MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation

There are some things that are said to be an investment. When it comes to makeup I’d say foundations and concealers are definitely a great investment. Splurge and get something that works well on you and matches you skin tone. I had my doubts when I picked up MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation. But rest […]

  • Even though Pantone comes out with a colour of the year and everyone goes gaga over it – I just stick to the shades I love. And the shades are love is drawn from my favourite season fall; There is something beautiful about rustic browns and oranges and red hues.

  • One of my favourite things about travelling is the mini hotel toiletries. Call me weird if you want but I just love the mini packaging and it is also a great way to try out new products – the only con being you won’t know what you are going to get till you reach the hotel. On my last vacation I got the chance to try out Kama Ayurveda’s Mandarin Vetiver range and this range was nothing short of amazing. - The entire range smells amazing - The shampoo cleansed by hair without drying it - The conditioner made my limp hair look voluminous and soft - The body wash made me feel refreshed - The body lotion lightly nourished my skin Overall and amazing range and one I am definitely going to pick up the full size in. #kamaayurveda #shampoo #conditioner #bodylotion #mandarin #mandarinvetiver #kamaayurvedaskincare #haircare #beautynyxblog #chennaibeautyblogger #chennaiblogger #organicskincare #beautymusthave #summermusthaves #travelmusthaves @kamaayurveda #bbloggers
  • Continuing my love for all things lip balm – this is definitely the best and most affordable purchase I have made at Sephora. Smith’s Rosebud Salve is more than a lip balm. It is a multi tasking soothing balm that can be used on any dry areas – lips, nose, cuticles… It is a thick emollient but it doesn’t feel heavy or goopy. This isn’t one of those products that need to be reapplied so it lasts a long time. A little really goes a long way with this. Even though it has a rose tint in the pan it goes colourless when applied. It also works as a great lip pamper before applying liquid lipsticks. The tin packaging isn’t very sanitary but it still looks super cute. #lipbalm #smiths #smithsrosebukd #rosebudsalve #sephora #beautynyxblog #chennaibeautyblogger #chennaiblogger #organicskincare #beautymusthave #summermusthaves #bbloggers
  • Coconut oil is truly a versatile oil. It works well on nourishing both the skin and hair without feeling heavy at the same time. This was on the top must have when I was on vacation in Kashmir and it came in more handy than I realized. First and foremost #sheshanaturals VCO is extracted by natural means without heat or any chemical refining, bleaching or deodorizing. How do you know it is natural? Organic virgin coconut oil has a strong natural smell of coconut. It also solidifies at temperatures below 24 degree Celsius. The oil was liquid when I was in Chennai, but when I was in Kashmir it always stayed solid. But it melted easily once rubbed between my palms. I use Shesha Naturals Extra Virgin Coconut Oil for a quick hair pampering session and also on the dry areas of my skin. This is definitely one of the best coconut oils I have used in a long time and it is here for good. Thank you @makeupholicworld for making this exceptional product. #coconutoil #organic #skincare #organicskincare #sheshanaturals #beautynyxblog #chennaibeautyblogger #chennaiblogger #organicskincare #beautymusthave #summermusthaves #bbloggers
  • Lips balms are a must in everyone’s travel bag, and tinted lip balms are a girl’s best friend. They are subtle; they are easy to carry off; they go well with any look; easy way to pamper lips with a dash of colour – truly the list is endless. @maybelline.india Baby Lips Candy Wow in the shade cinnamon is the perfect nude toned lip balm. It works well to hydrate lips in summer, however if you want to use it in winter I would suggest reapplying frequently or topping this over a colourless lip balm. It has very fine shimmer, which looks more like a pretty sheen on the lips than glitter. This has definitely become my go to lip balm for summers. What is your favourite lip balm to use in summers?

  • Concealers. I have a love-hate relationship with them. I wish I didn’t need them as much as I do, and I love them at the same time because they make my problem areas vanish. For anyone who has #pigmentation issues and natural panda eyes concealers are correctors are the way to mask those problems and make your skin look brighter and more awake. What better duo to add to my collection than the iconic @bobbi_brown_india creamy concealer & correctors. They are smooth, amazingly pigmented and glide on the skin. Since they are cream based products and now that summer is here you need to set it well with powder so that it doesn’t budge or crease easily. Overall this is an iconic product everyone has to try. #pigmentation #makeup #acne #acnescarring #beautynyxblog #chennaibeautyblogger #chennaiblogger #skincare #bobbibrown #bobbibrownindia #concealer #makeup #corrector #creamconcealers #beautymusthave #summermusthaves #bbloggers
  • There are so many things I like about summer. The bright colours - Icecream trucks everywhere you see - Summer dresses. It truly is a wonderful season. But if you are someone who lives in a tropical climate like #chennai where it is not just nice and warm, but humid and icky your skin does tend to go for a toss. And let’s not forget the tan you get because you forgot (was lazy) to wear sunscreen. If there is one product that is a staple for me in summers it is Aloe Vera Gel and I am currently head over heals in love with the one from @blenditrawbeauty The aloe vera gel is • Organic • Natural • Without any preservatives or added colour. It is lightweight to be used on both skin and hair. On my skin – it calms the redness due to the heat, cools down the skin, disinfects to keep breakouts at bay and feels soothing. On my hair – it is a great simple hair mask to use that adds volume and shine to my hair. Overall it is an amazing product that is worth the hype. #pigmentation #makeup #acne #acnescarring #beautynyxblog #chennaibeautyblogger #chennaiblogger #skincare #aloe #aloeveragel #blenditraw #organic #organicskincare #skincare #bbloggers
  • Battered and bruised. That’s the sign of a product loved. I am saying goodbye to these 2 beauties from #valentia. They are one of the last few surviving products that made its way with me from the US to India. Valentia Night Revive Retinol Serum was my first foray into retinol-based products. I started using this with apprehension but everything turned around after just a couple of weeks use. It comes in a potent mixture with Retinol, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. The serum made my skin glow and look brighter. It also helped with my acne scarring issues. Valentia Pure Glow Brightening Moisturizer was the perfect companion to the serum. Though not as effective as the serum, it did nourish my skin and make it look and feel plump. I am really sad that it is time to say goodbye to these 2 lovelies, but that just means more room for new products. P.S. Whenever you are starting to use products with retinol slowly ease it in your routine by using it a max of 2-3 times a week to let your skin get adjusted to it. #Valentia #Retinol #pigmentation #makeup #acne #acnescarring #beautynyxblog #chennaibeautyblogger #chennaiblogger #skincare #bbloggers
  • The his and hers of lipbalm @chapstick & @palmersindia I love using lipbalms and sometimes it becomes a necessity like when you are on a winter vacay. I had travelled to Kashmir for a end of winter vacay at the beginning of March and let me tell you for someone who has lived most of her life in #chennai it was rather cold, also the temperature was around 0 to 5 degrees on most days. One of the top things on my packing list was lip balm and while I like to use tinted ones, my husband will use only colourless ones. @palmersindia Lip Balm in Dark Chocolate & Cherry has the most beautiful subtle red tint and gives a natural bitten lip effect. It is formulated with cocoa butter and perfect for nourishing dry lips. It does however need to be reapplied more often and the oval shape does feel a little weird. The @chapstick original lipbalm is definitely the more nourishing and moisturizing of the two and it is perfect for when you don’t want a lip balm with colour. I’ve used this in the summer heat and in sub zero temperatures and it work well. #lipbalm #palmers #palmersindia #chapstick #makeup #beautynyxblog #chennaibeautyblogger #chennaiblogger #bbloggers
