped lips my soul died a little inside. I was worried sick looking at them and I decided to do a little research on the new lip care products that were newly launched in the market. Thanks to Maybelline India page on instagram, they showcased their new electropop range. They are neon coloured lip balms with no tint. They are the improved version of Baby Lips Original. So after doing my research I finally gave in and decided to try it.

I was apprehensive about this product because nothing has ever worked wonders on my lips except the Burt Bee’s lip balm. A few days into using the product, I think it’s the time to review it!

Price : 135 INR for 3.5 gm
