April 1, 2019 nyxhit 79 Comments

Knock! Knock! Spring is here and it has got everything from neon makeup to floral scented body washes, and a lot of fresh products. Choose what’s real…Palmer’s!

But if you’re looking to work on your body and skin-care without breaking the bank. I have got a piece of good news – there are products waiting to hit your shelves this season.

Springtime resonates with spring cleaning and I know decluttering your home can bring stress and some skin issues. It’s time to multi-task and bring back baby-like skin with these 5 Palmer’s products that I can’t get enough of right now- and will inevitably be restocking them.

Ahead, see 5 products worth buying from Palmer’s that I have used them for a long time and I am still obsessed.

Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula Deep Conditioning Protein Pack
Palmer’s Olive Oil formula Deep Conditioner for frizzy hair

“Palmer’s Coconut Oil Deep Conditioning Protein Pack is an intensive moisturizing treatment to strengthen & repair dry, damaged hair. It is formulated with the blend of ultra-nourishing oils, including natural Coconut Oil, Tahitian Monoi Oil, Vitamin E, Keratin Protein, Silk Amino Acids & Coconut Milk. It does not contain Sulfates, Parabens, Phthalates or Mineral Oil.”

My dry and frizzy hair loves the consistency of this mask as it has such a nice thick concentrated nourishing formula. It has got a mild tropical smell that I absolutely love. I leave it for as long as possible to deep condition my hair. I apply the mask and finish most of my chores, perfect for a spring cleaning session too.

Have you read Palmer’s Olive Oil Formula Smoothing Shampoo and Leave-in Conditioner Review? Whaaaatttt….did you say no!!!! Please read it here.

Any tips? Cover your hair with plastic for a more intense treatment.

Palmer’s Coconut Oil Body Firming Sheet Mask

“Delivers a powerful dose of firming ingredients in a sheet sized mask to fit the body’s curves and contours. Crafted with Brazilian Guarana Extract, Capuaçu, and sustainable Coconut Oil. This potent ingredient blend helps improve microcirculation and skin texture, resulting in a firmer, toned and smoother appearance. 96% of women tested* found that their skin appeared firmer and more toned after incorporating this sheet mask into their daily skin care regime. The sheet mask delivery system allows for optimal penetration of ingredients and the excess product can be massaged into the target area for added hydration.”

Remember the sheet mask trend which was omnipresent for the past two years. No, it isn’t going anywhere but it has evolved from face to other parts of the body like arms and thighs. To be very honest, at first, I didn’t like the product as I found the sheet mask too small for my thighs and was very uncomfortable using it. But I thought I will give it a try and use it on my arms next time. After using it on my arms, I found my skin hydrated, toned and moisturized. I am not sure it improves microcirculation or not but I can attest that it can make your skin radiant and hydrated.

Give your skin some pamper by using it on your arms, thighs or stomach.

Any tips? Use it after using body scrub and massage. Like face masks, rub the extra lotion on your body.

Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Post-Natal Firming Lotion

“A powerful combination of Cocoa Butter, Collagen, Elastin, and Shea Butter that firms and tones whilst improving the skin’s elasticity. This unique formula is specifically designed to restore your body to its natural, original firmness even after pregnancy or weight loss. In addition Ginseng and Vitamin E help nourish and rejuvenate tired skin. Also contains Co-Enzyme Q10 which is an antioxidant that stimulates skin cells.”

Every time I come across a body firming product, I optimistically test that product. Who doesn’t want Victoria Secret model worthy bum and legs! Most of the time, I compare it with Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Post-Natal Firming Lotion. I have been using it since 2014 and it’s still my favorite. I have a tendency to gain and lose weight fast so it’s important for me to take care of my stomach and bum. Skin firming creams aren’t a skin fairy, they need to be used regularly with a good diet and exercise.

Need tips? Try to use it daily. Start using now to get ready for summer.

