Butterfly In My Balcony: Rainy Season

I know you must be already wondering, is the post really related to any product or launch? The answer is “NO”.

Just thought to get a divert from the regular blogging pattern and share few pics that I clicked as the rains started.  I honestly can’t remember when was the last time I got wet in the rains as since 2 years I have been really  too busy with my family. But, this year the rains in Mumbai have started soon and the relentless rain makes me spent loads of time just starring at my small grilled window (that I call a- balcony) and sipping my favorite tea/coffee. Few plants like money plant, aloe-vera, tulsi/basil, ajwain/carom/ bishop's weed have made their home in my balcony.

Happy Independance Day

This mango and yellow neon sari looks even more beautiful with the different intricate (chikan) work on the sleeves of blouse. The blouse also had Embellished with patch work and Embroidered mirrors all around the neck. 

2. Velvet Pallu:

We love a velvet pallu on saree! They look very beautiful with bold colours, and can give your saree an instant update.

Check out Anushka Sharma at Apsara Awards 2012 in this velvet Sabya sari. She wore this on the runway that looked different by wearing the pallu up and some simple makeup on the face and lips. This can add to your elegance and feminity.

3. Bold Red:

Bold red coloured sarees have been seen everywhere due to its trend in Bollywood. This sari flatters your silhouette and accentuates even a tiny waist, hide wide hips or even thighs. We think Prachi Desai looks sweet and sexy in Policegiri with this ensemble! The bold red lipstick and traditional accessories make her look simply awesome and adds a pop of color.

Makeup Tips and Ideas for Christmas

 Christmas is about to arrive, together with lots of decorations. This makes it the perfect time to play around with makeup and go a little bit bolder than usual, without exceeding, of course, and always keeping it elegant and natural looking. You can find a lot of free classifieds on the internet, where you can get all the stuff you need for your makeup at a very low price, besides getting some tips on how to use it.

In the meantime, here are a few ideas for your Christmas makeup.

Enhance your brows - This aspect is very important, as brows are one of the main elements that frame your face together with your hair. So you should always pay a lot of attention to them, grooming them and shaping them in a symmetrical way. To emphasize them will be a great way to enhance your eyes, besides the shape of your face. Always make sure to use a brow pencil that matches the color of your brows and doesn’t go darker or lighter.

Eye shadow - This is probably the element that will give your makeup a real Christmas touch. A very trendy thing this Christmas will be that of blending your grey eye shadow and fuse it with gold, purple, red or some other christmasy color. This will lead to a new and unique multi-texture, as no one will have it like yours. Important: keep the shadow between the crease of your eyes and the lid in order to obtain the perfect result. If you prefer, you can use metallic eye shadow instead of grey - it won’t change the great result!

Super lashes - Get a super magnetic look by enhancing your eyelashes with some extensions. Don’t exaggerate, a few extra single lashes will be enough to give your eyes that amazing look.

Glow with your shimmer - Christmas is the best time of the year to use glowy make up. That’s why you should feel free to highlight your eye makeup by applying some glowy shimmer on your cheek bones, or in the inner corners of your eyes, between the eye lids and the eye brow. Always make sure to find the one that matches your skin tone the best, so that it will look very natural and it will just add a splendid light to your look!

Lipstick - Red is the colour of Christmas. Thus, red should be the colour of your lips too! A bold red lip stick is exactly what you want for this Christmas, glazed over with some gloss. Your lips will become simply irresistible!
