Glam Hair & Makeup | Amber
We all love revamping our looks
or getting a makeover just for a day too, right?
So here's my experience with Amber, Spa & Salon services at home! 
I wanted something really glam for a function I had to attend that evening
and the stylists from Amber helped me achieve it.
They were totally punctual and very professional.
I really wanted to do something different to my hair as I was a little bored with my curls,
so Rahul, the hair stylists recommended this style.
I wanted some volume and didnt want a hair-do that sat flat.
This one really worked.
I was up for bold makeup too,
so we went for purple eyes and not-so-dark mouth.
The products used for make-up were good quality. It would have been great if they had more options in lip colors to choose from though.
Also, I would have loved if they had a catalogue of looks and hair-dos for reference,
as not everyone knows what they exactly want.
But over all the experience was quite great.
Do tell me if you liked the final look and the outfit.

Acrygel Nail Extensions @ Jeane Claude Biguine
Do you love long nails? Then keep reading...
So recently I tried out this amazing AcryGel Nail extensions at Jean Claude Biguine .
And I fell in love with them!
So here's me writing about the AcryGel experience...
The amazing folks at JCB gave me a chance to try out this service they provide.
I visited their Powai Salon.
So here's a little more about AcryGel Nails if you don't already know it,
Acrygel is a combination of the acrylic and gel.
It’s method for adding extension & strength to your nails using acrylic and gel foundation.
It is quite long lasting and really impressive.
So how they go about it?
1.
The nail technician, the very adorable Sim, started with cleaning and trimming my nails.
I had long nails, but they were quite uneven as few of them had chipped off.
So this set the record straight. ;)
2.
After neatly trimming and buffing my nails, she went ahead to match my nails with extensions, she picked the exact match to the shape & size of my nails.
3.
We then decided onto the length that I would like to go ahead. I chose to keep them long but comfortable as well.
4.
Post gluing them, more buffing and trimming was carried out.
She recommended that I go ahead with the square shape and I am glad that I did.
I am quite liking it, till now I was mostly into round or almond shaped nails.
5.
And then she carefully filled in the nails with couple of gel products. Well you need some patience when they are working on your nails, it takes quite sometime to perfectly shape and fill the nails with the gel.
I was quite impressed with the outcome.
6.
And for the final finishing touch a little bit iof filing and buffing was done.
And my nails were long, strong and ready to be painted.
7.
Post that I went ahead with a natural pastel shade with some glitter ombre.
It goes well with any type of outfit.
The best thing about AcryGel Nail extensions is that even after a fortnight, my nails are intact, they haven't chipped at all. The nail art hasn't come off and it still looks fresh.
The slightest con to this is that you have to maintain the extensions by going for refills at regular intervals or have to take them off altogether.
This service is priced at Rs 3500.
Even though the initial cost is worth, but it's the maintenance that gets expensive.
Time taken: 2 hours.
Over all, yes I am totally crushing on them and I am gonna try and change the polish! :)
Do tell me if you would wanna to try them out too?

The Henna Diaries
Tattoos are such a rage all around the world, there are so many different kinds.
But in the entire craze, aren’t we forgetting the Henna Tattoo so deeply rooted in our culture? So here’s Craftsvilla celebrating the ageless beauty of Mehendi.
Join them and stand a chance to win Rs 1 Lakh.
Here’s how I am celebrating,
I have created 3 looks that go amazingly well with this Henna art form.
THE COCKTAIL LOOK
This evening look, with a plain saree and Victorian floral blouse is definitely glam.
The studded earrings and clutch complement the simplicity of the saree just too well.
Now let’s take this look up a notch!
One of these mehendi designs on your back, showing through that dreamy blouse, will totally make you stand out.
I would go for the peacock feather one if you ask me. What about you?
OFFICE ETHNICS
We are so lucky to have sarees and kurtis considered as formal wear, gives us so much scope to experiment. I totally think that this grayish white stand collar kurta is a corporate dresser’s dream. Makes such a strong statement! Now we style it up with some statement henna tattoo (mehendi), silver kolhapuris and blue crystals.
I think such geometric mehandidesign totally go for the work scenes.
CASUAL CHIC
You think mehendi isn’t for you because you are not a saree or a kurtikinda girl?
Well, you yougotta rethink. I believe some casual & modern designs in form of henna tattoo will work wonderfully with your laid back looks too.
For example, for this tropical bodycon dress paired with sneakers & glares, I will go for this super chic ying-yang design on my arm or ankle may be!
There are actually so many ways and designs to experiment for your casual outfits;
I am getting all excited just thinking about it. ;)
So if you try any one of these don’t forget to submit your Mehendi Moment on Craftsvilla.
We would love to check it out.
We would love to check it out.
Let’s keep our beautiful Mehendi culture alive…

