Pink Amour| Soft Romantic Day Look for Valentine’s Day

Hello all! Today I have come up with a Valentine’s Day special eye look which is very simple to achieve and very wearable too. I am a totally no-eyeshadow girl. I mostly apply kajal on my upper and lower lash line and step out just like that. But, it’s Valentine’s Day, so the makeup needs to be special, isn’t it? I chose to create an easy-peasy look for the occasion as you don’t want to spend a lot of time in your eye-makeup. 
** I have done the makeup on my right eye only. I was too lazy that day so couldn’t do makeup on both my eyes. Excuse me for that. 
Now, without wasting time, let’s see the pictures-


~Things I used for this look~

1. MUA Undressed Palette.

2. Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Liner in Black.
3. Florelle True Khol Pencil
4. Maybelline The Hyper Curl Volume Express Mascara.


Brushes & Tools-



5. Vega Angular Blender Brush.
6. ELF Essential Eye Crease Brush.
7. Kryolan Art Brush no. 3810.
8. Colorbar Emphaseyes Eye Blending Brush.
9. ELF Studio Small Angle Brush (my favourite for applying gel liners).
10. Vega Eyelash Curler.

~Eye-shadows Used in this Look~

Shade 1
Shade 9
Shade 2
Shade 10

Shade 3

~How to Achieve the Look~


Before I start creating the look, I lightly fill in my brows with a darker matte brown eye-shadow from the palette and shape it with a spooley brush. 

  • Step 1– Prep your eyes by applying a base for your shadow. If you have darker eyelids, you need to cover up the pigmentation by applying a concealer before the base. 

  • Step 2– Take shade 1 from the palette and apply it all over your eyelids up to the brow-bone using a fluffy brush. Here I have used the Colorbar Blending brush. This step is intended to cancel out any discolouration that you are still left with. This step is completely optional. 

  • Step 3– Take shade 2 and pat it over your lids with a flat eye-shader brush all the way to your crease area. I have used the Vega angular brush for the purpose.

  • Step 4– Next take shade 9 from the palette which is a beautiful pinky-brown shadow and apply it over the lid. You may apply it with a damped brush. That will make the colour more gorgeous. But, as I tried to create a soft and subtle look, I didn’t do that. 

  • Step 5– Take some of shade 10 in a crease brush and apply it on to your crease area.

  • Step 6– To blend in the harsh lines, take some of the light brown shadow, i.e. shade 3, in a blending brush and start blending everything in a back and forth motion. 

  • Step 7– Apply some more shade 1 on the brow-bone for highlighting. 

  • Step 8– Take shade 2 again and apply in on the inner-corners of the eyes to brighten them up. Also this creates an illusion of wide eyes. 

  • Step 9– As the eye look was very simple and subtle, I decided to go for a winger liner to add a little oomph to the look 😉 I chose gel liner over liquid liner to maintain the subtlety of the look. If you feel creating a wing is difficult for you then just do it as you like Jthere are no strict rules. 

  • Step 10– Apply kajal on your lower waterline leaving the inner ⅓ of the lower lash line and smudge it out a bit. Work it out on the outer corners and join the upper and lower lash-line with the kajal. Add some of shade 2 on to that unfilled ⅓ part. This will make your eyes look bigger. 

  • Step 11– Apply two coats of mascara to both top and bottom lashes.  

  • Step 12– Last step, dip your powder brush in to your compact/loose powder and brush off the fallouts under your eyes.

Voila! That’s it guys. I hope I have made myself clear while explaining the steps. Now a few words before I sign off. Valentine’s Day is all about love. If you have love for something or someone you will achieve it in anyway. You don’t need makeup to impress anyone. It’s your inner beauty and your self confidence that makes you stand out from the crowd. Make-up is just a way to enhance your beauty a little more.  This particular look has no rules. You don’t need the particular products I’ve used here. You can your anything similar to the products I’ve used. At the end of the day, what really matters is your happiness. I think, that will be enough for your loved ones.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Those who are single, you don’t need to worry. You can also go for this look too. You don’t need any reason to look beautiful, right?

