A new OOTD..this time with a maxi dress..I have only shot one striped maxi before and yet to post that..so actually, the 1st maxi dress outfit I am wearing here..
Few girls believe maxi dresses and palazzos are not for short girls and they only look good on tall girls..well let me tell you, its nothing like that. It all depends on how you carry it..everything can look good equally on shorter girls..not all of us are born tall and that does not deprive us of wearing these amazing stuff, trust me.
Some tips for short girls on how to wear a maxi dress:
Go for vertical prints.which run from top to bottom
Sheer fabric towards the bottom
Slim fit (or cinch with a belt)- You don’t want to look like you are stuck in a tent!
Wedge it up- You can add a fun pair of wedges or block heels (But stick to flats if its a beachy kind dress)
Hi low maxi dresses (Well these are very flattering on the petite girls)
Solid colors and colors close to your skin tone give you a taller appearance
So, go all out and try out those maxis, you fella short sistas 😀 And do share your pics with me 🙂
I am wearing a cut out printed maxi dress here, which has shades of red and green. I love this color combo..and the fabric is so soft to touch. It has a black knee length lining so makes it half sheer which is quite IN and looks chic. Only I wish the fit was more better..it could have been slightly flowy but cinched at the waist..and the upper part could have been more fitted.
I paired it with pop blue earrings and red and mint flats (since its more beachy kinds..you can always accessorize in a different way and add wedges for a different look) and kept it simple on the accessories front with just one gold bracelet and a gold headband..since the dress was to grab the attention.
First of all guys, this is my 1500th post! I still can’t believe my 1500th post is about Sonam or Ash, coz I don’t like either :/ But yay anyhoo 😀
Coming to the post, a lot has been said about Sonam and Aishwarya already! I would just like to give my 2 cents on it..
Aishwarya Rai was a stunner at Cannes 2014! She stole the show completely..a total veteran! Though by far, this has been her best Cannes 2014 appearance from years and years..this is my favorite year of hers..
On the 1st day (extreme right), she chose a golden corset shaped mermaid like Roberto Cavalli gown..with oh so perfect makeup and hair! Soft wavy loose hair and L’Oreal Paris Moist Mat Lipstick in Lincoln Rose with falsies and oodles of L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Mascara does the trick here.
Though the gown was copied from Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth who wore it to the recent Academy Awards..but nonetheless full credits to Ash to look stunning in it!
On the 2nd day (center), she again chose a Roberto Cavalli..this time a silver and went for smokey eyes and nude lips..nothing too fancy here..though the gown is good..but repetitive after the 1st day.
3rd day (extreme left) Ash went for this beige gold Armani Prive gown..bright teal eyes and red lips. Ok, why is that push up bra clashing with the plunging neckline..we do not want to know how perky your assets are at this age..we know its a push up bra, Dear Ash..spare us. Though the gown is nice and could have been worn in a better way..the bust area looks off..red lips work with this gown but why the bright teal eyes!
So,overall only the 1st look was a bomb and killer..and the most remembered look for years to come..one of Aishwarya Rai’s best in her career..she looked super confident too. And the L’Oreal Moist Mat in Lincoln Rose has been selling off like hot cakes coz of her!!
Coming to our very own ‘self-proclaimed style icon’ Sonam Kapoor.
Sonam Kapoor has showcased 3 very different red carpet looks this year. An Anamika Khanna traditional Sari and 2 Elie Saab Couture gowns..the black was fantabulous! So princessy and grecian..I had no words..rest two outfits were pretty ok..nothing to wow us. I love her Chopard jewellery! Stunning pieces..can make any girl go weak in the knees.
Makeup wise Sonam Kapoor made sensible choices on all the days..all thanks to Namrata Soni. I loved the nude lip with L’Oreal Moist Mat Lipstick in Maple Mocha.
Whom did you like the most or rather which look did you like the most ? I loved the 1st day look for both the girls..

Maybelline Color Show Glitter Mania Collection Review, Swatches, NOTD and Nailfie Contest!
What the Company claims: Stunning 3D Effect in 8 Glittering shades.
Maybelline New York launches for the 1st time ever in India a textured nail paint with the most unique finish. Never seen before Color Dry technology that provides a sand-textured effect in the hottest glitter shades. Experience glitter like you have never seen before!