Palmer’s Coconut Oil Luminous Hydration Facial Oil

“Palmer’s Coconut Oil Luminous Hydration Facial Oil combines Fair Trade Extra Virgin Coconut Oil and 9 other pure precious oils to deeply boost hydration, replenishing and revitalizing skin to its most naturally dewy, radiant and healthy-looking state. Helps maintain skin’s optimal moisture level so skin is balanced and never greasy or overproducing oil to compensate for the dryness.”

A lot can happen during a year. A lot happened in 2018 travel-wise, I exhausted my travel bucket list. Even though I looked at it as an achievement, my body and skin suffered a lot. My skin didn’t like jet lag, long travels, and smoggy city air. I started using this hydration oil to replenish and revive my tired skin. Unlike other facial oils, this doesn’t sit on your face rather it is completely absorbed. I experienced natural dewy and healthy skin after using it daily for a week.

Any tip? Use 2-3 drops of oil and massage it gently with a jade roller.

Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Lip Balm

“Palmer’s Ultra Moisturizing Lip Balm with SPF 15 is a newly formulated oval shaped lip balm that contains cocoa butter and vitamin E to smooth and moisturize the lips. The inclusion of SPF 15 helps to protect the lips from sun damage.”

Available in: Original, Dark Chocolate Mint, and Dark Chocolate Cherry.

This is one product that I can’t live without. I have been using it for the past 5 years and I still have it in every corner of my house. It is not too glossy or slippery plus it has mild SPF. Even price is a winner when it comes to this product.

Any tip? Now…I am not going to give you any tip for a lip balm. (Wink)

Note: I have received some of these products for the purpose of reviewing. However, I have already repurchased some of the items as they worked wonders for me. All views and opinions expressed are honest and solely my own.

Palmer’s Olive Oil Formula Smoothing Shampoo and Leave-in Conditioner Review

November 12, 2017 nyxhit 59 Comments

Are you in pursuit of soft, smooth, shiny and frizz-free hair? Can Palmer’s Olive Oil Formula Smoothing shampoo and leave-in conditioner tame tangled and frizzy hair? Read my in-depth review.

“A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life. “- Coco Chanel.This is one quote that I strongly feel speaks my mind. I am obsessed with my hair – it’s my favorite jewelry. I keep changing my style so that I can take control and change the flow of my life.

I have chemically treated my hair, played with my hair length, coloring and used heat to make it straight or curly. But after moving to Dubai, my hair became unruly, frizzy and dry. My heartbeat slows down whenever I comb my hair. I am scared of HAIRFALL! I think my relationship with my hair is terribly personal as it brings my entire existence into focus. So, it is very important for me to take good care of my hair all the time. For over a fortnight now, I have been using Palmer’s Olive Oil Formula Hair Products with Jamaican Black Castor oil – Olive Oil Smoothing Shampoo and Olive Oil Leave-in Conditioner. I used it for a long time before writing this review so that I can be sure of what I say.

I just tried celeb hair dye trend, Balayage, to get that dreamy, lust-worthy and sun-kissed hair. I know…it sounds cheesy but I love my new hairstyle 😉

My relationship with Palmer’s is not all that different than relationships with people. It all started during my pregnancy when I started using their Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Lotion for stretch marks and then I used Palmer’s baby products. I love Palmer’s Prenatal, postnatal, and baby care products.

What is the company behind the revolutionary Palmer’s brand?

“E.T. Browne Drug Company is one of the longest standing proprietors of skin and hair care products in the United States. The company has been family owned since the middle of the nineteenth century and has been under the current ownership since 1971. E.T. Browne Drug Company has been headquartered in New Jersey for over 50 years. Under the current ownership, the revolutionary brand Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula was created and introduced to the world.” – Palmer’s

What is Palmer’s Olive Oil Formula Smoothing Shampoo?

Palmer’s Olive Oil Formula Smoothing Shampoo is enriched with a unique blend of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Hair Keratin Amino Acids, and Vitamin E.

Key Ingredients:

Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Olive oil has been used for centuries as a natural conditioner. It locks in moisture and preventing dryness of the scalp, it can make hair soft, smooth and shiny.

Vitamin E: It is an antioxidant that helps repair and build tissue. It helps reduce inflammation and repair damage to the follicles, and healthy follicles encourage hair growth.

Keratin: Keratin is the protein found naturally in hair strands, which gives hair its structure. It can help with hair thickness too.

Jamaican Black Castor Oil: It is rich in Omega-9 fatty acids that moisturize the scalp and prevent hair from drying out. It is an effective remedy to control hair fall.

My Thoughts:

Washing hair too frequently can result in a loss of natural oils that are required to hydrate and nourish. This shampoo instantly moisturizes, hydrate and nourish hair. It is light and has a citric fragrance which is not strong. I use it 2-3 times a week and it instantly revives my hair. If you wish to tame unruly and frizzy hair then this shampoo will not disappoint you. It instantly moisturizes your hair and makes it softer and smoother. This shampoo is not for you if you have fine/straight hair as it would be too moisturizing. But if you have thick and coarse hair which needs a kick of moisture then you’ll love this shampoo.

As far as packaging is concerned, it is quite sleek and simple but that’s what appeals me the most.

via GIPHY

What is Palmer’s Olive Oil Formula Strengthening Leave-In Conditioner?

Palmer’s® Olive Oil Formula® Leave-In Conditioner detangles strands, reduce fly-aways, tame frizz and it’s a lightweight spray. It gives an extra punch of Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Vitamin E, Keratin and Silk proteins. I use it daily to add shine and less frizz.

My Thoughts:

Where hast thou been? I’ll give thee a crown. This is one product that I strongly feel can easily enter in Top 10 Leave-in conditioners of 2017. ? As I told you, I have thick, dry and coarse hair that frizzes – it makes my life difficult. I would take time to get ready and most of the time I am in a rush so it is difficult to take out time and set hair. This lightweight spray helps control frizz and makes hair soft and manageable. I keep it in my bag so that whenever I see frizz I just spray and set my hair. I am going to stick to this product for long. This is a “BOMB”.

Special Note:

These products have no Sulfates, no Parabens, no Phthalates, no Mineral Oil, no Gluten and no Dyes. Also, Palmer’s is against animal testing so these are cruelty-free products.

Where can you find it?

Palmer’s Haircare Range is available in U.A.E in selected Boots Pharmacies: Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Mall, Al Barsha, Mirdif City Centre, Deira City Centre, Al Wahda Mall. Prices starting from AED 32

You can easily find Palmer’s products in mass merchandise stores, drug stores, beauty supply stores, supermarkets and online shopping websites.

Final Verdict:

Overall, Palmer’s Olive Oil Formula Smoothing Shampoo and Palmer’s Olive Oil Formula Leave-In Conditioner is a good product worth trying. However, it is not for people having fine and straight hair as it would be too moisturizing. It will definitely help you tame unruly and frizzy hair. My hair is definitely softer, smoother and shinier after using it. And the winning stroke is the price point – affordable and effective. I, highly recommend it to anyone who is tired of dealing with tangled and frizzy hair.

5 Back-to-school makeup kit essentials

August 21, 2017 nyxhit 62 Comments

Books? Check. Pen? Check. Lip Balm? Check. Find all the back-to-school beauty buys for your college essentials.

Want to look fresh and gorgeous for the school? Do you know your hallmark look? What are your Back-to-school makeup essentials?

In this era of Kim K, Jenner’s and Instagram feed, there is one look that every girl needs to understand it like a PRO: natural, easy, “no-makeup” makeup look. I’d consider it the look that you can wear to your school. A little concealer, sheer foundation, a powder to set, nude or pink lips- each and every day. Even if you are not total beauty addict, this article is for you.I thought it was about time to share some of the best Back-to-school hair and beauty products that every girl should take for a spin…

Mascara

A classic black mascara can make you look more awake and fresh. I am naturally blessed with long and thick eyelashes so a good mascara just adds some depth to it and Benefit They’re Real!! Lengthening and Volumizing Mascara delivers just this.

