Lingerie Model Inspired Makeup

The look I did for the Make Up for Ever Contest was actually a Lingerie Model inspired makeup I did to post here, but then I saw the MUFE contest and decided to put up the look there instead =D 

Life is unpredictable!

La Senza models wear bows on their heads, I wore the bow on my finger lol

I almost submitted the photo up there (in black & white of course) for the MUFE contest, but then decided to go with this one, which I'm sure most of you have seen.........

How Much Makeup For the Doctor/Hospital?

I've been visiting my ENT doctor (at a hospital) every week lately, and it got me thinking, how much makeup is "appropriate" when going to a hospital?

I had been wearing the same amount/style of make-up which I would wear when I'm going shopping - Not too loud (says me), not too boring either. By boring, I mean not even a smidgen of eyeshadow =[

Okay, for the record, this look was meant to be a FOTD for Friday, but I had to visit the doc too that evening, so I just blotted my lipgloss and applied a matte lippie instead, coz, you know, I'd be opening my mouth and all. And yes, I would've gone sans the gold glitter too but it's not easy to remove in a jiffy without ruining the whole thing, so I had to leave it the way it was. But it was subtle, so the glitter wasn't that obvious.

Nyx Haul ~ Cup Cake Gloss, Blushes,10 Color Eyeshadow Palette

Cup Cake Gloss

In 4 delicious flavors ~ Cherry, Syrawberry, Orange & Chocolate

These are tiny! I thought they would be a tad bigger :)

New! Revlon & Maybelline Lipstains

Another reason not to get the MAC Art Supplies Lipstain Marker!

Our favorite drugstore brands are catching up by coming up with their very own versions of Lipstains. 

Yay!

Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain + Balm by Colorstay

Lipstain and balm in one convenient dual-ended package, Kiss-proof,  contains Vitamin C for anti-oxidant protection, Color does not smudge or streak Creamy, lightweight balm perfectly melts on lips for smooth, glide-on application

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstain

These contains water with berry nectar to provide a weightless wash of color for a healthy flush. Available in 10 shades

The Revlon ones sound like my kind of lipstains! And unlike Maybelline (even the Color Sensational Lipsticks aren't here yet!), Revlon does launch new products in India pretty soon, and I'm guessing in 2-3 months we'll see the Lipstain + Balm in India 


 What about you? Liking these?

Micromax Q55 Bling ~ The Girly Girl's Phone

What is the sweetest thing a husband could do to make his wife feel better (and happy, and stop nagging)?

Simply surprise her with what she desperately wants, that's what! =)

In my case, it's the Micromax Q55 Bling Mobile Phone. 

It was love at first sight when I first saw this phone in an ad during the Fifa. 

The box is like a jewelry box. Has a cute tiara on the cover

Micromax Q55 Bling is a Dual Sim mobile phone with Swarovski studded keys

Summer Must-Have ~ Sure Dry Shield Anti-Perspirant Roll-on

I was sent some information about the launch of Sure Anti-Perspirants in India a couple of weeks back, but I had never heard about Sure before, so I didn't think much about the brand.

I bought one recently, and OMG my underarms are always dry now! Before I would powder myself  constantly every few hours coz it's so so so HOT in Delhi, but it never helps. Even raising my arms up in the air (♪ ♫ and wave them like I just don't care ♪ ♫ ) gets tiring.

Just last night, the light went off about 10 times in a few hours. I was sweating everywhere, but my underarms were completely dry! I was amazed.

Reader's Request ~ Skincare Kit For Oily/Combination & Acne Prone Skin

This was requested by a very sweet reader Priyanka J, who has Oily/Combination & Acne-prone skin.

I believe a skincare routine should be simple, when it comes to problem skin. If you have acne, it's better not to confuse your skin more by switching from product to product and "irritate" it
When I get a big pimple sometimes, I feel it has a mind of its own. Like it's saying to me "Don't you let those things gang bang me, or else....=[" =D


Here are the products I'd pick (and I do use most myself) for Oily/combination & Acne Prone skin.

~ Cleansers ~

First and foremost, you have to get a cleanser that is very well suited for your skin type. A childhood friend of mine have been suffering from acne for most of her life - face and body! And the last time I saw her, there wasn't a pimple on her face and she was glowing! So, I asked her what she used. She told me that she read in a magazine that "when you have acne, it's better to use a Foam Cleanser rather than a gel-based one" (hehe...I hope she read this =D)
She then started using Pond's Flawless White Facial Foam, and it made all the difference.
Other cleansers you can use......

Cetaphil when pimples are at their peak and hurt. You gotta have one with salicylic acid like Clean & Clear cleansers for acne.

So, without further ado....

Eyeshadow Blending & Coloring Pencils

Image Source

The only thing that can make your eyeshadow look off is if you don't blend it the right way or don't blend at all! I still see a lot of people use the sponge tip applicator that comes with their eyeshadow palettes and instead of "applying" with a light hand, they "draw" the colors on their lids.

The school tools you need to keep in mind when doing your eye makeup are:

Recent Small Haul

Hey guys, I will not be updating regularly for the next 2 weeks, as I'm not keeping well and I'm gonna have a tonsils operation one of these days. 

I went to watch SATC Movie 2 and had a few minutes to kill before the movie started, so I did some shopping at Shopper's Stop, which, I must say, SUCKS! 

Lifestyle is BETTER. Because It has more cosmetics brands, and it's a more lively store, imo.