This product is available in 8 exciting shades! Namely – Dazzling Diva, Red Carpet, Bling on the Blue, Pink Champagne, Paparazzi Purple, Matinee Mauve, All That Glitters & Starry Nights. Based on our Color Show premise, we have a unique shade that fits every mood and personality.In keeping with the same here is an insight for the same: Glitter has forever been a ramp and red carpet favorite! This season is all about textures and embellishments. Glitter Mania is the best of two worlds! Helping our girls taking their style from the catwalk to the sidewalk with this exciting new range! At just Rs.125, this range is very accessible!
So, to start with, I am loving the names..so fun and quirky..these come in a small cute bottle same as the Color Show Nail Paints.
We got to try one shade at the event itself..and I picked and applied 607 Pink Champagne..its on my nails from the last Friday..today being the 6th day. And so I though lets review these before I change onto some other shade (Was so tempted to :p)
I had applied 2 coats of the shade and I got full opaque coverage with the 2 coats..it feels matte and gritty coz of the liquid sand technology..but I personally loved this finish.
The color did not dull out or fade..but on your right hand nails, if you cook or eat or something, the finish gets slightly different after 2-3 days..I am quite impressed by the staying power of these..it did not chip at all..and only after 4-5 days, I saw the color go off from the tips but not too visible or obvious. I am loving the staying power.
Also, as with all glitter nail polishes, I thought it would be a pain to remove these..but surprisingly and thankfully, it was not much of an issue and they came off pretty smoothly than expected.
Today I have swatches of Pink Champagne and the rest on each finger which I just changed after writing the review for a better description.
601 All That Glitters (Gold)- Dull Gold with silver shimmer
602 Dazzling Dive (Silver)- Bright Silver with silver shimmer..my fellow nail blogger Dhara Singh of The Happi Therapy found it to be an exact dupe of OPI Liquid Sand in It’s Frosty Outside.
603 Starry Nights (Black)- Deep Black with silver shimmer
604 Red Carpet- True Red with pink and silver shimmer (Good shade for bridal wear)
605 Matinee Mauve- Deep Pink Mauve with silver and pink shimmer
606 Paparazzi Purple- Bluish Purple with silver and blue shimmer
607 Pink Champagne- Champagne Pink with silver shimmer
608 Bling on the Blue- Sky Blue with silver shimmer
My favorites are the Pink Champagne, Silver and Gold. Would do an NOTD with Red and Silver soon..Red would make a nice wedding season shade.
Ok..so an announcement here..I am running a small contest on my twitter and Instagram in association with Maybelline where you guys need to send me your nailfies (Ya like selfies,nailfies :p) That is, your nail art or any nail of the day pictures using the Maybelline Color Show or the Color Show Glitter Mania range (or any Maybelline nail paint).

L’Oreal Paris UV Perfect Aqua Essence SPF30 UVB UVA PA+++ Review
What the Company claims: L’Oréal Paris UV Perfect Aqua Essence with SPF 30 PA+++ and a PPD of 15.5, thus ensuring a high level of protection against both UVA and UVB. It is also enriched with Advanced Mexoryl XL Filters that protect against broad spectrum UVA/UVB rays, Adenosine that repairs deep skin damage and fights wrinkles, and Vitamin E that helps fight against free radicles and external stress.
Other than the expert sun protection provided by this product, it is also extremely suited to the humid Indian climate. Aqua Essence is the first product from the L’Oréal Paris UV perfect range thatis a lightweight gel composition making it feel like water when applied on the skin. It is fresh, non-greasy, non-sticky and quickly gets absorbed into the skin.
Results, Usage:
It is designed to not only provide extreme sun-protection, but also keep the skin hydrated and feeling fresh, supple and smoother. With UV Perfect Aqua Essence the protection you apply is the protection you get all day!
Ingredients:
MRP: Rs.475/- for 30ml
So, a sunscreen by L’Oreal Paris which has Mexoryl XL Filters which are supposed to be the most stable protectant against the sun, is a nice idea.
I like the easy, simple, tube packaging..it is easy to carry and travel with.
Its a white runny lotion and not water like as they claim to be..but surely easy to blend and sink in and much lighter..no blending required and no whitish cast issue here.
Also, it might be slightly rich and shiny for oily skin..you do not get the matte look with this. I love the fact that it has UVA, UVB protection and SPF30 PA+++ with a very high PPD of 15.5. Its a savior against the sun..it also helped protect the face somewhat,against tanning.
See how water like light and thin it is..
But, its slightly on the expensive side..as 30 ml would hardly last you a few weeks if used religiously everyday and you can’t think of using it on your body as you might finish it off in less than a week then! :p
And since its SPF30, you will definitely need to reapply after 3-4 hours to remain protected. Also, I am not sure of the againts brown spots and premature skin ageing claim.
