TIGI Catwalk Hair Collection For Lakmé Studio ~ Products For Straight, Curly & Voluminous Hair


I had never really paid attention to TIGI products before, until I took a closer look at the Catwalk Collection at Lakmé Studio, Lakmé Fashion Week. The brand has got products for every hair type. I felt like I was living under a rock all that time! Now I've decided that 2012 will be 'Year Of The Hair' for me. Here, I'll be showing all the products from TIGI Catwalk Collection: 
  • TIGI Your Highness High Volume Collection: This collection promises to add body, fight frizz and give impeccable body and fullness. Ingredients like Jasmine, Lavender, Wisteria and Violet nourish each strand for soft, touchable hair with incredible volume.
  • TIGI Catwalk Curlesque Curl Collection: This Collection invites you to embrace the idea of enhancing natural curls and waves to bring out the very best in your hair. Using advanced marine biology ingredients, a fusion of Kelp, Algae, Cucumber Water, Sea Weed and Sea Fennel form the Catwalk Aquacomplex. Harnessing the power of the ocean, these rich botanicals deliver extraordinary hydration and definition.
  • TIGI Catwalk Sleek Mystique Straight Collection: Transform hair into silky, glossy fluid perfection. Inspired by the mysteries of the Orient, Sleek Mystique contains the Catwalk Exotic Infusion of Lychee, Bamboo, Honeysuckle, Dragon Fruit and Rice Bran Oil. This provocative blend smoothes, improves strength and adds divine shine to every hair type creating a sublime canvas. Entice your senses and immerse yourself in pure bliss.

Big Buns & Glam Makeup by Lakmé Studio, Day-5 Lakmé Fashion Week

The last day at LFW Talent Box was all about big buns (up north!). Lakmé Studio created 2 types of buns- side & center. They looked so good that I'm thinking about getting some clip-on extensions & hair stuffing for myself, so I can do one someday. The make-up was nude & peachy & glittery- super pretty!

Lakmé Studio Gave Me Model Hair & Tuxedo Nails

On Day-3 of Lakmé Fashion Week, I got to try out Lakmé Studio's 'Ultimate Blow Dry'. It was amazing, especially since I hardly spend time on styling my hair most times. Take a look at the transformation......

Lakmé Studio At Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2012 Day-1 Photos & My OOTD


My first day at Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2012 felt so surreal. It was so busy! I went at around 4 PM, and left at 7 PM. My feet hurt & I couldn't feel them anymore coz I stuffed my shoes so tightly, so my heels wont slip out when I walk, that the blood didn't flow to my toes =D. But it was a good 1st experience, I met some wonderful people & clicked a lot of photos!

Lakmé Studio at Talent Box, is filled with chicas getting free make-overs by the team. They do everything
beauty related:
  • Makeup
  • Airbrush Make-up
  • Nail Art
  • Hair Styling ~ Anything without water: Blowdry, Ironing, Curling, etc.

I'm Lakmé Studio's Official Blogger at Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2012


I will be the Official Blogger for Lakmé Studio/Salon at the Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2012 Talent Box, from 2nd - 6th March, 2012, at Grand Hyatt Mumbai.

I feel so honored & treasure this baby (blog) a bit more now. Lakmé Studio is sponsoring everything- my plane tickets & hotel. I'll be staying at Grand Hyatt, where LFW is held. Yippee...I'm so happy that I just have to take a lift down & not have to deal with cab drivers everyday.

I'm excited to see what goes on at LFW,  looking forward to finally meet the kind people whom I've been interacting with for a long long time via emails, and  make-up & beauty enthusiast in me is thrilled to see all the fab looks that'll be created by Lakmé Studio Experts.

During that time, I'll be blogging from there & share what's happening & photos with you guys everyday.

But right now, "Official Blogger" is going M-A-D!
  • I have to make up my mind which final 5 'Fashion Week Appropriate' outfits to pack. More difficult when I'll have to dress up out of a suitcase.
  • I don't have the shoes I want to wear. You know no store sells my size. I have to make do with old blahs & uncomfortables.Steve Madden, Aldo, Charles & Keith aren't empathetic shoe brands, I tell you.
  • I'm trying my best to fully cure my flu NOW (steam inhalations, Vit-C, pills....green tea, ugh)
  • My skin is in bad condition- 4 scarry pimples on cheek & chin. Of course they had to appear when they aren't supposed to, no? =\
  • Aaah!

But I have to, can't wait to, be there!

I'll be meeting people I've never met before, so please wish me luck! I don't want to be a nervous wreck....or trip in my uncomfortable shoes =D

Any of you attending LFW, btw? Maybe we'll meet? :)

Lakmé Absolute Mattreal Skin Natural Mousse Foundation: Awesome, BUT....


It kinda looks like Magic 8 Ball, no? Okay, let's pretend it is. "Will the foundation inside make my skin flawless?"

*Shakes ball* [Answer at the end of the post]

What it is:
Lakmé Absolute Mattreal Skin Natural Mousse is a feather light foundation with a mousse to powder finish. It claims to last upto 16 hours & has SPF 8.

Available in 2 shades: Ivory Fair & Beige Honey.

I got Ivory Fair , which pretty much suits my MAC NC 25 skin tone.

Lakmé Absolute White Intense Skin Cover SPF 25 Review


Have you seen the movie "The Skin I Live In"? It's weird, but well-written. Somehow Lakmé Absolute White Intense Skin Cover SPF 25 makes me think of the movie. Skin....Skin. Don't you think that word sounds weird? Rumpelstiltskin. Oh-kay it sounds even weirder now.

What it is:
This ultra light, oil-free, water based formula delivers naturally fair, breathable skin. Its weightless formulation hides pores, fine lines and uneven skin tone to leave skin peachy soft all through the day. It lasts up to 16 hours without fading and has Vitamin B3 and sun protection of SPF 25.

Available in 3 shades: 01 Ivory Fair, 03 Golden Medium, 05 Beige Honey.

I picked 03 Golden Medium. It suits me the best, but is still on the lighter side, although it adapts to my skin tone well & doesn't make me look ghastly. If your skin tone is darker than mine, the darker shade might be a better match.

Lakmé Absolute Plump & Shine 3D Glosses Review & Swatches


"The secret to that juicy pout unravels. This revolutionary 3D lip gloss contains Marine Collagen and high shine pigments to keep lips plump and hydrated all day long." ~ Lakmé

I got 2 shades to try out: 
  • Berryshine ~ A peach with gold shimmer. This is the most attractive out of all the shades in this range. I really love how it looks in the tube! I'd pick it over Nars Orgasm  Lip Gloss, any given day.
  • Candyshine ~ Candy pink with gold & purple shimmer.

These lip glosses look so pretty & tempting in the packaging- especially Berryshine.

Lakmé Absolute Fast & Fabulous Nail Color Purple Plunge


Meet the NNPOTB (New Nail Polish On the Block, okay?Lakmé Fast & Fabulous Nail Color, which promises to go from Wet to Set in 40 seconds & boasts of its unique brush for 1 stroke application.

In the pics I had applied 3 coats of the nail color since it's the shimmery kind. Man, did it dry quick! And yes, the brush is thicker than most nail polish brushes and covers the whole nail at once. It was a cakewalk applying Purple Plunge- no streaks, TG! Although it's a shimmery nail color, it doesn't have a gritty feel, it feels smooth. The shade is rather too cold for this season, but it's one of the prettiest shades in the collection & I couldn't resist.

Lakme Nine To Five Kohl Ultimate Review


Q:  What is soft & very black like a kajal, but:
  • is easier to use precisely,
  • looks like eyeshadow when smudged,
  • is waterproof,
  • never gives raccoon eyes?

A:   "Lakme Kohl Ultimate", baby!

About Lakme Kohl Ultimate:
The Kohl Ultimate is a kohl, smudger and sharpener all in one stick. You can create the smoky look with ease by using the smudge tip to smudge the kohl line outwards!

Claims:
-  3-in-1 smooth kohl stick with smudger and sharpener
-  Moisturizing ceramides will smooth and soften the eye skin (Wth does that even mean? lol)
-  Smudge-proof and water-resistant
-  Ensures 8 hours of great looking eyes
-  Dermatologist approved


I heart Kohl Ultimate! It's does what it claims, I like the way it's packaged (very classy....and fun, like a toy), it is so soft & gentle on my eyes, it lasts all day- though you may need to reapply on the waterline.

Pro #1 ~ Somehow, when I wear this, my sensitive eyes, which are prone to redness, don't get red so easily. Maybe the Moisturising Ceramides prevent my eyes from drying.

Con #1 ~ The sharpener is quite tight and doesn't sharpen the pencil very neatly (refer to pic above), thought it didn't break the tip or anything like that.

About the smudge tip: It is a cool addition. It's made of rubber and has it's very own transparent cap. How it's shaped was well thought of, because I can hold it at any angle and it'll never feel uncomfortable or awkward while smudging.
