Vacation Lookbook #scandinaviaseries

Hello you lovely peeps! It's been a while since I was here and I'm sorry for being MIA for over a month. Honestly, I had second thoughts about this blog for several reasons and decided to discontinue blogging for several reasons. My likes and followers were reducing and I lost interest in making content. If you follow me on Instagram, you'd know that I did in fact shut my blog, but because of the lovely friends and family that I have, I was reminded of why I initially started out. I didn't start out for followers, likes, comments, money or collaborations. I started out for my pure love for fashion and sharing it with you guys! So, this summer I decided to re-start my blog and share content about what I am truly passionate about! Sorry for getting senti, let's get talking about this post :-p

This summer was incredibly special. For a person like me who is fond of travelling, having Scandinavia on my bucket list was not a shocker! From saving travel photos from Norway on Instagram to finally getting to pose at the exact same locations, this trip was nothing short of a dream. I was away for 14 days and visited 5 countries, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Estonia and Helsinki. Since, there is too much to share I decided to come up with a travel series called the "#scandinaviaseries" I'll be sharing three blog posts all about my experiences, must-do's and will also make a video which will take a little more time. I am dedicating the first of this series to what I wore during this trip. Hope you enjoy the look book.

Mcaffeine Review #winterfavorites

Hey, hey, hey! Hope you're all doing great! I've had a pretty busy week finishing up college work and still have a lot of pending blog posts to finish, but I'm kind of getting there. If you follow me on Instagram, you'd know that a couple of weeks ago I received my "Mcaffeine" package and before reviewing it, I thought I would use it and for some time before sharing my experience. They have a wide range of shampoos, body lotions and other skincare products, but I opted for their energizing facewash and body butter. Keep reading to know more about the brand, the products and what I liked and of course, what I didn't!

Fresh Pop Caffeine face wash,
smooth Jazz caffeine body butter

~ About Mcaffeine:
Mcaffeine is India's first energizing personal care brand. If you couldn't tell already, the products contain caffeine which over the period of time has emerged to be great for your skin and hair. They have varied products ranging from shampoos, body milk, shower gel, face wash, face and hair cream and body butter. Along with this, they also sell energy packs which is basically a package of a few of their products. Learn more about their brand on their website and do give their blog a fan, it's very well written!

~About the products and their claim's:

So I'm going to start off with the Body Butter which I was really looking forward to since it is winter time so such a product is a must have.The  product is a skin energizer and contains Lanolin Wax and Vitamin E. Apart from that it contains Aqua, EDTA, Caffeine, Anhydrous, cetyl alchohol, Cetomacrogol 1000, Stearic acid, among others.
It's claims: It is paraben-free formula contains a signature blend of natural emollients, extracts, and vitamins to soothe and moisturize skin. Vitamin E protects skin from free radical damage, while lanolin sinks in for lasting hydration. And of course Caffeine is there to tighten your skin, making you look younger. Here's more, Pro Vitamin B5 and Vitamin C revitalize your skin, giving back its radiance.

 Moving on to it's face wash, it is a face energizer which contains Aloe Vera and Vitamin E. It also contains Aqua, EDTA, Caffeine, Anhydrous, Acrylate, Glycerin, among others. It's claims: It is formulated with caffeine, vitamins and a citrus fragrance. Brightens skin and removes dirt. Helps the skin to heal and prevents premature ageing.

~ What I like: 

Before even jumping into my experience with the products, I'd like to talk about their packaging. The packaging of both the products is so travel friendly, easy to just dump into your carry-on bag or even gift! The face wash bottle came with a pump which has a lock preventing it from any leakage. The 150 ml bottle can fit aboslutely anywhere! Again, the body butter is encased in a compact circular container, does not leak and seals well. 

Moving on, I loved the consistency of the body butter. I am not a fan of thick, semi-solid body butters, but this one was absolutely smooth, has a creamy consistency and glides like butter on your skin! 

Swatch for the Body Butter

The face wash is perfect for one of those days when your facial skin has just gone through terrible city pollution and requires some immediate cleansing. As the website says, it is your evening buddy! It gives your face a fresh feel, gives instant radiance and is very easy to foam up as well. 

The face wash also has a beautiful faint citrus fragrance that I'm totally digging because it really refreshes you after a tiring day at work or college. 

Lastly, the products were parabben free, contained vitamins, natural products like Aloe Vera and is cruelty free! 

The facewash costs Rs. 449 and the body butter costs Rs. 400 and both last for 24 months. They are fairly priced. 

What I didn't like:

The face wash felt very refreshing and gave my skin instant brightness, but having said that, it left my skin a little flaky and probably over dried it at times. 

The body butter was super-smooth and massages the skin really well, but it isn't moisturizing enough. During winters, my skin tends to get really dry and the body butter does hydrate, but only for an hour or sometimes less than that after which it turns back to normal.

