ColourPop Ultra Satin Lips is a new range of liquid lipsticks launched recently and I love this formula! They are very pigmented, set to a comfortable satin/matte finish and do not dry out lips. The only issue with the Ultra Satins is that they transfer. As ColourPop puts it, the colors “kiss and tell”. They don’t go all over the place but yes, if you’ve had a very heavy meal, then do take a mirror out and check your face once!
TIGI S Factor Deep Conditioning Treatment Experience
Some days back, TIGI got in touch and asked if I was willing to try out any of their hair care services at the newly opened TIGI training centre in Kolkata. The timing was just right. My hair has recently turned very dry and I was looking to get a treatment done so I asked what would be an appropriate service to go for. I was recommended the S Factor Deep Conditioning treatment specially designed to treat very dry, brittle and chemically treated hair that lacks shine.
I was met by Annette who explained to me about S Factor. “S Factor creates hair that oozes red carpet glamour. For everyone wanting serious glamour, S Factor creates shine, shimmer and silky soft hair“. A wide range of products are available under the S Factor label that offer Repair and Nourishment, Shine, Colour Protection, Smoothing and Styling. In Kolkata, S Factor products and services are available in select salons like Bridgette Jones, Headturners, Colours, June Tomkyns etc.
Cocktail Masterclass with USL-Diageo + Recipes
Last week, I attended a fun event at Shisha Bar Stock Exchange. Shantanu Sengupta, United Spirits Brand Ambassador took an exciting cocktail making masterclass for us bloggers and the theme was cricket. We learned how to make cocktails such as ‘Smirnoff PowerPlay’ and ‘Summer Cricket’ and also got to play the role of a mixologist! I created Smirnoff Cool Off, a refreshing drink made with Smirnoff 21, lychee juice, cranberry juice, lime water and rose water. And if I may add, did a pretty good job 🙂
Shantanu was a very good teacher explaining to us the nuances of making and serving cocktails – sharing tips and tricks on how to pour a drink, how to stir properly and how to taste a drink before serving to someone else. The best part about the session was that he chose cocktails which don’t require too many ingredients, are very easy to make and apt for summer.
Here are a few recipes if you want to try your hand at making some delicious cocktails at home.

When you get the opportunity to interact with the the legendary Mickey Contractor regarding all things makeup and learn about M.A.C’s Spring/Summer ’16 Trends, you do not miss that opportunity. I set an alarm to get up at 8.30, got ready and left home to meet the man at M.A.C’s Quest Mall store at noon. Unfortunately, the horrendous traffic let me down and I reached when he was mid-way into answering questions and decoding two SS’16 looks that he created. Thankfully, I was not too late and did manage to come back with a few tips from the makeup maestro.
