Lotus herbal pure colors Carnation 640 review and swatches

Carnations were mentioned in Greek literature 2,000 years ago. "Dianthus" scientific name was coined by Greek botanist Theophrastus, and is derived from the Greek words for divine ("dios") and flower ("anthos").
 Some scholars believe that the name "carnation" comes from "coronation" or "corone" (flower garlands), as it was one of the flowers used in Greek ceremonial crowns. Others think the name stems from the Latin "caro" (genitive "carnis") (flesh), which refers to the original colour of the flower, or incarnatio (incarnation), which refers to the incarnation of God made flesh.
carnation flowers come in amazingly large variable colors . my aunt used to grow them in her flower pots and i never got tired of looking at the tiny ruffled petals . God is an amazing artist :)

coming to the Lotus herbal pure color s lipstick Carnation, its the first peach lipstick i'm wearing. though it looks coral peachy , the orange tint doesn't show up on my lips .

Nivea Glammorous gloss Pink sugar review

if there is one thing i can't live without it is lipgloss . i don't really care about lipsticks/kohl.
come winter or spring , i have a lipgloss with me wherever i go.
dry chaps make me feel dull and psycholigically sick lol (i'm not kidding)

i don't remember ever buying this gloss :p

i think i just took it from my brother's table (and no..he doesn't apply bubblegum flavored gloss ,its probably his gf"s ) :)

crystal little hearts (stud earrings)

there s this shop called THE KLICK STORE run by a lovely girl named Karishma :)


she says 
"I've taken my hobby of making accessories to a greater level by starting out this page.
I used to crave for accessories that were different and could be customised. Which i wouldn't see many people sporting.
So here i am with my own accessory line.
Feel free to email me your comments and feedback about the products.
Hope you find something that's irressistable and you'd simply wanna own it !"



she has pretty trinkets and other accessories . but when i saw these lovelies i knew i must have it hehe
i've seen similar one elsewhere but at an illegal price (if you know what i mean!!)
her store is very reasonable and i love hanging out there just browsing around .


after placing the order it reached me within a week 
(which is a big deal because i'm in the remotest town of bihar) .
the postal rate was cheap . <3 


so i really wanted to do a blog post about what i got from her.

College Foundation day (Darbhanga medical college and hospital)

the catering area

the college Foundation day was the last bigggg function for my batch 2006.
it was nostalgic to think how we started as nothing and now we're being addressed as Doctors before our names.
there was the award ceremony. never in my wildest dream i thought i would bag a gold medal in surgery. i still don't believe it. 
the whole thing was overwhelming and though i'm happy i got the medal i secretly hoped that they would've given me a shopping spree gift card instead :p

there were classical dances , retro remixes and a random outburst of fiesty moves by one of our pharmacology teachers (he has hilarious moves!!), powerpoint presentation by one of our batchmates about the journey we've gone through from 1st year to 4th year(made us all sad :( )
lot of screaming, whistling and clapping (my hands still ache from all the clapping i did)

food , fun and more food


hi girlies :)

do you know i'm a foodie? i dream, eat, walk and dance food .
well...its not a very good thing esp when i'm stuck in a place like Darbhanga,bihar.
i can't have KFC whenever i want, hog on lemon tart or cheese cakes.

there are 3 alright non vegetarian restaurants- Durga, Cafeteria & Ganga
if you want my advice avoid Durga unless you plan to drown yourself in bucket of food floating on oil and free salmonella .

Cafeteria is where i usually hang out. its a pretty open space and that s why i like it because the love birds avoid going there (and yes i don't like places frequented by lovers). i've never tried their vegetarian food (i don't go to restaurants to eat dal makhani...:P) but from what i;ve heard its not very good .
however if you're a chicken fan then this place might just be the one you're looking for.

Ganga is luxurious. But its half an hour away from the hostel by rickshaw and by the time i reach there i'm either too tired to eat or too dusty and grossed out. and even if i do eat there , the food is already digested by the time i reach home (bumpy ride)




.

heres what we had when me and my roomie went out for dinner on Valentine s day (and NO we are not lesbians just very straight people whose bfs live thousand miles away from us) :p

♥♥Valentine s day Hairstyles for medium length hair♥♥

Dutch braid with ribbon
The Big day is drawing nearer - guys rushing out to buy gifts for their gfs.
girls getting busy with shopping and losing their sleep over what to wear :p
But ladies, when you're done picking out the perfect outfit don't forget to try something fun and crazy with your hair this year :)
we all love French braids.don't we? Dutch braid is similar to the French one except that its the inside out of it.
believe me , dutch is soo much cooler than french braids.
To add your own touch ,you can braid your cute ribbon along with the hair stands like the one i have done below and finish it off with a simple bow .
You can also wear this hairstyle for your daily work (minus the ribbon)

