Bidding adieu to the festivities, I can finally claim some ‘me time’ to tune back into a normal life frequency. And what’s better to have it than hanging around with your squad,  feeding yourself with all the fun and giggles over good food and everything positive?

The Pearl Mask from SEPHORA Collection was an impulsive buy while I waited in a long queue at the checkout counter.

For the price it retails for (INR 400 per mask sheet) it ought to do me some good. This mask is supposed to be for perfecting and brightening. I definitely noticed a...
