Review + Lip Swatches +FOTD: ADS Professional Makeup Pencil

On my last visit to my wholesaler (from whom I procured The NIKE BODY SPLASH reviewed here and The INCOLOR Eye-Liner PEN reviewed here) I was shown a unique makeup pencil from the Company ADS. I think I have heard about ADS from all these online stores which sell cheap nail art goodies and eye-shadow palettes. Right? Also, if I am right then ADS is a Belgium based company. IF I am wrong then please feel free to correct me!

How I keep my skin matte all day!

To begin with I have extremely oily skin which dreads at the name of moisturizers, creams, sunscreen etc. The end result? Oily and tanned skin :( Of late I have been experimenting with varied products and have also been using Retin-A for my acne prone skin. What Retin-A does is that it peels your skin, making it look dry and flaky. However, for people with oily skin like me using Retin-A might prove to be quite cumbersome because it will make parts of your skin dry and flaky while your T-zone will appear oily as usual. I had to find a solution to combat this unusual problem! Also, I have been travelling a lot (which explains why I have been Missing From Action)-which means that my sensitive skin will be prone to sun burns. YIKES! A couple of months ago while I was still on Retin-A and had happily skipped sun-screen I had experienced my first and most dreaded encounter with Sun Burn. So, all in all I needed to inculcate the habit of using sunscreen without fussing over chip-chip! :-/

Hello & a Very happy (and a very belated-LOL :D) Dusshera as well as Durga Puja!!! (PHEW! That was long) 

So a couple of days back I made it to the Chandigarh Pandal of Durga Puja...it's odd-how I've lived in Chandigarh (my whole life, well, almost) and never knew that we celebrate Durga Puja even in this quaint city of mine. Here's a picture of how the pandal looked from the inside:

While I was in Bombay I got the whole Bong food fixation and could never get over it. (I think I raided the Stalls at the Durga Puja Pandal in Andheri) The pictures of the pandal and the food still linger in my dreams...