Overall, I would say, I like the protection factor and that it helps against tanning and is very light with no whitish cast issue..but it definitely needs reapplication under the sun..and might not suit oily skin. I think its good to carry along and can be a ‘bag essential’ as its quite travel friendly.

Lakmé Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Serum and Light Creme Review
Remember I first mentioned about this new Perfect Radiance Cream and Serum launch HERE.
What the Company claims: Lakmé Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening™ Serum consists of Luminizing Vitamins that make your skin more even and radiant; while the Light Reflecting Pearls highlight your skin texture.
Price : Rs.799/- for 30ml.
Lakme Perfect Radiance Light Creme: Lakmé Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening™ Light Crème consists of Bio Hydrators that work towards replenishing the skin’s moisture; while the Luminizing Vitamins lighten your complexion from within.
Price : Rs.275/- for 50gm.
The revolutionary Lakmé Perfect Radiance Polishing Serum and Light Crème works in 3 effective steps:
1. The luminizing vitamins make your skin more even and radiant and insta-collagen TM boosters tighten skin
2. Light Reflecting Pearls highlights your skins texture and creates an irresistible sheen
3. The final touch is a silky smooth, polished skin finish.
This 3 way action gives you that high definition polished look with a glow, and makes your skin luminous and smooth in texture to keep you ramp ready always.
Ok..so as per the claims the serum makes the skin more even and radiant and the cream hydrates and lightens (Not a fan of the lightening claim anyway)
I have been using a combination of these both from quite some time..2-3 weeks around. Both come in a pink packaging..the cream is a normal tub packaging and the serum is twist and pump out dispensor packaging..a few faced issues with the pump..so please check that if possible.
Light Creme is light pink in color.It has a floral baby powder kinda smell. Definitely tightens the skin. The cream provides some basic moisturisation..but also gives a tightening effect to the face. As the name suggests, its quite light in texture and smooth to apply.The serum is very light in texture and feels siliconey on application.. but quite water like and no greasiness or stickiness with it.
It gives a cooling minty sensation for a few minutes. I like how the skin looks smoother and fresh the next morning..I use this serum overnight and have been loving the effect on the face next morning.
I am not sure of the brightening and lightning claim..but it did help me reduce my tan a bit. I was also carrying it for my Beauty and The Blogger Show..and even with 3 hours of sleep, skin looked decent enough on all 3 days thanks to this!
It was travel friendly and easy to carry around..only the serum requires quite a few pumps at times for the product to dispense.
The cream is decently priced and it would last long too..the serum is priced a little on the higher side and would never be able to see the quantity left too.
I am not much a fan of the Light Creme..its a basic regular moisturising cream..but I quite loved the serum. Would definitely recommend the serum.

OOTD: Gray Fuchsia Glitter Saree (Imaginary Red Carpet ?)
Hey everyone,
I am back with an OOTD..this time a saree! I have done one in an yellow saree long back HERE.
This time its a beautiful gray and fuchsia pink saree with a heavy glitter border..this is so perfect for parties, receptions,etc..
Its from TriveniSarees.com. They have an amazing collection of sarees, salwar kameez, lehengas and even jewellery and accessories. They have also brought a few designers on board..so you see designer wear too..and not only that, you have mens wear, kids wear and bed linen too..its like a one stop shop..good for brides too..perfect trousseau shopping place..this saree is also going to be a part of my trousseau. They also have plain brocade and digital print material which they sell per metre. They do the fall edging of the saree for free..and you can buy a standard cotton petticoat along for Rs.150 extra and get the blouse stitched for Rs.600 extra. And if you are the types who have difficulty wearing a saree, you can get the saree prestitched and the stitched blouse both for Rs.1000 extra. You just need to slip into the saree 😀 Cool, is’nt it ?
And the blouse is a normal silver one..which I got designed by my tailor..the design turned out good but not the fit :/ :Sigh: These tailors!
I paired it with silver mesh earrings and a simple gold and silver kada any my Titan Raga watch..And and my hot pink Valentino dupes!! OMG I can’t describe how high the heel is..killing feet literally..how do models walk in them is a big mystery to me! :/
Coming to the makeup, I used the new L’oreal Paris L’Or Lumiere Collection (read HERE) which consists of new Gel Matic Eye Pencils and Moist Mat Lipsticks. I have used the Gel Matic in Turbo Turquoise (other 4 shades in this range are Deep Brown, Silver Mania, Glamor Gold and Blue Force) and the Moist Mat Lipstick in Flaming Kiss here (Lincoln Rose, Glamour Fuchsia and Raspberry Syrup are my other favorites from this range..supposedly Aishwarya Rai wore Lincoln Rose with her first golden Roberto Cavalli gown at the Cannes 2014).
