The Corinthians Resort & Club, Pune- My Experience
Hey guys,
So if you read my post about the American Swan Beauty & The Blogger, you must have read we stayed at the Corinthians Resort & Club in Pune..And I wanted to share my experience of living in this beautiful space for 4 days..I am so going to miss all this..it was super fun..more so coz of this location.

They have three types of rooms: Deluxe, Superior and Suite..we were in the Deluxe room and each room was shared by two..so I was put up with one other blogger Shanaya.
They have 5 restaurants/cafes in the hotel: Salsa Global (Mediterranean and Indian cuisine), Pyramisa Multi- Cuisine and Resto Bar (multi-cuisine all day dining resto-bar), Oceanus Poolside Cafe, Oasis Pool Bar (in-pool, swim-up bar) and The 1st Brewhouse (They have freshly brewed fine quality Beer…and Apple Cider Beer is supposed to be the best. I liked it, did not love it though.). Every year they have a Beer Marathon 😀 So, beer lovers in Pune or those visiting Pune, you know where to head 😉
The hotel is super huge for all sorts of indoor (The Grand Ball Room, Alexandria,etc) and outdoor (Pantheon, Colosseum,etc) events. We were put up at Alexandria for the makeup and hair and nail art, etc and even our lunch and dinner..so we were practically living at Alexandria the whole 4 days. We partied at the 1st Brewhouse once and out outdoor adventure round was at the Cricket pitch and we had our grand finale at an open ground.
Alexandria is right above the pool area..so we could see people enjoying the music, DJ and having fun.
We had basic things for lunch and dinner but still every single time no subzi or dal or dessert was repeated..a different variety each time..and it tasted good too.
The pools and landscapes were beautiful and lush..you feel like just sitting and watching it all day long. My stay was pretty comfortable and memorable..I am surely coming back again..and would recommend it to all my friends too..
If you guys follow me on facebook, twitter or Instagram, you must have seen that I was at Corinthians Pune this whole week for the American Swan Beauty & The Blogger show.
I was one of the lucky 8 bloggers out of India, who were a part of American Swan Beauty & the Blogger.

