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....!!!

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) ??

What's IN "nude"...

Its everywhere...nude colors have casted a shadow this year, even though turquoise was forecasted the color of the year by Pantone (Pantone Inc., World's color authority since 45 years), nudes are ruling the closets!!

This is what fashion & beauty are all about...discovery!

It always happens to me that whatever stuff I have or own (gifted or bought), comes to use some or the other time & fits in so perfectly that its shocking!!

Oh yeah...I had this color since so many years, and lo! all of a sudden its become a hidden treasure. Yes, thats the right word - "Hidden Treasures"

I have lots of them, which I do not like at the moment, but in some future time, they will fit piece by piece in my life, as if they were meant to be!

I'm not exaggerating...its so true.

Now..have a look..

The company is Lumene, and I have two shades, maybe of the same clan (505 and 504). The one I'm wearing is 505 (left in the pic below) - 8ml, 0.28 FL.OZ.

Its a nude, lightly peachy with silvery shimmer which is so fine that it doesn't look like shimmer or sparkle. True to its shade in the bottle..

See...how that shines!

:)

And yet...its very very skin color like..

This is night time pic, while the ones above are day times..the polish changes color by day & night!! - Nice!

This is the color after two coats and the color remains the same. I compared this by putting two coats on my left hand and one only on my right. They look the same.

Even after all these years, the polish is still very new in condition, it was so smooth and soft to apply! On one hand, I thought the consistency to be light/thin, while on the other its staying quality (non-chipping thing) is great!

Now, another thing to ponder on, I'm not sure if "Lumene" as a brand is available in India, but I'm sure there are other nudes out there which you guys can explore! Also, whether these shades are still available with Lumene I do not know..

You can check out about Lumene here!

Love,

Tip: Never wear a nail polish for more than 3days, bad for your nails, give them some air to breathe!!

Do you own anything in "nude color"?!!

Sorry for the pics, tried my best to take better ones, these have been clicked by a phone camera..
