My Birthday Celebration, Gifts and Weekend Look, OOTD

So girls, it was my birthday today and it went quite well. We didn't do much, just had some lazy time at home till 12pm, went to Oasis mall Koramangala, had our lunch there at Tandoor Restaurant, which was absolutely yummyyyy. On the gifts and haul side - I got this lovely saffron colored kurti and a cute pendant as gift. I was planning to buy the lipstick and le vernis de Chanel from Chanel's Fall makeup 2011 collection and was waiting for SA to come, when I got another surprise of my b'day. My hubby had listened to me rantings about Lancome's new L'Absolu Nu Lipsticks and he got a glimpse of the Kate Winslet's advertisement I'd been watching sometime back. During my wait at the Chanel counter, he went to the Lancome counter, purchased this lovely shade and handed me the bag!! I was stunned and absolutely in the seventh heaven! :D We'd already had so much food in lunch that there was no space of getting full sized cake for b'day cake cutting cer...

Chanel Byzance Makeup Collection- 2011

Karl Lagerfeld presented the 'Paris - Byzance' Metiers D'Art collection in Paris in December 2010. The theme was inspired by the Empress Theodora and the lost culture of Byzantium. It also relates directly to Coco Chanel's first collection of Byzantine-inspired costume jewellery, which was launched in the 1920s. The famous portrait of Empress Theodora inspired both the collection of clothes and makeup products. The palette in red, black and copper shades creates simple looks for everyday makeup. Sumptuous gradients will be used for special occasions. Gold and bronze eyeshadows can be applied on the eyelids and cheekbones to catch the light. Each eyeshadow is dressed in a quilted effect and has the famous logo with the double "C". The texture, both creamy & powder, gives an optimal application. The beautiful and exotic Byzance collection comes with the following: Les 4 Ombres Quadra - Topkapi Blush Joues Contraste Powder  - Rouge & Or Rouge A...
