Wild Ferns New Zealand Rejuvenating Hand Creme

I got a 7m.l sample of this hand cream. It's non-greasy and you need only a pea size amount to moisturize your both hands. 

Epique Intensive Revitalising Eye Formula : 

It claims to reduce dark circles, puffiness and wrinkles, though it is formulated for mature skin I couldn't resist using it.  In just 3 uses it visibly reduced my almost 8 yrs old dark circles.  It does wonder and whoever has a problem with dark circles or any under eye problem must give this product a try...

L’Occitane En Provence Angelica Hydra Vital Cream :

I got two 1.5 ml sachet of this moisturizer. I am not good at taking care of sachets, yet trying to keep the rest after one usage. It's light weight and easily absorbs to skin and provides 48hrs of hydration.

Givenchy Play Intense for her :

This sample won my heart. LOved this fragrance and might be reviewing it soon 

Along with this I got a Givenchy Eye Makeup Voucher which I won't be able to use since there's no outlet in Kolkata but apart from that loved my August Envy Box... :)

The other half of the society. ..

While going to work or just hanging out with friends we often ignore some fellow human beings who sits at the sidewalk begging for some food or just sleeping on a torn piece of clothes or maybe nothing.  We make our way through the sidewalk and proceed to our destination,  sometimes irritated if we are running late.  But have we ever taken the trouble of going through their minds,  feeling what they might be possibly feeling? Well I did... n I'll tell you what I've felt... The lady who was sitting at the sidewalk with her crying baby in lap the other day when I was coming back from a dinner with my sister, yes I went through her mind,,, she was hungry as hell, having nothing to eat in the last few days,  she was desperate to feed her baby.  And that old lady I come across everyday while coming back from office,  have I seen her shivering during the winter?  There are thousands of them out there...thousands of hungry, cold, homeless people for whom we give a damn... why do we care if they are starving death or shivering through the night?  I'll tell you why should we care... cause we are human beings and we SHOULD CARE about the other half of the society. ..
In a city like Kolkata we often have to think twice before dropping some coins in front of them... and we all know why... we all are aware of the begger association, and the well known fact about using cocaine to put young kids to sleep and using them to get our sympathy. ..
 So are we going to overlook all of them and let them die even if they aren't part of any of these?  We can't. ..
The other day when I saw that woman while coming back from dinner with my sister, we were carrying the excess food with us which my sister intended to give to an old lady who sits in front of her place, I tried to convince my sister that this woman looks much more needy, and that many of the students from her university help the old lady. The fact that there are other people to think about the old lady made it easy to make our mind , we had food for only one people,  and we gave the food to the woman with the baby,  and you should have seen the gratitude in her eyes... but what about the other days?  It's not possible  for me to visit that place everyday. . Does that mean she has to starve the other nights?  Why can't the other people who dine at that restaurant pack the excess food and give it to her instead of wasting it? Or why does the old people have to shiver through the night? I can only give my spare winter clothes to one old lady,what about the others?
Can't you give away ur spare clothes,  the ones that you don't wear anymore to some of the other half of the society while, or may be taking only the amount you can eat to your plate and pack the excess food for them the next time you dine out,  can't you do this little for them?

Neutrogena Rainbath Refreshing Shower and Bath Gel Review

Received my Neutrogena rain bath sample yesterday and it really satisfied my crave for refreshing smell.

The refreshing smell gave me a quick relief after a hell lot of day. Plus it is nourishing and feels good after taking shower. If you are looking for something refreshing then this shower gel is a must have.

It is also nourishing and the skin feels good after taking shower...

VLCC Anti Tan Face Wash Review

VLCC Anti Tan Face Wash Review

I've got a very much sensitive skin which is a curse to my. I can never experiment, never try new products. So this one time my face wash is finished and am not getting it in the store. Two days without a face wash an my skin has got pimples. My room mate then recommended me VLCC anti tan face was. I was afraid to try it but i had to, so keeping my allergy meds i used it, and to my wonder, my skin loved it. I was afraid because my whenever I try anything sun protective I get allergy which stays for months. So let alone sunscreen I can't even use day cream. But this anti tan face wash worked wonder. All my tans vanished in a week. So much so that the next day after trying it I bought the VLCC ANti TAn Scrub along with the face wash. And I'm about to change my brand as well. 

 This face wash with kiwi fruit is enriched with ayrvedic products and is worth a try.

Price : 95 rs

Keep along with the Ati Tan Scrub review.

A Visit to Ooty

The last place I visited was Ooty. It was a family trip, my mom, dad and sister. My sister was staying at Chennai that time. It was February, 2012. We enjoyed a lot in the chilling weather. Went boating, surfing, enjoyed the home-made chocolates. I wanted to visit the woods where d movie Raaz1 was shot, but then i came to know that d movie was actually shot in Bangalore. We went to the tea factory and bought a lots of home-made tea packs. The chocolate tea was to die for, I wish I had bought some more of those. Anyway I wish to visit Ooty once again but this time I wish to go Mysore along with that.
