How CUTE is that name?! 'Pink Popcorn'. Enunciate it - PINK. POPCORN. It'll sound almost provocative. Like an innuendo, but it's not. Is it? I don't know. We'll ask Snoop Doggy Dogg next time, I can imagine him & Nicki Minaj making an explicit hit out of the words ~ "Yo sweet like a pink popcorn, baby..... Why won't you lemme taste ya no mo.....?"
Okay, I'll stop.
You know I'm not supposed to be buying anymore make-up & lipsticks, right? So, the other day I dropped by the MAC store, you know, "just to see what's new & not buy anything" and I saw this lipstick among the Reel Sexy Collection. It had me at 'Pink Popcorn'. It's a Limited Edition, I justified my impulsion.
MAC Pink Popcorn Lipstick:
Finish- Lustre
Color - Lavender Pink
Scent: Mild Vanilla
I find this sheerer than most MAC Lustre lipsticks, and it looks almost milky on my lips. But the color can be built up to look less alien on my lips. I do have to wear more on my eyes (smoky) for this type of shade to look nice on me.

Hey Make-up Lovers,
[In that pic above, are photos I recently took of the Blog Sale Items]
I have received a lot of emails regarding the blog sale, and I'd like to thank all of you for showing interest. Sorry I couldn't reply to all of you, I just didn't know what to tell you! All of you wanted to book some products, almost the same ones, so it wouldn't be fair for me to reserve stuff for anybody. I've had requests about timing, days, and dates, too, so I did my best to keep those in mind, while also thinking about MY preferred timings =D
Dates & Timings:
27th, Friday (1st Batch) - 14:00 PM
28th, Saturday (2nd batch) - 17:00 PM
This is for all you LIPSTICK ADDICTS! My Lipstick Collection revealed!
It was requested many times, and I've actually been meaning to do it for a long time now, but I always thought next week....next week....procrastinate ++++. Now, I can't delay it anymore, since I'm leaving my home & country (reason here)
*Please Note: This is what we Beauty Bloggers do, and we NEVER call it "showing-off", okay? =)
That's never the intention. I personally enjoy seeing other people's makeup-collections & how they store them. I mean, we buy & review them, so we also need to see how they live too, no?
Since I put all my lip products in this stack of drawers, you'll see my other lip products too- lipglosses, lip balms, etc.
SO MUCH to say today! I'll start with the OOTD. It wasn't meant to be a full-on OOTD. I just wanted to click some photos of the dress. The sun washed out the color a lot, and you know the issues I have with my dear dear occasional photographer =D
*And ya, please excuse the all-same-type poses. I needed only one photo out of these.
I have not done a tutorial for you guys since the Black Smokey Eyes I did in....in....May! No wonder I was beginning to feel uneasy.I wanted to do something bright, and decided on MINT- the hottest color of the season. Really, I can't get enough of the color! I keep dreaming about a mint tea set....and mint handbag.....and mint cotton candy (just to look at, not eat).....and I'm looking for a mint t-shirt for Mr.CZ. I know, I'm going mintal.
This is the jewelry haul I mentioned. I look at them every night before sleeping.... let out a sigh of contentment..... show the rings to Mr.CZ- "Look! Sho cute!", for the 10th time!..... put them away in the Aldo bag..... place it beside my nightstand.... and finally.... finally..... put my head on my pillow. Then it's Mr.CZ's turn to sigh aloud =D
Enjoy the pics!
Stacked Gold Bangles ~ From Shimla. I combined 2 types of bangles there. The thick/designed ones were for Rs.150 for 4 pieces, and the thin beaded ones were for Rs.50 for a dozen. I like that they don't look too traditional, and you can still wear them with western outfits. Something like these would probably cost so much more from Accessorize & Aldo.
THEY ARE HERE! The Baby Lips! =)
Maybelline New York launches new Baby Lips
A lip Balm that is set to give you the lips you were born with!
Mumbai July ’12: Maybelline New York, world’s No.1 cosmetic brand has launched a revolutionary lip balm to pamper your lips.

The lip balm is a result of Maybelline New York’s fresh and innovative approach that constantly tries to empower women to look their best.

The lip balm comes in Care and Color range with 7 different bright colours to lighten up your mood.
Baby Lips provides the care you were meant to receive! Adult care for baby soft lips in the most fragrant flavors yet!
I told you I was hunting for a lipstick exactly like Maybelline Touch Of Toffee Color Sensational Lipgloss in my Most Used Beauty Products post. Then reader Aparna (Hello! Thank You!) told me to try Maybelline Totally Toffee Color Sensational Lipstick. I had seen swatches of it before, but somehow I thought it wasn't launched in India (like Born With It). I decided to pick it up 2 weeks back, with Colorbar Passionate Crème Touch Lipstick (and another lipstick, which has another story with an unhappy ending), and......
.....Oh My Bows! Look-at-that! How have I lived without it?! I mean, it's so my type of nude lippie! I think it's a more pigmented sister of Touch Of Toffee. It's perfect for my lips, coz the undertone is neither too pink nor too peach & neither too warm nor too cool. It's a neutral nude lippie. If, God forbid, my favorite nude lippie MAC Patisserie were ever discontinued, Totally Toffee could easily replace it. Not that they're the same, Patisserie is much lighter and glossier.
I prefer it to My Mahogany, simply because I think it suits my skin tone better.
