THE BEAUTY hotlist - Makeup Bites : Get your makeup right.
December 03, 20140 Comments
The BeautyHollist : Makeup bites( Bling sparkle)
Have you ever looked at someone at a wedding and gaped at them starting from their shoes and then when you come to their face you wrinkle your nose in dis appreciation? No, I am not being racist but what I am talking here is about the inappropriate makeup ! So many beautiful dresses so little beauty.
I have often seen women who are beautiful wear beautiful dresses still end up looking gross on occasions.
Here are a few makeup tips to keep in mind while keeping the shade of the dress color you are going to wear.
Makeup should be matched appropriately with your attire or else even after so many efforts you’ll end up looking dull , jarred, out of place or like even end up smiling like a Christmas tree.
Here are five things to be kept in mind while doing your makeup so you can get the Makeup that makes you glow!
1. Occasion : It is important your makeup must be appropriate and done according to the occasion. You cannot wearing bold lip color to a temple or a your kids parent teacher meeting, neither can you opt for a soft makedo while attending a wedding. One must know what works for them and what NOT to wear . Smokey eyes would look out of the place if worn on a spring date. Always remember to dress according to the occasion !
2. Audience : This must always be considered, it its for a family function its best you opt for soft lip colors (Or is it just me) For a party you can experiment, for festivity play safe and make sure you are
3. Outfit : If the outfit you are donning is heavy, embellished or f a bold color , opt for soft makeup or just emphasize on feature on your face. Don’t do bold lip color along with heavy eye makeup. trust me it does not work for all.
4. Jewelry : If you are wearing jewelery then cut down on the makeup. Too much  jewelery when paired with a lot of makeup clashes and makes you look like you are trying too hard!
5. Knowledge : Yes. Its very important you know which lip color to pair with the right dress. Know the makeup trends. Don’t be afraid to try something new. And when you wear something wear with confidence.
Along with all of these it is also important that you wear makeup in which you feel comfortable. Don’t opt for a bold lip and then resent it when you reach the venue because you think it makes look harsh or you are scared about people’s opinions. If you think you look lovely, just go for it , if you aren’t comfortable then drop it. Its best to wear makeup that you are happy with. Makeup that is heavy or you are not sure of should always be avoided.
Here are a few pictures where celebs got a ten on ten on their makeup when it came to their outfits.

Beauty Blunders (Makeup mistakes) – Part I
November 27, 20140 Comments






We know that bad makeup (occasionally) happens to the best of us. Makeup is something women buy so they can make the whole thing flawless but when when they end up committing mistakes it can actually hide their natural beauty. Which is so not cool.

I'm sure you know (or at least think you know) what you're doing in terms of beauty tips and tricks. But you'd be surprised to find out that some of things you're doing might be causing more harm than good. You might be damaging your hair, causing split-ends, causing frizz and dryness without even knowing it! Here are some mistakes that you might be doing to beautify yourself:

Well there plenty of mistakes we might end up making and I’ll be posting hopefully most of them in the next few blogposts .

When it comes to looking after your hair and beauty, you might know what to do and what to use, but do you know what not to do? Here are some of the beauty blunders you may inadvertently be making.

Sleeping with makeup on:
You might have just returned from a party all tired and exhausted or back from work late night but hey there are no excuses for going to bed with your makeup on! This is by far the biggest mistake most women tend to make ! If you want to keep your face healthy and beautiful, make sure to wash off that makeup before you go to sleep. Not doing so can make your skin breakout, prone to allergies , dry and acne & pimples.Well it’s the reason you have makeup wipes out there! Or you could go the Johnson and Johnson's baby oil route followed with facewash. Just a few minutes spent cleaning your face could save you from some big problems down the road. Always remember, though, that practice makes perfect, and a great look requires work and attention to detail.

Too much blush:
Excessive use of blush might end up making you look like a clown. No really ! Avoid dabbing blusher on the apples of the cheekbones, unless you want to look flushed or hot *wink*. Instead pick a simple, neutral hued blush and using a large blusher brush, sweep it across the highest point of the cheekbones for an instant facelift. Trust me blushes should complement your natural blush tone !

