My Summer Rescue

Incase you noticed..or even if you didn't, let me inform you that I'm writing after a REALLY long time. The reason you ask?..I was doing (a month long) fieldwork, no wait.. INTENSE fieldwork!..My working conditions were super harsh. This post therefore is a dedication to that one product which helped me come out of it, well for the lack of a good word..like myself ! Otherwise I would've been a clear case of before & after, where the before is all fair n pretty and the after is dark/toasted/roasted and oh SO mean !..

So no points for guessing that I went to an area with soaring temperatures !..I was in Ludhiana, studying industrial migrant labor. Had to roam around from slum to slum, find people, convince them to talk to us and take a 10 pg long survey sitting in their house..yup..thats what i did..for a month !.. I know what you must be thinking..for a person who writes about.. well whatever it is I write about..don't wanna stereotype it..this is the most unexpected job ..right?..Yea thats what I thought too.. But I'm glad I proved myself wrong and did it pretty well..and YES.. what a BRILLIANT learning experience it was ! Its great when your life is a mixture of all experiences sweet n sour !(in retrospect offcourse.. ;) )

Anyway, the product I was talking about is the LIGHT daily moisturiser by Garnier with SPF15.

Garnier products have always suited my skin and frankly this is EXACTLY what I wanted: a daily moisturiser with a small dose of SPF, so before leaving I just decided to pick it up. And TRUST ME the new brand ambassador, Ms Priyanka Chopra had nothing to do with it..I hate that woman! (much on that in later posts)

The small bottle was just to see if its good enough. This one with 18g costed  Rs 78...It cant get cheaper than this i'm sure..LOL..

What I liked: Smells good, fine-easy-to use texture,non greasy, EFFECTIVE for 4-5 hours, small & easy to carry, easily available
What I don't Like: NOTHING..its perfect !

Tip: For optimal coverage, I suggest keeping this as base and applying a little of Maybelline BB cream over it..Flawless face to be outdoors in the summer ! :)


Love
