Tuesday Tip – Issue 3 – Baby Oil

Summer means that you’ll be showing a little more leg and arm than usual and no one likes dry, dull skin.  There is a fabulous range of moisturizers available in the market. However the rich ones are a little too sticky for the summer or the light-weight ones aren’t moisturizing enough so what do we do?

Answer: good old baby oil!  As you are winding down your shower, take a squirt of baby oil and use as a moisturizer.  Then rinse off a little more and towel down.  The oil will have trapped the moisture from the shower and you’ll be left with soft skin with a gorgeous glow.  The best thing about baby oil? It’s cheap and softly scented. I prefer Johnson’s Baby Oil Gel, which is a little easier to apply. So test this out but be careful of slippery bathtubs!

UPDATE: Earlier YouTube link was removed so I’ve found a new one. Enjoy!

If you’ve gone through the blog you can probably tell I’m a big Bollywood fan.  So this week’s Music Monday post goes to a newly leaked track from Bollywood, surprising sung by Akon!

The track is from SRK’s upcoming movie, Ra.One, which from this promo looks to be an epic disaster. However, I absolutely LOVE the song! Can’t wait for the music video to be released.

Celebs Get it Wrong Too – Sonam Kapoor

We all have bad hair days, when our outfits don’t seem to be right or something else is off. But should celebrities get that same excuse? Considering they have a panel of makeup artists, fashion designers, stylists at their beck and call, seeing a celebrity look less than impeccable is unacceptable by us.  So let’s take a look at the latest fashion offender: Sonam Kapoor.

For those who don’t know, Sonam Kapoor is a Bollywood actress crowned the “fashionista” of Bollywood. I think she is a little overrated in this sense but I agree she has a more modern taste compared to most Bollywood actresses.  This year she was spotted at Cannes and this is what she wore to the Chopard bash:

For a tall, skinny girl, I have no idea why she picked this glorified sack from The Row.  Uma Thurman also went with the white combo and turned out rather fabulously.

If I were to let go of the dress, I can’t beleive the mess of makeup and hair she has going.

Sonam is the “young” face of L’Oréal India so shouldn’t they be able to do something about her dark circles? And considering L’Oréal Elnett hairspray is the industry’s standard, why all the frizz? Perhaps Aishwarya Rai can share some of the defrizzing shampoo with Sonam!

Sonam’s other major outfit for Cannes was a Jean Paul Gaultier couture dress. While I love the edginess and cut, something about the derriere doesn’t sit right with me. And again, what’s going on with the heavy layers of eye makeup. It’s summer; go natural!

All being said, no hate for Sonam. We know she’s a gorgeous girl (as verified in person) and hopefully she’ll be back to her gorgeous self as seen on the Elle India cover.

Steal-a-Style: Pippa Middleton’s Knomo

Post-royal wedding, the tabloids have all been about one person: Pippa Middleton. Yes, the younger sister of Princess Kate has become the darling of the presses. Anything she wears, carries, does becomes the next big thing.  So check out Miss Middleton’s London look:

While we adore Pippa’s outfit, we can’t help but approve her great choice in accessories, specifically her sleek laptop bag which we believe to be a Knomo.  As a matter of fact, we picked up our Knomo bag a few months ago as a stylish carrier to match our sleek new MacBook Pro:

We love Knomo for their simple quilted pattern and large range of designs and colors. We settled on a silver Knomo Slim with a gorgeous purple lining and picked up on sale for 25 GBP!  If you approve of Kate and our choices, head over to the online Knomo store or iStyle stores in Dubai.

And because any Pippa Midleton post is incomplete without this reference, we leave you with her gorgeous derriere.

P.S. Shout-out to Ms. AH for noticing Pippa’s Knomo. Thanks for the tip!

Tuesday Tip – Issue 2 – Bright Lipstick

Enjoy the summer with a burst of color on your lips! If you are a pink lover, check out Nars Schiap which Kim Kardashian is rocking. Or go with the color of the season, a firey orange like Mac So Chaud.

If it’s your first time rocking bright lips, try a more muted approach. Apply the lipstick with your fingers to give a softened look and blot with a tissue or powder to give a matte look. Pull the look together with a generous dose of mascara and natural cheeks.