Clean & Clear Oil--Free Moisturizer
You know how essential moisturizers are!
Even now in Mumbai the weather isn't chilly, but it definitely gets dry, leaving your skin dry too.
And here's what it is like...
WHAT IT CLAIMS TO DO FOR YOU?
Oil-free formula moisturizes without greasiness and does not clog pores. Salicylicacid helps prevent pimples &blackheadsand leaves your skin feeling clean and beautifully clear.
MY EXPERIENCE:
The moisturizer comes ina very portablecontainer whichis very easy to use & carry around. The dispenser doesn’t allow too much product to be squeezed out and hence is good in preventing leakage.
The content is a creamy white formula, in thick consistency.
It has a very mild fragrance, which works well for me, as I really don’t like strong scented day creams.
The cream spreads easily across the face & doesn't leave your skin oily & sticky after the application.
People with dry skin might think that this cream doesn't do much for them, as I felt in the beginning.
But after regular use, you will realize that it has been making a difference all along.
My skin had got smoother &more moisturized,also
the dryness around the corners of mouth and nose had disappeared.
And the best thing was even after applying a moisturizing day cream; my face wasn't sticky & shiny, which in turn prevented any breakouts too.
The only con in this is that it has no SPF, so unfortunately you have to add a layer of sunscreen too.
Other than that, I think this is a pretty amazing product. And I am definitely using it this winter!
And I would suggest, you try it too…
Price
Day Cream: Rs 50 for 50 ml
Rating : 3.5/5
Stay warm and moisturized ladies!

Why a Steam Iron for Winter?
If you hate wearing wrinkled and uneven clothes, say aye!
But I hate ironing too. :P
But that is something we have to do and can’t get out of doing it. Also I am afraid of giving my clothes out for laundry, have trust issues! So I just pull my socks and get down to ironing.
But now that we can wear warmer clothes, the part where we wear wrinkled free clothes get difficult. You guys might have noticed how ironing the thicker knits, fabrics and wool is tedious and time consuming.
Steam Iron comes for your rescue! The one that I just tried is from Maharaja Whiteline.
Why I love it ?
- Maharaja Whiteline AQUAO Steam Iron is an upgrade from the older electric irons. Efficient and convenient to use.
- For fabrics such as wool & knits, it will get the wrinkles out faster and easier. You just have to know what temperature to use and how much steam to use on each type of fabric to get the best results.
- It gets the job done quickly and hence saves time.
- Weirdly freshly ironed clothes with steam iron gave a nice warm feeling too. A plus in winter. ;)
- Also, chilled nights mean heavier & thicker beddings and duvets.
- You can keep them wrinkle free, without too much effort using this steam iron.
- I used it on my favourite white duvet, you guys might have seen it on my Instagram.
- Refresh your thick curtains with it, by gliding it up and down the panels, removing tough wrinkles and even improving dull colors as you clean.
Maharaja Whiteline AQUAO Steam Iron Features
Light weight and aesthetic design makes it comfortable to use. It has an extra large water tank which is easy to fill & easy to spray.
It has a great steam output as it has enough number of vents.
The narrow front design makes it possible for the iron to reach all the corners.
You can also iron vertically.
This steam iron is getting extremely convenient for winters!
I guess more than me, my mom is happy to discover this! ;)

Asus Zenpad 7.0 | Review
Hey sweethearts, how's 2016 treating you?
My year has started quite positively, like magic. ;)
So one of the good things is that I am collaborating with Asus, here's my review of Zenpad 7.0
I used it quite a lot, explored it and I loved it.
It is great for bloggers and also for girls like me who love editing photos, spending endless hours on Youtube and don't mind reading Kindle version of books every once in a while.
So let's dive in the details.
SPECIFICATIONS.
It has 17.7 cm (7) Super Bright IPS HD WXGA(1280 x 800), 216 Pixel per inch with ASUS Tru2Life technology display with ASUS Truvivid Full lamination technology.
The processor is Intel Atom x3-C3230 Quad Core Processor.
2 GB RAM and 16GB, 5GB ASUS Web Storage space for life; with an additional 11GB for 1st year, 100GB of Google Drive space for 2 years.
8 MP main camera with Auto Focus & 2 MP front cam.
So the above things make the tablet quite perfect for me.
Being a Fashion Blogger, I have to take on all kinds of tasks,
research, mails, photos, editing, social media... the list is almost endless.
And it is great to have this Zenpad which makes moving around and multi tasking quite smooth.
I love the editing tool that comes inbuilt with the Zenpad, especially the bokeh effect.
I am sure we all love that one.
And when I am not working you will find me binge watching on sitcoms and TV series or never ending string of Youtube videos. Now here come's the best feature of Zenpad 7.0, it's Audo Cover.
A DTS-HD Premium Sound speaker is built in to the CA71 ASUS Audio Cover, which snaps simply onto the rear of the device. It is perfect for enhancing the enjoyment of movies, YouTube videos and music. The single strip
speaker is six in one, incorporating four Main speakers, one Center and one Subwoofer and delivers sound in an upward direction, which I think is really super cool.
Also, even though I spend most my days in front of gadget screens,
I am not a big fan of blue light and the headaches & eye fatigue that follow.
Zenpad 7.0 has a Blue light filter feature.
It combats this by reducing the blue light emission by around 30% without disturbing the rest of the colour balance.
1. 8 hour battery life.
2. It can be further styled by adding the ASUS Zen Clutch or one of five different coloured ASUS Zen Cases.
3. Tru2Life is an intelligent feature that adjusts the brightness and contrast according to the activity you are doing, For example it will know whether a user is playing games, watching videos, looking at photos or even whether you are indoors or outdoors.
4. Blue light filter.
5. Audio Cover
6. 16GB storage.
7. Smart Remove camera features, which deletes moving objects such as passers-by from the background of your shot.
CONS:
1. It's a little on the heavier side.
2. The images from the shopping sites are sometimes a tad bit unclear.
But I think Asus Zenpad 7.0 is an amazing gadget to own, with so many features making blogger's life easier. ;)
It is priced at Rs Rs. 14,999 (With Audio Cover)
