Working On My Reading Game!

How is it even June so early?!

This year, my reading game has been so poor, I must admit that I have a huge pile of books that need some reading, which I did not, as I was busy binge-watching TV series and Youtube.

I have read a couple of books this year so far, but mostly on my phone which sucks, I really do not enjoy reading books on an electronic device - but those books were something I did not want to own so...

Some of them were:

- The Bastard of Istanbul by Elif Shafak (I own this one)

- Orange is the new black by Piper Kerman (ditched it mid way - found the tv series better)

- The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo (some tips were fine)

- The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman (Easy read - read it in a day - good one)

- You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay (Obsessed! Easy read and quite inspirational)

- The Secret by Rhonda Byrne (Heard so much about this one - I had to read it - Again inspirational)

- The Magic by Rhonda Byrne (Similar to The Secret)

Currently Reading - Mossad by Michael Bar-Zohar & Nissim Mishal

My to be read pile:

*SITA - Warrior of Mithila - By Amish - Eagerly waiting to read this one

*Wise & Otherwise - By Sudha Murty

*When the Moon is Low by Nadia Hashimi

*Angel of the Dark by Tilly Bagshawe

*The Talion Tale by Rahul Apte

My reading wishlist for the rest of the year:

*The Ministry of Utmost Happiness by Arundhati Roy

*Option B by Sheryl Sandberg

*Men Without Women by Haruki Murakami

*A House Without Windows by Nadia Hashimi

*I Hid My Voice By Parinoush Sainee

*Friend Request by Laura Marshall

*They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera

Happy Reading

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...

Makeup Revolution - Death By Chocolate

Today I will be reviewing on the Makeup Revolution - Death By Chocolate palette. This palette is well known for it being a dupe for the Too Faced - Chocolate Bar palette; however, in a much inexpensive option. There have been many arguments of it being a dupe or it not being a dupe, while weighing the pros n cons of each of the product. If you ask me, which is the better one? I do not know the answer, because I am yet to take the plunge on the pricier one. Anyway, I am in complete awe of this product, be it the packaging, the pigmentation, the color shade, the variety of matte and shimmers and mostly importantly the way it smells - So So So Wonderful! Shade Names: Left to right Top Row: White Light, Don't Let Go, Break Me Up, Consume Me, All is Lost Middle Row: Lick Me, Fool's Gold, One More Bar, Devour Me, Tear The Wrapper, Love You to Death Bottom Row: Pray for Me, Dipped, Tease Me, Set Me Free, Bring Down Angels Above, is my palette - y...

VLCC Pista Massage Cream Review

For good number of years, I have been using the facial kits by VLCC, it is a good last minute self-facial treat and does the job of putting up a sublime glow to your face without spending an hour or two at the salon. I thought to give this product a try , as I was looking for a massage cream, which I can include in my weekend pamper sessions. I did not want a high-end brand or an expensive product because sometimes I just like a simple scrub, face wash, face pack combination of pamper sesh' for my face and thats it! About the packaging and price It is a 50g massage cream which retails for Rs. 260/-. It is not a new product by VLCC and has been in the market for a while. It comes in a plastic jar and is well sealed. In terms of packaging it is nothing fancy and it has a plastic covering with all the details of the ingredients, price, expiry date and method of usage. About the product and usage The cream is green in color and has a slightl...
