Beauty And The Blogger's Hollywood Night

Hello girls,

My today's blog is about the Hollywood Night, Beauty and the Blogger's red carpet event. So after a dirty and sweaty day due to the obstacle task, the beauties and the bloggers get a much deserved break in the form of this event where they get to doll up and party with Cyrus and Anusha.

So as expected the beauties being beauties looked stunning but not to be left behind were the bloggers who matched up well in terms of style and glamour with the beauties.

Also some of the beauties got the privilege to get their hair done by Daniel Bauer, Tresemme's hair expert. Daniel did a messy updo like Deepika Padukone and Jennifer Lawrence on one of the beauties, another got a high sophisticated updo and finally a romantic updo for the third model.

Anusha even rewarded one girl as the Lakme Best Dressed Model and two lucky girls won a Tresemme hamper for the best hairstyle.

So watch this video to know who wore what and tell me who was your favourite Beauty and The Blogger team?

Beauty And The Blogger : The Obstacle Course

Hello my lovelies,

Finally it's the weekend again. It's been quite a hectic yet interesting week full of events plus I shot some cool vlogs...lot's of celeb inspired videos which coming up soon on my Youtube channel, so stay tuned.

So I decided to catch up on where I'd left off on Beauty and the Blogger, India first web reality show pairing a model and a blogger.

So after the underwater task it's time for the obstacle course having 4 levels which tests the co-ordination and commitment of the model-blogger team towards each other.

Level 1 is a ramp walk where the tables turn and instead of the models, the bloggers have to walk the ramp but since it's an obstacle course, it's obviously not going to be without obstacles!

The next level requires the models to burst balloons tied to a rod with their mouth using a pin. They need to jump and perform this task seamlessly as the balloons are tied at a height.

Up next another task for the bloggers which requires them to squeeze through tyres of various sizes, the obstacle here being the smallest tyre sizes possible!

And finally the last level of the obstacle round requires the models to collect flags, sounds easy right, only it's in a pool of mud, then wash themselves clean and change into clean clothes, get gorgeous with make up et all and transform into a beauty again in 10 minutes!

So if all this sounds interesting to you and you want to see the beauties and bloggers go through the grind, here's the video, Enjoy!

For this luxurious event they had installed 'life size' Facebook walls with interesting posts like 'If Palladium were a woman, how would she dress?' , 'Define your personal style in this space.' 'If you had to revamp your shoe wardrobe, which ones would make it to your list?' etc.

And the invited mix of fashion/beauty bloggers, had to curate content by picking items from various luxury brands like Jimmy Choo, Diesel, Burberry, Steve Madden, Micheal Kors, Canali etc. which were at display. So cool right?

Check out the all the goodness we got to choose from...

Nail Care + Contest!!!

Hello girls,

As you all know, I keep trying out different nail arts and love experimenting with my nails. Because of this it had become very essential for me to follow a nail care regimen to keep my nails from breaking, chipping and getting discoloured. So today I’ll be sharing with you some self care measures that I use to keep my nails healthy.

• Protect your Nails - Our nails are very delicate and prone to injuries. So make sure you do not use them to perform tasks that will damage them. For instance, while cleaning utensils wear rubber gloves as the chemicals in the soap can cause great damage to your nails as well as hands. For toenails, make sure you wear shoes that have space for your toes to breathe and if you wear closed shoes most of the times then keep your nails short to avoid any friction and breakage. 
• Keep your Nails Hydrated - It is very essential to keep your nails without any nail polish from time to time as it allows your nails to breathe. Keeping polish on constantly can remove the natural moisture off your nails and make them look dull and discoloured.  I usually apply a polish and remove it in a week and then keep my nails bare for a few days before applying any other polish. If you do apply nail polish regularly make sure you apply one which is acetone free so that it doesn’t make your nails dry. You can also try applying moisturizing creams or petroleum jelly to make your nails look nice and shiny. And most importantly, drink plenty of water to keep your nails well hydrated. 
• Nutrition for Nails - Even your nails need nutrients to grow well. Try including food items that contain protein, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin D, and vitamin E and calcium in your daily diet to help nail growth. I try including apples, cucumbers, eggs, garlic, grapes, nuts, onions, soy, salmon, and whole grains in my day.
• Keep your Nails Clean - Make sure you keep your nails dry and clean at all times as wet nails tend to break easily. All you girls who love long nails should make sure you clean your nails well as dirt accumulated in the nails can increase the risk of infections. Wear clean socks to protect your toenails from any infections. Trim your nails regularly to avoid overgrown nails that tend to chip or break.

