Works well with skin firming. Results visible in 2 months.
Shiseido
Being in my 30s and seeing my skin had started sagging, it was a little scary knowing that signs of aging were already setting in. I started using this cream and in 2 months I had started noticing how firmer my skin was getting. It was absolutely wor...
Shiseido Vital Perfection Supreme Cream 30ml
I started having acne scars recently and I was looking for a product with tranexemic acid. I came across this product. Started using it daily and by the end of 2 months I could see results. They did not completely fade out but the old spots are almos...
Foxtale 3% Tranexamic Acid Serum with Peptides & Niacinamide
If you are into herbal products and don't want to keep spending money frequently on salon treatments for the de-tanning, this is definitely a good product to try. Since I have brown skin I am very prone to tanning and it stays unless I try to correct...
Nature's Essence Lacto Tan Clear Detan Face Pack 50gm
Been using this product for the last 5 years and I know I will always keep going back to it. Having a combination skin type, gel based products have always worked well for me. It hydrates really well, lightens dark spots and soothes my skin so well. ...
White Lucent Brightening Gel Cream | Gel Moisturizer
One of the best products for exfoliation. Compared to the other similar options available in the market, this product from “Ordinary” is quite reasonably priced. Though I have very sensitive skin, the product works just fine. Results are clearly visi...
AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
This is a much lighter exfoliant than AHA/BHA. Amazing product that can be used anywhere on the body as well as on the scalp. I have really dry skin, so exfoliation is something I can't do without. I have been using this product since more than 6 mon...
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner
I have a sensitive combination skin, which means extremely oily T zone and extremely dry skin over the rest of my face. And I use makeup very often and this tends to make my skin even more dry causing small bumps. I was looking for an oil based cleanser which wouldn't require re-application and this product did the job. I use this oil based c...
DHC Deep Cleansing Oil 6.7oz + Travel 1oz
Why isn't this product popular?! This is something I ask my myself each time I apply it. Since I have very oily T zone I am not a fan of foundation or any heavy makeup but I do want a glow when I am stepping outside. And this is the perfect product f...
Waso SHIKULIME Color Control Oil-Free Moisturizer SPF 30
My search ended here. With combination skin it's always been tricky while looking for the right face wash. Something that wouldn't dry out the skin at the same time something that would tackle the oil. And that is exactly what this product does. It m...
INNISFREE Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam, Super Size, 300ml - Canadian Seller
This is relatively nice face wash for sensitive and combination skin type. Mild on the skin. I have been using this product since the last 8 months and I find the product calming to the skin. I haven't seen an visible glow on my skin, but that could ...
The Face Shop Rice Water Bright Foaming Wash 150ML
Amazing product! I have suffered from blackheads since I was a teen and I have always found salon visits for a face cleanup tiresome and most of the time even the salons aren't able to get rid of them. This is a product that handles any kind of black...
White BIORE Women's Blackhead Nose Pore Cleaning Strips Kao Japan 10pcs FULL BOX
LIP CARE
I honestly don't understand how this product has not gone viral. I live in a country where the temperature goes upto 55 degrees Celsius and the air is extremely dry. I have always suffered from chapped lips since I was a child so the one thing I alwa... rest of the day. It's meant for daily application and I don't apply it during the day since it's a little thick and lipstick colours wouldn't hold well with the lip balm as base layer. This is a must have for me!
Flexitol Lip Balm, Moisture Restore, 0.15oz
After a lot of trial and error, this is one lip balm I have bought for the second time in a row. I have suffered from chapped lips from the longest time I can remember and I have finally found a lip balm that I can wear under my lipstick and not look...

BOURJOIS PARIS Bourjois Rouge Velvet The Lipstick – 23 – Taupe ...
So this is No.24 from their lipstick line. This is a soft shade of dull pink ( on dark lips ). The best shade when you are going on a picnic or a bright sunny day. The lipstick line as such is moisturising, gives a good tint and lasts for about 6-8 h...
Shop Bourjois Rouge Velvet The Lipstick - 2.4 gms Online
My go to makeup. This is something that I wear to work everyday. Gives a light glow, light coverage on dark spots and gives skin room to breath. I ended up buying one in advance just in case L'Oréal decides to change the product 😁. I have tried a co...
Infallible 24h-fresh-wear-foundation-powder
Perfect to even out the tone and it gives good oil control. I end up using a face mask after applying this concealer on some days and I have noticed this product still hold well for 8 hours easily.
Maybelline Fit Me Liquid Concealer, Sand
WINTER WEAR FOR THE SUB ZERO
As someone who finds + 20 degrees a bit chilly, these are products which have been tested upto -20 degree Celsius and have still made me stay warm.
These work well indoors when you are in a cold country. As someone who don't prefer to mix up the socks worn outdoors and those worn indoors, these pair of socks is something I always carry when I am travelling to a country with sub zero temperatures...
HICODE Winter Thermal Woollen Socks, 3-Pack
So I bought the one in navy blue shade since it was a little more economical. The jacket can hold upto -24 degrees Celsius with just 2 base layers. It's a perfectly designed jacket. Multiple deep pockets, fur lined big hoodie, inner wool lining. It's...
Women's Mid-Length Warm Ski Jacket 100 - White
I used this single base layer for skiing at - 10 degrees along with my ski pants. Kept me really warm. Smooth on skin. I am 5'7" and it reaches just above my ankle. Definitely recommend it.
Women's Thermal Ski Tights BL 500 - Black
Reasonably priced and does its job! I wore this while skiing ( beginner slope) and it did so well. Kept me warm, protected from the wind and didn't obstruct my vision. It's not as fancy as the other options available out there, but it's really worth ...
WEDZE Adult Ski Fleece Balaclava, Black
The fleece material is soft on the skin and keeps you warm. It can comfortably cover the neck and can be pulled up to cover the nose. I use this when I want to avoid extra layers ( basically to avoid a shawl around the neck) . This product has been t...
ADULT SKI FLEECE NECK-WARMER - TANKA - BLACK | Decathlon
Yup! It's a men's footwear. I have pretty large feet and I honestly was out of options. The fact that I would have to wear 2 pairs of socks instead of one only made matters worse. So this was a footwear I ended up picking in a situation of dire need....
Men's warm and waterproof hiking boots, NH100 High - Black
For a person who can’t tolerate +10 degree Celsius, I was a little skeptical on getting winter wear for the extreme cold from M&S and I was surprised. These thermals stockings kept me comfortable. It doesn’t irritate the skin and best part ( something that everyone finds troublesome with stockings) is that they don’t slip down with movement. Stays in place and keeps you warm as promised.

Hair care
This product is one of the reasons why I want to go back to Japan. If I could buy every line in this brand I would! It really does what it promises!
Moist Diane Anti Frizz Keratin Shampoo 15.2oz
This one works. This product gave amazing results, which I realised once I stopped using it. Rosemary oil per se promotes hair growth but I haven't seen visible results with many brands until I started using this product. Love it!
