Most of us are prone to getting lazy after coming back from that party. We leave that make up on, thinking once is ok. But really, it ends up happening way too many times, and eventually harming our skin. But can we be blamed? Taking make up off is such a time consuming, labor intensive process that sometimes we end up avoiding it!

The advent of micellar water has made life, and skin, much better now. Developed in the 1990s in France to counteract the country's naturally hard water, micellar water is a gentle formula that looks and feels like water, but includes tiny particles called micelles to trap impurities (dirt, makeup) and lift them up, without drying your skin in the process. As for the process, it’s as simple as just swiping it on the skin with a cotton swab, without any scrubbing involved.

Micellar water cleansers are a perfect option for gentle, effective cleansing, whether it is to clean off the day’s grime in the evening, or even to give a refreshing start to your day.

But then, with so many brands releasing their own versions of micellar water, which is good for your skin? We list five best micellar water brands, which have been covered frequently by multiple luxury blogs.



1.         La Prairie Crystal Micellar Water Eyes & Face: Costing a bumper $135, La Prairie’s micellar water can be used in the morning and evening. Dispense onto a cotton pad and gently press over one eye. Wait a few seconds to allow the formula to begin dissolving eye makeup, then gently sweep the cotton pad from inner to outer corner. Repeat on other eye and the rest of the face. It is hydrating, rejuvenating and oh-so-simple to use!

2.        La Mer The Cleansing Micellar Water: You cannot go with La Mer. This $124 worth liquid is perfect for dry and combination skin. It micro-emulsifies makeup, and sweeps away impurities and pollutants. Counted as one of the best micellar water brands by luxury blogs and magazines, its signature marine nutrients and nourishing Miracle Broth hydrate and renew skin.

3.        By Terry Cellularose Micellar Water Cleanser: Considered good for all skin types, By Terry’s $88 micellar water gently removes the most stubborn make-up and impurities, leaving the skin feeling fresh and comfortable. Its formula is concentrated with radiance-activating White Rose Native Cells, antioxidant Black Rose extract, and soothing White Rose extract that leaves the skin supple and hydrated. For best results, By Terry recommends not rinsing it off.

4.       Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water: Giving itself a fancier, more encompassing name, Koh Gen Do’s micellar water is again quite a favorite with luxury blogs. This $78.99 Spa Cleansing Water is both a makeup remover and gentle cleanser in one, particularly suitable for sensitive skin types. It is made with a blend of thermal water and botanical extracts, including Rosemary, Sage and Lavender. Again, no rinsing necessary!

5.        Eau Thermale Avene Micellar Lotion: The name might be confusing, but it is a micellar water only. Costing $77.69, this water contains chamomile among other ingredients, which is said to be very relaxing. It removes make-up while keeping your skin moisturized like a ‘lotion’.

With the incredible amount of choice available, we are sure you’ll find your prefect pick of the best micellar water.

What is Teppanyaki? Understanding Japanese Cuisine.

Although there is much involved in the creation of delectable Japanese cuisine, Teppanyaki forms a large part of it, which many misunderstand to be same as hibachi or just grilled food. By: Soumya Jain Japan’s cuisine is as technically precise as it is creating a watch or jewelry. The fish has to be placed just the way and seaweed rolled with just enough pressure to be able to present a perfectly made sushi. Apart from the more popular sushi and sashimi, Teppanyaki also forms a part of Japanese cuisine. To put it in easy words, Teppanyaki uses an iron griddle to cook food. In Japan, ‘teppanyaki’ refers to dishes cooked using an iron plate, including steak, shrimp, vegetables, okonomiyaki (Japanese pancake), yakisoba (Japanese fried noodles), and monjayaki (also a kind of savory Japanese pancake). Modern teppanyaki grills are typically propane-heated flat surface grills and are widely used to cook food in front of guests at restaurants. Teppanyaki grills are commonly

The Rise of Indian Luxury Brands

India is no stranger to luxury. But its manifestations have only begun to rise recently. By: Soumya Jain I still remember 2009 and the huge number of trips I made to the newly opened DLF Emporio mall that year, because all international brands were opening their stores one by one at this New Delhi mecca of pure luxury. From Cartier to Dior, international brands had finally found a location apt for their sparkling stores in India. And suddenly, all these brands and the Indian luxury industry were in news. Not that Indian luxury brands didn’t exist before this. They did. After all, who else donned the celebrity and rich brides of India before this era. It’s just that Indian luxury brands were maybe only fixed on the pages of luxury magazines in India . After this time, they became mainstream. Today everybody knows J. J.
