NOTD 1

Hello Pallies,
Sorry for being MIA for a while. We are busy apartment hunting and in between that and me being lazy I kinda missed out on this- even though I had promised myself that I’ll do a post every other day *slap slap*
Anywho, today Im going to do a NOTD just to get back in the groove

Scene: Target- we are shopping for basic stuff when I ogle at a beautiful scarf and waste some more time trying out shoes I had no intention to buy (Doesnt that happen everytime we go to a mall? LOL)
So, I happen to see these 2 nail paints in very alluring shades of green. And me and Hubby as usual started to have a good “discussion” on it and in the end we got the scarf and both the nail paints…. :P:P:P

And this is one of them- Since I cook I dont do nail art unless there’s some special event

This is a normal brand called SINFUL COLORS PROFESSIONAL and they have lovely colors

The name of the shade is : 804 GORGEOUS- just like my friends

And this is what it looks after 1 coat:

And after 2 coats:

Oh- and I cooked lovely Shrimp-Masala and with all the cutting and all it still didn’t chip in a day as my other nail paints do- so Im loving this a lot

Hope you all liked it until next time Ta-Ta

Love,
Bee

Black-Gray Smokey eye Version2.

Heyy Ladies!!! Hope you all are grt and yayyy its friday 2moro… My fav day of the week!!! but this weekend is going to be super busy for us as we are apartment hunting and have a few appointments lined up for those… so Im planning to do all the Masti tomorrow.. hehehe

I know the summers are here in full force. next week its supposed to go 90 degrees F

but suddenly yesterday the skies decided to rain cats and dogs… I didnt miss a chance to click a pic becoz honestly looking at this I was a little scared

And since anything and everything can be Inspiring- I thought I should try dark smokey eyes especially black-gray as one of my blogger friends KOMAL has her party and would like to try it… So this post decicated to you sweety

btw- please ignore my freaky eyebrows… Didnt realize they look so bad.. hehehe

I did 2 versions of this look: the 1st version you can find here: http://makeupandbeauty.com/grey-black-smokey-eye-makeup-tutorial/

The colors from the palette that Ive applied are:

11 1024x682 Black Gray Smokey eye Version2.

So lets get started

Step1: Apply white eye pencil on the inner half and black eye pencil on the outer half of your lids.

Step 2: Smudge it with your finger or a brush.

Step 3: Apply a black eyeshadow over it. It can be shimmery or matte black.(Shade 1 from the kit) btw- in this look there can be a lot of fall-outs so you can either do the rest of your face after the eyes or apply a layer of face powder and then wipe off at the end.

did you notice the inner corner is looking Gray-ish and shiny? and the outer corner dark! just pat the color with a flat shader brush.

Step 4: Now take a soft brown colour (2 shades darker than your skin tone) – shade 3 from the kit. and just apply all over the crease in widshield wiper motion. since we have applied dark lid color we dont want dark shades on the crease.

Step 5: Apply a light highlighting shade (number 4 from the kit) to the brow-bone. Occassionally you can also bring it all the way to the inner corner of the eye.
