I know, you all must be thinking wth, but I've been quite active on Instagram & Facebook. However, I am working on being more active here as well, because I do miss talking to you guys, and there are stuff I wanna talk about. You know, like what I really want for my birthday and stuff like that ;)
So, let's kick off my birthday month with a haul *claps*
Honestly, I haven't been buying much beauty products for months, so this collective haul was like a treat, especially when an Emoji is involved :)
Innisfree:
No Sebum Mineral Powder (Rs.570): Innisfree x Emoji Collection. A transparent powder oil control powder, which you can use on your oily scalp as well I was told.
Remember in How I Met Your Mother when Robin was on a date that's going well & she desperately needed to shave her legs in the restaurant restroom, and she applied butter all over her legs? (Yes, that made me cringe!) Well, she wouldn't have had to go to such lengths if she had this new razor in town - Gillette Venus Breeze!
Below is a video of me unboxing the pretty box and showing everything that came in it....
~ Moisture Gel Bars: Formulated with body butters (Olive, Avocado, Kokum) and glycerine to help retain skin moisture.
~ Sensorial Experience: Scented with Freesia, a tropical fragrance to give you an enhanced experience.
~ Three Blades: Designed with 3 blades to give you an ultra-close and revealing smooth shave
How To Use:
Simply wet the razor and your skin for a light lather, and start shaving.
What I Think:
~ First things first, the gel bars smell amazing! They're actually more slimy than lathery, which makes the skin more slippery, so the razor glides on smoothly and effortlessly even on tricky areas.
~ I don't use any body lotion right after shaving, and that usually makes my skin feel dry afterwards, but with this, my skin feels normal and smooth the whole day.
~ It's travel-friendly. Yes, you can carry it in your handbag - just in case!
~ The razor itself is very well-designed and sturdy....and pretty.
~ I love it! If I have to have a holy grail razor, or if I have to recommend one razor to anyone, this would be it!
Price:
Razor - Rs.299
Extra Cartridges (pack of 2 razor blades) - Rs.350

Have a great weekend......
Thanks for reading & speak again soon!

He looked down, and kicked an imaginary pebble on the ground.
"Never mind. I shouldn't be asking.", she said with a smile. He wasn't looking at her.
Still not looking at her, he answered, "It used to be something unattainable. Like a private jet, a lifetime supply of everything Nintendo, waking up next to Sunny Leone, to be Batman once a month ..... but now.... it's something right in front of me, yet just as unattainable, and probably something I kinda already know I'll never have.....", then his eyes met hers before she could look away".....that heart of yours."
Like a punctuation to his words, a single tear rolled down her left eye. Like it's the only rational thing to do, she hugged him. As she listened to his heart beat faster, and felt his hand in her hair, she shut her eyes as tightly as she possibly could, in an attempt to shoo a single thought she wished she could forget forever. No, please, go awa..... *I wished it was him instead of you.*
Shooting stars didn't grant wishes after all.

You know when you thoughtlessly do/say stupid/nonsense things in (real) life that might upset or puzzle other people, and you bury your face in a pillow & utter: 'Why? When did you become like this?!!' ? Then your mind rewinds and plays several scenes.... in sepia tone..... and since today's is a Teddy kind of topic....
When you were a little girl, between 7-10 years old, you impulsively decided to host a birthday party for your big red Teddy Bear, one that's quite new. Just because! You told your father you needed a cake, and followed him to the taxi stand when he was going to work, and you started crying when he said 'NO!', and almost got into a taxi.
"But it's Teddy Bear's birthday! I'd already invited all my friends, and their dolls & teddy bears!", you wailed.... like a proper brat.
(Tbh, even as a full-grown adult you could wail like this at a MAC store: "But the collection just arrived! Today! How can it be sold out?! I'd drafted a haul post already! Just....don't.... bye, male SA with kohled eyes & lashes better than mine!")
In the end, he had to buy you the darn cake! It was sometime in January, probably a few days after the 1st, because it was an old 'Happy New Year' cake, the only one left in the small shop next to the taxi stand - no doubt questionable, but you're too busy walking hopping home like a successful party planner to care.And yes, you are gonna make all your friends sing: '....Happy Birthday Dear Teddy Bear....May God Bless You....' and you're gonna stand behind him and help him cut his 'Happy New Year' Birthday Cake!
MAC Velvet Teddy Lipstick (Matte)
Described as a Deep-tone Beige, Velvet Teddy is more brown on me, even though it came out looking a lot more peachy in pictures. Most times I like to pink it up a little bit dabbing a pink lipstick, like MAC Please Me, or simply going over it with a lip liner, like the Colorbar Splendid Pink, on top. In a way, I've been somewhat wearing it as a base color a lot.
I can safely say that this has been my most used lipstick since I got it some time last year. You will see below how much I've used it.
I feel I have to go to this one...I don't know why, but I have to make it to this one! Yes, why you never go to these events and such? You're not gonna fall down or embarrass yourself all.the.time.! Plus, this one doesn't sound pretentious & boring - they didn't use words like "French-something....and one-on-one interview with.....". They said: 1)Wine & 2)Mannequin Challenge, okay? Oh God, what should I wear?! I have nothing to wear! My closet is a mess, I can't find anything! I don't even remember what clothes I have anymore! Btw, where are those black suspender tights??? See, I told you weeks ago to put away the summer clothes in the corner junk cupboard, I (told) telled you! Oh no, what if it's a formal dress code... like gown and head gear and all.... like "Madame" type? Okay, please calm down! That new black ruffle bodysuit.... That. Make it work.... and just GO! Eeee.... who's this Bollywood's biggest superstar they speak of? Umm... Shah Rukh? Ranbir? Ranveer? Aditya Ro...nah, he's not that big (Yet. But you will be.... Jaanu.)....How I wish The Weeknd was a Bollywood superstar too right now *sigh*! Ohh...I know, I know! Amitabh Bachchan! Yeah, definitely him.

