I really have NO idea how I haven’t posted a review of this sunscreen here till now. I’ve been using this sunscreen since July 2014 (it’s 2018 now!) and make sure to store 2-3 of these at a time so I can never fall short. You will not believe the texture that this sunscreen has….
Kiehls – Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash
This cleanser is my current go-to for washing off the layers of oil, dust & grime my skin gets caked in daily in my beautiful home city of New Delhi. I love how super concentrated the gel is; just 1 tiny pearl drop is enough to create a rich luxurious lather. I really appreciate the…
Kérastase Aura Botanica Bain Shampoo
When Kérastase announced they were releasing a sulphate and silicon free shampoo with 96% natural ingredients, I was suuuuper excited. I hounded high end and luxury salons in my city diligiously trying to find exactly when the product would be launched in India. My requests were met with puzzled looks – NO ONE was aware that Kérastase…
The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% 30ml
This is the first TO product I tried. And it didn’t wow me as it did million others world over. Looking at the ingredient list, there aren’t that many: Aqua (Water), Niacinamide, Pentylene Glycol, Zinc PCA, Tamarindus Indica Seed Gum, Carrageenan, Acacia Senegal Gum, Xanthan Gum, Cocoyl Proline, Ethoxydiglycol, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin. The packaging with…

GREEN PEOPLE SCENT FREE SUN LOTION SPF30 (200ml)
I’ve had this huge (200 ml) tube of mineral sunscreen for awhile now. I bought it after reading really good reviews from users with sensitive skin. The sunscreen tube says it’s a lotion but it comes out like a cream – maybe really thick lotion? It’s tinted so there are no white streaks. The smell…
The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution 30ml
Another review of a TO product! These are SO affordable that I can’t resist from trying their huge variety of products.:) So packaging once again by TO is perfect – frosted super chic glass, white dropper, no leaks. This one is a peeling solution. You just take 2-3 drops (or more if you need) on…
Not that ordinary: Advanced Retinoid 2%
My skin is no stranger to Retinol, Retin-A and Retinoid products; I’ve been using these for more than 10 yrs now. However, the only Vitamin A derivative I’ve stuck so far with is Retino-A cream 0.025% by J&J, which is very easily available OTC in Delhi, India. I’m plagued with super sensitive, dryness aaand eczema…
Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream
The Egyptian Magic all purpose skin cream is undoubtedly one of the most hyped skin creams in the beauty market. Sadly, more often than not, whenever I excitedly try any such intensively publicised products, the experience is a negative one. And so, when I decided to try the egyptian magic cream, I went with my gut…
The Natural Deodorant Co. – Gentle Deo Cream
The natural deodorant co.’s gentle deodorant cream is my first foray into the world of natural deodorants. My earliest memory of deodorants includes those of Dove’s go fresh anti antiperspirant deodorant sprays during New Delhi’s sweltering summers. Super affordable, effective and available in a variety of scents, Dove is a great brand for first timers….
