This new haircare range of Garnier is actually the counterpart of the Whole Blends range they have launched for the US and other countries. The Whole Blend range is quite raved about in the beauty world so I was super excited to try the Ultra Blends products. When they first came into the market I got this Royal Jelly and Lavender conditioner along with the oil-in-cream from the same range which I have already reviewed here on High On Gloss. This conditioner is said to reduce hair fall due to breakage. As…

What I Gifted Him On His Birthday?
I love gifts. I like receiving as well as giving gifts. Specially when it’s for someone close to heart, I try to go an extra mile to make his /her day special. We all do that, don’t we? Girls are really expert in that way. My hubby’s birthday falls on the 30th of December. Just about few days back we celebrated his 32nd birthday. My SIL suggested to have a full day celebration by planning some activities via some party planner, like she did for her husband’s birthday. I so wanted this, but, with a toddler in your arms, it’s not really good idea to plan whole day outdoor. So…

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-touch Sunblock SPF 50+ & PA+++ : Review
Guest Review by Sreeparna Ganguly I have photosensitive skin since childhood. Whenever my skin is exposed to the sunlight for more than five minutes my skin gets reddened and starts to sting like hell. Later the burning sensation subsides but the skin darkens. Sunscreens with SPF 30 or more with minimum PA++ are my necessity rather than a cosmetic cure. Over the years I have had trial and error sessions with many sunscreens in which I have found that majority of the creams that provide sun-protection are somehow or other comedogenic in nature. I had to reject many of them in the past just because they broke my facial skin…
