FACEPALM

Who ever invented this word is a genius ! Its true ! I mean, we have all been doing this action since we were born (lol) but knowing what its called makes life easier..doesn't it?..well it does for ME..!

So, yea..this post is about how life (mine in particular) is FULL of face palm situations..day in & day out !

Lets take the example of my hair.. today i shampooed it just like how i shampoo it every single time, but since its a sunday and i'm at home..my hair decides to look awesome.. on other days when i have to go out or well i'm out on a trip where people are taking my pictures..my hair is absolute madness !!..WHY?!?!...all i can do at that point---> *FACEPALM*

Aur suno.. So, I'm not a big believer in doing my assignments on time..why?. because procrastination is my middle name ! (if my parents are reading this..THIS was THEIR facepalm moment!). Anyway, the day I do decide to sit down and actually finish that "memo", I remember i have a blog to write !..and it happens EVERY  single TIME!!..i don't get it..how..why..FACEPALM!!

Then, stupid questions. I do believe that stupid questions are better than stupid doubts..yes i do..but thats only reserved for class..! in life..in general.. when people ask stupid questions i'm facepalm all over !!..example--> me: hey, are you coming to college today? they: yes..are you?" HELLOO...i used the word "coming" if i wasn't going then i would have used the word "going"..!!..now i have to attach my face to my palm just because you didn't pay attention in english in school !! :o LOL. I would love to do an entire post on stupid questions..just wait for another one of my memos ! ;)

Also, whenever i have to make the most important calls..its only & ONLY then that my phone decides to either run out of battery or balance..why?..cosmic powers uniting against me.. :o.?.. i don't know..i just FACEPALM

Oh!..like today.. I'm sitting peacefully at home..minding my own business..as i usually do..trying to concentrate on a reading..*rare moments of life* when somebody, somewhere near my house decides to burst the loudest cracker ever..!.. in the middle of the day..like literally..it was 12 pm !! :o :o  I'm not kidding i almost fell off my chair..! and as soon i recovered from the shock..forgot about the trauma it had caused..it happened again !!..and this time it was in a series..each more louder than before..OUCH..there went my concentration with the ozone-harming-pollutant-air...but off-course there's nothing I could do about it..except FACEPALM...

Anyway, there's only so much I can write now. Do share your facepalm moments with me if you feel like..!..and off-course important lesson --->

so ciao for now..
Enjoy

Brilliant Brunette!

SAW it-- BOUGHT it--TRIED it-- LOVED it

Yup, that summarizes this post.

If  you know me (in real life i.e.) you have probably tolerated my incessant whining about my  hair.."frizzy.!!..breaking too much..!!..rough..!!"..yea.. I've had major hair woes since my "hair smoothning" wore off and obviously this rainy weather doesn't help.

I've been looking for a good shampoo for a long time. Was bored and borderline unsatisfied with the one I was using (have spoken about it here)So one day while browsing through flipkart when i saw John Frieda- Brilliant Brunette, i remembered having read good reviews about it on someone's blog. So decided to try it and placed an order.

I've used it 3-4 times now and i'm seriously happy with my decision !! :)

What it claims: Moisturizing shampoo, brings out rich multi- dimensional  brunette tones & shine
 
What it contains: Formula with crushed pearls & sweet almond oil

I'm happy with it because : hair loss has reduced tremendously !
                                         hair is shinier, softer and more manageable
                                         lathers very well ( don't require more than a coin size amount)
                                         Even with shipping, cheaper than L'Oreal Professional range (which I've been using on n off..ALSO, i was planning to switch to Kerastase..so..YAY..money saved !! :) )

What I don't like : Nothing as of now...i'm very pleased !

Available at:  flipkart, urbantouch etc.

Price: Rs. 450 ( though I got it at discounted price of Rs 380 ! *evil smile* )

Needless to say I would definitely use it again and probably purchase the conditioner too..just waiting for my L'Oreal liss Ultim to finish..


Recommend it?..YES!! :)

Love

Shopping Bag from South East (I)

I just came back from a wonderful week long holiday in Singapore & Kuala Lumpur! I'm happy to be back because i missed my friends,my room, my non disruptive internet and phone connectivity (the most) and well my life here in general. But yes, the holiday was super fun too! It was such a good break, these places are great holiday spots..if you like travelling MUST put them (especially singapore) in your list of places to go!

but this blog is about shopping so i'm not gonna convert it into my travel stories (although great name for a travel blog, right !) and tell you about some good stuff I bought there ! so here goes...

one of my FAVORITE purchase-- OPI nail paints. this package has 10 awesome shades which is kool because I can always buy later the ones I like out of these. Also I got 10 shades worth $40 which is pretty kool !..I love duty frees :) 

oh and all of them have such funky names like "tickle my france-y", "cajun shrimp", "I'm not a waitress" to name a few !

Confession: i LOVE Victoria's Secret! i don't own a pair of their lingerie which they are actually famous for, but yes their beauty products are super awesome! I was first introduced to it  4 years back when I saw one of their fashion shows and after that, when someone i new went to states they got me a victoria's secret body lotion..it was called "pure seduction". After that, this is THE only brand i use for body lotions coz they smell like heaven (..seriously !)and are brilliant moisturizers especially when you live in a place like delhi where the winter is all set to dry-kill your skin  so i HAD to pick this one up-->  "love spell"  this is my favorite & i'm on a short supply of it!

 i also wanted to pick up it's new perfume which had a very "Moulin-Rouge" like bottle but as i have Miss Dior waiting in line along with some others i decided to pick up a body mist instead..yes i know..its just a slightly unpolished cousin of a perfume but its good..okay! and would be perfect for spring !

Body mist also had a HUGE variety; different colors, really eye-catching names and off course great fragrances but the weird part was they din't have caps !like none of them..i have no idea whats up with that .but i did like this the best --->

I highly recommend Victoria's secret products by the way, must pick up a few next time you travel !

 Ok this was a lipstick set my mom picked up. This a pack of 3 neutral shades, so should go with most skin tones. the best part-- VERY long lasting and brilliantly water proof, well CLINIQUE is famous for its quality.




I like the names, they sound so nice ! the first one, "all heart" din't appeal much to my mom and she suggested that I use it, off course i willingly obliged ;)


CLINIQUE is thankfully available in India and you must try their other products, basically skin care, as they are really good. I know this girl who used it for getting rid of acne, it was a whole regime of 4-5 products and it worked..so well !

if you live in delhi, you can check out their small little shop in Select Citywalk mall.

 yes the quintessential Apricot Scrub ! I'm sure the whole world uses it. St Ive's is known for its Apricot Scrub among other things. I've been very loyal to this scrub since i was 15 years old. Although its usual variant is available every where in India, even the cosmetic shops in our local markets are selling it, I found this "invigorating" one there and decided to try it.

But an (uncalled for) advice that I would like to give you is that do not use it (apricot scrub regular or any other variant) more than thrice a week. Its pretty strong. and PLS follow it up with your daily moisturizer. I'm no expert on skin care but on this you can trust me.

       the last product, L'OREAL Paris  nourishing shampoo. I havnt seen it in Delhi markets and god knows my hair needs all the nourishing, revitalizing, Repairing etc etc products it can get. Chemically treated hair is a real mess after a year. I'm a living example of that. I bought this just incase. who knows, it might help. When I try it i shall let you know !

More stuff from my shopping bag in the next posts!

Share your shopping experiences with me and I'm open to feedback, suggestion and your experiences with similar or other products. 

 adios for now  :)
