I'm not a fan of 3D movies. I watched Pirates Of The Caribbean - On Stranger's Tide, I think- on 3D at the movies once, and it made me feel a bit dizzy because I'm extremely prone to motion sickness. My high nose bridge also hated those glasses! I tried lifting them up, but then Johnny Depp looked all grainy.
3D lashes. Now that's a different story. I would buy a 3D TV and put on them glasses everyday if, in return, they gave me 3D-looking lashes for eternity. Yes, I would.
For your reference, I compiled some fuchsia & purple lipsticks. These are some of the ones I have swatched:
1. Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain Sweetheart ~ More swatches here
2. Maybelline Superstay Infinitely Fuchsia ~ I wore it here
3. MAC Flat Out Fabulous ~ More photos & swatches here
4. MAC Daddy's Little Girl ~ I wore it here
5. Maybelline Color Sensational Vivids Hot Plum ~ More swathes here
6. YSL Rouge Volupte Shine #19 Fuchsia In Rage ~ I wore it here
7. Revon Super Lustrous Va Va Violet + 2 (Maybelline Infinitely Fuchsia) ~ I created this. More here
8. MAC Violetta ~ This a Limited Edition from Venomous Villains Collection. Pics here
I love them all in different ways, but if I had to pick only 2 must-haves: Maybelline Superstay Infintely Fuchsia & Revlon Super Lustrous Va Va Violet. Both drugstore brands, both amazing.
Which are your favorites? Also, do let me know if you like these compilations. If you want me to do more, which color next?
Happy Monday, everyone! Hope you had a fun weekend. I have some new products to show you today. Revlon India has added 3 new exciting products to their PhotoReady range - BB Cream, Kajal & Mascara.
Revlon PhotoReady BB Cream in Medium ~ Skin Perfector with SPF 30. A lightweight, multi-benefit Beauty Balm that combines skincare, makeup, and sunscreen into one step. Shades available- Light, Light/Medium, Medium. Price: Rs.550.
Hello! Last night, after a long time, I spent more than 5 mins painting my nails. I have also decided that one my fall nail colors will be 'BLUE' - deep & dazzling blues. Sometimes with some bling bling, coz I don't have the patience for much else. This is the only blue nail polish I own right now, so I need to go hunt for a couple more, although I'm trying not to buy too many nail polishes because of my living situation.
You know fingertip rings or 'midi rings' all all the rage now. I find them cute, but I think I would end up losing them a lot, or worse, they follow the water down the sink! I guess I'll have to take them off before washing my hands.
This whole week went kind of fast, and I was having a serious case of....of....let's just say I wasn't feeling very active and wasn't enthu about anything. Women.
Today, I decided only the newly-launched Bourjois Java Rice Powder, a deep purple lipstick, and a few minutes alone in Shoe Heaven will bring hyper-goofy me back. YEAH!!! Tutalasmorrre.....
'Pink In The Afternoon' ~ I think it's a brilliant name for this particular shade. If I had to guess how the person who named it thought of it....
As a regular lipstick swatcher, I've noticed lipsticks change tones when photographed in the afternoon when the sun is up. I think I've seen this shade come out in a few cool-toned pink lipstick photos, and probably got annoyed, because it's not really their color. So, I think the Revlon Lipstick Shade Namer wore a pink lipstick one day, clicked a photo in the afternoon (she probably Instagrammed it too if Instagram existed then), liked how the afternoon sun changed her lipstick shade, and decided she wanted that sun-made shade in a tube. She went to the office next day, swatched the lipstick on her arm/lips at 2 pm in the afternoon, stood near a window facing the sun, and then she called the Revlon Lipstick Maker to come see the color. She said to him/her: "This. Make this."
Okay, to corroborate my pink lipstick + afternoon sun story, go see the last pic here.
Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick Pink In The Afternoon is a warm medium pink with a peachy undertone. I'm liking it a lot, because it's very moisturizing & the shade makes me feel girly. The texture is creamy, but not heavy & tacky creamy. It sits well on my lips, and doesn't wear off too fast. Yes, it's fragrance-free.
If there's a pink lipstick that's simply feminine, and would suit light to dark skin tones, this is it.
One fact about me: I hate papaya. I've tried eating it so many times, because people keep saying how beneficial it is health-wise & beauty-wise, but I just CAN'T. I think it smells a little like butter, which I also hate. The cluster of black seeds in it also kind of creeps me out, I always get goosebumps when I look at them.
Okay, enough about the fruit, and let's move on to a different kind of papaya that I don't mind getting near my mouth and nose ~ Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Juicy Papaya, which is one of the 4 new shades that were launched recently. It's a lighter & less orange version of Tutti Frutti.
I wanted to end this week with a happy colorful blog post! These are some lippies that I hauled today and one of them some other day. I went to the market with only the YSL lipstick in mind, but I saw the Bourjois Shine Edition Lipsticks, which I'd been after for quite some time. Look! The colorful packaging is so cute! I had to get one of each color, but I didn't see the green/mint one.
- YSL Rouge Volupte Shine Pink In Paris #13 ~ I didn't like the original Rouge Volupte Lipstick because they were too creamy for my taste, but I adore the packaging. That's why I was happy to see a new sheerer formula. Pink In Paris! ♥
- Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter Juicy Papaya ~ One of the new shades introduced. Juicy Papaya is peachier than Tutti Frutti, which is more orange.
