My Makeup Collection 2017: Lip Products

Hello beauties,

Almost all of us have been through the makeup hoarder phase, but later realize that we don't need too many of the same thing. Even though I have tried to limit my purchases now, still I feel that I have too many of the same color always. So today I though of ahring my humble lip product collection with you all.

I am doing this kinda post after more than 5 years (read the previous post HERE). I have listed the products category-wise i.e. lipstick, matte crayon lipstick, lip gloss, lip liner, liquid lipstick and so on... Also, where ever possible, I have linked the product with it's review/information page.

The Lipliners:
I always prefer the nude ones or MLBB ones, so you will always find these same shades always.

Inglot Soft Precision Lipliner #67
Catrice LipLiner in That's what the Rosewood Do
Bourjois Lipliner in Enjoleuse

Lakme Limited Edition PopTints Collection and my Haul!

Hello everyone,

Finally this weekend I found the time and courage to go and check the Lakme Poptints range. everything about this range has been fascinating me for a while now, specially the lovely Kareena and the colors, which remind me so much about my childhood favorite Poppins :)

Now you may be wondering why I was scared?? It was due to the price at which liptints are retailing I would say, INR 800 for just 2 gm of the product. I was scared that the shopaholic me would never leave the newU store without purchasing one. But finally, sense prevailed and I didn't buy a single liptint. Thank God!!!

However, I have the swatches of 7 of the 8 launched liptints in this Limited edition collection (Orange Tease was out of stock):

Blue Smokey Eyes: Step by Step Tutorial

Hey Girls,

I have been wanting to do a blue smokey eyes since eternity but was always scared if it wouldn't suit my complexion. But after I saw Anushka Sharma in IGT Grand Finale, I had to try out this look. She looked drop-dead gorgeous!!!
I wore this look recently for a dinner, found it very contemporary, good for indian as well as western wear, and though not a neutral look, could be paired up with contrast colors in clothing as well.

Lakme Absolute Bi-Pased Make-Up Remover Review

Hello Girls,

Hope all of you are enjoying the winter days. I have a love-hate relationship with this weather. I feel cold even at the slightest instance and hate covering up in layers of clothes. But I love gajar ka halwa so much that I gorge on it every single day of the winters. Coming to favorites, I am discussing a product which I am completely and totally loving these days, Lakme Absolute Bi-Pased Make-Up Remover.

My Diwali Makeup Tutorial

Hello Girls,

Today I am off to my mom's place for celebrating "bhai duj". But before that did a quick tutorial for my Diwali makeup (read HERE).

Indian Wedding Reception Eye Makeup: Step-by-Step Tutorial

Hello Girls,

Happy Weekend everyone, am having a very busy schedule over this and the next weekend as we have to go shopping, decorating, and visiting relatives for Diwali. Hopefully will be able to do some makeup shopping as well.

Recently, I had to attend a day wedding reception (you would understand this if you were a jain). I wore a mauvish pinkish Benarasi saree with silver thread work. Since the saree had all the classic elements, I decided to keep my eye makeup more towards the neutral smokey side and came up with this look. Hope you like it!!!

Let's start with the products used for the eyemakeup:

My KarvaChauth FOTD & OOTD

Hello ladies,

Wishing all of you a very happy KarvaChauth. Being a Jain (by mariiage), I don't celebrate this but have seen my mom do it since I was lil kid. It was a very fascinating festival for me, the main plus point being the henna application. I used to go with my mom and get my hands full of henna, I still love the designs so much, but sadly cannot apply henna as often as I would like to. The second good thing was that she used to eat "sargi" in the morning at which point I also used to accompany her. The only thing I didn't copy was the tough "fast".

So, coming back from the childhood memories, even though I don't fast for my hubby, I never miss an occassion to dress up. Since today is a working day, I decided to keep it simple and wore this ethnic suit to office.

The suit is high neck, pista green in color with bronze aari work embrodery and small mirrored sequins all over and on the collar. The dupatta is chiffon with bronze aari work lace as well. The suit has a bodice which is made up of net and there are kairis done with aari work.

KarvaChauth Eye Makeup Tutorial

Hello Girls,

Now that the festivities are upon us with KarvaChauth happening tomorrow  I decided to do a Eye Makeup tutorial for those who intend to dress up and fast for their better halves. So, this is a very Indian look with some bling and would be appropriate for the night.

Starting off, the products used for this look:

Dusshera Step-by-Step Eye Makeup Tutorial

Hello Girls,

After a long, long time I am back with an eyemakeup tutorial. Though I promised FOTD and OOTD post, the pics were blurred and thus I am not posting them here.
