#BeEcoBeauty by Oriflame India

Hey guys, how is your sunday evening coming along? Another weekend has passed by. I wonder how the time flies so fast sometimes, don't you? 

I had quite a low January in terms of Health and it just gives me all the more reason to take certain things in life seriously.  In these stressful times, what we keep looking for is a good body, good skin and ultimately, good health. Not just from the outside but inside too. With all sorts of pollution and chemical almost taking over many parts of our lives, it is becoming all the more important to be closer to nature and inculcate its goodness in our lives.

To help you achieve radiant and healthy skin, it is important to use nature-friendly products, eat healthy, sleep abundant and keep the stress at bay.

Last weekend I got a chance to attend the launch of the all new product category by Oriflame India - Eco Beauty. 

"For Hydrated and luminous skin."

Invite to the event!

Here's a glimpse from the event and the products:

I have started reviewing the products and will soon be blogging about it. The range consists of:

• Ecobeauty Cleansing Milk
• Ecobeauty Eye Cream
• Ecobeauty Face Cream

Stay tuned! Don't forget to tell me which product would you like to use and why?

What do you want from your life?

I read an article last year which made me question myself in more than many ways. 

What do I want from my life? 

Is what I have in present should continue for the future? May be? I was not sure. We all want something or the other from our life. Be it a better job or a loving family, a healthy lifestyle, more money, good sex, happiness; all this seem quite ubiquitous as that article said. 

What is it in your life that you are ready to face pain for or are willing to struggle for? Now, that is a question one should ask themselves. We might want many a things in our lives but are we ready to give it all for those things? Everyone wants a well-paying job but how many are of us are ready to work through-it-all? Get things you wish for without any risk? Without any hardwork? Without any passion? Now, that is difficult. Quite impossible actually. I am sure you would not want to settle for; what if, may be, I wish, was that it, is there more; do we?

We all want a healthy relationship but are not ready to go through the emotional turmoil it might bring. We all wish for a healthy lifestyle but believe in sleeping a little more in our cosy little bed on a January morning. We all desire a family and time to spend with them but are reluctant to face them after a long day at work.

Now, am not asking you all to stress more, sit for more hours at work, sleep less or accept everything that comes by; but to work for things you want, let go off things or people or feelings that no longer bring you happiness, spend more time with your people who bring positivity, spend more time with family and not be that paying guest who only comes at night to sleep, tell your best friends you love them and mean it, take your siblings out and spend time with them, call your parents and talk, take out time from work and do things you like doing (it is okay if it pays you less or doesn’t pay at all).

I have found that working on things I love has made me like what I do otherwise. Things in life are looking for a balance, seek for it.

Because, the answer isn’t in what you want from your life but, what are you willing to give.

Best wishes for 2017!

TBC by Nature - 24ct Gold Body Lotion Review

Nourish and protect your skin this winters with TBC by Nature Winter Skin Care Range!

Like many of you, my skin too tends to dry and lack moisture during winters. To make sure that the skin is least affected, I follow a skin ritual which makes me moisturise my skin - first, before leaving for office and second when I hit the bed at night. 

I recently receive this 24ct Gold Honey & Almond Body Lotion from TBC by Nature, which claims to have a 12 hour long lasting affect on your skin.

I love how the lotion smells. It is not too overpowering and yet manages to linger on for a long time. Rich in Almond and Honey - the 2 most important ingredient you will find in many winter care products - while honey nourishes your skin and makes it supple, almond helps to moisturise & brighten it.

It also contains Glycerin, Aloe Vera, Ashwagandha, Wheat Germ Oil and Vitamin E. The packaging is good. Although, it can be better!

Top 3 Hits:

1. The Fragrance
2. Hydration Level lasts for 5-6 hours (win-win for me!) 
3. Cream is rich and gets quickly absorbed into the skin

3 misses:

• Packaging (I wish it was more appealing!)
• The cream is too runny
• Not easy to travel with (For my recent trip, I had to transfer it to a smaller bottle which easily fits into my handbag)

Price: 169 INR for 300 ml

This is the first time I have used a product by TBC and it sure hasn't disappointed me :) It is available on Flipkart and Amazon.

