My Five Favorite Pink Nail Paints and Swatches

Hey Girlz,

I try to sanitize my vanity of old products every month, just to keep track of expired or unused products, so that I can either discard or donate those items. That ways I keep my skin safe and make way for new products as well (my husband thinks it's just an excuse to make him spend more money).

So, as I was going through my vanity yesterday, I found 5 different pink nail paints in my collection, more that what I thought existed. So for the first time I am doing a post which shows 5 pink nail paints I own currently, each of them loved and cared for. Never thought I would have 5 of same shade ever!!

Sally Hansen Lip Inflation Extreme

Hey Girlz,

It's the best time of the week, THE WEEKEND :). Hope you guys have great plans for the coming days. sometimes, I feel that this concept is a bit overhyped but what the heck, I love enjoying and pampering myself silly along with my loved ones. so, as usual I am planning to have a great time ahead.

Coming to the product under review today, I have always epitomized Angelina Joliesque lips. The perfect pout which has been desires by most of the women of our times. Those lips made me go in pursuit of some lip plumper, and I chanced upon the Sally Hansen Lip Inflation Extreme on some online shopping website. so, without much thinking at that time and even without reading any reviews on the product, I ordered this ASAP.

Pink and Blue: EOTD, FOTD

Hey Girls,

Okay now coming to the EOTD, I tried to experiment with my hot pink gel liner from Lakme (review here) and Fluidline in Waveline (review here). Used only three products for this look and kept the rest of the face bare, let me know what you think.

Nails of the Week: OPI Lincon Park After Dark Review

Hello People,

We are the middle of the week again, and just in time for the nails of the week. Some of you might remember my haul from blab.co.in (shown here), and remeber my two OPI nail paints, one of which I have already reviewed here. So, this week I decided to try on the other one, Lincon Park After Dark. Love the quirky names OPI gives its nail paints.

MAC SHOP MAC COOK MAC Collection and my Haul

Hey girlz,

It's been quiet some time, since I am singing about the SHOP MAC COOK MAC collection. I attended the event hosted by MAC in Select City Walk, which was full of fun, frolic, and colors. A big bonus, it involved shopping, which is becoming my favorite pasttime of late.

The place was going crazy with the girlz trying out and buying stuff makeup from the new collection. In fact, since this collection is a limited edition, some of the stuff was out of stock already. So, here are some pics of the event. As you can see they created a supermarket with aisles, with makeup counters at the sides where you could try the products.

DIY: Baby Massage Oil

Guest Post by Chand

Massage is a lovely way for you to express your love and care for your baby. Massage is a wonderful, loving way to welcome your baby into the world. It can soothe your baby and help to sleep. Baby massage is gentle, rhythmic stroking of your baby's body with your hands. Research shows that with regular touch babies cry less and sleep significantly better.

Baby's massage is a crucial aspect of newborn care. There are lots of varieties of baby massage oils available in market. However, you need to make a right choice for your baby's sensitive skin. You need to consider some other aspects while choosing right oil for your baby's massage.

-        Avoid using oils with strong scents and prefer natural oils.

-        Stop using those oils immediately to which your baby's skin is allergic.

-    Do not change the oil used for massaging frequently. Continue using that oil to which your baby's skin becomes used to.

Some naturally available oils usually used for massaging babies are coconut oil, almond oil, pure ghee or olive oil. Direct plain oils are never good to be used on babies. Heat the oil for about a minute on low flame and use the oil once it is cooled.

Make your own baby massage oil:

You will need half a spoon of white rice and black pepper seeds. And half litre of pure coconut oil.

No Marks Face Pack Review

Hello Ladies and girlz,

Hope you are all enjoying Baisakhi at your respective places. I am having a small home vacation with my baby. Coming to the product under review today. It is No Marks Face Pack for pimpled and pimple prone skin.
My skin has been behaving funny of late and I have had eruption on my face which were neither pimple not any allergy but were still there. Couldn't understand the cause of occurrence. Then, I realized that the weather has changed and probably too many oil based products is the cause. Reduced the usage of such products but still the eruptions on my face were still there. Then, one fine day while sorting through my vanity I remembered this face pack, which was a gift from my mum. Thought of using this on my eruptions and see if it was of any help.

So, the product under review today is H2O+ eye makeup remover, which was a part of my recent haul from Urbantouch (shown here).

My shopping experience and haul at BLAB.co.in

Hello People,

By now all of you must be aware of my birthday hauling, which I have been flaunting sharing with you guys. Some things remained in my haul, which I ordered from blab.co.in. I had been wanting to buy an OPI nail paint since long, but could not do so because of lack of the shades I required on most websites. Also, I was vary of the cheap dupes, which are flooding the markets everywhere. So, while surfing I came across this website blab, which stocks limited but some Indian, some luxury, and some foreign brands (not available here).

So, I ordered 2 nailpaints from OPI, one from Zoya, and a shampoo bar from soulflower on 20th of March, 2012. I was also excited to see them stocking up on OPI crackle in six shades.

Next day I received a mail saying that since they could not reach me on my phone they have not processed my order, so I replied immediately and confirmed the order. They also told me that they would split up the order into two as OPI would take some more time. They also informed that Zoya and soulflower would be delivered in 3-4 working days and OPI in 6-7 working days. This was on Wednesday, 21st of March.

I said all right, since it was a COD (I always have the first order as COD, to check the reliability if the site).

I received information from them on Monday about the shipment of the first order i.e. Zoya and soulflower. It reached me safely on Tuesday.

Let me show you pics of the box, all bubble wrapped:
