Lip Smackers!!

Hey Beautiful People,

Yes Summer is so on!! and its getting friggin hot by the day!! I don't know about you guys but i've been staying indoors...my skin can't handle the sun :)

Well my aunt just brought me some make up stuffs from abroad and yes I love make-up (even though im not a pro). I love experimenting with new products, trying out new things, specially eye shadows and lip products.
So she brought me these cool stuff from Revlon which I had been eye-ing for quite some time now. They're called the Lipbalm+Stain Just Bitten Collection. She got me two of those, one in a nice shade of pink called Passion and the other in a darker shade called Forbidden. She also got me a lipstick from the color burst lip butter collection in the shade called Cotton Candy. Here are the pictures of them and swatches on my lips :) Enjoy

lipbalm+stain 7.98$

Sorry for the bad quality pics..Im planning on upgrading for a better camera soon!!

So the downside of Revlon lip product that I tried was
1. The lipstick turned out to be too sheer although the color looked nice, it wasn't pigmented enough. I had to keep applying layers to get the color that too it barely got there..but it has a nice shine and is like a good lip balm which hydrates the lips.
2. The lip balm+stain also had the same problem. The colors looked nice, but they weren't really pigmented! Although this lasted the whole day :) so that means its a good thing.

But both are fun kinda thing to try on!!Specially for the ladies who like less color and more hydration :) i love the idea of the lipbalm+stain coz it looks like marker pen and is really very easy to apply!!

Hope you guys enjoyed reading this :)
Stay gorgeous, stay beautiful

Nude Geometrixx!!

 
Hello my beautiful peeps,

Yet again I’m up with another easy-breezy nail-do to brighten up your hands!! This one I call Nude Geometrixxs. The base color is nude. You can chose any shade of nude or bright colors if you like 

  1. First apply a generous coat of ur base color. I’ve used one from Avon here.

 2. Then apply your shimmer/shiny polish creating a triangle on the tip of your nails. 


  1. Taking a black striper (u can use a toothpick) if you don’t have one and line the tip of the triangle like so
  2. Then you take your black nailpolish and create a mini triangle in the big silver triangle.


  1. All you have to do now is apply a good layer of your top-coat and leave it to dry!!

Voila!! You have your shiny nail accessory on and your ready to hit the town J

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial… Feel free to give suggestions and feedbacks

Till then stay beautiful

Xoxo

Glitter N Gold!!

My beautiful ladies,

We all know how important it is to have our nails look prim and proper!! Its like to have good nails and hands are a must! they do make an impression and add to your personality!

Nail-dos and funky nail art is like an obsession for me!! I love painting my nails and change them every two or three days....I have posted several nail art pics that i've done so far in my instagram but have never really blogged about it!! Also summer is close by so why not add some color into your life... a manicure and nail art can create a huge difference in your look :)

So today Imma share one I did recently this afternoon!! I call this GLITTERATI RED!!

All you need is a nail polish of a color that you like, a base coat-to protect your nails, a glitter polish or some nail glitter can work too and a top coat to seal of your design.

1. You start with applying the base coat to all your nails.

2. Second you apply the nail color of your choice. Now you can either apply two coats or leave it with just one coat.I chose the color red
 



3. after applying your nail polish let it dry completely. Then you start applying your glitter polish. Start at the bottom of your nails, near the cuticle and work your way up. You don't want your full nail covered in glitter, create a gradient effect like so




















4. after you done, apply a generous amount of top coat to seal off your design and your ready to go :)

I chose red as it's one of my favourite color and you can do this for wedding season, or for the brides to be to make your nails look funky and add some life!! 

Some more pics of such nail-dos that I found on the internet!!
 

So take out ur polishes, get your nails painting and have fun this summer :)

Eye~Candy

Hello to all the beautiful people out there!!

I know its been ages i haven't blogged apart from me promising to do so regularly. Its just that we have so much going on in our lives that blog just doesn't seem to get that much attention frankly!! However I think again, that I shud continue this blog with whatever pops in my mind :) And from now on I'm gonna start blogging about whatsoever little knowledge I have of Fashion and everything else!!! :P

In this one I'm Particularly going to write about Falsies...or fake lashes!! I know rite...its the next big thing, it gives your eyes that POP (specially for the gurls with small, straight,and thin lashes). Trust me...a big whoop of mascara with the falsies can totally change your look and intensify those eyes!! and sultry, sexy eyes is something that is going to be big this summer!! You can keep your makeup minimum and jus add those lashes to bring out that natural yet beautiful look!!

Recently my sis from Hongkong got me these two cute/sexy lashes which are very fancy and I wouldn't advice you to wear them on a normal day!!! However they turned out to be pretty edgy, and cool at the same time so have a look!!



starry eyed gurl :)
 The pictures of me wearing the falsies were taken by my cuzzies who's a beginner at photography!! Check out his link for his pictures https://www.facebook.com/nakul42?ref=ts&fref=ts

Taking care of those eyes is a must, hence please do not sleep on with the false lashes as it may cause irritation and eye infection!! And store the lashes with care :) Wearing them is very easy, it usually comes on with a glue so after u wear them glue u jus stick it on to ur eyelids after completion of eyemakeup and voila...ur ready to rock ur new lashes :)

Stay beautiful <3
