The Body Shop Black Musk EDP Review & Valentine’s Day Makeup Tutorial
Hi guys,
So The Body Shop recently launched their Black Musk Range and the theme for that is #NaughtyAndNice. It’s a combination of strong musk with the sweet vanilla and licorice notes, hence naughty and nice.
While the naughty side would be more of a smokey eye, this is the softer ‘Nice’ shade. And this soft pink makeup tutorial is also perfect for the Valentine’s Day, win win! All the Body Shop products I use in this video are mentioned at all Body Shop stores in the ‘Nice’ makeup look face chart. Similarly, if you prefer a smokey look, you can check out the ‘Naughty’ Face chart. Here is the face chart for reference or to buy the products online.
So here is the my ‘Nice’ version and this soft pink Valentine’s makeup look..
Talking about the Body Shop Black Musk Range, they have a EDP, EDT and the Perfume Oil. I have been using the EDP since the past few days and getting lots of compliments on it.
I am more of a woody, musky smell lover and I don’t like over sweet perfumes, the Black Musk is a perfect balance of the two coz the sweet vanilla and licorice notes are balanced with the more woody musk smell. At the initial sniff, you will find it very sweet but soon as it settles, you will love the mid and base notes of this.
Notes are sweet pear infused with pink pepper and bergamot on top. Intense aroma of heliotrope, which varies between marzipan and almond, is interspersed with ylang-ylang and aphrodisiac notes of licorice, in the middle. Hot black vanilla,black musk ,earthy patchouli, vetiver and chocolate at the end.
Few people have mentioned that it did not stay that long on them, fortunately on me this EDP lasted really long, also the EDP is the strongest of the three and if you wish to buy any one, I would definitely suggest getting the EDP.
Both the EDP and EDT contain Community Fair Trade Organic Alcohol crafted from sugarcane that is harvested by co-operatives in South America.
It is priced at Rs.3295/- for 50ml which is pretty decent for a 50ml bottle. I quite like the black and pink packaging too, only thing is I cannot see the exact qty through the bottle.
Overall, I would say, definitely take a whiff of this Black Musk EDP the next time you are at The Body Shop store, coz I am sure you will love it 🙂

Makeup Tutorial: Fall/Winter Smokey Eyes | Indian Skin Tone
Hi guys,
I created this deep green/burgundy matte smokey eyes which is fall appropriate using the Starlooks September Revival Kit. Though it has matte bright pink lipstick, I would pair this smokey eyes with a deep wine/burgundy fall/winter lip color 🙂
Here is the video..
Read more about Starlooks in my previous post HERE. I love the idea of Starlooks having small, travel-sized products coz no one can finish their entire eye shadows and blushes, I can’t even finish lipsticks with the number I have! I absolutely loved the matte shadows and the matte lipstick. The eye shadow duo is perfect for fall and hence I created this fall, smokey look. Though the pigmentation is slightly low and you have to go over with the eye shadow 2-3 times. And it has deep teal green mini mascara which looks almost black though.
Starlooks Revival September 2015 Looksbook Mini Kit contains:
* Rawr Lipstick : A bold matte hot pink shade. But it might need a dash of lip balm beneath else it may end up looking a bit dry. My favourite in the palette, love this. Decently pigmented and completely matte
* Agave Eye Shadow duo: A mini matte eyeshadow duo, it features a red agave & green agave shade. Both are earthy shades, leaning towards an olive green and a burgundy. Since these are matte, they are not very pigmented and required me layer and go over my shadows 2-3 times, but they definitely gave a nice matte smokey look
* Flora Mascara: A deep teal mascara which looks almost black, love the brush, it gave nice volume to the lashes and did not clump much.
The eye shadow duo is very fall appropriate, I would have loved if the lipstick would have been a deep matte plum, the kit would be a perfect fall kit then. Though I love the lipstick, plum shade would have worked very well this eyeshadow duo.

Soft Smokey Eyes Tutorial inspired by Mickey Contractor feat. MAC Cosmetics
Hi guys,
MAC Cosmetics is celebrating 35 years of Mickey Contractor in Bollywood with a special video that has Mickey creating the iconic smoky eye look which has become extremely huge and popular all over!
Take a look at it here..
Remember ‘Chalte Chalte’, the Sharukh- Rani Mukherjee starrer? Rani Mukherjee’s makeup in the movie was done by Mickey Contractor and it was this smokey eye in majority of the scenes, plus it looked fabulous on Rani’s brown eyes.
I was asked to create my version of this smokey eyes using a few MAC products. I got MAC Blacktrack gel liner, carbon eye shadow and Feline Crayon Kohl.
Here is a small video on how I did my eyes..
I started with MAC Blacktrack gel liner as a base and smudged it with a pencil brush, went over it with MAC Carbon eye shadow. Blended everything with a matte brown eye shadow. Layered the black again with the MAC Feline Crayon Kohl and smudged it again.
Used Feline on the waterline and smudged it and used the matte brown eye shadow with a pencil brush to smudge the kohl along the lower lash line.
Highlighted with a matte off white eye shadow and the inner corners with a shimmery gold shadow, then curled my eye lashes and applied lots of mascara.
I went ahead and did my face normally, skipped the powder for a dewy effect and also used a soft highlighter on the high points including centre of the forehead and nose. Applied an MLBB rosy brown shade to complete the look.
Excuse the little redness in one eye, something irritated my eye :/
