Budget Belleza

Beauty trends are blinding...and more so, post the Instagram era!!  One thing that saddens me is that too much of information laid on our platter is actually killing our power to innovate and create our own little DIY ways of following the trends with a happy pocket! I mean why on earth do you want someone else to match a liquid lipstick and a lip liner for you? Isn't that what we all have been doing to keep our creamy/bleeding lipsticks in their place all this while? I wouldn't call this a cheaper version of Kylie Lip Kit or the Huda ones because you do get good quality when you spend on the bigger brands but this is functional and definitely  as-cheap-as-it-gets!! Things You'll Need!! Liquid Lipstick Matching Lip Liner AND THEY NEED NOT BE OF THE SAME BRAND..just MATCHING! Liquid Lipstick: Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Creams Price: INR 165/-   I went for the Miss Claire Lip Creams in place of the liquid lipsticks. These are clear dupes of t...

Inspired Looks are fun...be it watching or recreating myself. I would still maintain what I said in my Priyanka Chopra Inspired Look that watching transformation videos is probably my favourite leisure activity. I don't really know how far I do justice with the looks but the amount of love I received from you all for my Devasena Inspired Look of Bahubali and others keeps me going. Deepika's Look Coming to this picture of Deepika, ever since I came across it in Piku days I wanted to give it a try but something or the other kept emerging and the much wanted got delayed. What I particularly liked about this look is that it is pretty much non-fussy..less-drama..true-to-me sort of a look. I love the sheer coverage of her foundation and the little imperfections of the skin showing through...gets real!! Her makeup artist has majorly played with her eyebrows and eyes only while keeping the rest muted. I also don't see much contour/highlight going on,though ...

Holaaa!! They say too much of anything is bad..for me too much of anything gets boring!! To kill the matte lips boredom,I got myself Miss Claire Intense Butter Gloss in my recent haul ..check out the pics before I tell you more!! Price: INR 200/-  Just like the Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Creams are said to be dupes of Nyx Soft Matte Lip Creams, these butter glosses are known to be dupes of Nyx Butter Gloss! This is the most pigmented and the best smelling lip gloss I have ever used. It smells like you have a scoop of both vanilla and butterscotch in your cone...too edible!! The applicator,surprisingly,is very flexible unlike their matte lip cream ones and application is a cake walk! These unlike those have NAMES...a BIG yayyy for that. The shade Chocolate Crepe BG-06 (BG is for Butter Gloss obviously) is somewhat a dupe of Nyx Praline. Its a perfect nude lip gloss for us Indians,brown with pink undertones. The shade below i...

The world is going crazy for matte liquid lip colours and I like to join the madness when things interest me..  The brand Miss Claire has been in the market for quite sometime now but due to its availability issues and the variation in prices,not everybody has had a chance to grab it! I recently spotted it at a store in the vicinity..and the rest like they say....is history!!! Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Creams are said to be exact dupe of Nyx Lip Creams in terms of packaging and formula! The brand claims that its neither lipstick nor gloss,its lipstick cream that settles to a soft matte finish! Price: INR 150 - 250/-   Miss Claire Lip Creams like I say are dupes of Nyx Soft Matte Lip Cream and this particular shade is pretty close to Nyx London! It applies like a dream and even after having it on for some time,it doesn't get dry and patchy like Incolor Matte Me lip cream .  It stays creamy ,infact you dont even...

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!!
