EOTD-Marine Blue

While I've been crazily experimenting with eye makeup, this time I gave some blues a try with a dash of champagne. Enjoy!

5 Most Common Makeup Mistakes

Makeup is an art one may take years to learn and then master. As newbies, we all make several mistakes and only practice is what will help get a hold of it. I've listed the 5 most common ones I could think of.

Catrice Cosmetics Ever Last Eye Liner 040 Forest Green- Review, Photos, Swatch

Result: The Catrice Ever Last Eye Liner pencil looks very much like the Urban Decay and Sleek pencils. I spotted this one on Emporium Cosmetics website. As for the packaging, it looks very professional and I like how they've used a green and dull gold combo.

As for the pencil itself, the application is kind of a disappointment. When I used it on my waterline, it left next to no color but when I swatched it on my hand, I could see color. It is soft but not buttery or smooth enough to show expected results. When I used on on my lower lash line it showed off. So, basically, this is no kajal/kohl material. One can strictly use it to line the eyes. The good point is, that it is water and smudge proof and does not bleed off at all. It takes a bit of rubbing to get it off.  Smells like nothing, completely fragrance free and lasts for a few hours.

I love the color as this kind of green suits all types of skin tones. Wear it with a bronzed look and it'll really brighten up the eyes. The pencil is almost 5 inches in length and since it doesn't rub off much, you're not going to run out of it very soon.

Rating: 3.5/5

Price: Rs 200

Available at: You'll find it online at Emporium Cosmetics. I don't think this pencil is available locally.

Official Website: Catrice Europe

Conclusion: I would've liked it more, if it were soft enough to use as an eye shadow base. But I guess, it's Ok as far as it does the job it is meant to do. Recommended? Yes.

Makeup Haul-Bourjois and Catrice

I went back to Emporium Cosmetics website and bought a bunch of the above goodies as their sale was coming to an end. I got:

Forest Green Smokey Eye Look

I love green on my eyes. I kinda think it makes them look bigger. Last night, I dug into my makeup and played along with whatever green I could find and came up with this look.

My Lip Gloss Collection

I love Lip Glosses. If I spot a shade that seems nice, I instantly grab it. I love nudes as they compliment my skin really well. Here my little list...

Bourjois Paris Effect 3D Lip Gloss-Review, Photos, Swatches

Result: Whenever I'm out to test a new brand, the first product I usually grab is the lip gloss. Same case here. For Bourjois I tried out the Effect 3D Shine Lip gloss. First of all, the packaging is pretty impressive. The product rests in an acrylic tube with a matte gold top, which twists open and close pretty easily.

Wardrobe Update...J. Collection

Went to Junaid Jamshed's at Dolmen Mall and was surprised to see lots of new tops and dresses. You can't imagine how relieved I was, as I feared they'd only have winter stuff and nothing very casual. So, I ended up buying four of their master pieces.

Makeup Haul-Calvin Klein, Bourjois, Catrice...

Got all this from Emporium Cosmetics. This site is fairly new and is currently offering 30% off all its products, before November 15, 2012.

Glamorous Face Speed Dry Nail Enamel No 15-Review, Photos, Swatches and a Surprise!

Result: I've been using a lot of stuff from Glamorous Face Cosmetics lately. Top reason being the local super mart comes up with something from the company every now and then. This time the nail enamels caught my attention.

Makeup Storage Ideas

I've been very clumsy when it comes to makeup storage. There were times when I just couldn't find what I wanted, when I needed it. And to get rid of this mess, I collected a few pieces from my room and began to use them for makeup storage. And to be honest, I'm quite relieved after that. Read on to find out more...
