Hello Chicsters!


It is almost September already and I have enjoyed every bit of the monsoon season. But the transition between the scorching heat and the humidity had a toll on my skin, making it much more necessary for me to show some TLC towards it. One of the main ingredient that I included in my beauty and health regime which helped me transition successfully is Green tea. I love this magic ingredient and I can literally have it anytime. It does wonders to my immune system and that surely shows on my skin. You can read my previous blog to know the Top 5 beauty benefits of green tea. But of course, there is no way I can have an overdose of it. Looking at how Green Tea products have helped me transition in the past is one of the reasons why I have turned to it again. However, this time I am doing it the Korean way as according to me K-beauty is the epicenter of beauty technology. So today, I am listing down the 3 magic products from Innisfree, South Korea’s first all-natural brand. It’s from their Green Tea range.Read on…

Being a fashion & beauty blogger, I need to ensure I look the best in all my pictures and that the makeup is absolutely perfect. Sometimes, when I am out on a photo shoot and I have to try multiple outfits, I have to change my makeup look too and that is when these wet wipes come handy. But since I have a sensitive skin, I stick to baby wipes as they are gentle on the skin with low alcohol content. I was using one of the well-known brands until I came across Mother Sparsh. A friend was using it for her baby and what caught my attention was their claim of being 98% water wipes.
