OXBLOOD AND BLACK

 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Winters are here with bang and finally we can declare it's fall . Hope you all are doing fine and enjoying the weather . Winters are not as draining as summers but Icy cold winds sometimes make it really hard for you to get out of your blanket and dress up . Here in north sun is hardly showing up from last ten days and when today its there people are out like frogs during rains :) Winters could be loved for so many reasons as you don't need to care about the power cuts , bathing twice a day , sticky or bad skin , rubbing ice cubes before makeup to make it stay long , or touch ups after every hour and for that a bag full of paper tissues , but my favourite thing is an excuse for some extra dose of hot cup of tea or hot chocolate .

When it comes to fashion winters throw so many options regarding colours and accessories . You can play with bright colours and can add beanies , caps , ponchos , scarfs and make even a simple outfit stand out . Here I am wearing my basic black sweater from Zara which is super cosy that you can even survive  without any coat or blazer when temperature is as low as 4degrees. I teamed it up with a  pair of oxblood jeans from Vero Moda . Oxblood is the hottest colour this season and you can wear or style in different ways . Pair it with colours like greys , olives , camel , mustards and cream and keep the makeup and accessories minimal to not to make it look gothic. Avoid wearing the matching oxblood lips but don't hesitate to paint your nails in the similar shade if you want to . An oxblood biker jacket is on my wish list this year but sadly haven't found any still .

Here I wore my oxblood with black and added a hint of gold with my golden analog watch and gold anklet heels from Carlton London as accessories , and not to forget about sporty cap to keep myself warm as well as stylish . People are calling Oxblood the new Black but I still feel that Black is Black and it cant be replaced with any other colour in my wardrobe .

Hope you liked the look and do share with me how you are going to incorporate colour oxblood in your wardrobe this winter :)

CHAMBOR BLAZING ORANGE AND INDIAN FUSION REVIEW



Being a girl even if you are on a shopping ban for sometime you just cant restrict yourself to window shopping while on a trip to mall  . You still manage to cheat a bit and same thing happens to me everytime . This time I just happened to stop by the Chambor counter to ask them to show me some nice matte colours from their lipstick collection . I liked their range and although it was hard to choose few as most of the colours were amazing and irresistible , but still managed to pick wisely the colours those were missing in my vanity  . One is BLAZING ORANGE (rs.795 ) from their Extreme Matte collection and another one is number 164 INDIAN FUSION (rs.595 ) from their powder matte range. Powder matte range had been launched by Chambor quite long time back but its always new to you when you lay your hands on it

Chambor launched their extreme matte range earlier this year and as claimed by the brand its more than a lipstick its a matte stick . Extremely soft and creamy texture gives a velvety matte finish . Hydrating light weight formula with rich pigments does not dry out your lips . Super long wear and waterproof formula .
                                                              

 Although its risky to wear matte colours during winters when your dried lips are giving you hard time still my love for matte colours these days didn't let me change my decision to buy this one on colour swatch . Having scarcity of orange shades in my lipstick collection I was instantly convinced to buy this Blazing Orange as the colour was perfect fierce orange I was looking out for . When tried it was not at all hard to apply or blend on lips as most of other matte lipsticks are , just some gentle strokes does the job very well . Highly pigmented formula itself it works on pigmented lips very well . Does not dry out lips and has no funky fragrance or taste .Stays well for good 6 to 7 hours but would need touch ups after heavy meals . One thing I really liked about this lipstick is it doesn't transfers to your glasses or spoons. Even most high end lipsticks lack when it come to transferability . Would agree that although being matte it has buttery smooth texture and a nice finish when applied on lips . Glides really smooth and butter like .

The only thing that I didn't like about this matte stick is that it needs to be sharpened otherwise I am quite happy with my purchase
                                                              

Talking about the indian fusion from their powder matte range , with a very normal lipstick packaging  it doesn't look like anything out of box. As described on its cover its a triple action formula that keep your lips hydrated , provides sun protection and has anti ageing properties as well .  Color falls in brick red or basic brown category .On application it really gives you good colour in just one swipe though you can build up the shade if you need to . While choosing colors that fall in coffee or brown shade category I just keep that in check that the shade should not make you look older than your age but this shade being very soft is really great .Very light on lips and has very subtle fragrance . Staying power is good but unlike extreme matte its transferrable onto glasses and spoons . Colour doesnot bleed which is quite expected from it as being a matte shade and no complaints regarding dry lips after application .

I am really loving these two colours from Chambor's matte lipstick collection and would recommend you all to include these in your winter makeup kitty :)

CELEBRATIONS AND RED

 

 

 
 
 
  
   
 
 
 
 
  DRESS - Dorothy Perkins from jabong / LEGGINGS - Lifestyle store / HEELS - River Island from Jabong / BAG - Zara / RING - Mango / NECKPIECE - Koovs / SUNGLASSES - New Look from Koovs
                                                                      
Red is the colour of love , unity , bonding , passion and many things more . For Indians its a colour for traditional ceremonies , festivities , rituals and is related to everything auspicious . Red relates to excitement , celebrations and enthusiasm and wearing this colour when my blog journey almost completed a year and also I completed another year of bonding with my lovely husband is truly justifiable . Each year passed with bond growing stronger and understanding each other better . Getting married in a traditional business family with an attitude that doesn't like girls from family working out to earn a living , he was the one who inspired me to do something of my own . And the girl who always dreamt of Bollywood and fashion , Beauty and Fashion blog became a medium to express and share my love for the same . And I am happy that I tried for it :)

From getting pictures clicked on terrace to clicking pictures without caring about the people staring at you on a busy road , I guess I have definitely come far . Shed many inhibitions and fears , become more confident and more than anything else this girl has learnt to say no when things get over demanding and at last have started living for herself . Blog that was just started as a hobby has become my passion now but with passion sometimes there comes uninvited obsession , and obsession invites all the negative things that blocks ones way to happiness , complicate relationships and growth . But blogging is all about bondings , sharings , learning and spreading love , and if sometimes obsession hits me I just think about the reason behind I started Nainazway . It was all for happiness and love . So keeping up with my love for my blog and thanking all the people who always inspired me to continue this journey and the few hidden ones who are always there to buck me up I promise you all that journey with  Nainazway would emerge out much more stronger and livelier . Thanking you all for being there with me through this one year journey :)

LOVE
