NOTD: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Mauve It + Milani Creme Brule

I got Sally Hansen Insta-Dri and Mauve It. Its a lovely pink, but something about it was off. So I put a coat of Milani Creme Brule (a pale pale Beige) over it and this is the result. I love the soft pink!!!!!! This is what I wanted Zoya Barbie to look like (which btw is way too cool toned for me)

Do you like this shade on my hands?

Love of the week: CoverGirl Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner

I think I have found a decent dupe of the Stila Kajal in Oynx (Permanent) and the MAC Kohl in Feline (Limited edition). Drum roll please.......................its the CoverGirl Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner in Black Onyx! I think I bought it for $5-6 USD.

I actually used up the entire eyeliner before writing this review, so I guess that proves that I really liked it:) It not as creamy as the Stila and MAC, and not as black either, but its the closest that I have found. In fact it's formula is just perfect for waterliner, since it does not smudge under the eye (MAC Feline gives me racoon eyes!)

Try it and let me know what you think.

Did all my nails with this color:

Love of the week - Stacked Bangles

I simply adore these stacked bangles in gold called "Cara Accessories Bangle Set". I saw at Nordstorm and they retail for $58. I think this is just crazy pricey. I will try to track down something similar on my trip to India.

If I have any readers from India, have you seen something similar?

NOTD: Diamond Cosmetics Oh Tiff!!
