The Body Shop Life Is… Body Mist – Review

Life is…
Facing the unexpected,
Yet braving the storm,
Refusing to go down
And willing to go on…

Life is…
Learning to know yourself,
Fighting your own devils,
To sculpt out your inner strength,
From all grave perils.

Life is…
Laughter of innocence,
And family and friends,
Feeling of bliss and fortitude,
Amidst menaces multitude.

Life is…
Loving a lot and getting lost,
Blessed on a greener earth,
Glory of whose seeps through the veins,
Resplendent till we breathe our last…

Hello everyone! I couldn’t help but write some scratchpad poetry when I heard the name of The Body Shop’s line of fragrance, Life Is. 🙂 Well now when I was looking up on the internet, I realized this is not a brand new fragrance range. TBS did have some fragrance range called Life Is… some time back. Then it added Life Is… Gold to the range. However, once again with the “Gold” removed, TBS now leaves space for your imagination to weave in the meaning of Life Is… 😀

The Body Shop Honeymania Soap – Review

Hi everyone! As the temperature keeps surging in my city, I am always on my toes to run for a quick shower. 😛 Water, and water alone relieves me of the weather extremities. And with some really good bath and body products, bathing becomes an enthralling experience as a whole. 🙂 The foremost on my list of good bath products are the ones with amazing fragrances. I recently talked about The Body Shop Moringa Body Sorbet, and today I have their Honeymania Soap for review. 🙂

I have used their Honeymania shower gel and body butter before, and loved both. Wanted to try out their honey-comb shaped soap for long, but by the time I chanced upon it, the shape was revamped and now sells in rectangular bars. Sad. But I sincerely hoped this turned out just as good as the others in the Honeymania range. 🙂

MAC Colour Rocker Lipsticks : Carmine Rouge, Forbidden Sunrise – Review, Swatches

Hi everyone! Hope the start of the week is being fair to you. But ugh the ugly temperatures! Sigh. There’ so little we could do about this. But I highly recommend all of you to keep yourselves well-hydrated at the moment. These times also need us to take good care of our skin and hair. 🙂

MAC keeps launching new collections every now and then. Sometimes they come up with limited edition or brand new products, while at others they revamp the packaging of a few raved about products in their permanent line and launch them anew. Nevertheless MAC has always ensured that there’s something lucrative about all their launches. And they do it so well every time!

They had only launched the Colour Rocker Lipsticks last month, in a plethora of hues unimaginable. There were yellows, lavenders, and grays and greens. No, these ain’t my cups of tea. But certainly the matte finish of the range was something I fell for. No color range is complete without the scarlet family now, are they? Hence I picked up two shades from this range – Carmine Rouge and Forbidden Sunrise. 😀

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. 🙂
