Hi all...Today I'm here with a beauty blogger interview. She's none other than Deepika of the well know blog Divassence. All most all of us know her very well. Her's is a very nice and pro blog. You can say that. Reason to choose her to interview first? After IMBB and Wiseshe, its Divassence I followed the most and learnt things since I've started blogging. Close friends of her will definitely may know her well. So today everyone here will know her blogging tips, her daily skin regime, favorite brands and many more. So I'll stop here and let her talk about it. I asked her few questions. Hope you all like it...
1. A little about yourself and your blog.
Hello all! I'm Deepika, a teacher/reasercher by profession but equally passionate about beauty blogging. My blog, Divassence was started out of passion for makeup, colors and the fantastic knowledge I felt I could accumulate from others. Divassence is about you, me and everyone out there and to help you know that there is a diva in each and every one of us. 2.What keeps you inspired about writing?
Love for makeup, discovering new things, my regular readers keep me inspired.
3.Few skin care tips you want to share with us.
A few general tips which everyone knows but not followed regulary: It is a must to REMOVE your makeup at the end of the day. Use a good makeup remover. Also cleanse your face twice a day and carry wipes with you to wipe off any dirt and dust then and there. Banana is an effective tan remover. Use mashed banana to remove tan on your hands. Drink a lot of water to keep your skin hydrated.
4.What is your daily skin care regime?
I cleanse my face using Lush's Angels on Bare Skin every morning, follow it up with the Cetaphil moisturizer. i basically have very very dry skin o I need to keep moisturizing it throughout the day. At night I wash my face with th Cetaphil facewash and use TNC's white tea night cream. I generally don't use store bought face packs other than those from Lush so twice a week I make my own facepack using papaya, honey and coriander leaves.
5.Are you an at home manicure or pedicure kind of girl or you hit the salon?
I am an at home mani pedi kind of girl. I somehow think things that can be done by us should be done by ourselves.
6.How often do you visit parlor and for what services?
Once in two-three weeks to get my eyebrows threaded. That's it. I used to go for hair spas but since i work till Saturday, there is absolutely no time for that now. Of course, once in six months to get a haircut :D
7.What are the products you can’t live without?
Lush Angels On Bare Skin, Cetaphil Moisturizer for Dry Skin, My blushers and a really hot Orange lipstick! :)8.What are the products you are using

14.Tips/advice for new beauty bloggers.
Be yourself. Don't ever put yourself down irrespective of what others say. I've learnt that there will be haters but you have to realize that haters are people who are jealous of you. So just focus on healthy blogging, quality and making good friends. :)
