Mei Alia Bhatt banna chahti hoon, well at least for this makeup tutorial! I loved Alia Bhatt's Star Guild Awards 2015 look. In case you can't recall, the image below may just help you guys :) 

So while Alia received a lot of appreciation for her royal blue Prabal Gurung gown and the sleek middle parted hair, for me her makeup for a winner! The nude and oh-so-perfect makeup transformed the cutesy girl-next-door to a uber glam diva. It's a look that can be worn to any brunch, a day time event or simply when you want to tone down a sequin dress at a party! Well my YouTube video will give you a breakdown of her makeup, do take a look at it below.

Putting your best foot forward is much easier when it’s professionally pedicured! The NEW Scholl Express Pedi gives one effortless feet within 5 minutes. Read my super quick review that will help you extend your beauty routine all the way to your toes. 

Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Electronic Foot File is an electronic foot file that removes hard skin on the foot very effectively. The device is ergonomically shaped and features 2 x AA batteries which last really long.  I have really enjoyed using Scholl Express Pedi. The foot file exfoliates the foot through a gentle and safe rotating action. It is really interesting to see how dead skin begins to chip off with single application. 

This is by far the most effective tool I have ever used to relieve unsightly, cracked feet. I've used it on dry areas of my feet such as under the big toe and on the heel and it effectively removed most of the dry skin on the surface. I would recommend that you do not use the foot file on the same area for more than 10 seconds as this can make your skin a little more sensitive. It is so much easier and quicker than using ordinary foot files. Once you are done exfoliating your skin, you can wash your feet and apply the skin repairing cream. The foot and nail cream has a thick consistency and hydrates dry, hard skin. It also conditions toe nails and protects your feet from cracking. I end my at-home-quick-pedi routine by slipping into a pair of socks! 

I would recommend this product to everyone and will definitely keep using Scholl Express Pedi in the future! My final rating for this product will be 4/5 stars because of the price. It's available for INR 2,850 and apart from that everything else is top quality!!!

Great designers take things and art slowly to their stride. A handcrafted product, lovingly produced by a master has distinction, individuality and soul- all essential to a feeling of personal luxury. I realized what ace craftsmanship really meant when I met fashion designer, Mr. Pawan Sachdeva.

While he says men in India are experimenting with fashion, color cues generally take the front seat. he recommends colours like blue, cobalt, black, grey for a more classy look. Pawan's eye for details and unconventional designs in men accessories have emerged as a fashion industry force to be reckoned with. From artful use of colours in pocket squares to royal head gears and well tailor suits, he takes conventional dresses and makes them stand out. 

On being asked about design imaginations VS sales, he quips, "selling is as important as design. I do things for my stratification but I can't isolate masses and demands of the clients." According to him, when it comes to most stylish markets in the country, Delhi tops the list followed by Punjab!

His new collection boasts of the Renaissance period and takes hints from period of Elizabeth times, tales of Shakespeare. What really stands out in the collection is the use of Indian handlooms- cottins, cambrics, laces and silks. 

This ode to the woman who belonged to the classic era included a wardrobe of A line dresses, raised torso line, bolero jackets, kalidaar dresses, puff sleeves, curvaceous silhouettes and more. There is a lushness to his new collection that is at the same time totally wearable. 

Label Pawan Sachdeva for men is built on tailoring, for a woman's wardrobe his designs are more nuanced, however elegant. For the upcoming wedding season, he says, "men should opt for fusion wear and western cuts for a richer look. Less embellishment and more of intricate embroidery should be preferred." He adds, "women must give importance to the fabrics and experiment with colours for their big day." Unlike many designers, he is incredibly humble about what he has achieved. 

We ended our chat with some very inspiring words from Pawan, "fashion isn't about copying someone one. It's about being comfortable and when you are comfortable with your self, you possess confidence that ultimately makes you look fashionable."

You all know how much I loooovvvvveeeeee looking after my hair! This winters, I have been using Head and Shoulders nourishing winter care shampoo and I have left using a hair conditioner. Did I just say that, well yes, I did :) Read my take on this shampoo and yes, you too can win a cute gift box for yourself in this post.

This is a bottle that provides nourishment to your exploited hair strands! Exploited in my case because my hair and scalp has been exposed to a lot of heat treatments and the nourishing winter care shampoo has been a blessing. The anti dandruff shampoo keeps dandruff at bay and ensures that the scalp is clean. I love the fragrance and after effect of the shampoo on my hair. Even if I don't use a conditioner the hair remains soft and shiny! It controls the winter frizz and keeps the hair oil free. With a thick consistency it lathers well. The winter care variant comes with a smart seal technology and H&S microzinc formula that works on contact to nourish scalp and hair. Overall the shampoo gets a big thumbs from me for loving my hair!

Most of you already know about the look that I was wearing on the Valentines, courtesy my makeup tutorial video here! Today, on the blog I am going to review the gorgeous bottle from Za that actually helped me achieve the perfect base for my makeup and yes, I am happy with the bottle as much as I have been happy with a MAC foundation all my life. Continue to read my full review & makeup breakdown...

QUICK REVIEW: Za True White Liquid Foundation is a beautiful bottle, priced at Rs. 950. The bottle is adorable and gives you about 30 ml of pure foundation that comes out from a nozzle. The foundation is available in 6 shades. It's colour is slightly lighter than my skin-tone but has undertones of yellow in it which actually illuminates the face with a right hint! While I still use a primer and moisturizer before applying any base colour on my face, this foundation spreads really very well on the skin. It gives you an overall dewy and clear look. The formula is pretty hydrating and it lasts for about 6+ hours straight. Packed with SPF 25+ the poreless foundation creates pearly white skin. It contains Vitamins C & E derivatives which leaves the skin feeling satiny and smooth.

FINAL VERDICT: Priced at Rs.950, the bottle gives a radiant finish and can be settled well with a Compaq to achieve a perfect look! Because of it's long staying power and illumination, I am going to buy it again :)

Oh and yes, before I sign off here is the makeup look breakdown (incase you missed) from my YouTube channel. I have used Za True White Liquid Foundation to achieve the perfect base.

Every once in a while I really hope that time should pause so that I can appreciate some moments like they deserve to be appreciated! I am not saying that I forget to count my blessings, but sometimes all I want to do is to take things slowly. Will you believe me if I told you that I visited Dilli Haat for the first time in all these (seven) years living in Delhi? Yes, that happened and I enjoyed every moment of my trip! Here's my photo diary that encapsulates a timeless experience with my new watch from Emporio Armani, Fossil.

It's that time of the year when we all fall in love with the idea of love! While some celebrate the much awaited valentines week, others (like me) just find reasons to eat more cake, donuts, cupcakes and chocolates. Being a blogger, I had to do something special for all you guys on the blog and here I am with a new video that will help you create a flattering and chic hairstyle that you can easily wear on a date!

Flattering half up-do with soft curls, that's what I call this hairstyle is something that you can wear with a cute dress or a sexy LBD this valentines! What I love about this hairdo is that you don't need any accessory or jewelry to this, a simple pair of studs and a nice dress will do the trick. The hairstyle will take some time (if you have long hair) as curling is an art, so spend some good amount of time and get the perfect curls! Watch my step by step hairstyle tutorial now in the video below-

I hope you guys like the video after all I should feel lao'd this Valentines too ;). Stay tuned for my Valentines series as I have a giveaway coming up in my next video.
