Oh hello February, you little beaut of a month. Aren’t you just cracking? But it’s not just romance that I’m thinking about; the seasonally apt makeup for the month has to be one of my favourite selections of the year. Red lips, rosy cheeks, shimmery peepers and bold just about anything; there’s the one and only occasion to get makeup planning for: Valentine’s Day – just one day provides more than enough justification that a beauty bag shakeup is required. So here’s what I’ll be shifting to the top of my makeup pile for the next 28 days.
Sayonara, winter! Spring is upon us and the electric oranges and palm tree greens are calling my name. So I thought I’d weigh in on my favorite polishes to wear this season, and ask my the age old question: “Is there such a thing as Millennial Lavender?”
I’ve stumbled across an influx of new lipsticks recently. A whole load of colours and in a whole load of textures. So today I’m breaking the new offerings down for all budgets and all lipstick preferences. Need I say anymore…
Today I bring you a rifle through one of my best friend’s makeup bags. Presenting: Mrunmayee. We met in college at the grand age of 19 and we’ve always been bonded over our love of makeup (Mrunmayee was a L’Oreal Glam Shine Gloss gal back in the day). Now an Account Head, she’s my one friend that shares my passion for Sephora and the aisles of Beauty Center, regularly messaging me over pictures of her latest beauty purchase. She’s also a bold lip babe, a liner lover and likes a good dose of blush. Here’s how the contents of her daily makeup bag shapes up…

If you put down your beloved Urban Decay Naked palette for just a second, you will see that there are ways to add a hint of color to your beauty look that won’t make you look like a Nicki Minaj wannabe and without searching too high or low, with a brand that has been around here since ages: Lakme. And putting on red lipstick isn’t the only option. Want to rock a some colour, but don’t know where to start? I have just the ticket for you…
This week I thought I’d set myself up as the subject of an experiment that consisted of two parts. One – take a picture every day. Simple. Two – wear five different eye shadow looks throughout the week. No repeats. Now that second brief is a little tougher. Here are the results; take a peek into my eye shadow diary for the past week…
One of the best bits of delivering a daily dose of beauty stuff to you guys is the messages that I get after each post. Witty, intelligent and always hilarious. It’s nice to see makeup mavens flock together and share our passion for copious amounts of lipsticks, MUJI storage and the newest ‘OMG, HG, need-it’ products. Case in point, last week’s ’10 Signs You’re a Beauty Addict’ post which had me belly-laughing for a full five minutes while taking in all the messages. Some were just too good not to share, so here’s a selection of my favourite beauty addict anecdotes:
