Apology

Hey guys,
So as ya'll have maybe noticed, I have stopped posting/blogging over here. And to be honest, I've just been really demotivated really to write anything. Like in the beginning I would just have ideas in my head all the time, but now it's just empty. I don't know if it's because of my studies and pressure but it's been hard. And I haven't been able to try a lot of products cause I'm mostly at home. And I just haven't had time. Like I have tried products but I just don't have any time right now. All of my days are spent studying, eating and sleeping being really honest. And I just wanted to say that I won't be blogging for a while. I'll be back but I'm not sure when. I will leave links to the blog on all of my social media if you are interested in reading my blog at all. And just to clarify, I will be active mostly on snapchat and Instagram, but nothing else.So I guess goodbye for now lovelies😘. 

Until we meet again.....

MARCH FAVORITES💕




Hey Guys,
So I know I usually do my favorites at the end of the month, but because I was so busy I had to postpond it. And I know it's April right now, but atleast I'm putting it up. So unlike my previous favorites, there are not many items in this one because:
1. I was studying a lot so I couldn't try some new stuff
2. I got a lot of makeup but I couldn't try it cause exams. 

So sorry in advance if this favorites post is really small, but I assure you that the next one will have many more products. So now without any waiting, let's get into my March favorites. 




EYES:
1.Chambor Eyeshadow Tri Pallette in Soft Berry 49:
I just recently(and by recently I mean some months) found this pallette in my drawer while I was cleaning it out. And the reason why I love this pallette as it has the perfect shades for an everyday neutral eyeshadow look. And the 2 shimmer shades in the pallette can be used as inner corner highlight as well as an highlighter for the face in general which is amazing. 

2.Maybelline New York Colossal Kajal Superblack:
Now when this came out, I was really wanted to try it out. I did review this product and if you want to look at it just go here🔽

http://thoughtsinmakeup.blogspot.com/2016/03/maybelline-new-york-colossal-kajal.html

But I really do like this kajal/eyeliner as it has a pretty decent staying on power and is easy to smudge for smokey eyes. 

3.Hard Candy Stay In Line Eyeliner:
The reason why I love this eyeliner is because it has silver glitter in the eyeliner itself which a lot of brands don't have. Its really easy to smudge like the Colossal Superblack. None the less, it's a really good eyeliner. 

4.Chambor Dazzle transferproof smooth eye pencil in the shade 107 Blue Dazzle:
This is one blue eyeliner that you must have. It's the perfect blue that will look good on any skin tone. It does not smear off, stays on for really long. What else could you ask for?

5.Maybelline New York Lasting Drama Black Shock gel liner:
When I first saw this product, I was really confused on how this is a gel liner? Cause here in India you have no products like this. So after practicing for a while, I finally know how to use this product, and it is a must have. It applies really smoothly, doesn't come off at all. Can do both thin and thick strokes. Just pure amazing-ness. 

6.Chambor Eye Art Pencil:
Now I really like this eyeliner because it's good for finishing up and smokey eye for a slighter more black look. It doesn't have much pigment which helps to blend the product around. 



LIPS:
1.EOS Lipbalm in Honeysuckle Honeydew:
I don't think there is anyone out there who hates EOS. I've been using this one for quiet a while now and it still isn't over yet, which is great. I use this mostly after exfoliating my lips, it leaves the lips cool with a sweet taste. 

2.Chamor Extreme Wear Liquid Lipstick in 431:
When Chambor came out with these liquid lipsticks. I just had to buy them, they are just so pretty. This red is a perfect red with orange undertones which is good for all skin types. I wear this one quiet often. It smells amazing and stays one for a really long time. You can eat, drink, kiss, etc and it will not come off. 

3.Chamor Extreme Wear Liquid Lipstick in 483:
I LOVE THIS LIQUID LIPSTICK. As soon as I saw this shade, I feel in love with it. It's a brownish-pink liquid lipstick which is perfect for summer. It works also as an everyday lipstick shade. The features are same as the previous liquid lipstick. 

(REVIEW FOR BOTH THE CHAMBOR LIQUID LIPSTICKS WILL BE UP IN SOME WEEKS TIME)

4.Colorbar Kiss Proof lip stain in 005 Pam Beach:
When I got this lipstick, I had a feeling that it would not look good on me cause bright pinks do not suit my skin. But on applying this, I really liked it. This lipstick is perfect for fair to medium skin tones. It stays on for half of the day and has a really sweet smell to it. 



FACE:
Nivea Creme:
I just had only 1 product that I used for the face and that is this. It's perfect base for a primer as well. This will work more for dey skin, but oil will also work. And a little bit of this goes a really long way which is great. 

