La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo [+] is one product that everyone seems to be raving about. I have been using this for quite some time now and I thought of sharing my thoughts on it. 

There are few skincare products which can never get replaced, one such gem is  Avène Thermal Spring Water . I can never live without this! It comes in 2 variants 50 ml (Rs. 550) and 150ml (Rs. 1090) and available online on  nykaa .

It's no secret that I love face masques! I feel they instantly make a difference to the skin, so when I spotted  Caudalie's  newest release on  CultBeauty  I knew I'd need them.  Caudalie  has launched  four  facial masks :  Glycolic Peel Mask, Instant Detox Mask, Purifying Mask & Moisturizing Mask  all priced at  £22 for 75ml . I haven't really tried anything from the brand but I was always intrigued by the brand because  Sunny  recommends it highly. Now the 2 masks that I picked were - Instant Detox and Moisturizing.

Having less than perfect skin, my visits to dermatologists were very often. I was introduced to the idea of chemical peels and it was instant love. So when I came Omorovicza Copper Peel on CultBeauty   I knew I had to try it. It's priced at £48. 

If I end up with any skincare concern I reach out to Kiehl's. So when I was on a lookout for a serum, the SA recommended me to try out Kiehl's Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate . I have been using this serum for about 3 months now and here is what I think of the product.

Its been a while since I wrote a  post, and that's because I have zero concentration of late. No matter how hard I try to concentrate on something, I fail. But now I am trying to focus on things that make me happy (blogging does!) and hopefully will write more often than before.  I have purchased a few skincare and makeup stuff lately that I have been trying, so here's a post on whats new in my stash!

Anything that says natural  skincare gets all my attention. Few years back even before the blogging thing happened I tried the Kashmiri Saffron and Neem Delicalte Facial Cleanser  by the brand Forest Essentials  and was literally in love with it and must have purchased around 5 bottles.  But in between I got into trying different brands and this was kind of ignored and did not feature on my blog till date.

I hope you'll are having a fantastic weekend! I am just lazing around watching movies and sipping on hot chocolate! PERFECT kind of a weekend. 

Clinique Even Better Dark Spot Defense SPF 45 Applying sunscreen has to be the most important step in anyone's skincare routine, but was something that I had ignored. I know that UVA/UVB rays can really damage the skin and cause premature aging too, but again SPF's and I never got along that well. I either found them too thick, greasy, or they broke me out or they left a white cast  (so not appealing!). Then entered Clinique Even Better Dark Spot Defense SPF 45   and this was nothing like I tried before and was pure love!

I feel really happy when I get trial-size  samples to try, that way I feel I can be sure if its worth the price tag. I have done sample reviews in the past too, and thought I should do it again.

Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask I am OBSESSED with masks !! I slap them at least once a week and pamper my skin. The new  addition to my mask family is the  Origins Clear Improvement Mask  which was on my wish-list for a while now, so when I got hold of this I was extremely happy. The mask is priced at $25 for 100 ml and is available online (Haven't found a website yet that ships to India).

Weekly Favourites Hello People! How is weekend treating you'll? Mine has been a lazy one, watching GOT, checking blogs and listening to music and pampering stuff! I was going through my blog and realized that I haven't been posting often, so I have decided doing a post at least every alternate days. Let me start with things I have been loving this week!

Mario Badescu  was one brand I never knew it existed. There are a few blogs that recommend seriously amazing skincare, and one such blog is  Gh0stparties  by Kate. I picked this online  HERE  for INR 910 which I felt is a great deal because you get 236ml of product.

Face Masks Masks/masques play a vital role in my skincare. I use couple of them a week and have seen how my skin has transformed. I prefer clay masks because they absorb excess oil from my face and lift up impurities from the pores and considerably reducing the size of the pores.

Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel    Oskia  is one brand I recently came across and was intrigued to try out their best seller Renaissance Cleansing Gel . These had quite some rave reviews and I couldn't hold myself from buying this. Oskia is available online on  Cult Beauty  and is priced at £23.

Aesop Chamomile Concentrate Anti-Blemish Masque Its official by now that a mask/masque  is very important step in my skincare routine. After doing a lot of research, I picked Aesop Chamomile Concentrate Anti-Blemish Masque  from  Cult Beauty  for £33

Weekly Favourites Hello my loves! Do you'll get excited with new stuff? I really get very excited. I have been buying some skincare and I am really happy that they have really worked well on me. Today I decided to share my bunch of favourites this week.

One thing I was super excited about was Body Sorbets  by The Body Shop. So when these were launched I went straight up to the store to purchase it. According to the press release, there were 5 sorbets  - Pink Grapefruit, Mango, Strawberry, Satsuma and Moringa. The sorbet that I picked is Satsuma , these are priced at Rs. 795 . These are available  online  or in the stores.

Weekly Favourite Hello my loves! How has your weekend been? Mine was mostly with my cousins, and watching TV series etc. I have been testing a lot of products and I decided to share my weekly favourites  with you'll.
