There are many YouTube videos on different ways of cleaning beauty blenders. Some can ruin your blender and even reduce its life. So, here is a step by step guide  on how you can clean your beauty blender properly. This is how I was taught to clean it during my makeup classes in Delhi. STEP 1: USE A GENTLE to MILD CLEANSER Take a gentle soap such as Johnson's baby or Dove in your palms, and wet it to create lather.  Don'ts ❌Use oil to clean beauty blenders ❌Soak beauty blender for too long in water ❌Use dishwasher liquid, harsh shampoos, or detergent to clean your beauty blender. Since the beauty blenders are porous in nature, the oil may go into the pores of the sponge and, despite proper cleaning, may clog the pores. (Makes sense, as the same thing happens with our skin too). The dishwasher liquid or shampoo may affect the sponge quality badly and may make the sponge stiff.  For flawless makeup, it is very important to have a squeeshy soft and high quality beauty blende...

This is probably one of the most requested articles by my friends. Whenever I post product reviews on my YouTube channel—but mostly on my Instagram Stories—readers often ask me from where I buy those products as many of those products are not available in India.  Image credit: pixabay Well, thanks to Nykaa, numerous revered brands from the US, South Korea, the UK etc., are now easily available in our Indian market, but still, there are many people who hesitate to order from Nykaa due to some past bad experiences. I love shopping from Nykaa, but when it comes to buying products of foreign brands, I trust my Insta-resellers way more than I trust Nykaa. The reasons are simple: I get the latest offers currently going on in the respective country. The resellers sometimes send freebies. The products are recently manufactured, so expiry date is way ahead in the future. The range of products is wider. Sometimes, I order the products directly from the websites such as colorpop, cultbeauty,...

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 ...
