Finally May... Ends...phew!

I did not shop any make-up products in the month of May 2015 as it was so hot and humid in Mumbai. I just did not want to try out any new products or experiment anything with my skin unless it was something I trust.

I kept going back to these products most of the time and therefore picked them up as my faves for this month. 

  • Lotus Herbals Colorkick Kajal
I got this randomly and I did not even want one (already owning fresh piece of Maybelline Colossal Kajal and  L'oreal Paris Kajal Magique); however, I was attracted to the packaging and recommended by a friend saying "its super black", that was enough for me to shell INR 199 and buy it. Luckily for me I have been loving it and using it all through because it is super soft and highly pigmented. It did not crease and last for good 6-7 hours without smudging. You require some kind of a makeup remover to take it off completely.
  • Maybelline Colorshow Lipstick and Colorsentational Lipgloss & Nyx Black Label Lipstick
Both the lipsticks were purchased in 2014 and there is nothing fancy about them except that they are super creamy and light-weight at the same time. The Maybelline Colorshow Lipstick in the shade Violet Vibe 408 - the only purple lip color which I am OK with and Nyx Black Label Lipstick in the shade BLL 114 - Diva - my all time nude lippie fave ~ its just the perfect blue-based nude for me. I am not a lip gloss fan especially when the weather is all sticky and humid but it was perfect for those summer evenings and night outs and I would always grab my hands on the Maybelline colorsentational lip gloss Mirrored Mauve - its the perfect nude lip gloss! Highly recommend it :)

  • Eskinol Avocado Cleanser
My all time favorite cleanser, it just takes off all the extra gunk from my face whenever I use it. I know my face is clean and clear when I use this, especially perfect for summer months. (Do not recommend it for sensitive skin)

  • DKNY - Be Delicious Candy Apple Scent and Bath and Body Works - Coconut Water Chill
Summer is not the time for perfumes, more for splash and mists to keep you smelling great; however, this perfume was just one scent I could wear and not feel weighed down. I have used it everytime for my summer evening outings and it would always linger when it was breezy and I loved it. It has the perfect scent of green apple but the freshness of a quick shower as well - thats best how I can describe this scent. If I was not picking up by DKNY perfume, I would intuitively grab my hands on BBW - Coconut Water Chill - it is a perfect summer fragrance even for day time and is long lasting.
  • Maybelline Gel Eyeliner in Black, Miss Claire Eye Pencil - Denim Blue and WetnWild - Walking on Eggshells Palette 
The trio was the most used in month of May because of its ability to just co-operate with the humidity levels of Mumbai. None of these creased on me or made me feel weighed down. Pretty much everyone has experienced using these...

  • Lotus Whiteglow Face Masque and Alpha H Microcleanse
I used the face masque about 4-5 times in the month of May as it helped in clearing my face, giving it a glow - it has yogurt which felt cool on my skin and I have been using this face mask from past 3-4 years. Alpha H Microcleanse it something new and I own a sample size of it which i received with my Luxola.com haul. I have used it only 2 times but it has this nice spa like fragrance to it and does relax me out after using it; however, I did not see it work wonders from a skin product point of view.

Bioderma Node DS+ Shampooing Review

Bioderma! A brand every skin/hair care fancying woman greedily hoards. Well in my case I needed to pick this "heaven sent" product to heed to my never-ending, every stalking dandruff problem. I have been facing persistent dandruff right since I was a kid, but with time and changing products the flaky snow on my head just got worse. I had been using The Body Shop - Ginger Anti Dandruff shampoo, as mentioned in my earlier post here , I never swore by it that it did any good or bad to my dandruff situation, but I still continue using it every once a while and avoid using it on my scalp off-late. I was recommended this shampoo by my dermatologist as  I recently had some problem with an allergy on my lip (about that I will cover in another post - coming soon!) which was triggered by dandruff *sighs*. Ok back to Bioderma Node DS+ shampoo Claims of this product: - Reduces rapid increase of Malassezia yeast which triggers dandruff - Prevents recurre...

M.A.C Lipstick Review - M.A.C Matte Lipstick - Shade Diva

My M.A.C Lipstick in Diva When it comes to M.A.C lipsticks I can go on and on, a true lipstick lover will know that M.A.C lipstick is the queen of lipsticks because of its wide range of formulas and shades. Whenever I buy an high-end lipstick, for me the shade matters the most, I do not like buying bold shade for fear I won't use it much and it won't justify the price. I wanted a red tone matte lipstick from M.A.C but at the same time I did not want a bold red or orange red tone lipstick as it would not flatter my skin tone. I almost left the counter thinking red is out of question, matte red is totally out of question and then I happen to swatch M.A.C Diva - I always looked at M.A.C Diva as more of an autumn-wintery shade and that it would look more festive and wine shadey kinda color. My First Impression: My mind: "Oh my my, it can be red, ok get your view right - its more blue-based red on you, not redddd...marooooon, maroon is a nice shade!"  My...
