Bringing Sexy Back - Clinique Summer 2009 Bamboo Pink Collection : Preview

YEAH ! Them other boys donno how to act. YEAH !

Shake it off . Shake it off .

Clinique sure is bringing the sexy back this summer. As much as I am in love with all the bronze and orange and blues going around , this collection puts a whole another twist on summer. This is Some Serious Sexy Stuff (S.S.S.S) ! Its the kinda sexy that does not come by so often. The Sophisticated, Seductive Sexy (S.S.S) Its the kinda sexy you're born into. Clinique is born into it and thankfully are packaging some of that much needed S.S.S.S and sharing it with us mere mortals. So, we can all look S.S.S ! Keep up !


The beauty does not end with the shades. Its flows deep into the packaging. The packing is in S.S.S.Steel. Totally drool worthy bamboo inspired packaging ! Sure the collection is being released a little late but like they say in Hindi - Der Aaye Durust Aaya ( I need some clarification on what Durust means exactly. I have a general idea :p)

NOTE for Desi girls : This is one collection you have to check out. The colors revolve around pink - brown, mauve - pink and taupe. Great for several occasions, work and just plain everyday. It is also check out worthy for women who wanna keep it subtle yet not too boring. The colors look like they'll flatter a range of skin tones; which is just what Desi ones are - a mile long range of skin tones !

The Body Shop Hot Brights Collection : Review

Love the name - Hot Brights ! Sounds like a 80's inspired theme to me. Wouldn't you agree ? Why would you . I have no clue what I'm talking about or what the 80's were like. I am a 90's girl ! I think.

The Hot Brights Collection from The Body Shop is a small and complete collection with two products in each category. Totally in love with pink that I am...I was happy with the pink-purple theme they had going. Isn't pink and purple totally 80's ? Like I said, I wouldn't know...

If it weren't for the cute oval packaging I'd have totally hopped, skipped and jumped over the Hot Brights Eye Colors. They are matte. Isn't matte eyeshadow like totally 80's ? What I mean is I am not a fan of matte eye shadows. But if you are , then this is your cue to stand up and sing Take My Breath Away ....or Eternal Flame...or The Way You make Me Feel by MJ. That's a good one ! I'd totally sing The Way You make Me Feel for the Hot Brights Eyeliners. Pretty purple on big brown eyes - perfect match. It also helps that the pencil is creamy and easy to use.

What did take my breath away was the Lip Shine / Cheek Stain. I got tough competition at my gym with all the Real Desperate Housewives of Dallas County showing off their fake hair extensions and real six packs. So I fake it too...I fake juicy red lips and cheeks. I fake the just had a mad-m#@e-o@t- session-with-cute-vampire-next-door juicy red lips and cheeks. Hey, I'm a beauty blogger whoz totally not into working out and does not have a cute vampire next door. So don't blame me for wanting to fake it ! My vampire bitten red lips carry me through one hour of wretched cardio. What more can I ask for ! Looking glamorous while working out is every girl's dream !

If you're a 80's girl, forgive my inability to remember what it was like back then. May be you could tell me about it...


Love,
Indian Girl
