Review: Clinique's New Pop Lip Colour - SweetPop

Clinique New Collection – Pop Colours 

Clinique recently launched its new collection – Pop colours. I got a little lucky while listening to the radio and won myself a Masaba pouch along with *wait for it* - Clinique Pop colour Lipstick.

Here is a quick review on this new lipstick in India.

Brand: Clinique, Shade: 11, Wow Pop Colour – Pink

Texture:
This one is super creamy and very light, unless you are the one who dabs on a dark shade on the first go.

Along with its shiny finish it is also has a very moisturising and doesn’t leave your lips dry after a few hours. Though this is not matte, the smooth texture won’t get you all fidgety and worried about the shade wearing off.

Sloppy Eater Meter:
The durability of this lipstick is super cool though it is all silky and smooth. However, it won’t last more than three – four hours in a day along with food consumption and requires a quick touch up to maintain the pop effect.

*(the sloppy eater meter is rated out of five points)

More details:
Also available in three other shades.

Price: Rs 1600

Hot Lips: Summer 2015

Most of my posts on my blog are through self experience and learning. I stalk a lot of blogs. Try out things they share and then figure a few things on my own. This one is through personal experience. Read and enjoy! Do comment! So here are two tips you can follow this summer and look all Vava va boom!

AVOID LIP-GLOSS!

Most brands market their brightest and lightest lip glosses during the summer which is why we are under the impression that this is how our summer lips should be.

Well hello, pagal hai kya? why would you want sticky lips that add to your sweat moustache in this scorching heat?

Also if you are a regular traveler (especially bus or train), your long locks (hair) will keep worrying you, creating a very sticky situation.

DARK IS ONLY A WINTER COLOUR?

Well the four letter word followed by an off to whoever said dark colours aren't meant for summers. This rule applies to the clothes you wear because they attract heat especially black. (black is and always be my favourite colour of all time).

However, pastels clothing gives you a good enough reason to experiment with all your funky lip colours. From shades Burgundy to a bright coral, options just don't stop.

How To Sharpen A Kajal Pencil

Before you throw out your expensive kajal pencil, try this simple technique to sharpen your pencil.

Kajal Pencil Sharpening

Things Needed:

1. Kajal Pencil

2. Sharpener 

3. Paper

4. Freezer

5. Watch 

Steps: 1. Roll your Kajal Pencil in a paper.

2. After wrapping the pencil well, keep it in your FREEZER for about 15 minutes

3. After 15 minutes, take the pencil out of the freezer, unwrap it and sharpen it like any regular pencil. 

P.S: I couldn't find my kajal pencil sharpener so i used a normal sharpener. If you have your kajal pencil sharpener, your pencil will have a better tip.

P.P.S:  Avoid using a regular sharpner if you have used it on a regular pencil... It will have lead residue on it which is very harmful and causes allergies. (courtesy: Chetna Chakravarthy)

Nerd is the new cool

#Nerdlook is now trending and almost everyone around has either got a fake or replaced their existent spectacles with the #nerd one's to get on the trendy train 

Here are a few celebrities who have dawned the #nerdlook

Rihanna with her over sized nerd glasses that compliments her hip look

Model turned actress, Chitrangada flaunting her geeky look 

Not clear with what their relationship status is, both Ranveer and Deepika spotted with the nerd look

If there is someone that defines sexy, it has to be Mr.Depp with his Nerd wayfarers 

Jacqueline, Shraddha and Scarlet Johanson join the nerd bandwagon

The nerd look compliments almost every face cut/shape and there is not much to bother about. Shabby hair, nerd glasses, tight pony tails nerd glasses..there is not one hair style that we can think of that does not compliment the nerd look.(nope not talking about the princess hair do's) Whether young or old the nerd glasses is the new trend to stick with.

With college's just about to re-open, we suggest you dawn a new look and go by the saying 'looks can be deceiving'.
