YSL Rouge Pur Couture Glossy Stain Rose Tempura 13 - Swatch and Review

     Hey my pretties! I was at the Shopper's Stop, Juhu store, Mumbai recently and I spotted the YSL counter there. I was on the look out for a concealer since the MAC one I have been using is almost out and as the Touche Eclat has been such a raved product I wanted to see how it worked for me. My friend got hooked to it as well and while she was trying out the Eclat I spotted these beautiful bottles on the side. They actually looked like lip glosses to me and when I started to swatch them I couldn't help but pick out 2 shades. So here I am presenting to you 1 of the 2 beauties I picked up. Doing an express review again so hold on to your hats ;)

Shikha Says:

     Hey sweeties! In my quest to increase the versatility of my blog I was racking my head for what kind of post I should do. While going through certain comments and blogs online I realized that one area of makeup that piques everyone's interest but causes unending doubt is face contouring  I have seen so my vids and pics and what not on how to contour.....some of it makes your head spin!! And all that play with light and dark foundation can go real bad real fast.

MAC Archie's Girls Lipstick Oh Oh Oh - Swatch and Review

Shikha Says:

     Hello, back with another lippy from the Archie's Girls collection. I did get a chance to visit Mumbai last weekend as I mentioned in my earlier post but didn't end up picking any of the other lippies from it. I was eyeing the Ronnie Red and Daddy's Little Girl ones but decided against picking them up as the former was something that I already have in my collection and the later was too purple for me which I steer clear off. None of the others had any appeal and I ended up feeling like Goldilocks but unfortunately I did not have the 3rd bear which was "just right"

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Addis Abada SMLC07 - Swatch and Review

Shikha Says:

     Hey Chicas! I want to try a new format of reviewing today. I understand that these days people have neither the time nor patience to go through an essay type review. And in all honesty I would not read one out myself. So to cater to the changing tastes I'm thinking of doing a short intro opening paragraph and then jot down points wise for each feature ie packaging, texture, color, etc. Sort of like an express review. It actually took me quite sometime and effort to think and write in a para style coz coming from the QA industry I'm very used to bullet point thinking. Now I have to go back to square one :P. But whatever the readers want the readers shall get. So lets kick things off.....

Mumbai Trip and Haul

Shikha Says:

     Whaz up me beauties??!! I know I'm going all 90's at ya but I don't care :D...I got my wish fulfilled all thanks to a friend and I was so happy about it (happy dancing in my head - dhin chuk, dhin chuk, dhin chuk).... I'm a complete couch potato and have been hooked to a lot if serials on telly (yes I am THAT kinda person). But I must say that I have tried and broken this habit of mine coz I realized I was getting obsessive about these fictional people and that was just not right.
