THINK PINK!

Right now I am just thinking about Pink! No not the singer but the color! Well if you have been keeping track of the fashion and design world, you would know that PANTONE have officially announced PINK as their color for 2011 and as Pink is a classic favorite of mine I decided to dedicate it by renovating my blog with some shades of Pink! And so today's post is in honour of the color Pink!

So I start by talking about Illamasqua Loose Powder 005, which you all guessed is Pink colored, has been designed to brighten dull skin and make it look more healthy in appearance. If your skin has started to look a bit sallow, green tinged or yellow then this product will fix it! When applied on the skin, it looks translucent with no pink tones noticeable. One thing I like about it is that it's very finely milled due to which it does not look powdery or cakey on skin & also gets rid of shine so this is a perfect finishing powder to give you that airbrushed look!

Now let's move onto lip balms which right now are very much in use due to the wintery weather and the one I am gonna talk about is Eyeko strawberry fat balm! It is a dual action balm in form of adding color and shimmer to your lips thereby making them look pretty and also moisturising the lips and make them soft and supple! Plus it smells of strawberry...yumm! Add a little bit of the Eyeko Lipgloss in Primerose Hill on top and you will have lips to die for! The lipgloss is a pretty pinkish brown colour and the fine gold shimmer particles in it will make your lips dazzle with shine!

Next, the Nails Inc Instyle Candy Pink nail paint which is a lovely pink nail polish that looks great and wears well on any skintone!

Sleek Good Girl Palette is an ultimate palette to reach for if you are planning to give your eyes some serious pink makeover! It offers a lovely variety of pink shades that are sure to give your eyes a romantic look! A special thing about this particular palette is that you could use it as a blush and highlighter palette! Yes ladies! It works great as a blush and highlighter!! Now thats what I call a truely multi functional palette!

Speaking of jewellery... here are a few pink ones from my jewellery collection that I absolutely love to flaunt on my ears!

That's it for now my lovelies! I leave by just repeating two words - THINK PINK!

New Eyeko Cream with Extra Glow!

Eyeko Cream Extra Glow - The latest from Eyeko Cream has instantly made me fall in love with it! In short, its a great product with a super cute packaging!
Extra Glow is a shimmery silvery pink highlighter cream and differs from the Original Eyeko Cream that leaves a golden glow to the skin.
Eyeko Extra Glow Cream
Now I must say I'm liking the Extra Glow cream better than their original Eyeko cream which, to be honest, I found a bit hard to work with.
The Eyeko cream has more creamy texture to it and hence takes more time and effort to blend and settle onto the skin and once its on, it would go on to make my already large pores appear even larger, which isn't what I would desire for in a highlighter cream... but the Eyeko Extra Glow is a different story altogether....

Extra Glow has a more fluffy and light texture and hence takes less effort in blending into the skin surface, unlike the Eyeko cream, Extra Glow cream is also much easier to layer on the skin.

In the packaging its written that its an eye cream, moisturiser and highlighter all 3 in one, but I would rather not use this all over my face as I really dont want to end looking like a glowing 'Disco Ball'! lol. Nor would I use it under the foundation, due to its slippery texture it would prevent the foundation to adhere to the skin. Instead, I would use it selectively on brow & cheek bone, nose bridge and given the quantity you get within this cute £8 jar, one could also go on further to use it on the décolleté region, shoulders or even legs for that amazing shine!

Have you tried the all new Eyeko Extra Glow Cream?

Nail Art With Eyeko Rain and Eyeko Saucy Polish

Hey All!
Today I had a bit of time in my hands so I decided to play with my nails by going in for a simple DIY nail art using the two gorgeous brand new shades from Eyeko Polishes - Eyeko Rain Polish for City Nails and Eyeko Saucy Polish For Naughty Nails!



A list of what I used for my DIY nail art...
  • Eyeko Rain Polish and Eyeko Saucy Polish (Price £3.50 per bottle)
  • Nails Inc Base and Top Coat

  • Allura Nail Guides (available at Poundland)



Easy Step by Step to my DIY nail art...




