Indian skincare market is flooded with products that are formulated, developed and tested in western countries. These countries don’t face the harsh abuse from pollution, heat and the UV that our skins face everyday. For Indian Skin, melanin production is hyperactive because of pollution, dust and UV. Even the luxury skincare brands in India do not specifically cater to issues we deal with
Our Indian Skin tend to produce more quantity of melanin due to the harsh environment that we live in – dust, pollution and UV damage everything takes a toll on our skin. Dr Sheth’s products contain higher quantities of actives which are specially formulated for Indian skin. The ingredients list for these products are really awesome. Especially, the Vitamin C, kojic acid,Vitamin A, hyaluronic acid, Niacinamide etc. I honestly feel this brand’s like ‘The Ordinary’ brand version from India!

Dr. Sheth’s products contain higher quantities of actives, which are scientifically proven and created for Indian skin.

YOU MIGHT NOT BE A MOVIE STAR BUT YOU CAN STILL sleep LIKE ONE !Traditional pillowcases don’t slip, causing damage to hair and delicate facial skin. #Slipsilk pure silk peach sleep mask. Slip Silk allows your skin to glide, whereas cotton scratches and tugs on delicate facial skin, resulting in premature stretching and sleep-crease. Cotton also dries out your skin and hair. It even twists your hair at the root as you sleep, which causes bed head in the short term and can damage your hair in the long term. Synthetic satin is a poor petroleum based substitute for real silk. This one is a dream!

The main difference between regular coconut oil and virgin coconut oil lies in their processes of extraction. While the former is extracted by cold compression or cold milling of Copra (another name for dried Coconut kernels) with a moisture content of around six percent, the latter is extracted from the coconut milk obtained from fresh coconuts. Thereafter, using processes such as fermentation, churning (centrifugal separation), refrigeration, and the action of enzymes, the oil is separated from the water or moisture. However, in the case of virgin coconut oil, the raw materials and the process of extraction should not allow any involvement of heat.
Shesha Naturals Cold Processed Extra VCO is extracted from fresh coconut milk without any chemical processes, it is the purest form of coconut oil, water white in color. What I really love about this is – It gets absorbed to skin real quick. Normal oils will be greasy on skin and take hours to get absorbed. Shesha Naturals Cold Processed Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is very very light weight and it instantly gets absorbed into skin.
Centrifuge Technology– Made using Centrifuge technology making it India’s Best VCO
‘Absolutely No Heat’ involved in the process making it India’s best VCO.
VCO is free from tans fatty acid,high in medium chain fats(MCFA) or medium chain triglycerides(MCTs), known as Lauric acid which is identical to special group of fats found in human breast milk.
Best as edible oil (can be consumed raw), baby massage oil (Best selling coconut massage oil in India), Also can be used as a body moisturiser/ makeup remover/ hair oil

Colourpop Cosmetics is my most favorite brand at the moment. I hardly miss any of their collection. Fem Rosa – which is one of their collection that’s in collaboration with Karrueche. This collection is totally inspired by her love for roses and her love of everything being a woman. She even has a botanical book at home that she used to research different roses, which inspired every shade of this collection – That’s very interesting to know right! It was an instant love the moment I saw this collection online.
Have you checked my review on the beautiful ‘She’ Pressed Powder Eyeshadow Palette from this collection. If not, Go here
“Fem Rosa captures the femininity and beauty of a rose, one of nature’s most treasured flowers,” explains Karrueche Tran. “Women are beautiful with the strength to protect themselves like thorns do on a rose’s stem. From the name of the collection to the shades chosen to the final packaging, we wanted to carry that theme throughout.”
In this post, I am featuring the face palette from Fem Rosa Collection – ‘Her’ Pressed Powder Face Palette
How many times have you stared at yourself in the mirror while putting the makeup on. Are you somebody who got rid of blushes because you felt – ‘Blushers in general’ was emphasizing your pores making them appear larger.
Blackheads and Clogged Pores are the worst enemies of everyone. In simple words – blackhead is a sebum build-up, dead skin cells, bacteria, and dirt. This is a plug that can grow in size and expand the pore walls, making a pore appear larger.
A blackhead appears on skin like a dark spot. The spot can be tiny, barely visible (like the size of a pin) or quite large and visible. Blackheads are most common on the nose. You can also see them on the cheeks, chin, forehead etc. In today’s post – I am sharing my most loved and most favorite skincare products that help get rid of these worst enemies for that smooth and firm clear skin.
WHO understands this better than Dr. Murad himself – every skin is different, so needs different care to address and improve skin concerns. Murad Pore Reform skin care products are designed to help clear and prevent clogged pores, whiteheads and blackheads. These specially formulated products are targeted to treat clogged pores and blackheads by extracting existing clogs and thereby prevent future blackheads as well.
Are you among those bunch of beauty enthusiasts who immediately add a product without even checking or reading online reviews. To be more precise – more of a makeup collector and strongly believe in your own instincts. Well, I am Team Swift and I knew this absolutely gorgeous looking super affordable palette has to be mine the moment I saw its preview on @trendmood1.

Instead of collectively putting across everything in one post – I thought the products need a special mention. Hence, just the palette feature on this post
Being a Kerala girl and coming from a family with medicine & naturopathy connections, I grew up seeing various medicinal herbs and essential oils used in the making of a bunch of remedies that could be readily used for a variety of skin and hair problems. During my childhood, I always remember my mom bathing …
While essential oils are really good for skin. It’s not meant to be used directly on skin. I love aroma therapy oils and I have been mixing and matching various oils with the carrier oil – almond or coconut since so many years now. Essential oils penetrate through the outer layers of the skin, and heal …
