My Morning Makeup Routine

Well, before I start, I really want to thank you all for the support...I received couple of messages from friends (of course) and some likes from people I didn't even know...It is really encouraging! So I want to take a moment to thank you all!! :)

 Ok...back to the blog now...This pic I am referring for the Makeup Look has more of a natural look. It is easy and hardly takes 5 minutes!

 One thing you should know about me is...I LOVE MAKEUP. So trust me when I say that using a lot of makeup everyday is not good. Even though I am a makeup addict, I try to use less makeup as compared to skin care products.

 During the day, I like a minimum makeup look...as natural as possible, unless I feel otherwise (mood swings).
  • Now that my face is moisturized, I start with the eyes. I have horrible dark circles. To cover them up, I first go with the Bobbi Brown Color Corrector in Medium to Dark Bisque and then after patting it on the skin, I go over it with my Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Concealer in Medium. I also use the concealer on the corner of my nose to tackle the redness. Mostly, I use my fingers to pat the product but if required, I go over it with a damp sponge by ColorBar - Blend Away Foundation Sponge Wheel. The final step here is to set it with a Powder so it doesn't crease. I skip the Liquid foundation / BB / CC Cream and instead use the Powder Foundation by Mac.

  • Next step is to groom the eye brows. I fill in the sparse areas using the Maybelline Fashion Brow Duo Shaper in Gray and set it with a clear brow gel from The Body Shop.

  • Next I apply Liner on my eyes (not a wing, as I am still working on perfecting the wing), followed by Mascara. I try to smudge the liner so it doesn't feel like one harsh line on my eyes.

  • No look is complete without lipstick and some blush. Right now I am going gaga over Milani Baked Blushes...I applied Mac Minerlize lipstick very lightly for a stained effect. And to finish the look, I sprayed a facial mist from The Body Shop for a dewy look.

Voila....that's the complete look!

I feel Empty!

Image
I have been wanting to write this blog since last week...specially over the weekend. Well that was the plan! Another plan was hosting a party at home on Saturday...(that too on a working Saturday). Well...the party was super fun! We had my friends, my husband's friends and our common friends...;) (that's an inside joke..haha). Sunday was lazy lazy...Then came Monday...For me, Mondays are always BLAH! But this time, I tried to make the most out of it...I had some ME time...so I watched a movie...did my nails...cooked dinner (that does not qualify as part of my ME time stuff but still..)...and I slept well. Anyways, by now we have established the fact that I am lazy and I love my ME Time. Now lets get back to the serious stuff. This blog is about the empties challenge!  Last to last month, I challenged myself to first finish off the products I have and then buy new ones! So I have touched rock bottom on these 5 products and thought of sharing my reviews with you guy...

What's in my Bag!

Image
Let me start with telling you how sorry I am for missing out on blogs in the past one month!!! I was really tied up and had absolutely no time for anything...let alone blogging! :(  So I will make up for the lost time and (try to) write as many blogs as I can in this week. This blog is about the awesome stuff I carry in my bag, every weekday! It has my Weekday essentials that I just can't do without. I am a huge Sunscreen fan - For me, it is more of a necessity rather than a luxury. After I have cleansed, toned and moisturised my skin, I apply a heavy dose of Sunscreen. Currently my favourite is this Lotus Herbals Safe Sun Sunscreen in SPF 40 . It is a 3-in-1 Matte Look Daily Sunblock. The best thing is that it is a Tinted Sunscreen with sheer coverage. I apply two layers of this sunscreen for protection as well as coverage. So after using it , all I really need is a Concealer for my dark circles.  My rating - 4 / 5 - Minus 1 for coverage. I wish it had more ...
