Winter is here!!

Helloooooo Girls! My favorite season is here now, WINTER! Oh my god, cold weather, big soft blankets, curling yourself, hot coffee dates, hot chocolates, tasty soups, no waxing, long sweaters and hoodies and garam pakodas *_* But with all this comes dry skin and with that comes great responsibilities. So, I will be telling you people about some Season essentials needed for a dry-free, moisturized and healthy skin!

So, I thought rather than shooting with all the products I would go for just giving detailed information about how an average Indian girl should go about this winter. Without any further due let's begin..

#1
The face and body wash

These are the products I have been using since a while for my dry winter skin. So the question rises, Why not to use a soap this season? Soap makes your skin dry and does not give the proper amount of moisture, where as foaming face washes such as Attitude from Amway, Medimix with Aloe Vera vitamins, Clean and clear and body washes like Nivea or Forest essentials etc. give smoothness to your skin and make it less dry. You get level one of body Moisturization.

#2
Moisturizing Cream

After the wash the first thing we need to do is the main moisturizing of the skin with both our face and body lotions. Do not apply a body lotion on your face because it can go hard on your skin, as our facial skin layer is comparatively more delicate than our body. Choose the correct winter lotion for your self that will keep your skin hydrated the whole day and won't let your skin tear-off. And if this happens then it's surely the high time for you to go change your cream. I use Colorbar Illuminating Lotion for the face and Aveeno Active Naturals for my body.

#3
Primer

As you all aware of the fact that primers are our hero! Primers are really necessary for this season as it is needed to keep our makeup intact the whole day. It will keep our skin hydrated too. I have been using Colorbar Perfect match Primer for around a year or so and find it very effective. A big thumbs up for Colorbar!

#4
BB Cream

My go to make up look for college starts with applying BB cream on my face which works both like a foundation and a cream. I prefer not applying a lot of foundation and concealer, It's like not my daily thing. I prefer using the Pond's BB cream with SPF 30 PA ++

#5

Lip Cream

Lips are the most delicate part of our face. And for this soft part a special application of creams is needed. Always apply lip balms whenever you get time or when ever you feel that your lips have become too dry. Remember before applying any kind of lipcolour on the lips apply your lip balm be it a matte lipstick or a glossy one. Apply ghee to your lips every night before sleeping for natural pink lip trick!

#6
Moisturizing Milk

Cleansing Milk is a super essential product this winter. You can use it for removing make up or apply it on face and massage for 10 minutes before taking a bath. It gives you pre-moisturized skin before bath. I use Himalaya Herbals Cleansing Milk, I think it's the best!!

#7

Hair Care

Many of you guys ask me about my hair care routine and all, The routine is very very simple! Oil your hair twice a week with any oil which you prefer. I prefer INDULEKHA Oil. Massage your skalp properly and then wash it with shampoo your choice. For shampoos I prefer Loreal and Forest essentials. Do not forget to use conditioner after your shampoo as it will keep your hair soft and smooth. After your hair wash you should probably use a hair serum to keep your hair frizz free and make it look healthy the whole day!

Hope you guys found this post helpful <3 Will catch up with you guys soon, see you until next time!

Get wedding ready!

Hello Lovely Ladies! Are you planning to attend a wedding lately? And you don't want to buy a new dress just for a single wedding? Then here is a very quick trendy trick this wedding season. For that the wedding essentials should be kept in mind. This one of the wedding looks I opted for and therefore I am sharing it with you guys. So, let's begin with a elegant wedding or a reception look!

For the girls who don't like those heavy weight Anarkalis or Sarees this is the most comfortable look you can ever go for. No flaws, no problems. I have paired up a simple royal blue kurta with a traditional bordered dupatta and plain beige bottoms. You guys can take any of your plain coloured kurta, get a suitable duppatta and flaunt it! According to me,This is our usual traditional go to look. If your kurta is a heavy worked one then you guys should probably go for a plain contrast coloured duppatta any which ways you guys feel comfy in!

