STYLE REPORT # 1





Hello lovely people!
                             I  just saw Sonam Kapoor and Anil Kapoor's episode on KOFFEE WITH KARAN SEASON 4!Today I am going to talk about what Sonam wore!

So I generally love, LOVE what stylish Sonam wears! But her look on the show dint work well with me!

Here is how she looked:
MARC JACOBS CREATION

MY TAKE: Sonam decided to wear a monochrome gown my MARC JACOBS.She wore it with chandelier ruby earrings( WHAT?).NO Sonam! 
DETAIL ANALYSIS: Okay! So the top half of the gown is something I like! But the other half dint really work  for me! That good girl hairstyle(yeah I call it that, dosent it look like?) and chandelier earrings dosent work for me!I would like to wear monochrome like how Deepika or Kareena did:
MONOCHROME with a dash of colour( not always a red lip) works WONDERS! I love how these two beauties wore outfit!
What do you think of Sonam's look? Leave your comments below!

P.S: I CANNOT WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK'S KOFFEE WITH KARAN!

NOTE: SINCE I AM REVIEWING KAAJAL STICKS WHICH ARE OF DIFFERENT COLOURS, ITS NOT COMPARING! ITS JUST CHOOSING WHAT I PREFER!:P

Okay! So lets start!

1. MAYBELLINE COLOSSAL KAJAL( BLACK)

Does this kaajal really need a description? I know, I know it dosent! But here is how it goes!

CLAIMS BY MAYBELLINE :
  • This deep black kajal creates smudge-free bold lines that last for up to 12 hours. Fortified with 5 enriching ingredients, Maybelline’s Colossal kajal not only beautifies your eyes, but soothes and nourishes them as well.
  • Here’s why you’ll love it:
  • • Has deep black pigments that deliver intense color and the blackest shine
  • • Color doesn’t smudge or fade
  • • Enriched with nourishing ingredients and Vitamin E to soothe the eye

  • PRICE: INR 175( 0.35 gms) 
  •                                            
  • WHAT I THINK: Well for INR 175, a waterproof, smudge free long lasting kaajal with an intense black colour! *PHEW* what more can I ask for? Its my personal favourite!

  • PROS:1. GREAT COLOUR.
  •           2. SMUGDE PROOF.
  •           3. 6 H STAY.
  •           4. RETRACTABLE SO NO WASTAGE.

  • CONS: 1. I PERSONALLY DONT REALLY LOVE THE PACKAGING!(EXCEPT THE LIMITED HEART VERSION THAT HAD COME IN FEW MONTHS AGO).
  •           2. ONLY 6 H STAY! I WEAR MY KAAJAL FOR LONGER!( WE ALL DO RIGHT?)
  •            
  • MORE PROS THAN CONS? WELL, ISNT THAT GREAT?
  •  RATING: 4/5( I CUT 1 FOR THE WEAR TIME ISSUES! PACKING UNLESS VERY BAD DOSENT COUNT!)


2.LAKME EYECONIC COLOUR KAAJAL!( GREY AND BROWN)

WHAT LAKME CLAIMS:

COLOURS I SWATCHED AT THE SHOP!







PROS:
            1. SO SO SMOOTH!
            2. GREAT COLOURS!
            3. NEW VARIETY!
          4. BROWN KAAJAL EASIER TO WEAR THAN BLACK ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE DARKCIRCLES!
            5. IT DOES STAY FOR TEN HOURS!

CONS:
   
       1. GREY KAAJAL WORN ON LOWER WATERLINE LOOKS A TAD OVERDONE (ATLEAST ON ME)
         2. CANNOT THINK OF ANY MORE!:P
COLOURS FROM THIS RANGE THAT DINT WORK FOR ME: BLUE, WHITE(LET ME TELL YOU SOME PEOPLE DROOL OVER IT! PERSONALLY, NOT A FAN!)

RATING: 4.5/5

AND THE WINNER IS..
LAKME  EYECONIC GREY!( Love,LOVE IT AS AN EYELINER!)
 NEXT ON MY LIST: DEFINITELY THE GREEN KAAJAL PENCIL!

SUMMER FIESTA! GUEST POST! #1

AUTHOR: SUMAN D.

