I received the 2% Alpha Arbutin Depigmentation Serum from PHD and have been using it consistently for a little over a month, applying it once a day as suggested. My focus was straightforward: a few lingering dark spots from older breakouts, uneven tone around the nose, and mild tanning that never seemed to fade completely even with regular skincare. The first thing I noticed was the texture. The serum is lightweight, almost watery, and absorbs quickly without leaving behind a

We received the Blurre Pudding Blush from Luxiora Cosmetics for review and tested it over a few days. The texture is the first thing you notice about the blush. It feels soft when you press into the pan, but it doesn’t stay creamy on the skin. Once applied, it spreads out thinly and settles quickly. There’s no dragging, and it doesn’t move around after blending. The shade looks loud in the pan but reads much softer on the face. A light tap gives a fresh pink flush rather than

Grey root touch-ups have long been associated with salon visits, long processing times, and permanent colour commitment. A growing category of hair makeup is now changing that equation, offering temporary solutions designed for speed, ease, and everyday use. Truth & Hair’s Root Touch-Up Hair Mascara enters this space with a crayon-based format aimed at instant grey coverage without traditional hair colouring processes. Priced at Rs 750, the Root Touch-Up Hair Mascara is posit

REFINE Beauty has introduced a new line of everyday makeup products that focus on ease, versatility, and design-led appeal. Launched in 2024 by Firdose Ghauri and Mahima Kotwal, the brand positions makeup as something to be used intuitively rather than followed through rigid routines. The current range includes three core product categories: lip balms, lip-and-cheek tints, and blush-highlighter sticks. All products are designed for Indian skin tones and built around multi-use

LEAFOBERRYY has launched Mucin Fusion Face Serum, a plant-based hydration formula positioned as a vegan alternative to traditional snail mucin products. The serum focuses on moisture retention, skin comfort, and texture support, using botanical ingredients known for their binding and cushioning properties. The key ingredient in the formulation is okra extract, a plant-derived mucilage that naturally binds water and creates a soft, plump feel on the skin. Often associated with

Every December, something small begins to shift in salons. It usually starts with a quick conversation, a picture saved from Instagram, or someone walking in saying, “It’s Christmas… do something fun.” What follows is almost never just a manicure. Festive nails have slowly grown into a tiny ritual of their own, something people look forward to as the year wraps itself up. The colours change first. Reds become brighter, whites turn frostier, greens look deeper than they do at

There’s something almost meditative about watching a Korean woman go through her evening routine. The movements are slow but certain: a pump, a pat, and a pause. Steam curling from a basin, the faint scent of green tea, the quiet patience and care performed without rush. Such care is not vanity; it’s habit, and it’s how generations in Korea have ended their day by following a ritual that feels closer to rest than routine. What the rest of the world calls K-beauty began here,
