NOTD: Collection 2000 - Hot Hot Orange!

Sunsets! Carrots! Apricots! Jack-o-Lanterns! Archie!

Wonder what I am talking about?

Well for starters there is something common between them!

Hmm wondering what it must be?

It's the color Orange!

I love this colour! I simply love it!

Its a very Halloween'ish' color and it sure does look very Hot on the nails!

Speaking of hot, the 'HOT LOOKS' range of Nail Varnishes from COLLECTION 2000 (a drugstore brand) is simply mindblowing! I just love the flat tip applicator that comes with it. I have used many Nail varnishes but not many have this feature in them! It sure makes the job of painting one's nails easy and free of any fuss! It's smooth to apply and best of all dries fast! Texture of Collection 2000 nail polish is glossy/sheeny and is fairly pigmented,all you need is just 2 coats for a good coverage! These beauties are available from Tesco, Superdrugs and Boots and are at average priced at around £ 1.75 per bottle [prices may differ from shop to shop!] plus they have a huge range of bright and pastel colours!. Its easy on the purse and does qualify as a budget beauty buy for Ladies! I have around 3 colors in the Collection 2000 'Hot' range and simply love them!

Well thats it for now my Sweeties!

Ciao!

EOTD: Mystic Blue Eyes / Award Tag

MYSTIC BLUE EYES

Hi All!

What's up on you all of your respective sides? Hope all of you are doing fine and dandy!!

On my part I've been busy. Busy Busy Busy! Exams you see! Gotta study you know! And the reason why I haven't been posting much in recent days!

Anyways the other day while I sat in front of my dressing table I was rummaging through my make up box and came across a box of OPIA loose shadow pigments

sitting idle. So I opened it and decided to play with it and went on to apply them on my eyelids right after I applied a coat of Eyeshadow base! After that I applied some No7 Extragavant Mascara on my eyelashes, some Lotus Herbals Eyeliner on my upperlids and finally some Kohl Liner [Kajal] by Shahnaz Hussein. After that I shot a few pictures of mine and post them here as my EOTD and name them as my MYSTIC EYE LOOK! Hope you all liked it! By the way expect reviews of some of the products mentioned in this post and also some Indian ones in the coming days!

A Spooky Halloween To all my Readers!

Don't we all love the spooky fun filled activities that are associated with the Halloween parties! Trick or Treating, wearing costumes and attending costume parties, ghost tours, bonfires , pranks, telling scary stories, scary music and watching horror films! The darkness of night, colour of fire or of pumpkins prevails the spooky atmosphere! OHHHH just the thought itself is enough to frighten me! Such is the power of Halloween!

So what are your plans for the spooky day? any of you planning to attend a Halloween party or play some spooky pranks tonight? I would love to hear all the spooky stories and pranks and exciting stuff that you guys are planning to do on the spooky night!

Have a Scary Halloween Night ohhhoooooooo!! xoxo

My take on BarryM Blushers

It's well known that Barry M, a primarily drugstore brand, has in recent times earned a lot of fame in the cosmetics world with its affordable high quality make up products and one of the reasons for it is that they simply dont compromise in the quality of their products.

I am a fan of BarryM make up products and have bought a few of them in the past. A few days back when I heard that Barry M powder Blushers were being launched I rushed to the store [superdrug this time!] to get my hands on them! I felt like an adorable bunny standing next to a crate of juicy carrots! I had to have them all! All 6 of them! So even before the next blink of my eye I bought all of them and rushed home so that I could try it on!
The BarryM blushers are SUPER pigmented and available in 6 shades:
Pink Orchid [BL1]
Rose [BL2]
Strawberry [BL3]Raspberry [BL4]
Apricot [BL5]
Terracotta [BL6]

BarryM Blushers From Left to Right: BL1, BL2, BL3, BL4, BL5, BL6

Swatches of BarryM Blushers: From Left to Right: BL1, BL2, BL3, BL4, BL5, BL6

These well pigmented blushers contain Vitamin E [a good anti-oxidant] and are priced at £4.50 each! One should be light handed while applying them as you might end up adding too much on your face and end up with a clown like face! The texture felt fine, soft, non chalky and easy to blend. Another good thing about BarryM blushers that they dont contain any shimmer or glittery bits and serve towards the true purpose of a blusher which is to add colour to the cheeks and not act as a highlighter!

A downside is the packaging! The case looks tacky, most probably due to the seemingly flimsy transparent plastic lid. Another let down was the small blush applicator brush, which I personally found to be of no practical use! If you ignore these two then you have a very good blusher which does its job perfectly!

Overall I am happy with my purchase! Previously with a modest set of blushers and desperately and quickly wanting to build my collection and also avoid spending too much time testing a whole bunch of different blusher brands and with the aim of getting my hands on a good quality well pigmented high performance blusher from a well reputed brand, I decided to go in for BarryM blushers and now feel my quest for such blushers is over [or is it? Hmm only the future will tell!]

So have any of you sweeties tried the BarryM blushers or planning to? Do let me know!
