MIA Alert!!

Hey..!!!

Hope you all are doing great !!!
Off late things have been a bit topsy turvy on personal front..

Don't worry..we're fine and doing great but there are people around you who matter a lot and they need to be good for your perfect functioning as well. That's precisely where I need to concentrate right at the moment!
Though I can manage to continue blogging but doing something half-heartedly is a mammoth task for me.

So I thought it's best to take a SHORT break and see things getting settled a bit before I bounce back.
Meanwhile, I'll try to keep in touch through social media because all you readers are an extended family and families can't stay apart for long :)
So cya soon.. keep doing good!!

Stay Gorgeous!!

Shubh Navratri feat.a FOTD

Budget Belleza 25.9.14 23 Comments

Shubh Navratri to all you lovelies..
Its again that time of the year which is highly awaited..the time that brings out all our rich tastes regarding clothes,jewelry,accessories and off course makeup. The weather as it is seems to be changing,the mornings and nights are pleasant now. I personally see Navratri/Durga Puja is the harbinger of festivities..one following another,one after the other.
I didn't want to miss this occasion to doll up and look a little bong (yes..I love taant sarees,kohl-rimmed eyes and that red pout so much)
So here's what I attempted for this durga puja :

Leaving you with the pictures,hope you all like them:

The products used to achieve the look are in the pic below:

I had great fun doing the look and I guess this is the only occasion where I can gather the courage to pair heavily done up eyes with bright red lips (I generally prefer going softer on atleast one asset).
Anyways,enjoy the festival..deck up..doll up and make the most of it!
xoxo

I'm Back and some Heart to Heart :)

Hi Lovelies..
It seems like yesterday when I announced about my Pregnancy and now you all must be knowing I had a baby girl on 10th of June,time I tell you has been flying with XXLwings ever since...
Remember this :)

Though I wasn't blogging this while,I was going through all your posts,I commented on some and couldn't on others.Facebook ,Instagram and Watsapp kept me pretty close to you. I received so many mails...tried replying to most of your queries and those left will be taken up now.
I was scared to death by relatives,aunties,neighbors,maids, relatives of maids...passer bys....e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e about how DIFFICULT it is to manage the second baby. Its not like your previous experience when you didn't have much to take care except your brand new bundle of joy. This time it is an added responsibility with the existing ones intact. IT DEFINITELY IS...but more than that its NOT as horrifying as I was told..
Slowly things are falling in their place,the schedules are set just like before...everything is kinda smooth-sailing now. I know once she starts crawling..phewwwww...alright!!
The joy has definitely been doubled. This is what our mornings are like now:

Yes she wakes up with a BIG smile every morning :)

We've given her a love name Maahi,the formal one is still in the pipeline.
Another thought in my mind is that the posts on Budget Belleza would be a bit few and far for some time,since both the babies need my time (the older one even more when he has to be emotionally secure...yes you have to face this too :)
Plus,my reviews won't be as elaborative as they were before..I would basically be stressing more on my findings of the product rather than the nitty-gritty. Blogging is my passion and my favourite activity and more than that it has win me people like YOU...So whatever goes on it keeps coming back......

Much Love
XOXO
Aditi..

How to Create a Lip Pot out of Leftover Lipsticks: DIY,Tute and Swatches

Budget Belleza 26.2.14 19 Comments

Hola Bellezas...
This is for all you beauties who wanted to know through Facebook and emails,how I did a custom-made lip pot out of leftover lippies..
Lets begin with the outcome first :

Makeup can get expensive. And being a BUDGET belleza,I have a hard time trashing anything... specially the lippies that were once my favourite. So,I generally used to fix the broken lippies rather than throwing them out..But this time I went a step further and used even the leftover lipstick in the tube,which had no future otherwise..
I've always known that when you hit the plastic base of the lipstick, there is always some product left over in there. Sometimes, if it was a color I loved, I would take a lip brush and use a little bit more. I was thinking it was just a wee bit that was left in there.But no,last night when I inserted a toothpick inside the tube,it was half way in there. There was so much lipstick in there..!!!!
Here's what I did:
Note: Since it is a requested post,I could not click pics step wise. The pics are combined to make the post comprehensive!

From a Leftover Lipstick to a Moisturizing Lip Pot:Here's How
Things you will need:

Broken or leftover lipsticks (Do check their expiry date before using)
Leftover lip balms/ Vaseline.
Microwave safe container/ Metal plate.
Microwave/ Candle.
Orange stick/ Toothpick.
An empty container with a lid/ Sample jar/ Old lip balm pot.
Tissues.
Rubbing Alcohol.

Instructions:

Take a microwave safe container and clean it using some rubbing alcohol..let it dry.

Scrape out the lipstick from its plastic base using a tooth pick/orange stick and collect in the container. I used my finished Avon Simply Pretty in Mango Mania and Maybelline Moisture Extreme in Pure Plum.

Now scrape out the lipbalms into the same container. Incase you don't have leftover lipbalms,you can use vaseline as well.
Adjust the quantity of lipstick and lip balm according to your needs. I wanted a hydrating lip product thus I added more lipbalm.
Microwave the container for a min. Keep a check on it every 20 seconds. It should only heat up enough to get mixed well and NOT boil.

Now take an empty jar which has a lid. It could be an empty single eye shadow container,a sample jar or an old lip balm pot. I used my empty Lotus lip balm pot. Clean it well using some rubbing alcohol in a tissue. Let it dry completely.
When completely dry transfer the liquid lipstick from the microwave to the Lip pot.
Keep it in deep freeze for 30 minutes.
And you have your very own custom made,super hydrating lip pot :)

The lip swatch is more true to colour than hand swatch!

The lasting power is around 2-3hrs. If you want more staying power,add less lip balm. Moisturization and longevity are inversely proportional in Lipstick Chemistry :P
Hope you liked it as much as I'm lovin' it :)
P.S. If you don't want to microwave,you can collect the scarped out material in a metal plate and melt it over a candle..Simple!!!
