Because I am grateful for color.

I have to admit, my love for make up stems partly from the fact that it is supremely colorful and comes packed in beautiful little delicate packages. When I see something I like, I immediately think of how it'll look clustered with all my other stuff on my oh-so pretty dressing table. I love walking into shops like M.A.C , Inglot, Dior, YSL where they have walls and walls lined up with one fancy product after the other. Maybe one lady sitting for a make over, small girls hovering around the lipsticks , trying it on and doing a horrible yet adorable job of it. Some trying to find the exact shade of their skin for foundation, which pretty much defeats the purpose or some just like me, for the juicy lip balms and kajal sticks, but mostly for the whole experience. It just highlights my senses in a weird, automated way. I want to feel pretty, I want to feel desirable, and then, just like that I do.

I love eye make up! And I love every product made for the eye, be it kajal which is ofcourse my most favourite product, or mascara or eye shadow. Anything at all! If your eye make up is well done, then just by that, chances are that you're going to be turned out okay.

Inglot has some fabulous new products, such as the eyeliner gel. It is definitely worth a buy. It is very smooth and hardly smudges and stays put for what seems like an eternity. Plus they have it in some delicious shades.

M.A.C lipglass. M.A.C. dazzleglass. Enough said.


I love red lipstick. Not the red which has pink in it or mauve, which is usually the case. But bright red lipstick. And the deal with this is that it suits everyone, who has the guts to carry to it. You will hardly find anyone who does not do justice to red lipstick, because if she has the courage to wear it, she'll wear it fabulously. No wonder then it is women like Penelope Cruz, Amy Winehouse, Scarlett Johansson who have made red lips so sexy. And ofcourse Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, who can't be mentioned in the previous sentence, as nobody ever has and ever will be able to come into their league. Like everything else they stand for, they own the red lips too.

A prayer

God, grant me the...
Serenity to accept things we cannot change,
Courage to change the things we can, and the
Wisdom to know the difference
Patience for the things that take time
Appreciation for all that we have, and
Tolerance for those with different struggles
Freedom to live beyond the limitations of our past ways, the
Ability to feel your love for us and our love for each other and the
Strength to get up and try again even when we feel it is hopeless.

- The Serenity Prayer, Reinhold Niebhur

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." — Marilyn Monroe

This is exactly how I feel right now. I don't think I have ever felt this amount of impatience and insecurity in my life. I did not think it was possible to be so negative, so anxious. There is nothing I hate more than feeling helpless and pessimistic. I hate having to draw morbid pictures in my mind, I hate not knowing what to do. To just sit still and wait. Waiting is horrid. It fills an unknowing dread inside of me, I immediately start thinking of the worst. This is why I am such a stickler for punctuality.

"Let them eat cake"

I can watch this movie twice in a go. Once for the love of good cinema, history, queens, royalty and witty dialogues, and the second time in mute. For the fashion, the dresses, the shoes, the make up, the cake, the sets, the extravagance, the floral prints. I am completely obsessing over all of the above, especially the pastel colours, and the shoes! Ofcourse, the shoes!

Before watching the movie I was of the opinion that Keira Knightley would have made a better "Dauphine of France", but I was wrong. Kirsten Dunst plays the role, she was born to, as Marie Antoinette, the Austrian Princess married off to Louis XVI. She does more for the movie than the screenplay which often looses out and fails to be historically accurate quite a lot. That sort of ruined it for me. But the movie nevertheless is a good watch. Jason Schwartzman is interesting, but does not hold a candle to Dunst. Who with her innocence, beauty, regal charm, brilliant dialogue delivery clearly steals the show. She, though is in great competition with Milena Canonera and Veronique Melery who have excelled themselves as the costume designer and the set decorator respectively.

Surely, Veronique Melery, would not mind doing up my house? A tip though, keep lots of cake and pastries in the refrigerator while seeing this movie. You'll need them.
