Photo Booth Fun

Photo Booth Fun

I got a haircut & since I was in need for a change, I decided to chop off around 4 inches off my hair length & get a fringe/blunt bangs. I've had blunt bangs twice before as well, but this time I don't like them as much. Actually to put it rather bluntly (ha-ha!) they're annoying me more than anything.

Anyway, winged eyeliner is something that I think looks great with blunt bangs & I've seen a lot of women with this hairstyle rock bold lips too. Maybe this time around I'll break out of my comfort zone & try wearing some bold lip colours on a regular basis as well.

Here's what half my face looked like after I tried out a new eyeliner & a light pink lip (that I wouldn't usually wear out):

 

I wasn't wearing any makeup on the other half of my face, but I think the Kaleidoscope effect on Photo Booth made the pictures look quite nice.

Have any suggestions for a bold lip colour?

Make sure you let me know what colours you'd like to see on the eyes along with the bold lip colour too.

Fashion Show at the 9th Semi-Annual Kismet Wedding Show

Fashion Show at the 9th Semi-Annual Kismet Wedding Show

This is going to be my last post about the fashion show at the 9th Semi-Annual Kismet Wedding Show. This will be a mix of designs that I liked from the remaining 3 boutiques. I'm not sure which boutique each of these outfits are from because of some confusion, but they're from Chunri Creations, Herz N Hiz, &/or Raja Fashions.

I want the outfit on the left. It's so beautiful & I'm completely in love with it.

I can see myself wearing this. It's definitely my style because of the high collar, long shirt, full sleeves, & the colours!

Elegant!

This isn't something that I would wear because of the short top & short sleeves but the colours are pretty & the work on the top makes it stand out a lot.

If it wasn't for the red dupatta, I wouldn't have picked this outfit but the red makes it look amazing!

Those were my top picks from the rest of the outfits that were showcased on the runway. I only have 2 videos because I forgot to record the outfits presented by one of the boutiques.

I hope you enjoyed this little series of posts on the fashion show at the 9th Semi-Annual Kismet Wedding Show. I really liked the fashion show & seeing all the vibrant colours, beautiful materials, & heavy embroidery. I'm looking forward to visiting another South Asian fashion show :)

That's all for now. I think I've posted enough this week, so I'll be taking a break till next week.
Take care lovelies ♥

Here's more from the fashion show at the 9th Semi-Annual Kismet Wedding Show. If you read my blog you might have seen my past two posts featuring Naz Fashion Bug & CTC West's designs. If not, I have linked the names of the boutiques to the posts so check those out.

Today, I'll be posting about Frontier Heritage - a boutique that I've visited before & loved. Some of the outfits at this boutique are so pretty & the boutique itself is nice & spacious. I'm including pictures of my favourite outfits from them at the fashion show & a video as well. The photos are shown in the order that they appeared in during the show.

 

I didn't get to capture the first 3 outfits in the video, but the first 3 outfits featured in this post were actually the first 3 outfits that Frontier Heritage presented on the runway.

Which one of these outfits would you like to wear?

9th Semi-Annual Kismet Wedding Show - featuring CTC West

9th Semi-Annual Kismet Wedding Show - featuring CTC West

2 days ago I posted about my favourite designer at the 9th Semi-Annual Kismet Wedding Show. Today I will be sharing my 2nd favourite boutique, CTC West, that displayed its designs at the fashion show. This is a boutique that I haven't heard of before but I spoke to one of the guys at the exhibition area on the floor & he said that all the outfits can be customized,which I thought is pretty neat. In this post featuring CTC West, I'll only be posting my top 5 outfits of the night by this boutique, so here they are (in the order that they appeared in the show):

The host, Veronica Chail, wore one of their outfits.

I'm not sure how the first outfit would look once the bride is seated because the model was holding the front of the outfit the whole time.

This second outfit isn't something that I would pick for myself since it would bring unwanted attention to my big hips, but the model carried the outfit so well. Also, this model was absolutely stunning & one of my fav at the show!

The outfit below didn't photograph as good as it looked in person.

I didn't really like the gold body at first but this outfit is simply stunning.

Here's a video with all the outfits that were shown on the ramp.

Let me know if you'd like me to post the rest of the pictures by CTC West on my Facebook page. I'll be posting more pictures & videos from the fashion show soon.

The winged eyeliner & falsies make this eye look seem more girly & flirty.

9th Semi-Annual Kismet Wedding Show - featuring Naz Fashion Bug

9th Semi-Annual Kismet Wedding Show - featuring Naz Fashion Bug

This past weekend (Sunday, February 12, 2012) I attended the 9th Semi-Annual Kismet Wedding Show. It was my first time attending a South Asian wedding & fashion show, so I was really looking forward to it. The fashion show was a nice experience & 6-7 designers/boutiques showcased their designs. My favourite designer of the show was Nazish Khan of Naz Fashion Bug. Her designs stood out the most to me because they had a Pakistani flare as compared to the rest of the Indian designers. Also, I've always been attracted to bridal outfits with longer shirts/tops & it's something that I would look for in a bridal outfit for myself, which is another reason why I loved these outfits as compared to most of the others at the show.

Enjoy the pictures & the video as well!

Which outfit from this post did you like the most?

Too Faced Natural Eye Palette - Look 3

Too Faced Natural Eye Palette - Look 3

This is going to be the last look that I post using the Too Faced Natural Eye palette before my Too Faced giveaway ends. It's also your last chance to gain an additional entry toward the contest if you comment on this post before 11:59pm EST tonight (Tuesday, February 07). Keep reading to find out more.

This is my favourite look out of the 3 looks that I've posted using this palette so far. It's really simple to achieve as well. I started off by applying the highlight colour (a mix of Silk Teddy & Nude beach) under my brow. Then I patted Sexspresso (a matte brown) on the lid. Once I got the lid colour to the intensity that I wanted, I started blending it up toward the browbone. I also used Sexspresso on the lower lashline. Since I don't like using shimmery colours in the tear duct area, I applied Heaven (a matte off-white) in the tear duct area to brighten it up a bit. All the eyeshadows mentioned are from the Too Faced Natural Eye palette.

I added brown eyeliner on the waterline, black eyeliner on the upper lashline, & black mascara on my upper & lower lashes. I finished off the look by cutting one of my falsies in half & used the halves on the outer corners of each eye.

You can now win a Too Faced Natural Eye palette along with other Too Faced goodies through my Too Faced giveaway! You will also have the chance to gain an additional entry by commenting on this post.

Too Faced Natural Eye Palette - Look 2

Too Faced Natural Eye Palette - Look 2

This look is almost identical to the previous post: Too Faced Natural Eye Palette - Look 1. The only difference is that the colours look so different. I don't remember which eyeshadows I used, but they were from the Too Faced Natural Eye palette as well. All I remember is that I used 1 colour (either Erotica or Cocoa Puff) in my crease & kept adding the crease colour little by little & kept blending it out.

Too Faced Natural Eye Palette - Look 1

Too Faced Natural Eye Palette - Look 1

I did this look 2 months ago so I don't remember the exact eyeshadows that I used. I wish I had written it down, but for now I'd say that I used Heaven under my brow, Push-Up or Honey Pot on the lid, & Erotica &/or Cocoa Puff in the crease & blended it up toward the browbone. All eyeshadows mentioned are from the Too Faced Natural Eye palette.
