see what i got in the mail - urban touch haul!

hello beauties,

something made my weekend ! i know the title is such a dead give away. this black box can make any gal happy.

 so i recently got my semester results and since i had scored good ( obviously better than my or my parent's expectations ) my mother decided to give me a small "baksheesh" . i was flying in the sky since it was sans any conditions which indicated i could shop to my hearts content . a big hurray to moms ! 

given my schedule , i couldn't go out of my hometown to shop. i live in a very "townsy" sort of a place. so buying my beloved makeup here is a big no no. i headed to one of my favourite online shopping sites "URBAN TOUCH" .

guess whats in the box !

i have shopped from there before and always have had fantastic service.

a few glitches here and there easily smoothed over by excellent, responsible and prompt customer service.

i agree its expensive and the offers or discounts are less compared to other sites but the black box packaging is versatile and tempting!

peek a boo

SO LETS SEE WHAT I GOT:-

(from left to right)

• basicare powder brush:- i actually needed a blush brush . but being the butterfingered me i chose the powder brush instead . i realised this when the invoice mail came. thought it was too late and what the heck, this brush is perfect for applying blush to my chubby cheeks ! 
• faces long wear pencil in forest green:- getting seriously addicted to these  Faces pencils. after navy i decided to try a different shade . after seeing a few reviews online , i set my sights on this. this is a perfect shade for pop of colour for college.
• nyx mega shine lipgloss in french kiss:-  me, a lipstick gal, was brought down to her knees by the power of the fabled NYX megashine lip glosses. its perfect as centre-of-the-lip colour to bring some dimension to the lips and as the name says " mega shiny".
• nyx powder bronzer in days of maui:- with my ulta bronzer broken, i was in search of a new budget bronzer. this is the only product i haven't tested yet , so will get back to you soon about it :)
• lakme perfect radiance intense whitening night cream- this has replaced my hg l'oreal pearl perfect. lovvvvveeeee it ! it is a miracle in a jar. if you want to know more do let me know in he comments below. 
• loreal superliner 24H gel eyeliner in black:- it has received the highest rating as the best drugstore eyeliner on various blogs. its a perfect addition to my a.m college makeup routine.

hope you enjoyed my haul!

see you soon.

love,

dark cave wonders - emerald and bronze e.o.t.d

hola mi chikitas,

back with a bang with a broken left hand. got my hand crushed in the collapsible gate of my lift.

a bad situation if you ask me . and i really will make it up for it.

so if you have seen the pics below you may notice that the eyes look different than they do here.

so they are my darling sweet sis's. she is a trained bharat natyam dancer and often does shows and the lot. so who's the makeup artist  "ME".

the pictures look wonky and with pathetic lighting because my dorkus refused to stay still and kept complaining that the flash was blinding her. also due to hurry some of the steps in between are missing. taking pics in a poorly lit green room is so pathetic. i do not intend the below post to be an instructional e.o.t.d but more of as an idea post.

she was wearing a beautiful black outfit with a green pallu and bronzy accents to it . so i decided to make it as the main colours . somehow the whole theme reminded me of an underground cave with jewels in it.

since my sis was going to be on stage for a long time . the makeup needed to stay put. i applied some concealer and set it with loose powder.

next i used l'oreal infallible eyeshadow in endless chocolat to intensify the colours as well as add to the longevity

i patted on a medium brown from midnight lustre trio by avon featured here all over the lid to help in blending the eyeshadows i added next.

i next added the black from the same palette to the outer v and blended what was left on the brush along the crease to give the eyes some definition.

AND this where the steps go missing . i added a dark green from my faces palette all over the lid . then i chose a lighter green and placed in the inner 1/3 rd of the eye . i took avon glimmerstick precision powder eyeshadow in dune and placed it smack in the inner corner . 

i lined the upper lashline with avon glimmersticks eyeliner in bronze glow and the lower lashline with lotus hypnotica kajal.

i curled her lashes next and applied tons of faces lengthening mascara..

AND THAT'S IT ! WE ARE DONE!

enjoy the pics ahead.

for the face i used faces rose gold blush and the lips were nude with colorbar velvet matte bare topped with a clear gloss.

hope you all like it !
