Maybelline New York Colossal Liner Black & Blue Heaven Sketch Liner

Today I'm gonna talk about two essential makeup product of my makeup bag. As you guys all know that I'm crazy about makeup. I couldn't go out without putting Kajal or Eye Liner. Most of girls like bold eyes. Wing Liner is a trend right now. So it's very important to choose a correct eye-liner for your precious eyes.

Maybelline New York Colossal and Blue Heaven Sketch Eye liner, these are the two products I swear by.
I always keep two liners and two kajals in my makeup kit bag. If I'm heading out for a long day or I'm going for a party then I prefer to use a long lasting and smudge proof eyeliner. On the other hand If I'm going to have a coffee or going out for 2-3 hours I prefer to use a pocket friendly one. These two products which I've mentioned are the perfect combination of my need.




Maybelline New York Colossal Liner Black 

Currently I'm a complete fan of this product. It's bold black in color and a perfect sketch tip allows me to get a perfect wing liner or a cat liner. Another advantage of this product is it dries out very quickly. It gives a

matte finish and glides smoothly. My face tend to sweat a lot specially eye area. So, I totally swear by this one. After wearing it almost 6-7 hours or more than that I can say it didn't smudge a bit. It's water proof so in rainy days your wing liner wouldn't fly away for sure.

Blue Heaven Sketch Liner

This is the third time I've bought it. I'm obsessed with this one. My makeup kit is incomplete without this
Blue Heaven Sketch Liner
particular product. When I travel I completely trust on this. It is also deep black like the Maybelline one. It also has a fine tip which help to draw a perfect wing liner. It too dries out quickly and its matte too. It glides smoothly on your skin too. But what it's disadvantage is it doesn't stay more than 3-4 hours. After that it starts to fade. It's not that much water proof as the Maybelline one. But its advantage is it damn pocket friendly. A beginner makeup explorer can easily afford it.

CHICKEN WRAP (THE WALKING STREET SANDWICHES)

I wrote two restaurant reviews but what I thought today that its always not possible to try everything at a time in a restaurant or in a food stall. So I come up with a new series called Food Reviews. Wherever or whenever I will eat some thing I will give you my review.

   I will start the series with a very popular food item now-a-days called Chicken Wrap which I had recently tried in Metropolis Mall.

   All the people of South Kolkata knows this place. Metropolis Mall of South Kolkata is one of the best hangout place for everyone. I willn't go on a long description. Keeping it very simple I'll just focus on the food.

CHICKEN WRAP
We were there to have Dominos Pizza from the food court of Metropolis Mall. But when hungry stomach kicks you continuously it's not easy to wait for a long time. So we shift our mind from pizza to pasta. We walked straight towards the shop where pasta board was hanging. The manager told us about other items of their menu like Maggie, Burger, Sandwich, Momo and lastly Wrap. Hearing the name of Wrap I shifted my mind again from pasta to Wrap. Oh!!! I forgot to mention the name of the food stall The Walking Street Sanwiches .  We ordered two Chicken Wrap of 100 bucks each. Just after 10-15 minutes max to max two hot plates of Wrap came to us with some crispy crunchy potato chips and a packet of tomato sauce. so it became easy to wrap it up. Without admiring its beauty more than that I had my first bite. It was so delicate and yummy. A light crust on the top giving it another level. And with every bite creamy mayonnaise with veggies oozing out like lava. Chicken pieces are so tender, succulent and juicy that you want more and more. Potato Chips on the side plays a great role to tie up the whole dish as it breaks that creaminess of the filling with crispiness. I really don't like Tomato Sauce with this kind of dishes but for whom Tomato Sauce is life saving thing (ex. my husband) must finish the wrap with it. We wrapped the Wrap in just 10 minutes. Trust me, it feels so light on your tummy. Your hungry and angry stomach give a kiss but your little heart will ask for more. In just 100 bucks that Chicken Wrap is an ultimate winner.
Ufff!!!!!!! That's a piece of heaven on my hand. They cut the wrap into two pieces

**I will give it 3.5 star out of 5.

If you're there at Metropolis Mall and hunger kicks your tummy hardly and then give it a must try.... Or you can order it online

