AUGUST BEAUTY FAVOURITES

'AUGUST BEAUTY FAVOURITES'


Hey loves! I am sorry for being so inactive but its been very hectic lately and as I have mentioned in my earlier post I am just hating this weather, its unbelievably humid and hot
 Okay! So lets stop with the cribbing and start the post with the hope that this weather improves (Fingers crossed)

So in todays's post I wanted to share with you my 'August Beauty Favourites'.
What all I love and will continue repurchasing
So keep on reading :*



LIPSTICK HEAVEN


M.A.C  SUSHI KISS- Its a peachy coral lipstick with a satin finish to it, its medium weight with creamy consistency. Sushi Kiss was a part of the 'M.A.C All About Orange collection'
 Its well pigmented and unlike the matte finish it isn't drying and has a very dewy look to it. It stays on for good amount of time but you need to reapply it if wearing it for long hours.

M.A.C CANDY YUM YUM- Its a bright neon pink colour and comes in matte finish. Candy yum yum was a part of the 'M.A.C Quite Cute collection'. I usually wear it with nude eyes as its a bold colour and I like one thing to stand out, but maybe next time I wear it with silver smokey eyes. Its highly pigmented and stays on for 5 to 6 hours.

These two are priced at 17 USD ( Around 1100 INR) but I suggest buying it from the MAC stores in India as the official site of M.AC doesn't ship here and sites like Amazon, ebay sell it at a double price.

COLORBAR RUSTIC and ROYAL PINK - Its actually a matte lip stain which while applying feels like a liquid lipstick but within 5 to 10 seconds it turns into a super matte finish, the one thing I like about it is that its so lightweight that one feels that there is no lipstick on. Its priced at 900 INR
My ultimate favourite is the rustic one.

CONTOURING AND HIGHLIGHTING FAVOURITES

-KAT VON D SHADE + LIGHT PALETTE
-M.A.C PRO CONCEAL AND CORRECT PALETTE/MEDIUM DEEP


Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette

 After Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour palette, Kat Von d is my favourite. I fell in love with how richly pigmented it is and also super blend able. It comes in a sturdy cardboard type box with a mirror on the inside. The packaging is quite artistic. 








The palette has three contour shades and three highlighting shades, the contour shades do not have very warm orangey tone which makes it a good option for fair to medium skin tones, and the highlight shades are neutral and cool, these have a matte finish to it.
The powder does fall out a lot which gets a bit messy but otherwise its worth having in your kit.
I have added the swatches of the shades in pictures below, its priced at $36 ( Around 2400 INR) around $45 on Amazon excluding the shipping cost to India

M.A.C PRO CONCEAL AND CORRECT PALETTE


I love love this palette whether its for concealing or contouring, I have the light palette as well but I use that one for concealing.
This one I particularly bought for contouring as it has the perfect dark shade which I can use for my contour, its super creamy and blend able. I use NW43 for the purpose of contouring.










HIGHLIGHTING



M.A.C SOFT N GENTLE - My 'Go To' product. Its a golden peachy colour, super pigmented and shows on your skin in a subtle manner. It gives my face a very beautiful glow and I love that about it. 

BENEFIT WATT'S UP -  Its has cream to powder effect and has a champagne hue. Its super easy to use unlike the liquid ones which can get messy, highly pigmented and I prefer blending it with my fingers rather than the buff that comes with it. Its my holy grail highlighter. 
Buy HERE
You can also buy it from Sephora stores where you can try the tester too as well as buy it for the original price.

CHAMBOR LIGHT AND SHEER - This one is a liquid highlighter, the texture feels like a lotion. Its champagne hued and gives a very natural glow. I use it by mixing it with my foundation just to get a dewy look overall. Its priced at 1295 INR. Its one of my favourites. I am happy to see that its available in my town 
Buy it at the lifestyle store at the wave mall or at the Chambor stores in various malls across India.





SWATCHES






FOR BAKING/SETTING THE CONCEALER 

Y.S.L SOUFFLE DE ECLAT, LAURAMERCIER SETTING POWDER-

These both are amazing products, I don't think my make up will be complete without applying these.
They are meant to mattify your skin while giving a natural finish. 
I use them for Baking or setting my concealer, The YSL one has four shades I use number 1, its perfect for my complexion and has light pink hue. 
Laura mercier powder is said to be translucent, this makes it such a popular one among the powder products.  They both hug to the skin without forming any crease. Both are lightweight and mess free. 

