The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello Loves!  A new week and a new set of planner pages to do up.  My week in my planner is fairly simple and clean.  For all of January I decided on using the supplies that came with my planner i.e the stickers that came with my planner and I think I'll manage just fine.  This week I've only used these sticky notes that I got from The June Shop, mainly to cover up some ink bleeding through.  Cats.  Sakura Blooms.  Warm cups of coffee.  Cake.  I love how these pages look! 

  Hello Loves!  I am kicking off my Planner Series for 2021.  I am starting with my Gratitude Journal. I have Gratitude Journaled for the last few years, sometimes in a whole other journal and sometimes I have made little notes in my regular planner. Personally, I like having a little separate space to make this daily gratitude entries in. It's a good way to end my night writing about the one thing (or many things) in the day that filled me with gratitude.  My journal this year is from The June Shop and I love it's very pink and floral design. It sort of matches my main planner from The Ink Bucket. So it feels like a set.  This is how I have decorated the front page.  All things I love in life///  Flowers.  A bus...to denote a roadtrip.  Sloths.  Writing.  Mountains.  & Dogs.  I also love this dinosaur sticky note that I also got from The June Shop.  The page layout is a little something like this. I find this muc...

Hello!  I recently made a little Nykaa order, mainly fuelled by my interest in the new line of makeup by Masaba Gupta for Nykaa. I totally fell for the gorgeous packaging and couldn't resist getting a few bits from the line to try out.  And I am super happy with the results.  I got two nude lipsticks. Cool Guy & Numbu Paani and their matching nail paints because I really enjoy the Nykaa nail polishes.  The colours are lovely and pigmented and the packaging is perfect! I am so tempted to go back for more.  Cool Guy!  I also got a lip and cheek tint from Etude House.  I have bought two Benefit tints earlier this year and one from The Face Shop and I am a tint convert. So when I saw one from Etude House for fairly cheap I thought I'd give it a try.  I also got-  A basic Kajal from Nykaa.  A Plum eye cream--which is pretty good, worth a shot if you are in the market for one.  I ...

Hello!  Today I want to share a make-up haul I recently made from My Glamm , a site that kept popping up on my IG explore page. But when I saw that Manish Malhotra had done a line with them I knew I wanted to sample a few things from them.  Spoiler Alert: I love everything I got from them!  Let's get into it.. I am an eye-shadow fiend.  I love, love, love eye shadows.  I kept seeing glimpses of Manish Malhotra's make-up line and what drew me the most was the eye shadow palettes. There were several options to choose from but I fell in love with this 9 colour palette from the collection called Soiree.  It's gorgeous and the colours are perfectly pigmented and vidid and smooth as can be.  The packaging is gorgeous and so lux.  The colours are so pretty.  More shimmery than matte.  But still very wearable.  I can't possibly buy make-up and not get lipstick?!  No sir! ...

Hello!!!  Today I want to kick off a new series on the blog.  A series dedicated entirely to Durga Pujo and all the prep that goes preparing for Durga Pujo.  My prep like always begins with buying things big and small.  This year I wanted very few things.  I am honestly set on the clothes front.  I have a whole lot of new clothes waiting for me.  So I just need to mix and match and decide when to wear what.  I did want some make-up bits and I started with this haul of a ton of gorgeous nail polishes and some lip products. I got all of this from Nykaa.  To start with this pouch is simply darling!  I got it from Ali Express.  It is so charming. First up, we got some things from Nykaa Beauty.  My sister was in need of a new foundation for everyday wear and I have heard so many good things about this foundation, which is a relatively new launch from Nykaa.  My sister is pretty happy...
