Sleek MakeUP Del Mar Volume-I i-Divine Palette Review, Swatches
So after the amazing Sleek MakeUP CC cream, time to review the latest Limited Edition palette added to the i-Divine Range- Del Mar Volume-I
What the Company claims: Create stunning eye makeup with 12 shades of super pigmented eye shadow. i-Divine palettes are suitable for all skin tones adding a touch of stylish sophistication to take you from day to night. Each palette includes a matte dark colour, ideal for definition or perfecting that classic smoky effect.
Get your summer off to a scorching start with our limited edition* Del Mar Volume 1 i-Divine palette. Each shade is inspired by the tranquil, calm feel of Ibiza’s chilled out atmosphere, with soft coral oranges of the sunset, deep aqua blues of the sea and sublime greens of the picturesque view.
This brilliant eyeshadow palette of vibrant colours suits all skin tones and complements the bright pastel trend prominent this Spring/Summer 2014
The exclusive packaging captures the essence of the warm sun and mellow Balearic beats floating into the breeze
MRP: $11.99
How to: Get creative and blend contrasting colours together or mix shimmers with matte shades. Each i-Divine includes a classic matte dark colour, great to perfect that classic smoky effect.
Shades:
1st row:
Lounge Lovers– Satin finish n*de gold
Poolside– Matte Sea Blue
Sunset Strip– Matte wearable warm orange
Ambience– Satin finish purple
Chilled out blue– Matte white
Marlin– Matte Teal Green
2nd row:
Opening Party– Satin finish bluish purple
On the Rocks– Satin finish coral
Talamanca– Matte n*de brown (for blending and transitioning colors)
Feel Euphoric– Satin finish peachy pink
Baleric Beat– Matte Lime Green
Paradise– Matte Lilac
There are more matte shades in this palette..and though they look bright in the pan, they are quite wearable and easy to carry shades. Also, not all mattes are chalky and some are very decently pigmented, but some have to be packed on quiet a few times for the desired intensity.
Its a nice blend of colors, and perfect pool party/beach holiday palette. And appropriate for the Summer launch too. I do like peaches and corals and they look pretty good when combined with the right colors. I would not say this palette is a must have, but if you love summery bright colors, then it can be a good addition to your stash !

