Estee Lauder Holiday 2009 Ultimate Red Collection - Opulent Shimmer Powder : Review & Swatches
The New Ultimate Red Collection from Estee Lauder is a brilliant mix of golds and striking reds packaged in the most beautiful golden compacts. It spells luxury and sophistication, all the way. The collection has 2 sets of eyeshadow quads, four lipsticks, four lip glosses, couple of eyeliners and the Opulent Shimmer Powder .
The Opulent Shimmer Powder ($32) is one my most favorite pieces of makeup - ever. Makes me feel like Middle Eastern royalty with the glistening golden shimmer shine glistening on my cheeks. It is a huge compact and if you plan on using the shimmer powder only on your face , it is going to last a long long time. It can also be used to highlight your shoulders and Décolletage!
If you want to get just one piece from this entire collection I would recommend this one. Especially if you are a bride - nothing spells out glamour and sophistication like this on your D-Day ! It is obvious shimmer without being too obvious or glittery. Some might say its too much for everyday - I don't. A little shimmer here and there makes me a very happy girl !
Using a fan brush lightly dust the shimmer powder along your eye bone - The C area on the outer corner of your eye to the top of your cheeks. Stand back and check out the even more gorgeous you ! Personally I would love any product from this collection as a holiday gift and something tells me I am not the only one hoping to get one !
And with this I plan to claim my Makeup Blog title back !

This Is About Drying Sheets
Yes, I got the title right !
And this post will be about drying sheets.
Don't run away ! Its a funny story about me, my stinking clothes and stuffing paper towels under my arms.
Just when you thought you had me figured.
Just when you thought you knew I liked tall boys with dimples, eye shadows with shimmer, lip glosses without a taste, scared of little dogs and clowns. Just when you thought you knew everything about me and my blog I throw this at you. This is the in between part of makeup, beauty and everything else in between that my blog is about.
Get ready !
I have a hate hate and some more hate relationship with Drying sheets. If you are now thinking something along the lines of "Tell me about it" stick around and nod your head as I continue with my story. I have a lot to tell. If you are not - its about time you do your own laundry !!
I hate drying sheets with a passion because nothing smells good. I especially hate the ones that are said to have a lavender scent. Who makes these ? The lavender stinks up my clothes with a chemically , highly synthetic nauseating scent that was for sure concocted by a chemist in his boring lab who had never gotten out to smell fresh lavender flowers.
Then there are the fresh scents. They are called fresh - that's all. Who decided this was fresh? Its not to me. Its very dull and stale.
This one time for three continuous days I thought my deodorant had stopped working and that my body was working over time to produce a weird onion like stink. I kept sniffing myself, hoping and praying no one came within five feet of me. I kept running into the ladies room and stuffing paper towels under my arms thinking something was wrong with my body. But there was no sweat - it was just a weird onion like stink.
Three days later I figured it was the wretched drying sheet.
You get my drift now. I have enough reason to hate them . And they come in sets of 60 to 120. So, there is no way I can finish them in less than six to eight months.
So, a couple of months back I did what I always do when I finally finish the box of sheets. I hit Walmart, stood in the laundry aisle and stared at all the sheets. I knocked each down off with my killer vision and they fell down ashamed. And then I read Jojoba Essence. Now that's good right ? Lotsa beauty people talked about Jojoba oils. Also, I loved the light golden packaging and it wasn't lavender or even worse fresh scent ! So, I picked it up (The Jojoba Essence Drying Sheets by Snuggle Creme) and ran home to wash my two loads of laundry.
For the first time - I am happy. Happy enough to tell y'all about it. The scent is subtle and my laundry smells fresh. Just the right amount of fragrance. Nothing that will have me sniffing my clothes to make sure I did not smell of drying sheets. Or was that onions ? Nothing that provokes my gag reflexes. Just a gentle delicate scent. Just what I craved.
You can stop nodding now. My story is over.
Thank you for listening and the applause at the end.
Thank you. No really, Thank you.

Indian Girl

World's Worst Traffic Jam
Traffic jam.. i'm sure every people in the world are really hate it.. because you can lose your precious time and get stuck on your car in an uncomforted situation.. but you must be grateful that your haven't in these situation.. a traffic jam from hell.. maybe this is the worst traffic jam which happen in the world.. OK here is the world's worst traffic jam..
First picture is taken from the window of Red Hat's offices in Sao Paulo, Brazil, followed by various location around the world, with Russia featured quite prominently -

Unregulated mess somewhere in Russia:
Here is the classic traffic jam that terrorized Moscow Sadovoye Koltzo (ring road) in October 2007:
This particular congestion is not actually a traffic jam. It happened in Italy during the strike, creating bottle-necks for trucks at the border:

9 Tips To Avoid Male Impotence
Let’s face it: not being able to get it up is a sexually-active man’s worst nightmare. Sure, your partner can offer comforting words like, “it happens”, or “it’s ok, it’s not your fault” every single time your mini-me fizzles out on you in bed, but do they in any way make you feel better? Didn’t think so.
There are, however, ways you can try to avoid being put in that situation, and were not talking about buying a truckload of that little blue pill. Well, at least hold doing that off until you’ve at least tried doing the things listed below.
There are, however, ways you can try to avoid being put in that situation, and were not talking about buying a truckload of that little blue pill. Well, at least hold doing that off until you’ve at least tried doing the things listed below.
1. Quit smoking
Smokers, particularly those who have been heavy smokers for a long time, run a greater risk of becoming impotent. Or suffering a stroke. Or a heart attack. Or getting lung cancer. I could go on forever…
2. Cut back on the booze
Better to stop drinking altogether, but if you can’t, it’s fine, as long as you drink in moderation. Imbibing alcohol in copious amounts shocks the nervous system and does damage to blood vessels, leading to impotence.
3. Eat healthy
Eating heart-friendly food is good for sexual potency as well, so veggies and fresh fruits should always be on your diet. Food high in cholesterol and sodium should be avoided as much as possible.
4. Get regular exercise
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that exercise does wonders for the body, even for just a few times a week. Men who exercise at least three to five hours weekly cut their risk of having erection problems by up to 30%.
5. Get laid on a regular basis
Sex is basically some sort of exercise for the penis. The more frequent the erections, the more regular blood flow into the penis becomes. For those without partners, you know what to do.
6. Check your meds
If you’re under medication for any sort of health condition, ask your doctor if some of the meds you’ve been prescribed have any side effects on sexual potency.
7. Manage your stress
Stress is commonly blamed for most cases of impotence, so managing it is essential to overcoming the condition. It’s not the easiest thing to do, but there are ways, and it’s up to you to seek out what works for you.
8. Catch enough zzzzzzz’s
Ideally, eight hours of sleep should do it. Get a whole lot less shut-eye and your body will be stressed out, and all that stress will soon take its toll on your sex life.
9. Do Kegel exercises
Kegel exercises, named after the doctor who devised them, are said to promote better sexual health by working the pubococcygeus (PC) muscle, which you can find by just tensing the muscles in your pelvic floor until you get the one that makes your thing jump. These exercises are reputed to help maintain and control ejaculations and erections, as well as increase blood flow to the penis.
10 Excuses To Have Sex Regularly
So you want to get laid on a regular basis (who doesn’t?). But you don’t want to be seen as just some horny being preoccupied with nothing more than sexual gratification. Don’t worry. There are several excuses, legitimate ones at that, that you can slap on the faces of people who tease you about your very active sex life, which they are probably green in envy of in the first place. Here are some of them:
1. Sex is a natural beauty treatment
A roll in the hay triggers the production of the hormone estrogen in women, giving them shiny hair and smooth skin.
2. Sex relieves headaches
Have a headache? Reach for your partner, not a box of painkillers. Sex releases the tension that restricts blood vessels in the brain, effectively relieving headaches.
3. Sex is a natural antihistamine
Unclog stuffy noses, as well as battle hay fever and asthma with a night of energetic sex.
4. Sex improves your sense of smell
The production of the hormone prolactin soars after a lovemaking session, which in turn triggers the development of new neurons in the brain's smell center.
5. Sex boosts the immune system
According to a study conducted by Pennsylvania’s Wilkes University, people who get lucky once or twice a week show 30% higher levels of immunoglobulin A, an antibody that boosts the immune system. That means less frequent colds and flu. Imagine what it’s like for people who have sex every single day.
6. Sex cures mild depression
Endorphins, that feel-good chemical produced by the human body, are released into the bloodstream with sex, thereby giving a person that feeling of euphoria and sense of well-being.
7. Sex reduces heart disease/stroke risk
Men who have sex three or more times a week reduce their risk of heart attack or stroke by half, says a 2001 Queens University study. Supporting that is the fact that sex also balances out the good cholesterol to bad cholesterol ratio, as well as reduces the body’s overall cholesterol count.
8. Sex leads to better teeth
Erm, you see, zinc, calcium and other minerals shown to retard tooth decay can be found in seminal plasma. You get the picture.
9. Sex is the best exercise
This one is pretty much clichéd, but undoubtedly true. A round of hot, passionate sex stretches and tones up just about every single muscle in your body.
10. Sex may lead to a longer life
A British study conducted on 3,500 people concluded that sex actually slows the aging process. If that isn’t a good enough excuse yet to have sex regularly, then I don’t know what is.
The Greatest Internet Hoaxes of All Time
For centuries, countless hoaxes have made fools out of people gullible enough to believe that the likes of the Loch Ness monster or that Roswell alien autopsy video were real. You would think that with the advent of modern technology, people would smarten up and take whatever tall tale comes their way with a grain of salt. Wrong.
With the whole world practically online, the number of suckers for hoaxes has increased exponentially. Most of the time, all it takes is one email or one photo to turn even the most highly educated of people into ardent believers in dead fairies, aliens running their own websites, or killer bananas.
Listed below are 12 of the greatest Internet hoaxes of all time. And yes, I was a sucker for at least one when it first came out. As the wrongly-attributed quote goes, there’s one born every minute.
1) 9/11 WTC Tourist Guy Hoax

