I Got my Gummies.. where are yours?

Given the current times that we all live in, not only it is essential to take care of yourselves, but it’s equally important to make sure you are taking the nutrients in the right amount. 

The pandemic has hit us all and no matter what we do, it is somewhere affecting us one way or the other. In times like these, what I have inculcated in my every day routine, is have 1 Vit C gummy. We all need multivitamins for our bodies to get going, and in situations like todays, Vitamin C and Zinc tablets are something we all should be taking in, regardless of we being COVID positive or not. 

These immunity boosting gummies are loaded with Vit A, C, D, Zinc and folic making it no less than a multivitamin that works as an instant energy booster. Also, acts as a stress buster and lifts up the mood at the time. 

The best part about these gummies is that they are sugar free. While these candy gummies are usually loaded with sugar, Hea Immunity Booster comes without any added sugar content sans compromising its taste. 

It comes in orange flavour and has to be chewed properly without swallowing.

These gummies work equally good for kids and adults alike and fights infections in the body along with fighting tiredness. 

Isn’t it just so easy to consume these bite sized nutrition at any time of the day?! 

I have been consuming these from quite a while... when are you going to get started?

Getting to Good Hair Days

After recovering from Covid-19, my body took its own time to get back to its original form. The virus didn’t affect me much when it stayed in my body, but left its aftermath for sure. 

While everything kind of came back on track, my hair acted troublesome. Not only did they turn frizzy, but were also falling like never before. 

Did I mention, it worried me... big time! As things were not back to normal due to covid situation, I chopped my hair by myself to fix them. 

I thought my problem was solved and I was elated to see a clear view of my comb, only to learn that this happiness of mine was temporary. 

Months later, I was back to square one. I started having Biotin capsules on a regular basis and a glass of coconut water every day, without fail. That is like the first step I take and advise my brides too to control their hair fall. But this time, my formula didn’t work. And all I was left with was a forlorn hope, of having a good hair day and my comb not full of my hair stands, every time I comb my hair. 

Coming across Kesh king and its hair care range, I was intrigued surely of its performance. And like any other person, I ignored it. ‘Just another hair brand promoting its product’, ‘Another hair care range with expert marketing team’, ‘if only these things genuinely work’, ‘if only they could put some real Ayurveda stuff into these products as much as they say they do’, were few of my thoughts when I came across their image. 

But hearing its reviews from people who I know personally, kind of intrigued me and pushed me to give it a go. 

While it says, its the no. 1 Ayurvedic oil with crores of satisfied users, I wanted to know if that worked for #metoo. 

The label on the bottle of shampoo and conditioner claims that it controls the hairfall by 80% on its first use. Obviously, I rolled my eyes to it. But seeing the amount of hair fall I was going through, I did want to try it for once.. I mean let’s find out this 80% theory, right?! 

It may sound predictable at the moment, but it did work. It was yesterday when I washed my hair, and combed them straight in the night and there were hardly any hair strand (5-6 may be...)! 

I was beyond amazed to see the difference in just one hair wash. Do I need to mention that it has now become a part of my daily routine. 

I have always been skeptical of applying hair oils because I’m not sure if they control the hair damage, but at the time of their application, they break my hair beyond numbers. And this is what scares me. And so I usually dump the hair oils. But I was stunned how it performed on my hair. It really really worked without much of the strands in my comb or hands. 

This product comes along its super powerful hair oil, shampoo and conditioner. Plus, the hair capsules. 

The hair oil is made with 21 herbs like Bringhraj, Tulsi, Amla, Hibiscus and is clinically proven to reduce hairfall and promote new hair growth. The best part is, it comes with a unique applicator that allows you seep the oil deep into the roots of your scalp and give you the best results. And mind it genuinely is better than most of the other hair oils that I’ve tried. Why do I say that? Because it is clinically proven to be twice more effective than its peers. 

Coming to the shampoo, and the way it controlled my hair fall, I was absolutely in awe of how it work so magically! And so I read more about it. My first target was to hunt for any sulphate content in the ingredients but there were none. Yes! None whatsoever. Just herbal Ayurvedic stuff and absolutely no chemical. 

Its oil and shampoo are the only products in the market that are certified by Anthony Pearce Trichology, which is a recognised International Hair Institute.

