Maybelline Baby Lips Candy Wow - Peach

beauty


Hello Chicsters!

December may give you good hair and skin days but you also need to pamper your skin and hair the most during this time. Today I am here to share with you the review of a lip care essential that also happens to be the best launch of the season, Maybelline Baby Lips Candy Wow range. To be honest I was a bit surprised when the Candy Wow range was launched in India. As none of the lip balms as of yet had been launched in a twist up crayon packaging. Also the Candy colors were very refereshing from all the other deep colored lip products that were being released lately.

Hello Chicsters!


Its Mani Monday!!! At least that is what I tell myself to beat my Monday blues. I had been wanting to try Essie nail enamels for the longest time and when I finally got them last Easter I loved them so much that I forgot all about reviewing them. I had gone to Debenhams to pick up the shade Sole Mate as I had heard so much about it but when I came across this gorgeous duo set without a doubt I added them to my cart.

Hello Chicsters! 



Gifting can be a tricky topic to speak on. I always get a bit stuck when it comes to gifting anything though it be birthdays or any other occasion. After a certain point there are no innovative gifting ideas that I can think of to surprise someone. However, this Diwali I have the perfect gift from Kama Ayurveda for my mum that is so unique and pretty, I am sure she will love it. So keep reading on to know more about it.

beauty
HiyA Lovelies, 




It has been raining beauty subscriptions on the blog lately. With the festive season coming up the theme of this month's Fab Bag was Get Set to Celebrate. The ethnic bag complimented the theme very well. The bag was a classy red with a pink flap over it that was covered with some gold detailing. So lets peek and see what did I get in this pretty bag:

HiyA Lovelies,




After a long week Detox Sundays have become a vital part of my weekend. My detox Sundays include a lot of self pampering with skincare products and absolutely no makeup. I am very pleased with the Anniversary edition MSM box this month as all the products compliment a detox day well. It has everything you can think of from organic face masks to scented candle. I literally have used every product in the box this Sunday and was more than happy with it as I had a wonderful afternoon. So let's peep into this box and see what did I receive this month.

My Envy Box October 2015 - Anniversary Edition

beauty
HiyA Lovelies,



In the past few months My Envy Box have outdone themselves each month. They have been delivering more than the expectations of all of their subscribers because of which I was really tempted to resubscribe. It has been ages since I have subscribed to My Envy Box and I am really happy that I did get their 2nd Anniversary edition box. To start with, the box that arrived this month was really very beautiful as you can see below. The classy white box with a really pretty floral design on it made me get even more excited to check out the products in it.




As it was their Anniversary box I had high expectations from it but they delivered much more than I could imagine. So let me cut to the chase and finally unravel the products that I did get in this gorgeous box.

HiyA Lovelies, 


Wedding planning is usually a roller coaster ride where sometimes everything is on track and sometimes its goes all topsy turvy. Even if you have a wedding planner the most stressed out person before a wedding would always be the bride. As everything shouldn't be less than Perfect for the big day. One of the main tasks is finding your Perfect Wedding Dress. A wedding dress that would enhance your beauty and make you look classy and breathtaking all in one look. Sounds stressful, doesn't it? So let show you some beautiful wedding dresses I came across on this site called as promtimes.co.uk

Plum Grapeseed and Buckthorn mask

HiyA Lovelies,



In the past few months my skin has been going through a rough patch cause of the constant changes in weather. In this time of need I can and always have relied on face masks to help soothe my irritated skin. Even this time a lovely face mask by Plum skincare really helped me a lot which I would be reviewing for you today. Also, I had been wanting to try out the Plum range from a long time and this face mask was the apt product for me to start trying their range from.

LAKMÉ Absolute LIP POUT in Pink Fantasy

beauty
HiyA Lovelies,


I am sure by now you all maybe knowing my love for matte products that I keeping blabbering on and on about in my blog. So when Lakmé introduced their matte lip tints range it goes without saying I knew I had to grab atleast one of those pretty pops. For the past few months I had made it my mission to avoid buying as many makeup products as possible so that I could show some love to the ones I already own. However, constantly see other people try these newly launched babies it really put me to the test. Finally, I did cave in and got one of the prettiest pink shades which I do not regret buying at all now. Excluding the pretty color I did like a few more aspects of this lip tint which I shall disclose in this review so keep reading to know more...

Kama Ayurveda Pure Rose Water

beauty
HiyA Lovelies, 



Today I will be reviewing one of my most favourite skincare products this month. I have been using this product for only a couple of weeks now and it has become one of my most favourite within no time. Most of the people reading this maybe thinking that this is just rose water how can it be different to all the other rose waters in the market. Or practically thinking why should we shell out more money when we have cheaper versions available in the market. That is exactly what I had thought before trying it and so did a couple of my friends but once we did try it the vast difference was visible in the first use itself. So through this review let me point out some of the differences I had come across while using this product.

