TRAVEL BAG ESSENTIALS :)

   SO... all my sistas in travelling pants.. in this blog post i m gonna write about the absolute 2 loves of  my life... no no i am not having an affair ( but i like the way u think). M talking about my love for travelling and beauty essentials while travelling.

Yesss,am basically a Delhi girl :) but i currently live in Chennai..so this arrangement of my life makes me travel too much to and fro (no complain).

Well traveling has become such an imp part of my life but i belive in  DONT TRAVEL LIGHT..TRAVEL BEAUTIFULL...haha. so for all your next travel plans, holidays,weddings, visit...i got few stuff together and tips..hope u enjoy..read on..

So first things first we need  is a travelling cosmetic bag ... there are various cute funky options everywhere. This one is my current traveling pouch which i got from #lifestyle. pretty cool right!!!

FACE BASE:

1. SUNSCREEN: Carry a good SPF sunscreen before stepping out, a healthy skin is  the base for a good makeup. Make sure ur sunblock has SPF and PA++ . I use neutrogena sunblock which has both, it retails for 499 rs.
2. PRIMER: Use a good primer if u know u will stay out till long or use makeup. Primer makes the makeup stay longer with better results closing ur pores. I use the porefessional by benefit, it retails for 2700 rs @ a sephora store. choose your options from sites like #nykaa.com or #fabbag.com.
3. BB CREAM:  Next comes a good bb cream for skin tone perfecting, evens out the skin tone and moisturizes too. I currently use the garnier bb cream, it retails for 199rs for 40g.
4. SETTING POWDER: Seal in the base with a setting powder, matching your skin type. I usually carry my #sephorasculptingdisc which has powder, bronzer and a highlighter all in one. it retails for 1200rs @ sephora stores.

EYES:

1. EYESHADOW PALLET: I carry my too faced boudoir eyes ,eyeshadow pallet and urban decay naked basic pallet for eyes. its small, its compact and definitely travel friendly.(http://prettysouldiary.blogspot.in/2014/07/so-my-dears-there-are-around-zillion.html)
2. A good kajal which does not bleed like the mabelline colossal kajal in black.
3. My recent discovery- palladio herbal mascara for those fluttering lashes to brighten ur eyes while u smile. it retails for 550rs @ fabbag.com (do try).
4. And a good eye liner, for me its NYX super skinny marker.

CHEEKS:

 For cheeks my choice for travelling is NYX BLUSH  in shade cinnamon and BOURJOIS PARIS blush in shade rose de or. Both have very compact small packaging, so easy to just slip in the bag. You can find them @ nykaa.com, amazon.in and even flipkart.com. Bourjois also has its outlet @ westside and lifestyle stores. 

LIPS:

This is really important for all those facebook pics and wats app dp's. My personal favorite lip products to carry while travelling are..

NYX tinted lip balm

Bodyshop lip balm for well moisturized lips always.

Revelon colour burt lip crayons for they are amazingly  long lasting colour on lips and easy to carry.

and NYX matt lip creame in shade LONDON...coz i love matt.

do carry a lip gloss for that extra shine in evenings. (m not a gloss person).

OTHER ESSENTIALS I CAN'T DO WITHOUT:

1. Makeup wipes
2. My roll on perfume
3. Himalaya under eye cream ( u don't want to have puffy eyes in photos right? ).
4. A good hand cream.

 

Make your own list, I hope this was interesting to go through, grab the things which u think might be needed from the post, carry a good book and your stunning smile...n u r good to go PRETTY!!!




 

back to college..

  Once upon a time, back in my college days...no one came to my rescue, nooooo one...with very little knowledge about makeup and stuff..day after day I use to go to college competing with boyz... hahahah!!!
Now that I feel all fancy, thought to share some tips and tricks to make college dayz more happening and fun.

So  I dedicate this post to all my sistas and friendz who feel lost as I use to ... so girlz collect ur pocket money, grab a pen and lets go..

FACE:  No beauty regime is complete with a flawless complexion..and with the pressure to finish college projects, travelling, teachers, fights and all the drama it just gets a little tuff to pamper ourselves.
Trust me your best friend should be a good scrub, a BB creame and a face powder.
Select a scrub for your face type (oily, combination, dry skin), but scrubing once a week is imp.
But not more then once a week cause your skin is still young and soft.

I use a scrub from Soap and Glory which is available only @ Sephora, Delhi., the other good options are Body Shop, Biotique, Clean n Clear and Himalya.
REMEMBER the more natural or organic ur product the lesser the damage.

Every company is coming up with a BB cream or a CC cream...but the best one by far i recommend is the Garnier BB cream, blends into ur skin with no traces of makeup atall..n still hides the spots.

Using a compact powder or a setting powder is not so imp everyday to college but is quite helpfull in special dayz or functions... selecting the correct shade for ur skin type is very imp. I suggest Loreal Paris True Match, it retails for 990rs but last a long way...definitely worth the hype...try it to believe it.

GEMS IN MY BAG:  After u get that clear complexion, its time for everyday makeup..

Start with a good kajal which does not bleed, one such kajal is maybelline collosal, i have been using it since years now and no prob..stays the entire day without giving me a panda eye...u knw what i mean? hehe.

A dash of mascara for those fluttering lashes and my winner is yet again maybelline falsies volume express.

A coloured eyeliner now and den for special occasions, my best is NYX liner pencils,available at sephora stores and beauty sites like fabbag.com, nykaa.com, amazone.in, but there are a number of other brandz too..explore..

For cheeks again not suggested a blush daily to college but if u still want to look ur glowing best try a cream blush such as oriflame liquid cream blush. Try sticking to neutral shades of peaches n coarals..no pinks for day time.

Make sure u have super hydrated lips, u dont want to look flaky and chalky while u talk to cute boyz right?
bodyshop lip balm stick is amazinggggg....u get it in different flavours too. the other amazing option I discovered these dayz is tinted lip balms from NYX. unlike other sheer lip balms it definitely has a bit of tint to it with good hydration, specially for those who like a hint of colour...available @ sephora delhi again, and even websites like nykaa.com.

If u are a fan of lip glosses over ur lip balms then go for " I LOVE" lip glosses from fabbag.com, they are sheer, flavored and absolutely non sticky (hateeee sticky lip glosses). and for those evening out with friendz or movies dab on the lakme absolute lip glosses which have amazing staying time n a bit of colour too.

NAILS: Maybelline colour show nails paints are cute, small, colourfull, glittery and retails for 75rs...create a wardrobe of nail paints and mix n match.

LAST but not the least carry a efficient roll on perfume every time in ur bag for instant freshness anytime.

JUST SAYING: All above suggestions are tried and tested, u r welcome to explore on ur own, but happy if i could help...LOVE, ROCK UR COLLEGE N STAY PRETTY!!MUUUAHHHH..
