Parineeti Chopra at Suzuki’s Let’s Scooter Launch

Hey everyone,

I saw these pics of Parineeti online and ..the girl has actually lost quite a lot of weight to be paired opposite Siddharth Malhotra in Hasee Toh Phasee..

At Suzuki’s Let’s Scooter Launch, she looked fab in a mustard yellow palazzo jumpsuit..I loved the jumpsuit too..the color, the structure..very flattering for the figure..

Or is the jumpsuit magic that they look slimmer ? Remember Sonakshi Sinha in a black Rachel Roy jumpsuit and spiked Steve Madden heels..she looked killer !

What do you think ??

The Body Shop Color Crush Lipsticks Review, Swatches

The Body Shop Color Crush Lipsticks Review, Swatches

I showed you the swatches of all Body Shop Color Crush Lipsticks HERE. I also asked you to guess which two I picked..some of you guessed one right..

I liked 101 Red Siren which is a true red shade..but then I had many deep reds..I picked up 115 Enraptured Red and 335 Hot Date.

What the Company claims :Fall In Love with Lip Smacking Colour Introducing New Colour Crush Lipstick Fall in love with lip smacking colour with new Colour Crush™ Lipstick, our new, super nourishing lipstick collection made from the finest quality crushed pigments. From red-carpet reds, to flirty pinks, to au natural nudes, each cutting-edge lip colour is 100% cruelty free, 100% vegetarian and 100% high impact.

Lust-Have Lip Colour 

Our new Colour Crush™ Lipstick collection is an on-trend palette of 24 brilliantly vibrant shades of lipstick, each delivering maximum colour impact. The fashion-forward line-up is available in three colour families; the brightest reds, the sweetest pinks and the finest nudes, in a mix of pure colour and subtle shimmer finishes. Whatever your style, whatever your skins tone, it’s time to reveal your true colours…  

Crush On You  

Our Colour Crush™ collection marries our most intense, full-on colours with luscious moisture. Our secret? We’ve travelled the world to source high-quality pigments, which we’ve finely crushed then blended with a drop of nurturing cherry seed oil and coated with our finest, silkiest Community Fair Trade marula oil. The result is vivid, wow-worthy colour that glides onto lips and feels mega-comfortable to wear. What’s more, each lipstick has a sophisticated delicate floral rose fragrance. Divine!  

Three Colour Families  

With so many hot hues to choose from, you can re-invent your lip-look every day. We love the flame-red drama of Red Siren 101, a bold and beautiful crimson that adds a touch of Hollywood glamour. We think our pink and violet shades are to-die-for; try Red Hot Raspberry 201 for a fierce fuchsia that packs a punch And for easy-to-wear elegance, slick on beautiful beige; one of our favorites is Coral Kiss 315, a shimmering peachy nude. Priced at a purse-friendly Rs.795 for 3.5g, you’ll want to get your hands on them!  

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.795/- for 3.5g

It comes in three different color families..so the packaging has three different colored caps..

Most of them I swatched where frost finish or gave that effect..I picked up 115 and 335 which were not frost..

115 Enraptured Red is a nice deep pinkish red.

335 Hot Date is a light mauve plum

These are super moisturising..no need of any lip balm with these..and highly pigmented..like two swipes give deep opaque coverage..and would cover pigmented lips too..

What I was amazed at..is the staying power ! No moisturising lipstick stays that long..like max 3-4 hours..this stayed for 6-7 hours plus and the tint was there till the end..which was quite deep and prominent too..

Pros:

1. Super pigmented.
2. Highly moisturising.
3. Stays for 6-7 hours and leaves behind a strong tint.
4. Has a soft rose fragrance.
5. Chic color wise packaging.
6. Glossy finish.
7. Does not smear or bleed.

Cons:

1. Expensive.
2. More shades in frost finish out of the shades launched.
3. Not all shades launched here.

Overall quality wise, these are fab ! When all qualities are present in a lipstick, its perfect ! And this one is..I highly recommend these !

After the Body Shop Color Crush Eyeshadows which were awesome, this too has stood upto those expectations being from the same range. Check out all other lipsticks swatches HERE.

This is Avon Ultra Moisture Lipstick in “Rose Seviliana”.

It’s a rich shade of red, leaning towards brick. It is quite pigmented, something that I didn’t expect from this range of Avon. I usually love wearing it as a stain, dabbing it lightly on my lips and blending it with my fingers. 🙂

Editor’s Note: Thats a nice red indeed..and nice pout pic..

I’m wearing Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick in shade number 13- Rouge Jet Set, a deep, sultry, hot rod red which looks very elegant, bold and sophisticated.

