a new look?

One day, one of these fine days I am going to go to the cosmetics counter in one of those shiny stores where everything and everyone look like they belong to a perfectly coiffed world. It's almost the new year and that's always time to shake things up isn't it! To change what one as a boring old routine, to something new and exciting. Ok, so I'm not going bungee jumping or anything that wild, but going to those dreaded make-up pods might as well be the same thing. I'd love to find the perfect light day foundation to wear on a daily basis, and maybe some bronzer or blush thingie. I mean, I'm not looking for some fancy trick on how to make your eyelashes grow longer or thicker or anything like that, but finding a nice lipstick would be great too. Just the basics.

Even i wish I could get the basics right, and then actually put them to use :) :) my make up simply expires without any usage :) :)

Purvi, oh yeah, that happens to me too. The day, I finally decide to try my hand at some make up item that I dig out of my bag, I realize it's expired. I still have the blush combos that I got as a gift when I got married....and that was 9 years ago :-) I better get around to tossing it!

I am such a makeup goof too. I need a savvy friend to just do it all for me!

Shalini, me too...these days the alternative is not using any...except for eyeliner, without which I look sleepy :-( And a bit of lip gloss, which I feel is often better than lipstick, easier to put on and more forgiving if you pick a less than perfect color.

I can so relate to you, I am happy with an eyeliner and a lip gloss too, have to avoid the sleepy look afterall ;)
And I see you stay in Dubai too! Really nice to have stopped by your blog!...

:) those makeup ladies can be so intimidating! I'm just looking for a nice moisturizer/replenishing cream that I can wear on my sensitive skin. I don't wear much makeup--kajal/eyeliner when I remember and a nice neutral lipstick.

Sometimes au naturel is better! :)
