Berry Nice

I clicked these pics in February, and almost didn't want to post them. Because I hate that reddish shades don't show up as they are in photos, and also because they're not very good nail polish swatches (I can almost hear myself apologizing to myself for expecting too much from myself.)

This is one of the pricey OPI-inspired Colorbar Pro Nail Lacquers named Berry Nice. Ergo Therefore, it's a berry shade. 

Torlen Professional Soft Touch Fuschia Hair Straightener ~ It's PINK!

This is for all you girls who've been asking me about hair straighteners. I've got a pretty good one that's available in India and.....and... it's PINK! =)

Torlen Soft Touch Fuschia Hair Straightener was a tool that caught my fancy backstage at Lakmé Fashion Week, because I've a-l-w-a-y-s wanted a pink hair iron. So.... I asked a kind lady from Lakmé Studio to help me get it, and she did. I was over the moon when I got it before leaving Mumbai!

Temperature control, ON & OFF button. I usually keep it at 150°C

MAC Genuine Treasure Paint Pot........

.......is a genuine treasure. No, ......is a treasure. Yes, they both sound dumb. Thank goodness I didn't put them in the title, phew.

Oh-My-Bows! This one puts the Posh in MAC Posh Paradise. If you like glitter on your eyes, but can't be bothered about the tedious methods - with Vaseline & clear lip gloss & Duraline, then MAC Genuine Treasure is the answer!

About MAC Paint Pot:

A highly pigmented eye colour that goes on creamy but dries to an intense, vibrant finish. Long-wearing, colourfast. Creates seamless coverage without weight or caking. Blends smoothly over the lids. Cream-based, can be mixed with M·A·C shadows and liners.

Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick Thrilling Pink Review, Swatches, Look

I like that Colorbar has nice names for all their lipsticks, but 'Thrilling Pink' would have suited a hot pink shade more, don't you think so? I would have named this color 'Pink Cloud'. Ooh... naming lipsticks, now that's thrilling!

I've already written a review on these lippies here , and my opinion on them is still the same. Colorbar Thrilling Pink lipstick is a pretty & wearable neutral pink shade. It was so hard to capture the true color of it on camera- it kept coming out too warm than it really is. There's nothing I hate more than inexact swatches (in this area of life). The color up there is almost exact.

Colorbar Thrilling Pink ~ The matching bottoms are still the cutest parts of these lipsticks

MAC Party Parrot Lipstick ~ Nothing Like It!

Does 'Party Parrot' actually mean something? I really don't know. The two words fit so well together- so puh-puh ["That girl is such a party  animal  parrot."]

MAC Party Parrot Lipstick from Iris Apfel Collection is a fabulous neon coral-ish pink with a matte finish. The unique shade is undeniably gorgeous, I adore it so much!

It's super pigmented! So hard to take off my lips. That swatch on my hand up there? It didn't come off completely even after 3 showers! It doesn't feel drying on my lips, coz it is a little creamy- you will notice from the lip swatches......

ORANGE Outfit & My Last Day At LFW

I almost forgot to post these pics, you know. So this was what I wore on the last day of Lakmé Fashion Week- all ORANGE, but not up to my ankles, like at the school farewell party I told you about here =D

Hope you'll enjoy the pics! Please excuse some of the unclear/blurry ones. Only MY own hands can control my camera =\

Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Airbrush Finish Foundation ~ Product of The Week

Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation is 'Product Of The Week'. You'll see why in a bit. I got Nude Light 4, which is a tad lighter than my skin tone, but it settles down after blending & mimics my skin tone. I was confused between Light 4 & Light 3.5 (slightly darker shade), but I was afraid 3.5 would look a little too orange. I have to take another look at it to know for sure though, please don't quote me yet.

March Haul ~ MAC Posh Paradise & Iris Apfel, Colorbar, Aldo, ZARA

Hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was "legendary-wait for it-dary!" Okay, that was only me copying Randy from HIMYM's funniest episode & my favorite till date. I don't know why it's on my mind at this moment. My weekend was good, but I wouldn't call it Barney Stinson's catch phrase. 

So on Saturday, I went shopping for 2 things- a ZARA jacket & a MAC Paint Pot, but I ended up buying....well, a few more good shhtuff. 

MAC:

• Genuine Treasure Paint Pot from Posh Paradise Collection, Rs.1350 ~ Paint Pot with shimmer...yum! The moment I saw it, I knew it'd be sinful not to own it. I'm so excited to try it out! Will review it in a few days. In case you missed, reviews of other Mac Paint Pots- Constructivist here & Painterly here

• Party Parrot Lipstick (Matte) from Iris Apfel Collection, Rs.990 ~ I don't have any lipstick like that, the color is so unique. It might be similar to Malaika's lipstick in Cosmopolitan here.

Aldo: I had no intention of buying anything when I went in, but....

• Melso Necklace, Rs.600 ~ Impulse buy, but I sort of needed a plain gold chunky necklace.

• Butterfly Drop Earrings, Rs.500 ~ How cute are those fluttery wings?! Yes, I do realize that I buy a lot of butterfly jewelry =D

Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipsticks in Thrilling Pink & Obsessed Orange, Rs.225 each. I was gonna get only Obsessed Orange to show you guys another orange lippie, after the Happy Orange Products post, but Thrilling Pink looked so pretty I couldn't resist, plus it looks like a dupe for Maybelline Color Sensational Pink Please
