Wet N Wild Mega Last Lipstick in 'Smokin' Hot Pink'
Wet N Wild Mega Last Lipstick | $2.29
Wet N Wild Mega Last Lipsticks deserve a full raving review and not a Monday's Mini, but these lipsticks have tonnes of reviews all over the web so I thought why not just feature this beautiful shade Smokin' Hot Pink alone.

New Winter Skincare - First Impressions + Giveaway Winner

New Winter Skincare - First Impressions

Everytime winter takes toll, my skin goes all crazy. I have a combination skin and as soon it gets cold here, my skin gets dry and flaky around my cheeks and it is the hardest thing to keep a balance between my t-zone and u-zone, because of which I end up with breakouts all through the season. 

Last year I found a product that I thought was working for my skin the Aveeno Moisturising Lotion but for some reason it ignited the situation this winter. I have had my go at most moisturisers but nothing comes close to giving me hydration, yet not clogging my pores. 

Most of my skincare comprised of drugstore products, this year I decided to raise the bench a little higher and did more than a week's research over a whole new skincare routine. In it, my major, major help was the Jennypurr blog. Her skin is kinda similar to mine but apart from that her knowledge about skincare is indeed vast. I stalk her daily and read each of her post word to word. Trust me they are so enlightening. I learned a lot of new stuff. And on top of that she was so kind to reply to my skincare query and guide me in choosing the right products.

I would like to explain here, I don't have really bad acne. I just experience slight congestion around my cheek area due to dryness and clogged pores. I LOVE clear skin (who doesn't, I know!). But I am one of those people who do not cake up foundation on imperfect skin. The idea of covering all those pesky spots makes me cringe and for me if my skin is unclear it needs to breath, unless there is a do or die situation. I like my foundation to go all smooth and flawless that is why to get that bump-free surface I decided its time for drastic measures. Not to mention, dry skin does irk the hell outta me.

I guess enough with the babbling. It has not been over a month since I included these products into my skincare routine that is why it is more of a first impressions post.

Monday's Mini: Born Pretty Store Color Changeable UV Gel

Born Pretty Store Color Changeable UV Gel

The concept of color changing nail colour does sound intriguing. Fascinated, I ordered this gel without knowing that you need a UV lamp to make a UV polish work. The nail colour has a very gloopy gel-like texture. You need to dip a nail brush in your pot and apply thin coats to your nail and cure every coat under a UV lamp to set it. Does sound quite a bother to me! But maybe the color changing part makes up for it in the end.