P.S.– I was always hesitant of posting eye-looks. I wasn’t sure of my ability to bring out a new look myself. But, I have got a grip on that and finally decided to share a look with you all. It’s my first time posting eye makeup looks. Also, my first ever eye makeup tutorial. I know there must be some flaws. I would like to get suggestions from you guys. Good night lovelies J 

P.P.S.- Excuse my eyebrows :p

Flormar Deluxe Shine Gloss Stylo Lipstick- D35 Vermilion| Product Review


Hello all! Today I am going to review a lipstick that I got in my November Vellvette/Fab Bag. This is going to be my first time posting lip swatches.


I am a self-proclaimed lipstick junkie and I mean it. I love wearing lipsticks and love collecting them too. So, whenever I get lipsticks in my Fab Bags, I thank them from the bottom of my heart. I got some lovely stuffs in my November Bag, among them, was this lipstick. Now, let’s move on to the review.

Product Category– Lipstick
Brand– Flormar
Price– 700INR for 3gms

Flormar is a name that was totally unfamiliar to me. When I got this lipstick, I needed to ferret about it. What I found is, Flormar is a brand that was created in 1950 Milan and it is a part of the French Cosmetics company, Yves Rocher.

Claims- Special formula enriched with Argan oil, Vitamin E, Omega 6; Cacao butter; gives a unique and translucent appearance and glossy reflection while making it ultra-hydrating and nourishing for your lips leaving lips soft and supple without any greasiness.


Packaging- This lipstick comes in a very pretty packaging. It’s classy and sleek and travel friendly too. I like the Black tube packaging and the pink scribble on it. I think the packaging is the only stuff I loved about this lipstick so much.


Shade- The shade is very hard to describe. This is kind of a bright orange-y tone with a red tinge. I hope I have made you understand. If not, please forgive me, I am very bad in describing colours and scents 😛

My Experience– Flormar Deluxe Shine Gloss lipstick is more a gloss than a lipstick. Initially I was quite impressed by the product, but later on I was sick of it. It doesn’t give enough coverage to your pigmented lips. For me, as I have a highly pigmented upper lip, this doesn’t at all work for me when applied alone. I need to either conceal my lips or use a lipstick/lip-liner of similar shade before applying the product. I generally use it as a gloss on top of a lipstick. This product has a lot of down points. First of all, it’s staying power. This lipstick stays for a good 1-2 hours, but after that you need to reapply it. Secondly, this product is so buttery that it starts melting inside the tube. So, there is no way of keeping it in your purse for a whole day. I keep it in the fridge and I sometimes feel like I am keeping it in life-support. But on the brighter note, it keeps my lips hydrated and feels like I have butter on my lips.

-Swatches-


In natural light

Ups:
  • Stylish packaging.
  • Keeps the lips hydrated.
  • Looks good if used on top of a matte lipstick.
  • Has Argan oil and Vitamin E.


Downs:

  • Doesn’t give enough coverage.
  • Bad staying power.
  • Transfers.
  • Overpriced. 


Would I buy it again– Not at all.

Spending 700 bucks for a less pigmented ‘lipstick’ (read lip-balm) is so unreasonable in my opinion. I would not suggest buying this.

