Corallista Makeup Blog

With refreshing cucumber extracts and aromatic green tea scent

Mumbai April 8th 2013: Summer is a tough season for your body. Hot, humid, dusty, dry and sweaty, it makes you uncomfortable physically and robs you of confidence internally. Dove knows that when your skin feels beautiful & nourished, it allows you to express yourself more openly & confidently, because when you feel confident in your skin, it shows in your body language.

Dove Go Fresh Nourishment Body Lotion for Summers

Hey everyone!

If you recall, I’d partnered with Dove for a campaign last year (in case you didn’t know, read about it HERE).  Part of the campaign involved bloggers sharing the story of their hair. Everyone’s hair has a story – some have had long hair during childhood, nurtured and pampered by mothers and grannies with weekly oil massages while the others (like me!) started growing their hair in their later teens. Here’s the story of my hair and the different things in my life that have affected it. I’d love to know your Hair Story in the comments section at the end of this post!

Dove Hair Fall Rescue Treatment

(These blogs were shared by Dove on their Facebook Page as part of Share the Secret campaign)

2 years back, I would have never thought that I would be blogging about makeup and beauty. I am Ankita, a 23 year old beauty blogger living in Mumbai. I have just completed my B.Tech degree from IIT Bombay few months back and now I am working full time on my blog Corallista which I started in January 2011. I have an engineering degree and beauty and cosmetics hardly figured in my life 2 years back. I was facing severe hair fall and acne issues and a bit of online research led me to beauty blogs. I was hooked to beauty blogs from Day 1 and soon began to write myself. What started out as an interest soon developed into a passion and by the summer of 2011, I was blogging on my own domain.

This time, for the launch of their new Hair Fall Rescue Intense Roots Treatment, they roped in bloggers from different fields – travel, fashion, beauty, parenting, lifestyle etc. to be the spokespersons for their new product.

Dove launches ‘Dove Elixir’ hair oils

November 2012 : Most women, while tending to their tresses often find themselves caught in the dilemma of wanting to oil their hair regularly, but not finding enough time to do so. This dilemma gets compounded with ancestral belief that to get the goodness of hair oil, one needs to keep it for longer in hair, which she is unable to do due to  hectic lifestyle that leaves very little time for the women to nourish  their hair. Addressing  this problem , Dove today launched ‘Dove Elixir’ – Dove’s very first range of precious hair oils with real ingredients; a blend that provides the power of overnight oiling in just 30 minutes.
