BEST BEAUTY BUYS OF 2010

Well, I must say that 2010 was quite a year as it triggered and resulted in the much needed transformation in me from blindly using the products at the dressing table to keenly taking interest in the beauty products and brands to indulge in. It would be nothing but unfair if I do not give enough credit to my job as a journalist that has only added to my knowledge of the beauty industry. So here I am going to pick my top-9 products of the year which I absolutely love and honestly, cannot do without!!!



1.L’OCCITANE Shea Butter Hand Cream- This is the product that sells like hot cakes at L’Occitane stores. So shy not, and get one for yourself and get blessed with nourished and moisturized hands. Besides you admiring your own silky and smooth hands, your guy too won’t let go of them that easy :p
Price: 1500
Available at: Select City Walk Mall, New Delhi


















2. INGLOT Eye Liner- For a person like me who wouldn’t even mind sleeping with the liner on (alarm!that’s quite a sin)-it is a must. The liner does not smudge and stays in place right from morning till you have made your way home. The black shade of the liner is just perfect to get those enchanting eyes.
Price: 650
Available at: Select City Walk Mall, New Delhi

























3.MAYBELLINE Expert Wera Quad Eye Shadow- It is smooth, it is effective. To top it all- this palette has all colors which are my favorite ones for the eyes as they blend well with my skin tone. So wear it either during the day or the night but make sure that you do get your hands on it sooner than later as it is among those rare products which do not fade that easy.
Price: 240
Available at: Leading Departmental Stores


4. L'Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 Shampoo- It does come to one’s respite particularly if one is suffering from varying hair woes. It wonderfully helps to repair and strengthen the hair’s fibre and smoothen its surface. This shampoo was a welcome change in my beauty regime.

It isn’t one of those for which you have to pay through your nose as the shampoo can be picked off the shelf at quite a meager price.
Price: 130
Available at: Leading Departmental Stores


















5. KIEHL'S Icy Everest Lip Gloss- The tube says it loud and clear-Unusually Creamy, Yet Light, Sheer And Glossy. This handy beauty boon for those luscious lips should be bought and simply stashed into your make-up kitty. You would be elated to notice how this gloss can glamorize the whole idea of a quick touch-up when one is pressed for time.


Price: 700

6. THE BODY SHOP Wild Cherry Body Scrub- Gifts mostly do bring a smile, don’t they?My reaction was no different when I received this with a few other goodies from my cousin in Australia. I have always been a fan of The Body Shop stuff at home but this is the one that I refused to share with my mum and sis. This scrub gives your bath a makeover of sorts. You come out feeling refreshed and rejuvenated and not to miss that subtle scent which is absolutely overwhelming. It is undoubtedly an excellent exfoliating scrub that removes dead skin cells with ease.
Price: 745
Available at: Select City Walk Mall, New Delhi

























7. LOTUS HERBALS Colour Dew White Nail Paint- This is a color that seldom goes out of fashion. I wear it both in winters and summers and trust me, it always proves to be a safe bet. So take to it as the paint is natural and dries real quick, i.e. good news for all women who put their nail paint always in a rush. Now, just get set to experience the white magic!
Price: 95
Available at: Leading Departmental Stores

























8. MARKS & SPENCER White Peach and Almond Hand & Nail Cream- I completely adore it. The fragrance is so romantic that you can’t stop yourself from falling in love with it. For me-it is a ritual to apply this cream every night before I call it a day! This cream is never given a miss even when I am on a traveling spree.
Price: 295
Available at: DLF Place Mall, New Delhi

























9. TATHAASTU Yummy Chocolate Body Scrub- How I wish, I could taste it! Yes, believe me, you would actually feel the urge to binge- the moment you get your eyes on it. It looks quite like crumbled chocolate cake. Well, pamper your body with this scrub and gift yourself a younger and smoother skin.
Price: 1499
