Initio Parfums Prives released its brand new fragrance Oud for Happiness recently and I am so thrilled to get my hands on this gorgeous bottle.

How to keep your hands looking young for longer?

on

Whether it is about scrubbing dishes or wearing a solitaire ring, our hands always catch attention. Most of us work really hard to look youthful by using anti-ageing products for our face, covering our greys, and getting haircuts that make our face look a few years younger. We often forget our hands that are always working so hard and need some extra TLC to get on top of the game. If we neglect our hands, they will reflect our true age and sometimes may make us look even older than our actual age. Most people start noticing the ageing of their hands in their 40s. However, it is never too late to start taking good care of our hands by exfoliating, moisturizing, and protecting….

Hyaluronic Acid – Why do we need it?

on

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a gooey substance that is naturally produced by our body and can be found in our connective tissues, eyes, and skin. The main function of Hyaluronic Acid is to retain water to keep your tissues well lubricated and moist. It is responsible for that plump and hydrated look of the skin. As we age, the amount of moisture in our body decreases making us more susceptible to wrinkles and sagging. This is why some people take oral supplements, topical creams, hyaluronic serum, or even injections.

You might think eating a healthy balanced diet and sleeping for at least eight hours every night would help with the eye bags and would depuff the eyes, then you may be wrong. I’m not saying these methods won’t help but there are other factors as well that contribute to the puffy appearance of eyes. …

Banana Republic Icon Collection – Metal Rain & Grassland

on

You might know Banana Republic as a clothing brand from the United States. They’re a part of The GAP, Inc. The brand also makes fragrances that are quite affordable fragrances and value for money. They’re easy to find in the UK now. I feel Banana Republic Fragrances are quite mass-appealing. If you want to smell like Niche fragrances but don’t have a budget for them, I highly recommend checking out Banana Republic Fragrances. They smell way more expensive for the price and the presentation is no less than modern niche houses either.
