Plum Goodness Day Cream with SPF 30 Review - Goodness to start your Day

How do you expect a Day cream to be ?

This is a very tricky question and the answer varies depending on the skin type. If someone asks me this, my answer would be that an ideal day dream should be  light weight, slightly runny, quick absorbing that provides hydration as well as UV protection in summers. While in winters, I would prefer a more thicker and a more nourishing cream which would provide the necessary moisture to my skin.

Some times I just dab on some sunscreen and use a matte powder on top of it for a quick fix, but it does not stay for long. My skin turns oily and sticky very quickly on such days which really puts me off. Though my skin is basically dry, sunscreens are not my cup of tea and I prefer a day cream that has SPF in it and keeps me fresh the whole day.

I have been trying Plum Goodness Light-stay Day cream with SPF 30 for the last one month and I have my opinion on it today for you :

Prevent Premature Graying of Hair with Jovees Regrowth and Revitalizing Hair Pack

Premature graying is in my genes because my mom got her first grey hair when she was 24 and dad got it when he was 25. But by God's grace, I did not inherit their genes for this and for your information, I am in my late twenties and I do not have a single grey hair(TOUCH WOOD). I apply some hair oil, be it plain coconut oil or any Ayurvedic oil at least twice a week and avoid chemical treatments as much as possible. I have not done any chemical treatments like coloring , straightening or softening till now and my hair texture is coarse and scalp is dry.

I apply home made henna paste to my hair once in a week or so and you can read about it here.

My Shopping Journey with Jabong.com - Chapter no 2 - Jubilation in a Jiffy

Online shopping can be both a blessing as well as a curse depending on the site we choose to shop with. I was always apprehensive about online shopping since I prefer selecting the product by the look and feel of it and I feel elated if I have the newly purchased products in my stash immediately.
P.S : I go crazy waiting for the items to arrive.

But you all know I have slowly come out of my shell and started experimenting and you can read my first online shopping experience here.This is my second shopping experience with Jabong.com and I must say it was pleasant even now.My mother too likes to shop from Jabong.com and she purchased a handbag during a recent sale and saved INR 600.

Jabong.com needs no introduction with their super easy to browse website, varied payment options and choice of brands.

Purchasing products from Blog Sale - Tips and my first Blog Sale Purchase

Most of them in the blogging world would be knowing what a Blog Sale is.
But for my readers who do not know what it is : A Blog Sale is the sale of cosmetics by bloggers which were used by them very few times and been given out at almost 50 to 60 % off on the MRP. 





With increasing prices of cosmetics, not everybody can afford to buy high end brands and a Blog sale is a blessing in disguise for some of them. When you have something on your wishlist and your budget is the only thing that has been stopping you from buying it, then be sure to grab it during such blog sales.

I was someone who was very apprehensive about buying from Blog Sales and I have my own tips jotted down for you to choose the right products during blog Sale :

Looking for a daily wear / office wear lipstick ? Colorbar Velvet Matte lipstick in 58 Bare - Review and Swatches

Though summers are about bright colors, there are some things which can never go out of fashion - a mild daily wear lipstick shade. Since last month my posts have depicted products which cost less than INR 1000 and at the same time deliver good quality. Joining the league here is our Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick in the shade Bare. Though I personally love sporting bright shades, which I prefer for an outing, on ordinary days, I prefer the MLBB (My lips But Better ) kind of shade. 

Colorbar lipsticks were on my wishlist for quite sometime and recently I managed to grab 2 of them.

One is Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick in the shade Bare which is really affordable and is suitable for daily use.

Plum Goodness Angel Eyes Khol Review, Swatches and FOTD

Though pencil liners finish up quite easily as against liquid liners that stay with you forever , these days I prefer to buy pencil liners because you get to experiment with different brands,  since there is a  need for buying new ones often. Moreover pencil liners have this multitasking option too - they can be used both on the lower waterline and on the eyelid too.

You all might have read lot of ravings from bloggers about the brand Plum Goodness . For those who do not know or have not heard about it - Plum Goodness was started in the year 2013 by a chemical engineer based out of Mumbai and he believes yoga is the best invention ever in India. He uses all natural products as ingredients and the products adhere to International standards.

Ethnic at its best !! - My day out to an Ethnic Location,sporting an Ethnic look

As much as I love wearing colorful tunics and western outfits, I also equally enjoy wearing a saree or any ethnic dress for that matter. My blog has featured posts with me wearing ethinic outfits ( mostly sarees ) but however I wanted to do something different this time. 

I was interested in doing a post which will not only involve everything ethnic, but also eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable fabrics. I have also taken care that the accessories that I have worn in this look and also my handbag is also eco friendly.  So when sporting such a look, should you not be in a location which again depicts the culture and heritage of India? I chose to shoot this in Dakshin Chitra which is a museum featuring the arts, crafts and traditions of different states of South India.

Lets go on to the pictures :

1 2 3 4 Get on the Dance Floor & Flaunt On the Catwalk !!

Wondering why such a dramatic title? This post is about a dramatic yet dignified lipstick named On the Catwalk from the brand Essence.I was a person who was totally apprehensive about wearing bright lipsticks and used to always go for milder shades, but beauty blogging has changed me. It has made me experiment with  different shades and it has given me the confidence to flaunt bright shades of lipsticks.

I rarely do online shopping and for cosmetics it is a sure No No since I prefer seeing the colors and trying them on me personally. When I had to choose the shade for the Essence lipstick (PR sample), I looked at some pictures of lipsticks on their website & chose Essence long lasting lipstick- On the Catwalk, but however was rather apprehensive on what I would be receiving. On receiving the sample my worst fears seem confirmed , as Essence  On the Catwalk looked quite dark for me on first look. But the minute I applied it, it changed my opinion totally and now I can vouch for it and I feel it suits me very well.

There is plenty to grumble about - Health & Glow Lavender Exfoliating Scrub is one such

One recent purchase that I totally regret !! 

Health & Glow does come up with a lot of products to keep up with the skincare market but it does not often keep up with the quality. Something that I recently stumbled upon which I think is a total dud is The health & Glow Lavender Exfoliating Scrub. I was wooed away by the packaging and the word lavender since lavender has a special role in bath time routines and it can give a soothing effect.
