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.

Lusty desires

Anyone who knows me, can well tell you how much time I invest in surfing around websites of The Body Shop, Boots, Victoria Secrets etc.
So, while I was browsing through the newest collection of TBS, I saw this...

... and my heart let out a melancholic sigh.
[To, the insufferable, odious, klepto PIG, (Piglet, as I was staying in an all girls P.G when the event culminated) : I cannot, believe anyone can be so disgusting as to steal a beloved bottle of perfume. REALLY? This is beneath even you, whoever you may be. I hope you never have the pleasure of smelling fabulous, and I hope that bottle broke before you could spray it on your criminal hands]
Well, I am sorry for the outrage but as Mr Khaled Hosseni has written, quite marvelously, I may add, " There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft... When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someones right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness. " And when you steal a bottle of perfume, you steal the buyer's right to enjoy her purchase and smell amazing.

Anyhow, I am currently lusting after the new Sweet Lemon range of TBS. I love citrus-y smells, especially in soaps and shower gels! I am currently using a Lime soap, and I can't get enough of my own self when I am just out of a bath. It smells so fresh. Energising and invigorating. Like a breath of air, a ray of sunlight, No? I am dying to get my hands on the moisturiser, especially. I am very loyal to Body Shop lotions. They are very light and fluff, and their smell lingers on while not being particularly strong.

I, don't usually use a lot of Body Shop make up, but their latest "Baked-To-Last Colours" sounds pretty good. The jade baked eye colour, in this range looked particularly appealing. It has a great blend of green and blue, and will look fabulous worn with dark or complimentary colours. It will be perfect for evening outings!


What a pity, that my birthday has passed.
