A Little Food and Shopping is Good for the Soul ♥

My sister and I went out today, we decided to go to town (South Bombay) and just relax, we went to Theobroma, an amazing cafe! They have this thing called a "Bacon Butty", it's basically a huge burger filled with garlic mayo, fries and bacon.. Mmmm.. It's so good! You'll forget all your worries in a bite! LOL! I don't recommend it to people with high cholesterol though, it's like asking for a triple bypass! Then I had the New York Cheesecake and my sister had an "Adult" hot chocolate, basically hot chocolate with a hit of Irish cream.. So goooood..
I wish I had taken pictures but we scarfed it down so fast, all I would have gotten would have been clean plates! ;)

Then we walked our way to the Westside at Kala Ghoda, I wanted to pick up some bangles I had seen there a few weeks ago, I was hoping they were still there! They were! Yay!

Pretty!

Aren't they cute? I love the one with the pearls and the fabric one with the flowers, they look so vintage! The blue one really adds some cheery colour, don't you think? :)
I got them for Rs.345 at Westside.. Or was it 400? Well, something around that.. I know you get cheaper ones at Causeway but they never last with me! :(

Don't judge me! ;n;

Yes My No Buying Ban is still ON! I needed concealer, if I need something, it is allowed! LOL! My old Diana of London concealer was being a bitch. It decided to leak onto my other cosmetics and I was left with goopy makeup and no concealer! GAH!

So I picked this up while I was there, I have heard a lot of nice things about the foundation, so why not? They had an illuminating version too but it seemed pretty meh.. My shade was "53". Sadly they have only 3 shades and the other two were lighter than this! This one is good for fair-medium skin. I can hear another "Boo!" from my dark skinned friends. :(

The SA gave me two samples of a new foundation they're launching, 123 Perfect, it is colour correcting apparently. Can't wait to give them a go! They've never given me samples before, this was something new for me!

The concealer was Rs.460 but I'm sure you'll get it cheaper online. Don't bother if you're darker than 30-35ish in complexion, it'll be way too light! And they call it Dark Radiance! *rolls eyes*

The Great Find!

With blogging, freelancing and being scatter brained in general, I thought I'd pick up a diary to write down what to do in the day from the small stall next to Westside, my mum used to buy a lot of paper from him, his rates are great! :)
I found this beauty! A Letts of London diary! These are very rare here, that's why I'm happy... I'm not crazy, I swear! :D
It's a pocket diary, it looks big in the photo according to the sibling. The best thing about it was the price! LOL!
Original price: Rs 375. What I payed: Rs.50! YAY!

Hope you liked my little ramble post. Tell me what you bought recently, maybe just for kicks or because you really needed it?

Try and Follow Me Eye Tutorial: K-pop Inspired ^u^

I really love K-pop! Like, REALLY love it! It's the kind of thing that bombards your senses till you're totally caught up in it. The music is catchy and will get stuck in your head even if you don't like it, and visually, every backdrop, costume and hairstyle is always OTT. So, it is obvious, the make up will be awesome too!

That's why I've decided that I'm going to start doing K-pop inspired tutorials, now and then.. Maybe a few anime ones as well! :D I thought of this especially because the Korean eyes are very different from Indian eyes so  had to change the look around a bit to suit me. Not a lot, just a bit.. And, I think if anyone is interested in these looks, they will help them. I also want to do other celebrity looks, so if you guys have any ideas, let me know! :)

So, lets get started! My first look is going to be from a song called Try and Follow Me by 2NE1, one of my favourite videos, because storm troopers! :D This is the original look:

Park Bom from 2NE1

Step 1: Using a white eye pencil/ shadow base, cover the eyelid and blend Blend some on the corner of the lower lid as well. So we have a base. I used NYX Jumbo Pencil in Milk

Step 2:  Sweep on a baby blue shade on the outer half of the eyelid, blend into the crease.

Step 3:  Next, use a silvery shade and pat it on to the middle of the eye lid, blend into the blue and the crease.

Step 4: I accidently (is accidently not a word? I keep getting spell checked! D:) skipped photographing a step. -__- So this is a two in one. In the inner corner and outer lower corner blend in a white shadow. Above the inner corner blend in a baby pink. The pink will make the look more fresh and not dull..

Step 5: Now for the fun bit! EYELINER! Make a dramatic winged liner, use my tutorial if you don't know how... Although if you don't know how this tutorial's gonna be a real bitch soon. D:

Remember to stay within the eyebrow!

Step 6: Leaving some space from the corner of the eye, draw a line parallel to the flick of the top lid liner. Then bring it down to the water line in a similar way to the top lid. This bit takes some time so have some patience, a q-tip and some make up remover with you. :)

Then fill it up! Fill in your water line, leaving the same gap at the corner and tightline!

Step 7: Fill in the white as shown..

Load on the mascara! And done! :D I wish I had some fake lashes for this look. Maybe I'll buy some. :/

Here's the full face. Use a pink blush and a soft pink lipstick. :) I used NYX round lipstick in Blush.. That died on me because of the heat, because of which I got another tutorial to make. -__-

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, you can check out the music video too, their style is EPIC!

Do give me your requests and ideas for looks! See ya!

Manicure Monday: Happy Girly Funtime!

I really wanted to do my nails this weekend and I wanted to USE ALL THE THINGS! to do them. -__- I wanted to use the Miss Claire polish I bought last week, I wanted to use the fimo stickers.. Ended up chucking that idea. I wanted to use rhinestones.. EVERYTHING! But, and this is a huge but (LOL! Huge butt... Sorry.. *ahem*) but I still wanted to keep it simple. :)

So, I ended up with Happy-Girly-Funtime nails!

The original pink is more retina searing, I spared you guys. LOL!

What I used:

• Miss Claire polish E58 
• Maybelline Colorama Amarelo Sol 
• Faces nail stickers (the stars)
• Heart rhinestones
• toothpick and ballpoint pen (empty refill) for dotting and placing stones/stickers
• Sally Hansen Double Duty topcoat

Hope you liked my nails! I've changed them already though, LOL! I get bored too easily. -__- Anyway, I'm going to go make myself some dinner! Bye!
