JUNE FAVOURITES
Pin It
Its that time of the month again and its time to showcase my June favourites :)
1.Votre Derm Repair Pack:-I recently found this mask and I love it. It really brightens up my face after each use and my face becomes really smooth. I have not had any break outs and so far I love it! Would definitely repurchase!
2.Loreal Infallible eyeshadow in endless chocolate:- This is my favourite eyeshadow of the month. Its really a deep chocolate brown that will suit indian skin tone really well. To know more read my review HERE
3.Illamasqua brow cake in "vehement":- By far this is the most soft natural looking black eyebrow powder that I have come across. Its not ashy and browns however deep they are end up looking not so good on me. This is the perfect black shade and I personally think this black would suit Indians a lot.
4. Wallis butter london nailpolish:- This nailpolish is a burnt gold with greenish tinge to it combined with lots of shimmers. Sounds great huh? Yup it is. I have been wearing this nailpolish a lot this previous month and will be posting an NOTD soon.
5.Loreal telescopic mascara:- Another Loreal product that I am loving currently. It lengthens my lashes and gives it a very natural but fuller look. Read the review HERE
6.Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto Shine Perfume:- OMG! I totally adore the smell of this one. Its not synthetic smelling and almost all ladies would love this. It smells fantastic. Try it ladies and see for yourself :)
7.Lancome teint idole silky mat:- I have been using this tinted moisturiser a lot this past month. I have oily skin and this is perfect for my skin. Read the Review HERE and see the FOTD HERE
8.Fiama Di Wills exotic dream body wash:My hubby introduced me to this showergel and I love it! It has a very sensual tropical smell and its stunning. Keep an eye out at your local supermarket for this one.Smell it and judge for yourself.
9.Revlon colorburst Strawberry Fraise:- This lipgloss is shiny, smooth, pigmented and has an amazing color. Need I say more??? Read the review HERE
10.Model Mirror:-This is a compact mirror that lights up with the help of 8 LED lights built into it. Its really sleek and compact and will look great in your purse.Read review HERE

TIPS FOR CONTACT LENS USERS
Pin It
I have been using contacts since I turned 15. At first it was hard to use but now I am an expert :D. Today I just want to share some tips with fellow contact lens users.
I currently use the Bio true solution from Bausch & Lomb. I used to use their "renu" lens solution religiously. It is good but I find bio true is much better for my eyes as the company claims that the solution has the same composition as your tears. I feel less irritation in my eye after I started using this and I don't feel the uncomfortable sensation that I normally feel when I wear contacts for longer periods of time. I first got a sample of this solution to try out and then I switched to the bigger bottle of the solution.
I always experience dryness in my eye after I take off my contact lens and my ophthalmologist prescribed this solution for me. He said it can be used on a long term basis and advised me to put this solution everyday before I go to bed. This solution is not cheap at all. It costs 270 Rs/- for a small bottle but its totally worth it.
This particular solution is not available easily in India and I bought this online. This has been such a life saver for me as it relieves dryness when I am wearing contacts and I find it easier to wear contacts for longer periods of time when I wear this baby :). The above solution (Optive) I mentioned should not be used when wearing contact lenses. Invest in a solution like this and wearing contact lenses won't be a hassle as it won't dry your eyes out any more.

Use a good dry eye reliever solution everyday

Clean your lenses properly
Always clean the lenses properly before putting it inside the case. This will prevent an infection. Always put fresh lens solution when you put the contact lenses back in. If you have not opened the contact lens ie if you wear them only once in a while or if you have too many colored contact lenses then the solution will keep the lenses intact for a month provided its not opened in between. If you open it or use it in between change the solution in the case immediately.
Some tips for the daily wearer
Always keep a spare lens, small bottle of solution or a lens case in your purse all the time. Don't forget your trusty spectacles. If you feel any irritation don't hesitate to remove the contacts and put your glasses on even if it hampers your style. Remember "eye-health" comes first. When you travel always take a spare lens with you and never ever attempt to wear contacts when you have an eye infection and also never try to wash contact lenses with water as it can produce serious viral infection on your eyes.
So these are my tips for contact lens users and I hope you guys could learn something :). Thanks for stopping by. If you like this post press the "like" button or "tweet" this. Thanks :)

