December Favourites!

Hello Everybody!

How is the new year going so far? Well I hope! 🙂

My new year so far has been marvelous! If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen the pictures of me hanging out and enjoying the new year cold! Sadly, the winter season is almost over here and it is quite sad as it is just January! Which is why I took the opportunity to go out more and enjoy the cold chills before the winter ends.

However, I have an exam in a few days!! That is actually the reason why I had not posted my Monthly Favourites post earlier. Usually I have it up in my blog by the 4th of every month but I was a little busy these past few days.

December had been the best month for me in 2015 because so much happened! If you read my latest post, “New Year Goals and Resolution”, you probably know what I am talking about. My sister left for the US and I have been lonely ever since! However, I am so happy for her! My best friend’s birthday was in December and I had so much fun last month! Winter is my favourite season and that is usually when I like to hang out more and wear amazing winter clothes!

I know you all came to read about my December Favourites so I will stop my ramblings and get right to it! 🙂

 

I will start with make-up items first so, the 2 lipsticks I absolutely loved using in December are Lady Bug from M.A.C. and Saucy Mauve from L’Oreal Paris. The consistency of of these lipsticks are just fantastic! They are so rich and creamy. I used Saucy Mauve pretty much everyday as it imparted such a lovely shade of pinky mauve which looked very natural and it hydrated my lips so much! I don’t really possess many red lipsticks but I really wanted a new one this year so I got the Lady Bug from MAC and wore it during the whole Christmas and New Year time period. Oh my goodness, it was heavenly! It was so creamy on the lips and smelled like cookies and cream! I loved using it so very much!

There are 2 nail polishes that I became obsessed with and they are Bling Thing from Maybelline Color Show Gold Digger Collection and Fresh Maker from Jenna Hipp. The Gold Digger Collection was newly launched in India last month and being the Maybelline lover that I am, I had to pick it up! It had a very festive vibe and I wore it during Christmas and New Year. Usually I steered clear from minty colours but when I applied the Fresh Maker I just fell in love with it! It is such a beautiful bright minty green colour! I would highly recommend it to everyone!

Lets’s move on to hair products!

How cute are these ribbon clips?

How cute are they?

They killed me with their cuteness!

I wore them every single day! These clips are just so adorable and perfect for the festive season! I can’t get enough of them!

I used the Garnier Oil-In-Cream twice and I think it’s pretty good! If you are running late and your hair looks horrible and in desperate need of oiling or moisture, I think this might help. (It is not a styling cream. You have to wash it off with shampoo) I am not exactly a big fan of this product but it helped me in time of need so… yeah…

I’d like to mention a book. It’s called Live Organic and it is by Lynn Huggins-Cooper. I learnt so much from this! It has topics such as, Mindful Eating, Vegetable Vitality, Dreadful Deodorants, Herbal Heaven, Organic Dairy Products and several others! It is so informative and eye opening. I’d really ask you guys to grab a copy of it! You wont regret it!

And do you see that little notebook with owls and other birds on a colourful tree? Yeah, I am a sucker for everything cute! I had to mention that absolutely pretty notebook! I love it so sooo much!!

And now (FINALLY!!) let’s talk about chocoloates!

Christmas and New Year is not special unless you have chocolates! Usually if I have chocolates, I will have a few squares or a few bites but the moment I bit into Cadbury Bubbly, I knew I was not going to be satisfied with just few bites. This is my 3rd pack, I believe! And the Biscotti has always been a favourite but it tasted even more delicious that time of year!

DELICIOUS DEATHS!! 😀

 

There you go folks! My December favourites! Hope you enjoyed it!

Life Update #3 + Announcement about The Heir Of Slytherin

December is here and I am so excited! I have so many plan for this month and I am determined to have lots of fun before 2015 ends! 🙂
So before I ramble on about what is going on in my life right now, there is an announcement I’d like to make about the fanfiction I was writing here; The Heir Of Slytherin. I am really sorry for the delay! I know many of you are waiting for the next chapter and I haven’t uploaded it. Well I’d like to inform you that I won’t be uploading the new chapters here anymore because this blog is changing and there won’t be any space for the story here. Fear not, I am not abandoning it. I am simply moving it to fanfiction.net!
I read a lot of fanfictions there and I recently opened up an account over there and I would be transferring the story to that platform.
So I will be leaving a link to the story in my next life Update post which will be coming up soon as it’s December! My favourite month! So if any of you would like to continue reading the story, here is an update for you! 😀

Also, do any of you read fanfictions over there? I just love reading those stories as they are so creative and fun! 🙂

