2. The Adidas Dropset 3 footwear will change the way you weight train
Weight-based exercises are a part of most routines, however, the right footwear is essential for them to benefit the body and not cause injury. Exercises such as deadlifting put a greater workload on the individual when performed in non-optimal footwear. The launch of the Adidas Dropset 3 footwear is a good option when lifting weights. It features HEAT.RDY technology and improved Geofit construction, which helps keep feet cool, comfortable and supported while working out. It features a low midsole with TRAXION rubber and an integrated airflow window, which together provide a flat ground feel for controlled stability.

3. Kaya's advanced sunscreen range targets every skin concern
The idea of a sunscreen that does more than just protect from the sun sounds like a dream, right? The Kaya Advanced Sunscreen range is making it a reality.

4. Starbucks brings the viral Stanley Cup to India
Ever since the Stanley Cup transformed from a simple sipper to an American trend earlier this year, there is no one who hasn't heard of the viral bottle.

That changed in June as Starbucks has collaborated with Stanley to bring the iconic cup to India. The Stanley + Starbucks Ash Green collection is set to seamlessly blend drinkware functionality with gorgeous style, making it finally possible to own the Stanley Cup in India.

6. Boujee Beauty's multichrome eyeliner has gone viral for a reason
This season, a plain old black eyeliner just won't cut it. Bright colours like green or blue won't cut it either. But an eyeliner that changes colour when the light hits it right will. Boujee Beauty's Multichrome Eyeliners come in a variety of colours, but one commonality is that their colour doesn't stay constant. Their holographic effect lets you experience eye-catching colour changes, while also being easy to use and long-lasting. Making a statement couldn't be easier.

Borosil's borosilicate glass bottles have been a favourite for generations. They're BPA-free, leak-proof and scratch-proof.
