HOW TO: 24k Golden Eyes


Hello everybody! I really am loving this gold inspired make up lately, I don't know if it is just me, but I am so into golden eye shadows and gold tinted baked blush. I really think that is suits asian women who have medium skin tones. 
The palette I used to achieve this look was the Urban Decay palette and also some Sally Hansen glitter in gold. 
WHAT YOU NEED:
1. Eye base (all over eye lid)
2. black eye pencil to sketch the cat shape and smoke out bottom lid (I used urban decay)
3. Any dark gold/copper eye shadow (I used half baked and ydk on my lid) 
4. blend the gold eye shadow all over the lid and then add some dark gold eye shadow and blend until you get the color you desire
5. sally girl glitter glue (add some eye glue to your lid)
6. take a flat eye shading brush or your finger and apply gold glitter to the middle of your lid (let it dry)
7.  liquid eye liner for winging your eyes to make cat eye shape
8. Mascara
9. highlight your brow bone with a matte vanilla shade (I used my sally girl palette by femme couture) 
10. fill in your brows 

I hope you liked this look :-)

L'Oreal True Match foundation and Voluminous Mascara Review

Hello loves, I amso busy with weddings and family parties in India, and I wanted to do an honest review on some L'Oreal products that I own. I own M.A.C studio finish foundation as well as the L'Oreal true match foundation. Although I am running out of my L'Oreal true match, I am using it all until it is gone. 
The L'Oreal true match foundation is a very soft, velvet liquid that glides on your skin and it is light to medium coverage. The foundation blends very very well into your skin and it does give you a patchy and dry feeling on your skin. It is basically like a naked feeling, but it has a dewy sheen finish to it. It is not extremely dewy like the L'Oreal LUMI foundation. The foundation comes in many shades, and if you test one out then I am sure you will find the right shade. 
To be honest, I chose a dark shade, my skin is not W8 creme cafe, it is actually W6-W7 depending on my tan. I am a sun beige since my skin tone is a light tan. But I picked up the creme cafe color and it is a very beautiful color, so I use  it to add dimension to my cheek bones and I apply a luminizer powder or bronzer on top to get that beautiful tan glow. The foundation does not dry out fast nor does it cause breakouts. I really love it. 
It is the best drug store brand in my opinion because I think it is comparable to the Urban Decay Naked foundation except it has a cheaper price! Amazing right! It will definitely make your skin look fresh and natural in pictures, since you can build up the coverage, you can apply it 2 to 3 times with a beauty blender sponge or a foundation brush to get you that flawless finish. 



I purchased this mascara back in 2009 and since then I kept going back to buy it and I must admit I am a loyal L'Oreal Voluminous customer! I have tried many mascaras and honestly nothing beats this one! It is like a $100 mascara that is sold for $10! (In my opinion atleast!) I mean don't get me wrong I do have the Tarte Amazonian mascara and also some others that I DO use but what I am saying is that THIS ONE in my opinion is better than the ones that I own.
So first of all, this mascara does what it says. It makes your lashes stand out, the product glides on your lashes and boom, your lashes are voluminous. Just one to two strokes and your lashes will look like you have on falsies. But I layer it 3 times to have a very dramatic look since I love that. 
It does not shed, it does not make your lashes clumpy, or sticky. It does not irritate your eyes nor does it smell bad. It comes in waterproof as well, and also different shades. I like blackest black since that is my hair color anyways so I just use that one. I really think that this mascara makes your eyes stand out, and it enhances the look of your entire face. Just a little goes a long way.

I hope my reviews helped you, I will post up pictures as soon as I get back to The States. 
Until then have a wonderful day :-) <3 XOXO
