VKare Bio Sciences: Nature's delights in little boxes

In today's day and age, the need for natural and 100% vegetarian items is hardly met. This stands true especially in the case of skincare products, where one depends wholly on what is written on the package. Apart from that, the ones with some potential end up getting so highly priced one just decides to go with the more pocket friendly options

A relatively new venture, VKare Bio Sciences, has taken up the task of providing 100% vegetarian, natural amd HANDCRAFTED skincare items at very reasonable rates.

These items, from lip balms to soaps to bathsalts are all handmade with love and are swift in their results. I would also like to mention the packaging and how each item was delicately wrapped like a gift. These items are perfect as presents for your loved ones.

 I tried three items from their range namely:

1. Fushia lip balm- Black Currant


Okay I'll talk first about the product I lovedddd the most. The lip balm. Black Currant scented.
It contains bees wax and sunflower oil as major components. It also has shea butter which is known for its moisturising qualities the world over.

The fushia lip balm is free of parabens and petroleum base, artificial tints and synthetic perfumes. They are priced at the same amount as the other lip balms in the market (Rs.225/-) but provide results considerably better and sooner.




2. Fuschia June Jasmine Bath Salts



The June Jasmine bath salt contains Sea Salt and Dead Sea minerals as major conponents. And while it relaxes, rejuvnates and revivalises your skin and your mind, it is very aptly priced too.

While other products in the market range from 350/- to anywhere near even 1500/- rupees, these bath Salts cost 225/- rupees for 50gms. Sounds like a steal to me!


3. Fuschia Handmade Lemongrass Soap

The lemongrass scent on this soap is heavenly! It is refreshing and uplifting. Perfect for a hot water bath after a long day, these soaps cost 225/- for 100 gm pack.


Apart from their products VKare also provides a good customer care support and swift deliveries of products.
If you love things customised, I'd advise you to try them for yourself. As for me, I'm planning on ordering some more as they have a sale going on at their website.

Skin18: Magic Potion for Faces with different needs

The need for a clean, clear and wrinkle-free face surpasses all accessories and clothings. A radiant and glowing face not only brings out the best in whatever you wear, but also gives you an inimitable confidence.

Talking about radiant faces, I came across this new company Skin18 which provides a range of masks and creams for different age groups and people with different skin needs.

One of the best products in their is the 30 days one-second creams. These creams get absorbed in your skin in just one second to provide results.


The wrinkle tiger, however, has to be the sassiest product in their range. This mask is in shape of a tiger's face, and also has the same patterns! So when you apply it, your face looks like that of a tiger. Creativity, I tell you!!
 It lifts wrinkles and gives the skin a youthful glow. 

The aloe soothing skin renewal mask contains aloe gel, which is widely popular for its calming properties. Skin18 also provides a cleanser and  an ampoule along with the mask.

The rice wine moisturising and conditioning serum is for people with very dry skins. Rice is known for its fulfilling properties towards the skin, and this product exploits just that.


Apart from the wrinkle lifting and moisturising products, Skin18 also provides white clean active mask with Red Ginseng and glycerine. It replenishes the skin with nutrients and moisture and leaves shiny skin by regenerating.


You can contact them via multiple platforms the details of which are listed below.

Selfie Series: 10 basic tips for beginners.

Hey guys

So the importance of selfie in today's day and age needs no intro. A click on #selfie will garner more than 144 million pictures, and updates every other second.

But amongst all of this, the struggle to click a good selfie without deleting a hundred previous ones, is real. 

So I'm starting a selfie series, posting tips to click better selfies to capture that beautiful face of yours, with little to no efforts.

Read on. :D


Tip #1: Experiment with Angles
Tilt your head to the left and then the right as you view yourself on your phone’s screen. For most of us, one side is more attractive than the other. Also, showing off your “best side” is generally more interesting than a straight-on shot, too.


Tip #2: Adjust Your Shoulder Placement
If your shoulders are parallel to the camera, turn them slightly to the left and then slightly to the right, and see what looks best.


Tip #3: Stand in the Light
Pose in an area with beautiful lighting –either inside near a window or outside. Gorgeous lighting = a more flattering selfie. How will you know if the lighting looks good on your face? Hold the phone in front of your face and turn the camera, so you can see yourself. Look at the lighting at that moment. Now, turn 90 degrees. Make note of the lighting. Glance at the background. Turn 90 degrees again. Note the lighting and background. Keep turning until you’re back where you started. Chances are, you will have found a spot with excellent lighting and a decent background. If not, either move to another space or try again at a different time of day. What’s the best time of day to shoot? Ideally, during the magic hour! (The magic hour is actually two hours—one hour after sunrise and one hour before sunset).



Tip #4: Pose with Something NewPerhaps, you just got a new pair of glasses. Frame the photo to accentuate your new spectacles. If you recently had your hair cut and colored, show it off in your selfie. Or if you just brought home an adorable puppy, pose with your new furry friend.


Tip #5: Do Something InterestingTake a picture of you engaging in a fun activity—snorkeling in the ocean, sitting on a jet ski, or hiking in Machu Picchu.


Tip #6: AccessorizeThrow on a hat, don a wig, or wear sunglasses.


Tip #7: Express YourselfSmile! Frown. Pout. Or make a silly face (But no, not the duck face!)


Tip #8: Take a Full-Body ShotA full-length mirror works well for this type of selfie shot. Again, angle your body to the left or right, which is generally more flattering than shooting straight on.


Tip #9: Release Your Camera’s Shutter the Easy WayHolding your camera with one hand is more common, but a little trickier to keep it steady and take a photo. With the iPhone, you can quickly and easily take a picture by hitting either the shutter release button or one of the volume buttons.


Tip #10: Extend your Neck Forward
To completely remove any double chin in your photo, and to accentuate your jaw line, extend your neck forward.  This may feel funny, but it will dramatically improve how you look in the photo.  Also, shoot from above. Raise the camera slightly above you and then look up to even further accentuate the jaw.
