Beauty & makeup products attracted a rate of 28% under GST.  That’s kind of sad, but at least daily essential stuff is cheaper. That’s a good news. No, I am not going to bore you with GST & it’s effects on our life. I know there are experts out there which will pour more insight on the same. Coming back to my area of interest, a month has passed since I last did an empty post so it’s the time to get together all the empties of the last month. Surprisingly, this month, it’s mostly hair care stuff that I have managed to finish off completely. Have a look…   I have been using Aloe Vera – Lemon DIY Serum during most of the nights, but when I feel lazy to open my refrigerator and take out the potion, I use Garnier White complete Night Cream.  This is a nice Vitamin C based night cream suits my oily skin without making it oily or breaking it out. It helps to brighten skin tone & fade away scars with regular use. Himalaya Clear Complexion Whitening Face Wash is a decent face wash which is non drying & brightening in nature. It contains Licorice & White Dammer which are clinically proven to enhance complexion with regular use. I use it once a day, it cleanses skin well without drying it out. Buy here. I got Blue Heaven Nail Enamel Remover with Vitamin E as a free gift with some purchase at super market. I have been using it to remove SUGAR Tic Tac Toe Nail Enamel & others, and it definitely is a nice product costing only Rs. 50. Since it contains Vitamin E, it does not feel harsh on nails or cuticles. I might get it again sometime. Tresemme Botanique Detox & Restore Shampoo And Conditioner was a nice experience. The combo got over pretty simultaneously. Do you know Tresemme bottles are mostly half filled only. That’s why it got over in few washes, given that I use Ketomac Anti Dandruff & Anti Itching Shampoo With 2% Ketoconazole every week once a day. Buy the combo here.   Juicy Chemistry is an organic brand offering nice skin & hair care products. I have tried only 2 products form the brand yet, and am impressed. Juicy Chemistry Argan & Mango Butter Hair Masque is a pre-shampoo mask, which nourished my hair & made them healthy. It has Argan Oil which works the best on my dry hair. Buy here. It is always a good thing to keep your vanity clear of unused products. If you find a product is not good enough to be used as such, then you can find out some alternate ways to use it. This way you can always keep your vanity organized. Love.

When it’s month closing, people working in financial institutions/departments go crazy with work. No mental peace for few days. In software industry it’s not like that. We start developing a software with all mental peace, following the very standard procedure ensuring quality. It eats up more than half of the time period promised to the client. Now the countdown starts. The client wants to see some working demos. We manage somehow. To deliver the final product, endless sleepless & pizza nights start. Seems like the project is never going to finish. All the quality standards are set aside, shortcuts are taken & with unknown bugs sleeping inside, a beta version is released just to bargain for more time to deliver a better system. The cycle goes on & with every new release client pushes some more features, which buy us some more time. The product is always under maintenance but earning profits for the client. Everybody is happy. I am no more into the industry, but I always miss it, the work culture, the milestones achieved while gulping down 2 cups of coffee in a row, & even the silly bugs that arise since the programmer copy pasted some functionality from another source code without making required changes. The list is endless, the charm is beyond imagination. Coming back to the month end, I have lined up few products that goes to trash bin today. I managed to finish some skin & hair care products by this month. Have a look. I have mentioned numerous times that my Clean n Clear Oil Free Moisturizer is my all time favorite moisturizer. I have used gels to moisturize my skin but I do not like the initial stretchy feeling that the gels give. This moisturizer is perfect for the summer & monsoon session. Just after winter was over & summer was knocking on my door, my skin was confused, it was not oily altogether, but had some rough & dry patches, that’s when Za True White Emulsion came to rescue. It is watery serum, gets absorbed instantly & leaves skin moisturized without giving heavy feeling. Lacto Calamine does not need any introduction for the work it does for oily skins specially during summer. It keeps skin matte for 3-4 hours. Evens out skin tone & is dirt cheap. You can spot it in my vanity every season. I have been neglecting my eye area from a while, bit due to recent travelling. I did not carry any eye cream with me, & now I could see some darkened eye area. I am going to repurchase Oriflame Optimals Seeing Is Believing Eye Cream since it works as good as any high end product but is very reasonable. Coming to hair care, I have been using Lancy’s MABH hair oil from a while now & I have been quite liking it. I received 2 bottles of the oil from Lancy 2-3 months back. This reminds me that I should do a follow up post on my hair length. To arrest horrendous hair fall, I can vouch for Japakusum Scalp Lotion. No matter what the reason is, this lotion will stop it upto 80-90%. It is herbal & gives nice cooling effect to the scalp. From last 2 weeks I have not used the oil or the scalp lotion, but I plan to start using the both again. I will conclude the post by giving a good news, I am going to host a new giveaway very soon.  I have not decided the giveaway prize yet, but that is going to be fabulous for sure. Stay tuned.