Fuschia Crystal Rose Bath Salts

HiyA Lovelies, 


If you have seen my previous posts you might be aware that spa products and aromatherapy products have been ranked highly by me in the past and I am always on the hunt to try new products related to it. There is nothing better than a self pampering Sunday afternoon that I enjoy. I have tried a couple of bath salts and bath oils in the past but this is the first bath salt that I would actually be reviewing. As this is a handmade natural bath salt I was even more excited to share with you what I found out about this product.

Givenchy Noir Couture 4 in 1 Mascara - Black Satin

HiyA Lovelies, 



Would you be interested in a four-in-one mascara that creates intense volume, strong curl, infinite length and provides complete lash care? I knew you would be and that is why we will be reviewing today a fabulous mascara by Givenchy that gives us all these effects through one single masacara. During my latest trip to London I picked up one of the finest holiday set by Givenchy from Debenhams known as My Timeless Accessories Make-up Set. This set includes a Noir Couture 4-in-1 mascara in Black Satin shade and a mini Le Rouge lipstick in Rose Dressing shade. Today we will only be reviewing the mascara as I have to tell you ladies so much about it that I would have to review the lipstick another time.

Spoil Your Body - Sunless Tan Correcting Body Scrub

beauty

HiyA Lovelies, 




A Happy weekend as per me just means lots of self pampering and detoxing. Any self pampering or detoxing session is incomplete without a good scrub. Among all the types of scrubs I have tried in the past my most fave ones have always been sugar based scrubs. So when I came across this online store called Spoil Your Body which specialize in all natural sugar scrubs I was excited like a kid in a candy store. Looking at their selection of scrubs I got even more confused as to which one I wanted the most. Finally I settled for the Sunless Tan Correcting Body scrub after debating with myself. Turns out this was so good it became my new showstopper. Let's know a little in detail as to why am I so awestruck by this product.

MSM August 2015 Select Box - Let's Celebrate

beauty
HiyA Lovelies,



Its better to be late then never. This is the motto I have been living by lately. I literally cant even explain how many pending posts I am dealing with at the moment. One such post was of the August 2015 MSM Select box. I had received the box in the first week itself and have been enjoying these treats for the past few weeks now.
The theme for August MSM Select box is Let's Celebrate. This theme was selected keeping in mind the celebrations of the Independence day, having siblings (Rakshabandhan festival), Friendship's day. The way the MSM team wanted to celebrate these occasions was very interesting as well, they launched an offer wherein if you purchase products over Rs.2500/- or more from their website you would get Benefit products over Rs. 2500/- complimentary. I was delighted and placed an order immediately.
We will talk in detail about the Benefit products I did receive in this offer a bit later. Now lets focus on the amazing goodies I received in the August box.

Extra! Extra! Read all about it! Kama Ayurveda has launched yet another value for money soap in the market. None of us are new to the brand Kama Ayurveda. We all know them and their spectacular range of products that they have to offer. I have tried a couple of their products earlier and have loved and recommended most of them.

I had completely stopped using soaps for the last 5-6 years but this new kid on the block really did tempt me to reconsider. Now since I have been talking highly about this soap for so long must have got you really tempted so lets know this product a little more in detail.

beauty


HiyA Lovelies,




I am back again with another Fab Bag post and this time the theme for the month is Cast a Spell. Being a bit impatient that I am, I had already peeped into the profile of other people who had received their bags and that got me even more eager to receive my bag this month. On receiving the products I was uber happy as the products turned out to be much more fun then expected. The products involved in this month's bag helped make this theme even more magical. To support the theme the bag that we received also very fairy tale inspired. As you can see it is a pretty pink bag with texture on it. Now let's unravel the products I received in this bag.

Maybelline Baby Lips Spiced Up Vs Baby Lips Electro Pop

beauty


HiyA Lovelies,





I have been using Maybelline Baby Lips since their first version was introduced. In the due course of time I tried a couple of other lip balms but would keep going back to it. When the Baby Lips Electro pop was launched I thought of doing a review on it but being a slacker that I am it dint happen. So this time I was determined to do a review on the new Baby lips Spiced Up when it was launched. Finally I decided to make it a tad bit interesting by doing a post on the Baby Lips Spiced Up Vs Baby Lips Electro Pop so now here I am. Hope you like it.

