A colorful and random day- NOTD
A colorful random day! - NOTDI was completely vain on Friday, I had soooooooooo much to do but I still felt like letting things pass by …
This sometimes happens to me,,, I mean like twice every week, I feel like sitting back and watching the world rush…
But then I wanted something to remind me of the beautiful colors life has… and of course, I saw my friend Sonal’s video the other day where she magically did a beautiful nail art, I am not a nail art person I do not hold patience to try things and my nail paint never dries flawlessly, but randomness can get me anywhere anytime.
I tried to what Sonal did in her video, but failed miserably, but at the end I was happy with what I saw, I mean I felt happy…… I saw some random colorful patterns on my nails, bright and colorful and my random day was made.. heheheehehehe!!!! So I thought I should share it with you guys, you can laugh your heart out …and even post me pictures of your nail art...so that I can put it up here, on my blog and also learn something from it…
Here are the pictures!!
Sonal I am sorry I couldn't do it as perfect as you did..but I will keep trying...
AND I told you people that I just can't let my nail paint dry harmoniously .. :( see the little finger... I messed it.. :(
I know I have funny nails and funny fingers.... :P Ignore them...and let me know how you liked the random nail art?
Please visit SOnal's channel.... HERE, she has some amazing stuff in store!!

Lakme Fantasy Collection Shadow Artist Shimmer Stick- Review!
I have been using the Shadow Artist Shimmer Sticks for around 2 weeks now, like every day. So finally sat back to jot down my views on the gorgeous chubby things.
Product claim:
Let your eyes share magical moments with light beams. Creamy color pencils laced with super fine glitter, reflect light and bring a mesmerizing sparkle to your eyes. Edge, smudge, line, shadow, color or blend. Keep the mystery alive.
Price and quantity:
350 INR for 1.14 g
Availability:
Easily available at your nearest Lakme counters and beauty centers.
Shades available in:
Astral Blue
Starry night
Glimmer green
Moon beam
About the product:
As soon as I saw them, I instantly correlated them with the NYX jumbo eye pencils, may be because of their similar appearance and shape. I also think Lakme is the first Indian brand to have such chubby beauties. I received the Glimmer green and Astral blue shades from the 4 listed above. I was elated because I have been wanting to pick Siahi since ages and also wanted a nice green eye pencil for the summers.
On first thoughts, the Shadow Artist Shimmer Sticks are creamy and very well pigmented eye pencils, however I have mixed reviews on them.
The Shadow Artist Shimmer Stick in Astral Blue is a very close dupe for Siahi, it’s a ,ate deep inky blue shade which doesn’t really have a lot of glitter and shimmer, It glides on like a dream on the eyes, whereas the Glimmer green is a nice bright summer green with a little sheen and some healthy shimmer.
How do the Shadow Artist Shimmer Sticks look?
Thick, chubby and cute. Indian version of the NYX jumbo pencils. Pretty packaging.
Here are the swatches for both:
How do I wear the Shadow Artist Shimmer Sticks:
I love to put on a thick line of the Shadow Artist Shimmer Sticks on the lids, and have another thin contrasting liner on them, like a brown or a black one with blue and a blue or pink liner with the green.
I wear the Astral blue on my waterline; I love how it looks there.
I have a thick line of the sticks on my lid and smudge them and blend it with a corresponding or contrasting eyeshadows.
I wear them as eyeshadow bases.
Reasons to like the Shadow Artist Shimmer Sticks:
The Shadow Artist Shimmer Sticks are priced decently.
They are darn creamy.
The pigmentation is nice!!
Awesome colors.
Super easy to use.
An almost exact dupe for Siahi
Easier to blend and line on, doesn’t really tug or tow.
Easily available
Although they are creamy and soft the point doesn’t break or something like that even when I sharpened them, some eye liners also tend to break whilst application.
They are waterproof; I had to literally use soap to get them off. Otherwise you need a nice make up remover or olive oil to get them off.
Multipurpose, Lives up to the claim of edge, smudge, line, shadow, color or blend.
They didn’t melt or smudge on my waterline.
They did not irritate my waterline. I have a super sensitive waterline; even the Drama gel or plain kohl irritates my waterline at times.
You will love to carry them around, since they are cute plus they are the best handy emergency eyeshadows too.
Reasons to dislike the Shadow Artist Shimmer Sticks:
My mum has oily skin, and these pencils melted on her lids, they smudged very badly on her eyes.
They do crease; you must like MUST have a good base or primer if you want to avoid this.
They smell like natraj pencils.
Sharpening can be an issue. Rather finding the right sharpener for them can be an issue.
Repurchase/recommendation:
For now I am happy with these two shades, I recommend it to ladies who looking for Siahi dupes or want to have NYX jumbo eye pencils. I agree they crease but if used with a nice base or primer this can be totally avoided.
Rating:
4/5
I will be posting some EOTD's soon!!
So did you like them enough to try? If yes which shades are you picking?