Eyeliner

Black eyeliner is a staple in my makeup bag. I can’t go out without an eyeliner or kohl in my bag, it’s the most important thing in my hallmark look. It’s just so trendy- and also, Indian. I like Kat Von D Tattoo liner or Maybelline which has got the blackest black color.

Eye Brow Pencil

Who need dragon brows? Just essential filling in of brows and perfecting the shape. Get two shade lighter color, if you have dark brows. Get two shades darker, if you have light brows. I still couldn’t find anything better than Anastasia Brow Wiz Pencil.

Foundation

I consider this one the most important – if not the most important – of all the makeup essentials. It is also the trickiest. Always look for a formula that is lightweight and easy to blend. I prefer L’oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte foundation it has a creamy and lightweight formula that blends like a dream. And affordable!

Lip color

Dry lips are rude. Always keep a tinted lip balm or nude/pink lip color to get a little color on your face.

Here are some DOs and DON’Ts:

Do:

Keep your makeup simple and subtle.
Light to medium coverage foundation will cover-up blemishes and dark circles. Find the perfect foundation.
Wear nude and pink lips to get that natural look. A good lip gloss in your makeup bag is a must.
Skin care is a key to get that healthy glow. Embrace your youthful glow.
Get a good mascara and eyeliner to define your eyes.

Don’t

Wear loud colors. For a school, extremely bold colors can be a bit distracting and a little over the top.

What are back-to-school makeup kit essentials the most important? Can you add some to the crazy list?

Learn how to get summer glow, here.

Lots of love

My Monthly Favorite Beauty Products- April

May 11, 2017 nyxhit 52 Comments

Hello Love, it’s monthly favorite time again. For someone who loves taking care of skin, I’ve never been into a skincare regimen. I used to wash my face, apply day/night cream and that’s it. But last month, I was introduced to double cleanse when I was researching about Korean skincare. The double cleanse starts out with an oil cleanser followed by a foaming cleanser. When it comes to face, oil cleansers are very essential to your cleansing routine as it takes out oil-based debris such as makeup, SPF and pollutants. It’s not really just a Korean Beauty secret. Sheet masks were also never a part of the routine. Recently, though, I became a convert. You can use sheet mask while watching your favorite show, reading a book, checking your social media – and afterward, you are left with the sense of accomplishment and a glow. So, without further ado, here is a crazy mix of products that were my favorites for the month of April.

Boots No7 Cleansing Oil

In April, I picked up the No 7 Beautiful skin cleansing oil – a luxurious lightweight oil that helps dry skin behave like normal skin for healthy looking, bright, beautiful skin. Oh! This beauty product instantly sold it to me with this description – especially as it has the words “beautiful”, “bright” and “healthy” in the description. I have used it for a month now and I can say that this product lived up to its expectation. The oil formula glides onto dry skin and after doing a massage for 1-2 minutes, rinse it off.

SKINFOOD Black Sugar Mask Wash Off

Holy Grail! Finally, I found an exfoliator that can deal with a devil on my face, blackheads. This scrub smells divine (Please don’t eat it!) and leaves your skin porcelain smooth and soft. If you haven’t read my review then read it here.

Sheet Mask

I am not living under the rock, I know how hyped sheet face masks are. Now, I know the hype is real. In case if you don’t know yet, I enjoy using sheet masks. One of my favorite sheet mask for this month was Tony Moly I’m Real sheet masks – fun, affordable, and effective. I find that after using sheet masks, skin becomes smooth which makes the makeup application easy.

Sephora waterproof eye makeup remover

I received this with my Sephora box. This is a lifesaver for me. It works amazingly with my waterproof mascara and liner. I never purchase makeup remover as I use makeup wipes or coconut oil but ever since I have used this I am hooked to it. This feels oily at first but it quickly fades. I remove my makeup in one swipe. Perfect!

Milani Baked Bronzer 06 – Golden

I was missing out something – Milani brand and baked bronzers. Milani baked bronzers are crafted on Italian terracotta tiles. This is a beautiful bronzer, it gives a perfect radiant look. It is a dark bronzer with a hint of copper and mahogany swirl. Go with the glow…stay golden!

