My Fragrance History.

We have just celebrated India's 71st Independence Day together and this year I was a part of a campaign at Plixxo , country's largest influencer marketing platform, powered by POPxo . The campaign aimed at celebrating Independence Day in our own ways - like creating a makeup look, or clicking pictures, showcasing photography skills, or may be even coming up with another creative idea of your own. I would like to thank Plixxo and POPxo for making me a part of their campaign. Although I couldn't make it to the Top 20 but it was definitely a fun experience altogether ! I chose to create a makeup look out of all the options, which was quiet a challenging task as I haven't really tried anything bold like this before. Trust me, I loved creating this look and the results were quiet satisfying. I would quickly share the breakup of the look without mentioning the brand and the product code now. I would like you to take a look on the process first and go through the names of t...

Hello my lovelies!😘 I am so sorry that I haven't posted anything for so long and I had to keep you all waited for my new blogpost but yeah, I wanted to post something different which isn't an everyday makeup look that you see here. I know heavy smokeys and bold lips are really tough to deal with but carrying them with ease is what the key really is, I believe! Coming back to this look : I will list down the products below that I have used but before that, I would like to explain the technique first, which is the most important thing to follow. ☺ Process : Priming the face first gives one an even skin tone and makes the skin ready for the base makeup. This is followed by the foundation which I do not use it often unless it is a heavy party look as shown here. I use a sponge to blend that onto my skin and pat where required. Next is the concealer. I have concealed my under eyes and the required areas that needed concealing. Next is the setting of the base makeup. I have set ...

Hello everyone! :) I hope things are all good with you. I have been going through a lot of work lately so I haven't really got the time to write some microtales or blogposts that could possibly reduce my stress levels but yes, thank god workouts and music existed, or else I wonder what would have happened ! Today, I will be sharing the breakup of a makeup look that I dolled up recently for a family gathering. I have used all the products from Lakme. I will be sharing the shopping links along with the products that I will be sharing and I am sure many of you already own some of them because Lakme has always been my favourite and it has always amazed me with their quality cosmetic ranges. Sharing the breakup quickly : 1. Lakme CC Cream . CC creams stand for Complexion Care creams. And Lakme has the best, because it suits me. I use it in the shade 'Beige' and I think it pretty much camouflages my light facial spots and other marks. It evens out my skin and makes it ready f...

Hello girls! Summer is here and it is making everyone indulge in juices and high water intake. I think it is a very good habit as liquids tend to flow out easily in summers and it is even more important to add them to the system to balance the health. Similarly, it is very much important to take care of your makeup vanity case and the essentials for the skin and body. The makeup essentials should be carried, mainly based on its consistency and staying power. My vanity case is pretty simple. Sharing few of my favourites along with pictures for a better understanding.  1. Lakme Skin Tints Souffle : It is a liquid foundation which is lightweight and not too much cakey on the skin. It evens out the skin and doesn't make it rough or dull. 2. Oriflame Optimals Lighten & Brighten Serum : Its my skin life booster. I swear on it after my shower. I use it on a regular basis only for my face and neck area as because it gives a semi-oily look to the skin without being oily itself. It...

Its been a crazy week so far and I have been enjoying the weather here in Kolkata after the scorching summer heat - as it is raining ! The temperature levels have lowered down and the bengal population is in relief now. Like, a lot more. I haven't posted anything about sharing a look and a breakup of the makeup lately. So, I thought, maybe I can write about Smokey eyes that most women find difficult to create. It is a very easy procedure but following the technique is the most important task here. And when it comes to pairing a smokey eye with a hot red lip, a bong can never go wrong with the whole look. Let us read some more. Smokey eyes and red lips - The classic timeless look that has got no definition. Smokeys and red lips are a classy combination that suits almost all Indian skin tones. The correct trick is to attentively blend the colors, understand the shape of your eyes, using good makeup brushes (most importantly, correct shapes of brushes) and knowing the art of blending...

I would love to tell you how. Makeover Madness is basically, a facebook group that concentrates mainly on cultivating the progress of a woman, by guiding one, through a 'Makeover Session' and letting her identify the confidence in her and to make her aware, how flawless and beautiful she is naturally, doesn't matter if she already has flaws, but every woman is beautiful in their own ways.

I have my entire world inside my handbag. Yes ! The entire world ! And I am sure all women will agree to this. Today I am going to tell you about the things which I usually carry in my handbag. I know and understand how much important it is for women, to take care and pamper herself. We have so much of love for touch-ups, a lipstick and winged eyes, don't we? Women nowadays are busy bees, but still they manage to go strong even after taking care of all the household chores, work, family, kids. I personally love women who are particular about everything, is disciplined and also takes very good care of herself. I feel, if you can take care of your family, with so much care and dedication, you can take care of yourself too. For that, she has to have all her necessary secret ingredients that she must be needing for her everyday use. My friends who know me personally also know how badly I love makeup. I can survive without my cell phone for a day, but not without makeup. I always c...

A Business Management Graduate, pursuing Chartered Accountancy, who also happens to be an extreme Makeup Enthusiast, is a rare combination! If one asks me how, then I would readily say - It happened, just like a piece of cake! Again, How? Like seriously, HOW? OKAY. JUST! I have always loved Makeup and experimenting with colours. But, never really had the nerve to explore the depth of it. Nevertheless, much credit goes to the Facebook Group called 'Makeover Madness. Its about what suits You.' Founder, Sreenanda Shankar who is a Dancer, an Actor and a Makeover Consultant, started just like that - three years ago. Now, Makeover Madness has more than 15K+ members and gives makeovers ocassionally at the Makeover Madness Studio, Kolkata. I am a tory follower of Makeover Madness for over three years and few months now, and I am still learning. I have been quite fascinated by Makeup - as in how much other women wear, which are the colours that they choose and how they apply it. ...
