Hey lovelies!
Are you in the Christmas mood already? Well if you haven't yet figured out what Christmas gifts to get for yourself or for your friends, I think this post would help solve your dilemma.

Last week I attended a Bloggers Meet organized by Spawake powered by Femina magazine at Olive Bar & Kitchen, Delhi.

Spawake, a skincare brand launched by KOSÉ Corporation in India a while back, launched their new products at the event : Moisture Fresh BB Cream and Whitening Triple Care Serum .

With the increasing popularity of BB Creams in India, it was about time that Spawake, which already made a strong entry in India with its skincare range, launched their own BB Cream for Indian makeup lovers.

The event started on an interesting note with a healthy discussion about Skincare with the Skin Expert - Dr. Simal Soin from Aayna Clinic, who gave tips to keep our skin fresh and young by following some simple tips.


Next, the Spawake team introduced us to their new launches :

• Moisture Fresh BB Cream : Available in 2 variants, this sea mineral BB Cream, is a multi-effect BB cream which moisturizes, protects, covers dark spots, gives an even skin tone and leaves the skin hydrated. It is also rich in SPF thus helps protect skin from the harmful UV rays. 

2 shades of the BB cream are : Perfect Glow (For Makeup Finish) and Natural Glow (For Daily Natural Look). It is available in 2 sizes: - 30g (Rs.249) and 15g (Rs.129).

• Whitening Triple Care Serum : Formulated with Advanced Brightening Complex which includes vitamins and minerals using the advanced Japanese skin care technology, this serums helps make your skin feel soft and hydrated in a matter of seconds. It is available in 45ml pack (Rs.399).

Commenting on the launch of the new products, Mr. Takashi Nomura, Director & CEO, KOSE Corporation India Pvt. Ltd. said, “Spawake is an expression of KOSÉ’s commitment to bringing sea deep beauty to every Indian woman and we are delighted by the response we have received so far.

We are proud to bring to the Indian market the benefits of advanced skin care within such an affordable price range, this being a reflection of our dedication to cater to women’s everyday cosmetic needs.
Owing to the appreciation we have thus received, we are looking to expand beyond the capital to other major cities as well and aiming to launch new value added products in the Indian cosmetic industry every six months.”

Such an attentive bunch, aren't we? :D

If you haven't used SPAWAKE range before, I would introduce you to the 2 key ingredients in their products that make the range unique and beneficial for the skin :

• Laminaria Japonica Extract- A highest quality extract drawn from Japanese Kelp, a type of sea weed, that is known for its hydrating effects.
• Maris Sal (Sea Salt)  - SEA SALT is dry matter collected off the coast of the beautiful oceans in Brittany, France, as the seawater there is rich in minerals. The minerals specifically found in sea salt have anti-inflammatory effects

Well, I am a lover of BB creams as my combination skin doesn't accept multiple products, and Spawake BB cream sounds like the all-in-one product that I have always looked for. Stay tuned for my Review of the product on my other blog.

In a discussion with the bloggers and answering our queries, Kareena Kapoor, who looked as ravishing as ever, shared secrets behind her beautiful skin, her personal skincare tips and her diet.

She shared that she believes in the saying that - You are What You Eat - therefore one should always watch what they are eating, as it would directly affect the skin and the body. Well, we couldn't agree any less on this!

Hola chicas!
Hope you all had a fun weekend! I spent the weekend doing lots of fun things including meeting the ace designer Monisha Jaising over a dinner meetup, indulging in a Hydra Facial at Aayna and watching the latest Bollywood flick - Humpty Sharma ki Dulhaniya with a friend. The blog posts for the first two would follow in a couple of days.

Today I am writing about a very fun and lively event I attended last weekend in Mumbai. And if you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you must be knowing already that it was for CloseUp India. 10 Delhi bloggers including me were flown to Mumbai for attending the launch of Closeup Diamond Attraction toothpaste and be a part of a very interesting Bloggers Meet.

And as it was the first time I was visiting Mumbai, I was really excited to be a part of the same. We landed in Mumbai on Saturday and were driven to our hotel which was located right next to the Juhu Beach which I later visited with my fellow bloggers before we got ready to attend the event.

The event was organized at Bungalow 9 which is a very lively and beautiful fine dining restaurant located in Bandra. The event started with all of the bloggers being given sashes with titles to match their personalities, and I had received the title - Insta SmartyPants. Later the lovely host Khushboo played some interactive games with us that let us mingle and have fun.

Post that a beautiful dance was presented whose highlights were the laser lights used before the dancers revealed the revolutionary new toothpaste - Closeup Diamond Attraction.

Hey lovely readers!
Hope you all are doing well and enjoying reading the latest reviews.
A couple of weeks back I was invited over for an interesting Stylists and Bloggers Meet by Latin Quarters, held at their exclusive store at DLF Promenade Mall, Delhi.

We also styled our favorite looks from the brand's latest collection and participated in a fun Twitter contest.
Here are the pictures of my summer look with Latin Quarters -
