LOTD: Marking The Beginning of The Festive Season in India 


Come August/September and the one thing that everyone at work starts discussing are leave plans... Some very common questions that are passed around are "How many days of leave do you plan to take for Diwali?", "Are you planning on going somewhere during the Dussehra break?", "Any plans for Navratri?", "Aren't you going home to Kolkata for Durga Puja?" and the most common is "When is the traditional day planned for this year?"...





Yup, come August/September and the festive season in India commences... Ganesh Chaturthi, Durga Puja, Navratri, Dussehra, Diwali, the "madness" goes on till bhaiya duj and then it's almost the end of the year :)
What I find to be the most exciting thing about this part of the year is the meticulous planning that goes into zeroing onto the outfits, accessories and the makeup that I plan on donning for each of these special holidays... The bonus being that this quarter of the year also sees numerous wedding tithis and karwachauth... More reasons to deck up and prance around in traditional, festive gear :)

Since these festivals and occasions come one after another, quite often than not one ends up reaching out for the same makeup products resulting in looks that are repetitive and monotonous... This happens with me very often and hence I have decided to journal different kinds of Indian Festive Makeup Looks that you all and I can refer to when we are actually getting ready for an occasion and are in a makeup rut of sorts :)







Makeup Breakup

1. The key to this look is the contrasting bindi... The idea behind this look was to have a shock factor by wearing a shade of bindi that would not match but complement my lipstick and my outfit. My outfit is peach while my lips is in a bright shade of Magenta and hence I went for a turquoise blue bindi.
I took inspiration for this look from the "Kala Chashma" makeup that was done on Katrina Kaif where we wore a bright green coloured bindi with a red outfit...

2. I have kept the base makeup flawless and have contoured my face a little in order to give it more dimension.

3. The eyes are simple and shimmery while care has been taken to have the brows look prominent and "made up"...

REVIEW: Johnson's Baby Lotion on Adult Skin

By
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

Changes in my Skincare and Fitness Perspective Post 30

Changes in my Skincare and Fitness Perspective Post 30 #Adulting One early morning while I was sipping an exceptionally strong cup of coffee and introspecting I identified a few lifestyle changes that I had incorporated in the past year or so. On further retrospection I realised that these changes were a part of what I perceived would be good for me in the long run... When did I start thinking about my health in the future? When did I start worrying about how my skin would be 10 years down the line? OMG was I #Adulting? Is this even the correct usage of the latest hashtag?

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

By
  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!