The Kesh King Ayurvedic Conditioner comes in a smooth creamy texture somewhat similar to the other conditioners in the market but is a little extra smooth when applying. Thanks to the presence of aloe Vera in it managing my frizzy hair just perfectly. 

The Kesh King Ayurvedic capsule is an Ayurvedic patented hair medicinal preparation with no side effects whatsoever. 

Just in case, if you have any queries about the product or have questions regarding your hair concerns you can directly connect their helpline number- the only Brand to have free consultation on hair problems by experts.

You can purchase their range on any store or online at this link. You can also check out their Instagram page @Keshkingofficial and YouTube channel here. 

I hope you found the post useful and the products worthy for trying. Believe me, they work. They worked on my hair. I’m sure they will on yours too.

Till then,

Keep reading.

Feel the Difference with Vasu Kumkumadi

Changing my field of profession and turning into a Makeup Artist has given me sufficient insights about my skin and the skin regime that rotates around it. 

Choosing the right product according to my skin type and being disciplined in using them on a daily basis has been one of the most satisfying experiences ever. 

And this change doesn’t come overnight. It comes with time, with consistency and discipline. These factors become crucial especially when you are in your 30’s (at least for me). 

Exfoliating your skin once or twice in a week is something all of us should religiously do. Then what is it that resists us from doing it? Sometimes, it’s the lack of knowledge about the right product. And other times it’s sheer laziness which stops us from doing it. 

And because of this we end up using a product that has harsh granules that don’t do the job and leaves the skin irritated, red and dry. End result? We eventually stop doing it in the first place! 

Bur we don’t want that, do we?

So recently, while searching from the plethora of products available in the market, one such product that I came across is the Vasu Kumkumadi Tailam Sugar Scrub- Age Revitalizing. 

It’s extremely mild and has soft granules that instantly blends into your skin and feels soft like a fur. This gentle exfoliating scrub eliminates dirt, removes sebum and unclogs pores, leaving your skin smooth and shiny as silk. 

The Vitamin E acts as an anti-oxidant by neautralising free radicals, hence preventing ageing leaving the skin soft and supple. 

We all know how bad is sugar for our skin when we consume it orally. While at the same time, the same sugar when applied on the skin in various forms does wonders. 

Isn’t that ironic? 

Sugar scrubs are a blessing for people with an oily or a combination skin as it not only cleanses the skin but also help in reducing the black and white heads. 

Pro tip here is always top off your skin with a face pack after you use a scrub. Any scrub for that matter. Apply the face pack after exfoliating your skin and see the instant visible difference in your skin. 

The Vasu Kumkumadi having 40 years of Excellence, know their forte. The texture of the scrub is so soft that it immediately melts into the skin providing intense moisturisation, being gentle yet effective at the same time. Enriched with the power of 22 herbs, it works wonders in reducing fine lines and wrinkles. 

In times, when everything is coming at our doorstep from the rest of the world, Vasu Kumkumadi scrub is a made in India product and goes to 40 countries round the globe! Isn’t that a moment of pride? 

While everything else is fine, but nothing beats the ease of buying the products online. So you can simply buy it from Amazon or directly from the Vasu Store to make your purchase and start noticing the remarkable difference in your skin, just like I did. 

Cheers

#AtoZChallenge Q- Q-tip

Yes. That’s what they’re called in the world of makeup!

Ever spoilt your liner after spending minutes in front of the mirror? And then regretted it? And then because it got so thick or by mistake, you placed a dot at the place not required? And because of all this, you had to clean your whole eye, not to mention the whole makeup, because you were trying to clean up that accident, in the first place? Isn’t it annoying to clean the face and then start all over again?!

I know it is… Big time! At least, it was my story for sure! Until I learned this trick!

I have brought a really fine quick tip to fix that extra liner or mascara dot if placed accidentally anywhere near your eye without disturbing any other part of the makeup!

The answer is the simple Q-tip.

So for example, in this video, I accidentally placed a big dot above my lashes while applying mascara (Okay, don’t roll your eyes! It wasn’t an accident. I deliberately did that to show you guys :P :D ;)). The idea is to not touch it or disturb it immediately. Let it be there for 5 minutes and allow it to get dry properly. Meanwhile, you can finish off the other part of the makeup. Now take your q-tip and scrape off the product. It will come out easily without leaving any marks behind.

