My Go To Smokey Eyes And Bright Lips

Hello everyone!

I’m the kind of person who enjoys full-on makeup! Thankfully, I have been blessed with clear skin so I have nothing to hide but I absolutely love artfully done and well applied makeup. Think smokey eyes + bright lips all together! It may not be everyone’s cup of tea since people like to go a bit muted on the lip when doing a heavy eye. I say, bring it on!

This is my go-to smokey eye makeup. Its bronze, its gold, its brown, its gorgeous! I can do this look anywhere with anything that I am wearing and be confident that my makeup looks fantastic. When I don’t know what I want to do or when I have to glam up in a hurry, this is the look I always gravitate towards.

Here are the pictures :

Products Used :

Face –

– Loreal True Match Foundation in the shade “Rosy Vanilla”

– MAC Pro Longwear Concealer in the shade “NC 30”

– Chambor Silver Shadow Compact in the shade “RR2 Rose Pale”

– Sleek Blush by 3 in the shade “Pink Sprint”

– Sleek Contour Kit in the shade “Medium” to highlight and contour

Eyes –

– Sleek Eyebrow Kit in “Dark” for eyebrows

– Sleek i-Divine Eye Shadow Palettes in the shades “Ultra Matts V2″ and “Storm” for eye shadows.

– Maybelline Black Gel Liner

– Maybelline The Falsies and The Colossal Mascara

– False Lashes

Lips –

Deborah Milano 24 Ore Lip Pencil in the shade “08”

MAC Matte Lipstick in the shade “All Fired Up″

This is it for my Plum Eyes + Peachy Nude Lips makeup look!

What’s In My March 2015 Fab Bag?

Hello everyone!

My Fab Bag arrived on Wednesday and it was a bag full of surprises! Some great and some average. It was a little pink pouch with black text printed on it. Not particularly my favorite bag ever but, better than the Valentine’s one for sure!

This is what it looks like :

The theme this month was “Makeup For Difference”

So, let’s see what I got :

1. Palladio Herbal Lipstick – Rosey Plum

Fab Bag has sent me three frosty lipsticks now and I’m really not a glittery lipstick lover. The shade is very rosey oxblood that would look great on slightly mature women with wheatish skin tone. I prefer my lips to be bright, bold and matte. So, this is definitely going to be gifted to an aunt.

2. Soultree Kajal – Grey Glow

This is a soft natural kohl that would be perfect for creating smokey looks since it can be easily be smudged. I wouldn’t count on the lasting power of it though. Grey kohls tend to make me look weak and tired so I usually skip on them and opt for my trusty blacks and browns but it is always great to have smudge-able soft kajals in various colours.

3. Inveda BB Cream – Fair

This is a sweet little handy BB cream to throw in your overnight bag. It gives sheer coverage with a natural finish and would be great to use on days when you have no time for a full face of makeup and you just want to look fresh and dewy.

4. Sebastian Volupt Spray

I have always wanted to try Sebastian styling products but never got around to it. I have used a shampoo and conditioner from their professional range and really liked those so it was a pleasant surprise to receive something from this brand. Also, I have fine hair so a volumising spray is always welcome!

5. Fashionography Bracelet – With Love

I was looking for a dainty arrow bracelet and Fab Bag read my mind! This is a beautiful, delicate bracelet with a little heart charm that is perfect to wear during the day as well as night.

Here is what I got overall :

I am satisfied with the products in this month’s bag as the combined value well exceeds the amount you pay for a single bag. The lipstick is going to an aunt and the kohl is something I would use only rarely. Other than those, I’m excited to try the Sebastian spray and the BB cream. The bracelet was also a very cute add-on.

What’s In My February 2015 Fab Bag?

08/03/201513/03/2015Leave a comment

By Aishwarya Kaushal, Sunday, 8th March 2015

Hello everyone,

I know, I know I’m late with this post! My February Fab Bag came well after Valentine’s Day because I had renewed my subscription mid February. And now, the March one is about to come and I hope I receive that in time to do my next post.

Anyway, the bag was a little black heart this time :

Mine was a little dirty and bent out of shape and I much prefer the pouch style bags they send out normally!

The theme for this month was of course Valentine’s Day :

Here are the products :

1. Sally Hansen Nail Lacquer

I’m excited to wear this polish. It is a soft brown nude shade that is right up my alley as nudes are my favorite shades to wear on my nails.

2. LA Splash Lip Couture – Forbidden

I was so excited about this product but it is really hard to work with! I’m glad they didn’t send me a red one though because I’ve already received three red lipsticks from Fab Bag. It dries completely matte and stays on like paint. But, if you purse your lips together when it is wet, it becomes blochy and is almost impossible to fix! Other than that, the color is to die for!

