Rainy days...

I hate rainy days....I HATE HATE HATE THEM!!! And specially when I have my classes and they are giving so much work to do and we have to walk from one building to another and the road is crap!!!Yes, Pearl, Delhi has a verrrrrry poor infrastructure, to be very honest and clear...the buildings are scattered all over the place and you have to walk through scanty and dirt filled lanes to go from one class to another...Though I love my college in every other way, I hate this aspect of it...at least they should construct the roads so that the students can at least walk straight in rainy season....

About my outfit, I DID WEAR this to college...I just removed the hat and the loud necklace...I wanted to be comfortable while sewing, you see....those huge machines will kill you if your concentration is biased towards your hat...

Heads up

My bun seems to be very popular these days, I have had many readers asking me how do I do it and my new friends at college are also curious.Apparently, I would be giving them lessons on the bun and my makeup...which I love love love to do...yeah, another aspect of my personality...I give these lessons..ha ha! Obviously not formally! But yeah, my old roomies learned to make this bun from me and I gave makeup lessons to my previous landlady and 4 girls living in my pg...he he! I absolutely love helping people out in anything related to fashion and make-up with whatever little I know and have learned and mastered. I was not born with these skills but way to go youtube!!! I learned every freaking thing there!! Seriously guys, you wanna learn anything, search it on youtube, it's all there!! 

Which brings me to my next topic of discussion...Guys, I have been thinking of starting a youtube channel..It's really scary..And I'm not sure whether I should start it or not!! See, there are few things that you cannot learn by just seeing pictures on my blog, like making a bun, makeup tutorial, hairstyle tutorial, DIY Crop top, etc etc...I know there are videos up there already but I have my own twists to these ideas which I would really like to put up there. What do you all think? Should I do it or not?

Edit: My new college is giving me way too many assignments now and I don't think I will have any time to make videos...But thank u so much guys for the support!! Love ya all  :*

Review: MAC Impassioned (Amplified) Lipstick

First of all, let me confess....I feel stupid smiling at the camera on self-timer...Hats off to the bloggers who do it with so much poise! Nevertheless, I will keep practicing till I master the art.Wish me luck!


I have a story behind this lipstick, I wanted a hot pink lippie since March and I wanted "Girl About Town" or "Hot Pink" by NYX...One day my sister who lives in Mumbai went to NYX counter.She asked me if I wanted anything and I asked her to check if Hot pink was available having very thin hopes (I have been to that store in Mumbai and they DO NOT HAVE a good collection) but coincidentally, Hot Pink was available and being over excited, I asked her to get it for me.When I received the lippie, I was even happier coz the color was exactly what I wanted. After few days of gloating over it, I finally used it one day. And I WAS DISSAPOINTED!! The color was so sheer and too neon!!!! Even on applying 3-4 coats, the color kept sliding on my lips...ugggh! Now I desperately wanted Girl About Town but since I was at my hometown, there was no MAC store available. But as soon as I reached back to Delhi, I rushed to a MAC Counter to buy Girl About Town but when I tried it on, it somehow didn't look good on me! I guess, it was too blue toned for my skin type. I was sooooo dissapointed but then the SA offered me Impassioned, I was still upset and half-heartedly tried the lippie and OMG!! This was the color!!! The perfect hot pink!!!! I bought it without any second thoughts and mahn, I am glad I did!After a month, I still can't get enough of it!he he...

Okay now, onto the review.....

MAC Impassioned Lipstick is a full on Amplified Creme Lipstick and gives a very opaque finish in one swipe.
MAC describes it to be Amped-up fuchsia and I agree with this description. It is bang-on the trend of fuchsia pink lips!




Price - Rs.990/-

What I like about this lipstick:
- The color!!! Perfect hot pink...!!!
- Quite moisturizing, I do not apply any gloss over it.
- Long Lasting...well, it's MAC so, OBVIOUSLY!
- The color do not budge at all, even if it fades, it leaves a strong tint.
- No need to apply any lip liner underneath.
- Color pay-off is amazing!and buildable...

What I don't like about this lipstick:
- well. NOTHING :P

Swatches: Left - 1 swipe, Right - 3 swipes

Lip Swatch

I feel my camera is not doing justice to the color...so click HERE for a more accurate swatch.Yes, that's how neon this lippie is!!!
