Summer Makeup Tutorial : Look # 3 - ' Dinner ' In The Sun
Last weekend I went out for dinner at this tiny hole in the wall Korean restaurant to experience the most delicious Korean food of my life. I still cant stop talking about it. So so good ! And this is the makeup I wore on my dinner date. I had on a sunny yellow and blue shirt so I wanted to keep my face a little mellow but not too much so. To match a bit with my shirt I added a little blue along the lower lash line.
I loved how it tuned out. I now love with my Estee Lauder Blue Dahlia Palette even more ! And its so easy !
How To :
1. Apply concealer all over lids and under eye
I used Smashbox HD Concealer - Medium
2. Apply lid primer
I used Smashbox Photofinish Primer - Naked Beauty
3. Apply the taupe shade from the Estee Lauder Blue Dahlia Palette all over the lid
4. Apply a darker taupe on the outer V and blend into the crease
Rec : MAC Satin taupe
5. Add dark blue eyeliner along the lower waterline and upper lash line (very thin)
I used Smashbox jet Set Waterproof eyeliner - Navy Blue
6. Add the sea blue shade along the outer corner of lower lash line from the Blue Dahlia Palette.
7. Add mascara - Flirt It Curl Mascara.

Lips : LORAC Liquid Lipstick - Glam
Cheeks : LORAC Satin Blush - Velvet Rope

New Vogue India Article
Hello Ladies !
How is the Monday so far ?? I woke up craving more Korean food after a weekend of indulging in the most delicious Korean food I've eaten. But I guess it will have to stop. I did a mega veggie shopping last night so I could get back on track with healthier eating. Plans on dragging myself to the gym are on too...

H Wood Beauty - Lip Tea & Lip Shines : Review & Swatches
Who are H Wood Beauty ?
- A holistic tea inspired beauty line.
If you live in LA you probably have heard about the h.wood tea room and their innovative tea based cocktails. This cool and mysterious place that supposedly is all the rage in LA has inspired some of the city's most respected makeup artists to come together and create a beauty line called - H.wood beauty. How cool is a beauty line inspired by tea based cocktails ! I think its a great story ! But what's even more amazing is that their products are big on natural / organic goodness.
Lip Tea
The folks at h.wood beauty sent me a couple of products to try and the organic / natural geek in me loved seeing the "ORGANIC" label on their lip balm ! Their lip balms AKA lip teas ($10) come in six flavors and have the shortest ingredient list ever. Its just a bunch of clean products like coconut oil, olive oil, Shea butter, green tea coming together to keep your lips soft and hydrated. I tried the vanilla caramel flavor - and have contemplated chewing it many a times - smells so good ! Once you try products like this , it almost makes you feel guilty about using petroleum byproducts on yourself.
Lip Shine

Another new product from the line , is their lip shine ($16). Housed in an alluring golden tube, these lip shines are sheer lip colors made with all the goodness of their lip balms. These are available in five shades - sheer, poppy, ruby, rose, plum. I tried ruby and adored the look of translucent red on my lips. Its great for a no makeup look. But its also so so so very easy to use them up in a minute. Not a minute really but you know what I mean. And for this reason alone I wish it were cheaper.
Overall très impressed with the line. Its hard for me to not like a line made locally with lots of good-for-you ingredients and h.wood beauty plays to this weakness in me.
Love,
Indian Girl
