Cucumber, Guaïac Wood, Sandalwood

If you are into warm and woody fragrance – This candle and fragrance are the perfect option for you. It actually reminds me of old books, the faint eucalyptus note and Cedarwood along with cypress and amber makes it very woody.

4. Slip Silk Peach Eye Mask

YOU MIGHT NOT BE A MOVIE STAR BUT YOU CAN STILL sleep LIKE ONE !Traditional pillowcases don’t slip, causing damage to hair and delicate facial skin. #Slipsilk pure silk peach sleep mask. Slip Silk allows your skin to glide, whereas cotton scratches and tugs on delicate facial skin, resulting in premature stretching and sleep-crease. Cotton also dries out your skin and hair. It even twists your hair at the root as you sleep, which causes bed head in the short term and can damage your hair in the long term. Synthetic satin is a poor petroleum based substitute for real silk. This one is a dream!

5. Instytutum Anti Wrinkle Brightening Serum 

It’s a powerful multitasking serum is a silky formula that is infused with rejuvenating vitamin B3 and stable time-released vitamin C to visibly diminish the appearance of dark spots and wrinkles. It improves firmness, wrinkles and pores as well as brightens the complexion. Skin is immediately intensely hydrated and rejuvenated. Appropriate for all skin types. If you are looking for a daily serum that helps get rid of hyper pigmentation or marks/spots left from acne on your face. This is it. I am really surprised by its results.

6) Shesha Naturals Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

The main difference between regular coconut oil and virgin coconut oil lies in their processes of extraction. While the former is extracted by cold compression or cold milling of Copra (another name for dried Coconut kernels) with a moisture content of around six percent, the latter is extracted from the coconut milk obtained from fresh coconuts. Thereafter, using processes such as fermentation, churning (centrifugal separation), refrigeration, and the action of enzymes, the oil is separated from the water or moisture. However, in the case of virgin coconut oil, the raw materials and the process of extraction should not allow any involvement of heat.

  • Shesha Naturals Cold Processed Extra VCO is extracted from fresh coconut milk without any chemical processes, it is the purest form of coconut oil, water white in color. What I really love about this is – It gets absorbed to skin real quick. Normal oils will be greasy on skin and take hours to get absorbed. Shesha Naturals Cold Processed Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is very very light weight and it instantly gets absorbed into skin.
  • Centrifuge Technology – Made using Centrifuge technology making it India’s Best VCO
  • ‘Absolutely No Heat’ involved in the process making it India’s best VCO.
  • VCO is free from tans fatty acid,high in medium chain fats(MCFA) or medium chain triglycerides(MCTs), known as Lauric acid which is identical to special group of fats found in human breast milk.
  • Best as edible oil (can be consumed raw), baby massage oil (Best selling coconut massage oil in India), Also can be used as a body moisturiser/ makeup remover/ hair oil

7) Commodity Bergamot Fragrance

Weekly Anti-Aging Treatment (2-3x/week)

Though this product is super expensive. It’s performance justifies its price. I totally love this. It’s Free from parabens, synthetic dyes, synthetic fragrances, gluten sulfates, petrolatum and mineral oils. Kat Burki Form Control Marine Collagen Gel is part of their Anti-Aging line.

The texture is very lightweight gel which is very hydrating on skin and is quickly absorbed by skin. Smell of cucumbers, very fresh and soothing.
