Pinky swear!!! this bag can be ur wrecked-on-an-island saviour!!

I got this cute bag sometime back and it's one pretty addition to my vanity!
It has four items which could take a girl from not to hot for the day/s!!

It had-

A glow foundation- coral(Rs 150 for 30 ml)
Glow compact -marble ( Rs 150 for 8 g)
Liquid eyeliner- green
Lip gloss - juicy pink( Rs 110 for 9ml)

I liked all items in general though the foundation was a lil dark for my skintone- but blended out it seemed fine . For a second I got scared looking at the shade name-coral, I thought some orange goop would come out-thankfully not!!!

The compact was finely milled and easy to apply. Very smooth and good value foe money.
Both the foundation and compact had a lemongrass kind of scent( like lakme cc cream) whereas I would prefer them unscented.

The eyeliner was a pretty gunmetal green which is a very unique shade and totally a winner- fine brush,good pigmentation and does not smudge unless removed with makeup remover!

The lip gloss was a nice pink shade good for gloss lovers- esp teens and college girls. Maybe I like lipstick too much to really dig this. Though I love their lipsticks a lot -can't beat them fir the price!!!!!

All items are well-priced and total value for money.

I do wish they were better distributed and easier to find- though most online sites have them nowadays.
Also get rid of the scent- takes away from an otherwise decent product!!!

A thumbs up from me!

This Lip bag from MAC is giving me Sultry Delights !

Mac Sultry Delights Lip Bag

Now how can I be a makeup addict and not have Mac in my collection!!! I have been there..seen it...tried it but  could not make myself spend 990/ for a lippie- Hell my sis has already got plenty of stuff from there (AND I initiated her into the world of makeup). So I thought that I should indulge myself a little too - especially when I saw this irresistible Lip bag which is good value for money!
Plus they are the shades I was sure I would like! Also I get this cutie-pie bag too!

I was on a self-enforced hiatus from buying lippies- but I broke it for THIS!

And I don't regret it one bit! :D

I think 1 more pink lipstick in my already large collection wouldn't hurt!  (and my depleting bank balance can just hang by a thread!!)

I am too happy looking at it to care!:)

 Price- Rs. 2400/-

My Little Red Riding Hood - Clarins Travel Palette: Swatches!

This time around..I decided to do my long pending posts first...  So here is another one of my cherished possession - more so coz my lovely lil sis gifted it to me. Yeps, the same one who got me hooked to smashbox first through her sojourns abroad!

This was purchased a year back.... I had told her to look around for a travel palette from a good brand ... since I was hunting for one here... but apparently they sell the good ones only at airports... :P beats me why!

Yeah...I am a palette addict... I love the way all beautiful things come together at once in such a small case!

So here is my precious... more so coz my sis is the most generous and sweet soul who reads my mind! :D

My lil sister's great gift!

Click your Favourites together with Oriflame Very Me Clickit Range!

Oriflame Very Me Clickit Lip Gloss (Neon Pink) & Lip Stain (Red)

Oriflame Very Me range has been a recent addition - aimed mostly at youngsters with pocket-friendly prices.
I was tempted to buy these at the launch offer of Rs. 99/- each with the connector free. I was looking for a lip stain - though I wanted pink one - but it was out of stock, so I got the red one - which turned out to be a good decision as it gives a natural coral tint to my lips.

This range has a variety of lip glosses, 2 lip stains and now 2 concelers also - which can be connected together (& separated & re-connected) for any combination you might want to keep!

I later came to know that this connector/clickit idea was launched first by AVON mark - in the name of Avon Mark Hook ups (See HERE )
I think this is totally inspired from there.... though they have launched it first here in India (Avon India WAKE UP!!)

Avon Mark makes trendy, aimed at youngsters products. I do wish Avon would launch this range in India.... or else competition would keep profiting from their ideas!
Till then its Oriflame who has the advantage....

Price-Rs. 159/- each (Connector costs Rs. 69/- extra!)


Quantity- 3.5ml

What does the company Say:
'Connect Whichever! Connect Whenever!'
Lip gloss- Give your lips kissable shine with shimmering lip gloss.Combine with clickit lip stain for intensified colour.
Lip Stain -Give your lips a juicy hint of colour. Combine with clickit Lip gloss for total shine.

Get Smashing lips with these Smashbox Lip Glosses! Swatches & Review

Smashbox Lip Glosses - Radiant & Divine

These were part of the 'Wish for the perfect pout' Collection in 2010. My sister got these as a gift last year and we divided the glosses amongst ourselves (We are 4 sisters!) Luckily the lip gloss set had something for each one of us - sheer 'Baby pout' for our lil sis, glam 'Candid' for my glamourous sis and these two for ME ! She brought many other things so I ended up with 2 of these!
Thanks to my sis I have these 2 beautiful glosses I might never have bought myself!

Price- $29 (for the whole set)

Quantity- 4.2ml

What does the company Say:
These are some of their best selling shades put together in a collection. They are award winning glosses by smashbox! Wish for the Perfect Pout!
