SPOTLIGHT

Beauty conscious divas are in for a treat as

the newly enhanced Clinique store, at Select

Citywalk Saket, brings a revolutionary

shopping experience. Their newest service,

As You Like It, gives shoppers a tailor-made

service, thanks to their consumer-inspired

concept. A skincare kiosk with a detox bar

ensures that customers receive and benefit

from a detailed skin consultation, while

a guided self-service is also available for

personalised skincare recommendations.

care analysis allows 52 million possible

pathways in determining skin conditions

and recommends product combinations

that suit each consumer’s personal

skincare needs. In addition, the Bridal

Trousseau Service engages brides-to-be to

a consultation (by appointment) with their

trained Bridal Colour specialists, on beauty

and skincare enquiries.

Find love and be happy

Ever fallen madly in love? That

butterflies-in-the-stomach and

sweet mushy kind of feeling is

actually good for the heart and

brain. While life is lucky for

some and they find someone

worth liking or loving on their

own, some get stuck in their

hunt. Coming to the rescue

of the ‘I can’t find someone

nice’ is TrulyMadly, an India-

origin online dating and

social discovery mobile app

for singles. TrulyMadly prides

itself as the safest dating

or matchmaking platform

for Indian singles today.

TrulyMadly was co-founded by

Sachin Bhatia, Hitesh Dhingra

and Rahul Kumar. This app is

a genuine effort to change

the way online matrimonial

matchmaking platforms

function. It is a sigh of relief

for those who lament about

little-to-zero focus on safety

and veracity of profiles that

emphasise more on parental

involvement. TrulyMadly

does matchmaking based

on psychological or lifestyle

compatibility, over caste,

religion, etc. So if you are

single, feeling lonesome and

want to give a positive rush to

your heart, then get the app

and set sail for a status that

says ‘happily-ever-after’.
