If you are looking for an everyday pink nail paint If you are looking for an everyday pink nail paint then you have to pick up the @spektacosmetics Gel Nail Polish in the shade Earned It. This is a deep, dusty rose pink that will flatter so many Indian skin tones and is suitable to wear to work too. Also the formula is opaque in even one coat (although I prefer 2 coats), does not chip for 5-6 days, and has a beautiful shine that I love. They also have a ton of other colours in this range that you can try out if you are not a pink lover. These are priced at INR 250 each and you can get an additional 15% off with my coupon code MRI15 on all orders worth INR 500 or more.

Head over to spektacosmetics.com to buy. Direct link is in the bio!

I have to admit, bath products rarely ever excite I have to admit, bath products rarely ever excite me because everything seems quite similar to something else in the market. However the @bliscent Strawberry and Shea Butter Body Polish is truly unique and managed to excite me with its texture and formulation!

First of all, if you remember gritty nightmares when you think of sugar and walnut scrubs, let me tell you that this body polish is nothing like the rest. It is firm but squishy in the tub (oddly satisfying) and when you spread it on your skin, it literally offers the gentlest exfoliation I have experienced with a physical scrub. It is a super fine and soft scrub that will remove the dead skin from your body without being harsh. Also, the presence of Shea butter, olive oil and almond oil helps to moisturize the skin. The strawberry extracts impart the scent of strawberry candy which is delicious and lingers on the skin for a few hours.

Overall, I loved this body polish to bits and using it is a luxurious experience, true to the brand's claim of offering luxury skincare. 

Do give it a try if you are in the market for a body scrub or polish.  Use coupon code MRINALINI10 for a discount!

A quick update on the @drsheths sunscreen after te A quick update on the @drsheths sunscreen after testing it out for a week. This is a mineral or physical sunscreen with 25% Zinc Oxide. Has SPF53 and PA++++

Pros-
✔️Beautiful light-weight and matte finish. Doesn't feel heavy on the skin at all.

✔️Absolutely no pilling!

✔️Provides a smooth and matte canvas for makeup

✔️Is water and sweat proof aka perfect for summer (requires double cleansing for removal at night)

✔️Absolutely no fragrance.

Cons-
Has a visible white cast and clings to dry patches, acne, and facial hair.

Personally, I will wear it when I am at home or under makeup because of the white cast. Absolutely adore the finish of this one and if Dr. sheth's can bring out tinted versions of this formula, it can be a game changer for the Indian sunscreen market!!! Let's hope that the brand is listening 😬

Use coupon code MRINALINI for 20% off!

I'm loving these products from @minty_herbs in the I'm loving these products from @minty_herbs in the Pune heat these days!

The Minty Herbs Green Tea Toner contains green tea, aloe and witch hazel extracts that help to calm down acne. It also cools my skin after being out in the sun and I like to use it on both my face and back! Helps to reduce back acne too!

The Raspberry Watermelon Facial  Gelly Cream contains aloe extracts as well as jojoba and argan oil, along with raspberry and watermelon extracts. It is hydrating and moisturizing and cools down the skin too. 

I spritz the toner and then slather the cream on all exposed parts of my skin after being out in the sun and it leaves my skin calm and hydrated. Do try these out if you were looking for something similar!

P.S. - Both the products contain essential oils, patch test recommended.

This what you will see if you take a quick peek in This what you will see if you take a quick peek inside the @herbalme.in Cassamla Hair Oil. Fascinating, isn't it? This light weight yet nourishing blend of oils and herbs ensure optimal scalp health without feeling heavy or greasy. It prevents hair breakage too by strengthening each strand from within. Moreover, it encourages faster hair regrowth, making your hair look more voluminous! This is definitely a hair oil I see myself repurchasing over the years to come. Do try it if you are looking for something to pamper your scalp and hair.

The reason I love @simpleskincareindia is that tru The reason I love @simpleskincareindia is that true to its name, it is really simple and easy to layer with any actives I may be trying out. Plus it's light on the pocket too, which is always a plus 😄 Here is a quick review of three products from the brand that I am trying recently.

1. Simple Moisturising Facial Wash - A gentle sls free face wash with a mild lather that cleanses my face well on no makeup days. The refreshing variant from the brand seems slightly more refreshing to me while this one is more soothing. Otherwise they are pretty similar.

2. Simple Soothing Facial Toner - A basic hydrating toner with Hyaluronic Acid and Allantoin. It is soothing on the skin and feels like water. A good pick if you are looking for a Hydrating and pH balancing toner.

3. Simple Hydrating Light Moisturizer - A gentle blend of fatty alcohols to moisturize the skin. This one feels creamy while blending and leaves a dewy finish on the skin for the first few minutes after which it settles to a very minimal sheen. A good option for those with normal to oily skin. 

Hope this mini review was useful for you guys. Do use the link in the bio if you are planning to purchase any of these products.

Thank you so much for all your kind wishes today! Thank you so much for all your kind wishes today! I cherish each one of them. To be honest, turning 30 sounded quite daunting when I was younger but today I feel as young or old as I did when I was 25, albeit a bit wiser and more confident to handle the curveballs life throws at us. I guess age is just a number!
Anyway, here's hoping that our virtual fam grows to newer heights this year 🤗🧿 I am blessed to have each one of you 💗
