Shifting to Wordpress!

Hi my lovelies!

As much as I loved and was attached to Blogger, nothing much was happening for me here and so I shifted to WordPress. To those who only started seeing me here now, I am sorry but I wouldn't be posting any more things here and am also shifting my posts from this blog to the WordPress one that goes by the same name but by the web address: https://thatweirdgirlofficial.wordpress.com/.

It was amazing to write for you and have my little audience here and as much as I would like to stay, I cannot. Please visit my new blog and I really hope you like it just as much as you did this one! See you there...

Cheers xx

LookBook│Eye Makeup

Welcome to That Weird Girl Next Door

Hi my lovelies!

I have been wanting to do a look book ever since forever but I couldn’t because a. I am lazy. b. my camera does not make me look pretty c. I am not confident enough to post the pictures. However, I promised myself that I will keep my insecurity at bay and post this because I really want to. So here it is- the simple college/office easy-to-do eye makeup look.

Now before I begin I just want to say that I am not an ace when it comes to doing makeup or taking pictures (these are actually from my tablet so they are not in high-resolution). My brain is actually kicking way too excitement and these not be how makeup looks should be posted but oh well! I might even take this down later, but for now I will let it be. So…let’s start!

I used:

Vaseline

Hiliray Rhoda Eyeshadow Paletter number 2

Maybelline Hypersharp Liner

Lakme` Eyeconic Mascara

I start by priming my lids with Vaseline. I talked about this in my first ever post, 5 Simple Eye Makeup Tips, that when you apply Vaseline before your makeup, it helps the makeup stay longer and also gives a nice effect. I then use a light sandy eye shade that I use every day to office. I use the sponge applicator that came with the palette and cover both my lids in it. 

I take a dust of earthy brown shade on the eyeshadow brush and with a light hand start use it on the corner of my eyes, making them a little dark. You can also keep on darkening it to have a smoky eye effect, you can use khol bloack, however I would advice to keep your look simple and as light as possible.

December│Product Recommendation

Welcome to That Weird Girl Next Door

This month I thought I should do some hair care product since one of you had requested me this last month on Facebook (shoutout to the ever so beautiful Bedapta). Well, winters are as cruel on your hair as it is on the skin and not only do dry hair type suffer, normal to oily scalps are mutually damaged as well. This month I recommend Matrix Biolage shampoo and conditioner.

It is actually quite tricky to find a good product for hair because one bad choice can lead to hair fall, damage, flaky skin or dandruff problem. I had heard great reviews about Matrix but I had not used it earlier. So being the good lab rat that I have always been, I tested it on myself. I am so glad that I gave this a try, for it has minimized my problem. So…let’s start!

Matrix Biolage Shampoo

I took a risk and directly bought a 400ml shampoo, though I would suggest you go for a smaller size to see if it suits you. The packaging is great and I like the cylindrical bottle that is topped with a yellow cap. The cap is sturdy and tight so you do not have to worry about the leakage, just in case you put it upside down (just saying!). It works great on hair and leaves my hair in a nice texture when dry. Since I have wavy hair and this shampoo manages that well easily, this is my favorite.  

Price: 370 INR for 400ml

Pros:

Easily applicable

Nice consistency

Mild refreshing citrus smell

Affordable

Leaves hair silky

Paraben free

Cons:

Works best only with the conditioner

Have to wash twice to get nice hair

Matrix Biolage Conditioner

This conditioner comes in this plastic bottle with a small nozzle and a tight cap. It is the best that I have used so far and I genuinely love it. It has a creamy white texture and it a little thinner than other conditioners that there are in the market so it spreads really well on the hair, without just sitting like a blot on one portions. It suits best with the shampoo is is actually having a lovely smell. I only use this twice a week because it tends to leave my hair oily the next day otherwise.

Price: 170 INR for 90ml

Pros:

Easy to apply

Leaves hair satin like soft

Travel friendly

Paraben free

Cheap

Does not let hair tangle

Cons:

Leaves my hair oily after a while

Overall, I recommend this product to everyone for being good, sensitive and understanding your hair. It is easy on your pocket and since it is that harsh time of the year, do give a try! I will repurchase this combo again/

Alright, I hope you enjoyed this post and this was helpful.

Cheers xx
