Hey guys,  Today I am going to share my review on yet another Indian Brand " Blend It Raw Apothecary" founded by Aarushi . The brand started with  organic essential oils and cold-pressed unrefined carrier oils, but later expanded its range to include unrefined clays, pure floral waters (hydrosols), waxes, & fruit, and plant butters which are all ethically sourced from small farmers, NGOs, certified organic manufacturers and suppliers.  (You will be making a social contribution while buying your skin care products!) I love this brand for some DIY recipes which I can create for my skin care and also, for its amazing mists/toners/hydrosols. Let's talk about Hydrosols :  Hydrosols are distilled water used for aroma-therapeutic purposes. These hydrosols act like toners but are more effective than our usual toners. I mean a Rose Hydrosol is more effective than a rose toner.:) I love the overall concept of these Hydrosols. MRP: 400 INR each Sh...

Hey guys, In my brand awareness series, starting today, I am going to introduce some homegrown brands which are worth investing your money in and have given me results. These are NOT SPONSORED products or posts. This series is truly in line with the motto I started my blog with - to create awareness. Also, I will give my recommendations in each post about which product worked for me and which not. Let's begin: GLAMAROMA I came across this brand on Instagram and decided to try a few products. I ordered their perfumes (MUST BUY), Vitamin C Cleanser, Rose Gold Toner/Mist, Coffee Infused Under Eye Serum, Sugar Kiss Lip Serum, Pumpkin Skin Renewal Serum, Bridal Glow Serum, and Glowing Goddess Serum. So, here is my honest review: About the brand: The brand started on Instagram and successfully launched its products on its website and Amazon this year. 100 % Natural, Chemical Free, Paraben Free, Handmade, Cruelty Free, Vegan Products.

Qty: 100 ml MRP:1100 INR (Available on Nykaa) Shelf life: 3 years Color and consistency: light grey, thick Packaging: Sturdy plastic Directions: After cleansing, apply toner and then apply the mask, avoiding eye and lip areas.

I bought the Innisfree one because the...

Hola beauties! After falling in love with The Ordinary's AHA BHA peeling Solution (Check the review HERE ), I was eager to try more products from the brand. So, I bought two serums: Niacinamide and buffet. Spoiler : The Ordinary products never disappoint and I have absolutely fallen in love with it. Product Description/Claims:  Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is indicated to reduce the appearance of skin blemishes and congestion. Minimizes pores, and regulates sebum. (Oil free, gluten free, vegan, silicone free, alcohol free) Note : While using topical Vitamin C, it should be applied at alternate times with this formula (ideally Vitamin C in the PM and this formula in the AM).

Hey guys, I am so happy today to introduce this product that I recently betted on-I mean bought with a little skepticism. The product was often talked about on Instagram and I am, like always, a curious bird. So, although there were plenty of bad reviews on Ulta (some of them claiming that it gave them rashes), I took my chances and bought this toy. Spoiler : I love flawless. Read on to know why.               Price : 2500 INR (I bought it from an insta reseller. If you buy it directly from US, it will be cheaper for you) Purpose : used for removing facial hair, especially upper lips. The company also has similar tools for removing hair from eyebrows and legs. But my main concern was upper lips. I wanted to be able to do my upper lips conveniently, whenever and wherever I wanted. So, I was compelled to buy this little tool. Description: The flawless comes with detailed instructions on how to insert cell, in which direction...

The representative at Health and Glow store recommended this product and I bought it. I love dewy products and it is one of them. It makes my skin feel very smooth after applying it. It has fine gold particles that add very subtle radiance to skin. Although I have combination skin that turns a little oily in summer, this serum never feels sticky nor does it make me sweat more. Sometimes I use it as a base to my BB cream bec...