NAILS: 
Now I've been hooked on Maybelline's Color Show for a while and these 3 colors are the ones which I've been using all march. They do not chip off early. Very pigmented and dries up quickly. The shades that I've been using are:
1.Orange Shade: Orange Fix 214
2.Lavender Shade: Lavender Lied 217
3.Blue Shade: Blazing Blue 706




MUSIC:
Now I'm not gonna lie, I have been listenting to ZAYN's new album Mind Of Mine since it came out. It's just perfection. Like after so long he has finally given what type of music he always liked and wanted to do. I'm just so proud of him right now. Is voice, high notes, ranges and everything is just perfection. The track names are given above. I love all the tracks of the album, but my favorites are She, Drunk, Tio, Befour and Wrong. 


Well there we go, my March favorites. Hope ya'll enjoyed reading this post. Again I'm sorry that it was short. Do comment down below your opinions as I would love to read them. 

Until next time....😘

DIY Lip Scrub Tutorial💋



Hey guys, so yes it has been a really long time since I have updated this blog. I haven't ignored ya'll at all, it was just that I had my exams and stuff so it was really hectic. But now I'm free so I'm gonna try to update ya'll as much as possible. I do have a lot of ideas in my mind so stay tuned. 

So today I decided to update ya'll with a tutorial of a lip scrub. Now if u are like me whose lips get dry with change of  seasons, this tutorial is for you.  This is also really helpful for people with dry/chapped lips in general. This happens a lot with me. Recently in Mumbai the wheather  has changed from winter to summer and it's really irritating. So this is a full home-made recipe whose ingedients you already must me having at you're house already. 


The ingredients you will need are:
1.A container to put you're scrub in
2.Oil. And I feel coconut oil is the best to use but you can also you vegetable oil. 
3.Honey
4.Any type of flavour that you want but in a powder form. Here I have used chili powder. 
5.Sugar (any type of sugar will work, just not powdered sugar)

For Tools you will need;
1.A bowl to combine the ingredients
2.A grinder. I'm just using the one I have in the house. 
3.A spoon(Obviously)


First you take only one spoon of sugar and add it to a bowl. Sugar is very essential as it helps in removing the dead skin from the lips. Now you can use any type of sugar that you want but powdered sugar. You either do all normal sugar, or normal as well as grinded, or all grinded. Totally upto you. I wanted tp experiment with both grinded and normal   So yeah. 


Then take another spoonfull and add it to the grinder. 


Now it maybe tiring, but u need to grind the sugar until it turns into a powder-like consistency. 


Depending on how much scrub you need, add equal proportions of both normal and grinded sugar. 


Next you nees to take you're oil. And add half the amount of oil as the sugar. For example, if you have put 4 spoons of sugar, so add only 2 spoonfull of oil. Here I'm using Parachute hair oil which is a coconut oil. And yes you can use this in the mixture. You can use vegetable oil as well. The reason for adding the coconut oil is that it acts like a moisturiser for the lips. 


And just simply add it with the sugar in the bowl. 


Next take the honey. 


And again simply add it to the bowl. One spoonfull is enough. The reason for adding the honey is that honey acts like a natural moisturising agent which helps to remove darkness, as well as keeps the lips soft. 


By this time, the mixture should look like this. But it's missing some spice to go in with all that sweetness. 


Now as a spice I used chili powder. Now I know that ya'll reading this are probably like,"Chili on the lips? Is she mad" , "That stuff can ruin you're lips" and all of that. But wait, hold up. First of all, yes chili powder can cause damage to the lips, but only if you use excess amount. A little bit will not harm you at all. And if you we're present when the Kylie Jenner Lip challenge was going on, to acheive big/plum lips, other youtubers/beauty bloggers who we're not a part of that challenge did use spices. Kaymen Peper was one of them I think and Chili was also there. So just make sure to use very less amount of Chili powder if you are even using Chili powder. You can use Pumpkin Spice, Bubblegum, Cotton candy, etc. 


Now with all of the ingredients put together just mix all of them till they are properly combined. 


Now just scoop all of the scrub into you're container. 


Now by the time I made this scrub, I realised that it wasnt enough. So I just did all of the above steps again. And also while mixing if you feel that the scrub is too wet then add more sugar, and if the mixture looks a little dry then add more oil. 

So I did use this and the consistency was quiet thick, but to me it wasn't that big of a deal. It applied really nicely and the grinded sugar actually went in the cracks which is good. 


As ya'll can see, my lips do look more soft than they were before. The Chili did make them look bigger. As well as the honey with the sugar added a pink colour to my lips as well. Also, after removing the scrub, if you use chili powder, you're lips will burn for a minute which is completely normal. So do not worry. 

