Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Face pack Review

I had previously tried this face pack when it was just launched.It stinged and burned my skin then and hence I never dared to try it back again.Few days back I had ordered it for my friend on whom this worked very well.But as the mfg was a bit older I thought of keeping it with me. I was a bit sick for last few days and there were some small n big pimples coming up here n there (I have otherwise normal-dry skin fyi) I gave this a shot again..

Hashmi Kajal Tube Review

A girl cant get enough of black kohls/kajals..and am not an exception to that.So ,when I saw Urbantouch.com stocking them I was super excited to try them out ! (more so as Vidya Balan raves about these too )


I prefer to line my eyes thinly! somehow bold lines dont suite my small eyes at all.So,i decided to give the kajal stick a pass (I knew i would be messy with it) and bought the one in tube.


Hashmi says-


I found out the following from Hashmi surma- official website

An oriental herbal preparation incorporating the finest materials and medicinal herbs, presented in the form of black paste in tubes, a creamy formula which applies easily and smoothly. With this you have a long wearing colour without any fading and flakes. Easily applied via high definition applicator to attain a precision point across your eyelids. It better shapes and defines your eyelids. It harmoniously blends to supple your eyelids a vivid, tender and sheer look. The applicator glides on smoothly without any flakes and dripping.



HOW TO APPLY
Clean the probe with the help of clean dry cloth. Dip it into the bottle and twist. Take out the probe, tap it gently to remove any excess material. Apply the probe into the eye. Repeat the same process for the other eye.

Veet Supreme Essence Hair Removing Cream Review

Well..err..am one of those lesser fortunate girls who are genetically blessed( pun intended) with body hair.Nah! not those fine ,remotely visible types..but coarse ,dark and ugghh types ..got the picture. And,moreover my pain threshold is very very less.So electronic epilators are definitely a big no and waxing at parlour happens once in a blue moon!


I had tried other epilating creams from anne french and veet(the blue,green and pink ones),but did almost nothing and my hairs were back within a day and spikey like porcupines :| and also,those strong urea smells  :(


A few months back on a random visit to my grocery shop I saw this purple-ey package and was immedietly tempted to try it. Since then this has been my most favourite epilating cream and read on why ! ;-)

I had been trying to do a smokey eye look for sometime and the two times i tried i failed miserably and ended up with racoon eyes.Moreover my eyes are bit on the smaller side (sigh! how i wish it was like Bipasha Basu !!) which made it worse!

But Today afternoon i managed to do it (k..totally amaeteur look) but couldn't wait to share with ou ! :)  

A bit Warning - no foundation or concealer,scars n fine hairs r visible (as I did not think of posting this while starting) and i didn't use any greys..still it looks a bit grey :P

Being a warm toned-fair skin girl i love everything in brown! and moreover browns give you a soft everyday look , a bit different from the stark black kohl..na?This is one of the most coveted e/s quad from Maybelline and has been in the market for a long time... but then Maybelline decided to bring a li'l bit of shimmer and rearrange the quads! I recently got this revamped version for moi !





I adore this quad ! you can combine the shades to bring out a nice sexy brown smokey eye or get an elegant warm bronze brown traditional eye make up..or even ,just a wash with the neutral brown shade looks great for everyday go to work eye do ! :)

  • gentle-formulated for sensitive eyes it is especially very gentle for the delicate skin around eyes