3. Kama Mridul Soap Free Cleanser & Brightening Ayurvedic Night Cream

I am a little meh about this product. As always, I don’t like receiving skin care in my bag unless it’s a clay mask! But, I’ll try it and see how it fares.

4. Livon Moroccan Silk Serum

I’m usually dicey about Livon serums and I use my trusty Loreal Professional ones but surprisingly, I’m very happy with this one. it detangles wet hair amazingly well and smoothens frizzy hair too. This is a good quantity for a sample size.

Here is what I received overall :

This month’s Fab Bag was average. Nothing too bad, nothing too special. The Livon serum was a nice little add-on and the lipstick is absolutely budge proof. I’m also happy with the simple polish and I’ll have to try the skin care to see how it fares.

I have always been a fan of mysterious winged eyes and this is just a step up from the regular wings that I do everyday. I paired it with bold matte red lips. Of course, you can opt for a nude which will look great too but I wanted to go all out! 😀

What’s In My December 2014 Fab Bag?

15/12/201415/12/2014Leave a comment

By Aishwarya Kaushal, Monday, 15th December 2014

Hello everyone,

As promised, I’m back with the December post! This month’s bag was beyond exciting for me! This is why :

I won in the “Best Party Look” category! Thank you to FabBag for featuring me in their Fab Post magazine! <Does Happy Dance>

Here is what the December bag looks like :

This was a Christmas themed bag!

Let’s get to the products inside :

1. Deborah Milano Rossetto Atomic Red Lipstick – 05

This lipstick is moderately pigmented and has a sheen finish.I am more of a matte lipstick girl though. I have received three red lipsticks from Fab Bag including this one and two of them are glossy. But anyway, who can have enough red lipsticks?

2. Tattva Body Butter – Peach Grapes & Cherry Blossom & Lip Scrub – Vanilla Cinnamon

The body butter has a very mixed scent of various fruits. I have lost count of the number of body butters that I have received over time from Fab Bag. It came with a sugar lip scrub which I am really excited about. They say we can just lick it off after it melts. It contains cinnamon so I’m hoping to see some extra smooth plump lips!

3. Kronokare Itsy Bitsy Massage Addict Kit – Cooling & Detoxifying

This was one of the not so exciting products for me. They have previously sent me a ginger scented shower gel and body lotion combo which I dint like because of the smell. The cooling massage oil is probably not going to be of much use right now because we’re in the middle of winter but I can use the detoxifying one.

4. Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation – 52 Vanilla

I have heard so many good things about this foundation and have been wanting to try it for a long time but never got around to it. Its like they heard me! And they matched me perfectly! This has to be my favorite product of the bunch. I will definitely get the full size of it if I like it.

5. IndieEco Luxury Handcrafted Candle – Lemongrass

I love scented candles! They’re romantic and they enhance the atmosphere. This one smells like fresh lemongrass which is a tad too citrusy for the bedroom but it will be a great refreshing bathroom scent.

Here is what I got overall :

This month’s Fab Bag held a very pleasant surprise for me since I was featured in the magazine. As for the actual products, the most exciting ones are the foundation and the lip scrub. I am happy with the lipstick and the candle too. The travel size body butter will come in handy for on-the-go moisturization. The massage oils were not so exciting. I’m glad they included at least two makeup products and it was not loaded with only skin and hair care.

What’s In My November 2014 Fab Bag?

14/12/201414/12/20142 Comments

By Aishwarya Kaushal, Sunday, 14th December 2014

Hello everyone,

I know I’ve been a little MIA lately but I’m back now! My November Fab Bag came around the end of November or the beginning of December which was really late. I wasn’t happy with the late service but I just received my December bag today and I got a pleasant surprise! The post on that will be up really soon!

The November bag was glitsy and golden :

The theme this month was “Power-Up”

Let’s get to the products :

1. City Color Cheek Stain – Coral

This is a great product for the winter time when your skin is dry. I have used this cheek stain and the color is beautiful. I like to top it off with a powder blush just to make it last extra long.

2. Wella Enrich Treatment Mask

I like to try different hair treatment masks every now and then and I was looking for a new one to try after religiously using loving the Loreal Liss Ultime. So, this came at a good time. I am looking forward to using it and seeing how it fairs.

3. Kama Ayurveda Bringadi Intensive Hair Treatment

My hair is chemically treated and any help from products to revive the texture is welcome. I haven’t been able to use it yet but I am excited to try something that will renew my hair.

4. Votre Invigorating Orange Hand & Foot Gel Creme

The product name on the card says “scrub” but I received a creme. This product will come in handy for at home pedicures and manicures as well as moisturizing at night. I expect it to make my hands and feet feel soft and nourished,

5. Gulnar Handmade Soap

I’m not a really a fan of coffee vanilla scents but I will use it just to use it. I would’ve liked to receive a different scent.

6. All Good Scents Perfume Essentials – Chic

I loved this perfume. It smells feminine. fresh and woody. I have already ordered a full size!

