Clinique 3-Step Skin Care System for Skin Type 3 : My Current CTM Routine & Review

Hi everyone! Tropical weathers are tough to deal with. One day there’s a temperature of 37 degrees and moderate humidity, the next day you have a bout of showers that hardly lowers the temperature, but causes a surge in humidity levels. My skin freaks out in such conditions. 😐 It’s been long that I have been religiously following a Cleansing-Toning-Moisturizing routine,as that’s the best way to beat moody weather blues. 🙂 I started off with Neutrogena, and presently continuing with Clinique.

I have been extremely happy with the results from Neutrogena. Liquid Neutrogena, and its Oil Free Moisture for Combination Skin have been inseparable parts of my skincare regime. Two of its toners – Neutrogena Deep Clean Blackhead Eliminating Toner and Fine Fairness Toner gave me good enough results. However, the paraben content in Neutrgena products started to put me off lately. That’s when on my last visit to the Clinique counter, the SA there advised me the very convenient 3-Step Skincare System. 🙂

Kama Ayurveda Signature Essentials For Women Gift Box – Photos

Hey everyone! Hope you enjoyed the long weekend. 🙂 Well I sure had an eventful Sunday that I shared with you in my Sunday Diaries. Caught up with the long-awaited Baahubali 2 : The Conclusion and did some store hopping at the Quest Mall. In my previous post I was talking about the amazing gifting options at the Kama Ayurveda boutique. So it was only natural that I picked up one myself. 😛

The gift box that I picked up has “signature essentials for women”, with a very pretty floral theme. The box itself looks absolutely feminine and sophisticated. I must say I love the way this box looks, so it was rather tempting to click some pictures. 🙂 You don’t have to deal with a lot of mindful rambling in this post, just plain pictures and a little information. 😀 So go ahead, check out the snaps. If you’ve not yet been to any store of Kama, hopefully you will get an idea of their extensive gifting options too!

Neutrogena Oil Free Moisture Combination Skin – Review

Hi everyone, Today I’m going to talk about the Neutrogena Oil Free Moisture Combination Skin.This is a moisturizer that is a boon for oily-combination skin types. My T-zone tends to oil a lot during the major part of the year and the rest of the face remains normal. When I initially came across this I was indeed very happy. Neutrogena is a good drugstore brand that has a huge range of skincare products for almost every skin type.
