Trend Alert: Orange is the new black!

Hello,

Setting into spring/summers don't side line the coral or orange hues. Many saw orange being used at the recent fashion weeks from New York to Paris.

It is a vibrant color and it does amazing with the pastels and metallic clothing for this season.

The L'Oreal range is good in drugstore options to test this color.Go with a very bronzed eye and face look with an orange lip.This look just adds punch to the whole summer weather.

L'Oreal Color Riche no.#303

                                                              

Enjoy these looks in 2014 fashion weeks this year!

Caution:Skin Care alert!

Hello,

Recently I noticed some big pores on my skin which got me worried but motivated to work on some proper skin care routine. Hence, I decided to share my morning and night skin care routine. I have combination skin where my t-zone is oily and rest of my face is dry.

I diligently clean my makeup every night with the seaweed purifying facial cleanser by The Body Shop, I use this in the morning after washing my face. The seaweed line is renowned for tightening pores and works best for combination to oily skins. Not only does this clean makeup thoroughly it smooths skin's surface. At times I use it to clean my face and neck before applying makeup which gives good lasting, helps matte finish and prevents oiliness on t-zone. This is my second purchase of the cleanser and it's becoming a regular in my skincare closet. The seaweed line is a great buy for summer season.

After cleanser I use the nutriganics refreshing toner (The Body Shop) this by far has not given any buzz worthy results. It's just an okay product at least for my skin. Mostly I just use it in the morning and not on whole face only on t-zone, that's where I noticed my open pores as well. After I finish this, I'm definitely buying the seaweed toner.

I also purchased the nutriganics smoothing day cream (The Body Shop) which again is a very light moisturizer. After an hour or so even the oily parts of my skin feel dry and I need to go for another coat. I will not be buying it again and look towards other moisturizers at The Body Shop. The day cream says it 'revitalises and reduces the apperaence of lines and wrinkles' 'first signs of ageing', I cannot put any word on that as I haven't seen any change. Moreover its more expensive than other great face moisturisers at The Body Shop.

Applying esstential oils like olive oil and almond oil before sleeping has helped my skin a great deal as well. My skin feels hydrated and experiences less breakouts. Beware of not going out in the sun or expose your skin to heat after applying olive oil as it can tan skin (unless you want to).

The seaweed collection is great for the summer months, especially for countries where climate is humid.

It gives smooth matte finish. I have already bought the seaweed mattifying day cream and cant wait to write about it!

Real Techniques brushes

Hello,

I just got my first Real Techniques brushes and WOW what a beauty!

I decided to get the Expert Face brush and and the Blush brush.

I would definitely give a detailed post later as I have just started using them, however they are highly dense and easy to use. I have used these about 2-3 times and the results are good.

The blush brush picks up good amount of powder and softly glides on skin. 

Comment let me know if you have used any other brushes that are good from the line?

Pink PoP

Hello,

The color 902 from Maybelline Colorsensational line is such a beauty. Not only will this be a hit for your Valentines (depends on how you dress though)  it will do good work throughout the year.

The color goes great with nude blush/neutral outfits as well as dark color clothing.

Its important to note I do not have very fair skin and the color might look  a slightly more purple than pink. But it comes out a pretty vivid pink if you apply light foundation on lips and then start with the lips.

Hello,

I have gathered a few makeup looks perfect for Valentines. So if you want classic, edgy, pink and simple you can easily see here!

LOOK 1:
Kim Kardashian look
False lashes must
Thick/heavy mascara
Neutral/matt colors e.g, browns, taupe. 

Kim Kardashian 

LOOK 2:

Classic winged liner

Sure to be a hit any time, any where! 

If your not so much of the false lash person,skip and emphasize on the liner.

A medium brown under the socket gives great depth

A medium pink/rosy shade sure to be in any one's makeup bag will do!

LOOK 3

Edgy and neutral

Colored eye liner underneath the eye is all the rage!

Easiest and the bright color totally brings out the eye whatever you eye color.

Bright green, teal or even a champagne neutral color will do the trick.

Concealing under the eye should be well done.

If you have very dark under eye circles then better refrain 

Nude lipsticks looks gorgeous   

Jessica Biel

LOOK 4:

Bright and Beautiful

Simple on the eyes and brighten the lips

Orangish red is a trend to stay for the season

Brows should be well defined with darker lips

Contouring should not be forgotten

Lily Donaldson

LOOK 5:

Berry bites

Berry/Mauve lips are a classic for winter seasons 

Easily emphasize your eyes and lips like Sandra Bullock

C'mon baby twist Twist!

Hello,

If you don't want to spend or go through the hassle of getting nail art done or can't do it yourself just try this simple fun technique.

I just got my french tips done and added a thick layer of glitter nail lacquer on one of my nails. This is good way to give a twist to a simple manicure and can be done easily at home.

Disco Disco

I used the Essence Special Effect Topper in Disco Disco. Great quality and price. Not only this but there range is fabulous Circus Confetti, Glitter on Me and many more are amazing glitters.