P.S.– As I’ve mentioned before, this is my first time doing lip-swatches. I hope you liked it. As I am a first-timer and in learning phase now, I would love to get some tips from you on how I can improve myself. Thanks for reading this post throughout. Good night 🙂

Winning an International Giveaway & the Prize

Long back, in December, I participated in a giveaway by Donah of Sweet Jelly Bean. There were 3 winners to be selected and 3 different prizes to be won. Amongst all three of the prizes, I was lucky enough to win the Wishbox 15 Cosmic Bloom.
Wishbox 15 Cosmic Bloom is a sampler box which consists of 9 kinds of cosmetics samples. Although the samples are more than just samples. Some of them come in more than a sample-size quantity.
I got the parcel from Wishtrend.com on yesterday morning. When I opened it, I was surprised to see that they have sent me three extra samples of products which were not included in the actual Wishbox 15 Cosmic Bloom. The box contains an assortment of samples from various deluxe brands. I haven’t used all of the products yet. So I am just briefly describing the products. Let’s have a look at what came inside the box-

1. Max Clinic Night Flash Massage Oil Foam (3ml x 10packets)–

It’s an oil/massage foam for the face. It can also be used as a makeup remover (waterproof and washable). Comes in sachets.

2. ElishaCoy Always Nuddy CC Cream (5g) –

ElishaCoy CC cream is a good quality CC cream. Comes is a tube.

3. Gehwol Salve for Cracked Skin (20ml) –

It’s a medicated ointment from dried, rough and cracked heels. Comes in a tube.

4. Isfren Rx Magic Eye Solution Wise Patch–

This patch is to heal puffiness and dark-circles.

5. CB Cream Natural (3g x 2) –

This is a wash-off cream for instant whitening of the face.

6. Lavida BB cream Pact (1g) –

Comes with a cute small round sponge. It gives you a great coverage so it can be treated as a cream foundation too. Sadly it doesn’t match my skin tone L


7. Edge Fit Heart Filler Cream (3ml) –

I have used this product and it worked amazingly on my skin. It left my skin with a moisturised feeling and suppleness. My skin feels so soft after applying it. Moreover, as Donah says, it can work as an Awesome Primer for your skin!

8. Lion Heart Eau de Toilette–

Believe me you guys, it smells AMAAAZING!! They claim it to be a unisex fragrance. The smell is a little bit on the musky side. As written on the envelope, the scent consists of Sea Breeze note (marine, bergamot, cardamom), Fresh Sparkling note (apricot, sandals) and Sexy Breeze note (musk, amber). I didn’t understand the language on the envelope, so took a few help from Donah’s post.

9. Panier Den Sens Liquid Soap (3m x 3)-

This is a French skincare brand. I’ve got 3 varieties of facial soaps from this brand. I loved it’s vintage packing so much!
Now Let’s see what are the additional items that I got in the box-

10. Lotree Rosa Davurica Powder Pact–

This one has SPF40, PA++. This also doesn’t match my skin tone. It’s almost two tones lighter than my complexion. I am thinking of using it under my eye area on top pf my concealer. It will help brightening up the under eye area.

11. Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Cream (8ml)–

I have also used this one once and I can tell you it’s very,. Very moisturising and really soothes your skin.

12. ElishaCoy Skin Repairing Snail Cream–

It says it has 91% snail slime extract which sounds very creepy. But as I know snail slime is good for skin, I can manage my disrelish. This cream also takes care of your wrinkles, doesn’t indulge them but helps to firm your skin as well as keeping it vitalized.
I hope you liked reading the post. You can order your own Wishbox here.

My January ’14 Favourites| Skin, Hair, Makeup


Hello lovelies, I hope you’re doing great this year. This year has started off really well and I hope the goodness pursues. This post is a monthly favourites post. This will be my first ‘favourites’ post and henceforth I will be doing similar posts for every month.