Following are the simple steps I take for my nail care :

• After taking a bath, I ensure to dry my nails completely, specially the inner corners.
• I apply a nourishing cuticle cream twice a week and clean it after 20 minutes.
• Buff my nails once a week to improve the blood circulation.
• Soak my nails in a solution of diluted vinegar once a week. Vinegar helps in making your cuticles soft. 
• Give myself a manicure and pedicure at home to thoroughly clean the nails once every 10 days.

Remember:

Don’t keep your nails covered with nail polish all the time. And if you do apply nail polish regularly invest in some good quality brands to ensure they don’t damage your nails.

And trust me; healthy nails look great, if well-groomed.

I hope these tips will help you all. Do let me know if you have any other tips for keeping your nails healthy in the comments section below; I’d love to know them.

How To Ramp Walk Courtesy Beauty And The Blogger

Hello my pretty ladies,

Hope you are having a good weekend. In an earlier blogpost I'd mentioned how I was hooked to this web-based reality show called Beauty and the Blogger, in case you missed it, you can read it here. It's the weekend and since I have time on my hands, I was catching up on the show.

What I really like is that besides showcasing fun tasks, it also has something to teach. I came across this episode which teaches you how to ramp walk. It features celebrated fashion choreographer, Norden Sherpa who teaches the contestants how to sizzle on the ramp. And since I'm a model myself, I found this video quite helpful, teaching about body language, posture, poise and most importantly how to make love to the camera!

There actually was a considerable change in the before and after ramp walks of the models. Check it out for yourself, I'm sharing the video link below.

So that's it from my end, stay connected with me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram! And for my vlogs, subscribe to my Youtube channel FOMO Fashion On My Own! XOXO

American Swan : Beauty And The Blogger

Hello all my lovelies, 

I recently came across this first of it's kind web-reality series called Beauty and the Blogger. It’s a very unique concept which got me hooked, let me tell you a little about it.

So this show has an amazing mix of glamour and social media wherein they have eight teams comprising of one model and one blogger each. The models have to be fun, interesting, adding the glamour quotient and have to enthusiastically do all the tasks spread over the span of 3 days whereas the bloggers have to make sure they make their models famous using all social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter or a Blog. So cool right?

So in the first 3 days the models perform all the tasks and at the end of three days, the bloggers go back and promote all these tasks on social media. And the team with the largest number of views in addition to the scores they get for their performance in the tasks will win the show!

The Models have Anusha Dandekar while the bloggers have Miss Malini  as their mentors. Anusha as we all know is a fashion icon for so many people and Miss Malini who is a star blogger herself , I feel are the perfect choices for mentors.

The concept is brilliant and I’d give it a big thumbs up for just merging these two very different but interlinked lifestyles. Its fun to watch and the best part is since it's a web series you can watch it anytime. 

So you’ll be seeing quite a lot about it on my Facebook, Twitter and Blog posts. Do watch it and tell me what you think of it in the comments below. XOXO

P.S. Here's the video if you plan to get started on it :)

Lakme 9 to 5 Super Sunscreen Review

Hello my beautiful girls,

I've always said that using a good sunscreen in this scorching heat is a must! Recently I got the Lakme 9 to 5 Super Sunscreen to review and as you know in my Skin Care Routine I mentioned that I was looking for a good sunscreen so I thought of trying it out. If haven't already seen it, check it out here..

I’ve used a few Lakme 9 to 5 products and they have been good so far and thus I didn't have any apprehensions trying the Sunscreen.