And what is Beauty & The Blogger..Its a web based reality show..first of its kind in India.
A bevy of beauties and the brainiest bloggers star in this one of a kind web reality show. We kick off with a 3-day action packed event where 8 fashion models team up with 8 bloggers to participate in a multi-round reality game. The beauty will drive up the glamour quotient while the blogger will buzz social media with real-time updates, pictures and behind the scenes videos, straight from the heart of the action!
The event was being hosted by the celebrated VJ, Cyrus Sahukar. Top model Anusha Dandekar mentored the beauties and celebrity blogger Miss Malini mentored the bloggers. The event was followed by the Grand Finale – a power packed playlist of ‘American Swan Beauty & the Blogger’ that can be watched by all subscribers of the FameBox Fashion YouTube Channel.
The winning beauty will be the ‘Face of American Swan’, India’s fastest growing premium online apparel brand and the winning blogger will be American Swan’s ‘Social Media Ambassador’. Winners also take home a cash prize of Rs.5 lacs and tons of merchandise. To top it all off, both the beauty and the blogger will host their own YouTube channels on the FameBox Network!
Its produced by FameBox Network..Also, we had Lakme and TRESemme as associate sponsors and the location was Corinthians Resort, Pune.
Style Cracker was our styling partner..
So, the 1st day we left at 6am early morning on Monday for Pune..and the bus broke down on the Expressway 15 minutes before Lonavala and we were stranded..we had to wait there for another bus to arrive..and our whole schedule was running late then onwards..the profile shoot of bloggers which was to happen on the 1st day was postponed to next day morning since it was to be done in daylight and outdoors.
So we got all decked up and ready..and then went off to sleep, after shooting 1-2 videos that is,for the hairstyle and makeup :p Nothing productive. Next day morning we got our profile shoots done and then had to change for the 2nd round..the models had a swim wear round and later they had a task which was diving into the pool and getting a black bag with colored placards inside..and it was timed..so the top 3 girls who were quickest won points.
Swim and pairing round
The bloggers were given a bag each and had colored bands inside..and the models were holding the placards they fetched from the pool..and each model was paired with a blogger by matching the colors of the bands and placards.
All the models and bloggers paired
I got teamed up with Priyanka Deb Choudary..and our team was Team NLM (which stands for my blog, as we got only 5 minutes to think of a name..I could’nt think of anything!) She also came 3rd in the swimming round and that won our team some brownie points.
Me with my Model Priyanka
And we got a task of clicking 3 pictures of the models..The Oomph Look, The Wet Look and the Whacky Selfie of both..and all of us bloggers had basically turned into Atul Kasbekar clicking the models in their bikinis and sexy poses! 😀 Our team won the Best Click in The Wet Look category.
Our winning shot for ‘The Wet Look’
Next day we had an adventure round..where there was a series of tasks to do..like a relay..one by the blogger and one by the model..basically team effort. I got bruised knees coz of the tyre task and I was badly tanned/burned (4 shades darker) coz of shooting in the sun continuously for 6-7 hours.We were not in the Top 3 in that sadly 🙁
Adventure RoundJust before the Adventure RoundMe clicking my model in one of the tasks of the Adventure Round
We had Daniel Bauer for TRESemme who had come down to meet all of us..and even demonstrated 3 hairstyles on 3 models. It was followed by a Hollywood night..where we just partied and let our hair down at The 1st Brewhouse at the Corinthians Pune. I also got the Most Stylish tag by VJ Anusha and a compliment from Cyrus! Made my night :p
Daniel Bauer styling Model Surbhi’s hairGot the Most Stylish tag 😀
Next day we had the Talent Round and the Grand Finale. Lauren Gottlieb, brand ambassador of American Swan also joined us on the last day. We had some time to prepare for the Talent Round where we had 2-3 minutes to do anything we would like..unfortunately my model Priyanka fell ill after the adventure round and we could not prepare anything due to lack of time and we just sang..and we knew we had not put in the required efforts, so were not in the Top 3 in that too.
All of us before the Talent Round and Grand FinaleLauren! How hot is she..and how I love her #GirlCrush
This was followed by the Grand Finale and announcement of the top 3 teams for on ground activities..we were 5th on the basis of on ground activities due to the adventure round and the talent round.
But, on the basis of social media, I was in the 2nd position throughout on all 4 days. Now, once all the videos are uploaded on Youtube..it also depends on youtube engagement. So, let’s see how things work out. Thanks a lot for all your love and support throughout and I hope it continues later too 🙂
I loved the team and crew..very friendly and caring..we all hardly slept 2-3 hours in a day and were shooting continuously and the crew might be sleeping even lesser..still we all had so much fun! A nice experience to have..all the makeup and hair by Lakme and TRESemme, getting decked up before every shoot, the touch ups, the shoots, the OTF’s, everything..I am looking forward to the videos now..I hope they come out good..since it was the first time for me, to be on camera like this!
Thanks for reading, if you survived through the post 🙂 My small little journey of American Swan Beauty & The Blogger.

Shades Available: 4
Purple Punch
Cobalt Cool
Turquoise Burst

MRP: Rs.399/- for 0.28g
Avon already has Glimmersticks eyeliners and they are pretty known and famous and quiet good..I had reviewed the shade Nocturnal HERE.
They have launched these Glimmersticks Ultra Brights now..but not sure why the prices increased so much from Rs.259/- directly to Rs.399/- though they are mostly on offers..
Glimmersticks are generally metallic shades or ones with shimmer..these are matte but bright..
It goes on smooth and is quite creamy..no tugging or pulling..but requires layering for the intensity..atleast 2 swipes..not multiple though. Stays on for 6-7 hours before fading off.
Purple Punch is a matte bluish purple shade..
Pros:
1. Pretty brights.
2. Smudge proof and does not spread around.
3. Stays for a good 6-7 hours.
4. Mechanical and retractable..so no wastage.
5. Matching shade at the end to identify.
Cons:
1. Needs to be layered twice for the intensity.
2. Only available through an Avon rep.
Overall I liked this shade..but would have loved it more had the pigmentation been better..the previous Glimmersticks were more pigmented..or may be its just this shade..I am not sure..but definitely worth a try..especially on offers.

