I Got Featured: The Beauty and the Cheap's Half a Page of Fame!

Lol! Was that title too lame? It was right? Yeah. WELL TOO BAD! Lol!
I am so excited yoooouuu guuuys! 
I've been in a total zombie stupor this month. I just sit at home and watch the X-Files, I haven't seen the sun  in a very long time! Probably getting rickets from the lack of Vitamin D but I digress!

I am seriously considering going out to the newsstand tomorrow and picking up the July issue of Cosmo!
BECAUSE I'M IN IT! Muahahaha!

By the way, who is the girl on the cover, Shraddha Kapoor? I am such a sad individual! I have no idea who all these Bollywood people are anymore! >.<
I'm SORRY!
It is a pretty cover though... Anyway, I digress again! 



Last month I got an email from Vasudha for Cosmo and she asked me if I could do a nail art tutorial for them and I agreed! I decided I would do the simplest thing there was to do, no drawing, no nail art implements, nothing! So I got to work and this is what I came up with!



Do you loooove it? Lol!
It was a lot of fun to do! And I hope you try it as well!
I'm going to go off topic again but do you see mah face there? It's like compressed! Lol! I don't look like me. ;A;
My grandma didn't recognise me! Lmao!
I'm still glad though, that I was actually featured in Cosmo. DAS COOL.

I was really unhappy because the day before I got the mail I had cut my nails, so they look all sad and stubby in the magazine. >.<
From now on I'm keeping my nails in talon like readiness! (Not really..)

Did you know, I actually did a second look too, for options? 


It obviously isn't as cute as the one they liked but I liked it because it looked like some kind of stone or tile. ^_^

What do you think about my tutorial guys? >w<
I hope you like it! 
Do check out this month's Cosmopolitan for more nail arts from Vanity No Apologies and Dr. Poison Ivy too! 
And thank you guys for reading my blog and supporting me!
I love you!!

All About Hair!

 Like a lot of you know, I just finished my hair styling course and as much fun as it was, I was not very good at it. >.<

I think the main reason behind me not being very good at hair was the fact that I had nobody to practice on! My sister who is my makeup guinea pig had conveniently cut her hair short and shortsightedly so had I (no pun intended!!)  

So I would get no practice whatsoever on an actual person, the only hair I had used ever was the hair on the dummy at class! And obviously that dummy can’t yell when I pull or burn her hair! Lol!
 Although I did treat her like she could most of the time, I panic at hair OK?!

hot roller set on le dummy

My worst subject was definitely braiding, I still haven’t managed to make the perfect French braid, I had bought a fake plait to practice braids on but that braid was super horrible! It was basically plastic and would tangle in seconds, not to mention you couldn't heat style it without melting the whole thing! >.<

Kick ass Victory Rolls! My fave style! ^_^ The angle makes them look huge btw!


Anyway, I wish my own hair was longer right now, I've always had very short hair as a kid, think crew cut! But when I started college I started growing it out, the longest it ever was, was in May before I cut it, it was down below my shoulder blades. *sobs*

Old/ Long Hair: Imagine longer than frame! Lol! Sorry, best picture I got!

Then I don’t know what got into me, I think it may have been the crazy hot weather because of which I was all, “Screw this! I need a haircut!” So, after 5 years of growing it out, I had snipped of most of it in 5 minutes, my hair now reaches a tiny bit below my shoulders.

Don’t get me wrong I love the convenience of having short hair but there are times I miss my swishy long hair too!
New/ Short hair: Just after I got it cut. It's more purple now than red. :D Also notice lack of eyelashes, what is up with that? O__o

 I've been so obsessed with getting my long hair back that I've been looking into hair extensions! And dayum there are so many to choose from it is actually crazy!
I was looking at besthairbuy.com and they seem to have some pretty cool pieces, plus they’re really cheap! And you know how happy that makes me! Lol! 

There were ones which were Brazilian hair; I've heard that is supposed to be good but they seemed to be mostly weaves, I think I would prefer clip- in extensions, just because they would be so easy to change! 
Plus unlike my gross nylon braid I can actually style them because they’re human hair! Lol!

I’m lemming a blond one, so I can colour it whatever colour my hair is at the moment! What do you think, cool eh? I might get one eventually and paint it all the colours of the rainbow!

Have you ever used hair extensions? What's your favourite hairstyle? 
Tell me in the comments below! ^_^

Thanks for reading!

Monday Mascara Review: Max Factor 24 False Lash Effect Mascara

I realised today that I am yet to do a mascara review on the blog! Blasphemy! >.<
Mascara is probably something I use like a staple in my makeup and I conveniently ignored reviewing it!
But enough is enough, I'm going to do reviews for the unsung heroes of my eye makeup collection from tonight!
Starting with one of my favourites, Max Factor "24 False Lash Effect."


Price: 
710 INR (although I remember paying much less! O__o) I got mine at West Side.

Packaging:
The mascara tube is big and fat, not unlike the Maybelline Colossal mascara. It's a completely black tube with pink metallic writing.


It's available in 2 colours, black and brown. I have the black.


The Brush and Formula:
The False ash Effect masacra's brush is super CHUNKY! The first time I opened it, the threat of me poking my eye out was very real to me! And I did manage to poke myself once or twice but eventually got used to it. 
The brush is one of those rubberised ones and looks super spiky and scary but the little points do well in separating your lashes!


The formula is pretty liquid and you need for it to dry once applied, because of it being so wet, it smears easily when applying so you have to be careful! It can appear clumpy too if you apply too much. Luckily not much is needed!


As for the 24 HOUR claim this mascara has, I have to say it is absolutely true! I've fallen asleep with it on, watched all kinds of chick flicks with all the crying, had watery eyes because of allergies but this baby has stayed put through it all!
That's why it is definitely one of my favourite mascaras! I always need to have waterproof mascaras and this is close to everything proof! Lol!
Even with cleanser, you need to work hard to get it off, this is a little time consuming but an oil based cleanser handles it well! ^_^

No mascara (curled lashes), one coat, 2 coats

Performance:
As you can see, even with curling my lashes choose to remain poker straight, and they aren't very thick... Okay, my eyelids are practically bald! But you can see how the False Lash Effect mascara transforms them into a thick spidery wonder land (yes, that for me is a good thing!)
You can see a little smearing because of the big brush but it isn't visible from a normal distance so I don't mind it at all!
I usually just do one coat, I did two here to show you guys how it looks! ^_^

So to sum up, awesome mascara, brush is a bit scary but effective! Super duper waterproof!
A must have for tiny negligible and straight lashes! ♥

Hope you enjoyed my short review, first time writing about a mascara!
What is your favourite mascara? Have you tried the False lash Effect? Comment to let me know! ^_^

Don't forget to enter my FACEBOOK GIVEAWAY! You can win a MAC lipstick or a Sleek palette!
