NOTD: OPI Chicago Champagne Toast

One word, its a beautiful color especially for olive toned beauties out there.
Remember the nail color, Madhuri was wearing in Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, I always loved that color. I think this nailpaint is quite close to it. A beautiful brown with hint of pink and mauve in it







What I liked:

-> The color is absolutely fabulous
-> 2 coats and you are done

What I didn't like:

Nothing ....I love this Champagne

Green Smokey Look

I had tried this green smokey look sometime back. Unfortunately I forgot to make a note of the colors used. But, I am sure the green eyeshadow is MAC Humid as thats the only green I have in my stash.







P.S : Please excuse my eyebrows

Review : Lanolips 101

I have always been tormented with dry flaky lips all year round and its gets worse when its cold.I can't tell you how bad it is, I can't wear lipstick and it hurts.
So, in one of my trips to Priceline I picked up this little gem, "The Original Lanolips"



What I liked

-> The consistency. It thinner than vaseline and is easy to spread on lips
-> There is no smell or taste which is a big plus
-> There is no sensation of any sorts when applied
-> Use it overnight and it works magic

What I didn't like

-> It can't be worn under lipstick, so I have to mostly wear it overnight or when I have no lipcolor
-> It has to be applied using fingers as there is no slanted tips. This is real pain
when travelling and you want to reapply it

But,all in all, its a great product for people who are out there with dry lips.

Price : Approx $17.00 AUD ( I have had this for long so the price is an approximation)

NOTD : Chanel Rouge Fatal 487

Wishing all my readers and followers a very Happy New Year...may this year brings all joys and prosperity to you.

Now to the nail color which I had been sporting for over a week now and absolutely love it. The color, the texture, the shine and the wear...everything is awesome



The picture has been taken in natural light so there is no alteration of the color. Its the classic maroonish red with great shine. The picture is after almost 6 days of wearing. As you can see that there is slight wear at the tip but there is no chipping. ( I had used a top coat as well)

What I liked

-> Color, you just can't go wrong with it.
-> The brilliant shine it has
-> The formulation,not too thick but creamy.
-> 2 coats and the color was as in the bottle
-> No chipping even after 6 days

What I didn't like

-> But of course the price. At $39AUD its on the pricey side

So,let me know what you think of this color...and share any of your favourites

Trilogy Rose Hand Cream

Trilogy Rose Hand cream

I am a sucker for hand creams. I buy them quicker than what I can use. In one my recent trips to pharmacy I was wandering around when I tested Trilogy Rose Hand Cream. Although I didn’t buy it then but I very soon made another trip again to pick it up.





Texture: It’s nice and creamy. It almost melts in your hand when you start rubbing in.


Smell: As the name suggests it smells like roses. Not too strong or too light. Its just sits right

What I like about it :
-> Its very hydrating
-> Its good value for money
-> Love the smell of roses
-> And hold your breath for this one…its not at all greasy. Seriously you can apply it and start typing right away. No greasy sticky feeling after that.

What I don’t like about it:
Nothing.

Would I buy it again: Absolutely. I will get it for my mother when I meet her next.

Update

It’s been long since my last post. Few things have happened since.
I have turned a year older…hopefully wiser as well.
I have got a new haircut…nothing too drastic just a little change
I was also occupied with work and other things in life.
I have got new followers…Welcome all and thanks for stopping by and putting your comments. As a blogger it’s very encouraging to see that someone actually reads what we write.

For past few days, I am feeling very little inspired to do make up or try any look. It’s the usual liner and that’s it. The only thing which I have been wearing daily is the Illamasqua Cream foundation (Review coming soon!!)

I plan to try some new looks this weekend…lets see how it goes

And, last but not least, my birthday present..15 MAC brushes...all from permanent









Isn’t it gorgeous…absolutely love it.

I also bought some make up as part of birthday pampering

-> Illamasqua Cream Foundation
-> Illamasqua Lipstick Climax
-> Chanel Nailpaints Paradoxal
-> Chanel Nailpaint

Can you believe, I have still not tried most of the stuff except of the foundation **sighs**

The Humble Qtip

Yes, I think this is the most humble item in my entire makeup kit. I hardly credit it for what it generally does for me. Its one of the most used item in my armour




Image Source : luxurytyme.com

I use it for

-> smudging my eye shadow

-> smudging my eyeliner on upper lash line

-> removing the eyeliner from lash line. I just dip in it eye makeup remover and gently run it along the lash line.

-> Removing any residual eye makeup from under eye area

-> Correcting any makeup mistakes like bleeding lipsticks or shaky eyeliner application

-> Removing any foundation etc which gets stuck in eye brow (it happens to me)



This is the most used item on my dresser.

What about yours?? Who is the humble warrior in your troop ??