The body butter does not have any distinct fragrance which would have otherwise been an add-on to the product. 

All in all the products are really great with a few ignorable flaws. Do checkout their website for more products.

Fuschia by Vcare #winterfavorites

What is up guys? Hope you've had a great week. My week was pretty much busy with my college test, pending homework and of course, planning my new posts. A few weeks ago, I received a package full of colorful goodies that was kindly sent to me by "Fuschia" by Vkare and decided to use them for a good amount of time so I could share a genuine review with you guys. They sent me the "Blush Face Mask", the "Citrus Orange bath salt" and lastly, the "Garden lavender day cream" Here's my mini review of all of them, hope you like it!

#1 "Blush face mask" (Rose and Calamine)
I'm a big fan of face masks and I'm sold if it is natural! Fuschia's products are handmade and natural. Kuddos for writing all the lovely ingredients of the product. Rose, Aloe Vera and calamine is great for your skin. Not going to lie, the face mask did give a little burning and tingling effect, but that was temporary. After washing off the mask, my skin felt lighter, cleaner and definitely refreshed! The mask smells great with a very strong rose scent, is easy to apply and drys in about 7-10 minutes too. The packaging is my favorite, great for travelling and does not leak.  All in all I would say, it is fairly priced. A Rs.450 box would last for probably a month or two. Pro's: It removes dirt, oiliness and helps give an instant radiance. 100% vegan, does not contain chemicals and is cruelty free.Also, it is free of  chemicals. Con's: Leaves a bit of redness and tingling effect and is a little expensive for it's quantity.

"Blush Face Mask" (rose and calamine)

Don't take a screenshot plis

 #2 Citrus orange bath salt
Bath salts again is my absolute favorite. A warm bath salt bath before bed tops of list of pleasures! This one had a citrus scent to it which is very calming. It has sea salt and olive oil which works great for your skin, leaving a lasting soothing effect. Again the packaging, 100% vegan and cruelty free nature along with obviously being hand-made is a win-win. This box costs Rs.250 which would last probably for three weeks or a month depending on your usage. It calms sore body muscle and gives a relaxing effect to your tired body. A well rounded product for me, must try!

#3 Garden Lavender Day Cream

So, I've used this product for two weeks now. The very first thing that fascinated me was it's bright color that really popped up in my package! It has some fantastic ingredients like jojoba oil, lavender oil, olive oil and Aloe Vera. The packaging is super cute and travel-friendly. It is a little thick in consistency and blends well into the skin. Pro's: Moisturizes and hydrates your skin, has an amazing lavender scent which I suppose is natural too and is very very light. Con's: Not the best day cream for oily skin as it has olive oil. Other than that it is a tad bit cloggy. 

 Thank you guys for reading the review and a special thank you to Fuschia for sending these products! Do leave requests of products which you want me to review :-)

Nivea Body lotion & Soft light moisturiser #winterfavorites

Hello to all my lovely readers! Hope you're doing well and had a kick-ass weekend! It's the beginning of a new manic week which means getting back to work, school and college. For those of you who didn't get a chance to read my last post, I started a brand new series called " #winterfavorites" which is a compilation of reviews of my personal favourite winter essentials which I thought would be very useful to share with you guys since, haircare and skincare is of utmost importance during theses months. For second post of the series I thought of talking you through my absolute must-have winter friendly products from Nivea. I have been using Nivea products since I was an adolescent. For this series especially, I decided to review their Body Lotion and Soft Light moisturiser which is personally the best from their range. Read ahead for the detailed review.

Nivea Body Lotion & Soft Light moisturiser

- Body Lotion

 It's claims and it's Quality: Free of ethyl alcohol and colorants, it is skin compatibility dermatologically approved. Has advanced UVA/UVA filters. It helps to protect from the effects of UV rays while being exposed to the sun. It prevents premature skin-ageing and your own protection system is reinforced.

My experience: Unlike other body lotions, the Nivea body lotion feels very light on the skin. All the other body lotions I have used are very rich and feel uncomfortably heavy on my skin. Secondly, it's UV protect. It plays a dual role by protecting my skin which is ideal for the Indian winters. Talking about it's packaging, it is encased in a plastic white bottle which does not leak which makes it very travel-friendly. I have the 200 ml pack which can be carried in your carry on bag pack or suitcase. Coming to it's texture and fragrance, it smells fairly good and is very creamy, almost milky. It blends very well into your skin too.

- Soft Light moisturiser

It's claims and it's quality: Contains Vitamin E. Gives fresh and soft skin and has a fast absorbing formula. (Ingredients are not mentioned)

My experience: Pretty much similar in quality to their body lotion. Very light and prevents drying makes my skin very silky post application. The skin absorbs the cream very well too. Yes, it is travel friendly, but in all honestly it is a little clumsy to use it for it does not have a pump as I have to dip my fingers into it. Wished it had a UV protect because then one needs to apply a sunscreen too.

