Eat, Sleep, Makeup and Repeat: Makeup Revolution Pro looks palette

Hey beauties,

I'm here again with another colour bursting review. By now you might have guessd it and if not this is what I am talking about. It's the Makeup revolution's Pro looks eyeshadow palette by the name "Eat Sleep Makeup Repeat". 

This eyeshadow palette has some interesting mix of colours from bright red to Pink & fuchsia, Emerald green to neon yellow, deep blues to purples. And not to mention, it has three highlighter (Rave on, Rave off and Repeat again) shades which differ only in the intensity of the shimmer. 

On one side you have 'Rave on' which is frosty silver-white shade, whereas 'Rave off' is a shimmery white (aptly a silver tone). And last but not the least 'Repeat again', which just led me speechless is the glittery silver (heavy dose of sparkling glitter particles).  And look at that reddish-orange shade, so bright and cheerful. Seriously I'm in love with it!

See the swatches!



My My... I'm glad that I did laid my hands on this palette which offers a range of colours with textures ranging from mattes to frosty to shimmery eyeshadows. Again some of the matte eyeshadows are little more chalkier than others but can be worked around. The frost and shimmer eyeshadows are little bit on the creamier side. I believe the colour intensity of all the eyeshadows is build-able to desired level. 

Since I'm not a sucker for packaging, I would say the glossy plastic casing with gold embossing is fine. However, while handling it does feel as a cheap packaging material. Another thing that disturbs me is the left behind fingerprints on the casing. Grrrr! I hate to see those impressions on my palettes but I must learn to live with it. Nevertheless, it comes with an additional sponge applicator brush which I won't be using. It's a same story with every other palette, I guess. And it has a mirror exactly the size of the palette, which is quite handy while doing makeup. Ohh and it does comes with this name sheet for each and every colour (makes life so easier! :-P).

At a price of 7.99 €, it isn't a bad option if you want some break from your regular neutrals and flesh toned eyeshadows. Especially for spring and summer seasons, I think it would be a great deal. In Europe, it's available on kosmetik4less website

Are you impressed ??? Then give it a try and grab yourself a deal!

Yves Rocher Riche Creme (Anti-Ageing night cream)


Hello my dazzling beauties,

You have grown a year older and for the first time in your life you have discovered that fine line turning into wrinkle. Or did you got those unknown spots that were never there a year back. Or do you feel your skin has lost elasticity and is looking rough like leather. Well you are dealing with "Skin-Ageing". Now there are plenty of things that cause this skin-loosening phenomenon. Sunlight, smoking, poor diet, excessive alcohol drinking and etc. But the question is how can we just avoid these adverse effects. It is really possible to avert ageing. Ohhh Well....not completely (it's your b'day present as you age :-D) but as they say you can definitely delay it. BUT HOW????

First of all leading a healthy life and eating a balanced diet.

And Secondly, get hold of anti-ageing skincare products as early as possible. By this I definitely do not mean that you start lathering up your skin and body at sweet 16 with anti-ageing products. ;-) But just at the first glimpse of signs of ageing. You know "Prevention is better than cure" and this phrase hold true also for skincare. 

And off-lately, I'm flattered by an awesome anti-ageing night cream from Yves Rocher. Now those of you who follow me on instagram, knows what I'm talking about. 


So here's the deal! This cream consists of 30 plant oils. Seriously, I have never ever seen or heard of any cream containing so many oils. And for this reason it is enormously nourishing even with a teeny-weeny bit. Even with so much oil content it doesn't feel greasy. Well initially, it does but when you really massage it into the skin, it's all absorbed and my skin just felt so soft like that of baby's bum. The formula of the cream works brilliantly overnight and I wake up with a bright and fresh skin. NO oiliness the next morning. And all I do to look more awake is to wash the face with cold water. I have been using it for past 3.5 weeks and I do feel the change in my skin texture.

Now I know you'll might be interested in those 30 plant oils. SO here's a direct pic of the packaging.




However, this night cream does contain parabens, perfume and paraffin. Hence, if you are allergic to these or in general avoid these, then this is not meant for you.

For me, so far it's worth a applause but no commitments yet. ;-) It is available at Yves Rocher online shop and is priced at 32 € for 100 ml (current offer!!)

Time to say Bbye but I'll be back soon with more news & reviews. Subscribe for regular updates!!

Baby Clothing: Ernsting's Family Haul

Hey beauties,


Today I have a very special post as it revolves around my baby's first birthday celebration. Yeaahhh, in exactly 4 weeks time, it will be so far that my baby will turn 1 and ladder up to being a toddler. No more an infant! And we are all set to make it ultra special. And the first thing, I could do or let me just put it this way; I must do is to buy clothes. 

And seriously guys, I don't know how it is in other countries but in Germany it is kind of difficult to find colourful baby dresses at a reasonable prices. For some reason, here the baby boys are dominated with all shades of blue colour and girls with pinks. I hate this classification! I mean baby's world need to be colourful and so should be the clothes. And the one shop that I truly rely on for some burst of colourful and pattern-outfits is my fav "Ernsting's Family". 

So here's quick look at the Haul!



In the pic below are 4 undershirts and one normal cotton full sleeves shirt with striped bands in front (ahh..you can see that!! ;-))




And the Jacket below is so soft, fluffy and cosy. I just love it! Other than these I bought 2 jeans and one cotton pants (blue coloured with elastic waistline). Jeans are fitted with elastic bands and can be adjusted around waist fur optimal fit.



P.S. All items were picked from Sale and in sizes 86/92 suitable for babies from 1.5 years to 2 years. I prefer to buy a size larger (especially jeans) than the actual size of my son. This way it's not only economical but also spare me from buying outfits every three months. You do know how fast babies grow out of sizes!

Tip: Plan in advance and try to buy outfits during off-season to save money. I would buy jackets and sweaters in winter sale for the next season and similarly summer clothes during the summer sale. Of course not always but most of the time. Trust me it saves a lot of money. Also if you tend to like some pattern and print which is available only in larger size, then go ahead, buy it for the season yet to come and be uniquely styled. :-)

Hope you enjoyed this little tour. 

I shall see you soon with another interesting post!

Till then .....KEEP SMILING! :-)

"For Your Beauty" Facial peeling Pad

Hey dearies,

A few week back I received my blogger box from drugstore Rossmann with such incredible products. One such product was this facial-peeling pad from the brand for your beauty. For those of you unaware of the brand for your beauty, it is the house brand of Rossmann and offers a wide range of beauty and skin-care tools.

Most of the times I refrained from buying the tools from their brand, especially make-up brushes. But that's not what I should be discussing, right!

So coming straight to the point!


A Facial-peeling pad, is something which we all (kind off) require every single day to get rid off the dirt and dead skin. At least, I do need it for my combination skin and this pink-coloured (feminine it is!) silicon pad with minute yet very soft bristles serves the purpose completely. It is very gentle on the skin and the fine fibres removes the dead skin effectively while stimulating blood circulation simultaneously.

It should be used on the well moistened skin and gently massaging in circular motion for a couple of minutes (say 5 minutes to be precise!). However, best results are achieved in combination with a cleansing product. I use it generally with face wash-gel or sometime with cleansing milk. This peeling pad has a small holder at the back side which makes it easier to grab and fix it in between fingers for a proper massage. Also for it's super mini and practicle size, you my take it on any journey. It's so small that it will fit in your pocket as well! ;-)

Ever since I own this, it is my constant companion for daily skin-care routine. Unfortunately, I could not quote any price range as it was sent to me as a gift. However, once I get hold of price I'll update it here.

Till then I wish you all a healthy and glowing skin!

Keep smiling! :-)