 It is a key to instant gorgeous glamour that brightens the face and can actually make you feel more confident. Red Lipstick is said to be an ageless beauty wonder, and this is definitely the most wonderful red I have.

Editor’s Note: This is a super bright fab red indeed..and loved that pout !

I loved the gold embossing and the packaging..this as claimed are indeed, super pigmented ! I was surprised by the pigmentation the first time I applied it..


I generally have to build up nail colors..even the darker ones..as to minimum 2-3 coats..this was :swoosh: in one coat..super duper bright..no second coat drama !

Its super glossy and no need of a top coat too. The brush is easy to use..

Only issue being it started chipping from the tips the second day..and then all over after 3-4 days..I wished it stayed longer..and also takes time to dry..but nonetheless, the pigmentation is just amazing..


I have applied Hollywood Red here..even Pink Drama is bright and pigmented..



Hollywood Red is a true bright bold red.


Pink Drama is a deep raspberry pink..just love this shade !

Tea Rose is a neutral rosy pink..one of those nude pinks..good for formal wear.

Would do an NOTD with a lighter shade like Tea Rose too..

I highly highly recommend Hollywood Red for brides-to-be ! And the Pink Drama too..one of my HG now..This is one must have nail enamel !

Choices by Revlon- Fashion

After the success of their first Choices by Revlon theme on Relationships, Revlon India is now turning the spotlight on Fashion

Fashion is not just limited to a woman’s day-to-day look. This extends to the destinations that she visits, the food she eats, the accessories that she chooses to wear, the lifestyle that she chooses to live. Fashion is democratic. It’s in every choice she makes.

Now the big question is – what is your fashion persona? The answer lies in the Choices by Revlon app which you can easily access here: (http://bit.ly/ChoicesbyRevlon). Answer three easy questions and let your choices define who you are when it comes to Fashion.

They invite you to visit the app and to enjoy finding out interesting things about yourself. Let your readers and friends try it too and see who among you is a Bold Trendsetter, a Bohemian Babe or maybe the Glam Queen.

Fashion and style are the extensions of one’s intellect.

It’s not that easy to answer the question, “what is fashion?” because it means different things to different people. Fashion is an art. It’s a religion. It’s a job. It’s a peek into a personality. It’s playfulness. It’s an escape or a disguise. It is a feast for the eyes. But ultimately, fashion is an individual statement of expression for each of us.

French fashion designer Coco Chanel once said, “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”

It’s true. Fashion isn’t defined solely by our clothing choices, but is also conveyed through the way we carry ourselves, our personalities and our views of the world.


Fashion and fashion trends mainly refers to anything which is popular in a culture at any given time. It is inclusive of areas such as; style of dress, cuisine, literature, art, architecture, fashion trends and many other popular factors. Fashion trends often change rapidly, and “fashion” is often used to describe the latest version of these trends.

Personally for me, my fashion persona in terms of clothes is street chic, smart, more casual and comfortable..sometimes dressy..always elegant..accessories are a must have for me ! Something bright, something neon, something blingy..is what I always need..and of course good shoes..they make or break your outfit..is’nt it ?
Check my OOTDs to know more about my fashion persona..

By the way, I got ‘City Chic’ in the Choices by Revlon app..What is your fashion persona ? Let me know what you got in the comments below 🙂

To start with, I lovee the packaging ! The gold pacakging..and click through mechanism..alike Chanel Rouge Allure..at this price is fab..

The formula is super moisturizing..with the number of oils in the ingredients..it has to be that moisturizing.



It is super duper bright and pigmented..with two swipes you have perfect opaque coverage..and would work for pigmented lips too.

Coral Red is a bright orangey red..actually more of orange than red…this shade would look fab on all skin tones.

It stays for 4-5 hours and leaves behind a pretty tint..

Here is it on me..

Pros:

1. Amazing packaging.
2. Superb pigmentation.
3. Very creamy and moisturising.
4. Stays for 4-5 hours and leaves behind a nice pretty deep tint.
5. 3 beautiful reds in this range..red lovers definitely need to get one !
6. Though its expensive..but mostly on offers..and quite a steal when on a offer ! Don’t miss.

Cons:

1. Available through reps.
2. Would have loved more shades..peaches, plums, corals, mauves, rose pinks..
3. Transfers.

There are 3 shades of red, one pink and one brown..I am loving the sound of the Pink one..Pink Drama…love the Pink Drama Nail enamel of this range !

Overall, I would say its amazing in quality and texture..and a must try..all three reds are pretty nice..and the pink one too..Highly recommended !
