L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Matte Lipstick

I am the kind of girl who loves glossy finish lip colour, but I do have my mood swings when I flaunt matte colours and for that reason I was super pumped to try out @lorealParis Colour Riche Matte Lipstick for free. Sadly, I received shade Matte-itude 806 which is so not for my brown skin. Anyways, irrespective of the shade, I went ahead to try it on to see how it feels and how long it stays put on my dry lips. To be honest, I very much like the moisturizing feel it bestowed on my lips! My super dry lips loved it! I did not find my lips feeling dry which I normally expect from matte lipsticks. No flaking at all is what amazed me! It glides smoothly on the lips and stays put for hours. You might have to retouch after eating or drinking but otherwise it performs well. The only thing that I quite didn’t like is the strong scent it hold that hits your sense as soon as you open …

Angelbubbles Spoon Rest Holder

Hello readers, Most of you are aware of the fact that I absolutely love reviewing and testing products. But very few of you must be aware that I am a passionate food blogger as well. I also have a food blog where I share my tried tested and self-created recipes with the world. Duties of a food blogger requires spending ample time in the kitchen which I do. Most of the time would find me in the kitchen trying new dishes and experimenting with new ingredients. But my duties don’t end here. I am also a mother so have to look after the needs of my daughter, as well as prepare the setup to capture stunning photos of the dishes to showcase on my food blog, along with working my magic in the kitchen. With so many things to take care of simultaneously, often my mind wanders off and I end of placing cooking spoons/ladles on the kitchen counter. With turmeric being the most common ingredient in Indian cooking placing the cooking spoon on the …

PleasingCare Facial Cleansing Replacement Brush Heads

I reviewed PleasingCare Facial Brush system last month, as you all must be remembering. I was prompted to buy it as my skin was losing the glow making me look so much older, and I decided to pamper my aging skin by exfoliating and cleansing it effectively. As the system came with 2 brush heads only (classic and LUXE Cashmere), and as I was looking for something that would help me to care for my body as a whole, not just face, I went ahead and bought PleasingCare Facial Cleansing Replacement Brush Heads. These replacement heads come in a set of 4 and are versatile in function. Each brush head is made to cater to needs of different skin types, from Normal, Sensitive, Acne, Large Pores and Oily Skin. I, although, have sensitive dry skin, but it tends to get oily around the T-Zone. Moreover, with increasing age, I have started to notice large pores. With all these concern areas, I am really glad to find that these brush heads will effectively address the needs …

Liectroux Robot Vacuum Cleaner Multifunction

With my super hectic work schedule, my blogging duties that I mostly try to catch up during the night time, and raising a super energetic toddler, I am left with no energy to sweep and mop my house…This may seem like a simple chore to do, but for a person like me who is always on a go trying to catch up on all the fronts, with no energy left at the end, this simple task also seems like a struggle. During the weekends, when I am off from work, I have so many other household chores to take care of that have to put cleaning in the last of my to-do list, and the really is it suffering again. To help me with it, I had been thinking of investing in a robotic vacuum cleaner that coHeld not only sweep my floor, but also would mop it up…Sounds so relaxing! But, as you all must be aware that robotic vacuums cost a fortune. So, to invest my hard earned money intelligently, I started doing …

PleasingCare Sonic Rechargeable Skin Care Facial Cleansing Brush

Cleansing and exfoliating skin effectively is an integral part my daily skin ritual which I have been following religiously, ever since I stepped into my 30’s. After all, the real struggle of keeping the sign of aging at bay, and making the skin beautiful and radiant, starts soon after you hit the mark on 25-30. If you fall into this group, you would understand better what I am talking about! So, to pamper my skin, I have been putting my hard earned money into buy the best cleansers, exfoliators, and scrubs,  but sadly, even with all the money and efforts I have been putting, my skin tends to break out every now and then.  I have had a hard time figuring where was I lacking or what was I doing wrong! Last week, at my friends party, I met her aunt who also happens to be a beautician. While we were getting to know each other, she noticed the redness all over my face and asked me about it. When I told her about my skin condition, …

XTAVA Allure 2200W Professional Ionic Ceramic Hair Dryer

A good quality hair dryer can prove to be women’s best companion for life, especially for women like me, who loves her beauty sleep so much that she hangs on to her pillow as much as possible in the morning. This lazy habit, results in me waking up just 20-25 minutes, before going to work. And, in these 20-25 minutes it’s almost like a battle field to be fought by me, making breakfast, getting ready, getting my kiddo all geared up for day care, leaving me with no time to air dry my hair, before I can style them. The only thing that helps me with the struggle is my hair dryer. I have been using hair dryer as a part of my regular hair styling routine for the past few years, and have tried a number of different brands to find the one that would work best for me. And, over the years have realized, that the right hair dryer can make styling hair simple, fun and effortless, without damaging your hair in the …

DBPOWER Magnetic Block Set

Very unique and innovative blocks, based on the concept of traditional building blocks, but even more interesting and fun to play with. It will helps your kids to master the skills that lay stronger foundation for a long time learning in all subjects, especially science and maths. My daughter, who is just 4, is head-over-heels in love with this magnetic block set. Before it’s arrival, she used to spend hours playing games or watching videos on iPad, but now she is so engaged with these blocks that she has hardly time to open her iPad, which is great! The blocks are so attractive with blight colors. Kids like them even more as, in comparison to the traditional blocks, these offer a nice change and who doesn’t like change?? huunnnn! The first question that popped into my head when these arrive was “Are they safe for kids?”. Well, I was pleased to read they they are! Made of food grade plastic they are totally safe for kids. Even if they end up putting it in mouth no …

XTAVA Collapsible Silicone Hair Diffuser for Blow Dryer

I am the kind of person who cherishes the last few minutes of sleep, when you are conscious, but just feel lazy enough to get up. I try to hold on to this as much as possible and the result is me waking up just 20 to 25 minutes before going to work. In these 20-25 minutes, I have to get ready, put together breakfast and get my kiddo ready for day care. OH Gosh…Imagine me struggling with catching up on all the fronts in the morning! This leaves me with no time to let my hairs dry naturally so that I can style them the way I want, and this is when blow drying helps. I have thin, limpy and curly hairs. Blow drying makes my hairs even drier, difficult to tame, and frizzy! Not only that, but the heat of the blowdryer causes lot of damage, making hairs fragile.  I really wanted something that could give my limpy hairs bit of a volume to enhance the beauty, without causing so much of damage. …

XTAVA Auto Styler – Professional Auto Rotating Curling Iron with 1.1″ Barrel

What would you answer if I asked you, “What is that one thing that even though might seem simple, yet appears nearly impossible for you to achieve? Well, for me I would say there are quite a few of them! And out of them, one that may seem easy piesy to others, but I find almost impossible is achieving those perfect curls using a curing rod, which has always made me envy my friends who can do it in a breeze. I have always struggled with getting the polished curls that I simply adore. The problem seems to be the lack of necessary skills that ones require when using a curling rod. Rolling the hairs in the rod, aligning them perfectly well seems to be just impossible. No matter, how hard I try I fail! Every time, either few strands get left out in the process or simply slide up while the rod is working its magic. And the result is, untidy and unfinished curls. Poor me! To end up my struggle and make the …