The Gel Matic Pencil in Turbo Turquoise is quite a nice vibrant turquoise shade..and glides on smooth too, was very easy to apply and it stayed put on the upper lashline throughout the day and was difficult to remove too..but does not stay long on the waterline.
Moist Mat Lipstick in Flaming Kiss is a reddish orange..not too ‘in your face’ kinda bright..but very wearable one..I loved it! Its super pigmented and goes full out in one swipe. Though it stays 3-4 hours and with eating and drinking about 2 hours. But, easy to reapply,no patchiness or dry lines.
I used a satin taupe eyeshadow on the eyes and lined my upper lashline and half the lower lashline with the Gel Matic in Turquoise and the Flaming Kiss Lipstick.
Please excuse my hair..I know they look weird here :/
Sorry for the changes in lighting..the sun was dancing..and also if you feel my foundation is lighter, let me tell you its not. My neck and body and slightly face too have turned darker..I got badly tanned..and 4 shades darker at the Beauty and the Blogger show..and trying to get rid of the tan..but I guess it would take some time..
#DovePlay Experience and Dove Intense Repair Range
So as you guys know Dove and Indiblogger together came up with this super interesting meet for all female bloggers last Sunday at JW Marriott, Mumbai..and there were bloggers flown down from Delhi, Pune, Kolkotta, Bangalore, etc..so we got a chance to meet and greet all thanks to Dove and Indiblogger.
Having attended 100’s of events till now, let me tell you, I was expecting the same usual thing and nothing different..I was in for a shock! And how!
This was the most interesting, unique and amazing event/meet I had been to ever!
Everyone registered first and got the badges and route maps and team numbers..we were served some yummy snacks and desserts for the high tea.
RegistrationsMe with Suma and Jyo
First of, there were around 150+ girls all dressed in white..and we were divided into 10-11 teams. I was in Team 4. We all decided our team names first..we went with the name ‘Curls’. Not all of us knew everyone in the team too. So, there was this fun activity where half of the girls stand inside and half outside and make a circle facing each other..and turn in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction whenever the music starts and stop at whichever places they are facing their partners when the music stops. We were made to introduce each other, dance, do the bird dance, do a funny handshake, give each other a compliment, act a smiley we were given, etc..this helped all of us know each and every member of our team! Fabulous idea!
Circles for IntroductionBirdie Dance :p
They also had a fun twitter thing in between like who tweets the most, who updates the most and getting a picture with someone from Dove.(I did manage to get a pic! :p)
Next, was a super fun and amazing 10-15 minutes zumba session.That, I feel, was the highlight of the day. We all danced our hearts away..like crazy.
The Best Part- Zumba
Then we were supposed to play few games like Have A Ball, Jigsaw Puzzle, Play with your hair and Hoola Hoop. Also, our bags were kept safely with your name tags while we have a ball and enjoy.
We were divided into 5-5 each for Have a Ball..where there was this huge inflatable bouncer filled with different colored pit balls. 3 people would be going in and finding out the White Dove balls..and 2 people would be standing out holding the buckets to catch those white balls. And the next team of 5 people does it. We collectively managed 175 balls.
Have a Ball
Our next game was Play with your hair..where we were given 5 hairstyles and 5 girls would create the hairstyles on 5 other girls and then those 5 girls will repeat the same on the girls who created before :p I guess all the teams got full 100 points here.
Play with your Hair
Then there was this life sized jigsaw puzzle..and we were given the left part of it..there were 3 teams and each team would be given one part of the complete picture. We managed to assemble it in 3 minutes and few seconds.
Jigsaw Puzzle
We later went to the Dove Salon area where we could get whatever hairstyles we did want,professionally and get pampered.
Dove Salon for Hair Makeovers
And lastly there was hoola hoop which we tried but could’nt complete due to lack of time.
Hoola Hoop
There was this one last bartending act near the pool where one girl would be representing her team..and she had to make a good drink and name it. Shivani from our team took the lead. The mixologist also gave out some tips. Top3 winners received Lakme Salon vouchers for everyone in the team. We lost there 🙁
Finally we had dinner and drinks, a DJ at the end. The winning team was announced. There was one more small game for 2 of the girls.
