HADA LABO GOKYUJYUN HYALURONIC ACID LOTION - REVIEW

Hi everyone!!! After a much needed long break… we are back with new posts!!!! Yayieeeee!! so… today’s post is gonna be about my recent favourite, a must have skin care product; The Hada Labo Gokyujyun hyaluronic acid lotion!!

This is a toner/skin lotion that is to be patted into a clean skin, to hydrate it enough which would result in problem free, plump skin. Japanese people believe that lack of hydration in skin is the root cause for major skin troubles!!

Hyaluronic acid????? Hmmmm… what is that now!!?? In actual, hyaluronic acid (HA) is already present in our skin and is responsible for many activities like lubrication of connective tissues,tissue repair, etc. It is also a Humectant, which means that it is capable of attracting moisture and enables skin to absorb it.

So, skin care products started incorporating HA in them,which helps skin not only to get hydrated,but also provide skin healing and repair, resulting in : skin firming, lightening of marks, diminishing of fine lines and wrinkles, soft and hydrated healthy looking skin!!!!

Hada Labo is a pioneer in Japanese skin care products. There is a wide range of products, each specialised for various concerns like anti-aging, lightly moisturising, intense moisturising,etc. And particularly, their this product is an all time hit!!! That’s how i got my hands on it to treat my stressed skin!!!

PALMOLIVE THERMAL SPA SKIN RENEWAL SHOWER GEL WITH CRUSHED COCONUT & JOJOBA BUTTER EXTRACTS - REVIEW

Hey friends!! Most of us don't really pay much attention to what bathing soap or gel we use, when compared to what face wash we use, what makeup products we use, etc... I personally have loved using the Medimix transparent soap (now also i love it!!) And even when it's not available due to travel or any other reason, i don't really mind using the available product!! Now.... for a person like me, i never really feel like trying out new bathing products!!

A few days back, i wanted to try out some shower gel, so that i can carry it with me easily during travels. Hence i chose the palmolive thermal spa shower gel with crushed coconut & jojoba butter extracts. So here i am reviewing it for you all.

DIY NATURAL HAIR CONDITIONER FOR THE SOFTEST HAIR POSSIBLE!!!!

Hey Ladies!! We all use conditioners these days for soft hair & & to avoid tangle. Though we know that we are using chemicals, let's be frank, we all don't have or are not able to take out enough time to keep preparing/using natural products on daily basis. But, of course i believe that we can take time once in a while to prepare DIY hair masks or conditioners to protect our hair & scalp, as much as we can, from all the chemicals, pollution & styling.

So... Having said that, here i am with a home made conditioner which is very easy, effective & tasty!! WAIT.. WAIT... TASTY??? Like Seriously??!! Well yes!!! This is a  DIY, a part of which is also a yummy recipe to snack on!!!!!And here it is....

MY FIRST EVER PHOTOSHOOT STYLING EXPERIENCE - PART 2

Hey friends.. Hope you all enjoyed reading the first part of my first ever photo shoot styling experience. 😃 Now, this post is a continuation of it. So let's  see the 5th outfit we shot.

MY FIRST EVER PHOTOSHOOT STYLING EXPERIENCE

Hey friends.. Though i have all my work pictures uploaded in my Facebook page already, i would love to share my first ever photo shoot styling experience in detail here!!! Having chosen to be a freelancing Fashion Stylist, i had to wait very patiently for someone to trust my work. And i was lucky that it happened very soon for me!! My best friend's friend happened to be my very first client.😊

Chennai based Priniva couture was definitely an amazing team to wok with. They gave me complete freedom to do my work, the way i like!! With a lovely collection of outfits, awesome and a very co-operating model : Roopa Gowda and 2 exuberant photographers; what more would a stylist need?!! Though i was hesitant as i am not a professionally trained makeup artist and still had to do it myself for this photo shoot as it was a very small one, the confidence that everyone had on me made me give my 100% and much more!!

And i guess that i succeeded in keeping up to their hopes!! 😀 Now, here comes the pics!! Since there are around 8 looks, here are the first 4 and the rest would follow in the next post.

 Having all the selected outfits in mind and owing to our lack of time due to the one day shoot schedule, i planned to keep the eye makeup basic. I went ahead with a classic Gold and black smokey eyes with a classic liner.

I just planned to change the lipstick shades and hairstyles along with the accessories obviously!!

DARE TO EXPERIMENT WITH YOUR WEAR!!

How many of you have ever tried new styles in terms of clothes , hairstyles , etc. that you develop a liking for ?? Ahh.. i don’t think many of us try new stuffs out without inhibition. 😒

There are many reasons behind “WHY WE DON'T”,  of which,

1. Uncertainty whether it will suit us or not.
2. Not being ready to face the critics.
3. Not wanting to be ' THE ODD MAN OUT '.

  are the most common reasons !!

ARE YOU A SHOPAHOLIC??!! THEN THIS IS FOR YOU!!

Hey everyone!! Aaammm.. Today's post is gonna be different from the usual posts. It's not going to be a post which will suggest or interest you into buying something, but a post that will give you tips to curb unnecessary shopping sprees!! Sounds interesting, right??!! 😎

Well, the tips are going to be very simple, might sound silly but i have seen it work too!! There is nothing wrong in trying out new suggestions. It may benefit us!!

DIY !! THE MOST EFFECTIVE FACE SCRUB EVER!!!

How many of us religiously follow the CTM(Cleanse, tone and moisturize) routine?? And...scrub our faces to remove the clog and dead skin cells , twice a week?? Well... these are the only ways to attain and maintain a clear, flawless skin!!! Actually.. we all know this, but don't really follow it!! Right???

Now..no skin can be or become flawless with absolutely no imperfections. Some may have imperfections in the form of large visible pores while some may have pigmentation or acne,etc...But by following CTM routine and scrubbing twice a week, we can achieve a visibly clear skin and prevent further skin damage..And a flawless base is the main ingredient for any makeup to look perfect !!

I have tried using a couple of scrubs like banjaras and himalayas.. but to be frank, i was neither regular nor did i feel satisfactory enough to go ahead, somehow.. but then accidentally, i used this DIY scrub and the very first result was AWESOME !! Squeaky clean, soft and supple skin !! Tadaaaa !!! 😱 So here's what you need..

KID'S FASHION SHOW!!

Hey everyone!! Recently, i happened to participate in a kid's fashion show. I designed and styled for my nieces and nephew!!! My choicest models!! 😘😘😘 So this week, i decided to share my recent work pics with you all.😀

                                                                                               RITHUL, SADHVI & SANVI

MY CLEANUP ROUTINE

Hey people!! Well after my Day & Night skin care routine, i obviously wanted to put up my Clean up routine as well, so that i can move on from this chapter!! The results would be great if we can follow our home cleanup routine twice a week, NOT MORE THAN THAT!! Well personally, i try my best to follow it at least once a week!! And occasionally succeed following it twice a week too!! It’s easy, simple and effective in the long run!! As we all know, Prevention is better than cure, i suggest home Cleanups should be started as soon as one turn’s 17 or 18, to avoid skin damage and maintain good skin!!

I wouldn’t suggest teens and one’s who are not interested to use branded scrubs and masks, to use branded ones!! Instead there are also awesome homemade natural scrubs and masks which are effective and can easily replace branded stuffs!!!! 

Below is the step by step procedure, along with the products i use and also natural replacements that i know works best.