What are the Chances that you catch a flu the day after someone you care about told you they're suffering from it?
What are the Chances that your child might be OCD?
What are the Chances that you end up liking someone you found absolutely obnoxious at first?
What are the Chances that you love fancy underwear a bit too much....more than clothes even?
What are the Chances that the passengers of MH370 are still alive....somewhere?
What are the Chances that the stranger standing behind you at a food counter might just be someone you're gonna say 'I miss you' to months later?
What are the Chances that I transform into Mr.Narendra Modi someday?
What are the Chances that the person writing all this thought-provoking shtuff is possibly a bit tipsy right now?
Blush Pink Suede Choker ~ Forever New, Rs.1000
Black Velvet Choker ~ H&M, Rs.699
Wire Choker ~ Claire's, Rs.1070 (came in a set of 3)
Studded Velvet Choker ~ Claire's, " (came in a set of 3)
I'd say my most favorite kind is the Forever New Blush Choker, and least favorite is the wire style, which I wouldn't have even bought had it not been part of a set.
"Girls be using anything as chokers nowadays. B**ch, where's my charger?!"
That's from a meme I saw somewhere on Instagram...haha!
Seriously though, some "chokers" look absolutely ridiculous! I mean, if it looks like a neck brace, or a noose, or some vague metal monstrosity ...nah-uh!

Happy Friday, everyone! =)
Stay tuned for more posts that I'm very excited about - coming shortly.

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone! Hope you're having a day filled with love & happiness.
Well, I didn't really have a Christmas post lined up, coz it's been hectic lately. So I decided to use these pics (where my hair is a mess, btw)
Let's talk about deep, meaningful things in between.
What's your Christmas like?
Mine:
~ Discovering too late that the tree lights are all spoiled. It's okay, I'll get new ones after Christmas, before New Year's Eve.
~There's a Santa soft toy from Hamley's, that I don't mind my son doesn't appreciate, because I secretly got him for myself. I whisper "Dear Santa, please........" in his ears, which he doesn't really have.
~ Watching Ziizayne mimic the facial expressions & dance moves in Sia's The Greatest. When I was pregnant with him, I used to blast Chandelier in my ears, btw.
~ Making plans to go out, and then decide it's too cold.
~ Finding out that the geyser is broken while already under the shower.
~ Watching Ziizayne play with his main Christmas present - a car track thing, and being enthu with one battery-operated car that comes with it more than he is.
~ Christening my new The Body Shop Body Butters that I was gifted- Vanilla Chai & Frosted Berries. Both yum!
~ Not wanting to eat anything sweet & Christmassy. Ordered spicy Indian food instead - Laal Maas from Coriander Leaf Restaurant. It's the best mutton curry ever!
~ Wanting to listen to long-time favorite Christmas songs - Last Christmas, All I Want For Christmas.... but finding them too peppy.
~ Blasting R&B/Rap instead. A new artist I just discovered - NF. Listen to All I Have & Wait if you want to know what lyrics are filling my head.
~ Feeling gangsta - in pyjamas - trying to ignore the pain from one remaining wisdom tooth.
~ Waiting for 9 pm 8:30 pm11 pm, so I can open the new wine - White.
