5 Holy Grail Tools For Facial Hair

These 5 tools will tackle all your facial hair issues in minutes:

Eyebrow Shaver ~ This has saved me from going out with bad brows many a times. Say, you have to go to an impromptu party and your eyebrows are 'argh!', and you know last minute tweezing them will only lead to redness (and swelling if you have thick hair), an eyebrow shaver is your go-to tool. You have to have this. This one I have is by a brand called Lesasha, which I got from Bangkok many years ago, but still does its job well until now.

Easy Leopard Look For Halloween

Unleash your inner animal this Halloween the easy way. I think we have a little bit of leopard-ness in all of us. Even though I love animal print clothes & accessories, I've never been a fan of the cat family (sorry!), except for Hello Kitty, coz she doesn't have claws and sharp teeth. And she has a bow-shaped peace sign on her forehead :). But after doing this look, I might say yes if my kids want a cat someday.

 At first I drew longer whiskers but my shaky fingers got stage fright half-way, so I cleaned it all up and drew shorter ones instead =D

IN2IT Cosmetics Haul

I'm still not over my IN2IT cosmetics craze,you know. I just think it's such a unique makeup brand. The design of their packaging sets them apart from all the drugstore brands. Even the quality of the products are really really good for the price.

Here are the IN2IT pretties I'm hearting.....

Blush Brush in Mirror Compact ~ Tell me that's not cute! The compact is white with silver swirl design. Very pretty. The blush brush is so soft and silky, more so than my own hair (i.e. on a good hair day)

Lakme Gypsy Collection True Wear Nail Color Swatches & Review

I know, I know, it's like a Lakme Gypsy Collection parade over here lately, but this was requested, so... :)

In case you didn't know, a purple nail polish broke when these were delivered to me, that's why they look dirty (and I didn't want to waste my nail polish remover cleaning all that ;p )

I'll try to describe the shades in my own words.

• 245 ~ Moulin Rouge Red (love!)
• 422 ~ Tomato Red
• 246 ~  Fuchsia with shimmer

Lakme Gypsy Collection Sheer Satin Lip Gloss Swatches & Review

Drench your lips in molten shine, with this smooth, feather-light gloss for hours of dazzling, mirror-like shine. Infused with moisturizing vitamins so you can treat your lips to an ultra-comfortable, satin finish.

Available in 8 shades.

Wella Kolestint Hair Color Review & Swatch

Wella Kolestint is the new hair color in the Indian market. Launched by Dimple Kapadia & Jacqueline Fernandez, I found out.

I wanted to lighten my hair about 2 levels. There are 10 levels of hair color ~ 1 being black & 10 being lightest blonde. My first choice this time was Revlon Colorsilk Light Ash Brown (which I've used before), but it wasn't available at my supermarket, so I picked what I thought was the next best thing ~ Wella Kolestint Light Brown #6/0. 

I was excited to try something new for a change.

Karva Chauth Gifts ~ Inglot ;)

Karva Chauth is a festive day in Hindu tradition where married women fast for the well-being, prosperity and longevity of their husband. Then they would wait until the moon rises to eat. Now that's just the gist and as far as I know. To know more about this Indian tradition, you can go  here .

I am a Christian, but I married a Hindu man, so I do the fasting bit, coz I want my husband to live as long as me & be very very successful so that he'll get me lots and lots of gifts! ;D. Women apply mehendi the day before Karva Chauth, but I don't coz I just don't like it. No offense to those who love it :)


I've only had a cup of tea since morning. Take away my food but don't you dare take away my morning tea!

Anyways, the man I'm fasting for got me 2 things from Inglot...

Brush 24SS & AMC Cream Blush #84

Of course, I told him exactly what to get :). Will let you know what I think about them later.

Now I just have to wait for the moon to rise and pounce on my KFC! Mmm....

Hope all you Indian ladies out there had a lovely Karva Chauth & I wish you a long and happy married life.

Lakme Gypsy Collection Eye Color Quartet Swatches & Review

Versatile quartets of vivid, high intensity color powders put together to color, shape and highlight your eyes in an explosion of radiant color.

Some of you know what these eyeshadows looked like when they were delivered to me (see here) but somehow I managed to press the broken ones and clean the palettes so they'd look presentable.

Available in 2 shades: Tanjore Rush & Silk Route

Top 10 Favorites This Week

Some things just bring a smile to your face, no matter how crap you're feeling. I thought about getting myself a puppy, but I know I'd be battling with a different kind of 'crap'. Been there, done that. So I figured it's better to find happiness in the things I already have & don't have to toilet train.

Here are my Top 10 Favorite Things this week:

My Yellow Kettle ~ My other electric kettle didn't come on a few days back (I thought it was spoiled but actually it was a trip), so I started using this, which I was saving for special occasions, which never came =D. I like to have yellow things in my kitchen (and wardrobe). It's just such a happy color. I'm looking for a set of cute yellow cups to go with it.
