Review - Huts and Looms, Sustainable and Pure Handwoven Saree

 I love wearing Indian ethnic wear on special occasions or festivals. A Saree is one of my favourite ethnic attire to wear during Puja or family get-togethers. Again in sarees, I have a soft corner for handloom sarees. The beauty and feel of these handwoven slow crafted  sarees are truly mesmerizing. It was Durga Puja time and Diwali is also approaching in few days, hence I thought to buy a beautiful handloom saree to celebrate all these festivals with extra joy.  Huts and Looms Tissue Silk Saree  In case you are wondering what a handloom saree is, then let me tell you in brief.

Just Herbs Herb Enriched Skin Tint - Review and Swatches

Today we will discuss about the herb enriched skin tint by brand Just Herbs .. I have received this in one of my fab bags.  This is going to be my first product from the brand.. Till now I have applied this couple of times. I don't prefer to put makeup on everyday basis..  I apply foundation only on very special ocassion, otherwise bb cream or cc cream is fair enough for me.. On daily basis I only apply my moisturizer and loose powder . I have used before the oriflame skin tint and quite like it... Skin tint is not heavy like foundation and you can't expect heavy coverage from them.. Skin tint is more like bb/cc creams which only give you a sheer coverage with little glow.  The formula seems very good to me, let's see how fair it is on my skin... PRICE - Rs 1020/- for 40gm. (I have the sample size)  SHELF LIFE - 3years from mfg.  INGREDIENTS - There are so many ayurvedic ingredients in it.. The letters are too small that I need a magnifying g...