Listed below are 12 of the greatest Internet hoaxes of all time. And yes, I was a sucker for at least one when it first came out. As the wrongly-attributed quote goes, there’s one born every minute.
1) 9/11 WTC Tourist Guy Hoax
This is the hoax that had me and millions of people all over the world. With emotions running high over the 9/11 attacks, it is but natural that a picture of a clueless male tourist posing on the World Trade Center observation deck with one of the hijacked planes ominously approaching from behind would grab so much attention. And considering that it started appearing online a mere two weeks after the attacks, this is probably the most tasteless and cruel joke I’ve ever come across.
2. Killer Bananas Hoax
The Center for Disease Control purportedly issued this email “warning” sometime in 2000: "several shipments of bananas from Costa Rica have been infected with necrotizing fasciitis, otherwise known as flesh eating bacteria. Recently this disease has decimated the monkey population in Costa Rica. We are now learning that the disease has been able to graft itself to the skin of fruits in the region, most notably the Banana, which is Costa Rica's largest export."
Mark Wahlberg’s character in “Planet of the Apes” sure could have used some of those bananas.
3. "Tommy Hilfiger is a racist" Hoax
A vicious email that circulated sometime in the 1990s said that famous American fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show and said something like "If I'd known that African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish, and Asians would buy my clothes, I would not have made them so nice." Never mind that Hilfiger has never appeared on Oprah until May 2007, and that the establishment of a Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington D.C. is a cause close to his heart.
Naturally, the designer lost money because of the rumor. And his efforts at tracing the origin of the email proved fruitless.
4. Bill Gates Is Giving Away Money!
There are numerous variations of this email about Bill Gates personally contacting people and giving money away, and all you have to do is forward the email. It’s still in circulation, and I bet you $245 this has got to be the most forwarded email ever. At least that’s the amount that was promised me for every person that I send it to that forwards it on.
5. Bonsaikitten.com
Some MIT grad students succeeded in twisting the panties of animal rights activists and the FBI in 2001 when it put up this site which taught people how to shape a "bonsai cat" by squishing a kitten inside a Mason jar using muscle relaxant and feeding tubes. It was all a prank of course.
6. The $250 cookie recipe
Neiman Marcus is known for its pricey items, but this story of a $250 chocolate chip cookie recipe it offers is downright ridiculous. The tale of a woman and her daughter being charged that amount just for the recipe of the store’s delicious cookies has actually been around for decades, and the wonders of email guarantee that it will be around for decades more.
And oh, Neiman Marcus now offers its cookie recipe on its website—for free.
7) The KFC Hoax
According to an email that spread in 2000, Kentucky Fried Chicken has officially changed its name to "KFC" because it no longer used real chickens, but "genetically manipulated organisms." That had "no beaks, no feathers, and no feet. Their bone structure is dramatically shrunk to get more meat out of them."
If you stopped eating at KFC because of this, then good for you and your health. Now all we have to do is circulate an email saying that McDonalds uses earthworms in its burgers or something and we’ll see a significant drop in stroke and heart attack cases everywhere.
8. The Helius Project
Not yet totally and definitively debunked as a hoax, but come on! An alien maintaining a website and communicating with people? Typically enough, many people who have communicated with this “alien” believe that The Helius Project is the real thing. Click here to make contact.
9. Deodorant Causes Cancer
This is probably one of the most convincing forwarded emails ever, and I still have it in my inbox. A woman who was at a health seminar purportedly forwarded a message warning that deodorants can cause breast cancer. The American Cancer Society said this isn’t true, but enough people believed it that the number of people using deodorants went down and the number of smelly people subsequently went up.
10. The "Panic PIN" hoax
The “Panic PIN” hoax is a hoax many people wish wasn’t one. As the story goes, bank customers being forced by robbers to withdraw money from an ATM can alert the police just by entering their PIN in reverse order. Chalk this up to “too good to be true”.
11. Dead fairy hoax
It’s been 90 years since two English girls fooled the world with their pictures of fairies, but not much has changed, really. People are as gullible as ever. Early this year, a website featured pictures of what it claimed to be the mummified remains of a fairy, complete with ears, wings, hair, skin, teeth. Naturally, there was an overwhelming response from fairy believers, who say they’ve also seen something like that before. Even when Dan Baines, the website’s owner, ‘fessed up that it was all a joke, the believers just didn’t believe him. He sold the “remains” on eBay for 280 pounds.
12. "Osama Bin Laden has been captured" hoax
Another hoax that we wish were true: Osama Bin Laden had been captured, says an email that spread in November 2004, that the Bush Administration was just holding the announcement off until right before the 2004 presidential elections. It’s September 2007, and nary a single strand of Osama’s beard has been apprehended.
2. Killer Bananas Hoax
