Give your Eyes the Herbal Treatment! - Himalaya :)

Almost everyone is aware of the Himalaya herbal drug company. They specialize in ayurvedic, herbal healthcare products and medicines. I've always had my mum pick up Himalaya hair and skin products, medicines etc. but I never really paid much attention until I came across Himalaya Eye-Definer at one of the shops where I was shopping today. Not your usual looking thin kohl stick, this one's chubby and comes in a cylindrical, plastic mould with a very conventional looking, triangular at the base and tapering upwards kajal with the perfect point, resting in the case. :)

Waterproof it said on the covering and I paid a reasonable 110 bucks for this. As soon as I got home I tried it on first thing and trust me, it was the best buy of the evening! :D Super dark and glides along your waterline so smoothly, it requires no effort at all. This is how kajal should be :)

Since its Himalaya we're talking about, there has to be a healthy, herbal touch to the kajal! It is enriched with pure almond oil, damask rose and castor oil for cooling and nourishment of the eyes. No kidding, while I was applying the kajal, I felt a cooling sensation all along the waterline which was very relaxing and something different being offered by a kajal. All you girls who have sensitive eyes, wear lenses or glasses, this product is safe and should work well for you. :)

So guys, I really think you'll should go ahead and get this one coz its a really good product to buy and at an extremely affordable price! :D

Everything Under One Roof : SEPHORA!

I'm sure most of you guys are aware of Sephora but for those who aren't here's something you guys really need to check out. Sephora.com is a site where you get beauty and makeup products of different brands all under one roof. I won't say the prices are cheaper or anything but I love it how I find everything that I need at one place. Now you won't have to surf a hundred different websites for every other product you need, you have it all here at Sephora :) This brand is renowned and absolutely safe so you need not worry about the payment procedures or any other issues regarding your orders reaching you in time, in good condition etc.




Here are some things I came across at Sephora which I'm absolutely in love with! :)

1) In the Bath and Body section I found a multitasking shower gel, shampoo and bubble bath called "The Pink Cotton Confection" by Philosophy. Its Cotton Candy flavored and that made wanna order it right away! It costs $16 which is around 800 bucks.



2) Next is, Liquid Bronzer/Self Tanner by Christian Dior. This one's perfect to give you a sun-kissed look and a tan which looks more natural than fake. I personally love liquid bronzers coz I think the fact that they are liquid makes them blend so easily with the skin. Apply it wherever you like and work it till you get the desired tan shade! Normal bronzers can get patchy on the face depending on how pigmented they are.



3) Then we've got, an eye shadow palette from the Sephora collection. Its a set of ten earthy, neutral shades and all the basic one's you'd need are included. Also, they have a tinge of shine and sparkle to it! Two dark, chocolate browns, one highlighter, one light shade of cream, one silver, two champagne bronze shades, two shades of a deep pinkish purple and one deep gold. This palette is a good buy for those who are more into warm eye shadow shades. It costs $28 which is around 1400 bucks.



4) Nars has this beautiful nude-champagne pink shaded nail polish which has a nice shine to it. The shade made me fall in love it immediately :) I think you guys know it by now I'm obsessed with nude/earth colors, lol! The description said that the new Nars formula is meant for long lasting, durable and glossy nails :D

                                      


5) Blush shimmer by Amazing Cosmetics! A mousse-like powder blush with extra-long staying power is what the description suggested. The shade is a warm pink with a shiny, pearl-like finish meant for the perfect glow! :) Amazing Cosmetics is not the best of the brands available when it comes to makeup but if something looks good, why not give it a shot?



6) Next is the Vanity Brush Set from the Sephora Collection! This is a six piece brush set in a black leather cylindrical kit with a separate slot for each brush. This is an ideal travel accessory and also a must-have! 

The set includes: 

- Complexion (blush/powder) brush.
- Concealer brush.
- Pointed eye crease brush.
- Flat eyeliner brush.
- Eye blending brush.
- Smudge brush.





                   If you want something with a dash of color to it and more classy looking you can go in for this white and gold brush kit, also from the Sephora Collection.



This one's really adorable with a Hello Kitty shaped tin! :D



7) Sephora has some awesome looking compact mirrors you guys must check out! :D Here are a few!

This mirror is for a good cause! :)
