After dark eyes, these days I’m into bright lips… and when I saw this range I was so Impressed that I picked up 3 immediately (I never pick up more than 1 piece from a collection.. ever!)
I   extensively  reviewed VINTAGE ROSE  from this range (HERE blank Colorbar True Gloss in Pink Stain review,swatches. a while back and this is another gem from that range…

I know.. I know… this is borderline neon pink. But I assure you… once it sets in a stain like form, it lasts and lasts. and I drink and eat and yak and kiss and it just doesn’t go.
I got it coz every gal needs a good creamy pink in her collection .LOL…
It retails for about Rs 495 all across India and I’d urge everyone to try at least one gloss from this collection. It’s more of a liquid lipstick-stain than a gloss. It dries matte and stays matte.

Very very ideal when you are on a day long trip and stuff when you have to take impromptu pics and don’t have time to retouch! (I know this better coz my face looks totally washed out & corpsy in pics when I have no color).

Tuesday Tute : How to apply a winged liner.

Happy new week gals…. when the weather plays havoc and one feels a bit headachy sick…. one starts painting their face (if one is delusional like me…. ting!)

So presenting steps to apply a winged liner using a gel eyeliner. I’ve used a thing brush here so any kind of liner can be used : gels, liquids, pencils, cakes etc

1) Starting from the middle and in short strokes, apply the liner all across the lid. like so-

2) Taking the brush, apply a line extending from the end of your lower lash line. Try and join the dots gaps left. Draw the wing edge as high as you want. Or as tiny

3) From the highest point, join the edge taking it down to the lid. Once you form the wing, smoothen whatever edges look rough and jagged.  If you are not happy with your wing, Cheat and shape it using a Q-tip doused in makeup remover.

The Right Time to Use a Hair Removal Laser before a Summer Holiday!

The Right Time to Use a Hair Removal Laser before a Summer Holiday!

hair11 The Right Time to Use a Hair Removal Laser before a Summer Holiday!

Summer is coming and for many of us, that means a summer holiday. For women, that means bikinis, skimpy outfits and summer sun, but it also means finding the right hair removal methods to keep your skin looking good for the duration of the trip. Razors can cause bumps and irritation, epilators can cause ingrown hairs and hair removal creams can be messy, none of which look good in the summer sun. If you want to be hair free and keep your skin looking good for your summer holiday, you need a permanent hair removal device to remove your hair before the vacation.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal :Laser hair removal offers a couple of benefits including that it is cost effective over time. Most women spend thousands in razors, hair removal creams, epilators, and lotions for hair removal. A permanent hair removal device is a one-time purchase that does not require upgrades, lotions, or razor blade purchases. This alone will eventually result in being cost effective over the course of a few years. If you’re unsure, try adding up the cost of disposable razors and lotions that you purchase over the period of a single year and comparing it to the one-time purchase price of a hair removal laser. Other benefits include the following:

  • No Razor Burn
  • Less Maintenance
  • No Ingrown Hairs
  • No Bumps
  • No Rash
  • No itchiness
  • Long Lasting Results.
    hair21 The Right Time to Use a Hair Removal Laser before a Summer Holiday!

When to Start Your Hair Removal Treatment :If you have decided to take the plunge and go for a permanent hair removal device, you should consider starting at least 6 weeks in advance of your vacation. The Tria Beauty hair removal device which is the only FDA approved home hair removal laser, takes 6 weeks to offer results, but longer term use might be necessary to remain completely hair free. Usually the sooner you start your treatments the better it works because hair grows in cycles and can continue growing out through different hair follicles. For example, if you plan on vacationing at the end of June, you would want to purchase the hair removal device by a minimum of early May in order to have the results you want. Purchasing sooner will only help you to have better results when you get on your plane or boat to enjoy the sun.

tria4 The Right Time to Use a Hair Removal Laser before a Summer Holiday!

How it Works : Laser hair removal works by retarding hair growth in individual hair follicles. It is not a topical hair remover and you will still have to shave before applying the treatment. The laser gently penetrates the skin follicle to destroy the pigment in the hair root so that the hair falls out on its own and does not grow back. Because hair grows in cycles that are different for each person, most women will have to repeat treatments every two weeks to keep up results. Most laser hair treatments can be used on the face, neck, hands, arms, legs, and bikini line which means that you can be hair free anywhere you like without shaving, waxing, or using any other painful hair removal method.

tria5 The Right Time to Use a Hair Removal Laser before a Summer Holiday!

From there, you’re on your way to beautiful, hair free skin minus rash, razor burn, and maintenance. In fact, if you use your permanent hair removal device before getting on the plane, you can most likely skip hair removal during your vacation altogether. If you’re in the first few weeks of using the device, you might still want to bring along a razor just in case. However, starting well in advance of your vacation and using your device regularly as directed will definitely give you the results you want before you leave for your summer holiday.

Review: Urban Decay – 24/7 Glide-On Eye Shadow Pencil in Delinquent.

Review: Urban Decay – 24/7 Glide-On Eye Shadow Pencil in Delinquent.

If you know me…. you know the most important part of my makeup stash or makeup routine is the eyeliner. specially when it’s colored.  I like it because with colored liners I really don’t have to make an effort with the eyes but they still look special!  Also, most times I get a call like “meet me down in 15mins I just left office – we’re going to the movies/bowling/park” sO I literally have rush, and in those times, products like this really come in handy!
IMG 6581 610x287 Review: Urban Decay   24/7 Glide On Eye Shadow Pencil in Delinquent. URBAN DECAY says :Big and blendable, this 2-in-1 waterproof 24/7 shadow pencil keeps going as long as you do. Our next generation of famous 24/7 pencils can be used as eyeshadow, eyeliner, or both!

Availability: It is available in Sephora and on the  UD site in a pack, but I got it from ebay for $6
IMG 6582 610x316 Review: Urban Decay   24/7 Glide On Eye Shadow Pencil in Delinquent. Delinquent is a brighter than average plummy purple with some beautiful pink flecks of glitter running through it. The glitter is really fine and non gritty.
IMG 6561 610x394 Review: Urban Decay   24/7 Glide On Eye Shadow Pencil in Delinquent.
My experience : Purple being a universally flattering shade is one of my favs. In fact, my last makeup post was purple too.   Like I said, these days I’m into effortless makeup and getting ready fast so anything that’s colored, long lasting and oily-lid-friendly is definitely on my radar.   Looks wise,this is mini sized,having a very decent 2.5g of product. But they all are mineral oil, paraffin and paraben free so yayyy. no meltdowns!! I tried it 1st while going to a dinner with friends and while it lasted great on the upper lid, it kinda smudged on the lower lashline. So I’d say, its not entirely water resistant.
It glides along smoothly and I didn’t feel the glitter while applying. also, once it sets, it sets. It did not budge nor did the glitter travel along my face!

- Too much product wastage while sharpening.
- Some of the reviewers had a bad reaction to the glitter. I’m not sure if all pencils from this range have glitter!

Verdict : UD is still out of my budget but I liked the performance of this pencil.  I would definitely say that they are a notch above the NYX jumbo pencils. but then NYX comes at a fraction of UD’s price so……..
