Its been a long time since my last post and yes I have been busy with "motherhood".Its a baby girl this time and super happy to have this bundle of joy in our family. My husband badly wanted a girl this time, and yes God did hear to him , made his wish come true. And as its my second pregnancy, I was more keen on products that help firming and toning of skin.With my exploration of the web for massage oil that help me, I stumbled on this Himalaya body butter for moms.,It really caught me and with winter surprisingly lasting little  longer than usual in this part of the world, Visakhaptnam, I needed some body butter to help my dry skin. With no second thoughts I picked this up from my local Himalaya store. There is also Rose fragrance in this line of Body butter,but lavender lured me. Product type:Body Butter Product price: 320 INR My review of the "Himalaya MOM's Soothing  Body Butter Lavender." This body butter comes in various sizes though I got it in 200 ml ja...

AVON ,its no new name to us,yeah its popular all over the world and yes I am a consultant too.I love being one.This is one amazing brand of direct selling.I love a lot of products by them.But here in this post I would be discussing about their economical line of products called the "Simply Pretty".And most popular are the two lip products/lip sticks that stand more worth to me for the price.Of the amazing line of colours ,I loved these two instantaneously.Read on to know more about the two cuties. Product Type:Lipstick Product: AVON SIMPLY PRETTY in Truffle and Amethyst Product Price: 2 for 249 INR. Review of Avon Simply Pretty in Truffle and Amethyst @ Tickled Tinker.

Today I am reviewing a product from my most loved brand Biotique.This one is called Biotique Papaya Revitalising and smoothing scrub.Scrubs are so important in any girls or for that matter of fact Mens vanity too.The work that a scrub does cannot be replaced by any other product.Now that said ,it's imperative that scrubs are creamy and not too harsh and grainy in texture.Although scrubbing is important for skin , facial skin needs great attention while using any scrub.Facial skin is very very delicate and thus be taken care of in the most gentlest manner.Whenever a scrub is used ,make sure you rub it gently,i mean very gently  in small circular motions.This way it cleans,buffs and removes skin tan without disturbing the layers and their glands .Thus the optimum condition of skin is maintained. Product :Biotique BIO  Papaya Revitalising Tan-removing Scrub Product Type : Facial scrub Product price: 199 for 85gms. Ingredients: Papita (Carica papaya), Kela (Musa sapientum), Khajoo...

Hi all , its summer time here at my place; Visakhapatnam ,India. But yeah ,thank God it's a sea city .And living near the shore has some benefits ,at least for me. Though it get hot , the sea breeze is cool and refreshes any soul in hot summer afternoons. But yeah there is another story as well, people used to living in dry hot climatic condition cannot take the humidity , they sweat profusely. As summer comes, its Mango time here in India. Such tangy to sweet varieties that my mouth just can't stop watering. And no wonder this is the time I use this powder to feel better, cool , and beautiful. Yep you read it right...though in many other parts of the world people are not much aware of a talcum powder. It's a staple in India , every home has it ,  men ,children and women use it equally and  comes pretty cheap. It's a soft white powder that does not let the face or body sweat. Though I have never ever been a fan of it ,due to my dry skin. And the white powder brings a as...

Dry skin is one high maintenance skin ..I mean atleast for me.I need to be..literally embalming myself with moisturiser all the time. Be it humid summers there is no escape what so ever.Infact the kind of moisturiser that felt great in winter, no longer feels good for the summers.At my place which is a sea city it gets very humid and moisturisers need to quench my skins thirst but not feel heavy or groggy. Why I had to tell you this beacuse , just as moisture, dry skin in summers need different face pack as well. Temperatures here at Vizag (Visakhapatnam) go to about 40*C during peak summers i. e last weeks of May .And on an average above 35*C.Its imperative that one heads caution with skin as well as body to save it from dehydration. Alright apart from this gyan let me jump right to Cucumber pack for dry skin in summers. THINGS YOU NEED : 1.CUCUMBER -ONE small 2. Multani mitti /fullers earth 3.one table spoon milk cream Procedure : *Make 4 slices of cucumber and keep aside. *Make two ...

You might have never thought that this would work so well when advertisers , friends , blogs influence you to buy stuff .BUT HERE I AM TELLING YOU NO BLOG WILL TELL  YOU... About a natural sponge that you can use to remove any grime / dirt. I stumbled upon this best natural face cleaner /face cleanser when I was shopping for my 1 year old baby .I bought the natural sponge at a baby store. Sponges are kind sea organisms that have no nervous system, digestive system or anything like that. They just have pores and only pores. And this natural sponge( which feels a wee bit like the artificial sponges) is one must -have item for a beautiful skin. Facial skin is delicate than the skin on the other parts of the body and its imperative that we treat it with utmost care just like you treat baby's skin. Now just as any mother would try anything on herself (except clothes)before she uses for her kid , I did that with this natural sponge too and God I so loved it that I kept it all form self.....

