Are you one of those who love glow? Has the fantasy of Korean glass skin got to you as well?  Although, I'm not going to talk about Korean glass skin, I'm letting you know about a product I use for that healthy glow we all crave. A little bit about the brand : Started by an Indian Entrepreneur cum Make-up enthusiast, Milagro Beauty expanded from just one product (the oil we are reviewing today) to many other products including: Green Tea & Watermelon Toner, Milagro Body lotion and Milagro Hydrogel Sunblock. The first product Milagro Beauty oil has been well received by the community and embraced by many make-up artists. (I've seen Leena Bhushan using this on her brides to prep the skin) About the Product: Milagro Beauty Oil: Infused with 24k gold leaves, the oil is a revolution in the skin care industry. Absolutely organic and chemical free, it has pure essential oils and multivitamins as its key ingredients. The oil is a non greasy formula that hydrates ...

Hey guys, Today I am going to take you through the difference between hair conditioners and masks, how to use them and then a quick review of my new favorite hair mask: Kerastase Densifique hair mask Difference between hair conditioner and hair masque : 1. Hair conditioner is light-weight and is like a daily moisturiser that can be used everyday as well, whereas hair mask is like a facial massage cream that is thicker, more hydrating and is meant to be used for deep nourishment once in a while. 2. While hair conditioners can be used everyday, hair masks are ideally used once in a week or once in 15 days. 3. Generally, we keep hair conditioner on our hair for about 1-2 minutes before rinsing it off, but hair masks are kept for longer duration. You can keep hair masks for 5-10 minutes, or even 15-20 minutes on your hair. 4. Hair conditioners are only used after hair wash, whereas hair masks can be used both as before hair wash and after hair wash treatment. I like to use it ...

A once in a lifetime investment that will make your hair and skin happy while giving you an aesthetic pleasure. Dame Essentials was the first brand I read about, which sells silk pillowcases in India. Since the brand's name has done rounds in several famed magazines like Vogue and Elle, I wanted to buy one product from them but the price always held me back. Recently, I went on a silk shopping binge and ordered one product from all three brands which are currently offering silk products in India. Dame Essentials is the most expensive among all, probably due to its brand value. Read on the complete review: Product claims:  Crafted with love and obsessive attention to detail, we bring to you the solution for beautiful skin and hair. Say hello to the luxury of youthful sleeping experience with anti-ageing benefits, without investing any extra time. When you rest your head after a tired day on our pillowcase, you will instantly feel relaxed and taken care of. Our pillowcase...

An affair to remember, the silk pillowcase is a luxury that you don't want to miss for beautiful skin and hair. Product claims: India's first and only finest 100 % Mulberry (the brand is wrong here, there are 2 more brands and they also have authenticity certificates, so this claim is superficial indeed). Hypoallergenic, Anti-ageing benefits, reduces bed head, healthy skin and hair. Benefits : Skin : Silk has anti-ageing properties as it absorbs less moisture than other fabrics and is naturally anti-allergic. The tightly woven smooth fibers of silk help retain moisture in your skin thus reducing the fine lines & dryness and promoting youthful & hydrated skin. It helps in preventing or minimizing allergies, and doesn't allow dust and other allergens to settle on their surface. Hair: Unlike cotton fabric that leaves hair dry, rough, and tangled due to friction, silk has smooth texture that prevents tangling. MRP of head cap or Bonnet: 2299 INR (got i...

I can't resist hype. Since everyone around me was going gaga over silk pillowcases , I had to try them myself. Importing from US would have been expensive, and in India, it was confusing. While searching online, I found three brands which sell 100% pure Mulberry Silk products in India. Those brands are: ubersilk, Beausilk and Dame Essentials. I bought one product from each of these websites and starting with ubersilk, I am going to give review of all these 3 brands. Product claim:  Wake up with straighter, shinier and, healthier hair along with a fresher wrinkle free skin which will remain moisturized all over night even when you are asleep. Other fabrics suck the natural moisture from the skin and natural oil from the hair. Mulberry silk has less chemicals than other fabrics, reduces the incidence of bedhead, less split ends, breakage and pulling. Price: 2417.82 INR (After 200 Rs discount) Size : Standard Packaging:  Metal case My experience: I called the team t...

I was nostalgic about my Lotus Herbals Apricot scrub but could not stop myself trying out new products. I thought St. Ives would be better, but I was mistaken. There was nothing about the scrub except its quantity that impressed me. The granul...
