Add a little funk to your look- Lakme Colored Hair Extensions and Nail Art

I have had my share of adventures with hair color, (red, burgundy, light brown, chocolate brown, blue, I am not even kidding) so much so that I don’t have interest in colouring my hair anymore. I have fine hair which is very prone to damage and whenever and however I have colored it, it has resulted in my hair becoming lifeless. This monsoon Lakmé Salon has introduced two new services ‘Funky hair extensions’ and ‘Nail art’ to its existing menu. I was totally up for the idea of adding color to my hair without any potential damage.

These funky hair extensions made of real hair, are available at Lakmé Salons in three different colours- red, blue and purple and can be tonged, ironed or just left as it blends perfectly with the natural hair. I got a red extension, and it took like a minute to get it fixed with some strands of my hair. These extensions are plied to your hair and the process doesn’t take much time at all.

5 Awesome beauty/personal care products under INR100 (2$)

Call me crazy but I think shopping in a limited budget is fun in its own way. Here these are five random inexpensive products that I like. Hope you guys find some useful ideas here for economic and guilt free spending.

1. Lakme Rose Powder

INR 90 for 40g

After spending 750 bucks on powder foundation instead on a loose powder by mistake, I had asked you guys for suggestions. IK from Makeup Monologues( which btw is the most awesome beauty blog) had suggestion lakme or body shop loose powder , guess which one I went with.. the cheaper one. J But I so… love it, it’s a decent loose powder and has got sunscreens too.! And you get a lot of product for 90 Bucks. Lakme Rose powder comes in two shades one for fair complexion and one for wheatish complexion.

2. Himalaya Pure Hands herbal hand sanitizer

INR 39 for 50ml

I have recently joined the hand sanitizer craze and I think this is a simple but perfect one. Along with ensuring hand hygiene it also moisturises. Plus it has got natural ingredients.

3. Vaseline healthy white body skin whitening body milk

INR 65 for 100ml

I keep coming back to this moisturiser. I looove its fragnance which also reminds me of my hometown cuz I used to use this back then. It contains yogurt serum, vitamin B3, Triple sunscreen for fairer and healthy looking skin. Now I don’t know about the whitening claim but this is the most awesome and economic moisturiser.

4. Ponds white beauty daily spotless lightening cream

INR 49 for 15g

This isn’t exactly economic but you can buy this tube as a trial pack. I know a lot of people don’t like this that much but it works for me. It contains pro vitamin B3 and multiple UV protection. If you do like this cream, try to buy the sachets if you can find them, cuz they are wayyy more cheaper than the tube or the jar.

5. Himalaya Herbals Gentle Refreshing Toner

INR 70 for 100 ml

If you are like me and often wonder how necessary toners really are, why don’t you just by an inexpensive one. I recently read that you can skip the toner step unless you have oily skin. Oh well I am an oily so I cannot skip this step, so this is a great toner by Himalaya which promises to refresh the skin and keep it oil free. It is also alcohol free. Yay.

Have you used any of these products?

Aishwarya Rai and other bollywood celebs in old advertisements

I don't know why people hate Ash. I mean I am not crazy about her but I can't help but admire her. She is about to turn 38 for god's sake, and still she looks as gorgeous as ever. Anyway, I found her old advertisements that I am sharing with you, don't even remember watching them.
What about you, are you a fan or a hater??
