Looking back on the months gone by,
As a new year starts and an old one ends,
We contemplate what brought us joy,
And we think of our loved ones and our friends.
Recalling all the happy times,
Remembering how they enriched our lives,
We reflect upon who really counts,
As the fresh and bright new year arrives.





My Happy New Year wish for you
Is for your best year yet,
A year where life is peaceful,
And what you want, you get.
A year in which you cherish
The past year’s memories,
And live your life each new day,
Full of bright expectancies.
I wish for you a holiday
With happiness galore;
And when it’s done, I wish you
Happy New Year, and many more.
 
 


 


 
New Year's Resolutions? Wishes? What is it where you are? any special celebrations?? what did you wear , and special makeup done???

Bourjois Lipstick - Review & Swacthes


I love bourjois commercials , jus because the way they say bourjoius in the end of it,
it always make me smile and buy their products .
I already love their clubbing mascara , its fab so this time i bought two of their lipsticks
jus a quick post on swatches and pictures

i bought bourjois lovely rouge bijou rose eclat 19 which look bright in picture but in real a its lighter and full of shummer.. very light pretty shade
and
bourjois lovely brille in corail des mers 05 which is a A glossy lipstick

It's the perfect size to fit into any handbag, or maybe even a pocket, and it even has a Little mirror



You'll also find a silver circle with the Bourjois logo adorning the front of the cute lil lippy. In keeping with another important aspect of the Bourjois philosophy on make up - *COLOUR* - the lipstick is available in a wide range of shades

have you seen any of bourjois commercials?/ they are adorable but in French.

RIP: Brittany Murphy






Brittany Murphy was not one of the world's great actors. Nor, in recent years, was she even especially visible. But she was a performer of immense charm, with a knockout smile and a chuckling, bee-bop voice it was difficult not to be won over by.
Brittany Murphy dies of heart attack aged 32
Actor starred in 8 Mile and Clueless ,Uptown Girls, opposite child star Dakota Fanning.and had big parts in Sin City and Girl, Interrupted and My favorite movie of her ,
love and other disaster & Little Black Book

 May Her soul Rest I peace






Skin Care (with few desi home remedies)




PLEASE bear in mine that everyone has diff skin compositions and texture and severity of acne and hence one medication that works for a member would not work for u.home remedies do work but they take a long time .

Acne is a common skin disease characterized by pimples on the face, back and shoulders and caused by pores clogged by dead skin, oil and bacteria. When excess sebum combines with dead cells the skin tissue becomes inflamed and u get a pimple.

Causes:
- Age : effect of sex hormones
- Cosmetics: make-up and hair spray's containing oil may aggravate acne
- Disease: usually hormonal imbalances
- Drugs: antibiotics, contraceptive pills
- Enviroment: when u're face is exposed to grease, smoke and polluted air
- Personal hygeine: strong soaps, picking at pimples and scrubbing often
- Hormonal changes: periods, menopause and pregnancy
- Stress: emotional stress can contribute to acne

If u have acne please make sure u do the following:

- Change u're pillowcase often
- Cure dandruff (if u have any)
- Wash u're face with a mild anti-bacterial facewash
- Keep u're hands/fingers away from u're face
- Use an astringent/toner to seal and close u're pores
- Use water-based facial products.
- Do not scrub if u have inflamed pimples/acne

Now we may take it from here...
Some days are a complete waste of make-up!


if the spots are on u're upper cheek area u may use equal portions of lemon juice and sugar-cane juice.. even tomato jice works however, this takes time to see results,



skin discoloration around the mouth area is very normal.. if it's really dark u shud show it to u're derm who may prescribe HQ gel that is actually a skin bleaching cream. If it's a mild case apply the red sandawood, wild turmeric and lemon juice remedy for sometime.

Also massage the area with Vitamin E oil, to distribute to melanin that's causing the pigmentation.


Haldi(turmeric) is an antiseptic and besan reduces the amount of oil produced "sebum" it's excess oil that attracts dust/dirt/grime and clogs pores which turn into nasty inflamed pimples



It's different for oily/dry and combination skin.. all skin-types shud cleanse everyday though and if u're exposed to dust and grime cleanse twice a day.

Every skin-type needs scrubbing and u may scrub 2-3 times a week, don't over-do and strip u're skin off natural oils.

Homemade masks for oily skins:

Neem paste + Mint paste, mix with lemon juice and apply
Cucumber juice + aloe vera
Oatmeal and milk

Homemade masks for dry skin:
Milk powder+ honey
Mashed banana + honey
Egg yolk and powdered milk

For combination skin:
Papaya pulp + Lemon juice
Milk powder + cucumber juice

Deep cleanse u're skin by steaming it and scrubbing it.. wash-off and apply u're toner (this helps seal u're pores) use a cleansing or massage cream (add a few drops of rosewater to make massaging easier) massage u're face till all the cream is absorbed and with damp cotton-wool wipe it off.


if you are getin a white head problem .,Whiteheads are hardened sebum (oil), grated potatoes or juice help reducing whiteheads and so does cornstarch and vinegar.. mix into equal quantities, leave it on for 10 mins and wash off,Whiteheads can't be removed with a blackhead remover strip... after the age of 25-26 u shud get regular facials..once a month to have u're face cleaned. I've given remedies above.

NOTD Clarity Nail polish Purple



I am loving this shade of purple, i was in lahore last month and i saw this pretty color in DHA. there were couple of other bright intersting colors , i so wanted to have them but company's name was very new and unfamiliar , i avoid buying unfamilair nail or makeup brand here because in nail polish case they can be too watery to apply and takes ages to dry , i came back home without purchasing but i had second thoughts and i thought for the price , what the heck i should get it , so i bought two of their shades, i love the color perfect for winters, it was not "that" watry , but consistency was bit  thin but didnt take ages to dry , i love the color.its shiny ,glossy and oh so bright .would i be buying more of this range?? well perhaps yes , if i find sum brilliant colors .




whats your favourite purple nail polish ??

Maybelline Mono eyeshadow Emerald City EOTD

I am loving purples , greens , lavender, emerald and all bright colors this seasons.




i saw maybelline 's emerald(Long-lasting and crease resistant.) and i knew i have to have it . its super gorgeous and i loved it, it has tiny little green shimmer in it which i realy liked.Its not "highly pigmented".
here i am wearing emerald city on upper lid and nothing else, i jus swept it as it was 6 am in the morning , and

Would you wear this look?



We all love gossip girl and we all( err um well most of us) love leighton meester aka Blair Waldorf who is playing
hopeless romantic who idolizes Audrey Hepburn, classic movies and upscale traditions, but whose sensitive side often clashes with her tendency to be bitchy and controlling.
★ At KIIS FM's Jingle Ball in Los Angeles, Leighton Meester looked stunning ,
Adore the loosely pulled back hair and smokey eyes and rose-tinted lips combo ,

  According to In Style, Dean Bryant created Leighton’s look by brushing espresso shadow up to the crease and blending it towards the tail of the eyebrow with a small brush. He then lined the top lash line with black eyeliner and blended that outwards as well. To finish, dark brown pencil was applied on the bottom lash line and smudged upwards, with a final touch of fake lashes.. some say its too Angelina Jolie look , some say its kind of sheila e 80's inspired
look , but whatever and who ever it was, i am totally in to this Winged Eye Shadow look now, gotta try it.






Leighton Meester performed at KIIS FM’s Jingle Ball at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles on December 5th. The Gossip Girl actress sang her hit single  somebody to love.’ 


 Check out the video above and tcomment and tell me what you think.
