Hello ladies, today's feature of Meet The Bloggers got a tad bit delayed cause I wasn't feeling too well and slept off early last night and woke up late this morning :P Have to rush to the beauty parlour so thought of updating it before I leave :) Today we are featuring Ankita whom we all know better as Anks of Novice Make-Up. Ankita a professional, a wife, a HOT mother and a beauty blogger and to top it all she is a friend :) She says that she is a working mother who realises the potential of looking good and groomed in today's professional and personal world. Totally agree with you there Anks :) Oh and with her new "fringed" hair cut she is looks all the more beautiful.

Anks from Novice Makeup
Your Favorite Blog (Apart from your own): IMBB, ISLM, Wise She, MBB
and Peaches & Blush are my all time favs...
 

What does make-up mean to you: To me, makeup is a tool that makes me
feel better about myself. We all have our imperfections, but there is no point in wearing all of your imperfections proudly on your sleeve. If a bit of makeup enhances the way I look, helps me make a better first impression then I will definitely embrace it. I like makeup but am not as passionate about it as some of the other beauty bloggers. It is just another accessory to me; albeit a very important one.

Lipstick girl or a Lip Gloss Girl: Out and out Lipstick girl!

Kajal or Eye Liner: Kajal, I almost always have kajal on... even when
i am at home :)

 
Black Smoky eyes and Nude Lips or Nude eyes and Red Lips: Nude eyes
and nude lips! Am not much of an eye makeup person and am quite
terrified of red lips.... but if i had to choose, it'd be the smokey
eye and nude lip combo
Pink Nail Polish or Black Nail Polish: Anything but black...

Favorite brand of cosmetics for Lipsticks: Maybelline would have to be

my favourite lipsticks because they offer a variety of affordable lipsticks that are quite good in terms of quality and colour options  


Favorite brand of cosmetics for Eye Shadows:  I don't use eye shadows!
Favorite brand of cosmetics for Eye Liners: Now this is tough.... I like Colorbar iGlide, Avon Glimmersticks Diamonds and Faces equally. But if I had to pick one, it would be Faces which is creamier and easier to apply than the other two
 

Favorite brand of cosmetics for Blushes: Bourjois tipped the others
from this spot recently!
 

Favorite brand of cosmetics for Foundations: Oh I can go and on about
my foundation woes. I have tried almost all drugstore foundations from Lakme 9 to 5, Radiance, Invisible to Colorbar to Revlon... finally I found my HG foundation with MAC Studio Fix. I strongly feel that if we wear a good base, then the colours can be drugstore and would look nice. If your base if off, even the high end colours would not look good.

Now some quick questions:

Lakme or Lakme Absolute: Lakme coz I haven't tried Absolute
Colorbar I-glide or Faces Long Wear: I just answered this! Faces  :)


Which collection or range of products are you waiting for impatiently:
I want all the international favourites like Sleek, ELF, Covergirl, Rimmel etc to come to India. The cosmetics in India are overpriced and I can imagine that a makeup newbie has practically no options of fum, affordable makeup.


Which is your most recent discovered product that you truly love:
Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipsticks and I have you to thank for it Suma!
 
Which is your most recent discovered product that you dislike:
Maybelline Colossal Kajal! I bought it a few days back and can't seem
to understand the hype around it


I loved doing this Suma...
