Copper & Rose Tones : Eid Makeup Look

Hello everyone! Last year I had shared a green eyeshadow look for Eid which many of you liked. This year's look is a bit toned down - more wearable but still with a hint of bling. 

I have shared all the products used for this look in my video. Watch it HERE. 

May the magic of this Eid bring lots of happiness in your life and fill your heart with love. We hope this special day brings peace and prosperity to everyone. 

Eid Mubarak!

Self Care While Working From Home : Beauty

All these years, an indulgent beauty routine and pamper was limited to the weekend (or off days) for me. I like to keep my weekday beauty routine quite simple, something that usually doesn't take more than 5 mintues. 

However, considering that most of us are presently working from home, and there isn't a clear demarcation between the days anymore (I am honestly losing track of the date often & sometimes the day too), I have been able to give more time to my beauty routine than I would have before. So, I thought of sharing the extra bits & bobs I am doing that are making my skin feel great - I am getting odd breakouts every now & then but those are mostly hormonal or an aftermath of food I am stuffing my face with. 

Reminder : Try and eat healthy!

My Current Nail Care Routine & Why I Usually Keep Them Bare

Here are some lesser known facts :

• I am not a big on painting my nails. Don't get me wrong. I do enjoy wearing nail polish, but I do it mostly on a day I know I am going out someplace nice or if it's an occasion. And I do enjoy painting my own nails - the process of applying polish is somewhat relaxing for me. But I don't see the need of having a nail paint on every single day. 

• I like keeping my nails short. I have a strong dislike towards really long nails - you know those which look like claws/weapons? I can't stand them. So short nails for me. I do like a bit of length every now and then, but I limit it to approximately 2 mm. 

• I’ve never been one for getting my nails painted professionally or get gel/acrylic nails. I understand why many people do, the end result is definitely nicer, but I rather make use of my stable hand & do them myself at home. It's more convenient for me. And I rather not have my natural nails disrupted.

I did try gel extentions early last year - BIG MISTAKE! It damaged my natural nails quite a bit. And that's with just one round. I shudder to think what would happen if I did it every few months like so many people do. 

Mama Earth Argan Hair Mask

Hello!

I just wanted to quickly pen down my thoughts about the Mama Earth Argan Hair Mask. Some of you wanted to know more about it after I had shared it on Instagram. 

I have been using this since 3 months (it's almost about to get over now) & here's what I think : 

Nudestix Nudies Matte Blush : Sunset Strip

I've always stayed clear of cream blushes. With oily skin prone to the odd blemish, it seemed like cream products would not really work well for me. But I am forever on the lookout for products that need minimal effort and manage to give a close to natural look. And so, last year I finally gave cream blushes a true go.  

My journey of cream blushes started after the Glossier Cloud Paints last year (more about them later), and once I had tried them I couldn't help but explore more. Quickly enough, I stumbled upon Nudestix. They have a variety of cream products in their collection. 

I am on a Low Buy journey for all of 2020 (more updates about it on our Instagram page), but I loved their easy multitasking approach to makeup. Their cream products are in a stick form designed to smudge in quickly & give a natural finish. Checks all the boxes for me!
