Fuschia Arabian Jasmine Anti-ageing Night Cream

Blessed with flawless skin in your 40’s? — Seems like talking blasphemy in this millennium where you are surrounded by radioactive rays and polluted air. But if someone still proclaims having that, one must be really privileged. No matter how good care of our skin we take, we always remain dissatisfied with the results. Today, I’m not only going to review a new anti-wrinkle skin cream, but also sharing my skincare regimen and my experience with the products I use. My Skincare Concerns: When I say I’m blessed with a glowing, flawless, healthy and firm skin, despite being in my 40’s, I really mean it.

Everyone, in today’s glossy world, wants a clean, fuss-free, hair-free and care-free skin and while achieving it, life becomes quite a mess.

The Style Symphony turns one today and nothing could be merrier than to celebrate this occasion with a gala contest. 😀 About Jolen India: Our association with Jolen dates back to the late 80’s and early 90’s when Jolen was not even available in India. Jolen bleach had remained the top choice of all the ladies of my family then when someone had to go to U.S. or Canada and they used to handover their cosmetic list. Then, in early 90’s the revolution called ‘Jolen bleach’ came to India and all of them took a sigh of relief. Now there was a safe solution for their unwanted hair and skin tanning problems available right here in India. Everyone knows that using Jolen…

kitchen skin remedies

Ever since our childhood, we’ve seen our Grannies and mothers with glowing skin and their secret lies in the kitchen shelves. In today’s busy life no one has that time to curate beauty tips from kitchen ingredients including fruits, veggies and spices. So, very easily we switch over to chemicals and preservatives for the quick fix solutions for our skin problems. But, in course of time, our skin starts reacting against those tortures we humans make towards nature. That leads to pigmentation, freckles, pimples, blackheads, break-outs, premature aging, skin decaying and what not! So, it’s better to rely upon those timeless yet effective beauty tips taught by our Grannies and Great grannies.

Rapunzel Hair

This post was among the top 10 winning posts in #HappyHairChallenge by Garnier India! Garnier, Take care — And, I was taken care of! It was a month long journey of care, concern, pampering and nourishment and the Rapunzel in me was sorted. Garnier Triple Nutrition range was that fairy God mother who bestowed upon me a problem-free flair in my dark-lustrous hair. Mine was a Rapunzel story where my prince-charming begged to grab my braid [Though, in my imagination]. “Rapunzel, Rapunzel; let down your hair, So that I may climb the golden stair” But the twist in the tale was that I refused him (my dream prince charming). How could I allow someone to touch my mane, I couldn’t dare to damage them. It’s only allowed by someone who can take care and that’s Garnier. Neither I needed the ‘[highlight]Goldie locks[/highlight]’, nor I wished for those ‘[highlight]Medusa curls[/highlight]’; all I…

boroplus cosmetics hamper

Spring is come with refreshing breeze of change! Though we all love everything about spring, those new leaves, fresh flowers, fragrance in the air, but what bothers us much is the change in our skin tone—Dry flakes, chapped lips, irritating red patches that resemble those dry leaves that are the by-product of spring.