Step 1: Applied Base Coat on my bare nails and then allowed it to dry. Peeled off the nail guide strip.
Step 2: Placed the nail guide in a diagonal way on top of my nails
Step 3: Carefully applied a coat of Eyeko Rain Polish on the first half of the nail. Waited for it to dry for 3-4 minutes and then carefully removed the nail guide.
Step 4: Carefully Placed the same nail guide just before the end of the diagonally created line of the Eyeko Rain nail polish. Then applied a coat of Eyeko Saucy Polish on the second half of the nail. Waited 3-4 minutes for it to dry and then carefully removed the nail guide to finish off the design.

So that was a simple and easy to follow nail art design using two of the latest Eyeko polishes that looks really cool even when worn alone on nails!

Thanks for dropping by xoxo

Formulation = Medium to Thick (Free from Toluene, Formaldehyde, DBP and Camphor)
Color Opacity = Excellent
Coats Required = 1-2
Chip Resistance= For 4-5 days
Color Fading = None

Packaging and Brush Quality = Nice

Overall Quality = You know this space, don't you!

Picture lovin? me too! Eyeko Tea Rose Polish for country nails. A lovely English Rose color that needs just one to two coats and I am wearing a single coat in this pic, which you can see looks quite opaque.

Eyeko Posh Polish for ladylike nails. I am digging this color for its earthy brown tones, it goes well with almost any outfit and looks posh on nails! Coats applied- single.

eyeko nail polish
Eyeko Coral Polish for Resort Nails. I can't stop looking at how pretty and bright this color looks on my nails. A must-have Coral Red for every coral lover! Coats applied - single.

Now lets meet another little star from the Eyeko brand - Graffiti Eyeliner pen in Navy Blue which I have been using almost every day to line my eyes with!I am loving the dark teal navy blue color which makes the color of my eyes to pop out.

Eyeko Graffiti Pen

The pen eyeliner has a brush nib and does the job of lining the lids so well! Its easy to use and control, just a quick stroke and you are good to go! Its not messy as the liquid liners where you have to dip the brush every time for taking the product out in a controlled way so that the brush doesn't end up with too much of product on it. Its great for beginners and on the go ladies!


The one and only thing that makes me cringe about these pens is that you don't get to see how much product is left inside the pen.
Eyeko Graffiti pens are reasonably priced at £5 each and available in Black, Navy Blue, Natural Brown and Purple, ohh I need to get my hands on all of these!

Eyeko Nail Paints and Graffiti Pen were sent to me by the Eyeko PR for reviewing purpose, this is my HONEST opinion as always and I do not receive any monetary favors for doing the reviews.

NOTD: Eyeko Cosmic Polish and Some Blog Awards!

Hey Everybody!

Today I am wearing twin coats of Eyeko Cosmic Polish (for Space Age Nails) and I am loving it [p.s. please excuse me for the dodgy application :)]! It is a glossy black nail polish with a lot of tiny multi colored glittering particles which add a 3dimensional look to it! I was lucky to win this in Shifa's giveaway along with other goodies!


So what are you all Nailsporting these days? I sure would love to know!

Going on to other things, blog awards specifically, I was tagged by the gorgeous Nada of Arabian Eyes for a total of three Blog Awards, the first being the 10 Tag Award:-


The rule for receiving this award are to post 10 things that makes you happy, now I have done a similar post on seven things that makes me happy, so for this post, I would be adding in 3 more things in addition to the seven things that I've already posted, to complete the 10 things tag. So here goes the 8th thing that makes me happy.....
8) I love soft cuddly toys, at times when I am feeling a bit low, hugging those softies cheers me up for sure!
9) I love taking pics and making collages, my poor little PC must be cursing me for overloading it with pictures and stuff ha ha
10) Last but not the least, I love sleeping, visiting nice and beautiful places, as these two things recharge me up like anything!

The 2nd one is the I Love your Blog Award:-


And the third one being the Beautiful Blogger Award:-



The lovely Maki has also tagged me for the Top 10 Award with its rules being the same as the Top 10 tag award mentioned in this post.
