ARITAUM - World Glam Coating Tint (London, Paris) Best lip stain in the world? YSL glossy stain dupe, or even better

When YSL released their Glossy Stains, everyone was obsessed with it. I, as a lip stain lover, needed to try the YSL stains. I got it 2 years ago but I hated it. The colors are nice but I hated the texture. It feels like you have a film of plastic that bothers you all day. I was highly disappointed with YSL glossy stain. 

I also tried the Loreal stains that people said to be a perfect dupe of the YSL glossy stain. It was okay, but I was not impressed with the color range and the texture. Loreal was not worth the hype for me.

Then, I tried Missha's version of Glossy Stain. I really liked the color I got and staying power, finish was all good. However, there was one thing I wasn't pleased about, it was the weird film-like texture on the lips. Missha's lip stain was the best so far, but not a product I will repurchase.

When I visited South Korea over winter break, I saw Aritaum having 1 + 1 event for their new lip stain.   I went into the store and fell in love with the display. So many girls were competing to get the tester to swatch on their hands. 

Aritaum World Glam coating tint! (price: 8000 Korean won)

I didn't expect much about this product after failing several times on finding the perfect glossy stain. I tried this product and it was amazing. It had everything that I was looking for. It does not have the strange film texture, lasts a long time, have a pretty glossy finish, and wide color selection. It does not transfer or change color over time. 

I got the color London and Paris. The name of the product is World Glam coating tint because each shade is a name of a city! The name is written around the cap, which I found it very cute.

The applicator is very nice! it is tapered in the end, which allows precise application. This coating tint is very pigmented but you can dab it on for sheer natural look.

Paris is not this orange in real life. When you apply it, it is a very pretty coral color!

check out the color range which I will put it in the bottom.

As you can see, it is pigmented with lots of shine. The shine do wear off throughout time but it still looks amazing! This is now my holy grail product. If you are visiting Korea, please, please, pleaseee check this out. It is only $7.5 and I got this buy one get one free! Dont waste your money in YSL or any other dupes. Aritaum's coating tint is not even comparable. It is so much better than YSL glossy stain!

Krispy Kreme in Saket, New Delhi, India!

Its Krispy Kreme. What more can I say. To be honest, I was never the biggest fan of Krispy Kreme. They are really good, but I could not eat more than one original glazed donut because it is soooo sugary. Now my mind has changed. Krispy Kreme is amazing!

Krispy Kreme is at the City Walk mall, Saket. It replaced the Amichi counter in the first floor. Krispy Kreme had variety selection of donuts but I just went for the original (which is the bomb). They have the "red sign" when you can get warm donuts that are freshly made. They also had a section where you can see the donut making progress, which is always awesome to watch. 

Donuts are so soft and fluffy! I do notice a difference from Korean Krispy Kreme donuts. Korean ones were more chewy, while the Indian one is purely soft.

I think I need to go to Saket again soon to get another box of dozen.. :)

Steve Madden - Madden Girl Gloriee

Steven Madden had buy 2 get 50% off deal so I had to get something! I wanted shoes that were comfy for school but still look polished (not like runners :D). I was not a fan of toms shoes but people always rave about their comfiness. Steve Madden had 4 types of toms, the toms with black lace was all sold out so I went for black sparkles. They are so, so, soooo comfy and kind of cute in a weird (?) way. 

I actually dont love the way toms look on me since I have huge feet (size 8). I got it with 50% off so I thought I'll just give it a go. I hope I will wear them often.

California Pizza Kitchen - Cyber Hub, Gurgaon

My picky friend who only eats limited amount of food in India raved about this restaurant. I had to try it  because she hates pizzas in India but she said this place is really good. The restaurant was very clean and everyone was friendly there.

 Mediterranean salad with roasted chicken 

 Work 9 (dont remember the exact name) 14 inch pizza

 Tiramisu

packed left over pizzas :)

Overall, this place was AMAZING. I think this is the best place to go for pizzas in India. There are so many choices of pizza that it took nearly 5 minutes just choosing the pizza. The salad was incredible, especially the roasted chicken. The chicken is cooked with pesto sauce, which always makes chicken better. Salad is worth trying out here.

However, I was disappointed with the drinks. The drinks ranged from 150 rs to 250 rs. I expected real fruit flavors but I could tell that they just mixed two types of tropicana juice boxes. Not worth trying at all. I recommend just geting regular sodas.

Tiramisu was okay, but it was the weirdest tiramisu I ever had. I dont know what that gooey white sauce on top was. It was too gooey that it choked me several times. It would have been better without that gooey sauce. It was a good tiramisu, only that gooey thing is the problem.

Benefit Collection (Rockateur, Bad Gal liner, Posie tint, Luv it Up)

When I went to Korea this winter break, I had a chance to try out some benefit goodies owned by my sister. I was so excited to see the highly raved Rockateur blush and was most excited about it! I also tried Fake Up concealer and Dandelion blush but totally forgot to include it in here.

The Famous Rockateur box powder blush. I am little obsessed with these box powders. All the shades are unique and gorgeous! Rockateur is a rose gold shade that suites various skin tones. It has tiny bit of shimmer. The shimmer is so tiny and almost not visible on the skin but it creates a polished skin finish! This blush is AMAZING. Its totally worth the hype. I never tried any blush like this. This blush makes your cheeks look flawless with the most natural skin. Even guys noticed a difference on my cheeks (this just tells you Rockateur is amazing).

If you are considering buying this blush please run to a Benefit counter and get this! This is the best blush I ever tried. Color, texture, scent, and the finished look is to die for. 

Luv it Up palette (holiday edition). This includes three neutral eyeshadows, an Creaseless Cream Shadow in RSVP (mini), and a Dandelion lipgloss (mini). 

I wasn't overly impressed with this. The packaging is very cute but the products didn't excite me much. I did really enjoy the cream eyeshadow because I always wanted to try it out. Overall its an okay palette, but nothing so unique and special about it. 

    

Posie Tint. Lip and cheek stain. Posie tint is the second tint that benefit launched long time ago. I remember I wanted this so badly 2 years ago. Posie tint looks nice for your cheeks but you have to blend it out right away since it will stain your cheeks in seconds. It lasts long and looks good on the lips too. I didn't use this a lot because I was into deep burgundy shades in the winter. Overall its a good tint, but I dont think I will ever purchase this. There are so many dupes in Korea that is even more prettier than Posie tint (my opinion). 

BAD gal liner waterproof. A black liner. It is definitely waterproof but smudges a little at the outer corner of my eyes. Nothing really outstanding. I prefer my MAC fluid line much more.


Well this was not even a proper review or anything, its actually kind of pointless hahaha.. What is your favorite Benefit product? comment down below :)

The Blue Door Cafe - Khan Market

The Original smoothie

 Berry Berry smoothie

 Pesto pasta

Aglio E Olio pasta

 Arrabiata sauce pasta

mushroom cheese crepe

Classic butter sugar crepe

The Blue Door Cafe is my new favorite place to eat! Everything I have tried was polished and tasted fresh. Food selection is wide from breakfast menus to crepes and waffles. If you live around New Delhi I highly recommend visiting! I LOVE the Arrabiata pasta! It was exactly the type of tomato sauce that I like.  The only down side for is that the cafe is little small. It can get kind of noisy when all tables are full. But that won't stop me from going because the food is amazing!
