Free Nails Inc worth £10.50 when you buy a Glamour Magazine!

Yesterday while shopping at Tesco, I passed by their magazine aisle. I stopped to check out the latest Fashion Magazines. While doing so my eyes got fixed on the latest issue of GLAMOUR magazine. The reason was they were giving a free bottle of Nail Polish by Nails Inc with every issue of this magazine. I got delighted and immediately bought myself a copy as I feel it was worth it. The magazine was priced at £ 2.00 a copy while the Nail POlish is worth £ 10.50 [RRP]. The polish comes sealed in a transparent cover which also covers the entire magazine. They have released 4 different colors and I chose red for myself :)

So what you waiting for? Hurry up and get yourself a free NAILS INC nail polish along with Glamour magazine!

EOTD and a Blog Award!

Its been quite a while since I did an eye look with a mono eyeshadow, so today, I grabbed my NYX eyeshadow in Hot Orange and coated my entire upper lid with it, leaving the brow bone. I am feeling orange these days!

On my brow bone , I have used the GOSH Effect Powder in Gold Dust (I love how metallic these are, love the pigmentation too!)

I am also wearing 'Lotus Herbals' (Indian Brand) Eyeliner on my upper lashline and MAC fluidline on my waterline. On my lower lids, I am wearing the same NYX shadow and a bit of MAC fulidline smudged over it for a smudgy look.

This time I have gone for the Golddigga Mascara (available in TJ Hughes), applied 2 coats of this mascara on my upper lashline and 1 coat on the lower.

Now, for the eyebrows I used a dark brown lip liner from a generic brand :D as i was unable to locate my brow pencil in my overfilled train case! Gosh, I need another traincase for my ever so growing makeup!

I hope you gals like this look :)

Now coming to the Blog Award part!

Emily from Emily Loves has nominated me for the Lovely Blog award!

I have already been given this award by the lovely Cynthia but felt of doing a mini thank you post on this just to say:
Thank You all for supporting me!

Thank you Emily for the award, You are a sweetie! I love your blog and your FOTD posts!

This is for you girls:)


(hehe I love snuggly cuddly teddies :))

A review on Elite Lip Glosses

Among many recent entrants to drugstore based cosmetic brands, is Elite with its range of Make up products. I came across this brand at my local Superdrugs store and decided to give it a try by purchasing two lip glosses. I tested them on my lips for three days [check out my pics by the way] and here's what I feel about it:-

Left to Right: Elite repulp lipgloss; Elite Shine Up Gloss



Elite repulp lipgloss in the shade: 12 Tempting Plum


Elite Shine Up Gloss in the shade: 15 Rouge

1.The Good Side to it:- To start with I found the packaging to be very stunning and elegant in appearance and it feels great to have it in your bag and occassionaly flaunt it in Public. The glosses are available in a variety of beautiful dazzling shades. The Elite repulp lipgloss comes with a brush tip so there is no need for a separate lip brush for applying color to your lips. A bonus was that the Elite lip glosses leave a beautiful shine and makes your lips look fuller in appearance.


2.The Bad Side to it:- The glosses doesnt have long staying power, smears/bleeds when worn on top of a lip primer! The lighter shades dont have much pigmentation in them which means you need to apply atleast 2 coats for them to show up and also conceal the real colour of your lips! Another thing which I noticed about the Elite lip glosses was, the colors begin to crack up on the lips within 10 minutes and thereby accentuating the fine line on the lips and this really disappointed me! Priced at around £6.85 per bottle I personally feel its priced on the higher side for a drug store brand!I on my part bought it via a 'BOGOF' offer at Superdrugs and it was a kind of relief to me :)

The Verdict:- Will I buy it again? Although I really like the shades, I doubt buying it as I feel its just an ordinary lip gloss with great looking packaging and its a gloss that doesnt stay long on your lips and finally its priced on the higher side!

Have any of you tried any Elite Products or planning to? If yes please feel free to share your opinion with me!