Loreal Infallible Fixing mist

This new kid in the block isn’t easy to use. Loreal Infallible fixing mist claims to extend the wear of your makeup and prevent it from melting, fading and cracking. It has a ball bearing which shakes up the mixture before using. Shake the bottle before use or you might end up getting white hue on your face. Hold it around 20/25 cm away from the spray and spritz in an X & T motion. I am not sure if I like this spray or not. I might take some time to give my final verdict. Have you used this mist?

Victoria Secret Glossy Lip Oil – Coconut splash

Obsessed. I love this lip oil and it smells divine. I am so glad that I picked this up from Victoria Secret. I am impressed with the packaging of this product and the roll-on applicator. It keeps my lips healthy and moisturized. This little gem stays with me all the time.

What ere your favorite products for the month of April? Let me know in the comment section.

My Monthly Favorite Beauty Products – February

March 8, 2017 nyxhit 8 Comments

I loooooove winters in Dubai. Winters are mild here, it gives you enough opportunity to flaunt your favorite winter clothes. Fresh air, cool misty breeze, rain, and dark clouds make you yearn for more of these days. If you are planning to make a trip to Dubai then I would suggest you to come between November- March. Even though February is a short and relaxed month, nevertheless, this season I had a chance to buy, refill and empty few of my favorite products. In January, I had started a painting after years and this month I managed to complete it. I am planning to complete more of these in coming days as I truly believe in “Art Therapy”. February was all about finding the products that can make my dry skin – smooth, sculpted and hydrated. Here is a Crazy list of my Favorite beauty products for February – Month of love.

1-Jergens All Purpose Face Cream

I have tried several face creams but never got a cream that can make my dry skin hydrated and not oily. I look for a cream that is neither greasy nor dry. Jergens All Purpose Face Cream is rich and creamy without being oily. I use a pea size of this cream on my entire face and it gives me so hydrated and glowing skin. To be very honest, when I saw this product in Carrefour, I bought it only because of its packaging. No, its packaging is not extraordinary! What got my attention was the mid 70s-80s feel of the product. Have you ever tried a product because you liked its packaging?

2-Hask Charcoal with Citrus Oil Purifying Deep Conditioner

We generally associate coal with cleanliness and these days, you will find charcoal in everything-facewash, facemasks and, even, toothpaste. It is a new Coconut oil in beauty world. When I found Charcoal in a deep conditioner, I loved the idea. “Charcoal, derived from coconut shells, combined with citrus oil, absorbs impurities and helps restore hair to its natural radiance. We promise, the charcoal washes out!”- Hask Beauty. It made my thick wavy hair feel light and silky. I highly recommend this product to anyone who has thick and wavy hair, it removes all the buildup and impurities from the hair and restores natural shine.

3-L’oreal True Match Liquid Foundation

I loved my original L’oreal True Match foundation as it had medium consistency which made it extremely easy to apply with finger. At first, I just hated the new formula of L’oreal True match as it has a liquid consistency with some pigments. It stayed in the cabinet for a while until last month I decided to try it again. I applied it with Sigma flat kabuki (F80) brush and it gave that air-brush foundation look – smooth luminous skin. Now, it is my favorite foundation. I’m a happy bunny!

4-Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Concealer

This is one of my favorite concealers especially when I’m in rush or don’t want to wear too much makeup. It provides decent coverage and highlight without being messy. I find it necessary to set it with translucent powder though. I am on my third tube so you can guess my extent of obsession for this concealer plus highlighter.

5-ELF Cosmetics Daily Brush Cleaner

I recently bought this product online, I didn’t expect it to completely clean my brushes as it isn’t a shampoo but a mist spray. I loved the way it cleaned my eye makeup brushes after every use. Not a single pigment was left on the brush. I haven’t used it on my foundation brush as I don’t think so that it can deliver the same result on brushes that were used for cream based products. If you are sensitive to strong fragrance, then you might not want to purchase this product. It has a strong smell but it didn’t bother me much.

