Finally!!....all it took was a good product which delivered what it said to get me back to this blog after almost a year!
The temperature in bangalore has hit 36 degrees already! In my 6+ years of stay here, this is the first time I'm being hit by summer where previously non-existent thoughts like 'how am I going to be stepping out the next 2 months to get things done' have cropped up.
Needless to say, the skin & hair are taking a beating, with facial skin having this strange dry lacklustre look. So I went hunting for a good face pack which doesnt dry my skin further. I picked up Biotique's 'Bio Pistachio'. Priced at Rs. 199 it feels great on the skin, the pack doesnt dry up leaving your skin taut so you have the soft fresh feel after wash. From what I read(& feel), it can even be used daily if needed. I think I'm going to stick to this for a long time :)
Another 'cant do without' item finding place in my purse lately is the Maybelline Lip Balm. Priced at Rs. 99, with an SPF of 16 and available in 6 shades. I've tried the 'rose red' and 'cranberry jam' and loved both of them! The tints show up really well so at times I even give the lipstick a miss!
Another good skincare product that's stayed with me the last few months is the 'Olay Ultra Moisture body wash'(with shea butter). Priced at Rs.210 for a 354 ml bottle, its worked really well for my dry skin. And yes, I love its smell too! I have tried other body washes from Olay but this one works best for me.
After 3 satisfactory visits, I can now conclude that the salon Bodycraft in Indiranagar, Bangalore does a good job of haircuts. Havent tried anything else other than hairstyling & coloring, but I am happy with the result! Worth a try if you are looking for someplace that gives you a good look.
And while we are on the topic of beauty, I have to mention a fashion blog I recently came across that I'm drooling over -- Wendy's Lookbook. Wont say anything about this, I'll just let the blog do the talking!
One reason that led to this blog going dormant was that I used to find the weekly writing somewhat of a deterrent. At times I felt like I had nothing new to say over a week, at other times there were many good but assorted experiences. So for the sake of continuity, this blog will have as many regular offerings as I experience.
