It comes in a normal round eyeshadow pan packaging..with a flip cap..
I was in love with the shade the moment I saw it..the name ‘Emerald Smoke’ was calling out to me 😀
But…as soon as I touched it.. 😮 Its a creamy eyeshadow..Nowhere did I read thats its cream based..not even in claims or on the pack..so I expected these to be powder eyeshadows..
I still love the color ! :p Emerald Smoke is a deep blackened olive green with golden shimmer..
T: 2 swipes, B: 1 swipe
Its pretty pigmented and buildable..I love how gorgeous it looks..kinda blackened olive green smokey eyes with some golden shimmer shining..
But but..the only and major issue is..it creases within an hour ! It just does’nt stay..and creases badly..how I wish it was powder eyeshadow or stayed longer..
Pros:
1. Gorgeous shade. 2. Easy to use…works with fingers too. 3. Economical. 4. Qty would last long. 5. Travel friendly..the flip cap shuts well. 6. Can be used as an eyeshadow base or gel liner. 7. Claims to be non toxic..
Cons:
1. Creases within an hour ! 2. Only available online for now.
Overall I love the shade..but I cannot wear it coz it creases 🙁 I will have to try a very good eye primer like the Too Faced Shadow Insurance with it now..would update if it stays put with that..

This time its Tantra by Adi..
About the book: Anu is a leather wearing, no-nonsense professional guardian with a reputation for killing the most dangerous vampires in New York City. But when her enemies murder the one person she truly cared about, all she wants is vengeance. The only clue points to New Delhi, so Anu puts in for a job transfer.
In India, she finds more than she expected. For one thing, her fellow operatives have made a truce with the vampires. For another, it’s way too hot to wear leather.
At first, it seems Anu’s biggest challenge will be evading the nice boys her aunt wants her to marry. But when children start disappearing, she discovers forces older and darker than anything she’s faced before. All of Delhi is in danger, especially the sexy stranger who sets Anu’s pulse racing.
To prepare for the coming battle, Anu must overcome her personal demons and put aside years of training. This time, her most powerful weapon will come from her mind, not her weapons belt.
It tells us about the two powers in the world..sattvic and tantric..and how both forms of power are used by people. A first Indian fantasy thriller about vampires and hunters in New Delhi..plus the kick ass female protagonist Anu Aggarwal..definitely scored brownie points for anyone to pick up the book..
The story is about Anu, a guardian from New York and how she lands up in Delhi for her love Brian’s revenge, and meets Amit who helps her throughout her journey..she in search of the vampires..comes to know about a whole new world..of tantra..and Baba Senaka..when children from slums were being kidnapped and killed..
She failed to believe in anything related to ‘tantra’ unless she sees and experiences it all by herself..with the help of Dr.Sharma and Pandit Grover, she came to know about the tantric world..and how to use the sattvic astra against it..
Baba Senaka is a tantric practitioner parading as a holy man. He has all the traits of a leader,soft spoken with a commanding aura. But underneath he is an arrogant man corrupted with power.
The plot lost in between..and there were terms like shifting, guardians, etc, about which readers might not know, especially those who haven’t read a vampire story before..The book is a tad lengthy. There are sections with too much of narratives and the plot stretches. However, what could have been better was a little bit more about Anu. Why and how did she become a vampire hunter?
The end was abrupt and not satisfactory…the cartoonish cover is not too appealing..
But overall its a nice read..and it being Adi’s first..was quite good comparatively.
So you saw all the glam at the Times Of India Film Awards 2013 which happened at Vancouver on Saturday ? In bits and pieces ?
Well I have the who wore what, here for you..
Priyanka Chopra in a black and gold Arpan Vohra gown..she looked fab..I loved the gold earrings too..and the side swept hairstyle..
Aishwarya Rai in a pista green Sabyasachi anarakali..she has lost quiet a lot of weight..and even performed on stage for the first time after her pregnancy..
Nargis Fakhri in an off shoulder metallic silver Komad Sood gown..this is from her latest collection showcased at LFW..the show I attended..looked stunning on her..love the hot pink lips too.
Neha Dhupia in a Sabyasachi couture..A Pinky Saraf clutch and green fan-style earrings by Amrapali finished out her look…she as usual looked amazing
Aditi Rao Hydari in a ‘Gauri & Nainika’ gown..I did not like it much..the shiny fabric and the color..both dint work for me here..
Anushka Sharma wore a black suit and no Indian wear or gowns..may be she was supposed to wear one coz she was the host..nonetheless she looked chic..loved the bangs and hot red lips..and the shoes !
Zarine Khan chose blue..okayish..did you check out her colorful nails ? Do you think its red carper appropriate ?