Today I am going to share with you guys the products I loved using in January. So here they are-

~Skincare Products~


1. I Love… Strawberries & Milkshake Body Butter: A few months back I won a giveaway at Shubha’s blog, Blue Velvet Addict and this product, with some other goodies, came as a prize. I was using my Vaseline body lotion then but I was really getting eager to try out the body butter as soon as possible. I started using it in January. I love, love, love this product!! I don’t know if I have succeeded in make you understand how deeply I am in love with this or not, but I meant each word that I just scribbled. It smells like strawberry and cream and kind of strawberry smoothie, whatever it is, it has a divine smell. I like to apply it on my hands after bath. It makes my skin supple throughout the day and makes me smell like dessert 😛

2. Naked Potion Lotion: The moment I received it in my January Fab Bag, I started using it. I have not used it throughout January but still it is my favourite for this month. In case you guys are wondering, Naked is an organic skincare line by supermodel Lisa Haydon. The Potion Lotion is actually a face moisturizer which makes my face nourished, healthy and also it makes my skin look beautifully dewy. What I loved about the cream is the not-so-thick not-so-light perfect texture, the visible effects and its natural ingredients. It has a weird smell which initially made me a little irritated but now I like the natural, non-chemical smell. As it’s very moisturizing, I have to use it up within this winter because I might not be able to use it in the summers as I have a very oily t-zone which makes my entire face greasy L I am planning to do an entire blog-post on this product.


3. Lotus Herbals 3-in-1 Matte Look Daily Sunblock: This product is my all time favourite. I am sure everyone among you knows about this product quite well. This is my favourite because- (a) It has a matte formula which is hard to find in a sunscreen (b) It smells good, (c) It is super inexpensive. Also it has SPF 40 and UVA and UVB protection as well. I will keep purchasing it always.

~Haircare Products~


4. Pre-Botanix Anti-dandruff Shampoo and Conditioner by Raaga Professional: Since my hair is super oily and full of dandruff throughout the winter, I needed an extremely good shampoo to get rid of the flaky scalp. This shampoo and conditioner duo was actually recommended by my hair-stylist. I have been using this from the first week of January. I use it every 2ndday and it claims to show you visible difference with 4 weeks. Well, for that matter, it’s my 3rd week with the product and I can see the lack of flakes in my hair. This shampoo doesn’t damage your hair and the conditioner is just the best. You don’t need to have dandruff problem to use the conditioner, you can use it with any shampoo. It makes your hair soft and touchable. I don’t know where else it’s available in India; I bought it from my salon friend. I recommend the Pro-Botanix Anti Dandruff shampoo if you’ve stubborn dandruff like I have.
~Makeup Products~


5. Maybelline The Hyper Curl Volume Express Mascara: This has been my HG mascara ever since I started using it! This mascara has everything you need for your lashes. It stretches, lengthens, curls and gives an amazing effect to your eyes.


6. Maybelline Super Stay 14hr Lipstick- Eternal Rose: Since I am into blod lippies for this month, this has been my favourite. It is a lovely rosy pink colour which suits me a lot. It just brightens up my face. Only one down point for this lipstick could be its drying tendency. Otherwise everything is great with it. It’s matte, it’s bold and it’s pretty!


7. Maybelline Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel EyeLiner: This is my first time trying out a gel liner. I needed one and felt to try the Maybelline one first. Reason- its reasonable price. I have loved this so much that I keep this on the top of my vanity table so that I can grab it anytime. This is my favourite go to eyeliner now.


8. Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner: I was too much into eye makeup products this January. Recently I ran out of my Maybelline Colossal Kajal and I went on shopping to buy the most raved Loreal Kajal Magique. But sadly, the nearby departmental store didn’t have that in stock. So, I opted for the one that was available there. It was the Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner. I have used it before and I love this product so much. I love applying it on both upper and lower lash line. It has an intense black colour and it glides on very well. 


9. Kryolan Dermacolor Camouflage Crème: If you are following my blog, you guys must have seen my review about this product. I have loved this product since I purchased it. This is my HG product to camouflage my wretched dark circles. I apply it underneath my eyes and top it up with my concealer and I am ready to go. This product is worth being in the ‘Favourites’ list.
Read my review here.

So, this is pretty much it. I think I’ve discussed about all the products. These products were my favourites for the month of January. Some of them might become my all time favourites. I hope you’ll have enjoyed reading my post. See you in my next post 🙂

What’s in My January Fab Bag?

