BEST HOLIDAY GIT SET EVER! by Urban Decay

Isn't it tempting to see a box FULL of eye shadows and not ones that because of its bulky size you are unable to carry around. How about you get to have an eye shadow set with SIXTY-EIGHT full size eye shades that can easily be popped out?

I sure am TEMPTED!

Urban Decay has made a break thruogh with their "the mother of lode eye shadow set" consisting of 68 full size eye shades. It also comes with a four-pan Build Your Own Palette making it easier for you to pop out the eye shades you wish to carry.

Though a bit pricey, it is an ultimate set. After this you wouldn't ever need to buy eye shades.

If you can afford it, it is a must have then. I cant wait to swatch the colors! 

Let me know if you got one! 

Ciao!

Soap & Glory: The Daily Smooth Body Butter

For me its a MUST to apply moisturizer before going to bed. Its my ritual. I love going to bed with that beautiful scent and my beloved kindle.

Not long ago I moved to Toronto for six months, there I randomly purchased Soap and Glory's body butter "the daily smooth". It retails for $20 here in the US.
It says it is formulated for dry skin and is amazingly effective. I have to second it, this thing works wonders and I mean it!
It is one of those products which doesn't makes you wait to show the results. You will get to see them very soon. The scent "Mist you badly" is extremely delicious, even my husband complimented.
It goes on pretty well and really lasts a long time. I actually feel that my skin IS moisturized. Having tried many of the other body lotions and body butters namely the Body Shop and Bath & Body works, I can very firmly conclude that Soap & Glory by far has the best body butter.

I will definitely be repurchasing it!

Have you tried it yet?
Which body butter is Number 1 on your list?

I heart MAC - HAUL!

What a wonderful day! I stopped by the MAC store.
You may now know why I am so excited. Yes, I am also a MAC-lover.
You wouldn't believe it but my very first foundation was from MAC back in 2009 and that too Studio Fix Fluid. Wow! I did make a good choice.

Coming back to the splurge I made at MAC.
Tada!!

What I bought:
1. MAC Mineralize Moisture SPF 15 Foundation
2. MAC Fix +
3. MAC Creme blush
4. MAC Mascara In Extreme Dimension 3D Black lash

I will be using these from now on wards and will come back with the reviews for all.

Keep smiling!

Too faced la creme lippy

I have been using or say testing the too faced la creme lipstick for a while now and thought Its à good time to throw in my opinions for the much hyped product.
As usual after looking at swatches and reading à zillion reviews i decided to get one. I admit the decision to get ONE was pretty difficult because all the 20 colors are just so pretty. I ended up getting cinnamon kiss which is a beautiful blend of brown and pink. its a definite must-have everyday color. 

It says that the lipsticks are hydrating consisting of white lotus flower and power pep tides  If you don't know what pep tides are, it is the amino acid found in proteins which help in cell renewal and regeneration in our skin. 

I think these lipsticks are ah-mazing, for they glide on smoothly leaving the lips moisturized and yes, hydrated. 
I feel my lips get better when I use it, no cracking and chapping.
I also believe these are great for winters, when you want a nice sheen moisturized feel and look to your lips. 
Definitely an "A" for these lipsticks. Going back for some more!

Have you guys tried these out?

For the love for Essie: Sand Tropez!

Essie has hands down the best nail colors among the rest.
And Sand Tropez is just another lovely sandy-beige color. I love how it looks so decent and chic all at the same time.

Urban Decay Naked Foundation

I am in search of a foundation for dry skin. Just recently I found out that Urban decay Naked foundation is much hyped about and is great for dry skin. Got a sample from Sephora yesterday, lets see if it works.

Keep coming back for a detailed review!