6-the Balm – Manizer Sisters Luminizer Collection

This palette is guilty of being gorgeous! I am obsessed with this palette. I use it so often that my love for this palette is clearly visible. It is on the list as in February I preferred a subtle look with a glowing skin. Trio acts as a highlighter, eyeshadow and even a blush sometimes so when I am in doubt, I just reach for this palette. Mary Lou-manizer is my favorite….

Look at my completed Madhubani painting

7 Most popular beauty vloggers on YouTube 2016

November 9, 2016 nyxhit 6 Comments

I have a very beautiful relationship with makeup and its application. Perhaps I am a self-professed, self-admired and self-taught makeup artist. From one shade of foundation to more than 25 shades of foundation for every skin tone is a long journey. Contouring, strobing and baking are not a beauty jargon any more. Makeup is still considered as a mask but these beauty vloggers proved that makeup is an art, passion and expression. But I have a love-hate relationship with YouTube beauty channels. I love watching YouTube videos as I have learned a lot of my makeup skills and discovered some great products. And I hate it as sometimes it makes you feel as though you can do heart surgery looking at YouTube videos!

Here are 7 beauty gurus on YouTube you should follow to get a dose of beauty with a charm.

Jaclyn Hill

I found Jaclyn Hill’s video by mistake but her connect with the audience won me over. She is one of the most influential YouTube vlogger with over 3 million YouTube subscribers and 2.6 million Instagram followers. Her collaboration with Becca was unapologetically popular – “Champagne Pop” highlighter had a record breaking sales on the day it was launched.

Kandee Johnson

I love Kandee Johnson! She is a great makeup artist and a YouTube star. She can make her look like anyone. And her latest Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton transformation is by far the best thing I have ever watched. Satisfaction to the core!

Wayne Goss

If you get lost in the dark makeup alleys, then follow this YouTube star. Wayne Goss is fresh like a breeze in the world of affiliates, collaboration and endorsement. He is unabashedly honest in his reviews and has some of the best makeup tutorials. Love him or Hate him but he is a YouTube star you can’t avoid.

Huda Kattan

Huda Kattan is a beauty giant and Middle East’s most revered makeup artist. She is a vlogger, makeup artist, and boasts of being one of the top beauty influencer on Instagram with 15.4 million followers. She has her own powerhouse of makeup line, Huda Beauty, with fluttery false lash strips and Lip contour pencils being the flagship of the brand.

Lisa Eldridge

Lisa Eldridge is a legend and watching her YouTube tutorials is like attending a Makeup masterclass. She has a beautiful British accent and I find it so attractive. “I approach make-up with the philosophy ‘wear what you like, when you like.’ There are no rules – if you want to wear red lipstick every day because it makes you feel good, do it!” – Lisa

Nikkie Tutorials

Anyone who follows Nikkie Tutorials knows that she is the one who made Nivea Post Shave balm famous as a primer. She is hugely popular, since 2008, now having a cool collaboration with Too Faced. She effortlessly brings out her adorable personality and makeup skills on videos.

Farah Dhukai

Do you want to try a natural skincare DIY then follow Farah Dhukai, queen of DIYs. From getting flawless skin to healthy hair, Farah has got a remedy. She and her husband created Farsali rose elixir as a solution to most of her skin concern. And everyone on Instagram is obsessing over it.

10 Minute Easy-Peasy Festive Makeup Look!

October 26, 2016 nyxhit 8 Comments

Hello Everyone! I wanted to (finally) share the makeup and saree,I wore on Karwachauth. I am always messed up wondering how to get ready and follow all the rituals of this festival. For those who are not familiar with this Indian festival, Karwachauth is a festival in which married women fast from sunrise to moonrise for the love of their husband. Think of it as Indian celebration of love and marriage. This is the only time of the year; I live without water and food. Yes, you read it right – without water and food. This is also the only day of the year when I wear traditional Indian saree and consider myself a makeup expert. I took only 10 minutes to create this easy peasy look.

