Kareena Kapoor Smokey Eyes!

     Hi lovelies! This is my take on the Kareena Kapoor smokey eyes. She had this makeup during a press release for her movie Heroine. I've seen these photos on Google for a while and I have been meaning to do a tutorial on it but I never thought I could pull it off. To be completely honest with you guys, I don't think I can pull it off but my mom seemed to like this look on me. Let's check out the inspiration pictures now:-

Beauty Haul!

     Hi lovelies! Today's post is all about my recent beauty haul. I have been shopping like crazy for the last two months and I have accumulated a lot of beauty products so here they are. I also did a video on my YouTube Channel so if you haven't already seen that, please go check it out.

 Let's talk about the only thing I didn't take an individual picture of. I'm talking about the RC Cosmetics Brushes. You can see them on the pictures above. They are a knockoff of the Sigma Kabuki brushes. I haven't had a chance to use them yet but I did brush them and they did not shed; so far so good. They do have a strong permanent marker smell which did go away once I washed them. I will have a full review video on them on my YouTube Channel very soon. So stay tuned for that. I paid about $15 for them on Amazon and if you guys are interested, here is the link:- http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Synthetic-Royal-Care-Cosmetics/dp/B00BX7DGIC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371000745&sr=8-1&keywords=rc+cosmetics+brushes



     Next comes the lipsticks. I bought quite a few so let's get started! I'm just going to list them for you because I already described them in my video.

 

From L to R:- Smashbox Fuchsia Flash, Illamasqua Test, Bite Pastille Violet, MAC Pink Nouveau, MAC Kinda Sexy, MAC Impassioned, Lancôme Rouge in Love Rendezvous, Makeup Forever #40, NYX Fig. 

 

    I bought some cream blushes from Revlon. I absolutely love cream blushes for the spring because they just give you a natural flush. If you guys saw my "Current Favorites" video you know that I love their cream blush in "Berry Flirtatious," so I had to grab some more! The packaging is so sleek and looks very high end.

 

The nude one is "Pinched." The coral one is "Coral Reef." The hot pink one is "Flushed."

 

    Since I have a new obsession with blushes, I had to pick up some of the blushes from the new Maybelline Summer collection. The two I picked up are "Coral Burst" and "Golden Fuse." Coral Burst is a gorgeous burnt orange with gold shimmer. Golden Fuse is a golden beige with gold shimmer. I'm going to use the latter as a highlighter for a bronzy glow. 

 

 

    The last makeup product I bought was from Sephora. I don't think you guys know this but I am obsessed with highlighters. I have a lot of them and the latest one is the Sephora Baked Luminizer in Light Beam. It's this gorgeous pearly white with gold shimmer. I have been wearing it ever since I got it and I love it.

 

 

Last but not least, the nail stuff!!! I bought Essie, China Glaze, OPI and Pixi. Here they are!

 

 

From L to R:- Essie Shake that $$ Maker, Essie Bottle Service, Essie Naughty Nautical, Essie The More The Merrier, Pixi Vivid Coral, China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy, OPI A Woman's Prague-ative, OPI DS Luxurious.

 

 

YouTube did not give me a good choice of thumbnails!

 

    WOOOOH!! I'm Done!!! This was such a long post! Sorry guys, I just had so much stuff. I hope this was informative! Thanks for reading. Stay Beautiful! xoxox

 

My Current Favorites!

   Hi lovies! I'm back with another post and this one is very important for me because this corresponds with my first Youtube video of my new channel! As you may know, I had a Youtube channel before titled "MakeupByRuru." I don't know what I was thinking when I picked that name because I felt like all I could post were beauty videos. In my new channel, however, I'm going to be posting up vlogs, beauty, fashion and cooking videos! I am super excited about this new channel and I'm also getting distracted so let's get back to this post, ma homies!

 

    Today, I will be talking about my current favorites in beauty and fashion. Let's start off with beauty! My first beauty favorite is the L'oreal Magic Lumi Foundation. It is a great everyday foundation. It has an SPF of 20 and it makes skin look dewy. I have oily/combo skin and it's great because it doesnt make me more oily and definitely covers the few dry patches I have around my mouth. My shade is W6 Sun Beige. My next favorite is the Magic Lumi Primer. I love this product because you can use it as a primer and a highlighter. I use this primarily as a highlither becasue it has no shimmer but gives you a dewy glow and looks like you are glowing from within. The last face product I'm loving is the Milani Baked Blush in "Coralina." The name describes the color of the blush perfectly. Absolutely love this blush for the spring. It has gold shimmer swirled into it so you really dont need to use a highlighter. Here's a swatch.

  
  The next couple of products I'm loving are the Revlon Photoready 3D Volume mascara and the Maybelline Falsies Flared Mascara. I combine them together to get the false lash effect. They don't flake and definitley do not make my eyelashes feel stiff. This is my Holy Grail combination. Last but not least, for eyes, I am loving the L'oreal Smoldering Eyes Liner. It is super pigmented and does not smudge on the water line. It's also great for smoking out any eye look.

 

     Now on to my favorite part; the lippies!!!! Kat Von D Liquid Lisptick in "Outlaw" and NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in "Monte Carlo" have to be my most worn lip products this past winter. "Outlaw" is a true red. What you see in the container is what you get. "Monte Carlo," however, shows up a lot more pink on my lips. My favorite neutral lipstick is MAC "Please Me." It's a great mauve-y pink color and its close to my natural lip color so it works great as an everyday lipstick. I have great pictures of swatches on my hand but not on my lips. Here are some of the pictures I took.

 

L-R: Outlaw, Monte Carlo, & Please Me 

   
 Here is a picture of the products on my lips. If you look closely, "Outlaw" has a blue-ish undertone, great for making your teeth look whiter, while "Monte Carlo" has a pink undertone.

     Let's move on to nails! I am obsessed with nail polish and the next two are perfect for spring! Such pretty pastel colors! The first one is Essie's "Bond With Whomever" and its a lilac color. This looks great on tan skin. The next one is from Nicole by Opi's Selena Gomez Collection called "Selena" This is like a peachy coraly color. Not the most flattering color for my skintone but I can't figure out why I love it so much. Both have a great formula. You only need two coats to make it opaque.

     The next couple of thngs is fashion related so I won't really go into details about why I love them. I'll just show you the pictures. Check out the pants, watch and ring!
