Playing Around some new and old stuff!

Okay..so I was trying this look by Bobbi Brown that I saw the other day on their facebook promo..
(she gives out awesome new try-ons!)




And.. I recently got a new eye-liner after a really long time! - so I decided to play around abit and though of trying this look.
Now, my eyes aren't exactly that flat...they are actually curvy..so I ended up giving it a twist up!
But anyways..I loved it a lot :)
Something new to the eye..
And..I added shimmer to my eyes..(who what when where...scroll down to see what I used!)







So..this is how I looked!



And just to see the shimmer, I'm tilting my head! hee hee..


Face: Mix of Estee lauder (double wear light)
& MAC mineralize foundation
(trying to mix 2 foundations to get a better color)
Bronzer: Bronze Booster (medium2light)
Blush: MAC Sheertone (NEW)
(this is like a mix of coral and pink; I had gone to buy coral & ended up buying this..much better I tell you!!)

Eyes: MAC Paintpot - groundwork (NEW)
(Yay! Finally got the paintpot, this is the base color for us Indians; next will be coral, another rare one!)
MAC pigment frozenwhite (NEW)
Eyeliner: Lakme (NEW)

Routine regime - part1

hey girls...my skin is finally without any pimple & acne attack...phew! I do not know why..but my skin was breaking out a lot this summer! But now..happy news is...all that is gone and its back to its original glowing self!

Since I'm also practically work-less for now (not jobless)..I have a lot of time in hand to carry out all the fitness-shopping-skincare-etc activities.

I thought of sharing some really good things I discovered over these months. These are some things which working ppl can also accomodate, and I'm sure the results will be as good!
:)

First of all...I joined dance classes (hiphop, jazz, bollywood, salsa, belly dancing - a mix of all this)..but then I felt that it wasn't worth the effort..though it was very enjoyable. But the crammed space got to me.
Somehow I managed to explore the youtube to find some fitness routine videos, and found this..

Belly dance workout

Its a Belly Dance workout!!
Can you believe it...there are workouts, in the form of a dance...so you would not only enjoy doing it...but sweat out and be in shape!!!!
Nice na...

-------------------

Now, my tomato scrub tip got really popular..but you can use lemon too, instead of the tomato, with sugar once a week...to get great results!
And yes using sunscreen everyday is a must!! Blemishes are becoming a major problem, when the temperature easilygoes upto 45 degree Celsius (but anyways its a 365 day regime summer/winter)

Happy Caring!!
:)

Weekend Explorations...



On my Eyes: Revlon creme shadow from Va Va Va Bloom palette (sadly the colors are not mentioned, but its the left-most one in the pic below)



My Review : I bought this palette as it has mixed shades which are everyday wearable as well as party timers. 
The creme does not have a very long lasting staying power (I've not worn other creme shadows before), and may require touch-ups. I wore in alone, without any base or anything on top of it, to test its lasting power. 



This is how it looks like after 3-4 hrs..

The quantity is good enough to last for a long time. I will definitely explore other options.

My other purchases includes purses..


 Its in the shape of a SeaShell in Dark Grey.



It can very well be used as a clutch and the long chain is just adorable. Fashion keeps coming back..
And this is another one for regular use..



A popular design from Nine West




What was your latest buy(s) ??

Shopping day for me...up for grabs..

  1. MAC paint pot (bare study and/or painterly) - "first time buy"
I generally apply powder on my greasy eyelids before application of an eyeshadow. But I've heard a lot about the paint pot and have to try it now..it can be used barely or as a base, depends on what look you are opting for.



Look like this.. when swatched..




These are not the only 4 colors..but I love all of these..
I've always wanted a slight pinkish tone, which would compliment my dark brown eyes.
I feel this is a must in your makeup collection.

I go without makeup almost always..my skin doesn't have any big flaws to hide, nor do I feel the need to wear them.
But eye makeup, which starts out as "kajal" in a girl's life, tends to hold a special place.
Ofcourse..I'm exploring diferent made-up forms...

A new mantra..going natural is not the only way, sometimes you should look made up as well....feels exciting!!

    2. New flats/sandals.....whatever!
To be honest, I'm too bored with flats...its been decades since I wore anything else. But anyways..I'm not keeping that option closed either. This time it'll be shopping these for my wedding, ofcourse! haha..


Another mantra.. golden, silver and bronze (and black too), goes with nearly everything. BUT..again "I" am bored with these colors...I want COLORS!!!!!
Phew!
Did you know...there's a site which is actually called "heels.com"
haha..that shudnt be such a surprise..anyways...even if you type heels on google images...you'll see hideous things!!!

oh gawd!!



its as if I stepped down on something! :P




And then there are things...


Ofcourse more sensible things like...


Good option hmm..
Hmmmmmm...

That is all for now I guess..lets keep it minimal at a time..yeah! Anyways..I wanna enjoy it...not labor it!


Love,

Innocent Fashion!!

I love kids clothing..so vibrant with different colors, which we would normally not even think of wearing, such different styles and designs (although now days even the designs are inspired by adult clothing) but yet, I'm very very fond of kid's clothings!!
But, I had never thought that I would find a model so close ;)



She's not only mod, she's an individualist! Chooses her own clothes, has a thought process which is very very difficult to alter..and an attitude which can give us elders a shock to our ego!

Check out "her" sense of fashion...there's lots to learn!!!



Do you see her mix of colors..she loves that "pink" band of hers...
Her wardrobe has pink in excess...and she wears something pink EVERYDAY!!

And she's wayyyyyyy too naughty... you dont believe me??


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
Naughty grin/smile/laugh!!!

Love you bachha...shona...
:D





P.S. All the above poses are her own!!