ALSO:
Just to let ya'll know. Now this is the kind of routine that you should do every alternate day or after 2-3 days. Upto you. The day when you do decide to exfoliate you're lips, do it twice a day. It's not necessary to do it everyday for 4-5 times. Over-exfoliation can result in bleeding of the lips so just be careful. 

So here you guys go, that was my DIY Lip Scrub tutorial. Please do comment down below if this tutorial was helpful for anyone. Do share this post if you think someone else will be benefitted by this. Thank ya'll so much for reading. 
Until next time...😘

Maybelline New York Colossal Kajal SuperBlack *REVIEW*

 Hello Lovelies,
So I recently got my hands on the new Maybelline New York the Colossal Kajal SuperBlack eyeliner/kajal.
It says on the cardboard that it came with that i is 2X blacker in 1 stroke in pigmentation, stays on for 16 hours and is waterproof. It also says that it is ophthalmologically tested meaning that it will not in any circumstances harm your eyes.

  On the back of the product it gives some characteristics about the product, directions on how to use the product and how to get the ‘Colossal Eyes’. This eyeliner/kajal retails for Rs.300 for 0.35g of product.


The product comes with a cardboard packaging similar to the original Colossal Kajal but it is curved at the bottom. On getting the product out, it has a classic black eyeliner packaging. Very different to the Colossal Kajal which is yellow. Y'all know that I’m a fan of packaging so I did really get attracted to this product.













So as u can see in the above pictures. The pigmentation of this vs. the original Colossal Kajal varies only a little bit. It does have a little more black-ness than the original colossal kajal. On applying this eyeliner, it did not take one stroke for the pigment to get on my waterline. I had to give it 3-4 strokes for some colour to come on my waterline. On the eyelid one stroke was really pigmented. I did apply another stroke because I always with any eyeliner apply 2-3 strokes. So it did apply nicely. No creasing and no tugging on the eye. Although, because I have small eyes(also known as hooded eyes) and I applied a very thick layer of eyeliner, it did come onto my upper lid but you can always take some make-up remover on a q-tip and wipe it out.




So as I was wearing this eyeliner/kajal. The 'kajal’ part only stays for a couple of minutes which for me always an issue. If y'all have any good suggestions for a good-quality kajal, leave the names in the submission box. So back to the review, the 'eyeliner’ part tho stayed on throughout the day and it is really waterproof. It does not crease that easily whereas the original Colossal Kajal use to crease a lot and never use to stay on throughout the day. The only thing that I don’t like about this product which is also a problem with the original Colossal Kajal was that the product gets collected in the tearduct area. Also, at the end of the day when you want to take your makeup off, it doesn’t come off that easily so a little bit of hard work may be required to take it off, other than that it is a really good product.
So now, is this product worth buying? Yes it is. Even tho your paying Rs.130 extra, it is worth it. It stays on throughout the day, does not crease, does not irritate the eye and it just a good product all-in-all.
Thank y'all for reading this blogpost. It means a lot to me that you guys take the time and the effort to read my blog which is amazing. As always like this blogpost if you felt that this review was useful. To ask me any questions feel free tocomment down below. Other than day have a good day.😊😊
Until next time……

FEBRUARY FAVOURITES!!


Hello Lovelies,
So today I’m back again with a Favourite’s blogpost. Now obviously this is a February favourite’s blogpost. So without furthur waiting, lets see what are my favourite’s this month😊.
And just and fyi this time I’ve put Hair, Makeup and Music so ya’ll have much more products to look at.

HAIR:
1.Head & Shoulders Cool Menthol Shampoo
So for a really long time I’ve had a dandruff problem. And not matter how many products I use, it just comes back. But this shampoo works like magic. It eliminated my dandruff in only 1 wash. This is the first ever dandruff shampoo that for me actually works. And also since it’s cool menthol, it leaves ur scalp feeling fresh and cold. So 2 thumbs up from my side.

2.D'free scalp lotion
So if your a person who has dandruff problem. The Head&Shoulders shampoo is a must but the night before you should put this lotion on your scalp. One night before washing your hair, apply this on your scalp and wash it out the next dat when you wash your hair. It contains Sesame oil, Almond oil and Sodium Hydroxide and many more ingredients which give protein to your scalp and roots.

3.TRESemmé Keratin Smooth conditioner
This is by far my most used and favourite conditioner. So if you have read my January favourite’s blogpost, you will know that I don’t like my hair with a lot of volume, so along with the serum this conditioner is also a cure to that problem. And a bonus is that it makes your hair so soft.

4.Scalpine
This is a product which is similar to D'free but a little different. So this also is used for eliminating dandruff but also gives instant relief of the itch-ness. Unlike the D'free this can be put on the scalp once, twice or even the whole week. Like for example if you did not wash your hair and your dandruff is giving you a problem because it itches a lot. Put this on your scalp and massage it. This will also give protein to the scalp and roots.

