Ingredients

Complete ingredient list is provided at the back of the bottle. It contains Sodium Laureth Sulphate which makes this shampoo detergent/surfactant based.

Packaging

Comes in a sturdy black plastic bottle. The opaque bottle never gives you an idea of how much shampoo is left in the bottle. The mouth of the bottle has a tiny button which has to be pressed to dispense the shampoo.

Usage

The texture of this shampoo is slight creamy and has a pearly appearance. I dilute a small quantity with water, pour it on my wet hair and work it up into a lather. It lathers quite well and only a small amount of this shampoo is needed for it.

What I liked about the product

Cleans hair well
Contains biotin & argan oil (in small quantities)

What I didn’t like about the product

Made my hair frizzy
Contains SLES

Price: Rs 64 for 100ml

Recommendation

This shampoo is a total miss for me! The only thing it did was to remove the pre-wash hair oil. It never gave me salon like hair. My mom has extremely dry colored hair, it didn’t work for her either. For me this shampoo fails to live up to its claims. I won’t be repurchasing it.

Again Lemon!

One of the most simple and cheap things you can do to beautify your skin is hot lemon water.

An age-old cure for sore throats, this simple drink is amazing for your body and skin, and ultimately your beauty.

Every morning I boil up 1.5 cups of water and add a quarter of a fresh lemon to it. The fresh scent of lemon invigorates the senses to wake me up, and helps me cut down on my caffeine intake which only dehydrates me and irritates my skin.

There are several other perks to hot lemon water.

1. Balances your pH: Lemons act as an alkaline in your body which helps regulate your pH balance. A disrupted pH can lead to acne breakouts and other skin issues.

2. Anti-Aging: The vitamin C found in lemons helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as blemishes. It does this by purging your body of nasty toxins in your blood that affect your skin clarity.

3. Hydrating: Not only is this additional cup of H2O hydrating to you, but it quenches your lymph system’s thirst. Your lymph system is integral in ridding your body of toxins, maintaining a healthy balance of nutrient and mineral distribution, relieving stress and creating energy. All of these things affect your body’s largest organ; your skin!

If you want clear, radiant, youthful looking skin then add a cup or two of hot lemon water to your daily routine and enjoy the beauty boosting benefits.

So, How many times have you bought online by now? Well, for me, the count is like around last one year, almost everything was done online. Well, am I fan of online shopping? Nah, I still like the idea of going to shops and checking out things, especially books.

But, things are still easy online when you are feeling lazy. And, now the good part is you have so many coupons which you can use to avail discounts on the websites. Sounds awesome, right? I recently came to know of the coupon culture in US and now its in India!

Anyways, let me recount what happened yesterday. My dad is gonna come to Hyderabad so he needed to finish the hotel booking. And, only recently, I came to know of Couponation. So, I was very happy to direct dad to the site when he asked me if I had any coupons or discounts!

And, guess what, he got a damn good deal on the hotel booking. But, the flight was booked just a day before when I totally forgot to tell him about the website. So, that was sad. But, still I went and checked out the website for what coupons it had and it had some good deals for Makemytrip, Yatra and GoIbibo (well, that’s my favorite of all).

So, that was quite an experience, huh! Oh btw, in case you are thinking you have to waste money buying the coupons, its free! You don’t have to even register which is like awesome coz I totally hate going to a site and getting a page which says fill in your details.

So, have you shopped coupons yet?
