Mosaic Effects

I recently tried Avon’s crackle nail polish. You apply one coat of the Mosaic Effects top coat on completely dry nail enamel and watch it break into a nice design; kind of looks like a leopard design. You have to apply the Mosaic Effects top coat fast, cause it dries quickly. It’s longwearing; stays on my nails for about a week. I had asked my cousin how the crackle nail polish looks on my nails and he said that it looks cool. It will be nice if they’ll have some more colors of this crackle nail polish in the future. I’m giving it a 7.5 out of 10.

This is how it looks on top of my nail enamel in Vivid Violet; I’ve used Avon’s Nail Experts UV Gloss Guard Top Coat on top.

My younger sister has a nice collection of rings, so I also took some pictures of some of her rings. I actually don’t wear that many rings at once; mostly only one or two rings.

I have lots of forms to fill in, which I want to submit by Monday. Hundreds of students along with me have crossed their study period, so the university had hired a consultancy bureau to teach us some leadership and management skills so we can be done with our study within the dispensation period. The forms take days to fill in, so I’ve put my thesis on hold for a few days, so I can resume with it without any obstacles. You ladies enjoy your week!

Beautiful hair of 2011

Hey beauties!

How was your week?

My week went well; busy working on my thesis and it feels good to see that I’m making progress. I love blogging, so this is also my feel-good factor.;) Someone whom I met this week after a long time, made a remark that I look more cheerful. I look at things in a positive way and I don’t have a problem with facing problems, that’s probably why I experience life in a cheerful way.;)

Today I’m blogging about my newest hair products.

 Damage Repair 3D Rescue Leave-In-Treatment

About this product          

The Damage Repair 3D Rescue Leave-In Treatment with fortifying nutrients is designed for dry or damaged hair.

The brochure ads

3 years of hair damage repaired in 3 days. Our leave-in treatment targets and repairs damage on every dimension – the surface, core and ends. 3D Rescue targets hair’s most damaged areas, strengthening hair’s internal, mending split ends and nourishing hair from within.

Instantly repairs 3 types of damage

      1.      CHEMICAL (color treatments, perms)

      2.      THERMAL (blow dryers, curling irons)

                    3.      MECHANICAL (combing and brushing)

What do I think about this product?

This Avon product is great; it’s the best leave-in treatment I’ve tried. It smoothens my hair and my hair stays frizz-free; it smells nice as well. I don’t really have damaged hair, but I had a few split ends. After having used it thrice, I didn’t see any split ends anymore. I had switched over from my Garnier® Fructis® Fortifying shampoo to my Damage Repair Shampoo and Conditioner after having tried this leave-in treatment once. I was afraid of trying the Shampoo and Conditioner of the Advance Techniques line, cause years back I had tried a shampoo of this line and my hair started falling off. Maybe they’ve improved the shampoos by now; the Damage Repair Shampoo and Conditioner works very good on my hair. Vitamins and nourishing moisture polymers help to strengthen and protect hair while reducing flyaways. It’s safe for color-treated hair and suitable for all hair types. This shampoo and conditioner makes my hair softer and I love the silky feel after having washed my hair, though I wouldn’t say that this is the best shampoo and conditioner I’ve tried. My hair is very long at the moment and I have thick hair, so I easily get frizzles. My hair stays manageable and frizz-free for one whole day with the Damage Repair 3D rescue when used together with the Damage Repair Shampoo and Conditioner. When used with my Garnier® Fructis® Fortifying shampoo, my hair stays manageable and frizz-free for two whole days. So the Damage Repair 3D rescue works better with Fructis® shampoo in my opinion. When you’ll order the Damage Repair 3D rescue from your representative you’ll get a free ‘Shimmering Compact Travel Brush’, which is decorated with rhinestones, but it’s of very poor quality. It broke the first time I had used it, but I managed to put the parts together; maybe I can still use it for a few times. The Damage Repair 3D rescue is much cheaper at Amazon, but you won’t get the free plastic travel brush together with it.

