Products that did not work for me #3

Hi guys, today I am sharing some products that did not work for me. Also referred to as disappointing products or products not worth the money/hype. Check out the previous versions HERE

Benefit Roller Lash - I did find this mascara to give good length and curl my lashes, however I found it to be a bit clumpy and did not find it volumizing enough for my liking.

Dove Foaming Makeup Remover - I like the concept of this makeup remover and its particularly good to use in the shower (if you shower at night, then its awesome). I found this makeup remover stung my eyes and its supposed to be working for waterproof eye makeup too so this just did not cut it for me.


EOS Lip Balm - This lip balm is sure cute as a button and I don't mind having it for how it looks. But this does nothing for me as a balm, its more like a gloss.

Kat Von D Tattoo Liner - This is the most disappointing of the lot as I had high expectations of it. I find that this liner slips on my eye shadows and I find it difficult to apply for that reason. Also when I start applying it, I don't find it pigmented enough as if product doesn't come out properly. I much more prefer Maybelline liners to this.

Have you tried any of these products ? What are your thoughts ?

Top 10 Makeup Brushes !

In today's post I am sharing top 10 brushes that are most loved in my collection and that I constantly reach for. The featured brushes are a mix of Real Techniques, Models Prefer (in house Priceline brand), Coastal Scents, Sonia Kashuk, MAC and elf.

RT Multi Task Brush - I use this for powder mainly but I find this is a very good size for blush and bronzer too.

Models Prefer MP100 Airbrush - I love this for foundation, just as the name suggests it gives a very natural and air brush finish. This is perfect for powder as well.


Coastal Scents 110 - I love to use this as a buffing brush for foundation. This brush though dense has a lot of flexibility too so I find it very good for buffing. I prefer this over my Sigma brushes.


RT Accent Brush - I love this brush because this can used for so many purposes. This is good for applying shadow on the lower lash line or smudging liner on lash line. I like this for applying a bold lipstick. This can also be used for defining your lip line or brows with concealer.

RT Base Shadow Brush - I love this for placing shadow on the lids and also for blending the shadow.

Different Ways to use Dry Shampoo

Dry Shampoo is a hair product that I cannot be without. Though my relationship with them was very complex to start with as I expected it to be a magic product and clean my hair just like a normal shampoo would. Gradually I understood how to use them and since then dry shampoos have become a staple in my hair wardrobe. 

In today's post I share with you 5 ways I use dry shampoo. 

Absorb Oil - One of the main reasons to use dry shampoo is to extend the wash time. Dry Shampoos don't typically clean your hair but help in absorbing oil from your roots. I typically manage to dry shampoo my hair twice between washes. I find Batiste and Girlz Only great for absorbing oil, though Batiste is not my favorite as it has too powdery for my liking.

Texture - Dry Shampoos are fab for creating some texture in your hair. The Dove dry shampoo is great for adding texture to your hair and its also nice because it has very less powdery residue. When I want to tie my hair, I like to add dry shampoos to give it some texture to fluff up my pony tail.



Volume - Dry Shampoos are great for adding volume to your hair, a blessing for someone with flat hair, like me . Both Tresemme* and Dove dry shampoo are great at adding volume to hair. I love to use the Tresemme dry shampoo as it is practically invisible, so I love to refresh my hair in between with it.

Products I have Repurchased #3 !

In today's post I am sharing the products I have repurchased. I have done two of these before, you can check them out HERE.

Nivea Soft Cream - I keep coming back to this cream and mainly use it as my hand cream and keep it in my bag or on my desk. I love that this can be used for body and face as well so its good for travelling. Its a good, affordable, fuss free cream.


The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream - I have been really enjoying this cream during the warmer months, its nice and light and feels lovely on the skin. I have used the intense version of this cream and liked it too but that was more of my winter cream.


Tresemme Heat Tamer Protective Spray - I love this heat spray as it does the job and is affordable. I love the smell too.
