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 […]

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 […]

Elegant, radiant and quietly intoxicating - Elie S Elegant, radiant and quietly intoxicating - Elie Saab Le Parfum is the fragrance I’ve been wearing on repeat since the last one week. 

A beautifully feminine fragrance that opens with a burst of creamy white florals and a hint of sweetness from honey. As it settles down, the gorgeous jasmine comes centre stage with a bit of woodiness. Very “old money” vibes, it smells way more expensive than it actually is. 

Picture a quietly confident, sophisticated lady who knows her worth, dresses with refined elegance and doesn’t need to clamour for attention - this would be her perfect signature scent. Might be a bit too mature for someone in their 20s but then again, fragrance is subjective. 

Crafted by master perfumer @franciskurkdjian_official , Elie Saab Le Parfum is perfectly gives an olfactory representation of the elegance and timeless glamour of @eliesaabworld designs . 

Top note: African Orange Flower
Middle note: Jasmine
Base notes are White Honey, Patchouli, Rose and Virginia Cedar.

Dressed up in my interpretation of “Iced Cafe Latt Dressed up in my interpretation of “Iced Cafe Latte” for the launch of @typsybeauty’s dessert-inspired matte lip balms - Pout Cloud. 

These ceramide enriched lip balms are hydrating, yet give a matte finish and leave a lasting stain on the lips.

2016 - a walk down memory lane! I had loads more 2016 - a walk down memory lane! 

I had loads more hair on my head and far fewer kilos on my body. The boys were 10 and 6 and gave me as many hugs and kisses as I wanted. 

Collaborated with some amazing brands like @oppoindia & @bbluntindia, visited the @facebook office, had my home renovated (and brought to reality my vision of an all white bedroom), wore a lot of jumpsuits (coz I was way slimmer), and had fun family trips including celebrating hubby’s 40th getting drenched under waterfalls! 

The lipstick that I wore nearly all year (and the year after that) was @colourpopcosmetics Baracuda - the PERFECT brown lipstick ever. Also wore a lot of red lipstick with winged liner, but most of the times it was Baracuda. 

Had my fan-girl moments when I met @iambobbydeol ,  @rampal72 and @authoramish . 
 
Of course the year had its challenges but I’m not going to speak about those. They made me stronger and wiser.

From wish list to collection; the first fragrance From wish list to collection; the first fragrance of 2026 is luminous, intoxicating & addictive - just how I hope the year is for me. ✨

Gold Immortals Extrait de Parfum from @exnihiloparis is a fragrance I became obsessed with after using the travel size of the EDP (this one is the Extrait). So happy to add this beauty to my fragrance collection. 

A gorgeous creation by @jordi_perfumer, it is a beautifully blended, silky creation that’s juicy, floral and amber. Perfect for the cooler months or date nights, it is very intoxicating. The longevity also makes it a great choice for brides & grooms or even for wedding guests. 

The EDP is a bit juicier and more luminous while the Extrait is denser and more ambery but both are absolutely stunning! 

Top notes: Bergamot and Pear
Middle notes: Peony and Lysylang
Base notes: Amber, Tonka Bean and Vanilla.

Try it out at @mdpindofficial ✨