HELLO KITTY

i'm in my early 20 s ,wayyyyy beyond the pimply adolescent period but OMG i cant stop liking cute girly stuffs . and that my friend is my introduction to "Hello Kitty" my new nail art.
i super love Hello Kitty.
my Bf got me this really cute ring of that Brand and i cherish it too much that i dont even wear it.
its white crystal studded & pink crystals for the bow and its the cutest one i've ever laid eyes on.^_*

anyway coming back to the nail art.
i'm down with a terribleee flu (which i contracted from some patients ...being posted in ENT dept..not a very pleasant experience i tell you..)
my nose is running. my eyes are smarting...really teary and i cant even sit up even for an hour.
i've been inside the mosquito net the whole day (skipped work), stayed under the blankets with a hot water bag ! taken all the anti-histaminics and it still wont stop.
i've covered myself in Vicks vaporub And i'm damn sure i look like RuDOLF the red nose reindeer from all d sniffling and blowing :(

i wanted to feel better so i started making this nail art and OMG i feel so much better already...
it turned out preety cute & i drooled lol

Lakme Peacock quartet Eye Shadow review & swatches

the following are the shades
- forest green
bright inky blue
deep maroon
gold

i'm a total green fan so its obvious i love d green.
my mom loves the maroon (its a warm motherly shade).
the blue one is a lil OTT for me plus it looks too inky .

Maybelline color sensational moisture extreme Bronze Orange swatch & review

A person should be what his/ her name suggests (well in this case a lipstick).
BRONZE ORANGE- is exactly what d name says... its orange but not electric, a lil rusty look but very pretty on the lips. oh btw i have this feeling that all my lipsticks and lipsglosses are corally tinted :p what can i say... i love coral :)

this was the first official lipstick i bought for myself (the old ones i had were all hand me downs from my mom or aunts). and i didnt want to go for the shocking colors as you see working in hospitals is not very make up friendly. none of the girls wear make ups. and when i do put on some lipgloss and kohl i get this feeling that they're giving me "does -she- think- she s -going- to- a -fashion -show?" look (freaks me out!)

there are days i just leave for work only wearing sunscreens. at other times when i'm really in the "i don give a S%@t about what they think days" , i wear my Bronze orange.:)

if lipsticks were babies, Bronze Orange would be my favourite . and i'l call her little GIGI ^_*

rapunzel !send down your golden hair :)

if Rapunzel was in this century i bet she would have gone wackadoodle from allllll the hair accessory options that are available now- starting from the 60's alligator clip to clutches to hold the hair together... from the crochet hair bands to the simple bow ones, scottish checked prints and retro polka dots (oh i'l never run out of things to say when it comes to hair accessories)
i own a dozen of hair bands but thats a story for another day.
today i'm gona post about this really cute clutch i got from Siliguri (there's a store in one of the malls...and its filled with "Hello Kitty " goodies. starting from book marks(!) , watches, cell phone decals, finger rings,mobile hangings  etc etc.
however , i just got the ring and a clutch.
umm.. the other brown flower hair band is from bangalore :)

i know !i know! aint this the cutest clutch everrrr??

i've been collecting them ever since i can remember.
its like a sweet addiction (everyone has their Achilles tendon... mine is accessories)

here are some new ones i got from Westside.

the layered pearl necklace can be worn over a LBD for dinner party or weddings :)

Lakme Lip love Charmer swatch & review

One of my fav buy this winter is Lakme Lip Love charmer.
as the name suggests "charmer " is a real charmer- warm pinkish orange(more orange than pink).
it gives a natural look and i like it for that because i don like over doing my lips.

they come in 3 more shades - siren, hottie, flirt .
i found charmer best suited for me.the others were too pink (and i must be the only girl who doesn't like pink) !!

Note To Self

Lately i've been drowning in a whirlpool of mixed emotions. exactly one month and 20 days to go for my internship to get over and i have no idea where i should go from here.
The Evangelical Hospital associations from Duncan are asking me to come and work for them in Raxaul,East champaran,Bihar India.
Get invovled with Mission charity hospital in North India, but  i'm not really sure thats what i want to do.i'm not saying working in mission hospital is a bad idea. The thing is i want to work in North East India.

♥♥♥ its raining hearts ♥♥♥

Review of NYX round lipstick (pumpkin pie)

I love the name NYX ...there s a ring to it.
its musical and sounds fashionable.

i  saw the swatch of Pumpkin pie longgg ago when i was browsing for orangey lipstick.
it looked sooo pretty but back then there were no online cosmetics shops and when d new ones started cropping up they didn't have NYX.

spring fling

this nail art was never supposed to happen :p
i was kinda busy thinking about making some nail arts for Valentine s day but then decided to do something before it (that was last night).
this morning i woke up and just got down to business lol
i wanted to try experimenting with lighter colors but as it turns out when it comes to nail art ,light colors are not very helpful(esp when you try to take their pics it turns out gloomy and disappointing).
i tried my best to get it right...this is all i could do.
they look much better on the fingers than on pictures.
the apple green is such a lovely shade but in the pictures it just won't show :(
anyway here  they are