- Revlon Super Lustrous Pink In The Afternoon ~ It was on sale at Superdrug.
- Bourjois Shine Edition 22 Famous Fuchsia ~ Pastel yellow packaging! ♥
- Bourjois Shine Edition 20 1,2,3 Soleil ~ Quirky name, gonna google what it means! Un, Dos, Tres Soleil!
- Bourjois Shine Edition 24 Rose xoxo ~ Cute name! xoxo.
Will post swatches of everything in the coming week(s)
TheBalm Instain Long-Wearing Powder Staining Blush ~ I want ALL OF THEM! But I'll probably only get Argyle, Lace & Houndstooth.
Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss ~ New packaging, new shades. I like the 3rd one, Super Natural, which is my kind of nude shade
Accessorize Eyeshadow Palette ~ These palettes are so pretty! This 'Exposed' palette has all brown & neutral shades.
Topshop Makeup Brushes ~ Hot Pink! I really really want the 2nd flat angled foundation brush. Then the 3rd & 5th.
Topshop Lip Bullet ~ These are such a nice change from lip crayons. I like one shade called 'Covet'- extreme left.
Olay Glow Perfectors BB Cream Moisturising Cream +Plus Touch Of Foundation by Max Factor ~ I'm not sure I want this, but I thought I'd just put up the pic in case you're interested.
Michael Kors Rose Gold Watches ~ The one I had my eye on for ages isn't here, but I like a couple out of these.
Tokidoki Pittura Brush Set ~ These were launched long back, so i don't know if they're still available. WANT! Oh, there's more....
Tokidoki Pittura Brush Set 24 Karat Edition ~ Those are bracelets!
Vera Wang Lovestruck EDP ~ The fragrance was inspired by a modern day version of the story of Romeo and Juliet, and the bottle decorated with a tulle bow and deep berry flowers. I'm lovestruck! I want it NOW.

What are you drooling over these days?
P.S. I got sick, so posting will be random like this for a few days. But ya, I'll find a way to shop, and come back with a haul ;)
Birthday Girl is not supposed to blog, but she realized she wants to celebrate with you all too.
This is not my look for today, I've yet to wear my birthday suit. I did this makeup over a week back. Ya, that's how pale I am now. I will update this post with many more pics and list of all the products I used, because I have to head out asap.

I made my wish last night after 12 am, now it's time to make yours. Close your eyes and wish for something you want with all your heart. It will come true. (*_*)
Bye for now, and thank you for being here. Do come back to check this post tomorrow night or Friday morning- it will have (Updated) in the title.*
*Now Updated! =)
P.S. It was a gloomy day, so Rimmel Wake Me Up, a foundation with shimmer, was a bad choice, because most of the photos came out too unnaturally bright. In some deleted pics I looked like a ghost, or The Joker....seriously.
The other day, I visited the Boots here in Dundee for the first time. I was this close to buying several things, then I shocked myself- I returned them to their shelves. Sometimes I feel I deserve a medal every time I do that. Or....people standing outside the store applauding when I come out without a bag.
By "Window Shooping", I mean go to a store, browse, and not buy anything, okay? Not peek through a store window like some kind of stalker. I surreptitiously took pictures of some of the new products that interested me- surprisingly, mostly nail polishes this time....
Bourjois JE T'AIME Vintage Blush ~ These are 3 of their best-selling shades- Rose D'or 33, Cendre de Roses Brune 48 & Brun Cuivre 03. I was disappointed that they only put a sticker on top of their regular pots to make them look "vintage". I've reviewed Cendre de Roses Brune here. You can also see all the Bourjois blush shades here
*Bourjois is also launching Cream Blushes soon.
Bourjois So Laque Glossy Nail Enamel ~ I love these bright & pastel colors. I was tempted to get that taupe shade between the mint & blue. It's called Taupe Modele 05. Also, that pink shade...and yellow...and....
All words from the romance genre ~ "A Rendezvous with my Sweetheart, whois sweeterthinks I'm sweeter than Honey."
(And that is why I will never be a poet.)
Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains have caused quite a stir lately, and today I'll be the one stirring- with 3 colorful ladles.
Honey 001 ~ It's a dusty pink shade that could look mlbb (my lips but better) on some people. It's the kind of lippy that goes with everything.
Sweetheart 025 ~ Fuchsia pink. There's something about this color, it looks good on everyone. I have to send one to my cousin sister because she liked it so much when she tried it. I find that the finish is a tad different from the other 2- it's smoother, and makes my lips look a lil' bit plumper.
Rendezvous 040 ~ A true orange shade. It's almost exactly the color of the orange Cadbury Gems. It's a color that always stands out. Although I don't wear it much, I know I'll miss it if I don't have it.
They didn't all fit on the window sill, so I took them to the backyard table. The biting cold forced me to scatter them haphazardly. For the first time, the wind didn't knock any of them off where they lay disorderly....and none of them fell through the gaps on the wooden planks. "Little joys.", I thought to myself. A minute later, I saw the first 10 drops of rain on the little black boxes.
These are the beauty products I brought back with me from our brief India holiday.... apart from the beauty bags I already had with me =D
