I’ve been on a blush craze lately. I’ve been loving Sunbasque for the past few months; been wearing it a lot! So I’m reviewing Mac’s Sunbasque blush today. You get a lot of types in mac blushes. Matte which is very pigmented, sheertone , frost, satin and sheertone shimmer which is sheer and has shimmer. However, all the sheer blushes I’ve experienced do have buildable coverage. Sunbasque is a sheertone shimmer. It’s muted orange brown colour. I’d call it a bronze with gold shimmer. The shimmer is very subtle and not so noticible in daylight. With flash it seems to be more apparent. The colour is very warm and gives a nice glow to the cheeks....

Malson Martin Margiela has a collection that embodies architechtural inspirations from New York. I happen to like the jewel encrusted masks. I suppose they would make good headgear instead. The belt fastenings on the dresses are meant to depict a doorknob from a plush New York building. But I like the different styles incorporated. They seem to cover every trend this season. But I wish there was more fluency. Love the sheer lace trousers. Image Credit : Style.com | Entire...

Jean Paul Gaultier has a very exciting couture collection this season. He draws inspiration from artists, writers in Paris. The collection is very masculine and edgy. There’s a mix of leather and fabric which embodies hard and soft aspects of the look. The jeweltoned dresses and gowns have exaggerated collars and frames at the hips to emphasize it. But you also have intricately designed gowns in flattering colours. I love the black mesh maxi dresses and colourful geometric patched pants. Image Credit : Style.com | Entire...

Revlon’s Coloburst lip gloss range is amazing! This is seriously one of the best lip glosses I’ve ever tried. The formula is perfect for a lip gloss, it’s not too pricey and everything expect from a lip gloss. So today I’m reviewing the shade Rose Gold. Like the name suggests, it’s a peachy pink colour with gold microshimmer. It’s a great nude colour for deeper skintones and looks equally lovely on pale ones too. It’s quite opaque but it does blend with your lip colour. The lip gloss isn’t sticky or gooey. It’s a bit thick but you don’t feel the weight on your lips at all. It applies beautifully and gives a smooth look. It...

I’m back with a make up review! Mac’s Coppering eye shadow is one of its veluxe pearl finishes and a beautiful orange copper colour. The pigmentation is excellent and one of the best in Mac eye shadows. The microshimmer is very finely milled and there’s no fallout once it’s applied. It blends really well and it can be used for so many different looks, not just nude-bronze ones. While it looks good on all skintones, I feel it suits deeper skintones. It can look too orange on paler skintones if you’re attempting a nude or bronze look with this. It stays on all day. Atleast 7-8 hours. The refill pan is for Rs. 700 which is pricey but you will get a lot of wear...

Elie Saab. Need I say more? It’s a collection I always look forward to. There isn’t much of surprise left in Elie Saab’s collections anymore, you know what to expect. But I still haven’t had enough because he makes them all look beautiful in so many interesting ways. We start off with black semi sheer gowns with lace and bead work. They look sensual and extraordinary. The finale wedding gown is very beautiful with its intricate work and flattering colour. I loved the teal and grey blue gowns with golden details. The collection also has peplums and layered skirts which add to its...

Valli’s couture collection paints the picture of a beautiful garden. With peaks of volume and prints, the collection is beautiful. The transition from red to green makes the contrast colours look very harmonious. I love the use of feathers to accentuate the waist and the applique. To imagine all this done by hand, you can truly appreciate the craftsmanship. I love the green flowy gowns and the high ruffle neck ones. I also liked the one shoulder green and black print gown with the layered skirt. Each piece is so unique and yet they all come together seamlessly. A very elegant...

Ulyana Sergeenko’s debut couture collection has a strong Russian influence that tell so many stories. The very first look is intimidating and militaristic. You have shabby chic, influences from the rural side of Russia as well as the mighty army. But it all comes well together. I love the bold shoulders in the collection and the flare skirts. The collection will impress many. I love Natalia in the finale look. I also love the dresses with applique and detailing. Image Credit : Style.com | Entire...

I’m in love with this collection. There’s something very peotic in this, almost like a story going from day to night. From ordinary to mystery. My musings aside, I love the palette of this collection. Black and blue together has me hooked. The silhouettes are casual chic. The gowns are so exquisite in all the work being done in it. I love that they’ve brought velvet back in a good way. I love the veils as well and the fact that no two veils look alike. I loved the concept and vision of this collection as well as the execution. I’m sure these will be seen on the red carpet soon...

I think my biggest joy in the past few days was that I was able to play an old video game again. The title should give you a hint. Back in 7th standard to used to lurk in the CD-ROM section of Crossword trying to find a game which I would enjoy playing more than twice and which was also moderately priced. I came across “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?” I used to play it on my then shiny PC which had Windows 98. And ever since the world switched over to XP, I’ve faced a series of failed attempts to play it again. There are various versions of the same game. I’m talking about one where ‘The Chief’ is an African-American. I also like the pun names...

Christian Dior’s couture collection this season is a debut for Raf Simmons. There was a lot of excitement and anticipation to see what his take for couture would be like. I feel it isn’t as bad as the critism that’s been thrown towards it. Yes, it starts looking like a Jil Sander collection but its to be expected. As the show progressed the dresses has more finesse and richness to them. The embroideries looked really beautiful. Although couture and wearable don’t necessarily go together. This collection had both and I don’t see that as a bad thing. Art and vision aside, this collection did have a different voice. Hopefully, people will be more embracing to his...

Givenchy’s collection is the most intriguing couture collection so far. There is so much detailing and braiding in each pieces. But I love the silhouette’s. It’s absolutely gorgeous. I love the red and black kaftan which looks like an ethnic tribal print from afar but it’s so dense in details. This is a collection many can draw inspiration from.
