Beautiful morning and sunshiny flowers

Hello lovlies!I just woke up today and immediately felt like writing a post because the weather is so good!Weather like this,that is a little warm and sunny but cold and rainy all in one..makes me want to jump..because this combination is so rare.My favorite ever weather is when its raining cats and dogs..i dont know what it is about rain it juts makes me want to cherish life..and at the same time sit in my balcony with a hot cup of ginger tea(which is my favorite btw)..Bangalore has been blesssed with good weather lately..because a few months ago around April&May it was "omg just kill me now" kind of hot temperatures..

And there is a lovely bloom of these yellow sunshiny flowers, i dont now what they're called but they look amazing and also jasmine flowers..with their intoxicating smell piercing my nose

How beautiful are these?This jasmine has creeped up from the ground below to the first floor balcony and now its growing along the walls of the balcony!!..growing flower plants might be a pain in the you know what, but when they bloom it all seems worth it!!..

Maybelline VelvetMatte Liquid Lip Color

Hey guys! Let me share with you the main reasons why you need to step UP your lipstick game.

1. Wear an ok ok outfit but wear an amazing lipstick.Day conquered.
2. Can add an edge to a monotonous outfit.
3. Wear Red lipstick = Be Queen of the world.

So...Let me tell you an incident which happened last year November 2015.

It was my cousins wedding(yayy) and during the reception i was fully decked out in an amazing net sari and i came out of my dressing room and people were like..oh hey anu nice outfit..and that was it.

Then i remembered i had forgotten to put my lipstick on!!(i mean yes..stupid mistakes like these do happen lol) so i ran back into the dressing room and put on this mauve lipstick. And then stepped out again.. and people went crazy..anu!! you're looking fantastic!OMG drop dead gorgeous! You're looking like whoa.And they werent even complimenting the lipstick.They were complimenting me..

And i realized...ladies..it was the work of that one single amazing lipstick and how it helped pull together the whole outfit.

And today I'm reviewing and swatching that holy grail lipstick for you guys and I'm excited!

So lets gets started!

This is a Maybelline VelvetMatte matte liquid lip color in MAT6 (a beautiful fuchsia color)...It should suit all fair and wheatish skin tones.

1. Look - Omg..the first time i saw the packaging i fell in love with it!..it looks like a lipstick so i tried to pull the lid off of it (without success for about 5 tries lol) an then i realized that the shape of the inner container is in the shape of a lipstick but it actually holds the gloss inside this intriguing lipstick shaped container..This is quite unique..check out the pics for more understanding.
2. Price - Not bad. Around 475 INR. But i guess in the US you can get it for cheaper.
3. Color Payoff - Amazing.But you need to apply two or three coats.And it stays for about 4 to 5 hours easily.And after drinking or eating something i agree that this does wear off a little bit but it leaves a beautiful pink stain on your lips.(which is to die for actually)
4. Available in some really pretty shades. I've tried a couple of other shades too but i keep coming back to this one for the bold statement it makes and at the same time not making me look like a lipstick victim.

As you can see,the brush of the applicator is so soft and glides so smoothly and this is quite a fuchsia lipstick. Fuchsias are my favorite!!If im not wrong this has a purple tone to it too and thats great right?

And that's how it looks on me guys..trust me...this is one "compliment collecting" lipstick lol if you know what i mean and here in this picture I've applied just one coat. That's what amazing with this lippy. If you want some color but dont want to make a statement go for one coat and do two or three coats if you like to glam it up.

So what do you think guys?..Would you try this one?And also please do let me know in the comments if you have a holy grail lipstick that you always reach out for..for a date,as an everyday lipstick or as a lipstick you just apply even when youre just chilling at the house ,you know, because we all do that lol.

xoxo

My Beauty Rules

There's always days when you feel tired,hopeless,exhausted etc when you don't feel like getting out of bed! Here are a few awesome ways to always seize your day!

       Lets first follow the three Ms -

1. Moisturize! (the night before) - Always remember to moisturize your skin every night so when you wake up the next morning your skin feels soft and dewy and that's the battle half won already.And when your skin looks good then consider the day half seized.My suggestions are Garnier and Nivea moisturizers which are soo good.
2. Meditate - Take a few minutes everyday to meditate.You don't have to be a pro at this.Just sit in a quiet place and concentrate on your breathing for about 5 minutes.
3. Make your Bed - I can tell you for sure that making the bed (if not immediately after waking up then at least after some time) leaves you with a sense of calmness and gives your room an illusion of neatness even though,say, your desk might be cluttered.
4. Dress Up - Take some time to go through your clothes and choose something that is flirty or fun.When you look good you feel good.
5. Make Up - Try putting on basic makeup like bb cream,a little swipe of mascara and a beautiful lip gloss or lipstick.(Never underestimate a good lip gloss). Doing just this basic makeup routine will make you feel more confident. 
6. Read a good book - The right kind of books can be uplifting.My tip here is to choose one that   you have already read and loved so you know that you will be inspired no matter what.
7. Gratitude - When youre leaving your house ,before you get out the door,take two minutes to stop and be thankful for what you have and tell yourself "Today is going to be amazing".

    That's it..what are you waiting for?Today is YOURS! Go own it!
