Secret Temptation Desire Body Spray – Own Your Temptation

August 2, 2018

Secret Temptation Desire

I’m every woman, it’s all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z…..

I can cast a spell, of secrets you can tell
Mix a special brew, put fire inside of you
Anytime you feel danger or fear
Then instantly I will appear ’cause

I’m every woman, it’s all in me..

Yes, I am every woman. I am proud of my femininity. Proud of my indomitable spirit. Proud of rising liking a phoenix every time I am pushed down. Proud of dreaming big. Proud of my desires. Proud of owning my temptation.

A few days back there was an event in Kolkata that saw the launch of a new brand identity of Secret Temptation from the house of McNROE with the tagline “Own Your Temptation“. The tagline was chosen because the brand wants to encourage and empower people to pursue their temptations. To not be intimated and work towards achieving their dreams till it becomes part of their identity.

I like the tagline. More so as a woman because owning our temptation is not something we are encouraged to do in our society. Women have to be submissive. Women have to be satisfied with very little. Women cannot pursue their goals aggressively but women have to support their men while they do that. Women have to be selfless. Women cannot have desires. Women have to be this. Women have to be that etc etc. These absurd archaic stereotypes need to be demolished. Women can be whoever they want to be. And it is time the world wakes up to women chasing their desires, their temptations.

On a personal note, I have always believed in doing exactly what I wanted and working hard for it. From proving my worth in a financial organisation with an arts background to sustaining a blog for the last six years without having any writing or blogging experience whatsoever. For me, owning my temptation means never having any regrets because at one point everything that I’d do would be exactly what I’d wanted 🙂

Desire, the new fragrance from Secret Temptation is created for the woman who is confident, passionate and is not afraid of expressing her desire to achieve what she wants. A new entry into Secret Temptation’s existing range of perfumed body sprays, Desire is an intoxicating fragrance of Turkish roses, germanium and musk. The fragrance is feminine, elegant, sensual and super-wearable.

Desire is priced at Rs 210/– for 150 ml.

5 MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour Swatches

January 1, 2018

Happyyyy New Year pretty people!! Did you have a great celebration last night? I sure did chilling at home eating good food, drinking wine, and spending time with my family :). And today, so far, I am doing exactly the same things and loving it! I have a lot of hope for 2018 and I wish you all the very best of everything this year. It is said that if you start off a new year doing things you love, you will do it all through so here I am doing something I love. Blogging. And writing about something I love. Lipsticks. Specifically, MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolours. I have written about them multiple times on the blog and if you have read this post, you will know that they were one of my favorite liquid lipsticks of 2017.

MAC Retro Matte Lipcolour

I really like the MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour formula now. When they were first launched, the formula was very drying but the brand has changed it up a bit since then and now it is a lot better. Excellent pigmentation, a flat matte finish and very good staying power are the reasons why I advocate these liquid lipsticks. And I also like the color palette. From neutral to dark colors, there’s something for everyone and it is also fun to mix and match. You can mix as many colors as you want to create your unique shade, you can do ombre lips and you can also them as eye shadow and blush.

I recently added five shades to my kitty thanks to MAC. Well, actually four because one shade I had already but I included that as well. So here goes.

Geelee Mitti – Pure Essential Oils For Beauty & Wellness

July 10, 2017

Recently I got introduced to the brand Geelee Mitti started by an entrepreneur from Kolkata, Sonia Kapur. I met Sonia last month and we got talking about beauty and wellness, her inspiration to start Geelee Mitti and of course her products. Sonia is a firm believer in the properties of essential oils and the fact that natural ingredients work best on the skin and hair. This led her to experiment with various herbs and flowers and come up with a collection of pure, therapeutic essential oils.

GKhair Global Keratin Hair Taming System – My Experience

June 14, 2017

We love to do a lot of things to our hair. We love to experiment with colors, chemical treatments, hair styling products etc. While all of this no doubt makes us look good, the fact of the matter is that our hair suffers in the process. Keratin which is the essential component of our hair tends to deplete over time due to age and also due to these chemical services. And that gives rise to all our hair related woes. Dryness, frizz, lack of shine, brittle hair etc etc. How do you get this keratin or protein back to your hair? Through a Keratin Hair Treatment and that is what I received a few days back thanks to GKhair.

GKhair is a manufacturer of salon professional hair care products and keratin hair treatments and they have been doing this for the last 10 years. This year is the 10th anniversary of the brand and to celebrate, they organised a ‘Keratin Day’ at Head Turners Salon & Spa in Kolkata last week. I met the GKhair team that day, got to know about keratin, how the treatment works on the hair, what are the do’s and don’ts after the treatment, etc. Here’s a guide to help you out.
