The radical Radhika of weekend Ramblings
La serie My MakeUp Life le pide a la belleza DISCERSERS, bloggers, maquillaje Mavens y artistas para compartir sus productos sagrados, trucos, consejos y herramientas de belleza favoritas. ¿Hay alguien que le gustaría ver con mi vida de maquillaje o preguntas que crea que debería preguntar? Déjame saber aquí.
Name: Radhika Mohan
Location: Santa Clara, California, and when I’m in India, I call Bangalore home.
Day job/current gig: I work(ed) part-time, from home, for a medical transcription company — a job that involves a lot of typing…and chipped polish.
Hangouts online: weekendramblings.com, Instagram, Twitter, Google+, Facebook and Pinterest
Current favorite product: Dior Creme Abricot Fortifying cream for Nails. A little sticky and best used right before bedtime, but this cream sorts out any pesky dry bits around the nails almost overnight.
Beauty inspirations: clear blue skies and starry nights, my mom’s garden after a rain, and the best mood board of all — Pinterest!
One word that best describes your outlook on beauty: Simple
¿Qué productos de maquillaje / belleza no puedes vivir sin?
This Indian girl can’t live without a black eyeliner, and my favorite is the urban Decay eyeliner in Perversion. Also, Bobbi brown Corrector (dark peach) and a good lip balm.

¿Cuándo empezaste a meterte en maquillaje?
For the longest time, I had a 2-step makeup routine — Maybelline Mineral Power Powder foundation (which I bought mostly because it came with a brush) and a liquid eyeliner. trouble started about 5 years back when I discovered beauty blogs. A brief stop at a Chanel counter, and I got myself a brand new obsession!
¿Cuál es tu mejor truco de salvación de tiempo de belleza?
Chanel Rouge Coco shine in Pygmalion and Bobbi brown Pot Rouge Calypso Coral
My go-to time-saving beauty trick is to use my lipstick as a blush. pick up the color either directly from the lipstick or from the lips and dab on to the cheeks. perfectly coordinated blush in a second! Or use a lip-cheek combination product like the Bobbi brown Pot Rouge.
¿Cuál es tu herramienta de belleza favorita?
Chanel eyelash curler, which for reasons unknown is/was a limited edition release. My lashes are quite straight, and I love how the curler gives them a naturally lifted appearance.

¿Cuál es el mejor consejo de belleza que has recibido?
Eat healthy, walk a lot, sleep early. Of course, when it comes to actually following all that advice, I am a bit of a work in progress. :P

¿Cuál es tu rutina de cuidado de la piel?
Grab a cookie or two…this is going to be one long answer! My skin type is oily/combination-sensitive, and here’s what I am using currently.
Face wash: Olay Cleansing Cloths for oily-combination skin. These have salicylic acid in them, and the textured cloth provides gentle exfoliation to keep skin looking clean.
Serums: Chanel Resynchronizing line – Le Jour and La Nuit. The day serum has salicylic acid in it, and La Nuit — for the night — has hyaluronic acid. Both are light enough to use under my regular moisturizer and are perfect for my crazy skin type.
Moisturizer: lush dream cream (actually a body moisturizer meant for sensitive skin) for the day and Clinique moisture surge Overnight Mask for the night.
Eye Cream: Chanel Sublimage Eye Cream. I had always believed a good face cream would work just as well for the eye area, but after trying a couple of samples of this cream and noticing a difference in the darkness around my eyes, I gave up on the theory and bought a full-sized (tiny) jar.
Face masks/treatments: I am currently using the When Travelmate Essence sheet masks. And, Biore Pore Strips – a must-have for anyone who has a camera inches away from the nose!
For my incredibly dry lips, I depend upon the Fresh Sugar polish and the Rosebud Salve.
¿Qué es lo más raro que has probado en nombre de la belleza?
I can’t call this weird as it is something a lot of people do, at least back home in India — use a mix of henna powder, yogurt, and egg as a hair mask. It adds in moisture to the hair and gives it a healthy shine, but I cannot stand the smell of eggs…and yogurt…mixed together. Sigh…the things I try on my hair!
¿Tienes un aspecto de marca registrada (cabello / estilo / maquillaje)?

¿Hay alguna decisión de belleza que haya hecho que mires hacia atrás y te preguntes: “¿Por qué?!”
I did try cutting my hair myself, ending up with a lopsided blunt cut that took ages to grow out.
¿Dónde están tus lugares favoritos para comprar?
I do a lot of my shopping online, but in-store or online, I love to shop at Nordstrom and Sephora.
