Pink & Burgundy Eyes For Valentine's Day!

Hey Everyone!

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone! Hope you have a wonderful time today! So for today's post I did this pink and burgundy eyes for you. Ever since the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette came out with pink toned shades I always wanted to try a makeup look with pinks and burgundy shades as I have heard quite mixed reviews that such shades don't suit our Indian skin tones but on the contrary I quite like pink tones eyeshadows. I think they suit olive/tan skin tones just fine!

Weekend Ramblings: Office, Baking, Wisdom Tooth etc!

Hey Everyone,

I know I have been MIA since a week now and I sincerely apologize for that, I have been insanely busy at work last couple of weeks to an extent I hardly found time to prepare lunch/dinner for myself! Yes it was that bad! On top of that my wisdom tooth started to pain and I had to take some pretty heavy medications to get it under control. Thank god its much better now but I do need to visit my dentist to get an x-ray done :(

Anyways I am hoping things will stabilize in couple of weeks, until then please excuse my irregular postings. I promise to be back posting regularly as soon as possible! In such times the only thing that makes me happy is baking cakes! Yes I am a bakeholic! Is that even a word? Anyways not sure if you all know but I do have a separate food blog Parita's World where I do share my experiments with cooking and baking. I have been baking since a very long time and depending upon the amount of free time I get I do take cake orders as well. Baking is very therapeutic for me and helps me to de-stress :)

Sharing below few of my cake pictures which made in last couple of months. Enjoy!

Thank you so much for reading my rants and ramblings. Until next time take care and stay beautiful

Love,

Hey Everyone!

Hope you all are doing fine, I know I have been mia for couple of days but honestly last few days were extremely busy and hectic for me. Anyways today I'll review a gem of a product which I discovered purely by accident! Although I love my Sebamed Clear Face Cleansing Foam to death..ok that was exaggeration but you know how I love it...I wanted a stronger face wash for evenings especially with AHA's ie glycolic or salicylic acid.
