Hi friends, The saying that "Better late than never" holds so true in case of receiving your online orders. I placed my order for 3 months subscription of My Envy Box few weeks back and because of some glitch it took a bit longer for me to receive my December box.  Nevertheless, I got it yesterday, and was quite delighted to see the lovely ❄ snowflakes on the box.  All in all, my January 2018 has started on a good note, and finally being able to receive my box just made it a lot better. Below, check out the video of me unboxing it and all the products that I got. Subscribe to my vlogs here: http://bit.ly/2iY0qXQ Can't wait for my January 2018 box now, and I hope it doesn't take so long to come. Until next time, xoxo, Kimi

Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love this foundation from Maybelline fit me range, and this shade 230 - Natural buff almost feels like second skin on my skin and complexion. However, the way it stays put on my face is something I find slightly weird. I checked my shade online from reviews of various bloggers and got my perfect shade after reading the review on   corallista blog. I placed the order online on amazondotin and got it happily in my makeup kitty 😁 few months back. My joys held no bounds when I saw the way it so seamlessly blended into my skin and gave me an almost airbrushed finish, that too without the use of any primer. Total bliss 😇. However, after few hours of wearing it full on face, I saw that my face looked a lil darker. So, OMG 😱 it oxidizes after 3-4 hours of wearing....and bleh 😒 there goes my happiness down the drain. But, I loved the shade and the texture so decided to wear it like a concealer and not like a foundation. Somehow, it has...

No matter how sultry dance parties look in movies and music videos, and no matter how impeccable the dancing stars look in them, the reality is that if you aren't breathless and sweaty within half an hour of dancing, you aren't dancing at all. For me the most important party staples aren't the sexy shoes or the LBDs, but a good waterproof makeup and of course a long lasting perfume that can stand the heat. I am not a person to regularly go to the loo for touch ups. Once I am all dolled up, I like to focus on other stuffs rather than fussing about where my lipstick vanished or whether my mascara got smudged or not. I have been using L'Oreal Paris Super Liner Gel Intenza in shade 003 - Diamond Black since few months now, and what I loved about this liner is the non-fussy application and equally non-fussy removal. 😇 It is jet black, has very minute glitters that make my eyes sparkle and I love the effect. But, what got me interested was...

Hi friends, I have been MIA since a week now and the reason was that I had been super busy with my sister's engagement ceremony that took place on 6th June 2014 at Jaipur. I got the privilege to do her engagement makeup. Though I didn't do her hairdo, but guided the hired hairstylists to follow what I wanted with her hair and I was pretty pleased with the end result. Check out some pics below: Here is the makeup breakdown: Face:
