LOTD: Easy Glossy Glamorous Makeup Look

As we wave the Winter season goodbye, I just wanted to take this opportunity to do a glam and glossy makeup look as an ode to the colder season. Very soon you'd be seeing mattes, pastels and other such summery trends on the blog and this probably is the last fall makeup look that I will be doing this season...

I am personally a huge fan of glossy makeup with a lot of highlighter and non-matte foundations. It could be because I have dry skin or could be because glossy, glory skin is synonymous with youth and supple skin ;)
This look that I have created uses very minimal and easy to get your hands-on products.

The Makeup Look

Makeup Breakdown
1. The first step in achieving a glossy makeup look is to use a non-matte finish foundation. I have used a BB cream that is well suited for dry skin and gives a glory finish.
2. Next I used a highlighter on the bridge of my nose and on my cheekbones.
3. I applied an Orange-Red blush on my cheeks for a flushed look.
4. I applied kajal and liner on my eyes and finished the ye makeup with some mascara.
5. Finally, I used a glossy pink lip color to finish my look.

Makeup Products Used:
1. The Body Shop Vitamin E BB Cream
2. Bobbi Brown Highlighter Brick in Bronze
3. Maybelline Eyebrow Pencil
4. Lakme Eyeconic Kajal in Black
5. Benefit Cosmetics They're Real Push-up Eyeliner
6. Maybelline Colossal Mascara
7. Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Volume Flash Mascara
8. NARS Blush in Exhibit A
9. L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Liquid Lipstick in Rouge Allegro

I hope you guys like my look. Feedback is welcome as usual...

REVIEW: Johnson's Baby Lotion on Adult Skin

I am itching to do some makeup EOTDs and LOTDs since a while now but with guests at home I am not getting any time... So for a while you guys are stuck with me doing reviews. Not that my reviews do not need much efforts but as compared to EOTDs and LOTDs, reviews are a little bit less demanding where time constraints are concerned... Don't you agree? :)

Today I shall be reviewing the Johnson's baby lotion and before you raise your eye brows and say to yourself "WTF" let me make it absolutely clear that I bought it when I was out of a moisturiser and needed one pronto! This was the only one available and so I just bought it. I figured if it was good for babies, how could it be bad for me? The truth? Read on ;)

Johnson's Baby Lotion is Clinically proven to be mild and mild it sure is. It has a soft and soothing fragrance, which I love. Once applied it gets absorbed really fast and does not leave a residual oiliness or greasiness. It would be perfect for normal ski…

Makeup Class: Difference Between A Bronzer, A Highlighter, An Illuminator & A Brightener

Bronzer Vs Highlighter Vs Illuminator Vs Brightener

Very often than not being a beauty blogger I come across the terms Bronzer, Highlighter, Brightener and Illuminator at least a dozen times a day. These terms are everywhere and people use them in their daily conversation with so much confidence that you'd be surprised at how wrong many of them are in their usages. Oh! Yes even I have made mistakes in the past about their connotations and today armed with research, experiments and well just plain analysis I have reached a consensus where I can now confidently put forth the results of my hard work...

Yes, today ladies and gentlemen, I shall be clearing all the confusion that prevails behind Bronzers, Highlighters, Illuminators and Brighteners!

Review of L'Oreal Paris Infallible Blush Paint Longwear High Impact Stick - Fuchsia Fame
Right now am sitting at the dining table trying to figure out a way to start this post in an "interesting" way... I am obviously struggling... There are these times when your mind just goes blank and you can't think of anything, right? Yeah, I am having one of those moments...

So, I guess I'll directly dive into the review and not mull around. I bought the L'Oreal Paris Infallible Blush Paint Stick on a whim... I was out window shopping at Shoppers Stop and I just happened to glance at the L'Oreal counter and this cute little stub caught my fancy... The moment I swatched it I knew I had to buy it...

Price of L'Oreal Paris Infallible Blush Paint Stick It costs a whopping INR 999/-

There is nothing much to talk about the packaging. It is exactly what it looks like, a rotating chubby stick with a cap. The plastic doesn't seem cheap and is pretty sturdy. I have d…
