The Must Try List | July 2015

July is here and we are back with yet another edition of The Must Try List! From gorgeous make up products to stunning shoes, entertaining cinema to the best of monsoon fashion, we have got it all covered for you. While you may end up getting the best bargain during the ongoing sale season, a few products here may force you to make some extra space in the wardrobe (or the vanity shelf, shoe rack). 

Must Use - MAC Lightful

The science of skincare meets the beauty of makeup. One of the products that tops our Must Try list this month is M·A·C’s latest Lightful2-in-1 with radiance booster tinted serum, a creation that comes packaged in a modern dual-chamber bottle. Now what's amazing is that this bottle holds two potent formulas – a hi-tech treatment serum and an incandescent tint. Use the lightweight and translucent gel-like serum all over the face at night to curb hyper pigmentation, and the tinted serum during the day to continue the brightening effects. All this, while instantly helping even out the skin tone and

adding luminosity. When hear that when this 2-in-1 treatment is used together, the two formulas target a multitude of skin concerns, from dark spots and dehydration to

uneven skin tone/texture. The product will be available in 5 shades (tint) and is priced at Rs 2700. Sounds good to us and we can't wait to test it already!

Must Have - Nike Zoom Air

Now this is one pair of shoes that every running fanatic (including us) can't stop eyeing. Nike recently launched the all new Nike Zoom Air and the stunning color combination has already left us drooling.  Zoom Air - the fastest, most responsive cushioning platform Nike has ever delivered - has the power to change a lot of things that an athlete can feel about his gear. The lightest of the Zoom training family, the Air zoom is a minimalist streamlined propulsion device designed for athletes, who want to stay fast and light on their feet in training or competition. Forefoot Zoom Air gives runners a snappy response off the road. The lowered offset (eight millimeters) puts runners closer to the ground for more control, and a sleek upper combines Nike Flywire technology, 

no-sew overlays and lightweight mesh for a supportive, breathable fit. In short, the Nike Zoom Air is all you need to get going on the running track like a pro! Priced at Rs 8995, the Nike Zoom Air is now available at select Nike retail stores.

Must Buy - Lakmé Absolute Gloss Artist

Who doesn't love a good, smudge-free eyeliner, that is perfect for the monsoons? Well, here comes Lakmé's all new Absolute Gloss Artist to your rescue. The Lakmé Absolute Gloss Artist, that comes in a gorgeous, dark black shade, promises to deliver a high-definition shine that will last all the day, without smudging. Its compact packaging (which has always been a plus point for Lakmé products) makes it easy to carry. But wait, there is more to it than what meets the eye. This vinyl eye-liner comes with a felt-tip brush, that makes application extremely easy and smooth. Get ready to turn artist and make your eyes the canvas, while you experiment with winged, retro or just simple bold lines. Priced at Rs 600, we certainly think Lakmé has got another winner here!

Must Watch - Bajrangi Bhaijaan & Minions

There is a similarity between the two films (apart from the fact that both are releasing in the same month). Well, almost everyone loves the Minions and Bhaijaan aka Salman. While Bajrangi Bhaijaan marks the return of Salman Khan on the screen a year after his Eid blockbuster Kick, Illumination Entertainment's Minions is a prequel to the super hit Despicable Me series. Looking at the recent events that Khan went through and the fact that the film is a Holiday release, trade pundits have already predicted a 100 crore+ opening for the film.