Worth the money? Final Verdict: Definitely! The body lotion costs Rs.200 and the moisturiser costs Rs.80. They last for three and one month respectively. Also, they last for 30 months from manufacture so have a pretty long shelf life. They are both effective too and worth a try. The best part about these products is the fact that it isn't restricted to a particular gender or age group because my entire family uses it which makes it an efficient product. Cheap and comes from a reputed brand, so a reliable product too!

BBlunt Full on Volume Review #WINTERFAVORITES

Hello lovelies! Hope you're all doing great. Winter has finally begun which calls for some extra hair and skin care. Since drying of hair and skin during winters is of great concern among many others, I thought of discussing a few of mine Winter friendly products are I highly recommend through a series called "#WINTERFAVORITES' Along with that I will be sharing mini reviews and my experience with it. I'm going to kickstart it with one of my personal favorite brand for hair care products, Bblunt! Bblunt is made for the Indian hair type making it exclusive for the kind of weather and pollution your hair goes through. Lately, my hair has been lacking volume which is why I picked this shampoo, giving you just the kind of nourishment you need this winter! Read on for my review:

It's claims: Gives incredible volume and lift and retains essential moisture

My experience: Being an avid user of Bblunt products I trust their range. No, it does not make your hair look like that of a shampoo models' but what is does truly well is nourishes your hair. It hasn't increased the volume of my hair drastically, but my fine hair has become a tad bit thicker making it look relatively voluminous. The shampoo is encased in a large bottle which is rather quirky in shape making is a little inefficient to store nor travel friendly.  Apart from that, loves it's color which attracts your eye towards the product. One pump is enough to drive away oiliness and dirt. Smells good and leaves a pleasant scent. It has color protect too making it a safe option for all. It forms lather very easily, making your hair hydrated, giving you a soft lift.

Worth the money? To be honest, Bblunt range of products is not very expensive, but this shampoo is probably the most priced one I have bought as of now. It costs Rs.550 which personally is fairly priced. Since you need merely a pump, this shampoo will last you for over 3-4 months making it worth it. 

Final Verdict: Highly recommend it!As I said earlier, it is ideal for Indian hair type, especially if you have frizzy, wavy hair. A genuinely good product at a good price, worth your go!

Best of September '16 #celebspiration

Hello all of you, how's Tuesday treating you? We all love a dose of celeb style for inspiration and styling purposes and here's why I bring to you the best of fashion of this month. With NYFW and a lot of festivities around this month, I bring to you my favorite celebrity spotting just off Instagram! Let me know what was your favorite look. Let's get into it! 

> Priyanka Chopra at #NYFW 

PC pretty much slayed at the New York Fashion show with her high fashion choices. At both the days she flaunted two very different style from stripes to blingy florals. She kept it very simple with the accesories, makeup and hair and made her outfits shine. 

> Shraddha Kapoor

Leather is back and how! Love the khaki green leather skirt which compliments the lace top with ease. This super sexy outfit looks great with the dewy makeup and messy hair. The lace heels finish off this look on a high note.

> Katrina Kaif

A flowy Ritu Kumar white gown with a tad bit of tan is all you need to look like a bohemian queen. Simple hair and makeup with a pop of red on the lips with antique jewellery makes this a must have outfit choice for those breezy summer evenings.

> Kiara Advani

Off-shoulders and florals in a jumpsuit make this a super trendy look for September. It is easy-breezy, can be dressed up and down and those strappy contrasting heels is giving me serious inspiration to colour block!

> Kangana Ranaut

Travel style never looked so good. Backless sporty tees have been all over stores and Kangana's oh-so-sexy look is making me go gaga. A colourful bralet which different patters is a must have for summer and of course, you can't d without some "kaala chashma" this season.

> Kendall Jenner at #NYFW

The one person that completely stood out for me was Kendall Jenner. My,my her style has really inspired me to include more floral pieces in my closet. Almost all of her appearances this week have included floral detailing. Kendall makes ever outfit look effortless from her bra let and bomber jacket street style to all glammed up off shoulder glam look.

>Siddharth Malhotra

Just how could I talk about best of fashion and not include Siddharth's filmfare shoot. I've loved all his looks from the shoot, but this one is personally my favorite. A denim suit with matching trousers with hems and them dior shoes.  The undone tie and black shirt just complete the look have got me crushing so hard!

>Athiya Shetty

Wit festivities around the corner, this one has been my ultimate favorite. Athiya Shetty wore one of my favorite designers, Anita Dongre for Ganpati and it couldn't be styled any better. The earrings, simple makeup and flats are a perfect example of dressing simple for festivals.