Hi all! I hope you all are doing great. Temperature her is increased a bit, so now I am always in a comfy and warm mood. I know I am running a bit late in blogging, I am not posting regularly. I want you to know that my studies for Post-Graduation have began and I am always filled with Edward II or The Tempest, so blogging has become slower than ever. Nevertheless, today I am going to post a sneak-peek of what I got in this year’s January FAB BAG. So, let’s jump into the post.
As I told many times before that I have been so lucky since I subscribed to the Velvette Fab Bag. I hhave never got anything that has disappointed me so much. This month’s bag was not an exception. I have got some lovely products, one of which is a lip product that made me happy J
This is the overview of what came in my January Fab Bag-
The January Fab Bag is the worst bag I have received after the October one. It is a red coloured bag which is so cheap-looking. I didn’t like the bag at all.
Here is the list of products I received in the Bag-
1. Sally Hansen Diamond Lip Treatment- Antique Bronze
2. Nyassa Alphonso Body Butter
3. Naked Potion Lotion
4. The Nature’s Co Spearmint Body Wash (Bonus)
The lip gloss is my favourite product from this bag. This is an everyday n*de shade with some shimmers.
This body butter is less like body butter and more like a concentrated lotion. It smells like mango smoothie and reminds me of the ‘mango days’ in summer.
The Naked is a handmade, organic skincare line by supermodel Lisa Haydon. I have got the Potion Lotion by Naked which is a face moisturizing lotion. I love this because I love using organic products and it’s also preservative free.
The card provided by the website which consists of the products-list, says it’s the The Nature’s Co Lavender Body Lotion whereas I actually have got The Nature’s Co Spearmint Body Wash. Anyways, I personally didn’t like the strong minty smell. But I don’t mind using it as it’s a bonus item.
Also, I have got this cute calender 🙂
The overall experience with the January Fab Bag is great. I have got some nice products including a Sally Hansen and a Naked product. With this, my 3 months subscription comes to an end and I am definitely convinced to subscribe again.
Thanks for reading my post everyone. Now here is a news for you. I have just created a Facebook page for this blog. I want to thank everyone who have Liked this page and those who have not liked my page yet, please do it now. I need your love and support. I am also listing my other social networking sites below-

 Be safe and be happy always. Good Night 🙂

Kryolan Derma Color Camouflage Crème (D30) Review

Hello lovelies, as promised I am back again with another new post. This is going to be a review post. Today I am going to review a super awesome orange corrector form Kryolan which is the Kryolan Derma Color Camouflage Crème in the shade D30.
In case you are wondering what a corrector is, it is a cream that helps to camouflage any dark circle, dark spot, pigmentation or redness. It basically hides all the discolorations in the skin and makes your skin spotless and flawless when a concealer is applied on the top of it. An orange corrector is basically needed to camouflage blue tones in your skin. It also fights ashy-ness that appears under your eyes when you apply just a concealer to conceal your dark circles (if you have heavy dark circles).
The Derma Color range is a range of creamy concealers. This range offers a great variety of shades. D30 is one of them, which is an orange corrector. This range has other shades of correctors too, like, lavender, yellow etc.
Source
What the Website says: “Dermacolor Camouflage Creme in a handy round packaging. Dermacolor Camouflage Creme is an especially highly pigmented make-up which is designed to correct and cover skin disfigurements, discolorations and tattoos. Dermacolor Camouflage Creme is especially suitable for face and neck. With proper use of the Dermacolor Camouflage System skin abnormalities can be easily corrected. Ones Dermacolor Camouflage Creme is fixed using Fixing Powder and Fixing Spray from Dermacolor it will be waterproof and protects the skin against damaging UV radiation. Dermacolor Camouflage could last even under extreme conditions like swimming, heat and physical strain. Dermacolor Camouflage Creme is available in an extensive range of shades and those are intermixable which gives the make-up a natural appearance when applied correctly. ECARF certified.”
Product Category– Corrector
Brand– Kryolan
Price– 350 INR for 4g
Packaging: Kryolan Derma Color Camouflage Crème comes in a tub packaging with a screw-on cap.
My Experience: Kryolan Derma Color Camouflage Crème in D30 does a great job to hide your stubborn under eye dark circles as well as the imperfections and unwanted pigmentation in your face. It might tend to be a little dry on skin. You have to scoop out a small amount of it and rub it on the back of your palm to warm it up a little bit. I love to use this corrector after moisturizing my under eye area, this helps the cream to glide on the area easily. It makes a noticeable difference in your under eye area after application. As I have heavy dark circles, this correction is a life-saver for me. I like to apply a moisturizer under my eyes and then apply the Kryolan Derma Color Camouflage Crème in dots around my under eye area and then finish it off with applying my favourite concealer. I like to do this every time before going out. I don’t like the tub packaging, it would have been good if they change the packaging to a stick type packaging. 