There are lots of things we do every single day that ruin our looks, from washing our hair to talking to our friends. Don’t believe me ? Shocked ? You ask how ? Read on..
To make sure you stay looking pretty, fresh-faced and perfect, check out this list and make sure you don’t do any of these habits that ruin your appearance. If you do find some of your habits on this list, we’ll also give you remedies and solutions to each and every beauty dilemma.
Coming back to the everyday harmful habits..
1. Sleeping
Although we all need our beauty sleep, sleeping could be causing your skin to age unnecessarily. The problem with sleeping is not the process itself .The problem lies with your pillowcase. Surprisingly your pillowcase can draw moisture away from you and this can age skin. It can also leave unattractive lines over your face. Also, the hair tends to fall more on a normal pillow. To combat your pillowcase problem dermatologists recommend you invest in a silk pillow cover/satin pillow case. Silk contains amino acids, similar to those found in our moisturisers, so when we rest our heads for the night our skin is not losing any essential moisture. Problem solved.
2. Applying makeup/Doing touch ups
When we apply our face creams, our expensive moisturisers and our foundation, most of us are guilty of doing so with our fingers. Although using your fingers is fine, how many of us clean our hands before doing so? Some of us may wash hands before applying makeup in the morning or the night, but not so many do so when they do the odd touch-up job. This is bad news for our skin. The bacteria from fingers transfer to face, which can cause infection and spots. To prevent blemishes and still use your favourite beauty products make sure you use a hand sanitizer before applying your face creams or use makeup brushes.
If you are not sure in how to apply correctly your make-up you could find many courses in internet or locally in pages as olx.com.bd
3. Drinking water
Although drinking water can help improve the way we look, the way we actually drink can make us look terrible. Using bottles or straws to drink is something most of us do every single day, but did you know that drinking through a bottle or straw can age our skin? Drinking in this way can give us the same lines and wrinkles around our mouths that smoking causes. If you want to stay looking young and wrinkle-free it’s time you buy a glass and ditch the bottles and the straws.
4. Talking to your friends
I know we all are big time gossip mongers but does our skin like it ? Think about the places we leave our phones. We leave them on café tabletops, in the drinks holder of our car and on the seat in changing rooms. We leave our phones on shop countertops, we lend our phones to our friends and even leave them on the side in the public bathroom when we wash our hands. When you think about your phone in this way, it’s not surprising that phones can cause spots and blemishes. To combat this problem use antibacterial wipes and be a little bit more mindful where you leave your phone next time you’re out and about.
5. Washing your hair
If you want to look hot and feel good the very least you need to do is keep clean, right? Well, although basic hygiene is obviously a vital part of your beauty regime you have to choose your products carefully. Within most shampoos and hair conditioners you will find a foaming chemical called sodium laureth sulphate. Although commonly used, this chemical can damage your hair, your skin and your health. The Hair Loss Control Clinic explain that sodium laureth sulphate can even cause your hair growth cycle to decline and suggest the chemical can prolong your hair loss phase. So to keep your hair thick and luscious, choose products that do not contain this chemical, like organic shampoos and conditioners. But though, most of the companies now have switched to Sodium Laureyl Sulphate which is not that harmful.
Did you realise your everyday habits would be harming your skin and hair ?
Most of you, in India,must be knowing Sia and must have also bought something or the other from them. I have bought quite a few earrings from Sia for my daily wear and I love the quality. It comes with 6 months warranty and the jewellery never loses its color or the diamonds don’t come out, even if I wear them daily.
Sia Jewellery.com has revamped their website and now we have an all new Siajewellery.com
I like how they have different tabs for individual items like earrings, necklaces, gifts, offers, etc.
‘New In’ tab has their latest collection and they also have bifurcation with Product Type, where they have Eid Collection, Heritage Collection, Spunky Collection, etc.
They have a new Sale section, Flat 50 Store, Editor’ pick Section, New In, Bridal section, etc.
I love the pieces in the Editor’s pick section. And the Flat 50 store is the best. There are some steal deals you just cannot resist. I have already added a few in my wishlist option on the site and planning a haul soon. I think the Flat 50 section is definitely one should not miss !
Currently, Sia has 25 stores all over India. They accept all forms of payment but do not have Cash on Delivery yet sadly. I hope they start that soon. The shipping charges are Rs.95/- per 500g within India and for international orders, depending on the country. I am glad they ship internationally too. If any of you live outside India and want to buy some good Indian jewellery, then now you know where to shop from ! Shipping within India takes 3-4 days.
I think its very helpful for someone who does not have a Sia store around their location. And for lazy bums like me who prefer online shopping. And I have also found some better steal deals at times online 😉
Have you checked out the all new Siajewellery.com ? Your views ?
I have paired this orange peplum top with my black denims and black ankle strap suede wedges. This current favorite gold metallic belt and a gold chain bracelet, gold and diamante statement necklace completed the look and of course, my black bag.
I love this orange peplum top, have been wearing it a lot these days. Its quite comfortable and looks chic too. The fit is nice and the fabric is soft and smooth too. It has a deep U back and can be paired with pencil skirts, denims, maxi skirts and in so many ways.
Its by Femella. You guys must have come across Femella on Myntra, Flipkart, Jabong, Fashionara, Junglee and quite a few sites. They have their own site too from which they retail directly. I love their collection. There are very few brands in India that cater to the latest fashion trends, have all the new collections and are budget friendly too. And for those who are not into international shopping and customs from sites like Asos, etc, we have our very own affordable Indian brand that comes to our rescue. I have bought a lot of Femella clothing before too, for the very reason.

I know I had done the summery floral dress OOTD recently. But since, I had done that after a long time, I have few more for you guys. There is one more this week 😀
I am loving slouchy pants this season. I have loved them in summers and they are still good for the rains, if they are cropped. Reason: They don’t stick like denims, they are thinner so they dry quickly and are super super comfy. I already have a polka dot one but in black base. See HERE. This one is in white..and I bought another plain peach slouchy pants from the Zara sale. :p
I paired them with this faux leather black peplum top which has a triangle knot cut out at the back. And completed it with my favorite leopard metal and leather statement necklace and my trusted black bag.
Its more of a ‘casual comfy meet goth’ kinda look.
Added the Daniel Wellington watch and my current favorite Solester flats.
More about Solester.com: “My new footwear is so damn cool but still i can’t wear it with every dress.” #EveryGirlsProblem
Solester is a one of its kind transformable footwear that demonstrates a new horizon in the Indian footwear industry. As the tagline – The joy of changing it, often clearly implies, the footwear allows for changing multiple uppers on a single sole. It’s perceived to be a dream come true for a women who has to everyday match her dress with a matching shoe.
The uppers are made from high quality leather with comfort and style forming the sole basis of the product. It brings out the designer self in you and allows for a mix and match to create many different looks in accordance with the dress and mood that you are wearing.
With the patent pending technology, the uppers are attached to the robust and comfortable sole safely without compromising on the quality and style. Solester is a result of a dedicated 2 years spent on research and product iterations by a team of dedicated designers and engineers each having experience of more than 10 years in the footwear industry. Here every design is unique and speaks for itself on comfort, style and quality.
The innovative transformable system allows for a purchase of one sole and then purchase of multiple uppers later, in accordance to the mood or need. It saves you:
Money : By giving you the freedom to buy only uppers Space : So you can keep more stuff in the closet and travel bags
“Give a women the right shoes and she can conquer the world” – Marliyn Monroe.
Our goal was clear from day 1 – the shoe must score 10/10 on comfort, style and durability without exception. Countless iteration, endless hours and infinite round of testing for a period of over 2 years finally gave us what we required.
Almost certain that we finally wanted to give birth to this idea and what followed was the beginning
of Solester’s Journey. The journey of spreading the joy – The joy of changing it, often.
If you follow me on Instagram, you must have seen them in my updates too..
I think its a superb idea. I got one pair of uppers too. And I can buy more uppers and just change them, and get new shoes 😉 How cool! Though they are not exactly cheap, but its pure leather. So when you expect amazing quality, you need to shell a few bucks. Plus its only once for the soles. Later you just need to buy the uppers. And they have free shipping and flat 20% off currently for a limited period of time. (Use the code ‘Solester55’). They also have free returns withing 7 days if you have size issue or something. And I just saw that they have 30% off on few uppers..the white Lauren upper is for Rs.699/- currently.
Btw, I also tried a print on print..with stripes and polka dots..I think its looks pretty decent..whaddya think ?

