How people react to style posts!

*Grumble ALERT*

“Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.” 
― C.G. Jung

"Why don't you get into modelling?". "Looking great. You must get into modelling. Don't you get offers?" Its about time you get out of your day job and get into the fashion industry" . " I totally feel you deserve a break in the fashion magazines and that you must try your luck there. What are you doing here?"

And many more... I appreciate that people think so much about me. Its comforting to know people appreciate your work so much and wish all the good things for you.

Well, I wish i did get offers for modelling. But then, My blog is about STYLING and not modelling.I started the blog to share my personal style and styling tips. Not my face.  Since it is my personal style , I cannot have someone else wear it on the blog. How would it be personal style then? So what is styling you ask? In layman language- Styling means dressing up just the way you do everyday based on your mood, occasion, time of the day, weather etc. Styling is putting together an entire look top to bottom( tops, bottoms, accessories, footwear etc). The best part is playing dress-up. A same piece of cloth can be worn in a multiple ways and that is what is exciting about Styling!

Someone said, "Great pictures there, where did you get that blazer from?" . Whaaa!!! I did not write all that Ramayana(Read TEXT) for myself. Someone just pinged me. "Nice pictures.Ok, What is your blog about, again?" Perhaps an FAQ section might help.

Before I leave, this is my quick Office wear to Party wear transformation when I attended Lakme Fashion Week. Just add those pointy heels and the chunky black neckpiece and cuff . I wore the scarf as a half poncho.

Selfie is mandatory especially when you can't grab enough people for solo snaps!

My outfit ( All items bought only during SALE except Scarf: Bought in Rome for 5 Euros)

*Pointy pumps: ZARA(Sale  Rs.1300)

REVIEW : Oriflame Eco-beauty Range

"Honor the sacred. Honor the Earth, our Mother. Honor the Elders. Honor all with whom we share the Earth -- Four-leggeds, two-leggeds, winged ones, Swimmers, crawlers, plant and rock people. Walk in balance and beauty."~Native American Elder

Disclaimer: All views expressed here are my own, and has no influence from the company whatsoever

I have always gravitated towards eco-friendly products which are as much organic as possible!The Body Shop, Human Nature( Philiphines) , Innisfree ( Korea) , Dr.Hauschka( Germany) are some of my most favorite brands for organic skincare more because they are certified for what they claim and also deliver!

When Oriflame contacted me to choose a product for review, I scoured the website like one happy child. To my surprise , they had an organic range too-the ECO -BEAUTY range. The Oriflame team surprised me by sending the entire range in May. I decided to give the range a good 3 months before i wrote this review for you.

As a child I was always fascinated with the glossy catalogues from all direct-marketing companies which had the most luxurious looking products .It was so much fun to just flip through the pages and imagine which nail color will suit me or which lotion fragrance would be the most desirable! Even today Its a delight to sift through the Online catalogue of Oriflame.

Oriflame ecobeauty Range( From L-R ): shower gel,hand cream, night cream, day cream and eye cream

Their website has a dedicated interactive page for the entire range and for every 100 clicks they will plant a tree. Click to visit. (Turn on the sound feature if you'd like to soothe your senses.)

To know the significance of Eco-beauty, explore the video links below:

1) Fairtrade  : The Oriflame team visits Kerala for sourcing their ingredient through                                 fairtrade (Coconut.)

2) Vegan      : All products are vegan

3) Ecocert    : All products are Ecocert certified. Click to know more.

4) FSC          : Learn about FSC certification here

Also,
Ecobeauty products are free from:

• - animal-derived substances
• - paraben
• - silicone
• - mineral oils
• - synthetic fragrances

My Recommended picks from this range:

1. EcoBeauty Smoothing Day Cream ( INR 1290)

Feature: Fairtrade Shea Butter: One of nature’s great skin softening agents - used for its emollient properties, helping to protect the skin from dryness. Sourced from Burkino Faso, West Africa.

The smell reminds me of massage oils from Grandma's stable. So pure and so natural. The cream absorbs quickly and brightens the face. Has been tried on both oily as well as dry skin. Infact acne-prone skin too. The skin feels smooth and nourished with daily use! Specially recommended for people with dry skin . Tried on Nik too, so men you can safely use this after your morning shave daily!

