Swatches of Duochrome Nail Polish

 Taking inventory of your stuff is such a great way to stave off shopping urges. Trying to continue my No Buy till June. Fingers crossed.



Swatching shades from Stay Quirky Double Pleasure range. These are gorgeous duochromes & I have not seen a more complete shade range in a single series. I bought most of these on BOGO and purchased them for about INR 45 each. That's an amazing price point for such great nail paints.



All of these are multi coaters (which bums me out sometimes) but I love how these look on my nails. I wish I had picked up the entire range because now it's OOS 😭

Review of Kiya's Face Wash Powder

 I've been trying to use more natural products from some time now. I switched to cleansing grains (like besan, oatmeal etc) as my facewash in the mornings. I only have night cream on my face and I felt like using commercial face washes was stripping my skin of all moisture. Recently I came across this powder face wash from Kiya's. While I have used an assorted range of products to wash my face I had never used a powder face wash that foams up. Colour me intrigued!



🍀 This powder face wash from Kiya's comes in this cute glass bottle with a screw on cap. Packaging is on point and is convenient to use.


🍀 The face wash powder is finely milled & dissolves easily in a little amount of water. When rubbed it produces a foam which cleans the skin well without stripping the skin of it's natural moisture.


🍀 A little goes a long way and you barely need a pinch of product for each use. 



🍀 Ingredient list is made up of Rose petal powder, Rose extract, Corn starch, Glycerin and coconut based cleanser. 


🍀 I'm a sucker for nice smelling products and this one smells exactly like roses. It's refreshing to use in summers. It provides gentle cleansing and scrubbing effect. 



🍀 Kiya's products are Vegan, made using herbal extracts, cruelty free and contain No Sulphates, Parabens, Phthalates or Mineral oil. It's GMP certified and FDA approved to boot.

🍀 It's an Indian brand. Yay for Vocal for Local. 


🍀 A 15 gm bottle retails for INR 350. You can pick it up from kiyas.in

February 2024 Empties

 Restarting empties




Swiss Beauty Anti-ageing elixir serum

45 ml

How pretty is this glass bottle! The serum is lightweight & absorbs instantly. Perfect for my oily skin. Loved using this, feels luxurious. 

It's Skin YE Effector Sample

Don't really get the point of samples. What exactly are you supposed to gauge with such little product? Just trying to finish everything I own. 

Good Vibes Marula Facial Oil

Good Vibes is a mixed bag - some products are stellar, others are average and yet others are terrible. This is one of the good ones. I was using this on my under eye area & neck. And it did help in improving the texture on both areas. The fact that it's unscented is a bonus. 

MCaffeine Coffee Body Butter

25 gm

This was part of a set. The body butter is nice & I liked using it. However I don't know who had the idea of marrying coffee scent with a berry one. Smells offensive to me.