Here is a quick demo for you guys. This is my first time so please forgive me for any mistake 🙂
1. Bare eyes  
2. Dotted with Kryolan Derma Color Camouflage Creme (D30)
3. Blended  
4. After applying concealer


Ups: 
Hides all type of discoloration completely, like magic.
Affordable.
A little goes a long way.
 
Downs: 
Availability must be a con.
Blending can be a little tricky.
Unhygienic packaging.

Will I buy it again: Yes, of course, as soon as I finish it. 
I highly recommend this wonderful corrector to all who have dark under-eyes or obstinate pigmentation.

Top Women’s Dresses for New Year’s Eve| Guest Post

It’s a bit of a cliché, but New Year’s Eve really does tend to be one of the best parties of the year.  At the same time, most people accept that Christmas Eve is actually a better night to go out, but that tends to be because people are conscious of the fact they need to be awake and ready for family festivities the next day, so are more relaxed rather than in full on party mode. Yet, the same level of effort doesn’t go into getting dressed for a Christmas Eve party; the focus is 100% on New Year’s Eve.
With that in mind, we’ve looked at some of the best dress brands for women to choose when planning their New Year’s Eve outfits.

Quontum



Quontum dresses were huge a year or two ago. No, they haven’t fallen off the fashion radar, it is just that the brand has stopped getting the column inches they once were now that most women are aware of it.

For those who aren’t yet in the know, a Quontum dress combines the hallmarks of the classic little black dress with neon strips and a secret material blend to pull in any unflattering areas of your body and make you look incredible all while boosting your confidence. The perfect party dress in so many ways!



Alexander McQueen

If you have an increased budget and are able to go designer for New Year’s Eve 2013-14, then Alexander McQueen is likely to be the best choice you can make. The reason is simply that you have a wide variety of styles and colours you can potentially choose from and ensure that you look different from everyone else.
The price of a McQueen could be a downside, however, so it is not recommended that you wear one if you are travelling to an outdoor party in a city centre, for example, as the chances of rain and stray drinks are considerably higher. If you’re going to a cocktail party in a classy bar, then get buying!


Henry Holland

Henry Holland is a young and still emerging designer who has already made a name for himself in the United Kingdom, primarily through his partnership with the popular Debenhams department store. If you’re looking for something young, chic, and probably featuring an animal or a unique print, then Holland is the way to go. H! by Henry Holland is his quirkiest label, although there are some great pieces to be found in his House of Holland label, too.



Ben de Lisi

If you’re looking for something with a designer feel but want your spending to be in double rather than triple digits, then you can do a lot worse than get your New Year’s Eve dress from Ben de Lisi. If you’re the sort of girl who likes to keep her fashion simple, then this is a great label for you to use, as it predominantly focuses on relaxed fits that will leave you feeling sassy and confident, and the great prices mean it isn’t a disaster if you do come into contact with nasty weather or a stray drink!
