Here's another photo from either Vogue or Verve India. I forgot to mark which of the two magazines it was from so your guess is as good as mine.

• Lush Sex Bomb. Get some crackle-and-pop in your tub-stimulating fragrances fizz in your bath to get you into naughty mode.
• Shiseido Hydro Powder Eyeshadow. Available in green, violet and gold, these shadows glide on easily and leave lasting colour-a zen moment for eyes.
• Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Advanced Extreme Time Complex Capsules. Skin stressed by the environment? Try these fragrance free capsules. Break open and apply before make-up or moisturizer. Botanical extracts boost the skin's defenses.
  
• Clarins Beauty Flash Balm. An instant pick-me-up that gets tired skin looking radiant and acts as a hydrating mask.

Photo taken by me, failing miserably at making sure the flash doesn't blind out the text. From Vogue or Verve India.

Rumours are circling about Pout closing business. I am not 100% sure if they're completely shutting down or if there's something else afoot. However, Pout make-up has been spotted at pure Beauty stores and such at 50% to 75% off. Also, the following Australian website has Pout at discount prices and their shipping charges are supposed to be reasonable (don't quote me on that, it's what I've heard). I know Sephora is pretty much out of stock on most thing, but I am glad there are other sources of Pout sales.

I have been dying to try this out for a while and am pretty sure I'm going to get a three month subscription. So before I ramble on, let me just copy the about us feature on www.yellowboxbeauty.com.

"For years, self proclaimed beauty junkie Nicole Jaffe had fun searching endlessly for new and unique beauty products. After continually finding brands that seemed to always make headlines shortly after discovering them, Nicole realized her true calling, and decided that she should share her great finds with other beauty mavens around the country. So, Yellow Box Beauty, the premier monthly makeup club where you get new makeup at your door every month was conceived. While you're lounging by the pool claiming you just found the next beauty trend or just surfing the web, Nicole is out looking for the next "it" product you can wow your friends with. She does the work, you reap the benefits, all from the comfort of your home."

What's even better is the products featured in the archives. Brands such as Vasanti, Besame, The Balm, Julie Hewitt, and FYLO cosmetics (which I've been eyeing for a long time) have very generous introductions to their brand.

I'm going to subscribe to it and see how much I like it. I will report back on the products and how the service is. If you guys already subscribe, let me know.

In Medieval times, I would probably be pelted with garlic for being such a night owl masquerading as a vampire. I am only now going to sleep. Before hitting the sack (I will have more reviews out tomorrow by the way), I decided to do my part in bringing lipstick to the beauty arsenals of all. Ulta is having a clearance sale on all Vincent Longo items. I went by today and most of the items were marked at 50%. Some Ultas even have the make-up at 75% off. You can also print out a coupon online at www.ulta.com to get $3.50 off your purchase of $10 or more.

In a perfect world i would have been a make-up artist. I would eschew all societal conventions on Indian girls being engineers, computer scientists, or doctors and have followed my dream of being a make-up artist. I did get my degree in English and art. So I guess I'm just that much closer to being this brazen make-up diva(hence my blog's name). I am in no way an expert but i am a product junkie looking at colour form an (pseudo?) artist's perspective.
So this is a brief introduction on my love for make-up. I hope you enjoy m postings.
