Remember when my handbag was stolen in Goa last December? Well, I didn't find a wallet to replace the one that's stolen along with it. I'd been using a very old tattered cream/gold Nine West one. I washed it once, and the water left brown/rust marks on the material that it looked dirty =\ . But still, I kept using it, like a cheapskate (even hiding it from store managers at the counters) I just didn't want to buy anything I didn't fancy enough, I wanted something different....something that isn't black....something girly.....something with a bow....something that would fit in a small handbag....Where, where are you???!!!
Then the week before I left Delhi, I saw it. THE ONE. I almost screamed and jumped up & down in the Forever New Store.
I know, I know. I'm very very late with this review. It's one of the pending ones from India, and I've had these pics for 4 months! My dark roots are already about 3 inches, and I'm thinking about changing the color again. So, I want to quickly show you how Liese Bubble Hair Color Platinum Beige looked on me.
I love Liese hair colors mainly because the bubbly foam makes it very easy to color evenly without missing any spots at the back of the head.
Platinum Beige is an ash brown shade.
Just when I thought I had had enough of MAC's limited editions this year, BAM! They bring in Marilyn Monroe.
I like the packaging, although I personally think it couldn't have been.... even more attractive.
Launching in the UK first week of October. India- no idea, probably next year?
Can't. CAN'T. Wait.
I'm getting a lipstick for sure. Those lashes look fab too. And one of those blushes. And..... argh.... I have to watch How To Marry A Millionaire now!
Are you excited about this collection?

I like Katy Perry. I like false lashes. I like pretty packaging. I like romance-inspired names on cosmetics (I would name a lipstick "Unfaithful" someday....someday.)
So ya, I did fall hard for the Eylure Katy Perry Lashes ever since they were launched.
All Eylure Katy Perry lashes are handmade, 100% natural and each style is reusable. Adhesive included in all.
Monday Evening, 24th September '12, Newcastle Upon Tyne: It rained the whole frickin' day, the internet hadn't been activated yet, I was feeling out of sorts. I just wanted to curl up on the couch with some random show on British tv & a cup of Tetley. BUT we had to make a trip to Sainsbury's (supermarket) to buy some necessary groceries. On the way, my right hand was almost frozen, because both Mr.CZ & I had to hold the edges of the umbrella, so the wind wouldn't blow it into a Y shape. If not for Instyle, some cute table mats & a pack of chilli powder (authentically Indian, mind you), it wouldn't have been worth it.
The magazine section is near the entrance, so that's where I ended up first. Hello, Instyle magazine! Olivia Palermo on the cover. A pretty thing, but who is she? I've seen her somewhere. One evidently famous celeb I do not know. Ooh! FREE Clinique products!
Price: £3.80 (Rs.330)
It took me a while to notice that they had a different free product on each issue: Repairwear Laser Focus Serum, High Impact Mascara, Long Last Gloss Wear, Turnaround Overnight Radiance Moisturizer. 'Collect All 4 Amazing Products' they say. Yeah, right. The tactics these people! I picked the moisturizer, coz I really needed one =)
If you were intrigued with the newly launched Lakmé Eyeconic products, you are in the right place. This is a review in which photos will speak louder than words, so.....
MAC Viva Glam Nicki Minaj. I finally got my hands on it!
About Viva Glam ~ Every cent of the selling price goes to the MAC Aids Fund. Nicki Minaj teamed up with Ricky Martin to raise HIV/AIDS awareness among young people around the globe.
Finish ~ Satin
Color ~ Bright Yellow Pink. It's very bright with a coral tinge. Compared to MAC Chatterbox, it is lighter and again brighter. Chatterbox's pinkness is deeper.
Price ~ £14.00 = Rs.1210. Yes, MAC lippies cost more here in the UK =\ (India- Rs.990)
Available in India? Last time I checked, not yet.
If you're wondering why this lukewarm one-pic post with only three things turning the temperature up: I don't have broadband yet and my dongle is running out of megabytes, so I can't upload too many pics until Monday. I have not watched a YouTube video in almost 2 whole weeks, and I feel like I'm losing my mind!
Review, swatches & look coming next week. Enjoy your weekend!

Primark is one of UK's most popular shopping destinations, and I went c-r-a-z-y! I found the prices very reasonable, and I think you fellow Indians will do too. The designer(s) & I have at least one thing in common - a love for bows. I went oh-my-bows every few minutes!
Let's start with the twosome that made me squeal, literally:
- Metal Bow Bag & Skinny Belt ~ £8.00 (Rs.695), £2.00 (Rs.174) Because they belong together! [Matching purse & Berry color also available] *Hey, imagine matching shoes ♥_♥
Berry Brilliant. Berry Nice. Berry Autumn.
Another gorgeous shade from Maybelline The Jewels Collection. Since I made it Product of The Week, I'll quickly quickly chat about it today.
