Stiletto Hardware For Comfy Shoes!

Some stuff their bras, some stuff their pants, I stuff my shoes. Most of you know I have tiny & slender feet and I don't find grown-up shoes that fit properly. I have bought all types of padding from Scholl- some good, some useless. So, to sum it all up, my feet suffer terribly after a day in high heels. That's why I was more than happy to try out Stiletto Hardware insoles.

About Stiletto Hardware:

"No more walking home barefoot" is the tagline. These insoles were created by Kelly Chung, after she had bunion surgery in 2008. Stiletto Hardware insoles absorb shock and mold to your feet, thanks to a top layer of memory foam, yet are virtually invisible in your shoes. Other features:

• Sophisticated and thin design
• Antifungal and anti-microbial
• Made with Poron
• Strong adhesive backing but also easy to remove without ruining your expensive shoes
• Made in USA

The Orgasm & Coralista Look-Alikes (Blushers)

I was organizing my blushes, and thought it'd be fun to compile my shimmery peachy-coral blushers. I hope the photos & swatches will be helpful. Enjoy!

Bows Bows Everywhere....

....Happy Happy me! :)

Bows are so IN these days. They are everywhere! In all shapes & sizes. I get an adrenaline rush every time I see so much bows. Ya, I might actually do my piling laundry later today.

• Gloves ~ With the winter approaching, I can't help but want some (read: all) of these cute gloves. In the pic, Blugirl (saw these in Grazia Magazine and I fell in lurrrve instantly), other 3 are Accessorize.

He Fancies The Samsung Galaxy TAB 750

This is my entry for Samsung's "It's Time To TAB" Contest hosted by IndiBlogger . Samsung is generously giving away 20 Tablets to 20 winners of this contest.

I have no idea how I'm going to do this! I mean, I have never entered a contest like this before, but I have to do it- one way or another. Why? This is definitely going to sound  cheesy, but I'm doing it for love. ["Ah, love." ~ Ross Gellar.] I want to win it for my hubby, because his birthday is coming up. The man is a gadget freak, so I can think of no better gift than this newly launched Samsung Galaxy TAB 750. 

Arabic Look

I had a tough time picking a title for this! (Changed it from Indian to Arabic after reading the comments :))
This is a look I created for my 1 month LOTD Challenge (3 looks per week). It would look fabulous on a night out. Shimmer all the way to the brow bone. It looks so gorgeous & glam under yellow light. I'd do this makeup if I were wearing a black & silver Indian saree.

Urban Decay Naked Palette Review, Swatches & EOTDs

I can't believe it took me so long to post this! It's been more than a month since I got this palette (previous post here). I just realized it now! Gosh, how fast does time fly these days??!! I apologize for the delay- to those of you who were waiting for this post.

August Favorites ~ Makeup, Skincare, Haircare Etc

The votes were in, and most of you like Monthly Favorites blog posts. High Five! I like them too! :)

I just wrote August in the title, when in fact I've been using some of these products long before August.

1. Spring It! Hair Removing Spring Thing ~ I can't live without this anymore! I use it mainly to remove hair from my upper lip, which I have to do often coz I click a lot of lip photos over here. On camera, even a leetle bit of hair look offensive (shown here). Basically, you hold both ends down into a U-shape, roll the spring on your skin, and straighten it to pull out the hair. Quick & painless- once you get used to it :))
2. Clearasil Acne Clearing Scrub ~ This makes my face feel really smooth. The scrub isn't so big and abrasive, so it wouldn't hurt a ripe pimple. I leave it on as a mask too sometimes. However, it doesn't prevent pimples, coz I have a pimple right now when I'd just used it 2-3 days ago. But in it's defense, I'm getting pimples on and off lately. 
3. Herbal essences None Of Your Frizziness Serum ~ With anti-humidity technology, it says. I love that it smells like mangoes. Slice, to be precise. It does help tame the frizziness I get right after washing.
4. Etude House Missing U Hand Cream 'Panda Story'~ I LOVE this panda so much! I should have bought all of them! This one smells peachy and it does not make my hand feel slippery. I'm so afraid to use it coz I don't want it to be finished! (also shown here). Must collect more next time!
5. Olay 7-in-1 Total Effects Anti-Ageing Eye Cream ~ I'm liking this a lot. It has tiny gold flecks in it, which are unnoticeable when applied. It's not very greasy/oily. The outer corners of my eyes used to be dry-ish and this has moisturized them to normalcy. Fine lines have also noticeably reduced. You can mix this with your concealer, and you've got yourself a YSL Touche Eclat dupe...ish, I think =D
6. MAC Quite Cute Mineralize Blush Giggly ~ Favorite pink blush of the moment (swatches here). It looks so good especially at night under yellow light. I think it could be my favorite pink blush of all time.
7. Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation #53 ~ This is almost exactly like the original Healthy Mix Foundation, except it is thinner (more liquid-ey) and less oily. It is easier to blend than the original too. Yes, I do like it better than the original. It smells so fruity & fresh, I could eat it. Coverage- Light to Medium. 

Depotting Colorbar Single Eyeshadow

Many months ago, I was depotting my MAC eyeshadows, and didn't stop there. I picked up the only Colorbar eyeshadow I have, and decided to evict it as well. Single eyeshadows disturb me- mentally. 

It had a mirror attached to it, which made the process seem next to impossible, but I was to curious to find out the outcome.

Eyeshadow shade ~ Proudly Purple (swatch & review here)

This is what it looked like before. The mirror is attached to the bottom of the eyeshadow

Sleek Saturday LOTD

I know Saturday is gone here, but I'm on UK time specially for this post. I was invited by the lovely Liloo to join her in her Sleek Saturday Series. The main purpose of the series is to encourage the use of Sleek i-divine palettes- mainly the colors you don't use enough. I thought it's a fantastic idea! I hardly use the only Sleek palette I have- Paraguaya Palette, so I was more than happy to participate.

I created a very simple look....

Anniversary, Forever New Dress & Bow Shoes

Do you have a really nice girlie dress or top you cannot wear because it's too revealing? For me, it's this dress. It's the most feminine dress I have & I'm in love with the creme de menthe color, but it is very low in the front + it's made like a corset, so it pushes up the twins up too much, like 'Woah!' If you want to go from A to C, this is the type of neckline you should look for.

I wore it on our 4th wedding anniversary, 2 days back. We were staying in, so I wore it for the first time since I bought it- maybe 2 years ago! =\

I don't want the moral police to come get me, so I thought of clever ways to cover what's inappropriate ;)