The Lakme 9 to 5 Super Sunscreen comes in two variants – Hydrating Sunscreen for normal/dry skin and Mattifying Sunscreen for oily skin. It contains SPF 50 which gives your skin optimum protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Starting with the Hydrating Sunscreen, even though I have oily skin it worked rather well. It has a liquid like consistency, and is white in colour. It glides on very easily and does not leave white patches; this is something I love about the product as all the other sunscreens I’ve tried make my skin look patchy. Since its SPF 50 it gives good protection against the sun and doesn't feel greasy at all. I applied it in the morning but by late afternoon I had to re-apply it as I was still going to be out in the sun. The good part about this sunscreen is that it is very lightweight and I can easily wear it under my makeup without it looking cakey.

The Mattifying Sunscreen is a little thicker in consistency and non-sticky. The face looks a little white as soon as you apply it but in a few minutes it settles down. Otherwise it works just like the Hydrating Sunscreen. If you have really oily skin, this is the product I’d highly recommend. It stays true to its name and keeps your face matte for at least a couple of hours.

The packing is quite simple they both come in a pinkish bottle with a golden cap and a pump dispenser. They are easy to carry around and do not leak.

A major problem with this product is its pricing; a 30ml bottle costs you Rs. 500 which is quite expensive in comparison to other brands. And since you need to re-apply it every few hours, it will get over much sooner.

In all it is a good product if you are the kind of person who prefers quality over quantity and now that I've used it for a while I find it much better than my earlier sunscreen in terms of protection from tanning and sunburn. It also gives your skin a nice even tone, which is perfect for the days you want to go out without any makeup.

So this is it from my side, do let me know if you have tried the product and what do you think of it in the comments section below. Also subscribe to my YouTube channel, FOMO Fashion On My Own for many of my makeup and hairstyle videos.

XOXO

Za True White Cleansing Foam Review

Hi guys,

I've got this product to review called Za True White Cleansing foam. Za has just made its entry into India and since it is a sub brand of the cosmetic giant Shiseido I was quite keen to try on this product.

Alternatively, if you do not like reading, you can watch the review here :

I've been using this cleanser for 15 days now and I quite like it. It is white in colour, cream-like in consistency and it has tiny orange Vitamin C granules. Fragrance wise it is very subtle, nothing fancy which is fine by me as long as it does the job. The cleanser lathers really well and a small pea-sized amount is sufficient for the entire face. The after-wash feel is amazing. It left my skin feeling clean, soft and moisturized getting rid of any oiliness thanks to the key SPA ingredients like natural spring water from the foothills of Tuscany, Italy and white lily extract. Sounds exotic, right?

In terms of whitening, that wasn't really my reason for trying the product but I did find my skin more brighter and clearer with every passing day and touch wood I haven’t had any negative reactions like breakouts or irritation.

Another thing it claims is that it removes light makeup but I didn't try that as I prefer using a make-up remover for the same.

Packaging wise it’s simple and classy, in a white tube with a flip top cap.

In terms of pricing, it’s on the moderate side. A 100 ml tube is priced at Rs. 349.

Overall I really liked the product. It works really well with oily as well as dry skin it tends to remove excess oil from the skin and still not make the skin feel tight.

If you guys have tried this product let me know your experience with it in the comments section below.

FOMO : Great Indian Remedies : Ubtan

Hello my lovely ladies, I’d like to start off by apologizing about the long absence on the blog. Really sorry, been caught up with too many things but I promise to keep it updated from now on.

In my Skin Care Routine video I’d mentioned that I use Ubtan, a home remedy for exfoliation and a lot of you requested me to share the recipe, so here it is....

Ubtan is a mixture of natural ingredients that removes the excess dirt and gives you a flawless skin. I've been using it for a while and so it comes highly recommended. I like to apply it once a month on my face and neck but if you have time you can also apply it on your entire body. The quantity of my recipe is just enough for the face and neck so if you want to apply it on your body you will have to increase the measurements of the ingredients accordingly.

