NYX Jumbo pencils-Many ways to use it

lt to rt :Swatches of pots and pans,cottage cheese,black bean,strawberry milk




USES*
Eyeshadow Base-The main use of this pencil is as a base.
Use white eyepencil to line the waterline to make the eyes look bigger and  more awake.
Browbone highlighter
Inner corner brightner/highlighter
Eyeliner(least Favourite of mine due to its staying power and texture) but once set with loose eyeshadow stays put for hours..



Price: Around 250 rs (I bought all mine during sale for 160 rs)

Overall I like these but over hyped..

Review : Sun protection for lips from labello with SPF 30

 Just like our skin even our lips need protection from the harmful rays of the sun.
Before my summer vaction I bought this lipbalm ..It has a thick whitish texture and colour .Its water proof making it ideal to be worn during beach holidays.
I applied a thick coat under my normal lipstick which made the lipstick to last even longer.
Usually after holidays of continous roaming in sun my lips tend to become a little brown.With the usage of this lipbalm tanning in my lips were controlled.Thats the main reason I love this product.

Availability: Not sure about India.
May be available where Labello products are sold..

Price: Very reasonable below 120 rs.
 I was surprised to see in India that Himalaya lip balm at Rs 25 whereas the Nivea was around Rs 130 or so. Here in Dubai Himalaya costs a whopping 250rs and nivea is 70 rs!!!!

Rating: 5/5

Added to my definite repurchase list..

Best of Bourjois


Finally I ve learnt to take close ups of my cosmetics without blurring the names...YEEE.
Actually learnt more about my canon digital IXUS camera in the last couple of days .. 
Now back to the track ...
 I got these 2 blushes which r bourjois's best sellers.Thats what the MUA claimed.
72 TOMETTE and 48 CENTER DE ROSE BRUNE ..
Apparently I read somewhere that 48 blush is one of their oldest being there from the late 1800's or early 1900's

The clubbing eyeliners are the best so far in terms of staying power and no smudge promise..it stays put for a cool 6hrs even in water line ...wow.


2 out of the 5  eyepencils I got from chennai where it retails for Rs 335 and i got for 318rs.
The colours are Blue Neon and Green Insomniac.


center de rose brune and tomette

The rest of the eyepencils are from Dubai..In Indian rs its roughly 312 during sale..The price of the blush dont remember. But these 2 are some of the best blushes I love..

I didnt buy them all in a single go ..kept buying them in sale ..By now you should ve known that Iam a sensible buyer...

My MAC Haul from Chennai

My annual vacation to Chennai is never complete without 20 kgs of cosmetics...LOL
This time it was great mainly becos i was able to get these from MAC which i was eyeing for a long time....Vacations are all about indulgence ...


The colour is like brick red shade but not very bright red/maroon

top:madly magenta,rt 2nd row -coygirl,dollymix,down NC 42 and Indianwood paint pot



rt to lft:madly magenta,dollymix,coygirl,indianwood paint pot,studio fix foundation in NC 42


Studio fix foundation in NC 42
Paint pot in Indianwood
Amplified lipstick in brick o la
Powder blush in Coygirl and Dollymix..The reason for buying coygirl was that I wanted Sakura from Quite cute collection , which they had only one left .But it had glitter in the middle which i thought i wont be able to carry off and this coygirl is an almost exact dupe for sakura sans the glitter..
Cream colour base in Madly magenta ..This is a lovely but shocking magenta which can be used in many ways starting from cheeks to lips to eyes.. Love it but i wont be able to finish this in this life time becos its tooooo pigmented.
Thanks to Rashmi and Anamika of http://www.indyabeauty.com/ and http://www.wiseshe.com/  for their reccomendations...

I hope I ve made the right choice ..What do u think? What r ur fav's from MAC?

I have bought many cosmetics through ebay namely Urban Decay naked pallette, benefit sugarbomb blush, Mac travel brushes, benefit high beam and poseitint .Nars blush in deep throat.

I want to share some ways to shop in EBAY carefully.
Before u start you shld have an ID in EBAY and have a PAYPAL ACCOUNT.
visit http://www.paypal.com/ to reg ur credit card. Its very safe.
You can use Indian credit card registered in pay pal safely in ebay or other american sites.
paypal is like our Netsafe used by visa and HDFC bank.

For ebay buying goto search and type what type of item ( brushes,cosmetics etc)  u want .
You will get a list with price ,time to bid.max and min bid etc.
Check whether shipping is worldwide and in that see if  India  is covered
Enter ur bid if all these conditions r ok.
Its not acceptable to withdraw once u bid even though u can still do it..

Once ur done u will get email from ebay,ebay seller and paypal confirming ur purchase.

Our buy is protected by ebay protection  in case the seller cheats us or we dont receive the item our money is refunded fully back.

I hope this is useful for many and       HAPPY EBAY SHOPPING!!!!! 

This is the way in which i shopped in EBAY.

Be wise and users discretion advised when shopping online..
