Glitter Yourself

Don't just glow, sparkle! Pupa's new line of Glittering Make Up is all about creating effects with light and colour. The blendable Glittering Eye Shadow is available in four sparkling colours, while Glittering Glossy lip gloss comes in pearly and transparent colours for that wet, extra-shiny look. Pupa's long-lasting lipstick, New Chic, is dressed with glitter for crystalline reflections. For glitter without the colour, try Glittering Gel, a transparent, smoothening gel that can be used all over the body.

No More Marks

Often dull and lifeless skin is the result of a layer of dead skin cells that needs removal.

Available in retail stores across the country, Nomarks Scrub is priced at Rs 50 for a 50 g pack.
