I am a big fan of lip stains, and currently, my favourite is the Fenty Poutsicle (to give you an idea, I rarely am able to finish a lip product before it expires but I finished this one!). I have heard so many great reviews about e.l.f's glossy stain; some even say that it beats Fenty. This lip stain promises a long-lasting, comfortable flush of colour to your lips. It's lightweight, non-drying and is super pigmented! Currently there are eight beautiful shades to choose from, and I'm leaning to buy Basic Beige or Spicy Sienna.

When it comes to lipstick formulae, I tend to worship Bobbi Brown because of how good it is. I'm a strictly matte lip person, but this lip tint completely changed that for me. I love their tint! It's long-lasting on the lips, comes in nine shades, is not at all sticky on the lips and gives a very hydrated glossed-up look without it looking tacky and 'chip-chip'.

My goal in life is to look like my sweat glands produce 24K gold. I am all for the dewy, dolphin skin trends this year has blessed us with, and I am not willing to cross over to the matte side of things any time soon. My year-end gift to myself is the original dewy skin gangster product, i.e. M.A.C.'s Strobe Cream, so I can be the physical manifestation of the highlight of everyone's life.

The onset of winter usually mean me changing my skincare routine drastically. My skin is super sensitive and gets very dry, and this oil is my go-to product to get rid of flaky skin. What I love about it is the fact that it doesn't make my face look greasy at all, rather it gets absorbed quickly. It can be used for your entire body, so I don't have to pick multiple products, which has also reduced the amount of products I have to use in the morning!

This powder from Charlotte Tilbury holds a non-negotiable place in my makeup routine. The finish does more than justice to the 'airbrush' description as it leaves a light whiff of powder on the face with a few sweeps. Being a finishing powder, it sets your makeup in place with a soft satiny veil of powder, unlike typical setting powders that leave the skin looking powder-y like a plastered wall. And since Pink Friday Sale is known for giving irresistible discounts on Charlotte Tilbury products!

I have dry and sensitive skin, so I do everything to keep my skin hydrated, be it summer or winter, and this shower cream is one of my go-to because it leaves my skin clean, soft and hydrated, so much so that I don't even feel the need to apply moisturiser afterwards (but, of course, I do).

I reside in Mumbai, and this serum-in-lotion works very well for me all year round. It gets absorbed very quickly in to the skin and is also very easy to layer with a moisturiser without feeling like you put too much on your face. I use it as a night-time serum.

With my sister getting married soon and 20,000 other people I know, I know that I am going to put on a lot of makeup and pose for a lot of pictures. And to make sure my makeup looks flawless, I'll be banking on Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush Flawless Foundation. It's sweat-proof, waterproof and transfer-resistant with hydrating properties and doesn’t get patchy — everything a good foundation should be.

I always give my skin the time and care it deserves and listen to it when it's trying to tell me. Recently, the pollution has made things worse for me, and I feel I need to exfoliate better, which is why I’m turning to The Ordinary's Peeling solution. There are great reviews on this and I'm pretty sure that this will help me get my glow back!

Although I have combination skin, it tends to get a bit dry in the winter, and one product that works for me is The Ordinary's Hyaluronic acid serum. It helps retain moisture and makes my skin look plump and well hydrated. Hands down, this is the best product for winter, and I am surely restocking this for the winter season!

If you ask me about my favourite moisturiser, it would have to be Cetaphil's Moisturising Lotion. I've been using this product for a couple of years now, after my dermatologist suggested it to me. It's perfect for people who have dry to normal skin type. You may feel it's a bit thick when you first apply it but give it a couple of minutes and it gets absorbed, keeping you moisturised all day.

When it comes to foundation, I like to stick to what looks best on me and something that has worked well for a couple of years now is this foundation from Estee Lauder. The formula is lightweight and feels comfortable on my skin throughout the day. It's got an additional SPF 10 and offers an extensive shade range of 50+ colours.

Anyone who knows me knows that I just can't drink water, and it usually translates to extreme dryness and constant breakouts. I'm always looking for skincare that gives me maximum hydration and this product is loaded with all the good stuff in one bottle (even Alia Bhatt swears by it). Still working on drinking more water, but till then I think this product will do.

Later in the year, I decided to embark on the CGM journey to retain my curls and get some volume back. And as winters call for doubling down on hair care anyway, this shampoo for curly hair by Aveda is the one I am going to be ticking off my wishlist (it has been there for a while now). Aveda has some of the best hair products in the game, they are super hydrating, and nourishing and this sale is going to be the perfect opportunity for me to finally get this product.

I completely love this crayon lipstick, and it has become my favourite nowadays. I am currently using the shade Stay Exceptional, which I can't get enough of. On Pink Friday sale, I'm probably going to diversify my shade (eyeing the shade Enjoy The View) collection since the formula suits me. It's moisturising, comfortable to wear and glides on your lips.
