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!

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

HUGE HAUL- September 2015

Hello Everybody!

Firstly I would like to apologize for the lack of posts! 😦

The reason for my not uploading any thing is because I have been a bit busy with my studies and I was also suffering writer’s block.

So I skipped my classes today and I just went out with my sister. She wanted to take me out since I have been spending all my time in classes and I think I haven’t hung out for many months now. So she took me on a retail therapy. And boy did it work!

It is true what they say, don’t take things overboard. I think I did just that by not going out at all for at least 2 months or maybe more. Life just becomes dull and uninteresting. So yeah, if any of you have been doing nothing but work, go out guys! Take a break! Have some fun! Give your BRAIN a break! 😀

So I had a blast today! We went to the mall and it was soooo much fun! Thanks sis, you are the best!

So I did some shopping today. When I was buying stuff, I wanted to do something new. I wanted to experiment. Now when you have sensitive skin, your options are drastically reduced and you have to stick to the certain products which you know and have been using for a long time.

Today I wanted to take a risk. I told you guys in my August Favourites post that what kind of a beauty blogger does that make me if I don’t try out new things. It was a start but I am going all the way now.

So here is the haul!

So let’s dig in!

First it’s the BATHROOM ESSENTIALS

1. TRESemme Hair Fall Control- It is an absolute favourite and I love using it!
2. UP & UP Acne Wash with Pink Grapefruit- I have used it before and it is very effective and I love the smell of it!
3. Malavara Lime Vetiver Body Wash- It has Lime… LIME!!!! Need I say more? 🙂
4. Kama Ayurveda Soap Free Face Cleanser- It is a small trial pot…It has a faint smell of fennel… I really wanted to try it out!
5.  Matrix Biolace Deep Smoothing Serum- So basically I am fishing for serums which help control frizz.
6. John Freida Frizz Ease Curl Reviver Mousse- My aunt recommended it. So I like to keep my hair curly and a bit messy but not frizzy so I am going to try this one out.

SKIN AND BODY CARE

I felt really confident about the products that I bought. Let me know if you are using any of there! 🙂

1. Spinz Sun Tan Remover- I have heard it is really effective and I get tanned everyday, very easily so I am quite eager to try it out!
2. Bath & Body Works Signature Collection- Carried Away intense moisture body butter- I used a bit today and Oh my goodness! The fragrance is just so lovely! I am already addicted to it!
3. Lacto Calamine Oil Control Lotion- This one is an oldie but a goodie! I have been using this since I was 11 years old and it really helps in controlling my pimples.
4. The Body Shop Amazon Wild Lily Body Lotion- I always pick lotions which have a light refreshing fragrance and this one stood out for me!
5. Chambor Hydra Essential Day Moisturizer
6. Banana Boat Kids Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50
7. Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Serum
8. Organic Harvest Sunscreen SPF 60- My best friend uses it and she recommended it to me. I am quite excited to use it.
9. Cuccio Naturale Butter Papaya & Guava Lotion- This intrigued me… Especially the small tube like packaging. Looks so pretty and cute!
10. Malavara Lime Vetiver Body Lotion- Lime again. Yes, I am obsessed with their fragrance and their goodness!

MAKE-UP

Yeah I know you all have been waiting for this one! So I am a lover of smokey eyes and nude shade eye shadows. I never buy colours because quite frankly, colours don’t look good on me. Natural make-up looks the best on my eyes. But as I said, experimenting! Gotta try new things! So I decided to give colours another chance!

1. Cuccio Colour Nailpolish- It is a bright orange colour and the quantity is nice.
2. Revlon Colour Stay Gel Envy 400 Royal Flush- A super cute bright hot pink! Who doesn’t love that?
3. Inveda BB Cream SPF 20
4. Soultree Ayurvedic Kajal
5. Maybelline Hyper Curl Volume Express Waterproof Mascara- Oldie and a goodie! Love it!
6. Bourjois Paris Effect 3D MAX Long Lasting Lip Gloss 16 Prune Exquisite
7. Inglot Eyeshadow Double Sparkle- It is pink in colour and I don’t know if it will look good on me but…No harm in trying!
8. Nivea Cocoa Cacao Lip butter
9. Bourjois Paris Compact Powder- I cannot live without compact powders. I am going to try out various brands now.
10. BE A BOMBSHELL Eyeshadow- Okay… Yeah, I picked up a nude shade… Ahem!
11. Inglot Sleeks Cream Lip Paint/ Rouge- I am not going to use it as a rouge but I am going to use it on my lips. It’s a gorgeous colour and has the fragrance of Shea Butter.
12. Wet n Wild Fergie Center Stage Collection- Colours! Can’t wait to try it out!

Yay! I enjoyed a lot today! So grateful to my sister for taking me out! So everybody out there who has been working non-stop, give yourself a break otherwise it will become so dull that you wont feel like working anymore… You wont get any motivation or energy. So get out and give yourself a break and treat yourself. Do it with your family, friends or just by yourself but give yourself some rest!

So I hope you enjoyed this post!

-Amrita!! 🙂