My score: a 10 out of 10!

Fergie is promoting the Damage Repair 3D rescue. The ‘Outspoken by Fergie Eau de Parfum Spray’ was Avon’s best-selling fragrance launch ever. Have you ladies tried the new perfume that Fergie is promoting? The ‘Outspoken Intense by Fergie Eau de Parfum Spray’ smells great. It’s a bold floral fruity fragrance.

Hope you enjoyed this post!

Sending you lots of love,

Sharda

Wooden beads set

White is a color you can do beautiful things with. I had made a jewelry set with white and honey-colored beads which I’m sharing with you today. I haven’t done any jewelry making courses or studied books of jewelry making, but I think it’s easy to create your own jewelries without much jewelry making knowledge.;)

This Fancy Sparkling Cuff Watch in white from Avon is matching perfectly together with the set. It has an enamel-look and rhinestone accents on bezel; the ads say that it’s a sparkling circle of unity and perfection. I think it’s a nice everyday watch.

Make the best of your day everyone; time doesn’t stand still.;) The realization that I’m getting a bit older each day and that I’ll probably not be able to do as much in the future as I am capable of doing now, is what pushes me forward to be more productive each day.

Hugs and kisses,

Sharda

 

Cushion Walk Micro Wedge Loafer

What do you ladies think of my new Avon walking shoes? I walk a lot, so cushion-walks are just perfect for me. They’re very comfortable and I love them! These shoes arrived just on time; my old cushion-walk shoes, which I have for about 3 years now, got a little bit loose.

I have to write 7 things about myself, so here I go:

1.      I have a good reputation; I’m a non-smoker, a non-drinker and a God-loving human being.

2.      If I consider you my friend, you can count on me; I love helping others and I’m a forgiving person.

3.      I’m a good listener and one of my friends told me that I can easily make friends.

4.      I have fantasy, ideas, and I stand open for new experiences.

5.      I like organizing my things, planning in advance and thinking of solutions.

6.      I am a go-getter.

7.      I like being independent of others.

The rules are:                     

ü  Give this award to the person from whom you’ve received it and link them

ü  Write 7 things about yourself

ü  Give the award to 15 other blogs and inform them (nominated blogs should deserve this attention and have no more than 100 readers).

A few days back, I had clicked this picture in the city of Paramaribo, which I also want to share with you ladies. Paramaribo is the capital of my country Suriname. You won’t find skyscrapers or very tall buildings out here in Suriname; if I’m correct, the tallest building is 10 storeys high, which is a bank. The city of Paramaribo is the most multi ethnic Caribbean city and it is also called ‘city of smiles’; you’ll find lots of happy smiling people out here.;) The white wooden monumental buildings are one of the characteristics of this city, which you’ll notice on the picture. The yellow building, all the way on the back, is the largest wooden cathedral in the world; maybe I’ll place some close-up pictures of this beautiful cathedral some other time out here.

Jewelries to go along with

 Beautiful Teardrop Necklace and Earring Gift Set

About this product          

This silvertone necklace with faux stones is 17” large and it comes along with a 3” extender. The pierced earrings are 2” long.

The brochure ads

Summer statements. Rise to a new level of smart sophistication with deep blue collections.

What do I think about this product?

This Avon set looks elegant and I love the deep blue color of this set.

Colorful twisted earrings

     

I had made these colorful earrings myself. They were very easy to make; twisting and turning colored wires.:)

Other looks with True Color Eyeshadow Quad in Caribbean Sunset

A lot of my blog visitors seemed to like the way I had applied my True Color Eyeshadow Quad in Caribbean Sunset, that’s why I’m placing some more eye shadow looks out here this time. The colors of the Caribbean Sunset Quad are: dusty brown, radiant orange, deep turquoise and vivid bronze. The back of the box of this quad actually indicates how you should apply this eye shadow quad. There’s a picture of a model wearing this look in the brochure, but I don’t like this look, so I create ‘my own’ looks. If you want to create the look that the model is wearing in the brochure, this is how you should apply this quad. The model is actually wearing the ‘Vibrant Spice Quad’.