Review: Marc Jacobs Foundation

I woke one day to find a mail from sephora introducing the Marc Jacobs cosmetic line and it made me jump. I fell in love as soon as I saw that sleek packaging, though the eye shades and lip colors didn't excite me as much more and less everyone has the same thing but I did wanted to check out their pigmentation. One product that I really wanted to get my hands over was the foundation and with a wedding coming over in a few days, what would be a better excuse to get it.
So as usual I did a Google research and didn't find much reviews over the foundation as it was newly launched, therefore I had to go and check it out myself.
After using it now for almost 2 months, I felt obliged to write down my thoughts regarding the product.
My Views:
Starting with the packaging, its beautiful, very convenient and the pump dispenses just the right amount, though it is very pricey for such a small bottle.
Coming over to the foundation itself. It says that its brings clarity and radiance to the skin with it being a gel foundation. It has a very nice texture, gives light to medium coverage which is build able and in my opinion it is perfect for combination to oily skin. I have come to this conclusion very recently when because of the chilly weather my skin started to get dry and the foundation when applied showed flakiness. I tried it with applying argan oil first but it too didn't work well. It made my skin look very flat, dull and matte.
I think it would work better for me during the summers.
it is also worth noting that this foundation does not look good in photos. I wore it all the time during the wedding and i have no idea why I look so yellow in all the pictures even though the shade is a perfect match for me.
I would now have to go about looking for another foundation with a dewy finish and wait for summers to try this again.

Let me know if you have tried it and what do you think about it?

My first Marc Jacobs bag and Ebay experience

Very recently I received cash back over the purchases I've made. they accumulated to an amount that I could splurge on to something nice. SOMETHING I'VE BEEN EYEING ON!. 
Oh yes! i have been longing for a good designer handbag, a bag that I can use as a daily wear as well as formally too. Now Louis Vuitton is a bit too pricey and I believe in buying original stuff. I hope you understand what I mean. Anyways with $380 in my pocket, I happily started a search for THE handbag.
i came across Michael kors ( I already own a wallet and a bag), kate spade (didn't find much reviews and usability), Tom ford (didn't like their style a lot) and Marc by Marc Jacobs. I ultimately stopped at Marc Jacobs, getting confused over classic q hillier, classic q lil ukita and classic q fran.

Classic Q hillier is an MJ classic!! but for me as in a mommy of two i needed something more spacious. hence i dropped this one.
Next came the lil ukita, i loved loved how trendy and elegant it looked but again there was space issue so i had to cut that off of my list. But im pretty sure ill get it when my kids grow out of their diapers and snacks that I have to carry along. :)

Lastly, classic q fran, this bag i think is a perfect size not too big and not too small, a perfect everyday bag. 

Hence I bought this from Ebay in the color gunmetal. Since this was my first ebay shopping experience, I did alot of research but was still skeptical. But hands down my experience was awesome. I got the bag in time and at a great price. I am so happy with it. its leather is so soft and has such a luxurious feel to it. 

I would so recommend this bag to anyone who is looking for something spacious and chic whether for work, daily wear, going out. It has that perfect look.

Naked Palette Review

A palette which has created a lot of hype and is very much talked about "The Urban Decay-Naked Palette" is surely one classic piece.
I am no professional when it comes to eye makeup and all that i have learned is from my lil sissy :) or thanks to you tubers and bloggers!!..but these shades are truly amazing, whether you apply them alone or mix 'em up, they look great.

I may not go in to depth of what colors it consists of and how it looks because I really want every girl out there to put it on and feel the magic.
Last but not the least the Urban Decay eye shadow primer is a genie in a bottle. Rub it off over the eye and apply the shadows. it makes color merging easier, lasting effect without any creases and keeps the shadows firmly in place.

What are yours views about the naked palette?

Something to be shared

hey guys, this is my very first blog! so i wanted to start off with something that i read in "A new breed of leadership" by Sheila Murray. I don't usually read books that tell you how to make a difference but since my husband got it, I read it!..:). So here goes what I think is extremely true;

"The longer I live
The more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important
than the past,than education,than money,than circumstances,than failures,than success,than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance,giftedness or skill.
It will make or break an organization, a school, a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
We cannot change our past.We cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play the string we have. And that is our attitude.
I am convinced that life is10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it.
And so it is with you...................
Hope you enjoyed reading it.
Below is the link where we got this book from (its a must read)

Start of a journey....

Since a very long time I've been trying to build up a blog and every time I just fish out thinking I wouldn't be able to do it. I guess all the bloggers just scare me out. :/

Last night I had an urge to write down my feelings, interests. I just wanted to “Be Red um” 

Hence here I am trying to “Be Red um” which I suppose is the most difficult thing for all of us. All our lives we portray different roles from being a daughter to sister to wife to friend forgetting in all these roles that we should all just simply be ourselves. 

From the Ups and Downs of life to all other beautiful little things that make us happy and alive, I officially start my journey to this blog!!

Thumbs up!
