Fair & Lovely's New Powder Cream: A One-Stop Solution for Smooth, Matte and Bright Skin

Who doesn't want fresh, smooth and radiant skin, but achieving that in this humid fest seems like a distant dream. Whether you are a college student, a working woman or a stay-at-home mom, fresh, radiant skin is something every woman wants- because when you look good, you feel good, and when you feel good you do your best.

Well, fret not as I have just the right product for you. It is Fair and Lovely's new Powder Cream which turns from cream to powder in a matter of minutes, and ensures that you have smooth, matte and bright skin for 14 long hours!

I recently attended the launch of Fair & Lovely's new Powder Cream and was glad to know that FAL had come up with a one-stop solution for all the greasiness and oiliness that is associated with the application of face creams. Because who doesn't want fresh, smooth skin all day long!

The launch event was super-fun with a ton of exciting games and surprises, and it was lovely to be pampered by the Fair & Lovely Team. We spent the entire day chatting about beauty and skincare, playing games and interacting with like-minded beauty and fashion bloggers.

The whole group

During the course of the event, I also got the opportunity to test out Fair & Lovely's Powder Cream, which I must say is great for everyday use- just apply a pea size quantity of this magic formula and you'll  be good to go!

The product claims that it provides:

·         Instant Bright Look

·         Powder Smooth Finish

·         All Day Oil Control

·         Matte, Non-Oily Feel

I think a cream like this is excellent for everyday use since not only does it turn to powder after application, it also ensures that your face looks bright and radiant all day long. And in case you want to wear make-up, this Powder Cream will provide excellent base for your foundation and ensure that your foundation doesn't melt away.

The icing on the cake, however, is that this #FALPowderCream is priced at INR 115/- for 40 gm, making it pocket friendly. So now you do not have to burn a hole in your pocket in order to look fresh and radiant all day long. #SetLookAllDay

How cute is this cupcake?

Another exciting news is that I will be hosting a giveaway very soon so make sure you have joined me on Instagram and Facebook.

Now coming on to the outfit that I wore to this product launch event, I knew I wanted to be comfortable in my dressing since the event spanned the whole day. So I chose a simple denim dress- I love the fact that the dress is so comfy, yet stylish at the same time. I also wore a statement necklace (which is not visible in this photo), and some pearl studs. My footwear of choice was leather flats, and I carried my Louis Vuitton Galliera which pulled the whole look together.

Product Empties/ Reviews: Beauty, Skincare, Haircare

Hi guys!

I have been featured on the Creative Mondays section of Claire’s lovely blog. You can have a look at the outfit that was specifically featured here.

Now coming on to today’s post, I’ll start by stating that although I am not big on accumulating stuff and not using them, sometimes I have a jar of cream or a bottle of shampoo sitting pretty on the shelves for longer than I’d ideally want. In this video, I am sharing with you all the beauty, skincare and haircare stuff that I have managed to empty, hence the title ‘Product Empties’. I have also tried to sort of give a one-line review of these products, and whether, depending on their quality, I will or will not repurchase them.

This is my first ‘Product Empties’ video. If you like the video, then please give it a thumbs-up. For more Beauty and Fashion videos, just subscribe to my YouTube Channel (Clothes and Creativity).

Lakme 9 to 5 Hydrating Super Sunscreen SPF 50: Review

I don’t really have a specific skincare routine, in fact when it comes to skincare, I just wash my face and make sure its moisturized. But one thing that I do not miss doing is wearing a sunscreen. I think it’s one of the most important things you can do for your skin- wear a good sunscreen daily, it goes a long way in protecting your skin against sun damage.

Now although, I’ve been quite loyal to Neutrogena Ulta Sheer Dry Sun Block SPF 50, I’m currently using the Lakme 9 to 5 Hydrating Super Sunscreen SPF 50. If you would like to know what I think of this product, just watch the video below. J

What I Wore to My Cousin's Indian Wedding- Part 2-Hot Pink Lehenga

BTW, my Instagram has been acting funny! Everytime I log in, it asks for my phone number. On punching my phone number it asks for a security code that Insta has (in their head) sent to my phone. I haven’t received any security code via text and it’s been more than 3 days already. Tried contacting their help centre but all they have is a set of pre-drafted questions, no e-mail ids! SO annoying! If anyone knows how to resolve the situation, please leave a comment below. Thanks!

Nykaa Haul: Making the most of GOSF

Hello lovelies!

Today I am going to share with you my GOSF Nykaa Haul. To tell you honestly, I was not aware of the GOSF till I read about it on a blog. I’m not much of an online shopper you see. But once I read about all the great brands and products that would be on sale, I wasted no time in jotting down a list of products that I would want to buy.
