❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤I recently participated in Nykaa (one of the top websites selling Makeup and Skincare in India) /Femina Best Beauty Products 2014 quiz. There were some products that I have never tried but I would love to, so those were my answers. I know it's not right but I participated anyway! I also thought of sharing the list with you all and show the products that deserve to be best beauty products of 2014. Also, buying these products is just a click away, because I have linked these products to the websites they are being sold on!

From A Buyer's Perspective
- Drugstore and high-end products should not be kept together. There should have been different sections for both.
- I don't rely on websites when it comes to buying fragrances hence I haven't linked them to any. However, you can check out cosme-de.com as it has trust among buyers.
- We still don't have websites selling MAC, Guerlain, Lancome products. If you buy them from a website in India, it must not be authentic product. Best to my knowledge. I would love to be corrected if there is any website selling them! However, you can always become a member of Facebook group so you can buy second hand/fresh cosmetics of these brands.