Now when you say 'Shadi' then the first question in every female's mind is, What will I wear? :p With that comes the Jewellery, makeup, hairdo etc. We girls kind off don't want to be over accessorized on any kind of look may it be traditional or a western outfit! So, on this traditional wear I have paired up a single statement jewellery that is my heavy look earring. With that I have kept my eye makeup and lips bold with a black bindi which is always a yay!

Details: 

Kurta: Soch

Duppatta: Material from Thailand

Beige bottoms: Max

Hope you guys enjoyed reading through this post! Rock this wedding season with the simplest yet elegant look :) See you until next time!

Diwali Look Book!

The Dhanteras Look!

Hello Girls!! So how are your Diwali preparations going on so far or rather I should ask have you decided your outfits? :p I guess many of you guys haven't done that yet so let me help you with this. Diwali is one of the most awaited festival of the year. It is celebrated in five consecutive days which consists of Dhanteras which is two days before Diwali, Bhai dooj which is two days after Diwali and the main day of Diwali that is the Lakshmi Pujan. So, I will be showing you guys some looks that I found comfortable yet beautiful for the festival of lights. Let's get started!

Click Credits: Sakshi Raut

So, This the look I thought was relevant for the occasion of Dhanteras which is celebrated two days before the main day. I have gone for a Maharashtrian look with a plain marsala colour  a-lined kurta and a worked duppatta. You always don't have to have a full designed traditional suit but can buy different pieces and pair them up together. As you can see I have used old school marathi ornaments which consists of: Nosering which is called the 'Nath' (Every marathi girl can relate to the beauty of this nosering), then the three layered necklace which is called as the 'Mohan Maal' (gives the royal look) , then the smaller necklace is called the 'Kolhapuri Saaz' which is a necklace that is worn right on your neck like a choker ( but I have extended it to match the level of the three layered necklace) and the last one is a simple earring which I have worn to complete my look and yes ofcourse ditching my bangles.

I have gone for a heavy makeup with a winged liner and added a little blue to the corners. Made a half moon bindi which is the traditional Marathi teeka. And worn the matte me pink lipstick to balance the whole look. Kept my hair simple because who will want look over dressed!

Details:

Kurta: Shoppers Stop (Biba)

Duppatta: Mom's Wardrobe :p

Ornaments: My family treasure xD

Earrings: Globus

So this how the complete Dhanteras outfit looks like <3 Hope you enjoyed reading this post. See you until next time! Much love, xoxo.

The Jacket Story!

The Jacket Story!

Hello Girls! I know I am super late with this post but here it is finally. A basic leather jacket is a must have in every girls wardrobe. Don't we all love the sporty chic look we get when we style a jacket perfectly and feel super sexy? Here is a simple look I tried with my yellow leather jacket and pink chrome shoes.

Picture Credits: Darwin Antony

Make-up by: Reena Nikharge

I styled my jacket with a plain white top tucked in my trusted pair of black denims and pink chrome shoes that compliments my whole look. Adding it up with my black and golden watch with a cool pair of shades makes it more organised and sporty. 

I have kept my hair tied up in our old school pony tail with a creamy make-up and red lips. This is the perfect look for a concert, clubbing, short flight or a formal meet-up. The leather jacket is the style changer in any look, pair it up correctly and you are ready to rock.

Details: 

Jacket: Zara

Top: OMG

Shoes: Fleashoppers

Watch: D'signer

Shades: Colaba

Hope you guys find this post helpful! See you guys next time! :D

Lots of love to all <3

Blue has been my favorite since I don't know when but I am so dedicated towards this colour. The colour itself speaks so much! It's a Calm, soothing, royal and dependable colour or we can say our always go to colour. 

I have styled this high-low gown with a set of Silver earrings and necklace and my silver heels. I received this set of earrings and necklace from an Instagram page @trust_art_jewels . These guys have some really amazing jewelery out there, Girls you must check it out. :D

Reena went with a subtle kind of makeup for this look with deep red lips and thick winged eyes, this makeup compliments my outfit so much and makes it even more beautiful! I have kept my hair straight at the back and a bit curvy in the front with a center partition, However I feel center partition does not suit me, What do you guys think? yay or nay? :p