Cocoa & Milk Fresh Face Masque by Iraya- Review!
I mentioned a few days back that I won some Iraya goodies from Girlyhour.com, HERE.
I received a face wash, soap and a fresh face masque from Iraya. Yeyyy!!!
Summers and face masques go hand in hand for me, I have a combination skin and I need to control my skin oils and nothing other than face packs can do it. Moreover when the face packs are made from cocoa and milk who can resist? :P
Today I am reviewing the cocoa & milk fresh face masque, the sound of cocoa & milk makes me excited.
I never came across Iraya unless I got to know it from Girly. Iraya eas set up somewhere in the 1980’s and ever since then it has developed and formulated numerous beauty and health products. The best all the products are 100% natural and herbal.

About the Cocoa & Milk Fresh Face Masque by Iraya:
The Cocoa & Milk fresh face masque reached me on the 1st of April I guess and it had to be used by the 6th, I used it for 4 times and wished I could last with me for a lifetime. Which women on earth would hate a chocolate smelling soothing face masque?
At first glance it seemed like chocolate mousse to me, thick and brown.
It is one of the best face masques I have come across till date, which is so mild, so soothing and smells so yummmlicious.
Reasons to love the Cocoa & Milk Fresh Face Masque by Iraya:
I find it affordable, as in 50 gms for 90 INR not a bad deal right?
The quantity at the price is great, I mean I used it for 4 times and my Mom used it once.
The fragrance of the face masque is to die for; you actually feel that you are applying chocolate. :P
The ingredients, cocoa bean is great for the skin, it smoothen the skin making it hydrated. Milk has multiple beauty benefits, it’s a great moisturizer, cleanser, provides radiance, has bleaching agents, and also evens out the complexion whereas hazelnut has skin tightening properties, and also acts as a great toner. What more do you want for a chocolicious smelling face pack?
It lived up to its claims. Made my skin smooth and supple and this feeling stayed for a couple of a days.
My skin had a nice healthy glow after using this face masque.
Didn’t break me out, usually face masques tend to break me out making my skin super dry and stretchy.
Didn’t dry out my skin.
Reasons to dislike the Cocoa & Milk Fresh Face Masque by Iraya:
My mom used it too, she has super oily skin, and it dried her skin out, weird right? I have combination skin and it didn’t dry me out.
You should have a lot of time to have the Cocoa & Milk Fresh Face Masque by Iraya on, since it takes a lot of time to dry. Total indulgence you see.
The shelf life is too short, I mean I know that fresh face masques should be so, but I wanted it to long more and more.
Availability is the biggest con of the Cocoa & Milk Fresh Face Masque by Iraya. They do not have the online buying option too.
Repurchase/recommendation:
I am definitely visiting Iraya on my next Pune or Mumbai trip. I am just too curious to try out their other products. I recommend it to all the women, it’s a super yummilicious face masque.

