One of my favorite accessories is a watch. A nice elegant watch can dress up any outfit and a stylish chunky watch can add drama to any evening out. The latest trend in watch is a bracelet style which is rather chunky with a large dial.

Some of my favorite ones are

DKNY Women's Watch, Stainless Steel Bracelet. Available at macys.com
$175




GUESS Watch, Women's WaterPro Chronograph White Enamel Bracelet. Available at macys.com
$125





Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch. Available at guess.com
$85

I know this is a beauty blog but I had to post about this. The newest product from Apple is the gadget called "ipad".... hmmss... really Apple??

There was much anticpation about this product. It is like a much bigger and flatter iphone. All the Apple applications will run on this and they claim it will "revolutionlise" the digital publishing. I think Amazon's Kindle might be in trouble because of this. It also claims to be a haven for gamers.

Starting at $499 it is quiet affordable for what it is.

For more information check out active bloggers and ofcourse apple.com


:) Enjoy!!

One of the eye shades from the MAC Pro line which has been bought to freestanding stores is the eyeshadow called 'Lucky Green'. It is in the finish Veluxe Pearl. It is an awesome bright green color which great payoff.

I was so excited when I received the invite in the mail today. I almost never get any post cards or anything from MAC so this is a real keeper for me... i know I would could as a really sad person outside the makeup world :)

Anyhow, the event is on 2nd Feb. Cant wait for the launch and the fact that I can see and buy products before it hits the market. :)






My favourite item:

Blush Ombre in Azalea Blossom

Another beautiful color from the OPI range carried in Sephora is the "Call Your Mother". It is a mauve lavender color, probably in the same color family as 'Metro Chic', 'Under My Trench Coat' etc.

However this one is brighter and has a lot more purple tint to it.

I applied two coats and Seche Vite as the top coat.
The texture is smooth and creamy and it is absolutely gorgeous for office or going out look. :)

It is available at sephora.com and Sephora stores.

The newest palette from Urban Decay is the one inspired from Tim Burton's new movie called "Alice in Wonderland". It is now available for sale at urbandecay.com

There are a few reviews on youtube about this palette. From what I have heard, there are quiet a few repeats in this if you already have the Book of Shadows I and II.

Urbandecay.com describes it as

"Alice in Wonderland: 16 Eyeshadows: Underland (Flash), Alice (Painkiller), Oraculum (Baked), Queen (Last Call), Chessur (Chopper), White Rabbit (Polyester Bride), Wonderland (Maui Wowie), Curiouser (Grifter), Muchness (X), Mushroom (Mushroom), Midnight Tea Party (Midnight Cowboy Rides Again), Vorpal (S&M), Absolem (Homegrown), Drink Me Eat Me (Sin), Mad Hatter (Twice Baked), Jabberwocky (Oil Slick). PLUS Travel-size 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Zero and Flipside, and Eyeshadow Primer Potion (travel size)."

It is priced at $52 ... yikes...

But specifically for Alice in Wonderland fans and makeup addicts in general, grab it while you can!! :)

UPDATE: The palette is available for sale at Ulta and sephora stores and online too .. check it out at sephora.com and ulta.com

Enjoy!!

I am very very excited about the Barry M Dazzle dusts. One of my cousins living in uk sent me these and I just cant wait to try each and everyone of them.

With the new change in pigment packaging that MAC has made (why MAC... why!!!), I am glad I got these. I think they are very affordable... however, not yet available in USA. However, you can order directly from the Barry M website and they do ship internationally.

I promise I will put up swatches of each one of them very soon!!

I have never been into lipsticks. However, my recent purchase of YSL Rouge Volpute has blown me away. The texture is creamy and lipstick just glides on. It is very pigmented.

However, it is not very lasting and has a price tag of USD 34.

It is available at YSL website and all leading department stores. I bought number 20. YSL describes it as spicy pink. It is a shade of deep pink and looks absolutely stunning. Here are the pictures and swatches.
