June Favourites 2015 :)

It's just so crazy that we are half way through the year! This year just went by too quickly. I have been wanting to post stuff on my blog but I was having a writer's blog. Each time I sat to write about something, I would get stuck. So I thought of giving me that think to recuperate. I made sure that each time I had an idea I would at least write how much ever I could and continue later. So at this point I have a lot of post where I'm stuck midway but I'm working on them.

As you all know, I love YouTube and during the beginning of every month most beauty/ fashion youtubers post about their favourites. While I was watching those videos, it suddenly struck my mind to do one too.
So here I'm with my June Favourites :)

MAYBELLINE HYPERSHARP LINER

I love applying eyeliner but I'm really bad at applying liquid eyeliner and though I love gel eyeliner, I'm too lazy to wash the brush. So since a long time I have been using these felt tip pen eyeliners from Miss Claire. Maybelline New York is my go - to brand of all time and when they launch this pen eyeliner, I had to grab it. I use it almost everyday, and this does not budge all day. I have even worn it in the rain and it still way intact.

MAYBELLINE TOTAL CLEAN

Now as I said that the eyeliner does and the lip crayon don't come off that easily, this makeup remover comes to my rescue. It gets the job done in seconds, so I have not reason to be lazy to get my makeup off. Again this is an inexpensive product and also most importantly, does not make my skin break out into hives :)

PALMOLIVE AROMA MORNING TONIC SHOWER GEL

During my teens, I always loved using body washes from this particular brand. I don't know why I stopped using it. Around 2 months back, I rediscovered this much loved product while I was on a trip to Delhi. I reached Delhi and realised that I wasn't carrying a body wash and I was so paranoid that I rushed to the nearby supermarket and bought this one. I personally love this one the most because I love anything and everything with a citrus fragrance.

REVLON COLORBURST MATTE BALM - 225 SULTRY

This is my go - to lip colour since a while now. It compliments most skin tones and stays on all day long. Since it is matte, it does dry my lips so I prefer applying a thin layer of lip balm, wait for a few minutes and then apply this lip colour. This lip colour is a dupe to the shade that Kylie Jenner wears all the time.

RIMMEL LONDON STAY MATTE LONG LASTING PRESSED POWDER - 005 SILKY BEIGE

Now this is something that has been my favourite for almost a year now. I'm in the shade ..... Since the time I got this I haven't used any other pressed powder and have also got some of my friends hooked on to this baby. It glides on like a dream and doesn't give a very powdery or a cakey look. It's really inexpensive and you much give it a try!

SMITH'S ROSEBUD SALVE

This has been my saviour for the past few years now. I suffer from chapped lips as well dry patches all years long. Since I have to use a lipbalm all year round I'm always on the lookout for lipbalms that are 100% natural. This isn't a lipbalm, you can apply this to any dry patches and this product is simple wonderful.

Also, I got this long long back on my trip to Sephora (Singapore) so I really don't remember the price.

THE BODY SHOP TEA TREE SKIN CLEARING FACIAL WASH

Now this is something to which I have been committed to for around 4 years. I don't know how many bottle I have gone through. This face wash has helped me keep pimples at bay (not literally), I still do get a few but not that often. I have sensitive skin and this has worked wonders for me!

THE BODY SHOP TEA TREE SQUEAKY-CLEAN SCRUB

A few days back I went to buy the face wash and saw this scrub. This was a new launch and because it was from the Tea Tree range, I had to try it. I must say, it's equally good as the face wash and I love the combination of the two together.

MUSIC I HAVE BEEN LOVING !!

All these songs are old but classic and I listen to them every morning to feel motivated and happy.

Colours of the Rainbow Tag !

Hi Everyone,

icon smile My 11 Most Worn Statement Necklaces

How is a week coming along for you guys? I have been thinking of doing this tag since a long time! I love watching youtube videos & I came across this tag. Many youtube gurus have done it & I found it super fun. I don't have a youtube channel so I though why not do a blog post on it! So here it is...

RED

"RED" my favorite color & also the first colour of the rainbow. I am obsessed with the colour "RED". I kind of have almost everything in this colour so it was quite difficult for me to pick. I couldn't pick one as this is the combo that I wear almost everyday! Both the products are amazing! They make your lips super soft & add a hit of "RED" to your lips!

ORANGE

Clean&Clear Morning Energy Daily Facial Scrub

"ORANGE" personally I am not a fan of this color. I searched my whole beauty closet & only found one product in the color "ORANGE". But I din't like that product so I thought a lot & realized that I have a scrub in that colour. This scrub is best to use in the morning as it is very citrusy. It's smell really does wake you up. I personally love citrus smells, so *thumbs up* to this product. If you don't like citrus smells then you might dislike it.

YELLOW

Maybelline NewYork The Colossal Kajal

"YELLOW" again I am not a fan of this colour & i dint have anything in this color. So I picked up my favorite Kajal only because it's packaging was "YELLOW". I have been using this product since it was introduced & have gone through two of these pencils, currently using my third one. Love the intensity & staying power of this product. Lastly it is waterproof! I have recommended this to a lot of my friends & family members & they too love it!

GREEN

Kara Make-Up Removal Wipes

"GREEN" similar to "YELLOW" I dint have anything in this color so I pick up these wipes whose packaging is "GREEN". I don't have much to say about them. I only use they when I am too lazy to remove my makeup or if I am on a vacation & not carrying my makeup remover. They do a good job of removing makeup but waterproof makeup is a problem. Also sometimes I have a burning sensation around my eyes when I use it.

BLUE

Bonjour Paris Nail Polish

"BLUE" I have tons of shades of blue but this is the one I like in the "BLUE" family. I am obsessed with this nailpaint. I almost flatters ever skin tone especially Indian skin tones. It add a pop of color to your outfit & is perfect for summers & monsoon!

INDIGO

"INDIGO" is was a pain to find this color in my beauty closet. There is a slight difference between deep blue/purple & "INDIGO". But finally I found this eye pencil which I got from Singapore. I don't know whether this is the perfect "INDIGO" shade but this is the closest that I could find. I rarely use this but whenever I do, I always get compliments.

VIOLET

Max Factor False Lash Effect Fusion Mascara

"VIOLET" I really don't know the difference between "VIOLET" & purple. I find them to be same. I lost my favorite purple eye pencil so the only thing I had was this mascara in a "VIOLET" packaging. I use this everyday. I have never used a better mascara than this one. It does give a false lash effect. LOVE LOVE LOVE this mascara. That's all I can say about it.

PINK

Victoria's Secret PINK All-Over Body Mist ( Fruity&Bright)

Obviously "PINK" is not a part of the rainbow but being a GIRL you can never forget "PINK". I like "PINK" but I won't say I love it. But I totally say that I LOVE this body mist! This was a gift to me on my last b'day. It's a very refreshing smell & I feel every girl should own this.

MULTICOLOUR

That's ME at the Genting Highlands (First World Hotel)

Last but not the least is "MULTICOLOUR", I though of putting this pic of mine only because I only have one thing in "MULTICOLOUR" & that is my very comfy cardigan! You can pair it with any outfit & still look put together!

"That's the BEAUTY of Colours"
