Best News For Gloss Lovers in India



I personally do not use gloss much because I already have huge lips which look odd when I wear gloss. The only gloss I use regularly (that too only during winters) are Maybelline Colorsensational Hooked on Pink and Touch of Toffee. I love them both and now, Maybelline has launched another one from the same range - Maybelline Colorsensational High Shine. Out of the 12 shades, 8 are now launched in India

Shades Available - Glisten Up Pink, One Shine Day, Electric Shock, Captivating Coral, Gleaming Grenadine, Raspberry Reflections, Plum Luster and Mirrored Mauve


Priced at 350 INR. 


These are already available at MedPlusBeauty. But do remember that their delivery service have deteriorated. It will be better if you buy from a local shop.

Sweet Hero : My Mild Scrub, Cleanser and Face Wash from Lotus Herbals


Long before the companies started with 'facial at home', '3 in one products', 'parlor type clean-up', there is an Indian company who nailed it. They had 

  • a scrub which had gentle beads helping you to get a moderate to heavy exfoliation
  • a scrub which cushiony medium which prevented over exfoliation plus helped the product to be used as a face mask
  • a scrub that has soap in it but very very less amount hence clarifying skin without drying it out. In fact, this is the only product with SOAP that I allow for my face. 

And you know what – all these there are actually ONE product.

But, you have never heard the company claiming at that way MAYBE because 

A. when it was launched two years back, there was no trend of multitasking product. For Eg - if anyone launch a tinted moisturizer now, then they will name it as BB cream because THAT is what is IN now! 

B. the company had a face wash and a mask from the same range. (both of them never take off – yet to find someone who considers any of them a HG product). 

Added to it, the marketing people decided to use the trend that is in India for decades – WE MAKE YOU FAIR! They added the terms WHITE and GLOW for the branding. Every one wanted to be fair in India. Whereas now, only few girls fall for the gori-gori claims and there many who will willingly never buy anything which even make a subtle claim of fairness. 

I, on the other hand ignore what the company claims, have a look at the ingredients, check the texture and buy products and so, I go this simply because most scrubs in India had SLS that point of time and this one listed it toward the end of the ingredients list meaning lesser quality.

International Toiletry Co Caribbean Collection In Westside India

About a month back, I accidentally discovered very nice packaged bath products on one neglected corner of Westside. I thanked Tata Group for bringing these lovely products in India. The combinations areo great. These can surely compete with the class of The Body Shop at a much much much lower price

I badly wanted it share with you because of the very nice combination of fruits, but I could not take photos in the store. I came back and Googled about it. I only remember 'Caribbean something' but in Google I got everything from Pirates of Caribbean to Holidays in Caribbean to what not! 

I rolled my sleeves today and decided - "What ever be it, I am gonna get you today. Period."

And I found them in the Designer's website. 





The amazing variants available -
  • Coconut & Lime
  • Pink Grapefruit & Mandarin
  • Papaya & Strawberry
  • Mango & Passion Fruit
Product Range 
  • Exfoliating Shower Gel
  • Body Lotion
  • Soap
  • Hand Wash
  • Body Moisturizer 
  • and more...

Pages From Diary - The Incident That Proved That Something Is Wrong With Me

May 4, Around 8 PM - While going thought all the random photo in FB, I discovered that Erica darling have posted photos of Real Techniques Brush Sets. That surely means she might have found an amazing website that ships RT Brushes to India. Just FYI - RT brushes are loved a lot by everyone because they are affordable and great. And yes, this also means that RT is not available in India.

May 4, 8:45 PM - I found that Erica was online. So, I popped the question - "From where?" 
"My frnd got it 4 me" 
"*sad smiley* i am dying to get real techniques, no one ships it to India *sad smiley*"
"Lookfantastic.com ships 2 India" 
"seriously ???? i am heading to the website now "
"Kool...u wont regret. .njoy"

May 4, 10:30 PM - Cart full of RT products, Burts Bees Gift Packages etc. Worried about what will I eat for the rest of the month if I spend it all in one go.

May 4, 11:30 PM and after - Planned to get UD Naked. So, pinged Erica again for suggestion. And after getting her views I decided to get only UD palettes - Naked and Naked 2. 

Okay..lets add one RT brush as well. Hmm let's get only the RT brush for now. Checkout. What? ~500 INR for tracking? How to un-select this? Ohh Man...Okay let's get more and more goodies to justify this extra charges.

May 5, 3 AM - Order Placed.
