FACE MISTS THAT ARE TOTALLY WORTH YOUR MONEY

Image
It took me a minute to come around to face mists, which—let's be honest—may appear to be nothing much more than atomized H20 to many of you. In short, a total waste of time and money. But hear me out: the ones you’ll see here are brimming with skin-loving ingredients, calming Rosewater, and even water from the French Alps. Just ONE spritz on my just cleansed and bare face was enough to change my life (and skin) forever. How you ask? Well...it instantly makes me feel revived, comes to my rescue at work when all I want to do is a nap after lunch and cools, soothes and hydrates my complexion when I need a midday pick-me-up. Ahead, a bunch of facial mists that you are bound to love: 1. AVENE THERMAL SPRING WATER Think of it as water, but with supernatural powers. It’s packed with skin-softening silicates and has a balanced dose of Calcium and Magnesium that work together to improve skin's texture and strengthen its barrier. Plus, its pH level of 7.5, ma...

THE ULTIMATE MAKEUP GUIDE FOR SUNNY DAYS

Image
  Indian summer friendly beauty to keep your sparkling    Whether it’s a romantic getaway to watch the setting sun or a stylish brunch, the only way to end your outing looking like a sun goddess is by wearing makeup best suited for hot summer days. Of course, donning SPF infused makeup is a given but the trick is to choose beauty products that sit lightly on skin without streaking or melting. In fact, the thought of wearing a full face of makeup during unforgiving Indian summers is a daunting prospect, especially if you have combination or oily skin. Sweat, excess oil, high temperatures and humidity equals makeup meltdowns! The trick to keeping your overall look fresh is mastering the no-makeup look and selecting tinted moisturizer, lipstick and compact containing the all-important SPF. Here are some  tips on how you can combat the heat and stay fresh-faced throughout the day !   Sun protection comes first   Your sunscreen/sunblock is the sing...

    As the weather gets muggier by the day, we’re drawn to cool, crisp and fresh beauty picks. And let’s face it, what can be more refreshing and invigorating than cucumber and mint? While they’re great additions to a Caipiroska, imagine how these two super cooling ingredients will feel and smell against sun blasted skin.

Best enjoyed on a sweltering day, with—what else—an icy tumbler of Caipiroska.   1. Kara Cleaning & Hydrating Refreshing Wipes Aloe Vera & Mint Oil (10 Wipes) Face wipes are meant to remove dirt and grime on-the-go, right? But what if we told you that this beauty does all that but zips zits too? Peppermin...