I had to , had to write about this product which does what it claims to do !Finally the one product in my vanity which I shall buy and buy and buy unless and until Forest Essentials withdraw making one of thsese. I am an Indian with Medium to Wheatish skin tone .With my recent harmonal imbalance I developed dark spots , freckles over my face and I was desperate to use any product advertised which claimed to erase them off , but in vain ,none seem to have worked !Just like any girl I was overzealous and literally abused my skin with various skin products for pigmentation .After a lot of trail and error I finally got my hands on this Facial cleanser which by far has showed considerable inherent change on my skin.Yes you need to have some patience for the dark spots /freckles to lighten and also slooow down the process of your skin making them .Treat your skin with good care and it will glow back !And what best than an Ayurvedic preparation for your precious skin?

What women want? Mesmerizing eyes , because eyes say it all !And to get those in the simplest way is the use Kajal on your waterline .Though Kohl is just another name.But I must say of all the Natural , Organic , Blackest Black , Smudge proof , no nonsense Kohl  Kajals I have tried , Lakme Absolute Kohl Ultimate is by far the best one I used and thus the review!Kajal/Kohl is my quintessential item which I use whenever I go out .Especially with my almond shaped small eyes a Kohl pencil does a lot.I look better in photos , eyes look wee bit bigger and intense , so its my favourite.My skin is dry and my eye area is dry too and this product seems like its made for me ;glides on smooth , feels comfortable and that tinge of moisturising feeling indeed.As the product claims it has moisturising ceramides which I guess does the job.Such drama it adds to my eyes , I just cant explain , you gotta try one for yourself. Produ...

Organic face mask??Must be very expensive ,but I would say no! The Clay Mask from Oriflame has organic burdock extracts which makes a special pick to recommend especially for normal to oily skins.As you know my skin is dry and obviously I tried this only once , did me a clarifying look but again not a frequent user.But I am giving a review because my mum-in-law loves this product,she says this is the best. In fact she is very choosy when it comes to picking any stuff , literally any kind of stuff , but she vouches on this product.Since this routine does not take much time , she uses it especially when attending parties etc., .Even before she runs out of this product she immediately asks me to order it.This means that this product works great of aged skin,because in an another encounter , even my elderly sister who lives in Australia liked it a lot. Product Type: Face Mask Core Concern: Purifying effect on skin. Price: 250INR (On OFF...

Oh yes ! My much awaited parcel from Oriflame arrived.And this time the newly launched advanced foot scrub with two in one action caught my attention.I could not resist trying the scrub and it worked so well on my feet. Yup ,just like you, I have used many expensive scrubs from........... oh ! You name it ,I used it ,but this one instantly rejuvenates my dried dead feet !Trust me , Scrub in! Product Type : Foot Scrub Core Concern : Instant Soft ,Smooth feet Price : Introductory Offer Price 179Rs. for 100ml. FEET UP ADVANCED 2 IN 1 DEEP ACTION FOOT SCRUB By ORIFLAME The best part is it comes in a tube unlike most other scrubs.For my "high maintenance feet " ,this one is a blessing ,be it a travel or a touch up for my feet in between pedicure,this one goes a long way .My feet are so darn dry that my feet look ugly just two days post my saloon pedicure.It somehow scrubs and at the same time moisturises my dry feet and they look "oh so just got a pedicure" types.For...

Just a try and worth a try !Ordered this Konad Aroma Therapy Hand Mask from an on-line store along with my other stuff which I would be reviewing later.This is the first of its kind that I used and am pleased but not too pleased .For extremely dry hands like mine ,they are an O.K product,but people with normal skin might be just so lucky to instantly revive their hands to magical soft ones. Product Type: Ready to Use Hand Mask. Core Concern: Ready to use , aroma mask. Price: 170 Rs for one pair /pack. AROMA RELAXING HAND MASK By KONAD This pack claims to instantly moisturise you hand and it does !I used it after scrubbing my hands with Forest Essentials Sea Rose Crystal Scrub , rinsed off , pat dried and put these gloves on .Good thing about these is that you can hold anything , do any work using them unlike other home-made almond pack that I traditionally use to moisturise post my manicures.This one is so easy to use and do a little bit of massage onc...

Its always been confusing !Buying blush , the right shade , the right tone , the correct finish ...can be exhausting especially for Indian women who are not so "blush" types.Even I was apprehensive about using a blush , but after a lot of trail and error , for the look I want I realised I need a shimmer free , matte blush.I mean to start with :P But what shade??I searched for matte free blush in many brands;not many and again not the right shade that would blend to look healthy and natural. Finally I after a lot of thinking I picked the Perfect Blush in Fresh Pink by Oriflame. Product Type: Face Blush Core Concern: Matte Effect Blush Price: 498 Rs (full price ) ORIFLAME PERFECT BLUSH IN FRESH PINK by ORIFLAME   SWATCH This is the perfect blush to start with ,especially for a healthy glowing look ,this one is for you .Looks good on fair to medium skin tones.So this one places itself in those long list of "must haves".Its truly matte , no shimmer at all , the compared...
