If you can’t afford Christian Louboutin shoes, this is your next big chance. The renowned footwear designer’s new lipstick line is royal in the literal sense of the word. Inspired by Queen Nefertiti of Egypt, the collection includes 38 shades in three different textures — silky satin, sheer voile and velvet matte. These feature the signature red shade that’s become synonymous with the brand. While the signature colours are hidden in special black lacquered cases, the rest of the line comes packaged in gold. These are topped with crowns and adorned with loops, so you can attach these to a neck chain and wear these around your neck. A perfect marriage of beauty and fashion!

Be a smart writer
Given the popularity of home gadgets, it doesn’t come as a surprise that even a pen has been digitised. The Livescribe Echo Smartpen remembers everything you hear, say and write, and then lets you replay your recorded audio with a simple tap. An inbuilt infrared camera allows you to record audio while you are taking notes and then play these back later. You can also save and share the notes on your computer, iPad or iPhone with a micro-USB connector. Depending on the model, the memory storage holds 400 or 800 hours of recorded audio and includes an OLED display that makes it easy to navigate the smart-pen apps. A perfect device for anybody still committed to taking notes by hand, in classes, meetings or interviews.
Price: Starting at Rs. 9,000
