{ Review + GIveaway } Za Total Hydration Cleanser

Hello ! Hello ! Hello !

Tells you how excited the festive season makes me. The slight nip in the air, the possibility of wearing boots and winterwear and enjoying a movie under the quilt with a Hot soup- Are all good things this season is made of!

Also, the season, when your skincare needs change with the dry weather. Today in my kitty is the Vogue 2015 Beauty Award winner. The Za Total Hydration Cleanser with Vitamin E. I am lucky to have been introduced to the Za range of skincare. Finally a brand that caters to the skincare needs of Indians. The Total hydration range was launched 2 months ago, and I can't tell you how excited that made me! I already swear by the Total Hydration Amino Mineral Refreshing Gel. If you have an oily skin- don't wait to grab this! And now for this cleanser, here are my views:

Form: This is a foamy cleanser- Remember your dad's shaving cream? ;) Yes, exactly that. It has a fresh citrusy fragrance which again reminds me of dad's shaving cream :D It also has cleansing granules, though I never understood how the products with granules are different, because most of the times, we might just wash away the granules without crushing them!

How to Use: Squeeze half-pea sized amount onto your palm. Lather and massage on the face. A little quantity goes a long way so don't be greedy! Wash off in seconds, don't keep it for more than a minute .


First Impressions: After the first wash, the face felt squeaky clean. Scary because, this means it can be drying on my face! But I waited a while, and realised it didn't dry my face at all. I have a combination skin. So I tend to have dry cheeks . This cleanser was able to strike the balance on a combination skin. The fragrance makes you smell like fresh lemons. Have you secretly admired that fragrance when your dad just did a shave !!! Then , this cleanser delivers that exact one!

This also means, its the perfect unisex cleanser. If you have an oily/combination skin, you can surely end up liking this cleanser because it leaves you so FRESh! As for dry skin, I would wait for one of you to tell me how you felt.

For most of you who follow me on my Twitter/Insta handles know that I have revived my childhood hobby of painting . I am sharpening my skills and it gives me immense fulfillment!  I am painting botanicals, and since this cleanser reminded me of Fresh lemons, I painted this cleanser too! See the picture below :)

And now, one of you lucky readers gets a chance to win this Full-size cleanser. We will have 2 more winners who get  minis of this cleanser. For the contest, don't forget to head to the Twitter handle and use the hashtag #FreshOnMe . You have to tell me what looks Fresh on you, with the hashtag- #FreshOnMe. Don't forget to tag @ZaBeautyIndia as well!

{ STYLE } Those Golden words

I shook my head in disbelief. Maybe I was still in a state of drowsy sleepiness . Maybe I was still not awake and in my dreams. I turned my gaze towards him and my mind shut only to see his lips sync. "Lets go shopping" . I sunk back under my quilt, well ,almost! And then popped back like a jack in a box. You said"Shopping???" Ok fine. I am heading to a quick 5 min shower & then lets go!

I had no clue why his face looked so calm, as if he had entered a state of enlightenment owing to the FASHION GOD! Hah! He said- Remember that white floral dress you have been seeing in every other online portal. I finally found a deal here. Its the same dress and its only for 18.98$ OR 1200 INR. The cherry on the cake- This website has FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE! I dismissed my bathing plans and dived into this website called ZAFUL.COM. I also found a gold Dolce & Gabbana inspired earrings at only $5.23 OR 300 INR (Remember the Dolce & Gabbana Filigrana chandelier earrings worth 1200$) . Without a second blink of my eyelid, I clicked on BUY. I waited anxiously for my parcel to arrive and it came in 18 days from HongKong.

The results as you may see is in the pictures below :) I also tried on my wooden TOPSHOP sandals I bought from Delhi last week.Frankly I can't wait for monsoons to wrap up, but Oh , they have just arrived! Sigh!

 Buy this dress here: http://www.zaful.com/pair-of-golden-pendant-earrings-p_4700.html
Buy these earrings here: http://www.zaful.com/floral-print-short-sleeve-dress-p_862.html

Tell me what you liked on Zaful.com and don't forget to show me your purchases :) I just hope they continue to promote budget shopping worldwide!

Till,next time,CIAO!

Don't forget to visit Twitter in sometime for an amazing Giveaway of my favorite Limited Edition Cannes 2015 makeup from Loreal Paris. Here's the secret all out!