Hey folks!
This is the first time on my blog that I have a guest post! A warm welcome Suman! Here is what she has in store for you!

The long awaited summer is here! A little before time this year but well for us, the earlier the better, yeah? ;) For all those who love summer, just like I do; this space is to watch out for! In my opinion “Summer is Divine!” It is that time of the year, wherein you bid goodbye to those boring sweaters and pullovers and welcome those days where you have the freedom of wearing whatever you wish! (How I love summer)
Here is a list of must-haves this summer:
1.     Sunscreen: This without doubt tops the list. It is a complete must-have because you don’t want to get a tan, I am sure!
What to look for? While choosing your sunscreen look for SPF and also how it feels and smells because you got to be wearing it every day.
2.    Sunglasses: Primarily designed as a form of protective eyewear but now also a fashion must-have for Summer 2014!
What to look for? A branded one, please! The ones on the road are not only tacky but also bad for your eyes, so please grab a branded one, okay? Ray-Ban and Aldo are my personal favorites.
3.     Summer wear: It’s time you wore those miniskirts and short dresses or rather comfort. For me, nothing better than shorts can beat the heat.
What to look for? Look for comfort. Wear things you like and you can carry. Don’t forget fashion is comfort. You don’t want to be pulling your shorts down every now and then when you’re out, it’s so not cool!
4.     Flip-flops: Pair of flip flops that will make you move around comfortably. Flip flops are as comfortable as converse or rather they can be called as ‘summertime converse’. Unlike converse they won’t make your feat sweat and later stink :P
What to look for? Again here, look for comfortable pair. Opt for funky ones and remember to distinguish them from bathroom slippers. You can have a look at many flip flops available at linking road and hill road. You never know, you might just get a good pair.
5.     Deodorant: Don’t even think of leaving the house without a deodorant. It’s a total must-have!
What to look for? A small deodorant that can be easily carried or if you sweat too much then a body splash would work better for you as it lasts longer. I recommend White Musk Smoky Rose from The Body Shop or any of the Nike or Adidas body splash.
6.     Cleansing wipes: After a day at the beach or usual daytime outings, your face would need a cleaning wipe to take all that dirt off your face and make you ready for yet another outing. (For I know, how busy one gets during summer)
What to look for? Look for a mild cleansing wipes which are gentle and help you get rid of dirt and grime.
7.     Haircut: Nothing better than a short haircut can help you beat the heat! A short haircut will help you stay cool, both fashionably and otherwise.
What to look for? A nice parlor, I would say. But wait, if you love your long hair way too much then even simply tying up your hair in a ponytail or a braid will do! For summertime hairstyles you can checkout Pinterest or YouTube some easy summer hairdos.
Sunscreen lotion, check! Deodorant, check! Cleansing wipes, check! Sunglasses check! Summer wear, check! Flip-flops check! Haircut, check!
Voila, I am all set for Summer 2014, are you?        
  
The first guest post was amazing, wasn't it? Post your comments below! :D


NEW TRENDS I AM OBSERVING THIS SEASON ! #1



Hey Fashionistas!
I have been observing certain trends this season! Solid colours and metal belts being one of them! I had first observed it on Sonakshi Sinha!

HERE IS HER LOOK:
I think she wore it well! The silver metal belt worn over the black peplum jumpsuit looks great! It flaunts her hourglass figure well!
I saw this look on other celebrities as well( Most of them in Nikhil Thampi creations)
PARINEETI CHOPRA IN NIKHIL THAMPI.
SONAM KAPOOR ALESSANDRA RICH.



CHITRANGADA IN NIKHIL THAMPI.

HUMA QURESHI IN NIKHIL THAMPI.

Kareena Kapoor Tom Ford The Style Diary Of A Bollywood Diva
KAREENA KAPOOR IN TOM FORD.
I think the idea of a metal belt over darks colours like black,navy,maroon, etc looks great! According to me Sonakshi Sinha wore it most elegantly!
I am looking for a good metal belt since long! The thrift shops on linking road and colaba do not have it yet!
However ,I saw it on one site called www.stylefiesta.com!
It is available for INR 820 on this site!
Have my eyes on it! But I am not sure I will be buying it anytime soon!(Atleast not till I find it somewhere below INR 200 :P )
What do you think is the latest trend this season? Do let me know!