They have stores for both men and women, individually. And they also stock shoes, bags, scarves, sunglasses, clutches, cute hair pins, belts, etc..
The long statement chains..
And statement necklaces..
I was strolling in the store for more than an hour..admiring everything. The shoes and bags were so amazing, I could’nt get my eyes off them.
These color block heels were my favorite..and the floral brogues too !
And the sunglasses too. I tried this one and loved it.
Loved the bags..
And the statement envelope clutches too..
Their new statement earrings..
Some of their earrings are perfect for Indian wear.The green ones I got last time work with 1-2 anarkalis of mine and looks fab.
Colorful belts..
Scarves..
And the hair pins too would work great with Indian wear..
What I got :
Round Rose Gold earrings
Rose Gold Linked Bracelet
Yellow Stone Earrings (Again something which would work with both Indian and western wear)
Cute Stone Studded Hair pins
I would say its a paradise for someone who loves jewellery, accessories, bags and shoes. (And I guess every girl falls in that category :D). And you must check out the Addons store nearest to you. You won’t come back empty handed surely.
Would also like to add that their prices are pretty economical too. And if you search a little, you can find some amazing buys in your budget.
Did you like my haul ? Have you been to/shopped from AddOns store before ?
Get a Dazzling White Smile Instantly with New Closeup Diamond Attraction
Instant White Smile with the New Closeup Diamond Attraction
I attended the new Closeup Diamond Attraction launch on 5th July at Bungalow 9, Bandra. I also met so many bloggers from Delhi, who were flown specially for the event. It was a fun night of chatting, eating, drinking and smiling ! Showing off our white pearlies 😀
We had a photobooth where we clicked fun shots, used props, then were made to play some games in one minute and had dinner, drinks and conversations.
I like the idea of instant whiteness. Just brush your teeth for a minute, and you can see visible difference in your teeth, being more whiter. We also tested it with a string of pearls and a stop watch.
There are whitening toothpastes in India, but this is the first in India giving instant results. It also gives progressive results with continued use, but instant result too.
If you are someone who has stained their teeth due to wine,tea,coffee,etc or in general do not have whiter teeth, you can definitely give this a try.

Commenting on the launch Atul Sinha, Category Head, Oral Care HUL said, “We believe Closeup Diamond Attraction will be a game changer in the category as it transcends from oral care into the beauty space, and leverages on the growing trend of involvement in the beauty segment. Co-created with cosmetic dentists, new Closeup Diamond Attraction is proven to give visibly white teeth from the first brush itself. It is a must-have for new age beauty kits.”

Have you tried the new Closeup Diamond Attraction yet ? Planning to ? Do let me know how you find it..
I am back with an OOTD after a long time. Monsoons have officially begin in Mumbai..though it was on/off before and then there were no rains for a month. That was the time I was wearing this summery floral dress.
Though the rains are unstoppable right now, but again we would see some days of normal Mumbai summer soon 😀
I love the green base and the floral paisley motifs in red,pink and purple on this dress. Also, its more like a casual shirt dress. Its so comfortable and looks pretty too. And has an interesting back.
I paired it with this long gold and silver knot chain necklace, a small blue and silver bracelet, silver midi rings, an orange chrysanthemum flower brooch as a hair accessory. And completed the look with my purple wedges.
Its also very beachy/Hawaiian kinda look I feel :p I think I badly need a holiday.
