Barry M Dazzle Dust swatches and review!
Barry M is a popular, relatively inexpensive cosmetics line in the UK. Since Mika and I are studying here at the moment, we figured it would be worth checking out! One of Barry M’s best-known products is Dazzle Dust. Used mainly as eyeshadows, these loose pigments come in a wide array of gorgeous colors and cost about 4.50 pounds. Much cheaper than MAC pigments (though the container is way...

daily shimmery neutral look
I’ve been practicing new looks and trying various brands since the age of 11. Needless to say, nine years have flown by incredibly quickly! I’ve always wanted to master a simple but pretty & interesting look that can be worn on a daily basis without looking too harsh. I think I’ve finally found it.
I love this look for any casual event. I tend stick to black liner because I...
Signature smokey look - Luckie's favorite!
Sometimes I get tired of the typical black, harsh smokey look that we are so accustomed to seeing everywhere from the red carpet to your local clubs. Don’t get me wrong - I love me some smokey eye - but here is subtle, modified version I’ve experimented with for a couple of years now. The general guideline is to apply a relatively light base, add some smokey shadow in the crease, and...
I've got the blues...
Well, not really. But I have experimented with some ways to wear blue shadow without looking like Mimi from the Drew Carey Show (remember her?) This is a fairly simple but dramatic look that can be worn any time.
Products used:
Urban Decay Primer Potion NYX Jumbo Eyepencil in Milk NYX Eyeshadow Trio in Sweet Lagoon/Aqua/Ocean Prestige Liquid Liner in black Milani Color Brilliance Eye Pencil...

CoverGirl LashBlast!
This is the reason I avoid Target… whenever I’m there, I end up buying things I definitely don’t need! A pack of two LashBlasts for $10.99 is on that list. Like many other Indian girls, I’ve been blessed with long and decently thick eyelashes - so I tend to avoid mascara on a daily basis since it gives me a drag queen look. Before LashBlast, the mascaras I had were...

sunset look! (most definitely for the evening :)
whoo! first of all, Carly and I got our new haul from cherryculture.com on Monday — I will be sure to take pictures soon! and second of all, I just couldn’t resist playing with them as soon as I got home from the gym that day - so I tested out a few looks. had a lot of success with all of my shadows, except NYX’s Africa (this great shimmery orange that looks better on my cheeks...

Luckie's favorites!
Mika has already shared some of her favorites with you, so I’ll do the same! Trying my best not to repeat hers, because we share some of the same faves :)
Eyeliner: I’ve been using MAC kohl in Smolder for the past couple of years, and it’s been pretty successful. I like this liner because it’s dense, very dark, and fairly easy to smudge. It lasts very long, so it’s...
NYX shadows & our first post!
cherryculture.com’s recent free shipping/NYX sale had Carly & me wondering if we could possibly write a semi-successful makeup/style blog… so here we are! as of the moment, we’re still waiting on a few things: paychecks, a new camera, for our new NYX cosmetics to ship out, and proper brushes.
while we’re waiting, however, I thought maybe that I could list my favorite...
