Beauty Review : It’s Skin Mask Sheets

When it comes to giving much needed nutrition to the skin, nothing beats sheet masks. Dearpacker sheet masks are my absolute favourite, Sephora ones didn’t impress me much and now it is time to review sheet masks from another Korean brand called It’s Skin. The masks are priced at rupees hundred each, there was an offer going on so I got one mask free on purchase of two. These are available on Nykaa and also on Amazon.

Here’s my experience with the three masks :

1. Aloe : Moisture & Calming

Aloe Vera is the epitome of all things salubrious, so I decided to try this one first. It is intended to provide moisture and to soothe the skin. It did have a smoothing effect on my skin. Though it didn’t have a cooling effect, which all aloe infused products have generally. So I would say it is moisturising but not calming.

2. Pomegranate : Clean & Vitality

This was a disappointment as I didn’t notice any discernible changes in my skin. I expected it would remove impurities and will make skin more clear, but it failed. The only good part was its fragrance.

3. Olive : Nutrition & Firming

This was better than the pomegranate one, it was moisturising and also imparted a bit of glow on the skin.

Overall, I will rate these masks as moderate. I like them more than the Sephora ones owing to their affordable pricing, but Dearpacker still has all my heart.

Celebrating Mother’s Day :)

Mother’s Day- A celebration honoring the mother of the family, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. Do note that it is “Mother’s day” (singular possessive) and not “Mothers day”, for each family to honor its own mother, not a plural possessive commemorating all mothers in the world. Celebrated on the “second Sunday” of May, It is just a small token of appreciation for what our mothers have done for us.

She traded sleep for dark circles, salon haircuts for pony tails, long baths for quick showers, late nights for early mornings, designer bags for school bags and she would not change a thing. They call themselves mothers and they do not care about what they gave up and instead “love” is what we get in return. That is what being a “mother” is all about.

It is the beauty and care of a mother’s love that transforms a caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly, which is ready to set sail into the world. The importance and worth of a mother is difficult to be expressed in words as she is the strong pillar who holds the family together in times of distress. She is the portrait of love, care, concern, forgiveness and a lot more emotions that are bundled up together in this divine form of mother.

Here is how i did some small things to make my mother smile on this day. Do tell us how did you celebrate this special day!

Accessories : Terracotta Jewelry

Handcrafted things never go out of fashion and they always add a quaint charm to our look. One such handcrafted style of jewelry is “Terracotta“. The word literally means baked earth and is made from natural clay. It is an exotic form of ornamentation that adds a bohemian look and can be teamed up with bright colored outfits.

The terracotta jewelry is hand painted in earthy hues – brown, grey, blue, pink, green and red – all adding a rustic touch to each jewelry piece. Conventional and the most popular motifs designed in terracotta jewelry include human figurines, animals or the gods of the tribes. But to add a modish touch artisans often depict contemporary shapes and patterns.

Here’s a look at some of these beautiful terracotta jewelry pieces. 

You can buy terracotta jewellery from Amazon , Kraftly , Tjori

 

 

 

 

 

 

Accessories : A Bohemian Trend

Dupattas/stoles/scarves have been a quintessential part of our dressing, they add the much needed elegance or quirkiness to the look. At times it is the rich dupattas in Tussar/Chanderi or the trendy stoles in pastel prints.

Pairing jewellery with dupattas/scarves gets complicated as both are attention grabbing accessories and both are to be worn around the neck. So this new trend provides a unique solution by combining the two and giving way to “scarf jewellery“. 

It is classy and chic at the same time, here’s a look at some of these-
