I love this time of the year Aug-Sept. First Of, Aug is my b'day month so its special :) and Sept marks the coming of Autumn and the upcoming festivals like Diwali,Durga Pujo,Dussera. There is something in the air, some vibe--some smell--some energy, that makes it so so special. As a little girl I would always wait for this time as we get to buy all new clothes, meet cousins, go out with friends and the most exciting part..no studies,no school..only good food and loads of fun.
Durga Pujo is one of the main festival for all Begalis across the world. It marks the victory of Good over Evil. The festivities usually go on for 5-7 days. This year I am doubly excited as I will be visiting my hometown :) The last few years I have not celebrated Durga Puja with that much vigor as I had personal commitments but this year is going to be super fun. My vanity needed some 'renovation' and what better time to invest on some good make up than this festive season.
The haul mostly includes affordable items.
1. Morphe 35R palette : This is the STAR of the haul.The moment I saw this palette online, it just kept talking to me :) (Does it happen to you?) I tried to ignore but finally gave in. It is my b'day month and I deserve some goodies . Ended up gifting it to myself. The palette consists of mostly warm brown, neutral, gold, bronze and copper shades.In love with it. Its Playtime with this lovely!!!!!
3. Sivanna Eyeshadow Palette in Pink : I got this palette as I never tried glitter pink eyes and since it was affordable and also travel size did not think twice to pick it up (remember I am traveling during Durga Pujo) But I am not extremely satisfied with it. The glitter pink color has chunky glitter particles (unlike the shimmer brick which was so creamy) and I ended up having a lot of glitter fallout. Will see how I work with this one.
4. Miss Claire Blush (Shade ) : Miss Claire makes some really good blushes and soft matte lip cream. Since I cannot use their lip products, got their matte blush.
5. Try sugar lip crayons : Any makeup look is incomplete with the perfect lips. Since I am allergic to all lip products including mac, nyx, maybelline, lakme ..etc. This is the only formula that does not irritate my lips and sits for hours without reacting. (I still avoid wearing lippies on an everyday basis and its reserved only for special occassions). Got two shades, Scarlet O Hara (Berry Red) and Holy Go Lightly (Pink Nude). Already have their Marry Poppins (Fuschia with blue/purple undertones) and its my fave.
6. Maybelline colorshow nail Polish : I dont know why I am digging for Rosegold these days. This is a decent glitter nailpaint and is also super affordable.
7. Eyeconic Black Kajal : This is a repurchase, I love it and will keep on restocking.
