my first dslr : nikon d5300

Happy New Year Everyone!

I am so excited to let you all know today that I got my first ever DSLR! It is the Nikon D5300 with 18-55mm Kit lens. I also purchased a 35mm prime lens along with the camera. I ordered it on January 1st 2015 and it reached my hands yesterday! I purchased it from Croma, Chennai!

I am both happy and nervous right now! As this is my first DSLR, I am yet to learn so many things! It has SO many options, of course! I am even thinking to attend some workshop to get to know it better! Any suggestions?

Maybelline Baby Lips Electro Pop Lip Balm Fierce N Tangy Review, Photos and FOTD

Hello Girls!

I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season. I just love everything about this season, the pretty lights, the Christmas and New Year decorations and undying spirit of people. But I hate one thing about this season. Yes it is the skin problem that tagd along like an uninvited guest at a wedding. I have dry skin and my lips are too sensitive to cold. They look like they are hibernating (chapped and lifeless).

Honestly, I have a thing for pretty lips and looking at my chapped lips my soul died a little inside. I was worried sick looking at them and I decided to do a little research on the new lip care products that were newly launched in the market. Thanks to Maybelline India page on instagram, they showcased their new electropop range. They are neon coloured lip balms with no tint. They are the improved version of Baby Lips Original. So after doing my research I finally gave in and decided to try it.

I was apprehensive about this product because nothing has ever worked wonders on my lips except the Burt Bee’s lip balm. A few days into using the product, I think it’s the time to review it!

Price : 135 INR for 3.5 gm

Being an ardent lover of the Baby Lips range from Maybelline, I can say they are super moisturizing and healing! They are an absolute hit among Indian women; I see them everywhere from shopping malls, department stores to even small shops. When they recently launched their new Electro Pop range, I just can’t wait to pick few!

Lately, I’ve also been struggling with my dry lips and that is when these two shades from the new Maybelline Electro Pop Baby Lips range reached my hands. I will be reviewing them today!

DIY Heat Protectant Hair Spray : Tutorial and Photos

before and after

Hi Girls!

I was gifted a hair tools range from my friends for my birthday (yay!). Since then I could not stop straightening and curling my hair. It has almost become a part of my hair routine. After a month or so I noticed my hair lacked that lustrous shine I used to have and I developed split ends! (sob sob).

Then I decided to ask my hair stylist what can I do to get my shine and healthy growth back without stopping the usage of my straightener and curler. She suggested me to use the heat protectant spray. I went to a store and bought a heat protectant spray that was way too costly and did not do a thing to protect my hair from the heat.

So I researched online and found out that heat protectant sprays are the products used to lock in the moisture of your hair and provide you with an extra buffer of moisturisation . And then I thought to myself there is no point wasting money on these salon formulations. I decided to make one myself and here is what I came up with!

Benefits, Do’s and Don’ts of Blog Commenting : Beauty Blogging Vol.3

dos and donts of blog commenting, beauty blogging vol.3

In my point of view – A beauty blogger knows the value of comments than any ‘other niche’ blogger does!! I admit that every blogger expects her/his post to pull reader comments, but beauty bloggers are always one step ahead!

We write posts, publish them, share them on social media and wait for the feedback! As we do a creative work, feedback is one of the most motivating things to continue our blogging journey without lags. Be it a swatch post or a skin care post or just a review on that newly launched product – we want our readers, fellow bloggers to read them and share their views on the comment section. This makes a beauty blogger happy, confident and motivated to write more posts with interest! A post with no comments doesn’t mean that the post is not-useful or not up-to-the-mark, but it just means the blogger is not socializing! IT is not really a bad thing however interacting with fellow bloggers and leaving your comments on other blogs makes you an influential blogger and tells the world you blog about what, how and where!

Today, I am sharing few do’s and don’ts of blog commenting. (Especially for beauty bloggers) These ideas not only apply to beauty bloggers, but every other blogger out there! However, as I only do beauty blogging (other than my food blog where I rarely hit the publish button) the tips will be much useful for new beauty bloggers out there!

I am starting with the Don’ts! : Few below are my very own experiences (call them, mistakes). I’ve however successfully rectified them over the years. (And still figuring out new better strategies on blog commenting)
