What do you do when in the middle of night you suddenly wake up only to know that you can't put yourself to sleep again? And what do you further do when you go berserk watching videos of your youtuber friends?

I appreciate their work and get jealous of all the stuff they have!!! :P

Remedy????? -----------> HAUL !!!!

These are the few products I bought recently: 

Lakme 9 to 5 Matte Lipsticks (450/-) in Coffee Command, Scarlet Drill, Orange Edge and Brownie Point!!! 

Love them to death!!!

Lakme 9 to 5 Lip Liner (400/-) in Red Alert..there's something amazingly exciting about this lip liner...Needs a whole post!! 

Wait you guys!!!!!

Lakme 9 to 5 Frosties Nail Paint (200/-)  in Purple Frost..I'm a lil' skeptical about this one,yet to try!!

Lakme Absolute Gel Stylist Nail Paint (400/-) in Tomato Tango..purchased for the first time..

You always need that one bright red nail paint in your stash! 

Lakme Jewel Sindoor (140/-) in Maroon..repurchase!

L'oreal Paris Kajal Magique (275/-) ..now this is a repurchase.

 Its a decent one and does a good job!!

Maybelline Matte+Poreless Fit Me Foundation (525/-) in the shade Sun Beige 310..this has been making so much noise,

I had to try. 

Though I'm a little confused whether Sun Beige 310 is good match for my NC35ish skin tone or Natural Buff 230..

Probably a bit of both would work!

Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel eyeliner (499/-) in Black..Where on earth was I hibernating to not give this gem a try yet..

where-oh-where!!

Maybelline 14HR Super stay Lipstick (575/-) in Timeless Crimson..I know its hot and the shade is fall-suited..

BUT I still wanted!

Faces Long Wear Eye Pencils (449/-) in Navy Blue and Forest Green...

Third time repurchase!!! 

THE search for coloured eye pencils ends HERE!!!

Swiss Beauty Dip & Twist Nail Lacquer Remover Sponge (160/-)....phewww!!
They could have surely given it a smaller name!

 Its a dupe of Colorbar Ultimate Nail Enamel Remover at the fraction of a price!

And I FINALLY got Miss Claire Lip Cream and Butter Gloss!!

Miss Claire Lip Cream (200/-) in 17A.. Fingers on my lips...Review would be up soon!!

Miss Claire Butter Gloss (200/-) in BG-06.. Fingers on my Lips again...

Wait for the reviews!!

 That's all folks!!

Have a great weekend!!

Though I can't boast to have tried umpteen colored eye pencils but with whatever little experience I have,I can safely say liquid eyeliners are my pick instead of pencils,felt tips and gel eyeliners. The reason being the amount of control that the brush of liquid eyeliners provide for the that sheer precision. Still..out of all the other brands of eye pencils I have Faces Canada Long Wear Eye Pencils are sure winner!!!
Read on to know why:

Product Claims: 
Soft, creamy eye liner pencil glides on easily over the eye lid to define and highlight your eyes. The long staying formula lasts all day, yet is gentle and safe for people with sensitive eyes.

Price Vs. Quantity: INR 349/ 1.15gm

Packaging:
Faces Long Wear  Eye Pencil comes in regular pencil form that needs sharpening. The pencil has a colour codded cap and end which makes it easier to locate. The best part is that it has its basic info on the pencil itself like the manufacturing and expiry dates,weight,price and shade name.

Shade:
Faces Long Wear Eye Pencil comes in a variety of beautiful pigmented shades:

• Teal
• Forest Green
• Purple
• Solid Black
• Black Sparkle
• Metal Brown
• Navy Blue
• Turquoise Blue
• Gray
• Aqua Blue
• Metallic Plum
• Copper Rose
• Solid Brown

I have Navy Blue,Forest Green and Purple from the lot. Purple is a pure deep deep purple shade. Not plum not lavender...just plain dark purple sans any shimmer. For all those who don't like ultra bright eye looks yet want a pop of colour..this is the one for you and for all those who want to try something other than black yet not eye-turner!!!

Texture:

The texture of Faces Long Wear Eye Pencil is one of the many USPs of this product. It is super-creamy..glides on like a dream...true to the claims!!!

 

Pigmentation:

Super-pigmented...one swipe and you are good to go. I need another swipe only for the proper finish and not for depositing colour.

 

Staying Power:

Its a Hero in this department too. Absolutely smudge-free despite being so creamy to apply is the biggest "Yayyyy" feature of the product. Moreover,it beats the Indian Summer Heat too and that too effectively!

This is how it looks on me in different lightings:

My Likes:

• Smudge-free.
• Creamy to apply.
• Well-pigmented.
• Good for beginners.
• Purple suits Indian skin tones really well.
• Colour coded cap and end.
• Water resistant.
• Amazing staying power.
• Matte finish.
• Water-line safe.

My Dislike:

• The fact that the brand has risen the price from 249/- to 349/-
• Sharpening leads to product wastage.
• It is so creamy that it needs to be refrigerated before sharpening in summers.
• Drawing a thin line isn't easy with this one!

Last Word:

Despite the cons..this is THE BEST eye pencil I have used till date!

Repurchase:

For sure!!! 

Over All Rating: 5/5

Aditi..

Not that I'm new to eye makeup..I've never done a post on it.
And that's pretty much a reason why I posted this pic on Facebook yesterday, because I wanted to know if you guys really like it!!
To all those who follow me on Facebook and those who appreciated the look...Thank You <3
And here's the tute :


Method:

• First of all conceal the under eyes. I have used colorbar concealer stick in Caramel treat.
• Apply Primer. I've used BYS eyeshadow mousse in gold as a primer (don't go by the name its not shimmery)
• Take a bright orange eyeshadow and pack 3/4 of your eyelids with it (pat-pat motion,no sweeping)
• Apply a bright purple eyeshadow on the out corners of your eyes,making a V shape.
• Blend the purple eyeshadow in the crease as well.
• Blend..Blend..Blend for a seamless look.
• Apply a silver/off white eyeshadow on the brow bone. I've used Miss Claire eyeshadow no.0231 for highlighting the brow bone.
• Apply a black eyeliner (liquid/gel) giving it a slight winged shape.
• Apply kohl on your waterline.
• Now apply the same eyeliner below the lashline..corner to corner.
• Curl your lashes.
• Apply 2-3 coats of mascara..better still wear falsies!
• Groom your eyebrows , I've applied the dark brown eyeshadow from the Maybelline chai latte quad using the vega angled brush to fill up the gaps of my eye brows. I applied a bit of Vaseline instead of an eyebrow wax..to keep the hair in place :P
• Ta..daaaa..you're done :)

From the times immemorial *tries to sound literary* all of us are facing bad weather,be it heat,cold or wetty sticky rains..we are in the habit of talking about it as if its happening for the first time to us.No seriously,guests come and I ask them:

           (Something Cold.. would have been easier to answer..but no!)

Travel in a Metro (those in Delhi can get this well enff..) and the baju wali Aunty goes on and on and on about the heat.Oh Boy! So annoyed as if I were to be blamed for it...
I agree its very very HOT..I mean who can pass pleasant smiles in 46 degrees :(

So in this messy hotty sweaty weather,apart from air conditioners,another thing that can make the fairer sex happy is buying some goodies..

So right on to the haul now..and its my first haul post :) 




This includes both online and offline shopping.
Look what I got for myself:

Summer Favourite Nailpaints- I have included some of these in my earlier post on My Summer Loves..


Finally Got hold of the much talked about eyeshadow pallete Maybelline Chai Latte Quad..and let me tell you i'm not much of an eye shadow person..but this one is so subtle..I absolutely love it..looking forward to get another variants of it!