MAKEUP:
1.EYES:-
a)Sephora Smart Eyeliner
So this eyeliner is the first ever curved eyeliner that I own. And the curve in this eyeliner is so helpful for getting really good precision on the lid. Amazing for thin lines and perfect wings.

b)Benefit They’re Real! Push-up liner
So the mechanism of this eyeliner was quiet interesting. It is a gel eyeliner in a pen form. A lot of people were amazed by this product so I had to try it out for myself. So according to me, this is an amazing product. It applies very easy. Stays on for the whole day and does not smear at all.

c)Clinique liquid eyelining pen
This pen eyeliner is one of my new favourites. This eyeliner has a really pointed tip which again makes it easy for good wings or thin strokes. This eyeliner is in the shade 01 black.

d)Chamor smooth-on eye liner
This liquid liner is my new favourite liquid eyeliner. It feels very different to the other liquid eyeliner that I have used in the past. Not even a drop of water removes this and it stays on throughout the day.

e)L'oréal Paris LA Palette Nude(Rosé)
This is by far my favourite(gonna use this word a lot) palette of all time. It has 10 shades which consist of 4 matte shades and 6 satin shades. They blend really easily and some of these eyeshadows can also be used as highlighters


2.LIPS:-
a)Estēe Lauder liquid lipstick in the shade 130 Bitter Sweet

This liquid lipstick is really pretty. It is a plum colour lipstick which looks good on all skin tones. It has a really nice smell, it almost smells like vanilla cupcakes. On applying it has a semi-matte finish. Very pigments. Amazing product.

b)L'oréal Paris lipstick in the shade 829 Resilent Raisin
This lipstick is a brown colour lipstick which again looks good on all skin tones.It kinda has a very candy smell. It stays on for about 6-8 hours and starts to fade slowly from the centre of the lips. Overall love this lipstick.

c)Maybelline New York Velvet Matte in the shade MAT7
This is a dark red lipstick which will look the best on light to medium skin tones.It has a cosmetic based smell Although on applying this lipstick it has a semi-matte finish but after you press a paper towel on your lips, it dries matte. Love it.

d)Maybelline New York Baby Lips in the shade Tropical Punch
The reason why I like this lip balm is because it is really pigmented and matches closely to the colour of my lips. It smells like a fruit cocktail. It looks best on indian skin tones(dark,tan). It stays on for 4-5 hours but keeps the lips mositurised

e)Maybelline New York Baby Lips in the shade Peach Kiss.
This is my favourite international Baby Lips. Smells very like peaches. It looks good on light to medium skin tones and stays for 7-9 hours.

3.MASCARA:-
a)Kiko Milano extra sculpt waterproof mascara
This looked like an unusual mascara to me at first but after using it, I’m in love with this mascara. The wand has big bristles on the front and on the end and small bristles in the middle. The reason being out middle lashes are naturally bigger than our outer and inner lashes. This mascara does not clump the lashes at all and helps the lashes to make them look long.

b)Benefit They’re Real! Mascara
This is a really good mascara. The bristles are so closely placed so there is no chance of clumping. It is waterproof and helps in volume and length of the lashes
 
4.SKIN:-
a)Clinique Superbalanced makeup teint
This is a full coverage foundation on which applying does not need a concealer. I’m in the shade 05 Vanilla. It has a matte finish so it’s the best for people with oily skin.

b)Clinique line smoothing concealer
This concealer is my all time favourite concealer. I’m in love with this. It does not crease and clinique has a very wide variety of concealers to choose from. This is also full coverage. I’m in the shade 09 Medium Honey.

c)Maybelline New York Instant Anti-Age the Eraser Eye Concealer
This was also a product that I have seen a lot of people talk about it so I had to try it out. These come in 6 shades. I’m in the shade Nude. This has medium coverage. It does tend to crease after 2 hours but other than that it’s pretty amazing.

d)L'oréal Paris Infalible powder foundation in the shade 225 beige
Now when I apply the maybelline instant age rewind concealer, it does tend to crease so I apply this powder foundation to set it. This helps a lot, so I would definitely recommend this powder foundation.

e)Clinique Superprimer
This is my all time favourite primer. It is really light-weight. Soaks up unnecessary oils and serves as a good base for foundation or concealer.

f)Colorbar Blending makeup sponges
I bought these a long time ago but go a looooonnnggg way. They come with 8 sponges but ofcourse of usage I had to throw 4 away. These are amazing. Blend all products without much force. Love them.
.
MUSIC:-
So again like last time, I will not tell why I love these songs cause I just do. They are listed in the picture above with an iPod
So there it was, my February favourite’s blogpost. Hope ya’ll had fun reading this blogpost. Please do give your feedback by leaving them in the submission box.
Until next time…😘
