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?

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)

 (liquid)

Lips: MAC slimshine BARE (NEW)

(thankGod I bought this..I got the "last" piece)

And I have to mention, I got a my first MAC eye-brush 213!!!! - amazing & even beyond....!!!

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,
