MY PEACHY INDULGENCE...

HELLO! Last week while returning home, I got this sudden urge to self indulge resulting in my going straight to the shopping mall where I ended up buying some makeup and stuff...

My inspiration for this week is peachy and sweet...and so I'm excited to share with all of you some of my latest peachy additions in makeup!

The first thing that I bought is the gorgeous Sleek Paraguaya Palette (Avior la Peche collection), a newly released limited edition eyeshadow palette from Sleek MakeUP which comes in a fabulous case and contains 12 peach-dedicated shades, all for a budget price of £6.49!



The texture of these shadows is lovely and smooth, all nicely pigmented plus some shades could also be topped as a blush colour, which is amazing! I would do an eye look soon with these as there are so many combos to try!



The second thing that I picked up from the NARS website is their single eyeshadow in Faith (£16.50). It's a perfect peachy golden color, sort of falls into the duochrome category.



This shade would look great as an all over lid shadow together with a burgundy/brown shade applied on the crease area. I would try it as a blusher on my cheeks as it reminds me of the infamous NARS Orgasm but it's a bit on the sheer side and has more of a golden tone to it.



My last makeup pick is the MAC Tinted Lipglass (£12.50) in shade Lychee Luxe. I just fell in love with this color as soon as I swatched it on my hands and there I was ready to stop swatching any other bright colors on my hand and instead chose to fully indulge in this peachy heaven!



Colorwise it's a perfect peachy pink lipgloss, neither too orange nor too pink. It has an amazing color pay-off and contains tiny specks of gold shimmer in it to offer a high quality shine on lips. I love how it just brightens up my whole face and it would look even more gorgeous with a bit of tan on!




So what have all of you been indulging in lately?

A Few Things I Am Loving Right Now...

Hey everyone!

It's Time for another 'Things I am Loving' ramble!
I've wanted to write such a post for a long time but was busy with my student life and the reason why I am lagging behind in my blog posts and to add to my woes - exams! - which are around the corner! I am just plain nervous about them and so request all of you to wish me luck!
Anyways enough of exam sickness and lemme go on to my ramble!

The Body Shop's latest offerings for the current season is quite impressive! I am lucky to have won both the TBS Kajal eyeliner in Steel, and Cheek and Face powder in Chestnut in Beauty Addict's Giveaway! She's a sweetheart, check out her blog! I just cant stop looking at how beautiful the Chestnut looks, with the embossed leaves looking so pretty! The Kajal in steel is something I look forward to wearing everyday as its such a nice frosty black colour and does not look 'heavy' on my eyes.

NARS eyeshadows in Faith (left) and Bengali are my personal choice for the autumn season. Both shades compliment each other so well when worn together,while Faith makes a nice eyelid color and Bengali being a perfect contour/crease color. To me it looks like they were made for each other!

I've been using Dove Pro-Age Neck and Chest Beauty serum for a week now and like it very much. It's a lightly fragranced and textured cream and makes my neck and chest area silky smooth! Neck, Chest and area around the eyes are usually the first to show up any sign of ageing and keeping them soft and supple is a sure way to a better, almost wrinkle-less tomorrow!

Oh my God! I think I am addicted to its smell! I bought TBS Spa Wisdom Milk bath ages ago but didn't use it as I was using other bath products at that time and its hardly been over a week that I got a chance to use it and all I can say is that it smells heavenly and my skin loves it!

Ever came across a lipliner in a rectangular form?! Model Co is the brand for you if you fancy serious shape deviation from your standard everyday lip liners! This is in the Honey Brown shade and goes very well with the nude lippies in my collection.

Being a big time shoe obsessionist, I am never satisfied with my shoe wardrobe and have an unsatisfied desire to possess every single good looking shoe in out there and add them to my ever increasing shoe family and so here I introduce to you the latest member of my shoe family - Roberto Botella (got from TK Maxx). Ohh I can't wait to wear them!

I have never been a tan person but this month I was feeling extra pale and pasty, since I prefer a healthy glow I was excited to try out the Glow Summer Bronze by Model Co. as I am a sucker for nice packaging and everything shimmery! The bronzer has a subtle golden shimmer in it which in turn imparts a nice glow to my skin, a swipe on cheekbones, across the forehead and maybe a little touch on my chin and I'm looking all glowy and ready for the day. What's better, it does not make me look like an oompa loompa!

Impulsive but indeed a gorgeous buy from ASDA! Love is in the air ;)

Thanks to my sweet bf who was generous enough to get me the The Body Shop Scent Collection Pack! It contains a variety of travel size scent bottles, packed full of deliciously sweet/tangy smelling fruity scents. These could be sprayed together for a unique personalised scent, which infact allows me to be a bit playful with them! My fav among these is the one that smells of chocolates, its oh so yummm!!

Thinking of chocolates makes me feel peckish, so off I go and grab some choccies!!

So Gals, what things are you loving rightnow

...And I fell In Love with NARS Cream Blush!...

Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening Everybody!

So how have all you being doing today? And how is the weather at your side? Hot/Warm/Cold/Chilling/Freezing? Over here in the UK its freezing "Oh my God" kinda weather!

Anyways enough of all of that icy talk and lets shift gear to something hot and happening! Yes darlings! I am talking about my new found love - the NARS CREAM BLUSH! As many of you are aware, a few days back I received some gifts from Strawberrynet.com and one of them was the NARS cream blush in Cactus Flower and today I am going to review it.

NARS, is a globally well known brand and they dont need any introduction, as the name says it all! Their products are made with state of the art technology and the same can be said about their packaging as well! You feel very special when you open their products and use them! NARS products are used by amateurs to professionals and suit very dark to pale skins! They have a wide range of colors, some which are pretty wearable shades and some which are absolutely stunning! I have tried a few NARS products myself and freely admit I am in love with all of them! The quality of their products is fantastic and everyone of them has certainly lived upto my expectations!

Here is what NARS has to say about the cream blusher:- "Moisture-rich cream finish formula that provides smooth, silky color for naturally luminous skin. Delivers long-lasting color with a velvety texture and blends easily for healthy glowing skin. Provides a sheer, flush of color for all skin tones. Creates a silky-smooth texture for easy blending. Enriched with Vitamin E."

As you can see the Cactus flower is a gorgeous reddish pink color with suspended golden iridescent particles! NARS cream blush gives depth and a 3-dimensional finish to the region you apply it on and it gorgeously lights up your face and helps create a beautiful reddish flush like appearance to the skin [similar to the 'Just worked out' look].Its texture feels light and creamy and certainly not gloopy or sticky on skin. This blush stays on for a long time without fading or changing color and doesnt leave my cheeks oily either! And a bonus and certainly important feature of NARS cream blush is that these are well pigmented and a little is more than enough on you! I also tried this blusher on my lips and gave it a subtle colour. The cream blush can also be used for those 'make up less' days to add little bit of color here and there!

A downside of NARS cream blush is it doesnt come with a blusher brush and you need to use your fingers to dig into it and use it. If you are a hygiene freak then you better use a good blusher brush specifically made for cream blushers! Another downside of this blush is that since its a cream blusher it has a shorter shelf life than powder blushes! In terms of pricing it certainly is on the higher side (£18) and you need to save some extra cash for this goody from NARS but then its worth every penny you pay for!

I sure hope my review about NARS cream blush was useful and saying which I take leave now!

Thanks for coming and do drop in again!
