Well, Maybelline has come up with a Valentine Special Edition again..and let me tell you, the box has even more awesome stuff..
My favorite Color Tattoo and their very recent launch Lip Polish. And the Colossal Kajal, Hypercurl Mascara and the Color Show Nail Paint are still there as in the previous box.
With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, Maybelline New York has put together an extravagant spread of products in our Limited Edition InstaGlam Box.The InstaGlam Box contains a variety of Maybelline’s hottest products, in a single box!
I loved the pink box with a heart..super cute packaging !
It contains the Colossal Kajal, Color Show Nail Color, Hypercurl Mascara, Color Tattoo and our newest best selling product, Lip Polish.
Furthermore we even have 3 color variants – Red, Pink and Coral!
Mine is the Coral one I am guessing..though the nail paint is red i.e. Keep Up the Flame..the lip polish is Glam 16 which is a rosy brown with golden shimmer..and the color tattoo is Fierce and Tangy..i.e. the orange one..
The total price of these products comes to Rs.1300/- but this box is available on all sites online for a price of Rs.999/- Its soo worth it..just go and grab..boys and husbands..please get it for your girlfriends and wives this Valentine’s..they are surely going to love it !!
Are you getting the Maybelline Valentine’s Instaglam box ? Do get it !!
If you follow me my facebook and/or twitter..you would be knowing how I got the box torn from one side..and the pen drive was missing..
And instead of the grey, I got two green shades..
So lets review the four I have..
What the Company claims: Reinvent your everyday look with the all new Lakme Eyeconic White. With a deep colored stroke in an easy twist up format, it gives your eyes a long-lasting, Eyeconic look throughout the day.Smudge proof, water proof and dermatologically tested; Lakme’s Eyeconic White accentuates your eyes and makes them look bigger and brighter. Key Features: Smudge proof Water Proof, Lasts up to 10 hrs Safe for eyes Convenient Twist- up format
MRP: Rs.250/- for 1.3g
It comes in the same retractable kajal packaging as Lakme Eyeconic in Black or other kajals in the market..its a tough competition in kajals category, I tell you..
White is a pure white shade
Brown is a dark chocolate brown
Green is a deep forest green
Blue is a light forest green (?) (I have no idea why the blue is a green..Lakme has released blue which is almost similar to the green..just a tad bit lighter..I had first thought I got three greens..but it was named blue..and when I saw online, I found that their blue is just like the green..I wish it was a navy blue or a nice peacock or turquoise blue..why the same blue as green, Lakme ?)
Anyways, so here you see only white and brown different..and two similar greens :p
T-B: Brown, Blue, Green, White
These are so super soft..these just break ! Two of the pencils’ tips broke while swatching..and again while trying..I have no idea why these are so soft..do they need to be kept in fridge or something ? It is as it is quite cold..this is only leading to product wastage..and after breaking the tip again and again, you will be hardly left with any product :/
One has to be super careful with this..
These do glide on smoothly and are too soft..no tugging or pulling..pigmentation is quite good too..
They stay on for 7-8 hours on my upper lashline and for 4-5 hours on my waterline..there was not much smudging..but just that they collect at the edges of the eye..but no raccoon eyes issue..
White looks too stark white..I prefer nudes on my waterline..I like using the white in the inner corners of the eyes..
Here I have used brown on my upper and lower lashline and waterline and white slightly in the inner corners..
I like the green one too..
Overall, I would say these are new in the market and colored kajals are a nice thing to have..and budget friendly too..only issue is too much product wastage..and not many shade options..
I would recommend the Green and Brown ! And if you like using white on the waterline..White too..

