Review on Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Soft Matte Primer  Hit or Miss? Heylo Beauties  Wanted to review this product for the longest time. And after finally getting my hands on this, I decided to post a Review on Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Primer. Not so recently anymore, Rihanna Came out with Fenty Beauty and the makeup and fashion industry was blown away by the news of the product launch and so was extremely difficult to get the products, especially in India. Her First Product launch was the Foundation and the Primer both of which are extremely raved about and many makeup gurus swear by these products. But do these products work equally good on Indian skin and Texture? You will get your Answer soon. Not long back while my visit overseas I finally bought Fenty Beauty Pro Filt'r Primer in Soft matte which is the only shade in the primer range. And after giving this primer a fair amount of usage time I decided that its time to post a Review.  Availabi...

Himalaya Herbals cleansing milk(tried and tested)

Image
Himalaya cleansing milk worth a try?? Heylo beauties Back again with a product which is hyped about a lot these days which is Himalaya herbals Refreshing cleansing milk. I personally use cleansing lotions on daily basis and I do double cleanse with a face wash to get the excess grime and makeup off my face. A cleansing milk is more effective to remove makeup as compared to a face wash as the milk will break down the makeup more easily leaving your face clean without making it very dry. Before we jump into the effectiveness, usage and other good stuff here is a short disclaimer. My skin is different and so the products I use may or may not act the same way for your skin type. But you can gather enough information about the product before deciding if it will work on your skin or not. To know more about this amazing product just keep reading: Availability : Himalaya Herbals is a brand which has reached even the international market making a mark. And so the products a...

Erytop gel for acne( worth the hype)??

Image
Erytop Gel Tried and Tested To start with let's understand acne. Acne, pimple, pustules, zits or papules, whatever you wanna call them the bottom line is they are not something we like to have on our face and body. Excess oil on our face and clogged pores result in this condition and there are many other factors which provoke acne and increase the inflammation which are your hormones, stress, food, genes, and much more. However, the topical cure for almost all of these is same. You might have to internally treat acne differently but along with that, a topical treatment is a must. Now, personally, I have extremely acne prone and sensitive skin. And in my 30's now, this acne still triggers every now on then. Lately, I was introduced to Erytop gel which is a topical antibiotic for the face. Since my teenage I had experienced various creams and lotions to clear acne, some work some didn't but my race to find the best kept going until recently when I was introduced to...

Heylo beauties Here is another blog for the makeup lovers. Talking about makeup the most important product that is the foundation of any flawless looking face is also known as a foundation. No brainer! Now, you must be thinking yes we know this. But this blog is not about what you should do to create that flawless looking face because we all have read enough that tells us what to do to create that look celebrities carry. But do we really get that??   Well here is a little disclaimer before we begin, every face in this universe has some flaws. As per the records more than 18 crore Indians are suffering from some or the other skin issues. So sit back and relax as your not the only one. So, expecting miracles out of a foundation is just not fair when we know that there is a lot that needs to be done first to our skin.

Face masks that actually work!! ( tried and tested)

Image
Hello, beauties, I hope everyone is doing well. Well as the summers have officially begun and where we are enjoying long evening walks and chilled icecreams and drinks, our skin is probably a little disappointed. With such high temperature, our skin wants something extra to keep itself hydrated and smooth. Along with drinking a lot of smoothies and juices, we need to treat our skin topically. And for that face masks and treatments come handy. Talking of facemasks. The market is loaded with some extremely promising products. But to pick the gems we need to test some completely random products that can actually harm your skin with some strong and abrasive chemicals. To overcome this, I have tried and tested some of the masks which will be great to detoxify and hydrate your skin along will adding glow and removing tan. Well to start off. My skin is oily to combination and it is very sensitive and acne prone. So if you have a similar situation going on then look out for th...

5 Best body mists to get heads turning

Image
                 Every summer has a story Summers have arrived and so have the humidity sweat and bad odour. Where the market is loaded with products claiming long-lasting fragrance, 24-hour sweat proof and what not making the shoppers confused with what claims are to rely on. But experience speaks more than words. And I will share my review on some of the best mists available in the market today. Lets first try to understand the concept of a mist and how different it is from a cologne/perfume. Well, the main difference is the effect as the perfume lasts longer than a mist for a fact that it has stronger and higher percentage/concentration of perfume oils. Ideally, the perfume can last more than 5 hours however, the mist will last a couple hours. Another major difference is the price. And the perfumes are generally more expensive than the body mists and sprays. Let's get started 1: Victoria secret: After trying a few scent...

Truth about Waist trainer and slim waist(Tried and tested)

Image
Well, with the Kardashians swearing by waist trainers/cinchers/shapers to give them that hourglass figure and tiny waist how real are the facts. Do they really work? How long might it take to show results? Is it safe to use?? Where can I get them?  If you have some of these questions in mind then just keep reading. Being a big-time Kim and Kylie fan and a regular follower of their reality show, I always wondered why they put so much emphasis on these waist trainers. And so to clear this confusion and to get rid of the baby fat post pregnancy. I decided to give it a fair shot. When it comes to the effect of these waist trainers. They do actually work and in just a week or so you will be able to notice a difference in the size if you have been consistent and wearing it religiously. The effect does vary as the ones who wear them for more number of hours will be able to witness a significant difference in even less than a week. So, to actually see the results y...

Foods to avoid (acne prone skin)

Image
Acne Prone skin not only triggers our level of confidence but also impacts our behaviour making us more reserved along with inculcating negative thinking in our minds. As dramatic as this sounds, but this is what experience speaks. It's well said that little knowledge is dangerous and so before you choose to go on any medications and start using any abrasive chemicals on our skin make sure you are aware of the root cause to get a suitable treatment. But regardless the cause there are some things we should avoid in order to prevent acne and to get clear skin. What goes in shows out. So we must be careful of what we eat some food items can make our acne worse and most of the times they are even the root cause of many skin issues. Let's get started💐 1: Dairy: If you have acne prone skin and do get acne every now and then, you are possibly allergic to some foods. The most probable item that falls into this category is milk and most of the dairy products. A...

Lipsticks MUST HAVES for Indian Beauties

Image
Our Lipstick says more than our lips do.   A well-groomed woman is incomplete without a hint of color on her lips. Now when it comes to our Indian skin tone we get a little hesitant wearing nudes pinks and corals. This is mainly because there are so many different shades of each one of these that some of them actually washes up out, makes us look dull and pigmented and some just doesn't go well with our undertones.  I remember being a teenager when I always felt that lipsticks are to be worn only by married or working women and us teenagers always wore those watery glosses available in different colours :) Well now the time has really changed and fashion and makeup industry have boomed to such an extent that lip surgeries, lip plumpers are seen as extremely trivial.  Adding a color to your lips does not just boosts the entire outlook but also makes one feel more confident and pretty. So why not?  Let's have a look at some extreme...
