New Year Nail Art

 This will be my last post for 2013.
I've had a wonderful year - made crazy nail art lover friends,went to gazillion events and learnt a lot of new things about blogging.
Improved my pictures and experimented with different compositions.
It has been one hell of a ride.
I made this simple manicure using 
Faces Ultime pro sand coat Citrus Pie
MASH stamping plate no 40 for index and ring finger
Cheeky stamping plate no 38 for the middle and pinky.
I love you all for visiting my blog and supporting me.
Wishing you all a very happy and prosperous 2014.

MUA Lipstick Swatches (Whole Collection)

OMG, my lips have gone numb from all the swatching and removing i did today.
I've been planning to do this post for some days now.
But then i had my exams and this wasn't the kind of post that would take just 1 hour to click pics and publish.
It took almost the whole day ,a lot of swatching and the funniest part was i had to be in the same posture for hours just to make sure i get all the lip swatches in the same angle and lighting lol
Initially thought i would do this in 2 parts but instead decided to overwhelm you all with the complete swatch in one post.
Phew.
Really happy with the whole outcome.
Hope you girls enjoy it and find the post helpful in case you are planning to shop from MUA.

Iraya Vanilla Whole Milk Lip Balm And Bamboo Nail care cream Review

 IRAYA Vanilla and whole Milk Lip balm
Comes in a glass bottle.
The package has a very homemade look to it.
The quantity is a lot and has two years expiry date.
It will last me a long time.
The only con in package would be that it is bulky and not very fancy.
Dipping fingers in the bottle may not be desirable for many hygiene concerned people.

It is supposed to be a Vanilla and Whole Milk Lip balm but the fragrance is more "milky" and less "Vanilla-ey".

The lipbalm is transparent,moisturising and keeps my lips soft and supple for 1-2 hours.
Not overly greasy and ideal for use before application of lipsticks.It doesn't make my lipstick bleed at the same time keeps my lips hydrated.
You know how some lip balms have the post application effect and if you cease using it it dries out your lips more?
Well this one doesn't have that problem.
It does the job well and if you are looking for a lip balm which is 100% vegetarian and cruelty free then go for it.
PRICE Rs.245 for 20 gm
Contains-oils of jojoba, castor, wheat germ, hazelnut & vanilla
