Tadoba Jungle Camp – A Great Wildlife Resort for Families

Posted on 17/03/202317/03/2023by Dollie
Tadoba Jungle Camp review

Having lived in an urban, concrete jungle all my life, I am absolutely fascinated with the real jungle – one filled with plenty of flora and fauna – and hence, I try to take safari holidays at least once a year. This year, our destination was the Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve and we had a […]

Celebrating #SkinAwarenessMonth with Galderma

Posted on 12/08/202223/08/2022by Dollie

While I have always loved makeup, my biggest beauty passion has always been skincare. This passion was fuelled when, as a teen, I used to read French Elle and Vogue which had detailed articles on how to identify your skin type and the right products to use for it.  This was in the 90s, before […]

Dermafique Bio-Cellulose Face Masque – The Best Masks I’ve Ever Used!

Posted on 22/01/202102/06/2022by Dollie
Dermafique Bio-Cellulose Face Masque

Winter time is when I love to pamper my skin with masks; the heat and humidity of summers and monsoons are perfect for clay masks but the dry, cool weather of winters makes me bring out my Bio cellulose masks for my twice a week pampering session and some intense burst of hydration. Recently, I […]

2020 has been a difficult and challenging year for all of us with Covid keeping us all indoors and making us cancel all our travel plans. After nearly 8 months of being cooped up indoors, once the restrictions started easing up a bit, we decided to take a little holiday and after doing all my […]

✨When the bottle is a work of art and the fragra ✨When the bottle is a work of art and the fragrance, pure poetry…✨

Meet Ô Féminin by @parfumsmicallef - a fragrance that wraps around you like a soft silk scarf - warm, luminous, and oh-so-sophisticated. 

It opens with fresh, sparkling citruses and a whisper of florals with the neroli and orange blossom taking centre stage. After a while, the soft vanilla and musk come through and transforms into a creamy, soapy, slightly sweet  scent that’s elegant with just a hint of sensuality - like golden hour in a bottle. 

The sillage is moderate, but if someone comes close enough to get a whiff, the fragrance will certainly captivate them and leave them wanting more. I wish the longevity was better though; on my skin it lasts around 4-5 hours. 

Ô Féminin isn’t just a fragrance -  it’s a feeling. Feminine, radiant, and effortlessly elegant.

Top notes: bergamot, lemon, petitgrain, mandarin, pink pepper.
Heart: neroli, rose, jasmine.
Base: orange blossom absolute, sandalwood, musk, patchouli, vanilla.

Monsoons are my favourite season but there’s no Monsoons are my favourite season but there’s no denying that the humidity and “kabhi garmi kabhi baarish” does wreak havoc with my skin giving me clogged pores & unexpected breakouts. 

But thankfully, there are some amazing masks  that detox, clarify, and balance the skin and keep it behaving well. 

* @caudalieindia Instant Detox Mask - A luxurious clay-based formula that tightens pores and draws out deep-seated gunk in just 10 minutes - perfect for oily and congested monsoon skin.

* @innisfreeindia  Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask - Packed with Jeju volcanic clusters, this one deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and mattifies - a must-have if your skin gets extra shiny in humid weather and a favourite with my teenage boys. 

* @aminu.life Nordic Mud Mask - A multi-mineral, multitasking marvel that purifies, soothes, and strengthens your skin barrier - ideal for sensitive, inflamed skin that flares up during the rains.

I use these in rotation,  1–2 times a week to keep my skin fresh, balanced, and (mostly) breakout-free all season long! 

Which of these is your favourite?