This festival is super traditional so I wanted to wear heavy Banarsi saree (Mom, I love you so much for the gift) with a beautiful gold blouse. I also loved the real pearl necklace that was gifted by my Aunt (Bua) who pampers me with beautiful accessories and makeup suggestions.

My makeup was mostly traditional a very subtle rose gold eye look with pop of highlight to get that glowing look. I love this dark “vampy-ish” lip trend that has stormed the world. I completed the look with a red “bindi” and dark lip color.

Details of the product I used are mentioned below and I hope you all like this look! Let me know what you think about the look.

May 17, 2016 nyxhit

It doesn’t really matter whether you are a busy mom, working professional or a student, if you are busy as HELL, then these products will change your life forever. There are few products that should always be there in your MAKE UP pouch or your purse. There are times when you don’t have time to look yourself in the mirror and get ready. I still get no time to sit infront of the mirror and apply layers of foundation or conceal dark circles. So,no time for make up, no problem!

Just grab these 8 must have beauty products for busy women and enjoy!

1.BB cream

Beauty or Blemish Balm (BB) creams are the perfect combination of moisturizer, color corrector and also contains SPF as a protector. BB cream is neither like a layer of foundation nor a simple moisturizer. Tinted moisturizer hydrates your skin and gives a glowing result really quickly.

I swear by: Garnier BB cream. It comes with various options to choose from depending on your skin type and color. Dr Jart+ is also a good option if you want to indulge in high-end product.

2.3Es

Eyeliner, Eyelash and Eyebrows define your entire look and it doesn’t require much effort and time. Black eye pencil, mascara and eyebrow pencil should always find a place in your purse to get a 2 minute look anytime and anywhere.

I swear by: Maybelline Master Drama Kohl liner, L’oreal Voluminous Mascara and Anastasia Beverly Hills Eye Brow Wiz.

3.Tinted Lip Balm or Lip Color

Dry lips…Oh! That’s sounds so rude! You should always be equipped with a tinted lip balm in your make up pouch or purse. I also suggest keeping a nude or pink lip color with you always so that when you are at work and you don’t want to be outlandish you can use it.

I swear by: L’oreal and Nars

4.Moisturizer

Your hands and your legs should always be moisturized. I remember using moisturizer in the car most of the time as I used to forget using it at home in a rush. It is a life saver at times and cannot be ignored.

I swear by: Vaseline Intensive care spray moisturizer

5.Deodorant

Do I have to say anything about this one… JUST CARRY IT!

I swear by: Nivea protect & care

6.Dry Shampoo

If you are as busy as I am and have a thick wavy hair like mine, I am sure you cannot take a risk of washing your hair every morning as chances are high that you will surely get late. God Bless the guy who invented dry shampoo. Good dry shampoo will not only soak all oil from your hair but will also clean it without water, leaving your hair smell fresh. I was actually very nervous before using it as I wasn’t sure how safe it is for hair but now I keep it with me all the time. Even if your hair is clean, dry shampoo can add volume to your hair.

I swear by: Batiste Dry Shampoo

7.Moisturizing Wipes

There are times when we don’t have time to wash our face with a splash of water and indulge in our favorite skin care routine. In this case, the best option to get a refreshed face is the moisturizing wipes. For those who travel a lot for work these wipes are life saver as it just refreshes your face in one swipe. I keep one in my bag and one in my bathroom as it also works like a miracle when you are too tired to take your make up off before sleeping. (I know, it’s a crime but it happens with me most of the time.)

I swear by: Neutrogena Wipes

8.Face palette or Eye palette

Face palettes are the must have in your purse. Travel size face palettes that have blusher, bronzer and highlighter serves two important purpose: firstly, it is compact and secondly, it can also be used as eye shadows. It saves you from the hassle of keeping different blushes, highlighters, bronzer and eyeshadow in your bag. For my lovely friends who doesn’t like to wear powders on their face they can just carry lip and cheek tint. Who doesn’t like flushed, highlighted and sun-kissed face!

I swear by: the Balm The Manizer Sisters
