CLAIMS MADE BY NIVEA NATURAL FAIRNESS ROLL ON:

IS IT THE BEST BUDGET ROLL ON AVAILABLE?

I would say probably yes!

For the pocket friendly price and easy availability, it is quite a decent product. I might be buying this again, or I might go back to my all time favorite Nivea Invisible anti-perspirant spray (detailed review here) 🙂

You can get this on Amazon here.

Today’s post is about the shortbread cookies which i tried for the first time yesterday. They were an instant hit in my home! So i thought to share the recipe with my readers. I love trying out new dessert recipes especially which require easily available ingredients and do not take much time for preparation! Lol talk about being a lazy person 😀

Okay so the actual recipe was taken from this blog ( https://inspiringsamar.wordpress.com/2010/11/15/shortbread-biscuits/ ). [thank you dear lady! 🙂 ] I made a few changes to the recipe though.

Let’s start with the ingredients:

INGREDIENTS FOR MAKING SHORTBREAD COOKIES:

2 cups wheat flour (You can use all purpose flour as well)
1 Cup brown sugar (grinded)
1 cup ghee or melted butter (I used ghee)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder (or more…depends on your taste)
1/2 Teaspoon vanilla essence
1 egg yolk (for brushing)

RECIPE:

I started with grinding the brown sugar. I added cardamom seeds (not the covers, of course 😀 ) in the blender along with sugar to make a fine powder. I swear by this grinder for super quick and fine grinding. Next i took a bowl and added the flour and baking soda after sifting. Then I added the castor sugar with cardamom powder. Mixed them gently and added ghee along with the vanilla essence and kneaded into a dough. The dough was very soft and a bit oily to touch. By this time i turned on my electric oven to preheat it at about 180 degrees. After this, I started making small balls with hands, flattened them and placed on a baking tray covered with aluminium foil. Slightly brushed the egg yolk on the cookie balls and baked them for 7-8 minutes at 180 °C.

They came out like this.

This recipe made about 27 shortbread cookies…They were soft and crunchy and just the way i expected them to be! 😉

I hope you enjoyed reading the recipe and will enjoy trying it as well 😀

Until next time….xoxo

Today I want to share with you an AHMAZING budget beauty product, which is not only pocket friendly (in case you dont like it, you wont regret spending money on it hehe) but also suitable for sensitive skin. Due to my skin being so problematic lately, I have been very very cautious in selecting anything that I apply on face. But Maryann Organics Collagen Cream has been my saviour! 

Maryann Organics Collagen Cream says its suitable for all skin types. I cant promise it will be very suitable for extra dry skin (esp. in winters) but you can always layer it up as it is very light and non-greasy. The texture is a really fluffy one, absorbs quickly and you enjoy a very muted fresh scent.

It comes in a 50 ml bottle which is quite sturdy, and you don’t have to fear it falls outta your hands 😉 

The quantity is pretty good for the price, and you need a pea size amount to cover the whole face. (those with dry skin might want to apply double the amount…). It keeps my oily skin moisturised for a good 5-6 hours.  It can be used in day time and you can apply it at night time as well. I have been using this for about a month now, morning and night, and I have still almost 80% of the amount left….

This is a very pocket friendly product. For my troubled skin, I would say its a greattttt product, as it not only leaves my skin feeling refreshed and smooth, but it also didn’t break me out (my biggest fear in trying out new products!). I think people with oily and combination skin will really enjoy using it.

Hello people. I am back after a century. How are you guys? Hope everyone is doing great.

So today when i was busy in doing my usual boring stuff, i suddenly remembered “oh…i used to have a blog”! So here i am sharing with you my cutest go to product these days: maybelline babylips lip balm-cherry me.

It comes in a pretty packaging with transparent lid which is quite secure and you can easily carry it in your makeup bag or pouch etc. (Like i do, daily). It has a moisturising effect on the lips which lasts for a good 2.5 to 3 hours on me – someone who lovvvvves to eat whatevvvver product is there on the lips haha so for that matter, im quite impressed by its staying power. However, a few days back, when i was the victim of extremely dry and chapped lips, i was not very impressed by its performance, but now when my lips are back to normal state i feel its working quite fine! I also love the fact that it gives a very pretty slight cherry tint to the lips which just enhances my natural lip color.

All in all its a very good product for its price. Also it goes a long way and only a little product is consumed. I have been using it for around 2-3 months now and you can see how much of the product is consumed/remains…

For around $2.5, you get 4.4g of the product. It can easily be found in any supermarket / makeup store stocking the maybelline products. If you wish to purchase online, you can buy this from Amazon. 

So if you are in search for a pocket friendly lip balm which not only moisturises your lips but gives a pretty mild Cherry tint too, I think I can safely recommend you this baby. 🙂

Hope you enjoyed reading the review. Do share your opinions about cherry me if you have used it and if some other lip balm you are a fan of, do let us know here! Until next time, xoxo 🙂

Hello everyone! today I am sharing a sweet fragrance that has captivated my senses like anything! Its 'Body Fantasies Signature Fragrance Body Spray, Pink Vanilla Kiss'.

Not only that I use it religiously every morning and evening after taking baths, but I spritz it on my pillow as well because I just am TRULY MADLY DEEPLY in love with this body spray!!

The fragrance is quite sweet and juicy and floral and fresh; all at the same time! It stays for a long time on my skin: approximately 12 hours. I have used this spray in summer as well as winter, therefore I can safely say that the longevity of its fragrance is quite remarkable in the hot and humid summers. Also, there are days when I’m extra lazy to wear an actual perfume, and I just spray it on my clothes as well, but here the staying time is a bit limited, like a maximum of 6 hours. Other than its superb staying power, the moisturizing feel when it is applied on the skin (as compared to other body sprays) is quite observable! I really like the fact that I don't feel that strong stingy feeling when I spritz it on my skin as compared to other normal body sprays….

You can easily find it on Amazon and as I am always telling my friends how much I love this baby, a few days back a friend of mine gifted me this along with some other flavors from this range. Next time, if you ever spot this baby on any shelf, just grab one for trying sake, I promise you won’t be disappointed! 😉

So thanks for reading folks. Do let me know if you have used this or any other flavor from Body Luxuries range and do you like it or not?! Have a nice day…xoxo 🙂
