LIPSTICK ADDICT TAG!!!!

Sunday, June 22, 2014

Hello Lovlies,how's summer going?

SO in this hot weather I though I should do 'Lipstick Addict' tag,I just love lipsticks and I love tags so yeah what better then sharing my love for lipsticks!! This tag is really fun and I LOVE reading through all the lipstick tag blogs/videos,so here Is the lipstick tag.Notice how many times I wrote lipstick..IKR?! LOL

Q1) Favorite Balm/Treatment?

-So I don't use any treatment on my lips,sometimes I just mix honey,sugar and salt together and exfoliate my lips, it makes a great home made lip scrub and my favorite balm has to be by Body shop "Born Lippy" I have been using this forever and LOVE it,it keeps my lips soft and hydrated and the fragrance is so yum..you'll always find a pot/stick in my purse.I swear by it.My favorite flavors are strawberry and raspberry.

Q2) Best Eye catching Red?

- I don't wear a lot of red colored lipsticks,I find it a little too much but recently I bought Loreal Paris Color Riche Moist Matte Lincoln Rose after seeing Aishwarya Rai wear it at the Cannes Film festival and hearing Rav reviews about it.I really loved the color and formula of this lipstick.It stays on for pretty long and doesn't make my lips look all chapped.So I this is my pick at the moment.

Q3) Best Luxury Brand?

-My best luxury product which again has been in my vanity for really long is the YSL Rouge Volupte Shine in the color (Pink in devotion) This is my to-go lipstick when I want my lips to look nice and classy without overdoing it.I came across this lipstick while I was strolling in the mall and I saw the YSL make-up counter and I loved the packaging,haha Yes packaging always draws my attention,so I swatached some colors and finally decided on the pink in devotion and that was the start of my romance with this lipstick.

Q4)Best Drugstore product?

-I own a lot of drugstore products and its really really difficult for me to pick one, but I will pick out my current favorite which is L'oreal Paris Color Riche Matte 371 Pink Passion.This is a nice rich pink coral infused lip color and right now its my daily to-go color.As I mentioned in my earlier post during summer months I prefer wearing coral colors so this what I am hooked onto right now.

Q5) Best MAC product?

-It is almost impossible for me to pick out ONE MAC lipstick,I am in love with MAC.since forever,but as I have to make a choice it would be MAC pink nouveau,I don't know whats with this color..Its a staple in my collection and I don't feel too over or under done with it..Matte or glossy it can pull of any look.

Q6) Most Disappointing?!?

-I don't know if its the MOST disappointing but it is something that fell flat on my expectations.I love maybelline and own a lot of their products so I was really excitto try PINK alert by Color Sensation,got the POW 1 and it was waaayy to shiney and dry .I don't know if a got a bad piece or what but I was really sad after applying it and disappointed hence wont be repurchasing it.

Q7) LINER-yes/no?

-Well sometimes but not ALWAYS,It just really depends on my mood but no a liner is not a MUST do step when I do my lips.

Q8)Best Gloss?

-Revlon color burst Lipgloss in Hot pink,its a nice dupe for a lot of high end products and It just adds a boom to a boring lipstick and I love it.

Q9)Something extra?
-ummm Lip primer,if I want my lip color to stay for long or when I know I would be at an event and I don't want my lipstick to stray or wear of and make me look like a clown.For such times I use a lip primer (MAC).

So this was my Lipstick addict tag and I tag all of you to do it.Let me know about your favorites as I love reading such tags.Leave a comment below and tell me your favorite product,till then have a great Sunday and stay beautiful and keep tuned to SPARKLING DIVA DIARIES.

XOXO! MWAH :*

SUMMER BEAUTY ESSENTIALS

Sunday, June 01, 2014

OHMYGOD! The weather is waayy tooo hot these days and all we end up doing is sitting in our Air conditioned rooms drinking artificial store bought aerated drinks and just torturing our skin and hair!! UGH!

TIP NUMBER 1) REPLACE!!!

I REPLACE a lot of my beauty items during summer,as the heat is just too much to handle and I want my skin to breath.

-I ditch the foundation during summer month,yes I just avoid wearing it.Rather than spending a fortune on foundations during summer months,I try to spend that much on my skin care routine so that my skin is glowing and fresh from within.Go for BB creams or tinted moisturizers and keep your compact powder with you,as the skin tends to get oily and shiny near the T zone and forehead.

Avoiding the liquid foundation

-Bye bye powder blush! I love cream based blush when it comes to giving my skin a natural blushing effect during summer. Because the powder just adds on layers while cream blush looks like my cheeks are naturally flushed.

Cream blush gives a more natural effect

-Less liquid liners,its a 1000 degree outside what do you expect from me!geesh I am human I sweat and the liner tends to get runny :( so I just avoid packing up my upper lids with liquid liners and prefer tightlining it and using a kohl pencil for lower lids and MASCARA.Yup water proof mascara makes your eyes look big and you look awake and happy.

Mascara makes your eyes look big

-See you later Glossy Lips,everything is really warm and sticking and glossy lips are the last thing I wanna do.I prefer really soft peachy/coral lip color which is moisturizing, as well as adds a pop.

Soft Coral lips are a thumbs up

-No more dark nail paints.I really avoid dark nail polish colors and replace is with fresh,cool nail colors.

Coral colors for summer are great.

Yes you need to replace all the cola,ice-creams and bad extra sweetened shakes and juices and go the natural way.I know you cant avoid these things a 100 percent,but you can definitely try to incorporate some of the good stuff in your daily routine.

Rather then always having ice-creams,you can make yourself some natural fruit slush.Its cold refreshing and dosnt have like 1000 calories in it.This way you can have a guilt free treat almost everyday and its super easy to make at home.Ting!

There are tons of ways to make it but what I do is I take some strawberries (you can take any fruit of your choice),put them in a blender add a splash of lemon juice,you can also add a spoon full of sugar if you like it on the sweet side,then add half a glass of milk,few teaspoons of water and blend it together.Transfer the mixture in a freezer proof container and let it freeze until it gets slushy.Just before serving,take it out and let sit for 5-10 mins.Volla you just made yourself some yummy slushy.

TIP NUMBER 2) DE CLUTTER!!!

Just get rid of all the unused,old,not gonna wear it kinda stuff from your closet and life.Yes that shirt we all know looked really hot on you 3 years back,but now you dont wear it.So gurl learn to say good bye and just leave it all behind and you would be amazed to see how much stuff you were hiding in your closet which you have never worn!! :O

So I highly recommend this exercise and once you have all that empty space in your closet,you can fill it up with all essentials you would need and have guilt free shopping trip.YAY!

Get a nice pair of sunglasses, its not really important to splurge on

really expensive ones coz the trends change really soon but also dont get that cheap stuff which might be dangerous for your eyes.Stores like forever 21 carry amazing range of sunnies every year ,just take a trip to the mall and I am sure you will find a good pair.Also on your list should be a cute pair of flip flops,some nice hair accessories to tie up your hair and make life easier while you still look like a diva,oh and a nice floral perfume for this season.

TIP NUMBER 3) PAMPER!!!

After all those tedious shopping trips and closet cleaning work we need some time off to relax and rejuvenate,summers really take a toll and we need to protect our skin from all the damage it goes through so just let your hair down and pamper yourself to some DIY home spa remedies and relish on some home-made slushies.

Thats all on this summer post.Lemme know your summer tips and tricks,I would love to read about it.Till then stay tuned to SPARKLING DIVA DIARIES.Love you byee.XOXO
