My Take on Lakme 9 to 5 Creaseless Lpstick in Fuschia field:-

Fuschia field is a vibrant and bright pink shade. It comes in a golden packaging and looks super elegant. To be honest, I am a bigggg fan of Loreal and MAC lipsticks so never ever thought of using any other brands. Lakme always had some god collections and shades, but I feel this is the best one. It is super creamy, pigmented and doesnt settle in fine lines. This can be used for the day and night look.The best part of this lipstick is it contains SPF15 and essential oils which is good for the lips.

For the day and night look, this can be teamed up with a swipe of kajal. It is totally apt for those cute lovey dovey dates and proffessional work parties.It instantly makes the face look brighter and stays for a longgg time. I usually prefer applying lip balm , then wiping it off and then applying this shade. This shade can suit most of the Indian tones but as it is a brighter one , you need to wipe the excess with the tissue. If you face the problem of dry lips, then it is god if you apply the lip balm before applying this

Conclusion:- Fuschia field is definitely about”Something hot.. Something bright… Something pink”, If you looking for a bright lip shade , then this one is definitely the one for you.

Stay Fit with these Fitness Apps

Being fit seems to be the priority of every individual in today’s world. We go to gym for a workout , walk about an hour daily and eat healthy.. There’s so much to do for all the fitness freaks. But what about the days you cannot go for a workout or have no time for it or too lazy to do it basically. That’s when technology plays a role. Today I will be listing down my personal favourite fitness apps for you which can be used anywhere and at anytime. These apps can be downloaded on your Smartphone and can be easily used.

You can read my previous post on 5 Books for Weight Loss which may change your perspective here

1) Pedometer

No time for those tedious workouts?? Prefer a walk instead, then this ones for you. This app is my go to app as I use it daily. You can count your steps and monitor your calories burned and the distance covered on this app.You can pause it any point of time and resume it again. It also has basic tabs for resetting the count whenever you want. Totally handy and easy to use…

You can download it on Google Play Store here and on ITunes store here .

2) My Calorie Counter

 

Interesting name?? Isn’t it.. I am a complete foodie and the word calorie is something I never cared about until I really wanted to lose weight. Keeping a track of eating within 1200 calories is difficult. So My Calorie Counter helps me in tracking the calorie count. Initially when you install this app from Google Play store, you have to sign up with some basic details. After logging in, they ask for your basic goal , I wanted to lose weight. It is a very simple and basic app but remembering and updating what I ate the entire day is a bit difficult . So I keep on updating it meal wise. The best part is they give you personalized plan of calorie intake according to your height and weight. So go ahead and install this.. Its a great app..

You can download it on Google Play Store here and on ITunes Store here.

3) FitbitScreenshot_2016-03-17-20-31-00-1
Fitbit is an app which can be used with Fitbit Surge, Charge HR, Charge, Flex, One or Zip tracker with your Android device. You can connect the app with these and track daily goals , exercise regime, manage calories. The best part to stay motivated is to compete with your friends and this app allows you to do that. So its fun using this app always.

You can download it on Google Play Store here

4) Nike+ Running

Hello everyone,

I am so obsessed with colours and especially right now, as summers have began. We all prefer wearing bright colours during summer season. Nail paints are one such essential item in my beauty kit, I mean I really cant live without them. Changing nail colours frequently is one of my habit or hobby. There are so many nail colours and I am always curious to try all of them together. So lets talk about some nail paints you could try this summer.

1) Maybelline Color Show- Sweet Sunshine

Sunny days are here again and so is the shade yellow. This one by Maybelline Color show is a treat to the nails. Its a bright yellowish shade and totally apt for this season.

2) Maybelline Color Show- Feisty Fuschia

Another one from the Maybelline Color Show series. Well , I really like almost all the colours of that range, but this one is definitely my favorite. It is a hot pink shade and will look great in summers. A pink had to be included… Which girl can stay without a pink colour in their stash?? I am sure no one.. Hehe..
3) Loreal Paris Le Vernis Nail Enamel – Fatal Love

L-Oreal-Paris-411--Fatal-Love-Cr-Le-Vernis-Nail-Enamel-7242-502097-1-pdp_slider_m_lr

Love can indeed be fatal and dangerous just like this deep red shade from Loreal Paris Le Vernis range. This is perfect for a date night during the summers. We all love red, so its perfect for that then.

4) Nykaa Pastel Nail Paint Collection – Mint Meringue

Pastel shades are for summers basically. Mint meringue is a minty greenish shade which looks beautiful on any pastel dress or attire. I totally love this shade.

5) StreetWear Color Rich Nail Enamel- Lady Blue Eyes

I was never fond of a blue nail paint ever, but when I bought this it had to become my favourite. At a mere price of Rs 70, this one is a superb pick. Its a blue shade which will definitely suit Indian skin tone. Its definitely worth a try.
Well, so this is my tried and tested list of the nail paints I have loved using this summer. Let me know if you like any of them and comment your favourites too.
