LAKME Absolute Creme Lipstick in Sheer Berry


Alone I sit and gaze at my laptop screen, wondering what post to write next ,amidst the amount of pending work that I have. I always start a series on the blog and leave it half way because I get bored of the old idea soon and start looking for fresh ones. After about 30 minutes,I finally conclude that I am a TRUE GEMINI and start writing a new article thinking it is just normal for me to be that way. So basically, if I leave a series incomplete, it is not my fault, but the fault lies in my horoscope.Don't blame me !

The BOHO in me - Boho Embroidery Top and Stacked Bangles - OOTD

If you had read my 'What I wore in Phuket' post, you would have known that I love Boho outfits and accessories. While pondering over my love for all things Boho, I just stumbled upon the fact that I had a white Bohemian top (that many of you requested to do an OOTD post about) lying around and decided to do a post for the readers who requested for it. I bought the white top during my visit to Bugis street and it was featured in the Budget Shopping in Bugis post here.

I am a total summer person because I love bright colors and Summers lift up my spirits.Being raised in a place like Chennai where the seasons are not that distinct, I got easily accustomed to Tropical Singapore. There always is a quick shower in the afternoon but apart from that the weather is pretty much the same all through the year.


SUMMERS IMPLY SUNKISSED CHEEKS & TANNING!

How many of us have sunkissed cheeks naturally? I am not that blessed but definitely, I can fake one using the right product. Summer is all about the healthy glow on you although tanning is a part of this journey. Highlighting & Contouring has gained importance in the recent years and I feel it is really important to learn those techniques to give your face that sculpted look. Highlighting can be an easy task if you have a product like NYX Liquid Highlighter because you do not need any brush to deal with it. Just dot a few drops on the areas that require highlighting and blend with your fingers.

What I wore during my Phuket Trip - Video Alert Plus OOTD for Beach Vacation

I love planning my outfits ahead be it attending a wedding, or a party and while traveling too. Of course, every woman would love to do that and I too enjoy doing that along with shopping for those outfits.So when my Phuket trip got confirmed, the first thing that came to my mind was to look out for outfit inspirations online and then to head out for shopping. When it comes to western outfits, my personal favorite would be BOHO outfits and I really love to flaunt chunky jewelry too.I decided on a budget first and then headed out to my most favorite shopping store in Singapore, i.e : H&M. H&M has a great range of choices, size options and of course, SALE, so the first stop was at H&M.I got some of the boho outfits from H&M and the rest of the outfits are from my existing collection. So let us see what were the outfits that I wore and let me decode them for you.

Personalized Skincare & Cosmetics just for you from aplava.com



Don't you sometimes think that life is getting a lot easier these days with a lot more Apps and Websites working towards improving your lifestyle? Well, I definitely feel that the Internet is a blessing and there is so much out there which make our lives simpler. Being a beauty blogger and a person who loves to take good care of my skin and look presentable always, I keep looking for new launches and products that can help me achieve what I want. So this process can get a bit stressful when you have to browse through racks of products(traditional shopping) or pages of products(online shopping) to find the right one for you. But if I tell you that there is an alternative way to reduce your work but at the same time get the right products which would work for you, does that sound interesting?

Sephora Brightening and Hydrating Foundation in the Shade Medium Review and Swatches

I do not stock up on foundations as much as I stock up on lipsticks because I use lipsticks on almost a daily basis. Foundation is something I don't wear on a regular basis because I feel it prevents my skin from breathing.To make matters worse is the humidity here in Singapore which holds me back from applying foundation. So I had not bought any foundation for almost 3 years and was using my MAC whenever I needed one.Since it has been the only one in my stash, it got over and I had to invest in some other foundation. I could have probably gone for the same one but I really wanted something lighter this time and also something that is not completely matte and would give a subtle glow. MAC foundations are great for high coverage and for special occasions but on ordinary days, they tend to be heavy on the skin.

Now buying cosmetics from The US is so easy with EZBUY


ezbuy.com website

I have always had a fascination for cosmetics from the US because of their good quality and affordable nature like MakeupGeek eyeshadows, Colorpop cosmetics etc. Fearing the shipping charges & customs charges, I always quit at the Shopping Cart stage. Similar is the story with buying clothes from Chinese websites which are also much cheaper than ones found in Singapore. I have tried decoding taobao.com so many times and then finally given up hope because everything is in Chinese.To help resolve such issues and to also provide  very affordable shipping charges, we have EZBUY, which is a website that does the purchasing/shipping from USA, Taiwan, and China at a very affordable rate.

What one should learn from Life's experiences?

There is always a first time for everything , however, I was not really prepared for this one! To add to the agony, there were many other things that happened within a span of 24 hours which kind of shook me literally.

1 : Very first negative comment in my blogging journey which pretty much seems like an intentional negativity spreading one. Yes, it came t me as a shocker but now I am kind of okay with it. This person "Jaishri Honest Reviews" comments in a totally ruthless manner telling that I am giving fake reviews on this website called Sareez.com because they paid me to do so and we bloggers would do anything for money. Like seriously ? Grow up girl. I am someone who is generally very polite to people but I got really furious and commented back saying there was nothing fake in the review, and I could review only the product that I received. She had also posted a link to another review where this Youtuber rants about her bad experience with this website. Opinions differ and first of all , we bloggers don't get paid for doing product reviews. She commented back saying that this is the reason why I am still at 20 subscribers and the truth is always hurting etc which literally was very shocking to me. This was a very rude encounter for me and I was kind of disappointed initially but then came out of it thinking there are people always waiting to spread negativity in your life.

Birthday OOTD and how I spent my day

Well, it was a great birthday weekend last week, with lots of new foods and restaurants that I got to try and parallelly enjoying my vacation at Phuket right now. After all the planning and dreaming that I did about my Birthday being spent in a particular way, I must tell you that things did not go as planned but it went really well in a different way. The original plan was to head out for lunch and go to Gardens By the Bay and see the Flower Dome on then the next day , which everybody has been praising and sadly we have not seen it yet. Things went a bit out of control since my husband had some work on my birthday but yes, I joined him for lunch in Fullerton Hotel and had a great simple, yet delicious lunch with him and headed back home. The next day we went to a speciality restaurant called Saha's which serves fusion Indian food and the food was mind blowing.

Now Getting a Facial done is just a Click Away with UrbanClap.com

Urbanclap review
Pedicure 

Gone are the days when you have to make a booking at the salon, go and wait there despite making a booking,and get treated badly if you say you wish to do just a simple cleanup facial. The one sitting next to you who is doing a Skin Lightening Facial will be offered a juice and you just get water that too upon request. I am not generalizing this with all salons, but you have to accept the basic fact that this happens in most places.

Birthdays are always special where you get a lot of wishes and gifts which make you happy the whole day. I really get excited to meet all my family members, seek their blessings and get my gifts from them.

So I have had a major self-pampering session today at home and feeling totally fresh to celebrate my birthday tomorrow. So without further delay, let me show you my Birthday Haul which also includes the Bugis Street Shopping(Read Here).

Summers are fun in a way where you can flaunt bright colors and enjoy the beaches but at the same time, it does really take a toll on your skin. But if you are well protected and take good care of your skin, there is nothing better than the summers.So I am all set to go for a beach vacation and while I was deciding the essentials that I need to pack, my eyes fell on this wonderful Pomegranate shade Massage Gel that was sitting on my vanity table. My mom had sent this to me here in Singapore and I would need it all round the year due to the Tropical Weather here. I am talking about nothing other than the Khadi's Rose and Aloe Massage Gel that looks so pretty and works wonders on your skin especially for summers.
