Vedic Line - Facial Kit



Facials are all too common but because subscription boxes and stores are now offering sheet masks at lower prices because of increase in different brands introducing new mask sheets every month. This popularity has given rise to a monster. I am that monster. I am a little lazy and I don’t do well in situations where I am supposed to sit still hence facials have never been my thing. Thanks to sheet masks I save a lot of time and money on my skin care routine.

In our April month’s GlamEgo box we got the Vedic Line facial kit which had 6 sachets with each sachet labeled with its purpose and the order in which one is supposed to use them. Lulu had suggested that I take the kit with me the next time I visited the parlor.
First of all I over think things: “Why will a parlor allow me to bring a product from outside?” “They’ll probably ask me to use their product only.” “They’ll charge me more.” “Will they charge me less?” “I should just give this kit to someone who knows to give facials at home.”

One day early this month I just had a very exhausting day and called the parlor and asked the aunty if I could get this facial kit I got in my subscription box and she said of course and that was that.

I dragged my mom along because the product was too much for a single person’s use. I don’t believe in wastage. So, Amma and I got our facials done.

Since the rule is to not wash your face for 12 hours after the facial I came home and went to sleep without washing my face. When I woke up the next morning my face actually looked like someone had painted it with gold glitter. It was shining.

Day 2: I had used my regular homemade scrub to wash my face and my face didn’t look too oily. It was the same for day 3 and 4.  Then suddenly on day 5 I woke up late  for work. I didn’t even wash my face and just brushed my teeth and dashed out after having applied the brightest lipstick I have. I am also not someone who keeps checking her reflection in the mirror or glass but let me tell you that day I actually paused and looked at my face and thought, “Oh my god I look so pretty!” Yes I can still shock myself on occasion.

Given the weather we have now my skin would have definitely felt dry if I hadn’t put myself through this process but it isn’t.

What I observed is that the facial may have given me a mild bleach. It definitely cleaned my skin. My skin did feel hydrated and well moisturized. (Please note to keep the facial’s effect for at least 21 days, you’ll still have to stick to the cleanse-tone-moisturize routine without fail.) All the products smelt the same and it wasn’t too strong – there was no stinging of skin or eyes, there wasn’t redness post facial nor rashes. Since I felt there was mild bleaching agent present my acne scars were also looking slightly better.

Final note: I have extremely oily skin – I can apply gel based product on my face at night and still wake up with a shiny oily T zone. That’s how oily my skin is. I would recommend this product for oily skinned people as it reduces the oily shine on your face for a period. You get the matt look without your skin drying out. But remember my Nelf horror show? Well do stay safe and proceed only after a patch test.

My Rating: 4.5/5
Recommend: Definitely for people with oily skin especially in this weather.

Google Pixel XL - Review

Image
I had been meaning to change my phone for over a year and it was then that this phone had caught my eye – The Google Pixel XL. I had read so much about it. Found that a lot of people that I am surrounded by had no intentions of getting it. Here is the thing, my sole reason for investing in a gadget has to do with the following: ·         Its price should be within a certain range i.e it should not burn a hole in my wallet. ·         It should at least be guaranteed that the product will be receiving software support for a minimum of 3 years. ·         It should have excellent user interface to make life easy and be a tool for communication as well as relaxation. ·         It should have a good camera. ·         Its accessories must be easily available in the market. It’s with the help of this list that I short listed my “This the phone I’d like to own” list ·         Google Pixel XL (128GB) – INR 56,229 ·         One Plus 5T (128 GB) – INR 37,795 ·         Moto Z2 Play (64GB)   - INR 2

Hey Little Girl... Part I

The little girl aped her elder brother. To her, he was the coolest dude that existed. She was the kid in school who was spoken to because she was so and so’s sister. As a kid she was extremely naïve. Her brother was the quizzer, the topper, the teacher’s pet, the social guy and everybody liked him. She on the other hand was the brat, the swimmer, a teacher’s nightmare, anti social and didn’t want to be liked by anyone. They were polar opposites of each other. Her brother - the witty charmer and She, the *shrugs shoulders* and very impolitely leaving conversation kind of person. Perhaps… the younger version of her envied the ease with which her brother was able to make friends and be at the core of everything that was happening in school. The fact that they were so different and studied in the same school eventually led to teachers constantly comparing them. It wasn’t anything she couldn’t handle. But imagine a little girl always being chastised and all sermons ending with, “why

The Journey

Last weekend was amazing. It began by me traveling solo from Mysore to Madras. I plonked my bags at my best friend's place. Her roomie, she and I headed to Mahabalipuram where we saw the famed sculptures carved out of single boulders. The carvings are pretty intricate and the sight is very pretty but the highlight of the visit was a monkey. While we were leaving the place we saw a troop of monkeys and one of them immediately took a fancy to my friend’s roomie. Now this girl is scared of almost every animal. It became very obvious to her that the monkey was eying the bottle in her hand. She threw it at the monkey. The monkey picked it opened the bottle and gulped the juice and looked so pleased! It was a sight. It does not seem hilarious in print but it was incredibly funny. But before going to Mahablipuram we stopped at the Crocodile Park where I learnt to hold a baby crocodile and also a python. I actually felt the crocodile gulp when I was holding it. The place
