3 Must have products from Ras Luxury Oils




Hello Chicsters!

Hope you have been doing well. Today I am here to talk about my new found love for an all natural skincare brand. Beauty products are my weakness but you have to listen to your skin too. As I have mentioned this in my prior posts, I have a very sensitive skin and hence I tend to lean towards natural skincare brands . Recently, my skin was acting up and so to calm it down I had to follow a healthy diet and an all natural skincare routine. After this ordeal, I decided to simplify my skincare routine but this time with natural oils. Not that I am ditching other brands for good, it’s just that probably my skin needs a break from it, to resort to something more natural. And then RAS Luxury Oils happened! That’s the new found love am talking about.

3 Step Skincare routine using Innisfree Green Tea range


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.

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…

Top 5 reasons why Mother Sparsh wipes are better than Ordinary wipes


Hello Chicsters!

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.

TBC 24 Ct. Gold Honey & Almond Winter Care Nourishing Cream


Hello Chicsters!




It's Pallavi here! Even though winter has just arrived, my dry skin has began to take a toll on me. I am always in search of rich creams that will take care of my dryness woes. Rich winter creams are extremely sticky and end up making you look like an oil field. So, I mostly opt for winter creams for night time and for day time I just stick to light but moisturizing face creams.

Recently I was done with my Pond’s night cream and was looking for some new night cream to try. So I ended up going Ayurvedic and tried this TBC 24 Ct. Gold Honey & Almond Winter Care Nourishing Cream. Mostly, I just trust high end and drugstore brands but never went ahead with the ayurvedic ones so I was quite excited to try it.

Maybelline Baby Lips Candy Wow - Peach



Hello Chicsters!

December may give you good hair and skin days but you also need to pamper your skin and hair the most during this time. Today I am here to share with you the review of a lip care essential that also happens to be the best launch of the season, Maybelline Baby Lips Candy Wow range. To be honest I was a bit surprised when the Candy Wow range was launched in India. As none of the lip balms as of yet had been launched in a twist up crayon packaging. Also the Candy colors were very refereshing from all the other deep colored lip products that were being released lately.

HiyA Lovelies,



In the past few months my skin has been going through a rough patch cause of the constant changes in weather. In this time of need I can and always have relied on face masks to help soothe my irritated skin.

Kama Ayurveda Pure Rose Water

HiyA Lovelies, 



Today I will be reviewing one of my most favourite skincare products this month. I have been using this product for only a couple of weeks now and it has become one of my most favourite within no time. Most of the people reading this maybe thinking that this is just rose water how can it be different to all the other rose waters in the market. Or practically thinking why should we shell out more money when we have cheaper versions available in the market. That is exactly what I had thought before trying it and so did a couple of my friends but once we did try it the vast difference was visible in the first use itself. So through this review let me point out some of the differences I had come across while using this product.

Fuschia Crystal Rose Bath Salts

HiyA Lovelies, 


If you have seen my previous posts you might be aware that spa products and aromatherapy products have been ranked highly by me in the past and I am always on the hunt to try new products related to it. There is nothing better than a self pampering Sunday afternoon that I enjoy. I have tried a couple of bath salts and bath oils in the past but this is the first bath salt that I would actually be reviewing. As this is a handmade natural bath salt I was even more excited to share with you what I found out about this product.

Spoil Your Body - Sunless Tan Correcting Body Scrub


HiyA Lovelies, 




A Happy weekend as per me just means lots of self pampering and detoxing. Any self pampering or detoxing session is incomplete without a good scrub. Among all the types of scrubs I have tried in the past my most fave ones have always been sugar based scrubs. So when I came across this online store called Spoil Your Body which specialize in all natural sugar scrubs I was excited like a kid in a candy store. Looking at their selection of scrubs I got even more confused as to which one I wanted the most. Finally I settled for the Sunless Tan Correcting Body scrub after debating with myself. Turns out this was so good it became my new showstopper. Let's know a little in detail as to why am I so awestruck by this product.

Kama Ayurveda - Tulsi Soap

HiyA Lovelies, 



Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Kama Ayurveda has launched yet another value for money soap in the market. None of us are new to the brand Kama Ayurveda. We all know them and their spectacular range of products that they have to offer. I have tried a couple of their products earlier and have loved and recommended most of them. Though I am not a huge fan of soaps but trust me when I say this I have a new found love for Ayurvedic soaps all thanks to Kama Ayurveda.
I had completely stopped using soaps for the last 5-6 years but this new kid on the block really did tempt me to reconsider. Now since I have been talking highly about this soap for so long must have got you really tempted so lets know this product a little more in detail.