I was wearing my True Color Eyeshadow Quad  to the cinema past Thursday night. I went to the cinema together with my brothers and sister to watch the 3D movie ‘Captain America’. Have you guys seen this movie? I wouldn’t say that it’s a great movie, but I liked it. I had created the look below with three colors; instead of the radiant orange I had used my Glimmersticks Diamonds Eyeline in Twilight Sparkle, about which I had talked about in one of my previous posts. I had applied this eyeliner on my inner lash line and along my upper lash line. 4 new beautiful metallic shades of this eye liner will be available soon.

I had also created another look past Saturday with my True Color Eyeshadow Quad, which I’m sharing with you guys. I was wearing it to a wedding party in my neighborhood in the daytime. For this look I had only used one color: the vibrant orange. It’s very simple to create this look; you just apply a sheer coverage of your eye shadow all over your eye lids and then draw a bold vibrant line along your upper lash line with your eye shadow. I was actually inspired by the looks of the girls from the TV serial ‘The Secret Life of the American Teenager’. They were using a glossy eye shadow; this look actually looks prettier with a glossy eye shadow. I had also used a black kohl eyeliner for my inner lash line, but without the kohl eyeliner my eyes also looked pretty.

All the girls from The Secret Life of The American Teenager are looking gorgeous, but my personal favorite is Amy (Shailene Woodley). I’ve browsed some pictures from the internet of Shailene Woodley for you guys.

I have some more beautiful eye shadow ideas; maybe I’ll place those looks some other time out here. I also have news about one of the products I had blogged about; the ‘Hervé Léger Femme Eau de Parfum Spray’ is a 2011 winner. This perfume has been chosen as ‘Fragrance of The Year’ by The Fragrance Foundation. I think that I’ll continue blogging about jewelries for next time. Sometimes I don’t have any idea what I’m going to blog about for next time, but there’s always some idea that suddenly flashes into my mind, and sometimes there are so many ideas flowing into my brains as if some tap of my brains has been opened and they all rush out in a speed.:)

Jewelry time!

It’s jewelry time now! Months back, I had created some jewelries, but I was lazy in the writing part, so I’m going to place those jewelries out here now, together with some Avon jewelries that I like.

Blissful Blues Drop Pendant Gift Set

About this product          

This set is a faux stone set in burnished brass. The necklace is 17'' long with a 3'' extender.  The pierced earrings are 1½'' long.

What do I think about this product?

This is a very pretty set; I love the sparkling faux stones of this set.

Pink party bangles                                                         

I had planned to wear my pink sari to my cousin’s wedding party. A sari is a 5½ meters long unstitched garment that’s wrapped around the body. It’s a perfect fit for women of all sizes and worn world-wide by millions of women. I actually don’t know how to wear a sari, but my elder sister and my mom had helped me with it. I’ll place some sari pictures out here next time.

Everything matched perfectly, but the only thing missing were some matching bangles. So I decided to make my own bangles.

The watch and the Solitaire Ring with Jacket Set are Avon jewelries. The ring is a Silverstone CZ ring with two crystal-accented jackets. I actually love the rings with jackets from Avon and I love wearing them all together.

You can wear the 3-piece jacket rings 3 ways:

ü  Solitaire alone

ü  Jacket alone

ü  All together

The ‘Solitaire Ring with Jacket Set’ isn’t available at Amazon, but there is another Avon jacket set, the ‘Marquise Ring with Jacket Set’ available that looks a little bit different then my ring.

These beads were perfectly matching; I had polished some wooden beads with my pink Avon nail polish.

Tada! This is what I had finally created.