That’s it and you’re done!

Tip: This can be done with liquid liners and mascaras.

Caution: Please do not apply q-tip to gel liners just like that. It will only spoil your makeup. This trick works with liquid liners.

Let me know if it was helpful to you.

#AtoZChallenge P-Prepping of the Skin

Before any makeup starts, it is extremely important to follow certain steps before going ahead with any makeup product.

Prepping of skin is referred to as CTM i.e. Cleansing, Toning, and Moisturizing and is one of the main steps in the makeup ritual. A good makeup artist will never skip these steps and my personal recommendation is that you should never skip this in your daily skin care regime as well.

Clean your face with a good cleanser, apply toner on your skin and let it dry for a bit and then apply your favorite moisturizer. Never miss the sunscreen in the day, even if the weather is cloudy. Sunscreen is always a must.

A lot of people underestimate the importance of a toner. But that shouldn’t be done. Toner helps you swipe away any leftover dead skin cells, makeup or any other bacteria. In the summers, toner provides a good amount of hydration to your skin.

Always invest in an alcohol-free toner as it typically dries up the skin.

In this video, I have shown you the prepping of skin.

When you follow all the above steps, you will notice a little sheen on your face instantly. That is the magic of CTM.

I have used Brightening Cleanser from O3

Toner- Kama Rose Water (one of the best in the market)

Moisturizer- Acrofy from Dr. Reddy (This is recommended by my dermatologist as my skin is prone to acne), you can use any other that suits you.

I hope you found it useful. Comment for further questions.

#AtoZChallenge- O- Opens your eyes

Today it is about how you can create the illusion of showing more opened up eyes just by one additional product in your kit. 

The white kajal pencil. Yes! That’s it. You know, when this product was launched, I always wondered, who in the world would wear white kohl?! First, it gives that ghostly look and none of us would want to look like a vamp.

Second, why... I mean, just why white??!! Now, all I do is smile at my naive thoughts. 

It is always about the right use of every makeup product and this is no different. 
Just apply a bit of it on your waterline along with your regular kohl or shadow. And notice the immediate difference that comes just because of the white line. 

I have used white Kajal from @lagirlcosmetics and you can avail it from @mynykaa.

Check out the video and ask me if you more doubts about it.

#AtoZChallenge- N- Nude Lips

There was a time when I used to think nude shades of lipstick are only for fair girls. And so I never wore them.

Such a myth it was.

Some years back, I discovered the power and the beauty of nude shades. And I am so glad I did. Nude shades are something that every woman must keep in her kit. And please ladies, if you think it won’t suit you, then you are wrong. Maybe you’ve not found THE ONE :D :D Keep looking for it, don’t give up and I am sure you will find it one day! (I am sounding like someone asking you to keep looking for the right man ;) :D :P )

Nude shades work great if you want to attend an afternoon event, daily application, and if you want to go a little dramatic with the eyes then nude lips work wonders!

For daily makeup, if you’re comfortable and have time, you can use a lip liner. Direct application will also do. I generally prefer the direct application of the lipstick.

The lipstick shade I have used here is Wine Play, from Lakme 9 to 5 range. (Sad news is this shade isn’t available anymore).

I have coated it with Liquid matte lipstick in the shade Blush Velvet, from Lakme again. These kinds turn into matte after a few seconds of the application. Also, if you haven’t tried this shade, please do! It’s brilliant!

Another very good shade in the nudes is, Skin Deep, from Faces

If you want to splurge a little bit, then the shades Crush, Sugar Mama, Wife and Icon, from Huda Beauty are a few good options you can give it a go.

Tip: Always apply a little amount of lip balm before proceeding with the lipstick. This keeps your lips hydrated and avoid them getting chapped.

Another tip: To make your lipstick last longer (which I’m sure all of us want), dab a little compact/foundation/concealer, whatever suits you and then proceed with your favorite lip color.

Any questions? You know the drill!

#AtoZChallenge M- Mascara

Really easy to apply and extremely difficult to remove (at least for me :D :P). But I am here for the application right now.

I’m sure we all know how to apply mascara but I’m going to share a few small hacks for you guys to make it perfect.