OOTD: Black Crochet Lace Top, Wine Leather Pleated Skirt
Hey guys,
I am back with an OOTD..winter/fall colors..i.e black, wine, deep forest green, are in vogue..
Remember the white crochet lace top…see HERE..and I had said I would buy the black one too..
Well, is the same in black..I paired it with faux leather wine pleated skirt..and gold accessories..and orange chrysanthemum flower brooch and black glitter heels..
The top is the same I wore to Forever 21 store launch at Thane..launched by Jacqueline..see HERE
Pearl jewellery is a classic, carrying an elegance and majesty that has attracted women of every generation. Very few pieces of jewellery are timeless, but ask any buyer and they’ll tell you, pearls are treasured forever.
Pearls are found in the sea, before being crafted with meticulous care into their exquisite form. There are many imitations, but a true pearl is unmistakable, and natural pearl jewellery has found its way from the waters to the red carpet, time and time again.
Here are some examples of the world’s most iconic fashionistas, wearing some of the world’s most iconic natural pearls.
Jackie Kennedy
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was more than just the first lady to the 35th President of the United States of America, she was an iconic, ambitious woman in her own right.
Jackie’s style influenced an entire nation of young women, especially when she was seen wearing one of her favourite pieces, the pearl necklace. Pearls have never been so popular as when they found their way into the White House.
Coco Chanel
Perhaps the biggest influence in the fashion industry, Coco Chanel was the only name worth knowing once she made her mark on fashion, fragrance, and took the world by storm.
Chanel is unmistakably the highest authority in fashion and style, and takes the up most pride in wearing her signature pearl necklaces. From the red carpet to her own photo shoots, natural pearls were always the perfect compliment to the little black dress.
Madonna
In reverence of the aforementioned Coco Chanel, Madonna gave her fair share of adoration to natural pearl jewellery as well, as an elegant offset to the little black dress.
The ‘Vogue’ singer was at one point the music industry’s chief influence on fashion and culture, whilst being one of the most successful female solo artists of all time. Madonna left her mark with a style that set her apart from every other singer, and gave her music new meaning.
Lady Gaga
Regarded by many as the new queen of pop, Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, better known as Lady Gaga, didn’t take long after her first hit single before making headlines with her outlandish fashion statements.
Alongside a whole host of outstanding and somewhat controversial outfit choices, Gaga maintained her love of natural pearls, sporting a wide array of necklaces, bracelets and even face-pearls throughout her illustrious and incomparably extravagant career.
Natalie Portman
When pearls came to Hollywood, they were worn by the red carpet’s most elegant starlets, one of whom is Academy Award winning actress Natalie Portman.
The ‘Black Swan’ star made headlines when she graced the cover Harper’s Bazaar in October 2006, wearing a beautiful set of natural pearl necklaces. Portman’s cover was a tribute to Audrey Hepburn’s starring role in 1961’s ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’, for which Hepburn wore the same black column dress.
Mantolin Pearls is an online retailer specialising in freshwater pearls, a natural, beautiful type of pearl jewellery. Freshwater pearls are found in rivers and lakes as opposed to the saltwater variety, which are found in oceans. Freshwater pearl jewellery carries the same beauty expected of natural pearls, but they are much more affordable than the commonly worn saltwater pearls.
Mantolin Pearls take inspiration straight from the classics into a beautiful collection of natural freshwater pearl jewellery, combining a selection of elegant white pearls and multicolour pearl jewellery bracelets, necklaces and earrings, creating the perfect compliment to any outfit.

Another lip crayon..no its not a recent one..as you all know..but I had not tried it before..it comes in 5-6 shades but only these 4 are available everywhere.
Comes in a normal swivel up packaging…and has matching outer body to the shades..
Its super glossy and balmy as the name goes..has a slight fruity smell.
Pomegranate Punch is the brightest and juiciest of all four shades..its a reddish pink..with some fine shimmer.
It stays on for 2-3 hours..the shine fades in an hour or so..but the color stays..and leaves a tint behind.
Here is it on me..
Pros:
1. Nice packaging,
2. Easy to carry around.
3. Super glossy and moisturising..no need of a lip gloss or lip balm with this.
4. Quite pigmented.
5. Stays for 2-3 hours and leaves behind a tint.
6. Most reasonably priced lip crayon in the market.
Cons:
1. I would have loved more shades in this.
2. I wish it was sans shimmer.
Overall, its a nice buy..value for money..this shade Pomegranate Punch is the brightest and would look good on all skin tones..Recommend it !

Faces Neon Matte Nail Enamel Fire Stick Review, NOTD
By now, all of you must be knowing about these super gorgeous bright neon matte nail enamels launched by Faces.
I have reviewed 75 Ibiza HERE and 76 Bubblepop HERE
MRP: Rs.229/- for 9ml
They come in normal Faces Nail Enamels packaging..the brush is awesome..no streaking or spreading out..dries quickly..and it stays and stays !
This shade is wrongly named as Bubblepop..as you can see Bubblepop is a bubblegum pink and Ibiza is a bright coral..
This shade is brighter then Ibiza..a mix of orangey coral and pink..I was thinking it might not be as bright as Fire Stick..but then there are no other shades left out of the 5 neon shades launched..
Goes opaque in 2-3 coats and stays for a long time..more than a week.
The brush is super easy to use and gives a nice, smooth streak free finish. It dries super quick..no hassles of waiting..its TOLUENE & DBP, Camphor and Formaldéhyde free.
Perfect quality and good enough quantity..justified price..I have all 3 brights..Ibiza, Bubblepop and this..
Highly recommended !

It comes in a green and white half and half bottle..one side has a light green colored gel and one side some oil..it has a sideways pump dispensor..and both the sides dispense the product together..it is supposed to be combined together and then applied to the hair..like any normal serum.. My hair have turned pretty dry in the last few months..and so I thought of trying this out..it has helped my hair stay hydrated and glossy and shiny..and the most important frizz free..
I use it after my shampooing on half dried hair..and the best part is..it keeps my hair amazingly soft and shiny the next day too ! And it smells amazing.. I am completely in love with it..
Only issue being..I read that one side i.e the gel side of it gets over sooner than the oil one..and hence then only the oil does not give a similar effect..I wish they both came up in equal quantities and finish up together..
Pros: 1. Leaves hair super shiny and glossy. 2. Hair feels softer and hydrated. 3. Stays frizz free. 4. Effect stays on next day too. 5. Easy to use and carry around. Cons: 1. A little expensive. 2. One side finishes up sooner than the other. Overall I would say its perfect for dry hair..and gives that required shine and softness..and keeps hair frizz free..this serum is definitely a must try !
