Victoria's secret eyeshadow swatches and review.

So this was my first purchase of victoria's secret makeup. After dropping my daughter at her school I went to the mall to spend my free time shopping around, and thats when I came across these eyeshadows at the Victoria's Secret store. I was instantly attracted towards them and specially because of their packaging. I am a sucker for single eyeshadows, I wear it or not I keep hoarding them.
 And when I saw these cute eyeshadows I could not resist but bought them, as this was my first purchase
 and I was not sure of its pigmentation and color payoff I bought only two of them.                                                


 Ok so for the review part now, lets start with the pros, firstly its highly pigmented. The color pay off is great too. Now lets talk about the cons , yes its a bit chalky specially the wet dry shadow, but using it with a good primer you can easily avoid fall outs. Overall they are really good and I am happy with the purchase and hopefully will buy more of them soon.

How to make your thin lips look pouty naturally(Requested)


    
Ok so every girl wants that pouty, full and attractive lips. Its a blessing for those who have it naturally but for those who don't , you can have it in few quick and easy steps. Before demonstrating the steps below, I would like to share something. Before I  used to think I have really full, pouty and plum lips but then, if my friend Disha never requested me to help her get pouty & full lips, I would have never tried it and would never know the difference and am really loving it. You can see the instant change.
So all u need are:
these are the products that i used

a concealer
a lip liner
a mate lipstick(color of your choice)
a moisturizing lipstick(same color as the mate)
a lip gloss matching ur lipstick color
a neutral color lip gloss
and a brush/ lip gloss aplicator




















First take your concealer and apply it and conceal your lips and blend in your concealer well using a brush.






Next take your lip liner and start out lining your lips. Make sure you go beyond your actual lip line to give the illusion of fuller and plum lips. Be careful  you do not want to over do it. 




Now take your mate lipstick
 and apply it on your lips. 









Next take your moisturizing lipstick and 
apply on top of the mate lipstick.






            Now take your lip gloss
            and apply on your lips 
            over the lipstick














Now take the neutral color lip gloss
 and apply it onto the cupid's bow  
and center of bottom lips.


















                                                                               
                                                                               Lastly take your brush 
and blend in the lip gloss

lightly and u get plum, pouty,
 full and attractive lips instantly

Hair routine, how to get long beautiful hair.

From a very small age I have very long hair, but then my mom was always there to take care of it, but now me being a mom myself and being busy and out the entire day its tough to maintain my long hair. But still I always prefer long hair as it suits me a lot ,so how do I take care of it? Basically, I do nothing out of the ordinary. First of all I should be thankful that I have such lovely hair (no self praising or braging just the truth) I think genetically I am blesses with great hair so I generally do not have to do a lot to maintain them , all I do is shampoo and condition my hair. 
Yes I have a few problem firstly dandruff and secondly split ends. So for the first problem I try to keep my scalp clean by shampooing my hair every other day and also I am very particular about what shampoo I use.(I am going to list all the product at the end). For split ends I avoid teasing my hair by using less heat and chemicals on my hair and also trim my hair timely. I have oily dandruff so my hair becomes very oily so I shampoo every other day and try and keep my scalp clean. I make sure I use minimal amount of chemicals on my hair. I also do not expose my hair to to much heat and dirt. I try to use my straightner and blow dryer as less as I can. And I drink plenty of water which helps maintain the shine of my hair. This is my simple and easy hair care routine. And I like it this way, I guess overdoing with hair by using every other product in the market does not help, at least not in my case.

Selsun blue
Shampoo used by me , and I think is the best 
if u have dandruff.

 Pantene flat to volume conditioner
    Condtioner used by me.










 Nexus maximum Hair spray
 Only spray used by me only
 when I curl my hair
 to hold the curls longer.

All about my Nail polish obsession..

That is my nail polish display rack.
Yes nail polish was the first cosmetics that I ever used or owned. As every other kid I did paint my nails when I was really very small for a school performance or something but that's it, my mom never allowed to paint my nails until the age of 13. At an early age of 12 when my interest for cosmetics , jewelry, fashion, bling blah blah blah started growing, I wanted to try out every single items of my mom's vanity. But when it came to cosmetics and stuff mom was too strict to convince but finally she bought me a nail polish and was allowed to paint my nails during the weekends(because of school). And I still remember the joy of owning my first ever nail polish. I guess I even did brag about it to my friends.From then till today I am really addicted to nail polish. Everyone loves nicely painted nails and so do I . And I make sure my nails are always done but with a kid it becomes difficult sometimes, but yes I always make sure I have more than enough colors to choose from and match outfit. Starting from common colors like red, pink, fuchsia to vibrant fun colors like yellow , blue , green or goth colors like black my collection have got everything.


These nail polishes are my latest purchases this week.

My 1st MAC experience and Sunset on my eyes look created with MAC....

So just when I was totally obsessed with my coastal scent pallet guess what MAC stepped into my life.Yes while shopping in Forum shops mall in Vegas I stumbled upon the MAC store and got totally excited but at the same time confused about what to buy. So finally I decided to buy some face products and brushes and as I was happy with my coastal scent pallet I just ignored the eye-shadows. But then just looking around and swatching and trying out few of the eye-shadows I could not resist myself from buying, they were so highly pigmented and such lovely colors and the colors poped out so well. So I dropped the Idea of buying brushes and grabbed bunch of eye shadows and the pro pallet(15). I got six colors from Vegas. You can see all the colors and other MAC items that I purchased from Vegas in the video below.                                                        


Sunset on my eyes, look created 
using  Mac eye shadows...

Colors used to create this look are golden rod, red brick , phloof and moon's reflection from my MAC pallet. (Let me know if you want me to do a tutorial of this look)