MODEL MAKEUP MIRROR
Pin It
This cool makeup accessory has been with me for so long and I wonder why I never reviewed it!
What it is:-
Compact mirrors are essential for any girl's handbag. They're perfect for touching up your makeup when away from home and they'll help you keep your polished look all day long.
But what happens when you're in a darker location? Maybe it's a poorly lit powder room or a dark club - or maybe you're out camping at a festival with no electricity at all. In situations like this, even the most hardcore fashionistas might put their compact mirrors away and keep their fingers crossed that their makeup remains unblemished.
There's no need to be concerned about the dark any longer: the fabulous Model Mirror compact mirrors feature eight battery-powered LEDs, which emit a bright light similar to a backstage makeup mirror. Simply turn on the power with the push of a button and you can enjoy the luxury of a lighted compact mirror wherever you are.
I think I don't have to list the "Pros & Cons" section as the pics says it all :)
I bought the "Good as Gold" Model Makeup Mirror. I love the funky lips on it :)
The mirror magnifies the image on the "lighting" up part of the mirror and the other side gives the normal image. Its a very sleek accessory and I have had it for the past 6 months and not even a scratch on the outer covering. It has 2 silver colored magnetic latches which makes sure that the mirror closes up perfectly. There is a button on the side for the mirror for lighting it up and switch it off when not needed. There is also a place for the battery to be inserted and so far my mirror is still running on the same battery :)
Overall:- This is not a necessity and is definitely a splurge. But I definitely love it. The price at 19 pounds is not cheap and definitely there are dupes of these mirrors (china made) out there. But if you love quality and the sleek look go for this.
Recommend: Yes!

THINGS I AM EYEING NOWADAYS
Pin It
Everyone has a wishlist rt? Sometimes you lust after them so much that you lose control and splurge rt? Well, this is my wishlist for now. I don't know whether I will splurge or not but I hope to buy atleast one or 2 items from this wishlist of mine. Ok......so lets jump into it
The "seed-bead" hand made bangles are such a rage right now. You can either use them by itself or use it for a little stacking with your favourite watch. I like the above combo of greens & blues. Really pretty!
Another bracelet that I am planning to get is the new "shambala crystal bracelets". I love blingy stuff and if you are a bling fan then you definitely have to get one of these! It comes in different colors. I am planning to get a rose gold one.
No one can ever have too many nail polishes :D. If you are into nail art and stuff then a new polish called ciate "caviar" polish has hit the market and is quite a rage now. Look at those beaded nails. Sooooo pretty!!! :)
I have been hearing about the brand "MUA" for quite some time and now I would love to get my hands on their "Going for Gold" limited edition palette that is released for the 2012 London Olympics! I am eyeing it because I feel that it has some rare gold shades in it. It really looks amazing!

The Nars Galapagos eye shadow is a cult favourite among beauty addicts and I would definitely love to own one of these. Its a rich chocolate brown with gold shimmer and its easy to create a smokey eye or a neutral eye with this shade. Love Love Love it!
Rose Gold is the trend nowadays and the "Michael Kors" rose gold watch is to die for! I wish to own one real soon. Its really gorgeous!!!
Last but not the least I am eyeing......... *drumrolls*
MARIO DEDIVANOVIC!!! :D
He is Kim Kardashian's Makeup artist and I think that says it all. He is an absolute genius and who wouldn't want makeup to be done by him??? God....one day with Mario to learn tips & tricks thats all I ask.......LOL
Anyway thats my "wishlist" and I sure hope to acquire atleast some of the items (including the human pictured above :D) I talked about.
Ciao. Have a nice sunday!