Saffron Handcrafted Soap by Earthy Goods- Review!!
Hello Ladies,
Handmade soaps have always lured me, like ALWAYS. And using the Saffron Handcrafted Soap only increased my inclination to handmade soaps.
I have been using the Saffron handcrafted soap for a week now, and I guess it’s the right time to review it now.
A little about the Essential Oil handmade soaps by Earthy Goods (website):
Exquisite soaps handcrafted by women blending pure coconut oil, herbs and flower extracts. Pure, high quality coconut oil, palm oil, herbs and essential oils are mixed together and poured into a mould. The bars are then cut and cured patiently and naturally in pure fresh air in the high Himalyan hills and lush farms of Pondicherry. Each bar is made with care and NO chemicals. Our soaps are rich in TFM and glycerin so they do not leave skin dry. AND, there are 12 naturally exciting variants to pick from!
Product claim:
The royal properties of saffron are all there in this wonder bar of soap. Known to enhance natural skin fairness, pure saffron oil has been used to create this unique soap.
Price and quantity:
75 INR for 100 gms (I was sent a sample of weight 75 gms)
Ingredients:
Coconut oil
palm oil
lye
saffron essential oil
saffron strands
Variants to pick from:
21 herbs soap: Blend of 21 Ayurvedic herbs with pure essential oils and coconut oil
Forest honey soap: The ultimate moisturising bar made with pure honey, beeswax and coconut oil.
Cinnamon spice soap: It’s a riot of fragrances with Cinnamon, Clove, Mandarin and Tulsi Essential Oils in a pure coconut oil base.
Lemongrass scrub soap: Pure Himalayan apricot scrub, lemongrass essential oil and fine coconut oil
Lavender scrub soap: Pure Himalayan apricot scrub, lavender essential oil and fine coconut oil
Jasmine Lavender soap: Our all time favorite with the sweet seductive notes of Indian Jasmine and the soft notes of mountain lavender and pretty purple swirls!
Sandal turmeric soap: Rich golden turmeric powder with exotic sandal oil and pure coconut oil
Wild mint soap: Crushed wild mountain mint leaves, rosemary essential oil, pure coconut oil
Vanilla Patchouli soap: A happy joyous blend of sweet vanilla and extract of patchouli flowers
Tulsi Basil soap: Pure tulsi powder and a blend of lavender, patchouli and lemon essential oils.
Packaging:
Comes neatly packed in a plastic cover with a nice colorful label, ignore the packaging looks what’s under it.
About the product:
Women in the villages of Pondicherry have handcrafted this soap by blending natural oils, herbs and flower extracts. Each soap is cured naturally for weeks in fresh farm air.
A Beautifully scented soap, with 100% natural ingredients which make your normal showers a fragrant experience.
However I did not try washing my face with it, since I never use any kind of soap on the face, it’s just a personal preference.
Reasons to like the Saffron Handcrafted Soap by Earthy Goods:
•Affordable. 100 gms for 75 INR is not at all a bad deal.
•The packaging is good, nothing over done neither under done, I like my soaps simply packed.
•The fragrance is quiet soothing; I mean it has saffron so has to smell Yumm!
•The soap is very mild.
•The ingredients are surely aint worth a miss. Has the goodness of coconut oil and saffron essential oil. Coconut oil is considered as a best natural moisturizer while saffron essential oil proffers radiance and glow to the skin. Lye acts as a cleanser while palm oil has anti aging, cleansing and moisturizing properties.
•It doesn’t dry out my skin after baths usually soaps tend to dry out the skin; I can rush out without a body moisturizer.
•Leaves the skin squeaky clean.
•Lathers beautifully. I like my bath soaps to lather well. I feel my baths are incomplete if my shower gels and soaps do not lather well.
•The soap longs for a while, I have bathed like for 6 consecutive days with the same soap and it hasn’t reduced a bit, it looks like a brand new bar to me, but if you leave it wet it may wash away like any other soap.
•Suits all skin types.
Reasons to dislike the Saffron Handcrafted Soap by Earthy Goods:
•The fragrance of the soap doesn’t stay for long; it completely vanishes within 1-2 hours.
•I just wish they were easily available in all cities where we could personally see the products and pick them.
Repurchase/recommendation:
Well I am eying their lipbalms and a few other soaps so, I will pick another variant of their soaps.
I recommend to ladies who have an inclination to handmade soaps. You will love it.
Overall it’s a feel good product!!

4/5 (-1 for the non availability of the product)

Lotus Herbals unveils PHTYO-Rx BOTANICAL PRESCRIPTIONS – The future of Skin Care- Product Info!
Concept
At lotus Herbals, we firmly believe in providing naturally safe, professional care. That is exactly why we persistently employ the best of science to harness efficacy that only Nature can provide. This has resulted in an exceptional, revolutionary range of professional beauty products :
PHTYO-Rx – The future of Skin Care.
PHTYO-Rx is our new range of home care products that are primarily to be consumed as an extension to the Salon routine at home. It is a prescription based products and is the most effective, pure and safest organic home skin care formulation.
The entire PHTYO-Rx™ range employs POTENT ORGANIC FORMULATIONS that administer higher concentration of active botanicals in each product to provide safe and natural care effectively. Each of the products is FREE of Chemical PRESERVATIVES, ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCE and COLOUR to provide you with the best of Nature.
Why PRESERVATIVE FREE products
As per recent scientific studies, a strong link has been observed amongst preservatives, especially PARABENS and health problems like breast cancer.
Add to this an ongoing scientific debate on continued use of preservatives leading to carcinogenicity and estrogenic effects.
Concern about endocrine disruptors and more has further reinforced the objective of lotus Herbals to come up with preservative free beauty solutions that give unbelievably marvelous results without making your health pay for it.
Why ARTIFICIAL FRAGRANCE & COLOUR FREE Products

Just stepping out till the neighborhood café? Only going to be out in the sun till you enter your car? Enjoying drinking your morning tea by the window? Ever think about how even two minutes in the sun can damage your skin? Spots, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and tanning can all start with just two minutes in the sun.
UV Radiation from the sun is the chief cause of Sunburn, and other severe skin concerns like melanoma, melasma and photoaging. UVB rays cause sun burn, which can be tackled by use of sunscreen (SPF content). UVA rays on the other hand are more damaging biologically. It can cause not just tanning, but wrinkling & leathering (photo aging), pigmentation and premature skin aging. To prevent this, you need a product with a good PA content.

