Fashion Friday : Night Out Look


Hi all, I did a make-up video on this look, but I haven't finished editing it yet :S . 
I guess it'll be up by next week...no guess...for sure it will be up next week :)
Oh my gosh! Editing is a real pain!!! And I mean that literally. My lower back is hurting because of it.

Mac India ~ Viva Glam Lady Gaga & Cyndi Lauper Lipsticks Launch Date



Three months I waited for these. 3 frickin' months! Calling the Mac stores every week since the lippies launched everywhere else =D. I called....and I called....and I called.....Then I got a definite (I hope that it's 100% though) answer.

Mac India will be launching the lipsticks on the 11th of June people. I hope at this time next Friday, I will have be clicking pictures of them. Yes, I'm getting both. Maybe two of each if nobody stops me ;p

Oh, 11th June come sooner!

Bourjois Delice De Poudre Bronzing & Highlighting Powders Swatch & Review


The Bourjois Delice De Poudre Bronzing & Highlighting Powders come packed in a very cute magnetic notebook-like packaging. Look like chocolates, which makes them simply irresistible!



Bronzing Powder ~ Filled with glints of sunshine. The shade #51 (Peaux claires/medianes) is a medium shade suitable for light to medium skin tones. It looks quite similar to Benefit Hoola in my opinion.

Highlighting Powder ~ Coated with a soft pearly layer for an instant burst of radiance. This is shade #53 which is a mixture of vanilla, pink, purple and gold in it. Can be used on the face and decolletage.

Buy A Satin Pillowcase Before Anti-aging Creams & Hair Treatments



For the last 1 year or so, I always make sure that I sleep on a satin pillowcase every night when I'm home. I don't care if the rest of the bed materials are of a different design and color, because the benefits are worth the daily mismatch.

I am telling you, it does wonders! My hair looks healthier and shinier than ever! And I really do mean 'ever' (say, 5-6 years ever.) And I don't see loose hair stuck on my pillowcase when I wake up anymore! If you have very frizzy, unruly hair, a satin pillowcase will calm it down.