Ingredients: 

So firstly take 1 ½ - 2 tablespoons of Besan (gram/chickpea flour),

Add a pinch of Haldi (turmeric) in it (make sure you do not use too much Haldi as it will make your skin yellow),

Add 2 teaspoons of fresh Malai (cream) and not the tetra pack that you get at stores,

Add a little bit of Milk to blend the ingredients and make a thick paste,

Lastly add 2 – 3 drops of Lime

Benefits:

Now before applying I’m sure you guys would want to know more about the beneficial properties of each of these ingredients so here goes:

Besan helps in exfoliation and lightening the skin, Haldi again helps in lightening the skin, Malai is an excellent source of adding natural moisture to the skin , Milk makes the skin soft and smooth, and Lemon as we all know is a great cleanser, it lightens the skin and also helps in reducing the strong smell of the other ingredients.  I once made the ubtan without Lemon and trust me the smell was just intolerable.

Method:

Once you've made a thick paste, wash your face and neck area nicely and pat it dry before applying it. Once applied, leave it till it dries completely which should take around 10-15 minutes. Do not apply this on your eyebrows as lemon is considered to fade the color of your hair and you surely don’t want grey eyebrows :p

Once it has dried, with the help of your fingers, rub the mixture in circular motion to remove it off and then wash your face with luke warm water.

To finish off, rub a cube of ice on your entire face once as it helps to close the pores. Pat it dry and you should be able to see a difference in your skin immediately.

If you have oily skin, you might feel the need to use a facewash as Malai tends to make your skin more oily but if you aren't heading out that day, avoid using a facewash or atleast avoid for a couple of hours.

So girls that was my Ubtan recipe, I hope you find it helpful,  do let me know in the comments section how it turns out and do share with me any other methods or products that you girls follow for exfoliation, I’d love to know.  Before signing off just a request, please subscribe to FOMO Fashion On My Own.

7 Tips for Keeping Your Makeup Fresh During Summer

Hello girls,

Isn’t this heat making you crazy? I just don’t feel like getting out of my house anymore. Even applying makeup feels like a task as you need to make sure you touch it up every few hours as it tends to melt in this season.

Today I’m going to share with you some simple tips which I follow that can come handy during summer.

1. FOUNDATION

Apply foundation only where you need it and if you can, skip it altogether! Especially in the summer, do not over-apply. If you must wear foundation then switch to a light, oil-free foundation or mineral foundation.

2. PRIMER

If you are someone who likes to apply full makeup, then a primer is your best friend as this product is designed to prep your face for makeup. It helps keep your color vibrant and prevent the make up from sliding or creasing. I feel a primer must be applied every time you put on any kind of make up so that you do not have to worry about the touch ups.

3. WATER SPRAY

A water spray has been an age old method of keeping your makeup fresh in the heat. So if your makeup tends to fade very quickly in the hot weather, carry one of these little sprays in your bag, trust me, it’ll make you feel fresh and presentable at any hour of the day.

4. BLOTTING PAPERS

Blotting paper is a really handy tool in hot weather. Using pressed powder every time your skin shines can be quite a hassle. Whereas using a blotting paper makes more sense as it will just soak up the oil and make you look fresh without looking too powdered.

5. WATERPROOF MASCARA

Waterproof mascara is a total must have in hot weather. This is helpful as when you wash your face or use water spray you don't want mascara streaking your face. To avoid such a situation the waterproof mascara works best.

6. LIP GLOSS

Switch your favourite lipsticks with lip gloss in summer. These are much lighter, softer and can be easily reapplied if necessary and they also look better in the heat and sun, when lipsticks can just seem too ´heavy´. You can also try some tinted gloss to add some nice colour to your lips.

7. MINIMISE

The easiest way to avoid problems with makeup in this season is to minimize what you use. That’s what I go for. The lesser you apply the lesser is the chance of it getting smudged or spoilt. 

So girls, make your summer routine a simple one, probably just a tinted moisturizer or face shimmer to give your skin a nice and fresh glow.

Just remember to keep it light and simple. I hope these tips have helped you. Do let me know if you have any other ways of looking fresh in this terrible heat in the comments section below. I'd love to know :)Till then, happy summer from FOMO Fashion On My Own