LAURA MERCIER -BUY-  HERE

YSL -BUY- HERE



M.A.C BLUSH IN 'PEACHES'


Its the sheer tone blush with a soft matte finish. Its a very subtle peach colour which will show on fair tones the most, for medium skin tones two application might be needed. I love its consistency and also that it looks so soft and natural on ones face. Definitely a thumbs up!


SWATCH




TOO FACED SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE BAR/ EYESHADOW PALETTE

The first thing that will catch the attention of every lady is its chocolate fragrance, its so attractive and one feels like eating it right away lol
It was released in Spring 2015. The colours in this palette are very versatile and one can create different looks using these. One thing that disappoints me is that some of the shades are not well pigmented and some are not even noticeable like the PINK sugar one. Its just glitter in my opinion with a fall out mess. Also I am quit disappointed with blue tone as its too light and not pigmented at all, I will any day go for the naked palettes. But some of the shades in this palette makes me love it so I will continue using it.

PINK CHIC MERMAID

PINK CHIC MERMAID

Hey Loves! Hope you're happy and well. I know I have not been active lately but blame it on the humid weather in my city, I just feel like staying indoors in my jim jams all the time. But as I have a job to handle I have to be out but I promise I will be more active soon.

 In today's post I will be sharing the outfits that I wore in the last two weeks, so stay tuned. 





Pink Chic
A Bodycon dress is a must have in every woman's wardrobe. Its very flattering and a very good option for those who are thin and have a curvaceous body. When you have it flaunt it ladies!
 I have to have a body con dress, I absolutely enjoy wearing it. It is so versatile that you can style one particular body con dress in different ways, like wear it with a long coat in winters or a georgette kimono in summers, its all about how you experiment with one dress. 

I am wearing a Bodycon dress by What The Fashion :)


I wanted to do a combination of pink and silver as I feel they really compliment each other. I used the silver hue for accessorising my outfit and wore a chunky silver neckpiece with it. I kept my ears bare, its very important to accessorize correctly and not over do it.

 The neckline of the dress is shown in the picture down below.

Maybe next time when I wear it I will show off the neckline and wear chandelier earrings with it.




The heels are from Christian Louboutin 




 I bought the neck piece from a local shop in kashmir, but I saw some Instagram accounts selling somewhat the same thing, sadly I don't remember the usernames, I will update if I come across them in future.





 Be a mermaid



I recorded a Make up tutorial video called the Date Night so that you all could achieve a sexy dolled up face, after all we ladies need to make our men go weak at his knees ;) The video is up on my Youtube channel, I will be attaching the video here as well. 
After filming the tutorial I thought of wearing something from What The Fashion and capturing the mermaid look. 
It's a perfect dress for a cocktail party or even for your own birthday celebrations

Some pictures of the look are attached, enjoy the video and the pictures.


Isn't the gold and red combo HOT?

BLACK, BOOTS AND RIPPED JEANS

BLACK, BOOTS AND RIPPED JEANS


Hey loves! Happy Monday! I know for most of you Monday's mean end of a happy weekend but I am one of those who wait for Monday, as it means going back to work and designing lol. 
There is a strike currently in my town due to some issue and mostly everything is closed (boring) but I am not the one to sit inside, so I thought of getting ready and clicking pictures for Instagram and Blog.
 I wanted a different background today as mostly my pictures are at my workshop and I was getting bored of it. We started looking for a location, drove here and there ( me and my fiancĂ©) 
Finally decided on doing it at Bahu plaza, this place is usually jam packed but today owing to the strike, it was quite empty so a perfect opportunity for a picture.

I so wanted to wear boots since long and as it was raining today I thought of finally wearing it with a tank top and black ripped jeans( the moment I stepped out of the car the weather cleared up :p), this outfit is very relaxed and comfortable and one can wear it any day. 


The jeans is from ONLY, I bought it from Wave mall jammu last month. I really like this brand, they have good stuff specially the fitting of the jeans is amazing. 
Checked up an alternate option for you guys. 


The tank top is from Zara and boots are from a brand called Done by none, I found these on Jabong almost two years back, have worn them twice so they still look new. 



 Isn't the combination of black and brown amazing! The sunnies are from Prada, couldn't find them online so providing with an alternative.