2. EcoBeauty Smoothing Night Cream ( INR 1390)

Feature: Organic Coconut oil rich in vitamins and fatty acids, which nourishes and protects the skin against the visible effects of environmental stress. Sourced from Fairtrade Alliance Kerala, South-West India.

I have been using this too over the last 3 months. I wake up to a radiant me. A bit greasy during monsoons due to high humidity levels but an excellent rejuvenator nevertheless.

3. Ecobeauty Smoothing Eye cream ( INR 690)

Feature:   1.  Contains Swedish Lingonberry and Sea Buckthorn seed oils, rich in essential                  fatty acids and antioxidants, which nourish and protect the skin through their                     anti-oxidative properties

               2. Contains Organic Tapioca Starch which gives a smooth, elegant texture on                       the    skin.

Use it around the eye and after 10 days of regular use, you will notice a more hydrated under-eye area and smooth too. Recommended for all women over 20. Signs of fatigue start diminishing which is so desirable.

The hand cream is hydrating but definitely not the best hand-cream around. If you have oily or normal skin, you can give it a try. The shower gel is good to have except that the fragrance could have been better than its grassy variant at present. 

Price Vs Quantity: For all the products, a little goes a long way. Worth the moolah!

The range is on discounts this month. Refer the catalogue. Take your pick and tell me which one is your favorite! Shop the range online here.

Monochrome Pop

Monochrome is trending & why not? Black & white is the classic that can never go out of fashion.While people are combining all the blacks & whites together, i thought of adding color pops of red & blue with a Red bag , blue statement neckpiece & a blue denim waist.The rest as you can see is MONOCHROME :)

My favorite find from ONLY, the denim waist is a companion i never want to part with.Invest in a denim waist and make any outfit look Cool! I wore it here & here.

See the luminous skin? Its the Oriflame VEry Me Peach me perfect with microshimmers .There is absolutely no editing done to this photo & you can see how flawless the skin looks! Read about it here.
The Statement neckpiece can add so much to a look.The piece worn here was bought from Colaba in the year 2010 and i have ween wanting to share it ever since! Its never too late right?

Monochrome shoes from TASHI add oomph to any outfit paired with it! The Red leather bag is my newest addition from the treasure trove called DHARAVI

ORIFLAME- VERY ME!

L-R Sharmili Rajput, Marketing Director-Oriflame | Akriti Kocchar, Make-up Expert-Oriflame|  Oriflame 

Oriflame recently organised a super pampering session for the bloggers in Mumbai.Right from foot spa ,  groovy music, thirst quenchers, spicy bites and a stand-up comedy they kept us totally glued with their magic!

Relaxing Foot SPA by Four fountains SPA at Oriflame Party!

Top to bottom (clockwise) 1. Me, 2. Bloggers with very me on their faces 3. Me and Gargi from Candyvioletta with Sharmili Rajput, Marketing Director ,Oriflame, 4. Me with fellow bloggers

Oriflame has been a favorite with so many women across the globe.It is one brand which has created life-long customers with effective skin products over the years.

Luckily for me, it was the first time I got a chance to explore their Make-up line known as VERY ME.

It is a fun brand created speacially for the younger crowd.However, this also applies for the young at heart.

You can explore the entire collection on their website.

My favorite products from the collection are:

 

Very Me Peach me

This is one magic wand.I have never tried foundations – yes never, as I have an oily acne-prone skin which is constantly under my dermatologists scanner.

Very me is not a typical foundation .It is a light blendable tinted moisturiser that instantly gives your skin a glow without being powdery.You have to try this to believe it!
Infact i would be publishing my pictures wearing this wonder product soon!

Blusher

This is the perfect little thing for beginners.The colors are so pretty it looks like a natural flush.

Use the oriflame blush brush for application.Carry this eeny-weeny piece of beauty in your purse wherever you go so you are party ready !

Make-up Brushes

I would like to make a special mention of their brushes which are so amazingly perfect for applying make-up.
Made from natural hair , these brushes make blending and application fun!
Priced reasonably for every girl's pocket they are not purse friendly but are good for storing in your home make-up kit.

So hit the next door oriflame consultant and grab your very me goodies now and tell us what you got!
