REVIEW & LOTD: MAC Paint Pot in IndianWood and a Valentine's Day Look

Of course you all have heard of MAC Paint Pots and of course you have heard of IndianWood as well... But you guys'll need to be patient and hear me out when I say that I love it and I very well intend to make you guys fall in love with it as well if you are already not ;) It is this gorgeous shade of Gold, which is less yellow and more coppery. It is an antique coppery gold with a smooth buttery texture, which dries up real fast and then doesn't budge an inch :) It stays on my oily lids like forever :D

GUEST POST: Valentine's Day Look and Tutorial

Guest Post by Bidisha

You all know that I have a giveaway underway on ISimplyLoveMakeUp where I will have two winners. One winner wins a GlossyBox and another winner will win three of my favorite lipsticks :) If you haven't entered it yet then worry not beauties you can still enter it here. As a part of one of the rules, Bidisha from http://glisteningkaleidoscopiceyes.blogspot.in has very sweetly done a guest post about a Valentine's Day look and a tutorial :) I wont introduce her to you all just yet, for that you'll have to be a little more patient and wait for a couple of more days ;) So over to her for now...

Hello everyone...

This is Bidisha here

I am so excited today to write a post for my adorable friend suma <3

So today i thought of doing an easy eyemakeup tutorial for you all

This particular eyemakeup can be done during day and is also suitable for evening !

In this tutorial I used sponge applicator instead of brushes.

So lets get started with the tutorial

Here is the step by step pictoral demonstration >>>>>>>

1.First apply concealer around your eyes to hide the darkness (if any)

2.Then apply a mauvish silver frost eyeshadow all over the eyelids (I used Deborah Milano Ombretto mono hi-tech eyeshadow)

3.Then apply a taupy/bronzy brown eyeshadow on the outer corner of your eyes (I used the brownish shade from Lakme botanica eyeshadow quartet)

4.In order to give a twist to your eyemakeup, apply a burgundy/cranberry colour eyeshadow on the transition area where the mauve and brown meets; don't forget to blend the colors well. (I used the cranberry shade from the Botanica quad again)

5.Then apply your favourite black kohl liner on the waterline.

6.To intensify the eye makeup, line your upper lashline with that black kohl liner instead of liquid liner.

7.Finally finish off the makeup using a good black mascara on the lashes ! (I used Maybelline colossal volume mascara)

And here's the final look >

I hope you all liked this eye makeup tutorial

On my face i just applied Lakme rose powder and on my lips i used my favourite Avon lip balm in cherry

Since this is an eye makeup tutorial i didn't focus much on blush and lipstick !

I hope you all enjoyed this quick tutorial...

Do comment to share your views :)

with love,

Bidisha !

REVIEW & LOTD: Revlon Luxurious Color Diamond Lust Eye Shadow in Plum Galaxy (Valentine Special)

With Valentine's Day around the corner and we already into Valentine's week, I can't help but like all pinks and purples and you will suddenly find a gush of LOTDs and Hauls with a lot of these shades. Don't be alarmed! It'll pass soon :)

Anyways, as you all know we had a Pune Blogger's Meet the other day and I picked up this newly launched sparkly mono eye shadows from Revlon called Revlon Luxurious Color Diamond Lust Eye Shadow in Plum Galaxy which is a gorgeous sparkly purple shade that is perfect for a special night out with your guy! Heck! It's actually perfect for night-outs with anyone ;)

The shade is a sheer blackish-purple with a lot of Purple chunky glitter in it. Chunky glitter? Yup you got it! Gorgeous but a lot of fall-out and difficult to blend :( Come on let's go through the pros and cons one by one and lastly see the beauty of the shadow and then make your own conclusions ;)

LOTD- Valentine Special!

Oooohhss And Aaaahhhss!!!
1. I don't even need to tell you how gorgeous the shadow is! It's just out of this world beautiful.
2. The final effect of the shadow on the eyes is simply mesmerizing.
3. They stay on for very long and no the glitter doesn't shed or fade away!
4. They DO NOT crease on me, which is a big thing cause almost every glitter/shimmer eye shadow does!
5. They feel very light no doubt.
6. It comes with a sponge tip applicator which is quite sturdy and handy for quick touch-ups :)



Ouches!!
1. Huge fallout :( I had to redo my under eye makeup :(
2. Because of the chunky glitter, blending and application too wasn't that easy.
3. One of the glitter particles fell into my my and well it irritated my eye so much that I had to wash-it off and redo the whole thing :(


Price
It costs INR 550/-


Repurchase?
I don't think I'll be finishing it soon but if they ever come out with a sparkly Green then you can count on me to purchase it! :)


Would I Recommend?
Yup! I would! Even with the fallout, I really find it to be very gorgeous and we don't really have a lot of choice of "sparkly" eye shadows in India now do we? :P So these are just perfect! And for the amount of shadow that you get I guess Rs.550/- is good enough :)


Overall Rating
8/10


Isn't it just perfect for your Valentine's Day outing? :)
