August was a bit of a slower month, mainly considering life had gotten in the way more than once. Nevertheless, I still managed to conjure up some favorites after trying new products or old classics in my collection.
As much as it is a sin, I am constantly switching up my moisturizer
but I keep coming back to the Nivea line of creams and lotions. I think they are pretty much a South Asian
staple. I have tried expensive high end products ones with lavish claims but a trusty pot of Nivea never fails me. They work to moisturize my face without leaving it looking oily or agitated. The price is even better so I don’t feel
guilty about reuse. It’s extremely
gentle on the skin and the product isn’t too thick or heavy; eliminating any
chance of discomfort.
Price: $11.00
I am usually quite skeptical about color changing products
but this one is amazing. The product in
the tube is clear, similar to Vaseline but more beige. However, on the lips, after a few seconds, it
turns into a deep rose color. On
the other hand, it became a beautiful blush baby pink on my mother’s lips
considering she is fairer than I am.
Therefore, I do believe it does adjust according to your
natural lip color which makes it suitable for all skin tones. You don’t have to worry about looking too
washed out or too done up! It’s perfect
for on the go and I can imagine it complimenting very heavy full face makeup as
well as subtle natural looks.
P.S This smells exactly like gulab jamun.

Eyebrow: ELF Eyebrow Kit
It’s been far too long since I’ve had my eyebrows threaded,
meaning I’m dipping into my makeup stash for every eyebrow pencil, gel, or
powder that I can find. My favorite for
nearly 4 years now is one that I keep reaching for regardless of new
finds. The ELF Eyebrow Kit consists of
one dark colored gel for filling and a lighter, cool toned brow powder to
keep the brows in place.
In addition, it comes with a very useful eyebrow brush which doesn’t get
enough credit. I can even double it to
use for applying winged eyeliner. I find
you can go bold and daring, or soft and subtle so it is most definitely a ‘one
size fits all’ kind of product. Furthermore, with such a small price tag, I think the product is even more worth it. One brow kit lasts me over months before I even hit pan. With a product for the eyebrows, one which you are most likely to use on a daily basis, a lower price but no compromise on quality is difficult to find but achieved with this product.
Fashion: Levi’s Skinny Jeans
It is really difficult to find jeans which flatter my shape without being too figure hugging that it begins to cut into my blood
circulation. However, the Levi’s Skinny Jeans are ones that fit like a glove
and does not feel restricting. It is the
perfect length so I don't look even more petite than I already am and it doesn’t
flatten out the derriere despite being ‘skinny’ jeans. Despite the hefty price tag, you can find
discounted versions of these jeans on many websites, such as mandmdirect.com.
Favorite scent: Indian Night Jasmine by The Body Shop
Price: £8.50
This scent is a classic. Growing up, my grandmother would always
thread jasmine flowers on a string and clip them into my hair. I could never work out how to do it myself
but my hair would smell like that beautiful white flower for nights on end. This scent is nostalgic. I love how it has a muskier woody and spicy base
note. This makes it a lot more
elegant and sophisticated compared to pure jasmine so can be worn for
individuals of all ages and all occasions. I was hesitant to buy it considering when I first used it, nearly a few years ago, the packaging was more subdued but it is the same glorious smell nevertheless.
