Target, Aliexpress Haul

" Everyone is a painter and a sculptor of their own life"

Hi everyone 
I just went shopping to Target and bought a scented candle. Its a French lavender scented candle jar which was on sale. The price was 7$ and worth the price. The pic below

The other product is urban decay naked palette 2. I have been thinking to buy the palette for a long time but as you all know its quite expensive. I came across Ali-express website which sells them at a low price (9$ shhh) so I thought to give it a try.If I love it and can use daily I will buy the original one. I ordered 36 days ago and just received it yesterday. Wow I am so impressed with the product. The product is like the UD palette and even the eyeshadow was pretty pigmented and so soft and is a dream to apply. The pics of the palette and the swatches are below. It also comes with the UD brush which is of good quality. I am so satisfied with the product. The one thing in buying from Ali express is the shipping time to reach you is long and you have to be careful of the sellers. Buy from a seller who has more transactions and feedback is good just like ebay.

Walk near the lake with my hubby

                                  " From a small seed a mighty trunk grows 

                                     so wait until the tree is strong to show off "

Hi everyone 

It's winter in Australia which is worst with very cold nights and this weather was accompanied by rain which is so bad in weekends. The weather was a kind of romantic so me and hubby took a small walk near the lake. You have be there to see the natures beauty wow. The lake was covered with thin layer of fog and  you can see the buildings trees peaking out of the fog. It's like natures playing hide and seek. I took some photos and I am sure that my iPhone did not do justice in picking up the beautiful colour of the lake. I guess something is better than nothing. My hubby was whining because it was cold but I insisted him to come, which in-turn turns out to be a nice romantic walk. There is nothing compared to the walk near the lake with slight drizzling and holding hands with the person who is love of your life. What a feel just enjoyed its like pumping the love in the busy lifestyle. I would love to share it with the photos with you.

How to cope with stress? Suggestions pls

Hi everyone
This post is just for me. I am stressed out to the maximum.
I am becoming depressed which inturn is driving me crazy and I want out.
Do you know that everyone changes in time. They are all the same except different packages that it. Everything is the same. You cannot except anything anymore because one disappointment after another. No one is treating anyone as they should treat them. One cannot be adjusting all the time. If you reach the maximum bending they can do life will be miserable. World is full of lies lies lies. you should have something for people to acknowledge you. Even then rules are different for male and female. Dont consider that life will be full of roses there will be stinging thorns in it. I dont know what to grab to stay calm. How can someone be so stupid. Everyone are equal in the damn world. If you cannot understand anything in this post its because this is just for me.
I need to relieve myself from it. Please any suggestions?

Review of BYS - An Australian Brand

" Life comes with ups and downs"

PP

Greetings everyone

This is a short and sweet review of two products from the Australian brand BYS. This cosmetic line provides affordable makeup like the NYX and ELF brand in America. If you are starting with makeup then try this brand for trails. The BYS products are worth the price and have a pretty good quality.

The two products which I am going to review are

1) BYS 18 color palette mix 1 

The palette pic without flash light

The eyeshadow palette contains only shimmer colors. The colors vary from blues, pink, purple, gold and bronze shimmers. The eye shadows are quite pigmented and  has a creamy texture when applying. The best thing is they have less fall outs compared with other eye shadows. The shadows does not crease for 3 hours and has a nice sheen when applied less. The only disadvantage is that some eye shadows have a white shimmer to it so the color does not pop out. For example the coral, pink and pale blue color just shows as white shimmer which is not pleasing. Below I have swatches of the color white, baby pink, blue, gold, antique gold color and grey color. Out this most color look like white shimmer. 

2) BYS lipstick in naked rose L31

The lipstick is so creamy and butter like texture. This a nude lip color with a hint of pink to it. This color so looks so good on me and my perfect nude color.

I have been using this color for everyday makeup and loving it. Sometimes I top it with the pink lip gloss for more pinky lips. The lip stick does not have any smell to it. I have tries other color from the brand but did not like it. This is only color I prefer. I have also tried BYS shimmer pearls but I hated it. it had a chemical smell to and I did not even put it on my face. The worst product ever BYS shimmer pearls. 

BYS products can be bought from 

Fashionaddict.com.au

Top Bargain shops

Kmart

Verdict:

BYS 18 color palette - 2.5/5

BYS lipstick naked rose - 4/5

Will I repurchase it : No I would like to try other products. These are not my holy grail products.

Cheers :)

My journey of reducing weight started and it has been 3 days since I started small changes in my lifestyle.Its so hard but I am trying to do it. My first aim is to stop sugar but that was so hard. So I  have reduced the amount by half. Its so damn hard for me to drink tea without sugar so I am drinking tea with half amount of sugar. I have reduced the portion of the food and eating more greens. I am doing exercise at home because it was raining. Today I went for cycling for the first time for half an hour. I think I am going to continue it.Doing face yoga method have caused me pain in my neck so I gave a two day rest. Now the pain is gone I am starting to do the neck exercise from tomorrow. Since I have eating less food I am not able to have a sound sleep and not having energy I think once I start exercising I will feel more pumped up. Its the first one month which is crucial if I try to do everything till the end of June I can continue my healthy life.

Things I am doing:

Cycling 

Face yoga method

Shilpa shetty yoga

Using half the amount of sugar

Trying to Do:

Go for walk

lifting weights

Abdominal exercises at home
