My Top Five High Street Hair Products

by Mel Davies

I’ve been growing my hair for a good few years now, and it’s important to me that it’s kept in good condition – there’s no point growing my hair if the ends are so brittle that they end up snapping anyway! Although there are a couple of more expensive hair care brands I love (Bumble and Bumble I’m looking at you!), many of the products I use on a day-to-day basis can be found for low prices on the high street. These are the products I use almost daily to tame my mane.

Guest Post by Nika M

Hello beauties.

Today I have another review for you. We are going to talk about Maybelline Color Whispers. The other day I was in my local drugstore and I saw them. They were so cute and I absolutely love the packaging, so I just had to had them. First I ran towards the pink shades and swatched them, but then I decided to pick up the shade 430 Coral Ambition, since I own a LOT of pink shades of lipsticks (my popyticks are also pink :)).

The transition of the Saree in Bollywood

Guest Post by Anila

Indian women have always loved the saree and worn it with much pride and adoration. Bollywood is no less when it comes to flaunting the seven yard sartorial wonder which remains to be the pride of our nation. Ever since the first bollywood movie was made, women were shown wearing sarees . Since then, the saree has travelled a long way and undergone many changes in the way it was draped and the way the blouses were designed.

Skin and Hair Care Tips for Holi- Guest Post

by Oriflame India's Beauty Expert, Ms. Aakriti Kochar.

Holi is not the best time for one’s skin and hair. The dry "gulal" and colours are generally not derived from natural sources. They contain chemicals, shiny particles of mica and even lead, which not only irritate the skin, but collect on the scalp.

Follow these steps to ensure that you have a safe, fun and memorable Holi:

Apply a sunscreen and rich moisturiser like at least 20 minutes before going out to play with colours. Use a sunscreen of SPF 15 and above, such as Oriflame Sun Care Cream SPF 20. If your skin is prone to pigmented patches, select one with a higher SPF
Generously apply copious amounts of olive oil, coconut oil, almond oil or mustard oil on your face and body.
