Hot pink is my pick ;)


Move over the scarlet red ladies, hot pink is my pick of the season.

The bright red nails are sported by tons of gals out there. Move on from it and experiment with hotter shades. Puhleez, the neon colors are such a pain in the eyes. You look a Asian Paints employee sporting shade cards for kennels, unless you are like 13. Be a lady and keep it stylish :) This color will complement gals of any complexion unlike the red which is only meant for fair gals :)

Signing off, in style ;)

StreetWear Luscious lips Truly Mauve review



This one from StreetWear is a must have for all the ladies out there who prefer to keep it simple and elegant.
I have been using this over a year now and I must say it's an amazing product. Generally I prefer to be sans make up except for Kajal, so this color works perfectly for me for days I want to be all decked up. It blends well with your natural lip color well and gives an illusion of the perfect pout. Depending on the amount you apply, this color can be worn as a day wear and even as an evening wear if you blend it with a gloss of a shade darker than this one. It gives an illusion of reddish lips when blended with a lip balm. It comes in a sturdy, classy silver case, weighs around 4 gms. The best part is, it doesn't turn flaky when you eat or drink anything. It just fades a little with time which can always be fixed with a touch up. The moisture is simply locked in it. It glides smoothly and evenly on your lips and just dabbing it on gives an illusion of naturally exfoliated lips :)  The fragrance is not very obvious, much like how lipsticks have always smelled unlike StreetWear Lip gloss which has a yummy fruity fragrance(Review coming soon) Try it, you won't be disappointed.

How much:- Rs 380 (A bit too much I know, but you won't be disappointed :) )
Where to buy:- It's available across all lifestyle stores including Big Bazaar.

Hate floaters??? Yup...so do I :(


Hey pretty ladies :) The monsoons are here. So is the muck and water. And it sucks. Many of you out there hate big floaters, and so do I. So, a simple tip for all of you to enjoy the rains with style ;)

The floaters are comfortable I know, but I hate them. They look really big and boyish. Instead go for these strappy pairs. Elegant ones in black, white or burgundy. They look simple and are oh so comfortable to wear. On days when it isn't pouring, go for slip ons. Team them up with knee length capris or skirts. Throw on a anklet to add a classy touch to it and you are good to go ;)

Colorbar Kohl Review


Okay I must say I was  little skeptical about changing my Kajal brand since it is something I just can't live without since almost 10 years :D I am a Himalaya addict since it is the safest among all other brands. Even Lotus herbals is something I can safely recommend.
I was impressed with the Colorbar Kajal. It comes in a stylish silver pack. It is a hassle free thick pencil which can be sharpened for further use. It comes with a small cover case which ensures it is away from dust and dirt. It's the blackest Kajal so far. (girls I know blackest is a stupid term but U will know what I mean) On a single stroke application on my hand, u can see black color.
The best part of this Kajal is that it is ultra black. I had applied it as 2 stroke in my eye and it gives a good jet black line. It is safe to apply inside. I would recommend it since I wear contact lenses and I have to be very careful about the eye make up products, this is really safe. No redness, watering or irritation. At the end of the day comes off with a soft tissue or simply by washing your face :) It is very smooth and doesn't hurt unlike most of the pencil Kajals. It stays on for a long time. A repeated application required after 4-5 hours :)
The one thing you have to be careful about is that it smudges a little. You can avoid that by applying loose powder before applying Kajal and you are good to go :)

How much:- Rs 150 (good value for money)

Where to buy:- I got it from Urbantouch.com, which is a reliable portal for branded stuff. The discount is almost nil but you can rely on the product for originality. Else, it is available in most of the branded cosmetic stores :)

Classy splash of colors :)


Hey all you cute gals out there :) This is my first post in the Panache Horizon. This is one thing that is most unlikely of me to buy since I hate anything that has more than 2 colors :P Even clothes. But these cute steals is something I just couldn't resist to buy. They are just perfect to brighten up any casual thing you wear to college.

The bag is just perfect for college. It has 3 big partitions for books, files and your essentials ;) and 1 small pocket for keys and ID. It is big enough to hold your files and strong to hold even a small Netbook. I wouldn't recommend carrying laptop in this bag since it's a street pick and you don't want to experiment with your expensive lappy right??? The strap is adjustable and makes it easy to carry even as a hand bag. What I didn't like is that there is only one strap and the material is kind of disappointing. Overall a good pick for girls like me who still play the matching matching game :) This will go with all your tops and tees :)
Comes in 3 colors, Pink, Black and Navy blue. I picked pink coz it's slightly brighter and feminine.
How much:- Rs 150
Where to buy :- I picked it from Kalyan, Available in most of the shopping stalls across the city.

The shoes, actually are mojris. Which is why you can't distinguish between right and left :D It's unlike other desi mojris which makes them more like slip ons. Comfortable, stylish and again goes with kurtis, patialis, tops and skirts. Flat soled and very comfortable. Since my shoe size is more than the conventional sizes I didn't have a chance to bargain. Avoid them on days when it is raining heavily. Might slip away from your feet :)
How much:- Rs 250
Where to buy:- Again my large feet has no choices in Mumbai, so I picked em up from Jaipur. It's available across the city. Don't pay more than Rs 150

Happy shopping ladies ;)
