Bid goodbye to your partied out skin | Press Release

Weddings, Christmas, New Year’s Eve. While the festive season can be a blast, it can take a toll

on the condition of your skin. Lack of sleep, winter dryness, and exposure to excessive make up

can leave your skin ‘partied out’. Bid the wintery party months goodbye and welcome hydrated

and glamorously glossy skin. Inspired by international trends, Lakme has come up with a post-

party-season skincare regime to ensure your skin stays free of impurities and has a fresh glow

for the months after. We shouldn't have to wait until summer to have hydrated glowing skin –

following these simple skincare steps can help you achieve this look even at the start of the

year. Because you can’t start 2015 with dull, lifeless skin!


The thumb rule for glowing skin is eating healthy. In addition to fiber rich foods and citrus fruits,

a healthy diet should include fish and nuts too! Exercise stimulates blood flow and is also

essential for quick results. While hydrating on the outside is important, hydrating on the inside

is equally important – aim to drink at least 6-8 glasses of water a day for clear, glowing skin.

Water helps flush out toxins and keeps skin healthy.

In addition to a healthy diet, here’s a simple skincare routine to achieve a glossy sheen

throughout the year:


Step 1: Start your winter morning with Lakmé Absolute Skin Gloss Facial Foam and prepare it to

absorb all the goodness of the Lakmé Absolute Skin Gloss Reflection Serum to give your skin a

glossy sheen.


Step 2: After applying the serum, complete your morning regime with the Lakmé Absolute Skin

Gloss Gel Crème that gives your skin nourishment and a lustrous glow which lasts all day.


Step 3: Complete the look with the Lakmé Absolute Gloss Addict lipstick and get ready to turn

heads the moment you step out.


But your regime doesn’t end in the mornings. Your skin like yourself needs to unwind at the end

of a tiring day. Be sure to follow these two quick steps before you hit the sack to wake up to

glossy glowing skin.


Step 1: Retire for the evening with Lakmé Absolute Skin Gloss Facial Foam and follow it up with

the Lakmé Absolute Skin Gloss Reflection Serum. The serum hydrates the skin to make it look

lustrous.


Step 2: Apply the Lakmé Absolute Skin Gloss Overnight Mask (leave on mask) overnight which

replenishes and moisturizes your skin while you sleep.

Myntra.com Haul

Hello Everyone!!!!

This post has been lying in my drafts for a while now. Recently Myntra.com offered me Rs.1000 /-  voucher to shop for beauty products. What do you think I did?? Ofcourse I said yes!!! Who says no to shopping.

My Experience:

This was the first time I was shopping with Myntra.com so I had to create a new account. It hardly takes 5 minutes to sign up. Don't want to do that??? You can also opt for Connect with Facebook option.

The site is easy to browse and you can narrow your searches category, brand, price, color, etc.

They have just started with the Beauty and Cosmetics so you may not find all the products but they are adding new things to their inventory.

They offer free shipping on orders above Rs. 999 /- which is not bad. If less than that you have to pay a flat shipping fee of Rs. 79/-

I placed my order on 19 May at 19:53 ( now you know I am really running late with my posts :P). My order was shipped on 20 May 00:14 (yes at night!!! don't they sleep??) and I received it on 21 May in the afternoon. That was super fast!!!

They offer various payment options - COD ( for orders between Rs. 299/- to Rs 20000/- for most of the addresses) , Credit Card, Debit Card, Net Banking and E.M.I. (Credit Card).

Also when placing an order with them don't forget to checkout the coupon code. The best part is you don't have to search for them. You can find them in My Myntra Coupons when you login.

Now let me quickly show you what I ordered.

All the products came together packed in a white Myntra bag.

Inside the bag all the products were placed in these sturdy boxes. I loved these ones as they can be reused to store something.

The products were bubble wrapped twice and hence reached me safe without any damage.

And here is what I ordered.

1. VLCC Cacti & Litchi facewash.
2. VLCC Frangipani & Oatmeal scrub.
3. VLCC Strawberry & Lily peel off mask.
4. Maybelline Baby Lips lip balm
5. Maybelline Dream Touch Blush.
6. Posnds BB cream.

I was looking for facewash meant for dry skin so I ordered the VLCC products.

Since the Maybelline Dream Touch Blush comes in a glass pot packaging it was placed inside yet another cardboard box.

A closer look to all the products.

I am very impressed with Myntra.com and am surely going to shop with them again. Super fast shipping, very good packaging and discount coupons in your shopping bag - What more do you want? I just wish they add more products to their beauty and cosmetics collection.
Will try to review these products soon.
I am also eyeing  their apparels, shoes and bags :D

Also you can follow Myntra.com on Facebook and Twitter to stay updated about the offers and sale.

P.S. I know the pictures are not very good.The camera is now dead (R.I.P.) and these are the last pictures I clicked with it. I ll now have to buy a new one.

* I was provided with a voucher for review but the reviews are 100% honest.

Do you follow me on GFC?? If not join now :D

Also follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest for regular updates.

Coconut : The Wonder Nut

Hey Gals!!

Don't you all love sipping coconut water (and eating the tender coconut meat too) by the beach??
Did your grandma tell you too that coconut oil is the secret to healthy hair??
Did you read in school that coconut is also known as "Kalpavruksha" as every part of the tree is useful in some way ???

If Yes SAME PINCH :D

Coconut has been an integral part of the Indian culture and used in some form or the other. But till late I did not know that it is Good for Skin too. Did you??
If not read below as I crack open the beauty secrets and surely you will go nut over the Coconut too :D

• CLEANSER : You Can use the coconut milk as cleanser. Yes it removes dirt and gives you a squeaky clean skin.
• MOISTURIZER: It contains  lots of fats and hence has moisturizing properties too. I am too lazy to do this so I use Parachute's Deep Nourish Body Lotion. Give it a try and I am sure you will love it too 

• REPAIR: Coconut milk is also known to repair the damaged skin and give it a smooth texture and glow.

• ACNE : I don't have acne prone skin but have heard it helps you get rid of acne too.

• AGEING: No one can stop the wrinkles and fine lines but they can be delayed right. Regular use of Coconut milk will help you with that :)

And yes all of this goodness without any side effects :D

So what are you waiting for?? Go crack open the coconut for soft glowing skin :)

P.S. the post is a part of a contest for Parachute http://goodnessofcoconut.com/
