Huda Beauty, the Instagram/Youtube makeup guru created waves last year when she released first her Lip Contour Pencils, followed by Liquid Lipsticks and finally an eyeshadow palette. The Liquid Lipsticks were probably the craziest release as they were sold out within minutes. I, initially did not give into the immediate hype (to be honest, you don't have much choice when you are an unemployed blogger with a diminishing bank account). Anywho, when my holiday shopping was complete and I ticked off my wishlist (thanks to all those uncles and aunts who come from abroad and get lots of gifts), I had some spare cash so I decided to get this Lip Contour Set. Not to forget, the shade Famous was my berry dream come true. By this time, the set, which was a holiday special had obviously been sold out and the pages were asking for atrocious amounts for the set and I felt a little deflated. But like they say, agar kisi cheez ko sachay dil say chaho toh poori kainat conspires to get it for you, and I luckily found an independent seller who was selling this for a reasonable price. I immediately placed my order and I received my set soon after.

Best of Beauty - 2016
Hello hello! Been off the radar for ages now thanks to the hectic wedding season which was followed by a terrible viral infection. Nonetheless, finally decided to sit and write down about the products which I discovered and loved using the past year. It feels like I wrote about my last yearly favourites just yesterday. Without any further ado, I present to you the Best of Beauty for 2016.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Makeup - Review
Hi everyone. So I've been a little off the radar recently because I have been suffering from a bad case of writer's block, but now I seem to be getting over that, so hopefully will be posting more frequently now. Anyways, coming back to the product in the spotlight: the Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay in Place Makeup. Lately, I've been on a foundation kick and I have been grabbing every chance to try out a new foundation. I've always heard amazing things about this Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation and during the Sephora Spring Sale, I ordered this. I have been using this foundation for a few months now - in the hot, humid summer as well as in the cooler months.

Monthly Favourites - October & November
Can't believe its December already. This year literally flew by and now we are progressing into 2017. Been quite a ride I must say but let's leave that for another blogpost. December is one of my favourite months because the cooler weather means that the makeup stays intact. Plus, the winter palette is more glam than the Spring/Summer palettes. And not to forget, it is the season of weddings, festivities and family get-togethers which means that I can dress up to my heart's content! Lets move onto my favourites for the past 2 months.

Kylie Lipkit in Kristen - Review
I'm probably the last person to finally get hold of the Kylie Lipkits. The Kardashians/Jenners are some of the most popular people in the world and when Kylie Jenner released her own line of makeup, the world naturally was ecstatic and every time she launched a product, it would be sold out within seconds. The initial colours did not attract me very much so I happily gave them a pass, given how costly these are. If you guys regularly follow by blog and Instagram, you would know that I am weak where berry/pink lip colours are concerned and lighter shades don't really appeal to me. Kristen seemed like my ideal colour and although I tried very hard not to give into the temptation, I somehow ended up ordering it and the rest, like they say, is history!
