NIVEA Soft Light Moisturiser LIMITED EDITION


Was at a pharmacy buying medicines, and saw these mini Nivea creams in a pack. Been wanting to try one of the limited edition ones, so this is a great way to find which one I like best.

I use them only for hands & body, not for face.

Best Beauty Products | Current


Hello, all! Hope you're having a good week. I've been busy apartment-hunting for a while, and we finalized on one today. So relieved, and you know what I learned? I mean I've always known it, but now I know without a shadow of a doubt! 

When people say: "It's not about the money."

Translation: "It is about the money. Maybe we don't know it yet.
It's a-lll-w-a-y-s about the money. Wake up, silly woman! Stop wondering how MAC Viva Glam Ariana Grande Lipstick would look on you!"

Okay. So I've been using some amazing products for the past month, so wanted to share with y'all: 

L'Oreal Extraordinary Skin Boosting Oil: Favoritest, this! Best not-so-pricey premium facial oil in the Indian market right now, which also smells the best. By that, I mean it doesn't have a strong scent. Clarins Facial Oil & The Body Shop Oils Of Life have a similar strong scent, and they are super duper pricey. Hi, The Body Shop, Rs.3095? Really?
Formulated with 3 Oils:
Desert nut oil : Deeply nourishes
Geranium essential oil : Replumps skin layer by layer
Rosa canina fruit oil : Illuminates the skin 
 Will do a detailed post on this.
Price: Rs.1550  from Lifestyle


Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream : OH-EM-GEE! I'm so mad at myself for not trying this sooner. The back of my right hand was damaged until this came along. I will post before & after pictures in a separate post.
Price: Rs.300 from local supermarket


Dove Moisture Go Fresh Beauty Cream Bar with Green Tea & Cucumber Scent ~ Hello, simple soap! I started using this only because I ran out of face wash, and was surprised by how gentle and non-drying it is. Recently, I was doing research (ya, let's call it that) on anti-ageing facial cleansers, and I stumbled on an article on Oprah, where they said that expensive anti-ageing face washes are a waste of money, because they don't stay on your skin long enough to do anything. Don't you think that makes total sense? I think this is where I'll be saving my monies ;D
Price: Rs.46 from local supermarket


NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Stockholm ~  It's a pinky beige that's become one of my favorite nude lippies. Swatches to come.
Price: Rs.710 from Sephora


Maybelline Lip Gradation in Coral1 ~ This color! So bright, so pigmented! The finish is creamy to matte, so dry chapped lips will need extra work before application. Will wear this in a look sometime.
Price: Rs.500 from Lifestyle


Ardell Luckies False Lashes ~ Looking for falsies that aren't too long, that look like mascara-ed lashes? These are them.
Price: Rs.375 from Jabong


Any special products you'd like to share with the rest of us?


Enjoy your Friday!


See you again soon :*

Mini Vacation Pics & Haul

So last Thursday we'd gone for a mini vacation to Edinburgh, mainly for Mr.CZ's birthday. We stayed there for 3 days, and came back on Sunday. Too short, but we made the most of it, and had fun. 
These are most of the things I hauled:
Benefit Rockateur Blush ~ Rose gold blush. Can't wait to try it on my face. £23.50 | Rs.2362.
Shu Uemura 24K Gold Eyelash Curler (Limited Edition) ~ I wanted to try a new curler. I'd left the original silver one in India, and decided to get this gold one because it looks so beautiful. £20 | Rs.2010.
Soap & Glory Hand Food Mini Hand Cream ~ Wanted to see what the big deal is. I like it so far. £2.50 | Rs.250. 
Balmi Raspberry Lip Balm ~  These used to be round like the eos Lip Balms (pics here), but they changed it to square (I smell a lawsuit =D). £4.99 | Rs.500.
La Roche-Posay Effaclar Astringent Lotion ~ Repurchase. It's a toner, and I missed not having it. Post on it here. £8.25 | Rs.828. 
MAC Retro Matte Lipsticks ~ Already posted photos here.
Warehouse Coral Pink Clutch Bag ~ On Sale! Got it for £10 | Rs.1004. Original Price: £24 | Rs.2410.
New Look Leather Biker Jacket ~ I'm wearing it in pics below. £39.99 | Rs.4017.

The Face Shop Lovely Me:Ex Mini Pet Floral Hand Cream Review

Now that kitty is cute. I like that kitty. I would pet that kitty. But my neighbour's kitties are both evil-looking. I don't know why they keep staring at me from outside the window when I'm clicking blog photos. Wait, I'll show you at the end of this post.
Let's talk about this hand cream first. You'd maybe assume that I'll be biased because it's cutely packaged, but I'm telling you - truthfully, yes - that the hand cream is awesome! It smells nicely floral, but I can't tell you which flower(s).  To me, it's one of the best smelling hand creams I've ever tried/sniffed.
The texture of the cream is buttery-cum-silky, and it has actually turned my chapped knuckles into silky smoothness. Ya, my knuckles were chapped like they used to get when I was a kid playing with sand & marbles. I used a lot of other hand creams & body butters, but they got better only after I started using this, The cream moisturizes my hands without leaving a greasy feel. The cream's consistency, and the whole concept for that matter, is similar to that of Etude House Missing You Hand Cream.
Price ~ Rs.500 from Sephora, New Delhi. You'll get it for around Rs.250 +free shipping from Ebay.
Quantity ~ Tiny. That jar is about 2 inches long.
My Rating ~ ♥♥♥♥♥ 4.5/5
I will definitely buy more of these. The cute containers will sure come in handy for other things. At the top of my head: stud earrings, lip balm, another hand cream, etc....oh, maybe even salt & spices =)


♥ 

Okay, about the real kitties next door.....
Neighbour's Kitty #1 ~ I was clicking lipstick pics and doing lip swatches and I was so startled (read: horrified) to see those eyes!
Neighbour's Kitty #2 ~ At first, I thought it was sleeping & the eyes were closed, but no, it's looking right at me.

Cat lovers. please don't hate me. I'm sure they are harmless kitties, and half the reason they terrify me is because I've never been a cat person. But, I must also say, I have seen cute cats before.




Shopping @ SEPHORA, New Delhi

I'm back in Newcastle. We reached yesterday afternoon.....decided to take naps at around 4:30 pm..... slept like logs.... and we woke up the next morning! 6 flights in 3 weeks.... phew... no more!
This quick Sephora trip happened in the 1st week in New Delhi, before a family dinner at Punjab Grill (it has the best lamb chops!) I didn't really want to buy anything, coz most of the stuff I would have wanted- Benefit, Soap & Glory - were cheaper in UK. NYX products are also cheaper from Ebay.
