Not that I am that great with makeup anyway, but with summer fast approaching, I can happily go around with hardly any makeup and blame it on the heat (for winters, I have to think of some excuse :P). These are my favorites for this summer.
 |
Sunscreen: Clinique Dermawhite (heard it's been discontinued)
Concealer: MAC Select Moisturecover Duo (review here)
Chanel Mat Lumiere Powder Foundation (review here) |
|
![]() |
Avon Glimmersticks Lip Liner - Mystery Muave (here)
YSL Rouge Volupte Luscious Pink (here)
Chanel glosses - Nakkar and Praline |
 |
Blush: Chanel Espiegle - gives just a hint of warmth to my face
and a barely there peach sheen. |
I guess bright colours for the eyes are the in this summer, but I have been managing with just these twist-up eyeliners of late. Not that I am that much of an eyeshadow person - I just use one colour at a time - but now I have gotten so lazy, I skip even that :P

Avon Glimmersticks Diamonds Eye Liners (review here) |
And some blotting sheets in case the skin starts misbehaving :P (recommended must-have by Cali):

TBS Tea Tree Blotting Sheets (review here) |

ReplyDeleteOMG...Amritha!! Nooo there are other Indian bloggers too who review Chanel products - but they also review so many other brands so probably you didn't notice :) Where do you stay? I know only a few places:
ReplyDeleteBangalore - Lifestyle stores (Koramangala and Richmond Road)
The other two stores, I found with a bit of help from Google, so the info might be wrong, and I don't know much about these cities either :)
Delhi - Chanel Boutique, Hotel Imperial
Mumbai - Palladium Mall

ReplyDeleteBee - Nothing compared to the flaunting someone did on IMBB today - skirt and boots and an attitude to match :D
ReplyDeleteCali - Is really really good..but I add the sheets too...me update :D
Anupam - I like the blush because I am not that comfortable with more colour..this is just enough for me to feel good but never look clowny.
I live pretty far from all these places but but but I might manage to run into the lifestyle store in the near future and am gonna hit the chanel counter without doubt...me want the lovely lippies...yayyyyyyyy
ReplyDeleteoopsie forgot to type bangalore lifestyle store...hehehe
ReplyDeleteDo check out Rouge Extrait Glosses then..these glossimers that I have shown in the pic are quite sheer..they just give a hint of colour to the lips..the Extrait glosses give a lot more colour but are still very much in the gloss level..
ReplyDeleteI have Emoi:

Personally i think its the only thing i ever used on my face that actually made my chin drop at the effect :D from Drag to Queen in just secs :P

Cali - Awww...you don't buy any product that tests on animals, is it?
