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.

Lotus Professional Phyto-Rx Whitening & Brightening Serum Review

I have always liked a good Lotus product every now and then. Sometime during the start of winters I decided to include serums in my skincare routine, now a dry skin baby like me needs to think a couple of times before adding something new to my skincare routine so as to not further dry my skin and that too in winters. I started using the  Lotus Professional Phyto-Rx Whitening & Brightening Serum from December last year and I was using it on alternate days and night, as I do not believe using something new regularly just to see how my skin is reacting in the first few days. I picked this product from the Nykaa winter sale and managed to get a good discount as well. The MRP is INR 545 for 30ml and usually you do end up getting discount of 20-25% on Nykaa. Though, it is not a super pricey product, discounts always help while purchasing a "never tried before" product. I was waiting to use it for a month or so, before I could share my two cents on it. Now abou...

Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color - Shade Cali Rose

I won't consider myself as a total lipstick junkie, but, yeah l ipsticks are my thing, no doubt, and no matter how I have this "love at first sight" obsession with new lip products, I always kinda make the lipstick and my relationship almost "playing hard to get" till I really I start using it. For this baby - I gave up, I GAVE UP! I AM USING IT NON-STOP, ever since I bought it. There are total 20 shades to choose from and the colors ranges from pink-peach, coral nude tones, to rosy pinks, to some really hot reds and then to those more vampy typa shades in burgundy and maroon. Which means, there is at least one for everyone in the bucket. Each of these beauties will cost your pocket INR 1700 for 3.4g of product, which in my opinion, is pretty decent for a high-end brand of lipstick.  The packaging itself is this classy Bobbi Brown black matte case with the center  portion of the case depicting the color of the product. This really helps whe...

Things I Am Loving Lately...

Google Image Since, it is a month of love and things related to love, I thought why not throw in a post about things I've been loving lately... Well, I know the whole buzz about Valentines' Day and all the days preceding to it are not so much related about loving "things", so much as loving a person or people or even yourself. But, I am no expert on the subject to write anything lovey-dovey, so I will do what I think I know best, talk about things I have loved recently. Reading I won't classify myself to be a voracious reader or anything close to that, but every now and then, I enjoy a good book. Reading is a great way to realize how simple life can be, without all the complexities of the wifi and social media. I read a book by Sudha Murty - Wise And Otherwise, it was a good start to begin my reading game again, as it is a compilation of 51 short stories, mostly based on her experience and observations about day to day life. I am currently readin...
