Beauty Monday : Green Smokey Eyes

\Though I love the original smokey eye, I love a dash of color too. I have a bit of fascination for the color green, I chose green and a bit of blue too. However, it looks greenish on my eyelids as I have an yellow undertone and similarly all colors respond differently to different complexions and undertones\

\Applied 'Gonzo' from the UD Electric Palette with the thicker side on the application brush that comes with the set\

\Now damp the thinner end and dip it in 'Fringe' from the UD Electric Palette and slowly tip along the eye lid closer to the lashes\

\Gently draw a line along the lashes\

\Similarly do the same along the lower lid\

\Draw a line along the waterline with Smashbox Waterproof Kohl liner in Raven\

\Apply mascara\

\On my Cheek and lips I used OCC Lip Tar in Femme. On my lips I topped it up with Dior Addict Lip Polish\

/on my nails : Revlon 480 chic/

Valentine Special : Lavender Bath Set

There are lots of gift ideas in the market, but if you ask me it should be something personal. But can everyone sit put together and flick out an excellent DIY out of the blue. I surely can't. But what I can do is personalize and create that is close to my heart. Today I made a bath set. You can surely gift it to your BFFs, Sister, Mom and all those special ladies. But what if you make this for your sweet heart and may be guide him through it, while indulging yourself, too!

Here is how to whip it all up!

Lavender Bath Soak

What you'll need:
~0~ Epsom Salt - 1 cup
~0~ Dried Lavender - 6 tbsp
~0~ Lavender Essence Oil - 8drops
~0~ Mason Jar - 8oz

Process: In a bowl mix them all together and pour it in the Jar. Seal it tightly.

Lavender Bath Scrub

What you'll need:
~0~ Sugar - 1 cup
~0~ Coconut Oil - 1/4 cup
~0~ Dried Lavender - 6 tbsp
~0~ Lavender Essence Oil - 8drops
~0~ Mason Jar - 8oz

Process: Melt coconut oil in a bowl and then mix in the remaining ingredients. Pour the mixture in the Jar then seal it tightly.

Lavender Body Butter

What you'll need:
~0~ Cocoa Butter - 3/4 cup
~0~ Coconut Oil - 3/4 cup
~0~ Baby Oil - 1/4 cup
~0~ Lavender Essence Oil - 6 drops
~0~ Mason Jar - 8oz

Process: In a double boiler melt the cocoa butter & the coconut oil. Once you take it off the boiler add lavender essence and baby oil. Pop it in the fridge and let it solidify. Now bring it out of the fridge, and beat it up with an egg beater. It would be a bit hard, but after a while would start looking like whipped cream. Once done, pour it in the Jar. Seal it tightly.

Lavender Face Scrub

What you'll need:
~0~ Sugar - 1 cup
~0~ Coconut Oil - 1/4 cup

To decorate it I have tied a Purple strings around the jar necks, keeping with the Lavender theme. I also slipped in a wooden tag with the name of the product with a color pen.
