Diwali FOTD & Makeup Breakdown

EARLY RAKHI PRESENT = FANTABULOUS BROTHERS!

I know that Rakhi is not for another 12 days but my brothers (read H & Z from The Rubenesque Paintpot fame) were kind enough to buy me (read make my parents buy me) a new camera! wooohoooo!!!!!

I wanted a camera under Rs10,000 cause that is all I could afford at the moment and my old Cannon Powershot just wouldn't work anymore. Believe me. The screen was gone. the pictures would come at their will and I had to wait for my camera to be in the mood!!

So my brothers felt bad for me (H did honestly, Z, not too much cause he knew I would bug him to pose for pictures :P) and they asked my dad to buy me a camera! Now I being me, went ahead and got a Samsung camera yesterday (Don't judge! :P It was cool for the Rs 7,000 I paid Like 14.1 megapixel, 5z zoom & HD video recording that sucked a little, but was ok :P) This did bug them a little But my mom was the hero here. She called the camera guy said nothing doing I want the other camera not this my daughter knows nothing!:P

And guess what It worked! The camera guy got scared and took the Samsung camera back!! Ha! (which would have gone to H otherwise :P) and mum and me just battled the rain to go pick my brand new camera!!:D
Its not a DSLR or anything fancy (OK lie- Too fancy for me! :D ) but suits my requirements well! Introducing the new member in our family- *drumrolls*
Black Beauty- Nikon P500! (Cannon was Sylvie)

Which is supercool with 36x zoom, 12.1 megapixel & full HD video recording!
36X ZOOOMMMM OMG! :P

Wish I could take a picture of the camera but Sylvie is at the camera Doc! So lets make do with pictures from  the Nikon India website! :D

 Ps: It is naked still because the camera guy had no cover! Will have to go again sometime to get it!

MAC Paintpot in Rubenesque, Swatches, Review

You know it was my birthday some weeks ago, and I posted my Birthday MAC & Clinique Haul here.
I did mention that a lot of those products were presents. Yes, thats how I ended up having the Rubenesque paintpot. :)
So there is a story behind how I acquired a paintpot. :D
See.. I has heard a lot about paintpots and primer for eyeshadows.. but I never gave it a serious thought cause I don't wear eyeshadows on a daily basis. Neither do I when I'm going out most of the times. its just when  * a special party or a night out here and there* so spending over a 1000 rupees was out of question!

FOTD Breakdown

So I posted my 5 minute FOTD today and I waited for someone, just anyone to ask for a break down!:P

And I almost had to force Shrutilaya to ask me for this cause I so wanted to. Subtle hints don't work on you guys?! hmph.

Okay so I love the look cause its simple, looks polished and takes less than 5 minutes, i.e. if you can line your eyes fastttt.

Oh and cause I wore it when I took my folks out to dinner!:D I mentioned it didn't I ??:D :P

Look under question-

Products used-

excuse the stain. :| This used to be my study desk once:P

Face-
MAC Studio Finish concealer
MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Natural (I use The Body Shop Kabuki brush for this)
MAC Fleur Power Blush (I use The Body Shop Blush Brush for this)

Eyes-
MAC Rubenesque Paintpot
MAC Siahi Fluidline (I use the Maybelline Gel Liner brush for this)
MaxFactor Mascara

Lips-

MAC Crosswires Lipstick (Cremesheen)

MAC Exxxhibitionist Kissable Lipcolour (Peacocky Collection)

I had less than 5 minutes to dress up and this is what I did. I was surprised what a little tweaking could do to my makeup routine.
I don't wear eyeshadows when I go out generally.. In fact, I am just starting to wear something on my eyelids, other than eyeliner. And it takes some time to do it properly. If you dont have time, Don't bother cause its going to mess up in a hurry and and the whole redoing process takes forever.

• So I washed my face and toned, moisturized.
• Next I concealed my dark circles. My new concealer is pretty awesome. I'll review it in a day or 2.
• I applied the Rubenesque paintpot all over my lid with my finger. You have to be swift, cause it sets otherwise. So its done in a jiffy!
• I lined mt eye with MAC Fluidline in Siahi.
• Then I just set my concealer and buffed some MSF Natural into my face.
• I applied MAC Crosswires and topped it with the Kissable Lipcolour in Exxxhibitionist just in the center of my lips.

FOTD

Hows Sunday treating you all?? arranging your wardrobes (my mum is nagging me to.. to be fair it does need work.:|) So I'll post 2 super quick FOTDs Ive done and will be on my way.. :|

Okay so the look 2- This is what I wore when i took my folks out for dinner. :D One of my very few proud moments! :D
Oh and this sure is one of my favourite looks these days. It takes less than 5 minutes and I love it.
