Winter Makeup



 Winter is the season to go very light on make up; you don’t want your skin to look patchy. Do you?     Dry skin just can’t carry off a foundation or a cake, while on the other side a compact will just make your skin look powdery and you the girl version of Robert Patterson (Twilight star). While you add layers of clothes on your body make sure you shed those layers of makeup. That’s the key thing this season. The skin gets very dry and flaky.
This season nude look is in. Flawless skin and little mascara, darker lips and a moisturizer completes this look. It doesn't get much simpler than this! A moisturizer and a body shop lip balm can be your handbag essentials.


Try Oil moisturizers, they are greasy but still effective. For example almond oil followed up by a nice facial steam. Bingo! You have the glow and the supple skin.
Cream moisturizers are usually white and penetrate into the skin when applied without leaving a greasy feel. As a result they tend to be more popular.
The basics like moisturizer and lip balm is a must. But why not be a girl girl and go a little beyond. This is the makeup you can don this season.

The nude look:
The nude look is by far the most appropriate look for winters. Use a moisturizer or if you want to glam up a bit more, go in for a soufflé, something like a Lakme could work wonders. It will keep your skin moisturized and make it a tone lighter.
If you have blemishes on your skin, mineral makeup is good. Follow it by a good 2 layers of mascara and a lip tint. Go in for a nice rich chocolaty brown like the’ MAC Lip glass collection’ or a shocking pink from MAC’s ‘crème sheen glass’ collection.
  Night out with the ladies can excuse you with some blusher, but don’t brush your cheeks with some dark pink powdery blushers. Use a cream blush instead, there are many in the market. Splurge onto them! Something that fits our pockets could be the Maybelline crème mousse or else try the NYX- Rouge cream blusher or maybe the Maxfactor crème blush.



Smokey eyes
 While summer breaks upon its golden glow, winters reminds us hail stone, longer nights, darker shades. Something like greys and blacks. This reminds us of jus one thing - dark Smokey eyes. This look is epic! 
Remember to keep lips light when doing a Smokey eye. Unless you like the Boho-chic look, you could go in for dark lips with dark eyes and bare it all daringly. The key to the perfect Smokey eyes is perfect blending of the eye pencil along with the eye shadow. Dark neat line on the eyelid and make sure to soften the edges. Play along; use a small sponge after you’ve applied the eye shadow and brush the thing upward. Make sure the dark liner is smudged properly and flawlessly. Last, but not the least the topping to the cake, a layer of mascara to complete the look.





Red Lips:
Like Smokey eyes, they are as sexy and as trendy. They can completely spruce up your look. Just by wearing a nice red lip color, you can look like a complete diva. Again not everyone dares to don it. But do not fear, winter is here and this one is D- hottest look. So go for it girl!







Natural Tips –
Nature best gift to you this winter.
Use rose water with glycerin in equal proportions. Rose water gives a stunning glow and glycerin gives that extra moisture to your skin. Making it soft supple and glowy!
Do not let hot water ruin your skin. Hot water can make your skin extremely dry. Don’t want to look like a half - peeled fruit right? Go in for Luke warm water. It’s the best and very relaxing.

Affordable Sleeping Mask – CUCUMBER & ALOE @ MINIMONO BANGKOK

Image
The other day I went to MINIMONO, the affordable store in Bangkok with everything priced at 60 Baht under one roof. I walked in with an intention to buy the quirky yet cheap products, but I landed up with my eyes popped out at this sleeping mask priced at 80 baht. A sleeping mask this cheap? No one would risk their skin, but I am here to experiment and share my views. Also, a sleeping mask with Aloe Vera and Cucumber. What could really go wrong with both the healing ingredients. So firstly, this product has the same fragrance as your HERBAL FACIALS/CLEAN UPS in Indian beauty parlors gave you. Oh how I used to love it, that earthy smell. The texture – who are the kidding? It’s not a mask mask. It’s a light-textured cream that can be applied as desired. As in, you can mask it or play around with the consistency on your face with a handful of it. Since it is feature- light, not greasy and not thick as all these MASKS claim to be. Minimono Thailand Smooth textur...

Chamomile Tea, try it!

Image
This must be my first ever cup of chamomile tea. Usually my office pantry stocks a variety of Twinings teas, ranging from green tea, to chamomile to Lemon and more... I, being a complete green tea drinker, usually never land up trying any of the other varieties. But since I had bit of stomach upset this morning , it suddenly dawned on me, I need something milder and little more soothing than a green tea or a coffee. After having 3 cups of chamomile one after the other, I still feel so light on my stomach and so calm in my head. Though nothing like a kick from the morning coffee, I must say it has amazing soothing properties. Look for the…..   After – taste it leaves in your mouth, it reminds me somehow of  soaked and peeled almonds, that’s one reason I couldn’t stop drinking it.As a child I loved the almonds soaked overnight, I still do, but I am lazy and forgetful, so I need my mommy to do it :D Aiding Sleep They say chamomile is good...