Mint Lip Balm by Earthstore- Review
Yesterday I reviewed Sue’s Tangarine lipbalm today I’m back with yet another lipbalm review.
I received the Mint Lip Balm by the Earthstore a while ago, I have been using it for about 5-6 days now, and I am in absolute love with it.
But before getting started with my review, let’s get to know the “Earthy goods” as a brand.
“Feel good, do good”, that’s the tag of the Earthstore. The name, “Earthy goods” itself says it all.
The Earthstore was set up somewhere in the year 2007 to facilitate and help the artisans in the rural areas to have their handmade and ethical products marketed throughout the nation. From handmade soaps, lipbalms, facewashes, essential oils, jams , jellies, chutneys , herbal teas, spices, creams, body washes, body scrubs, loofah, spa oils, to candles, stationery, incense sticks, to lifestyle products like glass lanterns, votives, jewelry boxes the Earthstore has it all.
The products stand aloof from their contemporary brands, due the assortment of products available under the brand and also the natural materials used in their manufacturing, that too at affordable prices.
There’s something for everyone under the Earthstore, Earthy goods also has delights for your children. Earthy Goods has chocolate dipped amla and nuts for your children.
So now that you know how these earthy goodies land in our urban homes, let’s get back to my review.
The Nature body care range by the Earthstore is a collection of products made by the rural women all over the country, and the best part with minimal processing, natural ingredients and absolutely no chemicals.
Product claim:
A pound of mint, a world of freshness, real mint extracts make this a special balm for minty fresh lips. Moisture rich, paraffin free lip balms made with pure beeswax and the goodness of Honey. Keep the lips soft, nourished and naturally moisturized all day. Choose from three delicious flavors - completely addictive!
Price and quantity:
75 INR for 15 gms
Availability:
You can pick them online, simply click HERE.
Ingredients:
Apricot oil, beeswax and peppermint essential oil.
Flavors available:
Cedar, Vanilla and Mint.
Packaging:
The lipbalm comes cutely packed in a screw up lid handy tub, I don’t know but unlike other women I like my lip balms in tubs. The tub comes with a cover under the lid which kind of keeps the lipbalm clean and contamination free, I tend to forget screwing its lid at times and this cover keeps my balm clean. On a whole attractive packaging, apt for lipbalms.
About the product:
I am more of a lip balm & chapstick person when it comes to regular daily lip care. I prefer having my lipbalm on before any lip color or lip gloss. My make up routine is simply incomplete without lip balms & chapsticks.
Decently packed and decently priced, with a good quantity of product and effective results. When I first applied it on, I was a bit skeptical if I would really like it enough to use it more, it had this strong mint smell, but now I am loving it. It gave me a tingling cool feeling when I applied it for the first time, which was kind of something new to me.
The Mint Lip Balm by Earthstore has a shelf life of 2 years, which is nice.
As per the label this lipbalm is manufactured by SOS organics Pvt Ltd, Uttarakhand.
Reasons to like the Mint Lip Balm by Earthstore:
• Affordable
• The packaging, very handy and can be simply tossed into the hand bag for carrying along.
• The ingredients are to die for.
Beeswax: Great for moisturization.
Apricot oil: soothes, revitalizes and moisturizes
Peppermint essential oil: coolant and refreshing agent.
• It’s clear, as mentioned in my previous review I like clear lipbalms and chapsticks rather than tinted ones.
• I love the cover under the lid; I am mentioning this soo many times since I usually just toss it in my hand bag without screwing the lid properly which disturbs the lipbalm at times.
• It keeps up to its claim, it keeps my lips hydrated and moisturized.
• 15 gms for 75 INR is a steal. It will go a long way for me.
• A very little quantity of the product is needed for a single time use, just one swap of the lipbalm on the lips is enough.
• The staying power is good; it stays for a good 2-3 hours if you are without food and drinks. It doesn’t fade leaving your lips dry.
• Works great for chapped lips.
• When you apply the lipbalm it has this refreshing strong peppermint scent which fades away after sometime of application and YES it is a pro for me since I like my balms to be mute or be fruity and flowery smelling.
Reasons to dislike the Mint Lip Balm by Earthstore:
• I usually like my lipbalms to be fruity and flowery as mentioned above, so the peppermint scent doesn’t work for me. I would prefer it to be mute without any scent. I may like the vanilla and cedar ones.
• The availability, I wish it comes down to every nook and corner of the commercial malls, since they have lovely products.
• The lipbalm melts; I mean it tends to run down your lips after application. I usually blot it before applying the lip color or lipstick, which I don’t usually do with other lipbalms.
• I wish there were more than 3 flavors available.
Repurchase/recommendations:
I will be picking the other flavors soon, can’t miss out on affordable and natural lipbalms. Lipbalm lovers get your hands on it. I recommend it to women who are looking for an affordable lipbalm and want to “feel good”.
Rating:
4/5 ( -1 for the peppermint scent and limited flavors)
