My Spring Haul 2011

Retweet this button on every post blogger
 First of all apologies apologies!!! My internet connection is getting so slow that I just was so annoyed uploading and arggh stopped it *embarrassed* Ok so without promises I am just saying I would post as often as I can :) Secondly, I know summers have started but since I never posted anything here around the spring time, might as well post now right?

First, of all picked up this lovely fake juicy couture wallet. The outside purple fabric is made out of velour and there is a gorgeous golden imprint of the juicy crown with golden studs on it. Juicy is embroidered with baby pink on the side and the side trimming are also in baby pink. 
Bought it for approx $16.5
This is how the inside of the wallet looks like. 'Mad Money' is written on the top in calligraphic writing which makes it look so funky!!



I got this lovely pinkie heels for around $5.5. I got it for so cheap as the leather was kind of getting old (you can make it out form the pics) so the shopkeeper had a sale on only this design which was available in wedges too in pink, brown and black. Anyhow I obviously fell for this!!

This is plastic-straw material clutch in raspberry color (you the dark pinkish awesome shade :D). Got it from jeanswest as I think could be easily paired with a great spring/summer dress. By the way, its super light in weight. Love it specially since its bowy-bowy matching with my heels.

 
Okay now to the beauty part!! I actually got lots and lots of stuff but I will review all of them in detail so will just give you a mini review of very few items I just got and have been using like crazy!!

All products are from Avon. All 4 products are the latest launch here and were been sold for a super cheap introductory price so took advantage right away!!
This is Avon Body Natural Violet & Lychee collection, Avon launched last month just in perfect time for spring. I got the Body Lotion & Shower Gel of 200ml for $4.3 each. Let me tell you if you get a chance make sure you get hold of these lovelies as they smell pure heaven!!! I'm not kidding. The violet and lychee together make such an enchanting fragrance that you would love to use the body lotion every now and then. 
However, there is one flaw - the fragrance hardly last :(

Anyhow, I will do a detailed review later.
 Since my so kiss me.. mini perfume got over, I decided to take this opportunity to get these 2 mini sized sprays so I can take to university everyday in my purse. These are only 10ml which makes it really purse friendly. Got them for $6.8 each. These are the 2 fragrances I got:

Perceive EDP Spray - Has uplifting essences of gardenia,plum, vanilla orchid and sandalwood.
Pur Blanca EDT Spray - Pure white freesia and ylang ylang over a simple blend of peony, rose and waterlily.
Out of the two I love Pur Blanca more, I guess because it is stronger and stays for a longer time as compared to Perceive since its EDT unlike Perceive which is an EDP. Both are extremely sweet and mild to be used daily during springs and summers. I recommend all to try this. You can always ask your representative to give you a sample before you purchase full sized bottles.
However, just one thing about these sprays got on my nerves. I found the cap pretty loose, you can make out from the pic how it kind of hangs and not properly closes. Thankfully, no leakage or such has happened as the cap is tight from the upper part, but still makes me unsure if I closed properly.

Hope you all liked my spring haul 2011!!

Avon Big Colour Dual Ended Eye Pencils- Review & Swatches

Retweet this button on every post blogger

This is like the latest makeup item which is causing a buzz here. Why wouldn't it? After all, this item is awesome!!! I am not sure if these pencils have been released everywhere else but here it got released just last month and its quickly going out of stock due to huge demand.

How Avon recommends using these pencils?
Sweep the darker shade along your lashes for definition. To open up your eyes, blend the highlighter beneath your eyebrows.

As you can see from the picture, that's exactly how the model has used one of these pencils.

What I like about these pencils?
* Honestly, I think these pencils are excellent for those individuals who find it difficult to match colors or blend together. These dual ended pencils have 2 colors complimenting each other which will suit anyone and everyone.  
* One can use these colors to make both a subtle look as well as super dramatic looks.
* The pencils are highly pigmented. All of them have shimmering particles in them which reflect beautifully whereas 1 shade is very matte (Blue Azure). 
* These liners are so versatile that it could be used as bases, eyeshadows, highlighters and liners. 
 * It is a travel friendly product as it will save space due to its multipurpose use.
* These pencils are waterproof.
* It is very creamy to use & can be easily removed by eye makeup remover.

Here are the swatches:

What I don’t like about these pencils?
Nothing I have found yet which will make me dislike these pencils!!

Also I have compared my Avon Big Colour lip pencil which with this Dual ended eye pencil to show you the size difference.

Final Verdict: I think they are great pencils which will last a long long time.  Definitely worth a try!!

Which shades do you like the most?

My ‘I Don’t Care if it’s THE Valentine’s Day’ Day!!

Retweet this button on every post blogger


Ok so people (guys & some random girls) started wishing me Valentine’s Day at 12 midnight!! People don’t even do that for my birthday !!!! Ahh, I was so annoyed around 3-4 guys actually asked me out to be their valentine on go for a date with them. Obviously, any other time I would enjoy the attention :P but this is just getting ridiculous I mean people are so afraid of being single on this so called ‘Love Day’ that they end up asking any random person just to make the world show they too have a person to celebrate with (even if he/she is not so special). Due to which, I feel V-Day is losing its appeal.
                       
When I got up in the morning, I was so against valentine’s that I had jotted down all my arguments against this occasion/holiday/ nowadays ritual. Infact, I was very much going to have a total black look but decided to opt for another (green) color which just shows ‘I don’t care if it’s valentine’s’ since I’m pretty neutral on this issue. But my mood totally chilled out (I’m a very moody person) when this lovely friend of mine’s gave me a huge candy since it was totally unexpected. He lives in dorms and he specially went yesterday outside to get candies for his gf and me. And all I could think of was, ‘How very loving & thoughtful!’
For lovers this lovely song for you for you:-
A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved ~

For the singles, hang in there this is for you:
Lovers enjoy one day of the year whereas singles enjoy the rest 365 ;)