Do give it a try!

Much Love,

Diary writing is LOVE, and you should do it too!

Often, certain things in life take you back in time. I remember writing diary on a regular basis during my school days. Good, bad, ugly or best - every moment of my life was in it. Slowly, the practise died. Got into college, assignments, time with friends overpowered life. 

Sunday morning, I thought of them again. Looked for my collection of diaries and journals. All empty. Over the last 5-6 years, I have just collected them. Never written in them. May be I should start again, and you should too! Here's a glimpse.

There are more than many reasons one should start keeping a diary, some of them being:

1. It's a major throwback: You take photos to keep memories, diary does that for you too, in a more personal manner.

2. It is a therapy on bad ways: Take it from someone who used to write and keep a diary for 6 straight years, putting down your feelings make one feel much better and think more clearly.

3. It helps you improve your writing style: One learns to write better with practise. Keep practising :)

4. Check!
Have a long wishlist or or even a small to-do list for the day? Write it down. Writing a diary helps one accomplish it better! Write and check it off your list often, it is sure to give you a sense of relief.

5. Personal Development: You learn! Every time you write and read, you become better. You learn how you were 5 years ago and determine to be better.

Try, it works!

Here's to a wonderful 2017 :)

Perfect Lipstick Shades for all-day look!

Lipsticks make for the best beauty accessory a girl can have. Of course, a clear second after that gorgeous smile! 

A right hint of the right lipstick can complete your look in a few seconds. I have been meaning to blog about my current 4 favourite and vibrant colours & finally got this Sunday to do it. Out of the 4, I picked one for my mom for she loves everything dark red/maroon and classy on her lip. 

What about you? Which one is your favourite? Read on the blog where I review lipsticks from 2 brands I totally love when it comes to lip shades – Colorbar Cosmetics and Oriflame India.

Giordani Gold Jewel Lipstick - Red Attraction

This one’s what I picked for the 2^nd time from Oriflame and been using since over a month now! Cashmere-soft lipstick, this Red Attraction from Oriflame belongs to its Giordani Gold Jewel Lipstick Family. 

I usually wear it to work, re-apply once in the afternoon or evening. It keeps my lips hydrated and moisturised for all day. Intense colour and lusciously creamy, the colour lasts for at least 5-6 hours. I have reviewed it once before, do read! 

Your first impression is sure to be that packaging, golden and classy. Isn’t it?

Giordani Gold Iconic Lipstick Fuschia Divine

Part of their recent launch, the Fuschia Divine shade from the Giordani Gold Iconic Lipstick Family of Oriflame is LOVE! It is creamy with satin-finish, SPF-15 protection for your lips. Now who wouldn’t want that?

The brand promise that is has restorative Argan Oil which ensures lasing comfort and superior pigments for colour intensity.  It has the Giordani’s G inscribed over it & smells heaven – like a cupcake!

Colorbar Cosmetics - 3D Matte Lip Color- Cocktail Collection – Cosmopolitan

Okay so, talk about walking-in a store or glancing online; this is a 10/10 when it comes to the lipstick box! A revolutionary 3D matte Lipcolor, this lipstick is a part of Colorbar’s Cocktail Collection. It is super-creamy, non-drying matte formula, to make your lips look & feel amazing.

A colour that you will love wearing all day long, this lipstick has amazing pigmentation and colour dispersion. One thing that I love about this lipstick is the fact that it provides a full-lip coverage in a single swipe. Nice, isn’t it?

 Colorbar Cosmetics - Diamond Shine Lipstick – Expensive Garnet

This is one shade that my mom loved! It is a perfect cocktail party high shine, super creamy pick for all the girls who love their lips dark.

A mesmerising and super creamy texture, this is Colorbar’s Expensive Garnet from the Cocktail Collection. A superior colour dispersion with full shimmer effect, the Colorbar lipsticks are paraben-free and not animal-tested. Sure win!

So, which one’s your favourite?
