I'm a turned impulse buyer

I never was until... I had to shop for stationery and I got lured with these all!
I wanted notebooks and post its, Pens and some crayons...for candles.
Now you don't want to see my stationery, do you?

And now, When I look at the retail therapy I'd this afternoon...




I honestly wanted to buy just Nivea Total cleanup but all the other were stray :P So I had to pick them up ;)








Reviews don't make me happy!
Trying does
-An impulse buyer, Idee. :P

I think I need a new vanity or atleast storage and ideas, lots of them. I'm out of space.

Oh My MUA...


A word spreads like a fire!

I wanted to try MUA since I came across few reviews that the 'Undressed' and 'Heaven and Earth' Palettes are Naked 1 & 2 dupes.
I'm dreaming of UD Naked...

I saved my savings and asked my friend to buy me from his paypal in December but then this happened!
MUA hit 35k likes and they screamed out the 35% off with free shipping!
You'd dare to think, I resist.

And I 'udaofied' all my money in CUSTOMS :-(
And to add more disappointment, The Artiste palette came in broken and a Mascara all dried up! :o
But I'm still happy that none of my products went missing. I shelled out 590 INR as custom duty!
Say out loud 'Custom' and I shudder :-(
But... But.. I'm still getting stuff with their 50K likes offer. ;-)

Here what all I got when I was way too greedy!



MUA Heaven and Earth Palette
MUA The Artiste Palette
MUA BB creams 2 in Medium and one in Light.
MUA Face Primer
MUA Eye Primer
MUA Powder Blushes in shade 1,2 & 4
MUA Cream blush in Bittersweet
MUA Single eyeshadow- Black
MUA Pro-Eyebrow kit
MUA Gel eye liner in On-the-go (missing from the picture)
MUA Mascara: One washable and other washproof.
MUA Eye definer in Auburn
MUA Compact in shade 2
I think I misplaced one product, I can't find with all mess at my place.
I haven't tried any of it yet, I just packed all of it and kept in my vanity safely!

When all the renovation mess is cleaned, I will safely pull out all at once and color my face like a clown. Hah!

Did you get anything?

Sleek,Hands down: A Sleek Haul

Just then I was confused with so many things on my mind. I knew what I wanted and It was hands down Sleek for me.
I'm glad my package was not mishandled and reached me safely.

I got two Eyeshadow palettes and one blush,but I think I have to shop again pretty surely.
Sleek I-divine Acid Palette and Au Naturel, with Sleek Flamingo Blush.






Sleek I-divine Au Naturel








 


Sleek Blush in Flamingo





I am simply awestruck with Au-Naturel. And now there is something I'm going to use everyday.
I cannot imagine more happiness than finding someday(before its too late) that I've just hit the pan!
I'm surely repurchasing this one again.
And for Flamingo Blush, see for yourself ;-)

Now I canot wait to get some more from Sleek.

Well My bill was $30.44 including the shipping and I had to pay 330 INR as customs.
Not much of a pinch to my pocket.

Total Spent: Around 2000 Bucks!
Remember there wasn't a single crack or slight damage. That makes me more happy!

Eye Trend For Fall

Whether you're partial to a cat eye or colorful shadows, this season is all about the statement eye. Sharpen your pencils and dust off your brushes as we take a look at the best new looks from the fall 2012 runways.

The Modern Cat Eye

How To Wear It: Trace on liner using a fine-tipped makeup brush (the better for getting the perfect curve and flicked-up edge) and go for a gel formula with a high-gloss finish to catch the light.
- Harper Bazaar

If you don't have Gel eyeliner...[ Yes it is possible, If you're a make- up novice or have a limited budget or even can't do with Gel eyeliner]
Here a simple trick to Cat eyeliner or substitute for gel eyeliner.

You need: A Black eyeshadow and Eyeliner brush. Thats all.

Damp the bristles of brush and smear in the eyeshadow pot, enough to let the powder the bristles.
Line your eyes with the brush, and shape them according to your need. If you want slight gel eyeliner glossy look, aafter you damp your bristles smear light petroleum jelly on the brush.


Eyeliner using Colorbar Black tie eyeshadow.



Gel Eyeliner, I've used Maybelline Dramatic Gel eyeliner.

Hope you can notice the difference, It is a subtitute after all.
If you want soft defined eyes with less or not much drama, You can always play safe with Black Eyeshadow!
If you're used to Drama and eccentricity, Well I'm not stopping you. :P
I'd love to try it with Matte eyeshadow, you can try colored ones too.

Incase, You're wondering about the products used.


Personally I love using Eyeshadows as eyeliners.

P.S. I'm not claiming that I did Cat eye, this is how I generally wear eyeliner. *Grin*

$20/1000INR Makeup Challenge



I am not much of a Make-up Person, But yes I do love to sit in front of my dressing table and pretend I am doing Make-up. Hah!
I'm more of a Minimalist, I'd play with Eyes or Cheeks... I detest Dark, Waxy Lipsticks.
No Foundations too...( I'm having second thoughts here...)
I'd just put on some Kajal or winged eyeliner with a soft tinted lip balm for College.

For the Challenge I have used:




Lotus 3-in-1 Matte look - 325 INR ( I got it for 295 at Medplusbeauty)
Maybelline Colossal Kajal - 150 INR ( I got it for 135 at Medplusbeauty)
Maybelline Hypercurl Mascara - 200 INR
Maybelline Expert Eyeshadow in Seashore Frost. ( I've to use this up before 2013, I use it daily ;-) ) - 240 INR
Maybelline Lip color Bloom in Peach.- 99 INR


Total: 969 INR including Discounts :P


I've used Lotus 3-in-1 Matte look as Base.
For eyes, I've blended 1.Base ie Mint Colored Eyeshadow with the sponge applicator provided with quad  on the crease, avoided going overboard.
I blended 4.Liner ie Gunmetal green on the corners. Avoided going overboard too.
Tightlined my eyes using Colossal Kajal and lined my Lower lids too.
I've concealed Kajal using 4. Liner from the quad.
Single stroke of Mascara on my lashes and two swipes of Color Bloom on my lips.





Peach Bloom on my Lips


A Light Mint colored sweep on my Lids.


I'm scared of FOTDs, But I don't know how I have the heart to post them.
