More Gossip!!

· · 15 Comments

Ok, so, I am in no position to do a post today so thought I shall just post a little more of gossip 😀 I hope you don’t get bored of it. Actually, I am returning by tomorrow morning’s train. Yeah, I know, its so tiring and flights are way too easy but then the cost as well adds up so I thought I would rather spend the remainder on clothes or shoes 😀 Worst thing that my wait list is not yet confirmed 🙁 I am just hoping for the best otherwise I have Rajdhani to rely on or otherwise a flight!! UPDATE: I am going by flight and there goes my plan of shopping 🙁
Oh btw, I got Tresmode today, yay!!! Finally, I got peep-toe sandals of my size. Oh yes, footwear is a huge headache for me as I love only flats (my balance is too bad for even a one inch heel if its not a platform)!! And, my size is 3, can you imagine??? Sometimes, I have to shop from kids section!! And, most of the times, the salesman are staring at me that I have such small feet..I am like give me a break!!! So, I have got huge huge haul to share with you guys 🙂 And, yes, I am gonna announce the Aloe Veda winners soon as well after I get confirmation from the PR people.
Btw, for all the would-be brides, I have an advise or a product recommendation as you would like to take it. Forest Essentials Bath & Shower Oils. Yeah, they have four fragrances – Tuberose or rose (not sure), Mashobra Honey and Vanilla, Sandalwood (I guess) and one more. And, all smell divine. I got Tuberose one and Mashobra Honey both. And, whenever I smell them, I die and go to heaven 😀 Yes, they are expensive with around 1000 bucks for 100ml. But, an absolute luxury. So, give your body a treat for your special days 🙂 Chalo, see ya then from Hyderabad. Au Revoir.

Aloeveda Moisturising Bathing Bar Indian Khus with Kewda Extracts {Product Review}

· · 2 Comments

Price: Rs 65 for 100gms

Ingredients
Aloeveda Soap @ Perfect Skin Care for you
Soap noodles transparent (80%), Merquat Plus 3330, Sodium PCA (3%), Sorbitol (2%), Aloevera Gel (2%), Vitamin E, Green Paste, Indian Khus with Kewda extracts.
Pros
– it smells really good!! I don’t know if its Kewda smell or what but if that’s what Kewda smells like, I would love to get an attar of Kewda (I don’t know what Kewda is but I do know that its one of the most famous perfume fragrances of India).
Cons
– it doesn’t do well on the moisturizing front but then it doesn’t really leave the skin scaly dry either so its good for summers. 
– I personally don’t like transparent soaps (so this is not exactly a con).

PS: Product sent by brand.

Ice Cubes to control Sweat {Tip of the Day}

· · 7 Comments

It’s so hot in Delhi and I sweat a lot so I really need something extra for keeping the sweat away. And, I remembered my ice cube tip which I used to use pretty long back. So, I decided to use it again. And, oh, it feels so good in this sultry heat. So, the tip is simple. Take an ice cube and rub it thoroughly on your face and neck till it melts away. And, let it dry or use a wash cloth to drain out the extra water and you are good to go!!! Using an ice cube ensured that I didn’t sweat excessively afterwards and also, it kept my skin relatively cool.

Also, another tip is to use the ice cube before applying the makeup to make it last longer. Also, using an ice cube helps the foundation to go evenly on the skin and hide the pores as well as they get constricted. Ok, so sometime back, I also received a comment saying that applying ice cubes makes the skin dry. No, it doesn’t. In fact, its just water so it hydrates the skin. Also, yes, you have to moisturize afterwards if you have a dry skin. Since my skin does get sweaty, I avoid moisturizers sometimes but its not a healthy habit. In fact, I didn’t avoid moisturizer after applying the ice cube since the moisturizer does get absorbed pretty quickly due to the damp skin. Find a good moisturizer for your skin type and don’t skip it ever!!
