KAMA AYURVEDA FIRST IMPRESSION REVIEW

Kama Ayurveda as the name itself suggests is an Organic and Ayurvedic brand that is chemical and artificial fragrance free . Products from this brand were on my shopping list for such a long time ,  but due to its scarce availability online and limited retail outlets i had a hard time getting my hands on it . Ordered it last year in December from a renowned online website that delivers you a curated box of high end cosmetic brands every month , but still not aware what they have been doing with my order so far . No updates from their side . Highly disappointed !! You don't expect such irresponsible attitude from such renowned websites :(

So, I had to search online for Kama Ayurveda nearest retail counter and found out that Empire store at Chandigarh sector 17 is stocking some of their products . So , went to their store and picked some of Kama Ayurveda goodies right away :)

Products that i bought from Kama Ayurveda  :

1. Kama Ayurveda Bringadi Intense Oil Treatment 
2. Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Face Cleanser 
3. Kama Ayurveda Nimba Purifying Soap

KAMA AYURVEDA BRINGADI INTENSE HAIR OIL TREATMENT
                                                                 

Kama Ayurveda Bringadi oil claims to prevent hair loss , dandruff and premature greying . It also claims to provide natural conditioning to your hair post head wash with a mild shampoo on leaving it for at least thirty minutes into your hair.
I had used Bringadi oil for my hair earlier also but they were from other organic brands . Bringadi oils do have some strong smell but i prefer these over any other artificial fragrance oils in fancy bottles that do more harm than anything good to your hair . One just need to massage Brigandi oil in your scalp for good ten minutes with light hands and leave it for minimum half an hour and maximum 1 hour .Wash your hair after one hour as Bringadi oils contain really strong natural products that should not be kept for more than an hour . Kama Ayurveda Bringadi oil comes with a nozzle cap for easy flow of the product . It doesn't contain any artificial or chemical ingredients and smell is less strong as compared to the Bringadi Oils from other brands that i have used earlier . I skipped using conditioner after using this oil and it did conditioned them well as it claims on its cover . Lets see if it delivers more good results as it claims in the long run . Would be updating you on that too .

KAMA AYURVEDA ROSE JASMINE FACE CLEANSER 

Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine face cleanser claims to cleanse your skin gently with natural ingredients it contains . Ideal for removing light makeup from skin and contains Aloe Vera that helps in healing and smoothing of skin . Vetiver and block cumin in it have anti bacterial properties and Jojoba seed oil helps in skin softness , rejuvenation , minimizing fine lines and promoting skin suppleness . It contains essential oil of rose and jasmine that moisturizes skin and also reduce skin marks and scarring .

Kama Ayurveda rose and jasmine face cleaner comes in a round plastic bottle with a dispenser pump that brings out the right amount of product without any wastage . You just need two pumps of it for proper facial cleansing . Doesn't produce much lather and it has very mild rosy fragrance . I personally don't like rose and jasmine based products ( not a fan of their fragrance ) but the store only had rose and jasmine face wash so had to buy it and i am glad that i did . This face wash is really light on skin and doesn't stretches out your skin post wash . I have very sensitive skin when it comes to using face washes or moisturisers . So , i rarely risk to experiment with these two products for my skin . But this face wash has not caused any acne or pimple so far as i am using it for past one week . Its not at all harsh on skin and cleanses skin really well without drying it . These days i am not having any major skin issues so can't dictate whether it treats skin problems like acne or pimples or not but i can assure you that it doesn't invite any of these either . People with sensitive skin can go for it for sure .

KAMA AYURVEDA NIMBA PURIFYING SOAP 

Kama Ayurveda Nimba soap is a handmade Ayurvedic soap ideal for sensitive skin . To be honest i bought it thinking Nimba means lemon and i love lemon based products but actually this one is a Neem soap lol . Idea behind using soaps from Ayurvedic brands is to keep our skin free from harmful chemicals that generally non organic cosmetic soaps have but this soap from Kama Ayurveda contains chemical substances like caustic soda , sulphur and perfume and also TFM in it is 65% that declares it as a second category soap . To know about TFM read it HERE . It again disappoints with the way it smells . Totally a turn off when it comes to fragrance but if you have sensitive skin or other skin issues , you can use it for its medicinal properties . Otherwise i would not suggest you to go for it.

RATING  ( KAMA AYURVEDA )   :    4 / 5

I am quite happy with Kama Ayurveda Bringadi Oil and Rose Jasmine face cleanser so far and would be trying more products from this brand in future also .  Any more queries regarding the products above you can ask me in the comments section below or you can also mail me @nainika.mittal85@gmail.com

NEW LOOK FLORAL SKIRT

 

OOh la la !! this is what life sounds like these days . Finally i could say that i am in love with the way my life is turning around . February month started on a really good note .Got my blog adsense approved , getting my room reinvented and traveled all alone from Bangalore to Chandigarh for the first time . I know you must be thinking whats big deal in that but i must admit that these days I am making my every little achievement or happening in life count and a reason to celebrate . One thing that i learned from life is Stop Complaining . The day when we stop complaining about the little little things in life the whole world itself becomes ours . When we ourselves can't be perfect whether its our behavior with others , attitude with life , our habits , eating habits , our body , our daily routines then how can we expect life to be always perfect . I particularly feel life being perfect is somewhat boring . Little twist and turns in life makes it more fun and interesting . After a long dark night we value the morning sunshine and after a hot sunny day we feel the worth of cooling stars in the sky during night . So , don't expect life to be perfect but just embrace what it brings with open arms , if you don't like it , try to change it , fight for it and if you love whats happening celebrate it !! In the end every good or bad experience makes you grow wise . Isn't it :)

Now talking about the outfit this is the skirt that i truly adore because of its classic style and comfort . I guess every girl feels a very special bond with pleated skirts from the school days itself . I remember how i used to press my box pleated skirt every morning before going to school so that every single pleat should be neatly defined and tidy . I am glad that these midi box pleated skirts are back in trend again . I chose to buy it in a solid material that makes its pleats really manageable and it doesn't loose its creases whichever way you sit . Instead of pairing it with a single solid color top i paired it with a printed top this time . Although the top and skirt both are from different brands , bought at different times but still their prints compliment each other so well . Finished the whole look with a Black crepe blazer and some cute heels . Not to mention the cute little pouch that i bought from forever21 recently .

Hope you guys loved the way I styled this look and do share with me how would you have styled a similar skirt . Would love to hear from you :) till then keep stalking Nainazway  ;)

VALENTINES DAY GIFT GUIDE

Valentines day is just around the corner and I am here in Bangalore quite far away from my beau this time . Love is not just being together always but sometimes its more fun when you miss some one when away . It just makes you feel the need to be together again . We won't be celebrating Valentines Day together this time so I was thinking to send him a surprise gift online. Men have so many choices when it comes to surprise us with gifts but we girls stand bit hapless in this case when we have to choose gifts for our loved ones as choice is much restricted . But for boys from Shoes , Bags , Diamonds , Party dresses to beauty products or electronic gadgets they have plenty of options to choose from and make us happy but we are just left with things likes Watches , Sunglasses or some nice perfumes as gifts . And if you fall in my category when it comes to shopping i spend on myself so much that i am always bankrupt when it comes to choose a valuable gift for him . But smart shopping is always the solution So, here I am to help you choose that perfect gift online for him this Valentine without digging hole in your pocket . All the products that I sorted out here are under 4k .

Who would not love to groom himself with this awesome West Indian lime sampler gift box which contains a Lime cologne , Lime hair and body wash , Lime shave cream and an after shave balm from Crabtree and Evelyn and all these products come packed in a lime green patterned box . A perfect gift for your man I guess  :) Shop itHERE

Men love watches and Jabong has some awesome collection of men watches under 4k . I loved the River Island and Daniel Klien watches the most . They are so classy and I bet this could be a perfect gift for your darling for sure :)
Shop it HERE

This Versace pour homme eau de tollette is a perfect gift for that someone special . Smelling good is in your favour too so why not gift him this EDT from Versace which is priced around Rs. 5000 at most of the online sites but you can grab this one at Jabong just for Rs. 3239 . Shop it HERE

"Yes ! you are right .. I am a jabong fan ;)"

Last but not the least gift him and yourself a relaxing spa session together on this valentine at a salon of your choice. It may cost you bit more but the experience would be unforgettable .

TANGERINE LOVE

 

 

My Grand mom used to say that eat what you like but dress the way people like . Although I never followed any such rules in my life but still there are few people whom i pay heed to when i have to
pick clothes for myself . It used to be my Mom before and now its Mr. Husband but problem with both of us is that we never agree on the same choices . Most of the time we shop together and when we are shopping for him he really considers what i choose and likes it too but when it comes to shop for me we hardly have similar views about a particular style . Its good to wear what you personally like but sometimes you love to do things for your loved ones that make them happy. Isn't it like that ? and this time the sweater i am wearing here was totally his pick . I was hunting for a waist coat or a jacket but found him getting too upset with my monochrome picks every time and especially my love for blacks and greys . So, even i scrutinized a bit and found he is right . I really need to put a full stop on my love for black , greys and whites for sure . So i decided to go with what he chose for me but indeed styled it my way.

I was not sure with over sized jumpers as they look more good on skinny girls . But its always worth taking risks . Keeping the whole look very basic i layered my tangerine jumper with a striped shirt underneath and teamed it with very my really comfortable skinny jeans from Dorothy Perkins . My love for this brand is growing day by day but one thing that really bothers me is why don't they have my size shoes . Dorothy Perkins have some awesome choices with shoes this time on Jabong but my size which is size 40 is never available or I can say never on their size chart .Would be calling their customer care after doing this post for sure :) Anyways , talking about the tangerine jumper you can style it in many ways . Wear it with a skater skirt either in black or a floral one with sneakers for that cool and young girlie look . On an average day just team it with acid washed light blue denims and a nice pair of black or nude heals . Acid wash denims were my first choice to wear with this jumper but as they are absent in my wardrobe i chose to style it with pieces i already have with me .

So , let your loved ones pick clothes for you but do style them your way . Hope you loved how i styled this look and do share with me how you are going to style your look with a similar jumper :)
