Budget Belleza

Hallllooo Bellezas..!!!  Its been some time that I posted..writer's block..artist's block..blogger's block..or probably looking for something exciting other than the mundane review posting. Having said that,it's not like I don't like writing reviews but I go through passion-shifting phases in life ;) :P Anyway, while the world is going gaga over Bahubali-2, I couldn't be left behind. It has been on a smashing ride on the box office ever since its release and this brought me to the idea of recreating the look of the female protagonist Devasena (played by Anushka Shetty) A little about the character: Devasena (Anushka Shetty) is a princess from Kunthala region, a small but prosperous region in the fictional universe of Mahishmati. She is accomplished, a great warrior and archer who is constantly trying to better her art through diligent practice. Bahubali seems to be impressed more by her technique of martial arts than her beauty — he doesn’t just ...

 As a makeup enthusiast and a YouTube addict, my favourite category is either swatch videos or recreating celebrity makeup looks. Oh! hoe I love seeing the transformation of one person into another just by the power of makeup. I really find them highly creative rather than the random haul videos. If I am to name a few of my favourite inspired look videos (which are tons off course) I would pick JLo's inpired makeup tutorial by Huda , Kylie Jenner inspired makeup by Roxette Arisa , Penelope Cruz inspired makeup by Makeup By Ani among the the huge talented lots.  Now that we are desi , we wouldn't be able to do justice with an international look given our skin tone, eye colour and hair colour. The reason being just mentioned I earlier decided to do an Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's Cannes inspired makeup look earlier which received so much love from you guys and now I came across this image of our very own Priyanka Chopra when she attended the Marrakech International Film ...

With fall knocking doors, I'm digging into bold and bright lips all the more...and if you ask me what is THE one most used lipstick of mine is these days..YESSS..it's the Lakme Absolute Lip Pout Matte in Magenta Magic . Well, honestly speaking I was never into fuschias and magentas until the recent past and for this I would give credit to the Incolor Matte Me Liquid Lipstick which actually introduced me to the whole new world of Radiant Orchid. Coming back to today's product...I'm in awe of it..SERIOUSLY!! I can actually write a 350 page book on this Chubby stick but I'm definitely gonna curb my desire to do so and give you reader JUST what you need :D Heading On.......!! Price vs Quantity: INR 650 / 3.7gm Packaging: Lakme Absolute Lip Pout Matte in Magenta Magic comes in a chubby stick like packaging. The outer body is colour coded with the shades which I really appreciate..makes life a bit easier!! The chubby stick is in retractable...

It's finally achche din for us Indians with festivities beginning. The whole aura is such colour, aroma, flavor, laughter and happiness filled. In any case festivities are all the more harbinger of happiness to a makeup enthusiast when you can finally go all bold-gold without fearing being a disco ball.. Oh Yeah...you CAN be a disco ball with a panache!! I wanted to leave no opportunity to doll-up since I almost never dare to go with both lips and eyes...yesss!! It either has to be a social gathering or a festival for me to have sparkly dark eyes and a red lip.. I've seen as much as I love makeup, I love underplaying too :) But this time like you see, I enjoyed playing with colours and I'm pretty happy with the outcome specially when compared to my previous Navratri Look.  The product used for the look are as follows: Face - Maybelline Fit Me Foundation (Sun Beige 310) Kryolan Dermacolor Camouflage Cream (D30) Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Concealer (Hon...

Hallo Lovelies.... Now that the fashion world is going gaga over the Cannes Red Carpet looks ans Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is receiving compliments (less) and criticism (more).. I couldn't stay untouched and unaffected!! This you guys is my first ever attempt at recreating a look so pardon me if you find things a lil' off :P ;) I found her second day look as the best out of all and thus thought to give it a try!! For putting up the look together, I hunted my stash high and low. Few lip colours had a similar shade but the matte texture was lacking.. And finally this Lime Crime Dupe in Wicked came to the rescue!! I don't have an original Lime Crime so I cannot compare it with the real one. BUT guys...this is aaahhhhmmmaaaazing!! It glides on smoothly, applies super creamy and dries to a matte fininsh . Its pretty similar in texture and pigmentation to the Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams or the Miss Claire Matte Lip Creams.  These are highly pigmente...