Choosing the Wrong Foundation Color :
A wrong foundation color results in a creating a disaster. This is also the most commonly made mistake by most of the Indian women. They try harsher and whiter foundation even though their skin tone is dusky making them look cakey or aged. hence its important you avoid selecting the wrong foundation and concealer shade. Always pick a color that will match the skin tone, anything darker looks fake and anything lighter will leave you looking washed out and ghostly. Pick the SAME shade as your skin tone. I repeat always go for the exact skin shade.
You might have beautiful skin and the right application technique but that may not fetch you the look of a Greek goddess if you use the wrong foundation.

Using Makeup that's Not Age-Appropriate : A very common mistake most younger women tend to make is to apply makeup in a way that's not age-appropriate. For example, makeup with glitter isn't suitable for older women. Similarly, girls in their teens should avoid smearing on too much makeup because it can make them look much older.

Drawing attention to every part of the face:
Not being aware of the right makeup tricks might get you to over emphasizing features of your face. Most of the women strive for the look of smoky eyes, full pouting lips or chiseled cheekbones, but these looks should never be incorporated all at the same time. Choose one look to emphasize your best feature and use it to play up your beauty in a classic and defining way that will set you apart from the crowd, but won’t end up making you look out f the place.
Also this is something I found on pinterest and could not resist sharing it with you’ll.


Until next time. Take care.

Street Wear Double Scoop Lip Gloss and Glitter in 'Fruitalicious' Review
March 14, 20140 Comments
Every teen has this first time cosmetic usage stage ! And this lip gloss by Revlon was my very first one !
The time I bought I was so sure I would finish it off within a few weeks that I had already imagined buying 2 more of these in other flavors !

Alas, I used it only thrice *sad face* . I stopped using it the very next minute I got my hands on a much better staying power wala lip gloss.

Revlon street wear fruitalacious
It was a favorite in my teens . I bought it from a Cosmetic store which was opened newly at Big bazaar.

Quantity :3.9 grams (glitter) + 4 grams (gloss).
Price :INR 120 (It cost me more! YES But I don’t remember how much *scratches head* )
Packaging : 2 tubs . One with the glitter and the other with the gloss. A thick layer of plastic underneath the product makes it a tad too heavy ! *eye roll* . Also application with fingers dipping and re dipping is not my types.

Ingredients : NOT mentioned.

Staying power and pigmentation : The glitter lasts for about 30 minutes to 1 hour , the gloss for 1 hour and the glitter+gloss for about 30 to 40 minutes depending on how many times you eat.  A lip swatch is a waste of time all you can see is a layer of purple Vaseline , for some reason, I just hated the glitter part.Street wear Fruitalicious revuew
It is a cute lip gloss for teenagers who step newly into the make up world. I would NOT recommend it for women aged 20+ !
I loved the concept of double scoop..

Yay’s:
  • Cute packaging. (Thankfully the glitter and the product are in two different tubs!)
  • The gloss looks cute even without the glitter
  • Feminine fragrance #Ilike
  • Smooth and soft on application.
  • Gives a cute glowing purple color when swatched 4-5 times.
  • I like the name , Its kinda cute *wink*
  • If you are lucky enough to finish the product ,you can reuse the tub to store a home made lip balm *Kbye.*
Nay’s:
  • Absolutely no staying power at all!
  • This being my first lip gloss ended up creating a mind set that glosses have no staying power during my teenage years! *Boohoo*
  • Unhygienic!
  • Insanely stickyyyyyyyyyyy!
  • The glitter is a waste of space and money ! WASTE ! I didn't use it even once.Tralalalala
  • The packaging is heavy and not travel friendly.
  • Reapplication is an issue for me ! Hence it’s a BIG con for me.
Revlon street wear

Also they are now discontinued (Guessing) . If you want to buy it please don’t waste time you will end up with an expired product .LOL.

Rating:
2/5

Availability: You can still buy them on Ebay. (Yes yes guessing guessing) They are available in 3 different shades
Flirtalicious,Limealicious and Coffeelicious.

Will I repurchase it?
I will, once I finish of this one first, which is possible only if I use it on a regular basis.LOL joking I am not purchasing this ever.
