Colours of Nature

This post is not makeup related
If you follow me on Twitter (http://twitter.com/indianngrl) you would be knowing that I was tossing up between going to Chaddy or to Bunnings. Finally we decided to go to Bunnings as we had to get some pots for the sunflower seedlings.

And the result of all our efforts( Me & Mr. M)



Only 2 plants are new addition , most of them have been re potted

Quick Update

Just back from Myer Bourke Street opening...It was an amazing experience..ohh so good...just loved it...got some pretty goodies
And also got to see Jeniifer Hawkins up & close....

More updates later...too tired..need to sleep

I am so excited.....

I feel like a Super Hero

Okay Okay..before you get any idea..no I haven't been bestowed with any super power.But then you ask why I feel like super hero ??

Cause, just like all superhero I have a mundane(okay not so mundane),regular job.But come evening, when I am checking all my beauty blogs,I am a totally different person. There is different world where like minded people get together and talk about stuff they like.You get excited reading about some new product, you like some look and want to try it out or simply enjoy the little tales told by fellow bloggers. I thoroughly enjoy it. Infact I look forward to it.

I have bookmarked by most loved blogs and first thing I do is to visit all of them whether or not they have had a recent post.

Although, I wear makeup to work and most of my friends know my love for it, but I haven't told them about this blog.
This is one place where I come and spin a web of lemmings,fly to see beautiful look and read great stuff.

I love feeling like Super hero and I want to be like it

I regret buying.....

Aren't there some products which make you think "What was I thinking while buying this"
Revlon Silver Screen nailpaint is just one of them. Every time when I see it my nailpaint collection, I wonder "Can,I ever make this work?"





The problem is not just the color..but also that is streaks like there is no tomorrow.I have tried with base coat, without base coat, nothing can make this streak free

I have almost given up on this.

How did the challenge go ????

As the people reading this blog would be knowing that I had gone on a 21day challenge of not buying anything.
The question is how did I perform and what did I learn

Regarding, how I performed,I would say it was a good effort considering the number of temptations I had around me.

Almost every other store was having some sale or some event.But, no, yours truly, managed to keep all temptations at bay.Most of you would be knowing that this is not easy. It requires alot of self determination to walk away from a bargain bin ( with oh to die for nailpaints) and MAC collections( imagine I was able to dodge Fabulous Felines).
Being on ban didn't mean that I avoided department stores or malls. I went there, swatched , drooled and loved but all with the resolution "I am not buying anything if not absolutely necessary". And I was also not finding any lame excuses to make it necessary.

I think the technique to this challenge was

-> go through the stash before starting the challenge
-> before buying anything think if you actually need it
-> Try to think if you have anything similar already with you
-> Would you be using it often (eg: highlighter) or you are buying it cause blogworld is abuzz about it
-> Don't buy anything the first time you like or want to buy. Go back home, sleep over it and then see if the desire to buy it is even there after few days.

The last point, I do often and it really works for me.

Now, to what I learned

-> 'No shopping' challenge is really hard especially when you have MAC LE editions
-> No sale is the 'last one'. There would always be another sale. So,its not absolute necessary to buy in a sale
-> It makes more sense to buy something when you actually need it rather than buying useless stuff just because its on sale
-> The feeling of being able to walk away from something you swatched and loved is amazing
-> Its specially hard when you are having either emotional highs or lows
-> First week was the hardest but once I was in, I was actually enjoying and trying hard to win the challenge.

So,yes, I have tamed ( atleast for time being ) my unsatiable desire to buy more things.

Bye,till I see you next time

P.S : I have hauled few things this weekend. So you can expect a haul post soon
P.P.S : I am not expert on anything, everything mentioned is just my experience.

Day 4,5 & 6

It has mostly been uneventful...just made a list of few things I might swatch/buy.In fact yesterday I was at a department store, I could control my urge to buy MAC Old Gold pigment (its beautifulll...)and suck up on some Revlon GWP.
It felt good to be able to not buy anything inspite of liking so many.

My list of current lemmings

laura mercier cortisabe stick gloss
chanel intmitable mascara
dior high shine charmed pink 578 ( Rati, I have to blame you for this)

21 Days Challenge

Hmm..Okay, the buyer’s guilt has set in.
I feel this way every time I have bought something new, I resolve not to buy anything more and still end up buying new stuff.

So, today I have resolved to break this vicious cycle. And break it hard.

What do I aim to do: Not buy anything for 21 days. Absolutely nothing except for daily survival stuff like grocery, tickets etc.

Rules:
1. Nothing is to be bought for myself
2. Gifts can be bought

How do I plan to do it:

 Buying for others doesn’t mean I should buy for myself
 Going to mall doesn’t mean I should buy something
 Swatching something doesn’t mean that I should have it
 Stress at work shouldn’t result in trip to local drugstore
 Not to be taken in by various sales & promotion
 Make a sensible list of things I would buy after this ban is lifted
 Going through my current stash

The reason why I am doing this is not because I have too much makeup (cause let me accept, it will never happen. There will always be something which I would need)

I want to break the cycle of mindless shopping. I need to coach myself to pick up stuff which I really need and not which I ‘need’.

To help myself, I will post every day as to how I am holding up. I would also share with you what I might be lemming (that will definitely happen even if I am not shopping!!!)

I also plan to do following series of post

Manic Monday: Nail paint from the stash will be featured
Boring Tuesday: Eyeliner from the stash will be featured
Humpy Wednesday: Eye shadow / Eye shadow palette will be featured
Oh so close Thursday: Lipstick from the stash will be featured
TGI Friday : Gloss from the stash will be featured
Happy Saturday: List of things I swatched or formed a lemming for or anything random
Wow Sunday: Eye Look

I also bought few treats yesterday, will share them with you in next post

Bye, Till next post