I had a look-book picture session today and it went on for hours and I was so exhausted after that! The pictures came out really good, I think! I loved it! Can’t wait for you guys to see it!! Here’s to the new blog! So excited, are you?? 😀

I also spent the whole evening sitting under my blanket working on my multimedia project/exam which is on Monday! I also have to attend a wedding that very day which will start when I giving my exam and I don’t know if I’ll make it! 😛

Wish me luck for my exam!! (Will need it!) 😛

See you soon!
Bye! 😀

November Favourites! (2015)

Happy December! 😀

It is that time of the year again when we look back and remember all the crazy things we did in the past months! 🙂

December is already here and before you know it, we will be saying goodbye to 2015 and will be welcoming 2016 with huge grins! 🙂

November for me has been full of delight and entertainment! I have enjoyed each and every day of it and I am sorry to see it pass so quickly!

I have been very productive this month and have been working hard on my studies and on the new blog which I plan on starting before the New Year or maybe on New Year, I do not know yet! I want it to be special!! 🙂

I am not an angel! Not one bit! I have been torturing my sister and my mother with lots of pranks and mischief and I am very sure that they are not afraid of the Boogeyman anymore! 😛
There is something about winter months that make me want to pull various kinds of pranks and I almost (ALMOST) feel sorry for my two lovely ladies! 😛

But I am sure you do not want me to ramble on and on about it anymore! Let’s talk about the things I loved using in November! 🙂

For my hair, I have been using John Frieda Frizz Ease Curl Reviver Mousse on damp hair and I saw that my frizzy hair was a lot more managable then! So, yeah! I loved it! Used it almost everyday! I have 3 bottles of that, I think! Maybe 4?

The next product will confirm that I am obsessed with Bath and Body Works! I think in most of my Favourites posts, I have one lotion from B&BW in it! I can’t help how wonderful they are and I am sure many of you will agree with me! So I have been using Bath & Body Works Moonlight Path body lotion and more than half of it is gone!!

I have also been loving Colorbar Full Cover Make-Up Stick Concealer which I bought earlier this month and I have loved using it! If any of would like a detailed review on this product, let me know down in the comment section! 🙂

Maybelline Cheeky Glow Blush in Peachy Sweetie is another favourite! It provided such a lovely natural hue to cheeks! Been using it a lot!! 🙂

For my eyes, I have enjoyed using Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eyepencils in the shades Smoke and Sabbath. Super pigmented and long lasting! Did not have to worry about touch-ups!! 🙂

Throughout November, I have been applying various coloured nailpolishes and the ones that stood out most for me are:
Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy – In The Money 220
Jenna Hipp Nailpolishes in the shades Hollywood Reporter,After Party and Better Slate Than Never

The Jenna Hipp ones are chunky glitter ones in silver and rust respectively and the other one is an ashy colour with purple undertones in it while the Revlon one is an absolute favourite of mine right now. It is such a beautiful colour! I wanted to show you guys.

I wore my Maybelline Glitter Mania Nailpolish in the shade Bling on the Blue on my ring finger along with it and I think the added bonus of glitter makes it even more attractive! 🙂 It is a light green neon colour which is bright and pretty! I bought it a few days ago and have been wearing it since! 🙂

The next 2 things are stationery items. I had heard a few of friends talk about how you should be carrying sensible looking notebooks and diaries in college and not the colourful graphic ones like the ones we used back in school. I guess I didn’t grow up and mature like them! 😛 I still love using graphic notebooks and when I saw this one, I had to buy it!

I bought several of them in different colours and I love writing in them! Go Graphic Notebooks!!
I don’t know why but I love pencils which have erasers stuck on the top. I LOVE THEM!! I use them all the time and I bought another packet of them! How random of me! I can picture your expressions right now! 😀

Well that’s all folks! I hope you enjoyed this post!! Have a wonderful December! Enjoy with your loved ones!

Bake cookies and cakes and don’t worry about your weight!

Christmas and New Year is coming after all! Say Sayonara to your diet and dig in to those lovely gooey choco-chip cookies and hot chocolate!!

Have a wonderful day ahead!!
See you soon!
Bye! XO

October Favourites 2015!!

Hi everyone! 🙂

Winter is here and it’s time to take out those cozy woollens again! Winter is my favourite season because that is when I take my fashion to the next step with lovely scarves, jackets and boots! October has been such a fun month and I am so sorry it ended so soon!
It was full of festivities and colours! I enjoyed everyday of it! I hope you had a lovely October as well! 🙂

So today I am going to talk about my October favourites with you. Since it was the time for festivities, excitement and fatigue at the same time, I loved using and experimenting with a lot of body/skin care products. From a huge list, I picked out the ones which I loved using the most.