Though I admit I don't use much eyeshadows but I'm head over heels in love with coloured eye pencils/eye liners..So got two recently:
Faces long wear eye pencil in Navy Blue
Colorbar I glide eye pencil in Prunella
And let me take the liberty of saying..Faces one is much much better!



Hobby Body Wash is one product out of all that I did not like much..reason you ask?
The smell..its very very very sweet..too sweet to handle :P
The purple colour of the packaging gave me a Lavender kind of feel and I went ahead and bought it online..but now its making me diabetic ;)

Thats all gals..I'm planning to restart my sketching and painting..Do click on the Random Loves above..It would be a great motivation if you guys like it :)
And do not forget to comment if you've had a rendezvous with any of the mentioned products..

Love:
Aditi..

I am fairly new to the idea of coloured eyeliners. Until six months back,my eye makeup primarily involved black liquid eyeliner but after being introduced to this whole new world of beauty blogging,I thought its never too late to give a new product a try.The obvious choice of colour other than black (no not the blue one) was brown and using that gave me the guts (yup, I always thought eyeliners other than black were majorly OTT) to try my hands on a blue one!
Going through the AVON e-brochure,i came across this Glimmersticks Diamonds Eyeliner which was on a buy one get one offer (yeah baby,thats another big reason for the buy). I wasted no time and ordered two from this range (the other being Emerald Glow)...and thank God I did :)

AVON Glimmersticks Diamonds Eyeliner Twilight Sparkle

 What It Claims:
AVON Glimmersticks Diamonds Eyeliner

• Define eyes with a bold and glamorous look with an unexpected glisten of sparkle.
• Long wearing,smudge proof shades glide on smooth and keep the glimmer going with all-day drama or night-time glamour.

Quantity: 0.28gm/0.01oz

Price: INR 299/- (I got it for 150/-) :) :)

Ingredients: Not mentioned :(

 Packaging: AVON Glimmersticks Diamonds Eyeliner in Twilight Sparkle G42 is a pencil eyeliner and comes in a retractable pencil. The shade name,number and the colour itself is there on the pencil.Being retractable the pencil doesn't need sharpening (this saves a big hassle and quantity too).The pencil has to be twisted in order to get the product out like in all other retractable pencils,so this is no brainer.

Texture: AVON Glimmersticks Diamonds Eyeliner in Twilight Sparkle G42 has a smooth texture. It can be used for tight-lining even without a makeup base,though an eye shadow base or primer definitely makes the application a cake walk.It glides on smoothly and is packed with sparkle which look very beauitiful..aptly named 'Glimmersticks Diamonds'.The sparkles are quite noticeable and make it perfect for occasions and night outs (though I don't hesitate using it during the day as well)

Pigmentation:This shade in particular is quite pigmented. A single swipe of it makes the colour pretty visible.Though the beauty of it comes out in 2-3 swipes!

Staying Power: Now this is the USP of this eyeliner.It stays on and on and on..3swipes of it,you're good to go and it will stay put for atleast 6hours.It is waterproof so won't come off easily.It is smudge proof as well which provides it even more longevity.

Shade: AVON Glimmersticks Diamonds Eyeliner comes in seven shades:

• Smoky Diamond
• Twilight Sparkle
• Emerald Glow
• Black Ice
• Flashy Copper
• Golden Diamond
• Sparkling Silver

1.The shade Twilight Sparkle is beautiful.
2.Retractable thus no sharpening required(so no product wastage).
3.Smooth on application.
4.Pencil eyeliners are good for beginners.
5.Amazing staying power.
6.Colour depicted on the bottom of the pencil.
7.Water proof.
8.Smudge proof.
9.Affordable,specially when on offer!

My Dislikes:
1.Not waterline safe.
2.Needs oil based makeup remover (can't be just washed off).
3.May break if too much is twisted out.
4.Ingredients list not mentioned.
5.Glitter particles are tough to get rid off.

Last Word: Except for the fact that the glitter particles stay back even when the eye liner is removed,I don't see any other major con with this product.I like it and often use it!

Repurchase: Yup!
