Like many others, you may prefer lip glosses over lipsticks. Most of us look for a gloss that’s non-sticky and moisturizing, and for making things easy for you, I have come up with some of the best glosses of the world that you can safely invest in.

Christian Dior Creme de Gloss: This gloss from Dior is extremely useful when you are looking for lip balm, rather than a gloss. The creamy texture and easy to carry style of this gloss makes it a hot favorite among fashion lovers. This gloss stays on your lips for a long time and has been priced in a small quote of $25, which is way too good for a brand like this.

L’Oreal Paris Infallible Never Fail Lipgloss: L’Oreal is a brand that’s known for being a favorite among fashion lovers and makeup artists alike. It has a well devised formula that lasts for a long time, which makes it one of the must-haves in your makeup kit.

Aveda's Nourish-mint Rehydrating Glaze: This gloss is perfect for you when you are looking for all three-color, shine and plump. Amy Astley, who is the Vogue Teen editor, endorses this one. The colors are many, and you can be neutral and bold as you want with ample choices in hand.

NOTD: The Eid Kaleidoscope

Tomorrow's a happy happy day. It's EID ladies. Which mean lots of eidi (my pocket has been feeling low lately), grand foody dishes (I can hear my tummy rumbling already), new dresses (every girl's paradise) bangles and mehndi hands. Aah! Eid Mubarak y'all. ♥
And...painted nails, how can I forget that? I feel really flamboyant this Eid so that's why you can see lots of bright colours in my nail mani below. This is an eid nail mani, which I am posting today. 


I was very, very impatient while creating this :( So you can see some bubbles because I didn't let my base coat dry. Also the index finger is the closest to the real design. Maybe I will be re-doing this on my nails for tomorrow. But am not in a mood to take some nail shots again. Perhaps, you will see a tutorial on it soon.
I have used  Flormar Nail Enamel in No.370 and Neon Elixir, Neon Pink, Neon Blue and Hot Red by Color Studio Professional plus a dotting tool by Born Pretty Store.

 
Well, then what do you think of this?

What are your Eid plans for tomorrow? What are you wearing guys?

How To Use Pale Lip Colours


Forgive me for the sorry state of these lip colours :/ 
Time and again we all make the mistake of accidentally or purposely buying pale lip colours that make us look ashy. Most of them then sit idle in our vanity cases, all love for them lost. I purposely bought the Etude Aqua Rouge Lipstick in BE806 (on the left) and misled by internet swatches purchased Sleek Pout Paint in Milkshake (on the right). The Etude one failed to be the nude I dreamt of and the Pout Paint never managed to look even remotely flattering. I was more shattered by the latter because it was a total waste of 1000 bucks (yes, I bought when it was the most expensive). Besides the obvious, mixing pout paint with pout paint or lipstick with lipstick, there are three other ways that can save your pale lip beauties.