Start by curling your lashes. The tip here is to warm it a bit with the help of a blow may and then curl your lashes. Trust me, you will be amazed at the results just by curling the lashes.

Then take your mascara and start applying in zigzag motion (not straight) just the way I have shown in the video. By doing this, you will not end up having the excess product at the end of your lash and the lashes look more grown and fine.

The third thing that you need to keep in mind, while doing your lashes is, to look at a straight direction and not upwards when you do the upper lash.

For the lower lash too, try to look straight and I am 100% sure, these tricks will give you those perfect lashes.

Want to know how to remove it? Stay tuned to my page and it watch out!

Have a questions? Just drop me a message.

#AtoZChallenge L- Liner

Today, I have made a video about how you can make a winged liner and immediately see its effect popping up your eye entirely.

The trick is to first draw a slant line from the outer corner of the eye stretching it outwards and then filling in inwards. Make sure you don’t make it thick in the inner corner. Just let it be thick till the middle of the eye.

Refer the picture for the inner and outer corners of the eye.

For making a winged liner, either use a gel liner with an eyeliner brush. Or use a liquid liner with a really fine tip. It makes really easy to apply and also, gives a fine shape to it. 

Worried about spoiling your makeup with the liquid liner? Stay tuned to my page and soon I’ll be coming with a tip where you can erase or remove the black spot or any mark (that often makes a home on our face and gives nightmares if you may have to remove it), without affecting the rest of the makeup.

I have used Maybelline gel line in the color, Blackest Black. It is one of the best ones available in the market. For beginners, please avoid using the brush that comes with the gel and invest in an eyeliner brush.

The application becomes quite simpler if used with the right brush.

Till then, enjoy the video!

This was all about winged eyeliner. Tell me in the comments if you have any questions.

#AtoZChallenge K- Kohl

A day without kajal feels so dull and not to mention, people around you start to feel you've not slept well or are unwell. I'm sure it must be your story as well!

Isn't it your most favorite and most used product? Kohl is one thing that is highly popular amongst teens, college girls, married, middle age and even amongst elder women. Just a simple black stroke brings so much of life to the eyes and to the face, isn’t it? Look at the picture to see what I mean.

                                  

There are obviously a lot of ways of applying kohl but the most simple is applying on the waterline. 

However, a good number of people fear when it comes to experimenting with kajal. What if it gets too dark? What if it converts into vampire look? What if it doesn’t suit me? Well, the questions are plenty in your head, I'm sure. 

Okay, now tell me, how many of you smudge your kajal after its application? I’m sure a few of you must be doing this like a pro, but many people are still hesitant about it.

And so, for you beautiful people, I have brought a new way to apply your kajal with a little smudging.

Follow the video and tell me if you feel you can try it.

Comment for more questions.

#AtoZChallenge J- Jawline

Ever wanted a killer jawline but don’t have one? Or, couldn’t make one? Well, I have a tutorial for you that will help you make that perfect, sexy jawline you always desired.

Take a bronzer two tones darker than your foundation or a shadow two shades darker than your skin tone and create that perfect jawline. Follow the brush strokes and the angle the way I have done in the video and I’m sure you will be through with it.

                                       

Luckily, I am blessed with a great jawline, so I don’t have to work too much for it. But I do have double-chin and for that, I have to work extra!

In this video, I have first used a cream concealer, 2 shades darker than my skin tone, blended it into my skin and then used a powder shade of a darker color to create the perfect jawline that gives you an uplifted look.

Have doubts? Tell me in the comments or DM me.

#AtoZChallenge I-Individuality

Individuality is something that makes you stand out from the crowd. It is that particular feature that distinguishes you from someone else.

When it comes to makeup, there is a certain pattern that people follow. Some people never leave the house without putting on their kajal. Some people cannot do without wearing their lipstick. Some are bound to wear compact powder. Some don’t leave without shaping their eyebrows and the list is endless.

Here, in this post, I have shared my general routine makeup that I do when I have to go out in the afternoons or light evenings. These are a must do for me. I cannot step out without completing all these steps for an afternoon event. And it isn't too much. It gives me a very subtle, natural, dewy look that goes well with almost every occasion. 

Check out the video guys and let me know what you feel about it.

And tell me in the comments below, what is it for you that you cannot do without while going out of the house?

Cheers
