NEW IN! Strawberrynet + Repurchases


I feel like it's been ages since I bought myself any makeup, because really, it has! I've been buying stuff for my kit - which ofcourse I get to try out, but it's not really mine, y'know? Having said that, I did a bit of makeup shopping recently...
... One fine day, I woke wanting to try some new products. Since I was in the market for a new bronzer, I looked around the usual sites that ship to India.. Beautybay, Luxola etc. By chance I popped onto strawberrynet, when they were having a 30% off sale, and I picked up these gems.
The Bare Minerals Bronzer in The Deep End because Aditi claims she likes it more than NARS Casino (my favorite)... theBalm's Mary-Lou Manizer - I've heard too many people rave about this, and for INR 1400, I just HAD to try it.
Lastly, a new primer... I hadn't heard too many reviews about the Bare Minerals Prime Time Brightening Primer, so I thought I would give it a go... because glow + me = win. It also happened to be priced at INR 1200. Can't go wrong with that, can I? Ofcourse, reviews of all of this coming soon!

As for the repurchases ... Bobbi Brown Corrector in Dark Peach and MAC Prolongwear Concealer in NC42 as I use those two every day!

Have you bought anything new lately?

My Lips in a Tube - MAC Twig!



You probably know the drill by now, I don't post often enough, i apologize and promise to be more regular - when I do post, I get all sad because there aren't any comments and sigh like a loser. But I'll stop. Because really, I write this blog for me and to share my love of makeup with other people.

Today's post isn't all that new or original, but it's a new find I'm in love with. I've been into the whole nude lip trend offlate - I'm all about 'em sultry bronzey eyes and nude lips (pretty much my staple makeup).. so imagine my surprise when I realized I only had one nudeish colour. Off to MAC I went, hoping to pick up Mehr, which seemed like the kind of pinkey nude I would like... but along the way, I met MAC's Twig... and it was love at first swatch.
MAC describes it as a "soft muted brownish-pink" which is pretty spot on in my opinion. It is literally the colour of my lips. So when I wear this, they look all even and pretty. Being a Satin Finish, it's comfortable to wear, but I like to put on my lipstick, blot it, put it on again, blot it and repeat a few times to it really settles and forms a nice little stain. It lasts about 3 hours on me and an extra 3 as a stain.

FYI, It costs INR 1495 (Yes, my wallet cries)

What do you think?
