Long long back, I had used the Nivea cleansing milk and I had really liked it. Last month, when I finished with the Neutrogena cleanser, I decided to try this out again. With a new packaging and improved ingredient list, it has come up again on the shelves. So, check out my updated review of this nivea cleansing milk. I have strike-d off the previous review but it is available for you to read. Please feel free to tell me what you think about this product.

This was another of my longing impulse buys as the packaging looked really cute to me. I have never ever used a cleansing milk before this so when I used it, I am not sure I liked it much. And, then, the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth cleanser arrived and this lay forgotten. But, I had to dig it out again after the Liz Earle sample got used up and believe me the 30ml sample did last me quiet long. Ok, may be due to the reason that I only need to take off the sunscreen!!! But, I am missing it!!! So, back to this review.

A creamy product which spreads easily on the face and removes all traces of sunscreen. I have never used it with any kohl pencil so I can not say how well it removes waterproof products from the face. It is great at removing the foundation and tinted lip balms from the lips.

As the name suggests, it leaves the skin refreshed and hydrated. It suits very well. Not sure if it would be great for oily skin but I can say that the product is extremely light in texture and feels very air-y. The fragrance is just regular one associated with nivea products. Interestingly, when I was checking out my older review, I came across the ingredient list of the earlier nivea cleansing milk. You can see the difference between both of them 🙂

The Book Corner Vol. 6 – “Stolen Hope” by Shubha Vilas Book Review

“Excellence is a by-product of persistently choosing quality over quantity.”

Ramayana is a part of us. In fact, both Ramayana and Mahabharata constitute a big part of who we are and how we grow up. Every one has a different perception of every event in both the epics. But, one thing holds true. Whether these epics were history is immaterial but the values they constitute hold true in our lives and will always do. This is what started Shubha Vilas on his journey to pen down his own interpretation of Ramayana and how it holds true in today’s lifestyle and society, even in the corporate board rooms.

This reminds me of a professor I used to know. He used to say that Mahabharata and Bhagvad Geeta answers every single problem of this universe, even the unresearched topics, not just philosophy and psychology.

The Story

Delay Management is about understanding that some problems need not be solved now. Many problems are solved by just postponing the attempt to solve them.

The Book Corner Vol. 5 – “The Bestseller She Wrote” by Ravi Subramaniam Book Review

Swathy · January 8, 2016 · 2 Comments

One week into the New Year and I have already finished two books so yay! In fact, we went binge shopping on books as well this week. Crossword was closing down its outlet at some place and to clear out the stock, they were offering 50% discount on all the books. We got like 20+ from the store including the Ice and Fire series (I have binged on GoT but not on the novels yet) and Agatha Christie collection. I so wanted all her books in my shelf. Expect a load of book reviews coming your way!

Life is all about choices you make, isn’t it? I made one. Why regret it?

Talking about book review, let me start with the first book this year. Ravi Subramaniam has made a mark for corporate thrillers. I had loved his last book God is a Gamer. But, this time he has forayed into the world of publishing and has explored the intricate topic of relationships. The story revolves around a author-turned banker.

The Story

IN A RELATIONSHIP, PARTICULARLY those that are adulterous in nature, the first time is always the most difficult. That’s the point in time when one’s conscience makes its presence felt the most and people are consumed by regret. Once that bridge is crossed, regret is often forgotten.