Za True White Toner

HiyA Lovelies,



If you have seen my previous post on the Organic Harvest Green Cucumber Toner you would known it by now that I do not like toners that are too intense or have a strong alcohol content in them. This time I was on the hunt for a toner that would actually make a visible difference in my pore size but is not harsh on my skin. I had come across the Za True White Toner a couple of times earlier but on a friend's recommendation I finally picked it up. I have tried a couple of products from the brand Za and they all turned out to be good so I wasn't that skeptic. I have been using this product religiously for more than a month, so lets find out about my experience with this product.

MSM Select Box July 2015 - Monsoon Magic

beauty
HiyA Lovelies,


I have been hearing a lot about this new beauty and fashion box in town called as MSM box. So I decided to give this baby a try and boy I surely wasn't disappointed. MSM stands for My Style Mile and has one of the most cutest tagline stating 'A Lot in a Little'.
For my friends who aren't aware of MSM Box, its has two types of monthly subscription boxes for women MSM Select box and MSM Express box. There is a charge of Rs. 495/- per month for the MSM Express box and a charge of Rs. 995/- per month for the MSM Select Box. Excluding this they have lately introducted a MSM Diva Box that consists of only makeup products for all the makeup lovers, it retails at Rs. 1995/-. There is a grooming and fashion subscription box even for men called MSM Bulldawg which retails at Rs. 1595/-. Each month they have a unique theme and the boxes are curated as per the theme. This month's theme is Monsoon Magic. 
So now that we have got well acquainted with MSM moving on let's check the contents of this months Select Box.

Milani Baked Blush - Bella Rosa

beauty
HiyA Lovelies,


Lately, there have been only two blushes that I have grown absolutely fond of. The Chanel Joues Contraste Blush which I use as a daytime blush and the Milani Baked Blush Bella Rosa which I use as an evening wear blush. You can check out the review of the Chanel Joues Contraste Blush HERE. I like my evening wear blushes to be much more pigmented than my daytime blushes. While hunting online for a new evening wear blush I came across this blush and since I had heard a lot about Milani Blushes so I purchased this one as an experiment based on just its attractive color. So lets find out what did I learn about this blush in a span of little time that I have spent with it.

Current Favourite Summer/Spring Fragrance: Marc Jacobs Eau So Fresh

eau de toilette

HiyA Lovelies,



My preference of fragrance changes as per the season like most people. During the summer and spring I like wearing fragrances that are not too intense but rather prefer lighter crisp scents. Today, I will like to disclose one of my all time favorite summer/spring fragrance by Marc Jacobs.

Fact-O-Meter: Marc Jacobs Daisy has been a signature fragrance of the brand. Since its launch in 2007 it has been one of the best selling Marc Jacobs Fragrances. The Marc Jacobs Daisy fragrance later on included other fragrances in their line named Marc Jacobs Daisy Delight Eau de Toilette, Marc Jacobs Daisy Black Edition Eau de Parfum, Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Eau de Toilette, Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Sorbet and Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream Eau de Toilette. Among all the Marc Jacobs Daisy fragrances that I came across the Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Eau de Toilette stole my heart. This fragrance was launched in 2011 and I must say they have done a splendid job with it. Not only is the bottle of this fragrance mesmerizing as you can see in the pictures but the scent is equally.

June 2015 Fab Bag - Take Charge

beauty
HiyA Lovelies,


June is not yet over and I have already reviewed my June 2015 Fab Bag and since I mentioned it, you can see I am immensely happy about it. The products this time arrived in a smaller than usual bag which imposed a soft leather look and feel.
The theme for the June Fab Bag was Take Charge. The theme was a way to boost all the ladies out there to take charge of their wellness, career, relationships or passion. It's quite interesting that they have all these themes introduced every month and not once have they been repeated, isn't it?

Ciaté Complexion Collection - Butterscotch

beauty
HiyA Lovelies,


Nude nailpolishes are a must in any girls nail enamel collection. To think of it a whole collection being launched of nude shades by the famous Ciaté was like the icing on the cake. I always wanted to try the Ciaté collection and when I came across their Complexion Collection I knew I had to pick my perfect Nude nail color from this range itself. As expected Ciaté nail enamel turned out to be a total showstopper and won my heart. Let's dig in a little deeper as to how Ciaté nail enamels are worth the hype.

May 2015 Fab Bag - Sun, Sand and Sexy

beauty
HiyA Lovelies, 



Finally I have updated my May 2015 Fab Bag review and I know I maybe one of the last ones to do so. The May Fab Bags were dispatched awfully late this time and thus I got mine on the day before I left for my vacation. My followers on Instagram maybe aware of the fact that I had gone on a long vacation to Dubai and Abu Dhabi and so I was lacking behind on a lot of posts. For people who are interested to follow me on Instagram to get some information on my travelogue series can FOLLOW ME HERE.