We all received Dove Keratin Actives Shampoo and Conditioner, Philips HP8309 Salon Straight Hair Straightner and a cute Dove bird blingy hair pin. And of course, Indiblogger tee and our pictures which we clicked there with all the fun props. The drops were also taken care of.
Pics we clicked there and got at the end
I think this was by far the best event/meet I have been to..since we were enjoying and had kept our bags with them, my camera was in my bag and I could not click enough pictures..so all these pics are from the Indiblogger page on facebook.
I am trying out the Dove Keratin Actives Range right now..and can see the difference in my hair already.
Dove claims: Dove Intense Repair Shampoo contains Keratin Actives that go deep within, to help rebuild damaged hair at the cellular level. It makes your hair beautifully smooth, strong and resilient to damage. Read more about it HERE.
Directions to use the Dove Intense Repair Shampoo :
1. After washing your hair thoroughly take 2 to 3 drops of the intense repair shampoo, equal to size of a coin, on your palm.
2. Then apply the dove shampoo, gently massaging it all over your hair from the roots to the tips.
3. Leave the dove shampoo on your hair for a couple of minutes and then rinse it off completely.
So basically all the damage from the heat and chemicals,can now be repaired. Let’s see..I will update you guys with a full review soon.
Also, we did not hear anything about the twitter winners there on ground..I hope we are updated by Indiblogger on this..coz some of us were tweeting a lot..and I even managed to find a Dove executive out of all the ladies in white and took a picture! :p
P.S: All the pics from the Indiblogger facebook page.
TRESemme Split End Remedy Shampoo, Conditioner Review

Conditioner Claims:

MRP: Rs.170/- for 215ml
I had been trying out the TRESemme Split End Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner as I had mentioned HERE and had even shared on my facebook..from about 2-3 weeks..
And now its time to review them. First of, I am loving the bright green colored packaging..the smell and feel of this shampoo and conditioner is totally professional salon kinds.
Both the shampoo and conditioner are white in color with normal texture..not too runny..have a nice fresh smell..that stays throughout the day! They have a easy flip cap packaging.
The shampoo lathers amazingly well..you do not need lots of it..it foams well, cleanses well..and gets rid of all the dirt and oil in a jiffy.
The conditioner is not the heavy moisturising kinds..but does its job well..I work it especially towards the end..since its meant to mend split ends..
If you read the ingredients carefully, you would see Keratin, Bition, Vitamin E, Vitamin B3, Vitamin C, etc which are all very good for the hair. It definitely gave me healthy looking, smooth hair as per their claims!
Now, I do not have much of an split ends problem, so cannot comment on the difference it makes. But what, I love about this range is, it is super light weight and gives my hair the shine and bounce..even the next day..I love how my hair feels after using this! No frizz, no weighing down, no greasiness. Only nice smelling, shiny, bouncy hair.
You can see my love for this range and how much my hair loves it.. my hair stays well behaved with this range.
I surely recommend this range..its my current Holy Grail! Highly recommend it.

Read about My Envy Box HERE and see my previous boxes of Jan, Feb, March and April.
Loved the pretty pink box..same as we had in April.
In this month’s box, I received..
Roberto Cavalli ‘Nero Assoluto’ EDT (A woody, floral fragrance-feminine,sensual and sophisticated. Loved it!)- 1.2ml
Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum– small ampoulle
Eminence Organics Tropical Vanilla Day Cream Sunscreen (SPF 32)- 3ml
H2O+ Targeted Hand & Nail Cream– 30ml
ZA True White Cleansing Foam– 5g
Ok, first of all, there were supposed to be makeup products in the previous box too and in this box too..none yet :/ Secondly, as I mentioned in my previous April box too, I am bored of this small sachet samples..except the H2O Hand and Nail Cream, none is decent sized. 2-3 ml stuff are not a good enough quantity to judge anything at all! Even if you like a product and would like to repurchase a bigger one, how would you judge if there is any change at all on your skin with a 2-3 ml product you used once!
Not very happy with the sample sizes except for the H2O one..the Roberto Cavalli perfume vial is good..smells amazing..totally me!
I feel My Envy Box should buck up now..and give us something good or exciting..its soon turning out to be one of those usual beauty boxes with 1-2ml samples. And definitely waiting for some good makeup things in the future boxes..atleast one item per month..since its being promised from the last 2 months..
Overall, again a mixed box..for me, only 2 products worked here,the perfume vial and H20 hand and nail cream..not very happy with the rest.