Here is what I got overall :

There were quite a few products in this month’s bag. My constant complaint with the fab bag remains that we don’t receive as much makeup as we would like. There is always a lot of focus on skin care and hair care but all that aside, the cheek stain and the perfume were star products for me. I’m looking forward to seeing some results from the hair treatment products as well. The soap was meh for me and the creme was just a fair add on.

What’s In My October 2014 Fab Bag?

02/11/201402/11/20141 Comment

By Aishwarya Kaushal, Sunday, 2nd November2014

Hello everyone!

My FabBag arrived yesterday which is quite late for prepaid customers! I am not happy with the late delivery, it throws the element of surprise right out the window when 100 other people post the pictures of what they received before you received yours.

Anyway, they had 2 varieties of bags this month, a shimmery blue one and a silver one. I got the silver one!

This was a Diwali themed bag and I got mine well after Diwali!

Lets start with what I received :

1. SeaSoul HD Finish CC Cream with SPF 20 – Light

I am happy to try this product. The shade is a little dark for me but maybe I can make it work with a lighter powder on top. I have only swatched it on hand yet and it blends decently. Let’s see how it fairs on the face!

2. Just Herbs 6 Step Organic Skincare Kit 1

This is the product I am most excited about. Since I have oily skin, it is hard to find a great moisturizer that won’t make me look greasy. I am usually not excited by skincare but this kit has so much to try and explore! I have already tried the Daily Beauty Gel and Suncreen Gel and I am really happy with them! They have a normal/dry version of this kit as well.

3. The Nature’s Co Rosemary Hibiscus Hair Mask

I don’t have a lot to say about this product. I usually use deep conditioning hair masks in the shower and oils for massage. So, maybe something like this would be interesting to try. It comes in a powder form and I’m assuming you have to mix it with water or milk to form a runny paste and apply it on your hair and scalp.

Acuvue 2 – Week Trial Pack

If you’re short sighted like this girl over here and you wear contacts, you know the struggle! You always wish your contacts felt more comfortable and soft. I usually wear colored lenses but when I wear clear ones, I wear Bausch and Lomb SoftLens. After 8 hours, my eyes get slightly dry and I want to take them off. I was really excited to try Acuvue Lenses. I wore these yesterday for about 6-7 hours and they felt like nothing in my eyes. They were soft and easy to wear. Next time I am in the market for new lenses, I am definitely getting Acuvue!

Here is what I got overall :

This month’s bag was a bag of new discoveries for me! I would always prefer to receive more makeup like instead of the hair mask they could’ve sent a makeup item. I am excited to try the rest of my Just Herbs kit and the CC Cream on my face. The Acuvue lenses were a win for me!

Side Note – I was going through all my Fab Bags and I realized I have collected 14 over the months! Here is a picture :

What’s In My September 2014 Fab Bag?

22/09/201422/09/2014Leave a comment

By Aishwarya Kaushal, Monday, 22nd September 2014

Hello everyone!

FabBag celebrated it’s second anniversary in September and my bag arrived yesterday. This was one of the best bags they’ve sent out and I’m very excited! 😀 So, lets begin.

This is what the bag looks like this month :

I love animal print! The bag is so pretty!

Here is what I received in my bag :

1. Bellapierre Mineral Foundation – Ivory

I am mega glad that they sent me the right shade! I am usually the lightest shade in most Indian base products and to receive a product that is too dark is very frustrating. It is such a gamble to send someone you’ve never seen in person a base product. This is a 4 gm sample which is quite generous for a sample size and costs Rs. 2500/- The full size costs Rs. 4,900/- The product contains an SPF of 15 so it is probably not the best for flash photography. I am very excited to try it.

2. SkinYoga Green Tea Face Mask

This is a 5.6 gm sample that will last about three uses. It is supposed to be mixed with water to form a paste and then used as a face mask. This is meant to control acne and guard skin against the Sun. Thankfully, I don’t suffer from acne but I would still like to try this product for clearer pores and smoother skin. The full size is 50 gms and retails for Rs.1,750/- Also, the bottle is very cute 😛

3. Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miracle With Gift

I have high hopes from this product! If you don’t take your vitamins regularly, you might suffer from brittle nails and this should take care of that. The gift is a small travel sized manicure kit that is so handy to take anywhere. This is the full sized version and costs Rs. 875/-

BONUS – Trendy Printed Scarf + FAB POST Magazine

They sent out scarves with various prints on them. I got a Marilyn Monroe print scarf. I would’ve preferred to receive some other print but eh, I am not much of a scarf wearer anyway! The magazine contains details of each product that we received and many others.

Here is what I received overall :

I am so happy with this month’s bag. They sent out great products that we will be excited to use. Well done to FabBag and a very happy second anniversary! 🙂