ON THE WAY TO GURUDONGMAR

So, a very good morning to all of you. I finished my blog on the night of 25th on which day we came to
Lachen. As I have mentioned earlier in my previous blog that we needed to start for Gurudongmar Lake at 5 o'clock in the morning. At 4 am we woke up. Finally it stopped raining and when we came out of our room I
4.30 am in Lachen
thought I wasn't in myself. The whole environment grabbed me in its arm. I totally lost myself and trust me I really didn't care to recollect myself. I was completely caught by the trance of nature's beauty. The scenery was so pure and so celestial as if God put everything with his own hand. That's why every bit of that blissful landscape is perfectly crafted. The sky covered itself with a navy blue bed-sheet and the stars were scattered like jasmine flowers. Some unknown proud mountains were giving guard to this majestic mother nature. Those proud mountains were wearing white crown which reveals their

royalty. Please tell me how can one remain steady after seeing such a beauty!!! Is this even possible? I don't think so. Even I don't want to. What I wanted at that point to live in that moment. As you can completely understand through my words that I was in the arms of nature. I didn't realize how much time I spent. Suddenly some noise broke my dream and reality welcomed me. It was 5.30 am then. Our driver was sleeping peacefully. Everyone was loosing their temper. Finally in between all the drama he came at 5.45 pm and we started for Gurudongmar Lake at 6 o'clock. We were all pumped up. So happy with whatever we experience with our eyes. Just after an hour our car stopped. Simon, our driver came out of the car and then he gave us a big surprise. Do you want to know the surprise??? The front tyre of our car became so tired
Surrounding Beauty
that it lost its breathe in the mid way. We thought that it took a lot of time to save the tyre. But fortunately one fellow driver who was just behind our car came to rescue. Meanwhile we enjoyed the awesome view. We clicked a bunch of photos. It took 10-12 minutes to rescue the faint tyre. I pumped up again and imagined that the car won't stop till Gurudongmar Lake. Without my consciousness DESTINY was laughing at me. Just after 1 minute our car stopped again as all the car which was before us stopped there in front of a small tea stall. No it was not  tea break for sure. It was a break of our entire Gurudongamar trip. We couldn't go further as heavy snow fall became obstacle. I lost my each and every bit of enthusiasm which I gather drop by drop. Every one halfheartedly stepped down out of the car except me. I was so disappointed that I reluctant to move a single step. However, I saw everyone was happily accepting the situation and started playing with ice. My husband forced me to come down once. For him only I came out of the car. After looking everyone's smiling face I felt that accepting this situation would rescue me from being lonely. It's okay that we were not in Gurudongmar Lake but where we stood now whatever the place was extremely beautiful. I couldn't be

hopeless. I again taught me that accept everything. Whatever the situation is make the most out of it. I regained my energy. I filled my lungs with the icy wind. I played there, I clicked 100 pictures and I even fall on the ice. We didn't know how we passed two and a half hour there. Simon, our driver called us to have our breakfast. We had bread and Jam for breakfast. Believe me, that was the best jam -bread meal I ever had in my life. We had hot cups of tea too. After having our breakfast we were all agreed to leave Lachen as soon as possible. As we didn't want to face the situation what we faced last night. While coming back we were all so tired that we slept till we reached hotel. Then we packed our luggage, we had lunch (rice, potato-cauliflower fry, dal& egg curry) and again sat on our car. We bid GOOD BYE to Lachen and promised that we would visit again.      

 LACHUNG

Honestly, though I accepted my destiny but I couldn't engage myself in the beauty of nature while traveling from Lachen to Lachung. It was worthy scenario and obviously had everything to claim your attention. But
View from Chungthan
somehow I wasn't in that head space. We stopped once to have tea at Chungthang. It took almost 2.15 hours to over come 47km. After one and a half hour we stepped down to see Bhewma Falls popularly known as Amitabh Bachchan Falls.It is one of the tallest waterfalls of North Sikkim Dist. We reached Lachung at 3.30 pm but our room wasn't ready. The hotel workers suggested us to visit Kataou and
Amitabh Bachchan Falls
meanwhile they would clean our room. Here is a twist. Zero point had been already declared closed. So they suggested us another place call Kataou. To visit Kataou we should give 250 per head to our driver as he would take us there on his own risk. Even rules of visiting zero point is also same. We all were agreed to go to Kataou but not at that point of time. We decided to see sunrise on our way to Kataou. We kept all our bags in one room and went to explore Lachung. We were starving too. We had chai in our hotel and went out to have something. Walking on the roads of Lachung I found my lost hope and energy. It was beyond my expectation. I heard the sweet sound of Lachung river and I couldn't stop my feet to go there. But we had to stop to have omelet. It gave us enough protein and energy to enjoy the surroundings. You

know what I believe that I have a deep connection with water. As I go crazy when I see river, lake or sea. And this time I became completely mad because of that hill river. It was flowing like a proud queen. 
Lachung River
And how can I forget about the wind. Uff!!! It was as sharp as a knife. It was chilling cold and the scenic beauty of Lachung river captured me. I thought for a second that I should live here forever. Whenever I was about to loose my mind It is always my dear husband who come to rescue from my mind (though he thinks I don't have mind). We spent almost 2-3 hours and Then we came back to hotel to get some rest. At 8.30 pm we ate dinner. Dinner and lunch of both Lachen and Lachung was same. We discussed with our driver and resolved that we would leave for Kataou at 4am.
Without wasting a single moment we went to sleep.


GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE....
SEE YOU IN THE NEXT PART.....
