M.A.C. Haul

The few weekends ago I was under the weather and decided to do so shopping :P and landed at the MAC store and bought a few things to cheer myself :)

M.A.C Haul 

I had consulted Rati some time back to buy a foundation which is easy to use and suitable to my combination oily skin. She had suggested me to try the MAC Studio fix compact. 

MAC Studio fix compact

Its the most convenient foundation that I have ever come across. Its so hand and can be used anytime anywhere. Easy to carry in my bag. Its cost is Rs. 1600/-.

MAC Paint Pot - Rubenesque 

This is the must for eye makeup. It not only brightens the color however even makes a base so that no creasing occurs. Rebenesque is such a beautiful shimmery color that I have used it to give a shimmery effect to the eyes. Its cost is Rs. 1100/-

MAC Tinted Lip Conditioners

This was a splurge... I picked 2 Tinted Lip Conditioners in Plum Perfect & Petting Pink. They have a perfect creamy consistency. Not too much neither too less, just as much as needed. I like this product as it keeps my lips moisturized with a dash of color. Both these colors suits the Indian Complexion. Its cost is Rs. 870/- each.

MAC 217 

I have no word to describe this one. Its a multipurpose brush. Its applies as well as blends the eyes colors beautifully. I could not resist picking up two brushes. You can check the review for this here by Rashmi. Its cost is Rs. 1100/- each.

Kaya Everyday Radiance

The other day I went to Kaya to try their “Everyday Radiance Facial”.

This is what Kaya says :

Kaya Everyday Radinace is a unique system of regular skin maintenance that understand your skin’s need and ensures that your skin looks radiance everyday and not just occasionally. After all, who says beauty needs an invitation.

How does it work??

STEP 2: Customised Service

Based on your skin needs, our dermatologists will suggest the best service combination for you, The service is based in the three mantaras – Exfoliation, Hydration and Nourishmnet. These combinations of services are further accompanied with special soothing masks. In depth care once a month is what your skin needs.

STEP 3 : Holistic Solution

Along with the services, our dermatologists will suggest a home care regime including diet and products suitable to your skin.

Environmental conditions and the natural cycle of skin regeneration dentmand constant attention to skincare. At Kaya we understand this and recommend a Skin Health Check every 3 months to make sure your skin is getting what it deserves.

The moment you step into the Kaya Clinics you feel as if you are inside a spa. The whole environment inside is very soothing and relaxed. They offer a Kaya Drink as you wait for your attendant. As I have oily and two tone skin, I was advised the Firming Peel-Off Mask. The cost of the Kaya Everyday Radiance Facial is ` 2206/- however I had a discount and it cost me ` 999/-. My whole experience at Kaya was very nice. They have well trained staff and they listen to what your problems are and accordingly provide solutions for your skin.
