Lotus Herbals Gorgeous Natural Diva Kit Review, Swatches & Look

'Diva' can mean 2 different things- one good, one bad. Good: a woman who's glamorous/a good singer. Bad: a woman who's a 'prima donna'- a spoiled, high maintenance, temperamental, and demanding woman who throws a fit if she doesn't get her way. Mariah Carey, for one, is known for her outrageous 'diva' demands. I read an article in a magazine a long time ago, but forgotten what demands exactly. Here's what I found on the net:

 "Mariah Carey is known for her diva behavior. Her diva demands include having a huge entourage, having special people to help her sit if her dress is so gorgeous she doesn't want it to get crushed. Mariah even brings her own toilet roll!

At a Christmas lighting event in London in 2008 Mariah insisted on being surrounded by 20 white kittens and 100 white doves for her appearance with butterfly shaped confetti to be showered on her by the end of her performance."

She also keeps an attendant in her dressing room.....to hand her towels! Then I guess she's both. She earned it, so.....why not, eh?

No white kittens, doves, and towel-handlers, for us lesser mortals. We don't want them, anyway... chi! Says the fox-y lady. Okay, now on to topic of the day- Lotus Herbals Gorgeous Natural Diva kit (Are you also thinking why the 'Natural'?)

The kit contains a base stick, a lipstick & a red nail polish- all for only Rs.499. Here I'm wearing all the products from the kit. 

Eyes: Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette & demi (half) lashes.

Concealer, Blush & Bronzer: MAC Studio Finish Concealer & Chromagraphic Pencil, Laura Mercier Undercover Pot, MAC Fleur Power, The Body Shop Honey Bronze Bronzing Powder.

Bows, Frills, And Fun At Lakmé Absolute Fab Lab

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!

My Outfit ~ Day 3 Lakmé Fashion Week

This was my outfit of Day 3 Lakmé Fashion Week. You know, I never plan to be matchy-matchy, but sometimes it's the only way to go.

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......

Weird but cute, no?

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:

• Airbrush Make-up