So getting back on track the May edition was themed Sun, Sand and Sexy which was so apt considering the heat wave that was going on. The bag was blue and white sailor stripped and consisted of a lot of products that would help you cope up with the hot summer heat. Also, I was happy that we did not get the usual summer products like Sunscreen and facial mists. So let's have a look at the contents of my bag.

Aqualibrium Mud Mask by H2O+

beauty
HiyA Lovelies,


There have been frequent changes in weather lately that keeps affecting my skin. Whenever I have faced a similar situation in the past I tend to turn to my favourite mud mask which works wonders and calms my skin almost instantly.

The Aqualibrium Mud Mask by H2O+ has been my most favourite mud mask for a long time now. I have been using this product for off and on nearly 3 years now. Though upon application the mask makes me look like Smurfette cause its bright blue. However, with the results this product has provided me I would not even mind being one. So lets get to know this product a little more in detail.

Too Faced Liquified Long Wear Lipstick - Melted Berry

beauty
HiyA Lovelies, 


All my regular readers must be aware of my immense love for Matte lipsticks. So when a liquid matte lipstick was introduced by Too Faced it automatically went in my Wishlist. The unusual concept of a melted liquid lipstick really did create a talk in the market and all this excitement encouraged me even more to try it.

Organic Harvest Green Cucumber Toner

beauty
HiyA Lovelies, 

Toners usually have a lot of chemicals in them but a toner which is organic in nature seemed like the most apt reason for me to try it. Toners with high alcohol content can cause more harm to your skin than good. The high alcohol content tends to disrupt the natural balance of the skin. For more information on the same you can check out this lovely article by Daily Mail UK Here.

So now that you know some eye opening facts about toners and would like to opt for an organic toner than may I suggest the Organic Harvest Green Cucumber Toner. This would be the first time I have tried one of the Organic Harvest products. I have been using this toner for more than a month now and must say I am pretty impressed by this product. Let us see some of the reasons what got this product in my good books.

April Fab Bag 2015 - 9 to 9

beauty
HiyA Lovelies,


It is May already and sadly I couldn't review my April Fab Bag yet. However, I feel it doesn't matter when these good products are reviewed unless and until they are. The Fab Bag this month was an interesting zebra print bag, making it my first zebra print accessory. The bag included a mixture of hair care, body care, skin care and makeup. Even before I could start reviewing the products I knew I would end up liking them with all the variety in products.

Tom Ford Matte Lipstick - #05 Plum Lush

beauty
HiyA Lovelies, 


I would like to present to you the second beauty on my Wishlist *drumrolls* - Tom Ford Matte Lipsticks. These were released as part of the 2014 Holiday Collection. Being a Matte lover I immediately added them to my whishlist. 

The collection consists of 8 gorgeous shades: Pink Tease, Pussycat, Plum Lush, Flame, Ruby Rush, Velvet Cherry, First Time, and Black Dahlia. Six of the 8 shades are permanent addition to the Tom Ford Collection and only 2 came as a Limited Editions: First Time and Black Dhalia. The color that I instantaneously was smitten by was Plum Lush. I am sure if you see the swatches and clicks you would understand.

Chanel Joues Contraste Blush - #64 Pink Explosion (Limited Edition)

beauty
HiyA Lovelies, 


I know it has been ages since my last post so apologies about that. People following me on Instagram would know this by now that I was on a vacation and so couldn't upload much this month. 

Every blogger has a wishlist and so do I and London can be considered as every bloggers dream destination as I could get most of the products on my wishlist. One of them would be the Chanel Joues Contraste Blushes.

The Chanel blushes have been on my wishlist for a long time now but due to the availability issue couldn't get one sooner. The Chanel blushes were launched earlier with a baked formula in the Fall 2010 collection. The newer version of course differs in formula, it is non baked and has a powdery formula. Along with the difference in texture, the new pink explosion it is also a bit warmer and a bit deeper shade of pink with less obvious shimmer particles in it.

HiyA Lovelies,



I know you might be thinking that I am a bit too late to review the famous lip creams by NYX. I had been trying my best to lay my hands on one of the most raved about products but sadly they were out of stock for like forever in the market. Nevertheless, I finally found these creams but was a bit overcharged for them.

March Fab Bag 2015 - Makeup for Difference

beauty
HiyA Lovelies,



Lately, my Fab Bag subscription was over and Fab Bag did the most sweetest thing by sending me a 15% renewal discount coupon. Keeping in mind my long history of love for Fab Bag and their products I did renew my subscription. Turns out that all the make up products in the bag were natural so I am glad that I did make the right choice.
This month's theme #MakeADifference was inspired by international woman's day. Fab Bag has collaborated with Milaap.org for this month and would make a donation each time they receive a missed call or a message on www.fabbag.com/makeupfordifference.
