The making of my "Makeup Palette"

In technical words... a palette is a palette..haha..just kidding! Its a mix/variety of things put together under one roof..haha...(wats up with me!!)

Okay, getting to the fun business..I've created a palette which consists of eye-shadows (matt,shimmer, powder based and cream based), blushes and lipsticks.

If you've read my former blogs, I usually have "hidden" treasures, which come out from time to time!!
So..I found this palette which I had..but never explored!

To save space, I took out the pieces from the plastic base and put them all together side by side. Since the box has quiet a depth, I could easily put other items in the same and customise it for easy use later.
Which also makes me realise that I wouldn't have to buy more..haha

Aaaaahhhh...Space, money and time..everything saved!!!
:D
Huge smiles..

Looks lovely too :)





As if its screaming... UsE Me! UsE Me!

The above is my MAC palette, and below is the newly adjusted-for-space palette. Now, I don't need to fill any empty spaces in the MAC one till I use up all of the above...which ofcourse will be after a really long time (considering I don't put on makeup very often!), hopefully.

It has many beautiful colors in there...even the coral one..which has become the color of Fall season.

Aww..I'm soooooooooo happy!!!! Can't wait to play around with em!!


So...what have you discovered today?
Any favourite color?

A small Lush haul!

Lush is a company that manufactures and markets hand-made, I repeat, HAND MADE bath products - which not only includes yummy soaps (they smell so nice you literally wanna eat them!) but also stuff like scrubs, moisturisers, bath and shower products, etc, etc, etc.

you can visit their site here to know more..

Lush India

So, recently a friend of mine posted about these products on her website. I knew about them but what I did not know was, they existed in India. I mean I never tried finding out either..you know!
But since I got to know..I had to explore and try some products to see what the craze is all about!!
The first thing is..I have NEVER heard of "hand-made" soaps..and the second..they look so cuteeeee..and the third best thing is...they smell like puddings and cakes and...ahhhh!! I'm lost in their world..
hahaha..

Now..this is what I ordered:
Porridge soap, sultana of soaps and Noubar soap (from L-R)




My order arrived today itself..I was so excited to open it and see the things for the first time!!
Since I'm trying them for the first time, I ordered only 100gm each.
 But they smell awesome...
:)



Porridge soap: Start the day the Goldilocks way with a helping or three of porridge oats. Ideal for sensitive skin; irresistible to everyone else. Oats are soothing for the skin, while orange juice is refreshing. Rise and shine with some delicious porridge.

Sultana of Soap: The creamy fruity one. Can we help it if our soap looks like a big cake of tasty Italian nougat? Well, I suppose we can. If we make it soft and creamy, fill it full of chopped apricots and currants and scent it with spicy olibanum, it's hardly surprising that it looks tempting enough to take a lick. You know better than that, though, don't you? Smooth a slice of our fruit encrusted, creamy dessert of a soap all over your body and enjoy smelling like a sweet shop.


Noubar Soap: Inspired by nougat, this soap is a deliciously fragrant and thoroughly cleansing. We've added smoky vetivert oil and Turkish rose absolute to keep you sweet every time you wash. Chopped peanuts, walnuts and almonds add texture and exfoliate the skin. You'd be nuts to miss out on Noubar.




Don't get it wrong..they actually use organic and sometimes even preservative free things in there..the sultana soap seemed like it will melt in my hands!!
Haha..

Now, I'm not sure how long they will last..but I definitely had to...had to...try these gorgeous goodies!!!
I may repurchase for my wedding :P
