Happy New Year!!!


Happy New Year!!!

Wishing everyone a happy, happy new year. 2011 was by far the best year I (Ananya) have been through and I really hope your year was great too. It isn't exactly 2012 yet (it's 10:30 pm) to be exact, but happy new year in advance. Again, wishing you a happy, happy new year and I hope for 2012 to be even better.
Lots of love from, 
Ananya and Mehek

Daily Photos (Ananya)

       
          So, yeah. The iMac. We have had this for four years, and I think almost five years now. And about 25% of the time that we had it, we didn't have any internet connection. I didn't know what picture to take, so I just took a picture of what I blog on. So here is your daily photo. Yay.

Ananya's Nails Of The Week: Chanel Graphite Nailpolish

                                         Chanel Nailpolish in 529 Graphite


          So here are my nail's of the day for new years eve and new years. This shade is definitely worth the splurge because it is a very unique colour. I absolutely love this because of its pretty yet manageable glitter. Its a gorgeous cool gunmetal shade which is very, very beautiful. I have exactly two coats on my nails seen in the picture above. With one coat it looks way too sheer but with two it has the perfect opacity on the nails.

The This Or That Beauty Tag!!!

So, I promised you guys on twitter day before yesterday that I would do a beauty tag blog post yesterday. But my Internet ended up crashing yesterday, and I had to write a short blog post on how I was unable to do so. I ended up posting that blog from my friends iPod touch. *Sigh* Anyway, I do I have the internet on now, so I decided that I'll do it today. So let's start already. Oh and before I start, let me just explain what the beauty tag is all about. So first of all there are many parts in this tag (for example, there is fashion, makeup, nails,etc. But I'm only doing makeup) and you basically have to choose between, well, this or that. So, now let's start.
1) Blush or Bronzer? : Blush, blush, blush, blush......!!!!!! I absolutely love blush. If there is one makeup product that I could live with, its blush.

2) Lipgloss or Lipstick? : This was a difficult one. But I think I have to say lipstick. You can get shiny and matte looks with lipstick and (usually) only shiny looks with gloss. That is why its called lipGLOSS.

3) Eyeliner or Mascara? : I hardly use mascara, because my lashes are naturally long and thick, but they are just really straight and points downwards, so that is why I only curl my lashes for day to day, and wear mascara only when I go out for the night. And my specks block my lashes and the mascara ends up on my glasses. But I wear eyeliner almost everyday on my waterline and lashline.

4) Foundation or Concealer? : Definitely only concealer. I don't like wearing concealer because foundation, however light they are, usually end up feeling weird on my skin. And besides, I do wear concealer almost everyday.

5) Neutral or Colour Eyeshadow? : This was a little hard, but at the end of the day, however boring you think I am, I have to say neutral, only because I wear neutral eyeshadows almost everyday, and because I'm too young to wear colour eyeshadow everyday.

6) Pressed or Loose Eyeshadow? : Pressed any day. Loose eyeshadows are way too difficult for me to work with. And besides, I only own one loose eyeshadow.

7) Brushes or Sponges? : This wasn't difficult at all. Its definitely brushes. I do like sponges some times, but brushes make your look so much better and they are much easier to work with.

Daily Photos (Ananya)

So Mehek did a post for her Daily Photos. So I decided to do mine too. I carry around the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Mini Pro. I absolutely adore its size, its sooo small!!! Its super convenient because of the keyboard as well!

Monthly Favourites: December

                                           BH Cosmetics 88 Colour Shimmer Eyeshadow Palette
                                                  Chanel Nailpolish in Graphite and Pèridot
                                                      MAC Studio Finish Concealer SPF 35
                                                               MAC Blush in Gingerly
                              MAC MAC Me Over! eyeshadows in (up to down) Outré and Moleskin
                                                    MAC Cream Colour Base in Pearl
                                                         Urban Decay Naked Palette

          So here are my favorites for the month of December. Here's WHY I like them:
1) BH Cosmetics 88 Colour Shimmer Eyeshadow Palette: I have given an entire review of this palette. The palette is just super versatile. It has all sorts of shades and is anything but generic. I mostly use this palette if I'm doing makeup on my friends so that I have an entire array of shades, depending on what they like. Find out more about why i like this palette here: http://www.the-makeup-vanity.blogspot.com/2011/12/review-bh-cosmetics-88-standard-shimmer.html

2) Chanel Nailpolishes in Graphite and Pèridot: These nail polishes came out in a collection in either November or October of 2011 and it came out in a separate nail polish collection for Metallic shades (Sorry, don't know what the collections name is!). These shades are super beautiful and I have been wearing only these two shades on my nails all month. They are definitely worth the splurge.

3) MAC Studio Finish Concealer SPF 35 in NC42: I have just recently started wearing this concealer to cover the veins on my face due to my translucent skin. The texture is creamy, but not so creamy to the extent wear it starts wearing of my face. It has a very good coverage and it is the only thing I use on my face for covering up small flaws.

4) MAC Blush in Gingerly: It is really, super gorgeous on the skin. So gorgeous that you just can't take your hands off it. I have been using it everyday ever since I got it. Its just a really pretty warm, well, gingery blush that is really neutral for day to day wear.

5) MAC MAC Me Over! eyeshadows in Outré and Moleskin: This is MAC's latest collection (at least in India) and it is HUGE. It is a 51 piece collection that ranges from really neutral shadows to bright berry lipsticks. It has three different sections in the collection. I really like the two eyeshadows I picked up for the crease. It really helps blend all the eyeshadows on your eye out without making it look too muddy. Moleskin is just a regular neutral brown but Outré is a really unique, one-of-a-kind, mustard brown shade.

6) MAC Cream Colour Base in Pearl: I absolutely LOVE this product. I love how it doesn't have any shimmer particles, but it is still has that pearly sheen to it. Perfect for highlighting any point of your face including your eyes.

7) Urban Decay Naked Palette: I have been using this palette a lot this month. There is no reason not to like it since it only has a range of beautiful neutral shades. It contains almost all neutral shades you can imagine, from a pale beige to a dark shimmery black.