So here are my Oct Favs!

Let’s start with Marks & Spencer Moroccan Escape Bitter Orange Rejuvinating Wonder Oil! It made my skin so supple and soft! I only used a little of it but the results were amazing. It made my skin ready for each day!

Next one is a lipstick from Maybelline New York in MAT 4 (There is no other name) I love using Maybelline products! They are perfect for college girls on a budget. They have such fun and quirky colours. I love using Maybelline lipsticks the most and own quite a lot of them! 🙂 So this shade is a rich bold coral-y red and it was perfect for the festivities!

The next product is a body lotion from Bath & Body Works Signature Collection called Paris Amour. I used this everyday throughout October to moisturize my body and it delivered such lovely results! I guess you all might have guessed that I am an ardent lover of Bath & Body Works moisturizer by now! Do you guys use any?

Now for my face, I started using Nivea Soft Moisturizer before going to bed and I woke up with baby soft skin. My skin look so moisturized and hydrated. I have been using this as my night cream now and I have to purchase a bigger tub! 🙂

Apart from that, I tried on Inveda BB Cream and fell in love with it. It gave such a natural dewy look. I don’t usually go for dewy looks, I prefer matte but this cream totally changed my mind!!

Last but certainly not the least, Maybelline the Colossal liner! I can’t live without my winged eyes. I cant. I loved using this. I am still using it and I probably will repurchase it! 🙂

I hope you liked this post!!

I am going to post a Life Update soon where I am going to tell you some exciting news and a confession!! 😛

Stay tuned!!

Festive Make-up: Gold Nude

Hi Everyone! 🙂

Since it is the month of festivities, I thought I’d show you how I did my make-up for the occasion! I am by no means an expert when it comes to applying make-up. I apply it the way I think it will look good on me and sometimes I watch some make-up tutorials to help me out.

I love nude based make-up as it really suits me and it goes well with all outfits. During Durga puja, I wear bold glamourous colours so keeping a nude based make-up helps balance out the look. It is not over-powering but subtle and quite natural.

Basically I just used 7 products to get this look. So if you’d like to know more about this make-up look, keep on reading!

So firstly, after washing my face, I applied my moisturizer which Johara PhytoBright Whitening Day Lotion with SPF 20. I love this moisturizer! It is light, gets absorbed quickly and makes my skin really soft and hydrated.

I tend to steer clear from primers, foundations and concealers not because I don’t want to use them but because the climate here is extremely humid and everything, no matter how light the formula is, will run down my face. So instead of those, I used a tinted cream called Lakme CC Cream, which is my all-time favourite. It provides medium coverage and blends in smoothly.

To set everything on my face, I used my compact powder from Bourjois Paris. I love this compact as the powder is very finely milled and delicate. The applicator sponge is squishy soft and has a velvety silken texture. The powder blends snugly and gives a very flawless finish. The shade of the powder gives out a luxuriant soft golden-pink glow which is just perfect!

Now that may face is done, I move on to my eyes. For my eyeshadow, I used my Maybelline Diamond Glow by EyeStudio in the shade Copper Brown. I used the light soft gold medium shade (2^nd from left) and applied it all over my lid and used a blending brush to blend it in. Then I went in with the gorgeously bright gold colour (3^rd from left, 2^nd from right) and applied over the 1^st colour but only 2/3 then blended it. Then taking the dark copper colour on the extreme right, I applied it on the outer corners of my lid and on the outer side of the crease then blended it inwards to create a shadow and a subtle copper smokey eye. It also acted as the transition colour. Finally, taking the highlight colour, I applied it on my brown bone and lightly blended it to make the eyes pop out more even in this soft look. I cannot live without eyeliners. For me, a traditional outfit (Or any otheroutfit for that matter) is not complete unless I have my eyeliner. I used my Maybelline Colossal Liner and created a small wing on the outer lids.  I finished the eye make-up off with generous coatings of my Maybelline Hyper Curl Volume Express Waterproof mascara.

For my lips, I lightly dabbed the Lakme Absolute Lip Tint Matte in the shade Magenta Magic. I didn’t build up the colour to its fullest as I was going for a soft golden-pink look. The shade looked light and gentle and it completed my look.

Here is the finished look! 🙂

There you go guys! My very simple and gold nude make-up look. I hope you guys like it! Let me know your thoughts on this look down in the comment section! Also, if you liked this mini tutorial, let me know if you’d like to see some more!

Have a wonderful day! Keep smiling!!
