Best look from American Music Awards 2013

Hello,

Here is my favorite beauty pick from the American Music Awards 2013 and needless to say the outfit looks great as well!

                                   Christina Aguilera
She not only got her body back (from last year where she was way heavier), Aguilera looked marvelous with the white Maria Lucia Hohan dress and  key statement pieces.

Christina Aguliera sported old Hollywood glamour look which reminded me of modern day Marilyn Manroe!

1.L'Oreal Color Riche lipstick in no.410
2. Sweep The Body Shop's eye shadow in Honeycomb (available in a shimmer cubes quad) over the lids, which really makes Aguilera's blue eyes pop!
3. Ardell's demi pixies- which are shorter from front but longer on the ends will complete the look to perfection.

L'Oreal Elvive Instant Miracle Care-Achieve smooth hair

Hello,

Today I will be reviewing a drugstore conditioner that gives high end results. It is the L'Oreal Elvive Instant Miracle Care.
 This product is packaged in a tube with glossy a outlook- totally catches ones attention as soon as you stand in front of the shampoo and conditioner rack. The conditioner smells like any high end perfume which is why I wanted to buy it right away. I usually take time and read (I did that here as well) but here it was more on skimming through quickly because it smelt so good.

One con of the packaging is that most of L'Oreal products have to much writing on the product and the jest (important part) is only two sentences long.

Anyways, I have been using this for a bit over 2 months and have repurchased the product.

Simply apply to the length of the hair away from your roots and leave for 1 min and wash away as usual. It will leave your hair smooth and they definitely smell amazing.

The product actually suggests that you apply from root to tip, however my crown gets oily if I apply any product and don't wash way properly hence I stay away from "root to tip".

My hair are manageable less tangled and has given great blow dried results. The frizz is very much in control. I started using this in October which is very hot and humid in my part of the world and my hair adapted to it quite pleasantly and needless to say it is doing wonders in the winter days.

My hair result without any serums after
wash and blow dried!
Give this a try and let me know your experience!

Winter Hair routine


Hello,

Battling dry coarse hair is a situation to dread all winter. I have been trying out this new technique I  came across while reading one of the beauty magazines and decided to try it out and the best is it's working for me.

Technique:
1. Before applying shampoo put some conditioner on the ends (YES before you shampoo). Do not wash just leave the conditioner on the ends and apply shampoo and rinse as usual.

The hairstylist said this will not dry your hair when the shampoo is coming off as you have coated the hair with conditioner.

2.After this, apply conditioner again on all the hair away from your scalp and clean as usual.

First I thought this might be too much conditioner for my hair or maybe it will make my hair limp but it is actually working. My hair come out smooth and when I hit the dryer the frizz and tangles stay away.

Try it and share if it worked for you!

1. SEPHORA COLLECTION

Desert Sunset Eye shadow and Blush Palette


PRICE: $10 (valued at $16)
The eye shadows are shimmery and frosted true the blush is very subtle for winters but for $10 this is a great pick. By experience Sephora eye shadows fallout especially shimmery ones but its not serious. The pigmentation is great and good reviews by other users as well.
Beautiful shades will work year round!

2.LORAC
Solid Gold Eye Shadow Palette

ULTA EXCLUSIVE in $12 ONLY. If you're a fan of LORAC PRO and its too expensive this is a STEAL. LORAC shades are pigmented and amazing quality. According to Ulta this is palette valued at $110.

Warm tone shades and varies from matte to frosted no shimmers. The gold casing does not look $12 at all and perfect for a gift!








3. LORAC

ULTA EXCLUSIVE! and $12 it is!!!

This is another STELLAR cool tone palette. You can buy both and still pay way less than any other LORAC stuff available.

These colors are absolute must for this season. The casing is sleek in white. Blends well as well as great color pay off.






Enjoy and I hope this makes your shopping experience easier!

Holiday Wishlist!

Hi everyone,


Today I will be sharing some great beauty finds that are up for the holiday season. Even though Christmas is not my religious festival but I can't wait check out some great deals and share with my friends and family and everyone else!

Hopefully it will help some of you to decide what to get or check out before going crazy in front of the racks.

Starting with Benefit's limited edition Holiday sets, most of the gift sets are packaged in tins with some sassy illustration. These can easily be reused as storage boxes or show piece as one finds them fit.

little love potions
little love potions (Bestsellers collection)
This first one comes with (ALL DELUXE sizes):

 the POREfessional 0.25 US fl. oz.
 it's potent! eye cream 3.0 g
 High beam 0.08 US fl. oz.
 Posietint 0.08 US fl. oz.
 Stay don't stray in light/medium 0.08 US fl. oz.
 Watt's up! 0.08 US fl. oz.
 BADgal lash 4.0g 
"that gal" 0.25 US fl. oz.
 Hoola 3.0g 
 Hoola ultra plush deluxe sample 0.22 US fl. oz.

Price: $36

This is great for new Benefit users or trying some new ones that we don't see reviewed as much as the Hoola bronzer. I love POREfessional really soothes skin as a primer and BADgal Lash is also a good mascara now second to Benefit's own 'They are Real'. I have wanted to try the other products and with this purchase it will give me a chance to see if I should get full size products.

Show me the love!
Show me the Love!
This is one where you get a tin can and I think it looks amazing.
This includes:
full size they're real! mascara 8.5 g 
full size benetint 0.4 US fl oz.
deluxe the POREfessional  0.25 US fl. oz.


Price $36


Now the mascara is one of the most raved and reviewed. I also got one travel size in a gift and loved it. This gift set is best as you get 2 full size products in  $36 which is amazing because the mascara alone is priced at $33 and you get to use the tin nothing to throw away!