Maybelline The Colossal Kohl/Kajal Turquoise Review, Swatches, FOTD
So, if you follow me on my facebook page or Instagram, you must have seen this already ! The new Maybelline Colossal Turquoise Kajal..I had done a look with it..I received it in Feb but since I was supposed to be hush hush about it before, I was mum :p
Ok anyways, now since its officially launched and you can lay your hands on it too..let me review it for you guys..
What the Company claims: Go all out with glamourous eyes in the most exciting Colossal Kohl- Turquoise which LINES like a kohl and DEFINES like a liner. Turquoise kohl is a refreshing twist on the conventional black kohl and a must have fashion and beauty accessory. Here’s why you’ll love it:
Provides 12 hours of smudge free turquoise intensity
Color doesn’t smudge or fade
Enriched with nourishing ingredients and Vitamin E to soothe the eye
Features a unique tip that glides smoothly for an even application
100% suitable for your eyes
It comes in the same yellow retractable pencil packaging as the Maybelline Colossal Kajal Black..only with the metallic blue script on it..
Since turquoise blue is perfect for summers, Maybelline came up with this shade..
Its a metallic turquoise blue shade with some minute shimmer..I would not say its as pigmented as the black kajal..though its smooth but needs to be layered for the color to show up.
Also its a little soft and breakable..
The color stays for a good 6-7 hours on the upper lashline but on the lower lashline, it stays for 2-3 hours..before it fades off..there is no smudging or flakes issue.
Here I have done a winged liner with it on the upper lashline..and connected it to the lower lashline..and used the black Colossal Kajal on the waterlines..
And an FOTD :p
Pros:
1. Nice bright summer color.
2. I like the fuss free, travel packaging as the black kajal..with the metallic blue script.
3. Pops up the eyes.
4. Is smooth to use…no tugging.
5. Stays for 6-7 hours on the upper lashline.
6. Does not smudge or flake.
Cons:
1. Not that pigmented..needs to be layered.
2. Does not stay longer on the lower lashline.
Overall, I would say its a nice refreshing change from the usual blacks and browns..also this bright blue is actually perfect for summers for popping up the eyes. Definitely worth a try !

Illusion is a metallic lilac silver..one prettty shade it is ! I loved it..in fact all four shades in this range look great..
There is a hair makeover section and a makeup section too..Remember my hair last time (see HERE)
This time since the Salon was set up inside Hyatt itself..heat could not be used and hence there were only upstyles and braids..which I was not too keen on..so did not go for the hair makeover this time..only got my nails done..
I attended the Lakme Absolute Illusion Masterclass (Read about it HERE) and 2 shows-
Papa Don’t Preach/ Ken Ferns/ Gaga/ Sonaakshi Raaj (Ken Ferns’ Showstopper was Gauahar Khan and Sonaakshi Raaj’s Showstopper was Prachi Desai)

These are named after types of music..I loved Dance, Rock, Gospel and Pop.. Which ones did you like ?
What the Company claims: 96% of girls in India desire shiny hair. However daily stresses like harsh sunlight and excessive pollution may rob the hair of essential shine and moisture, leaving it dull and limp. Sunsilk Radiant Shine shampoo and conditioner combines the nourishing qualities of five oils which have beneficial effects on hair – Argon, Jojoba, Camellia, Almond and Olive. The dual effects of oiling and washing softens the hair texture not just from the outside, but ensures that hair receives nourishment at periodic intervals. The light oils permeate up to three layers deep and give hair a natural sheen that stays as the day progresses. So you can show off your shine that stays on and on!
Expert Tip for Shiny Hair: Vitamin E is vital for luscious shiny locks. It is found in foods such as avocadoes, berries and nuts. Blowdry your hair inside out and work your way up from tips to the scalp. Always use a heat protector spray before heat styling your hair. Make sure you up your iron intake in your diet.
Shampoo & Conditioner
Shampoo Ingredients:
Conditioner Ingredients:
MRP: Rs.110/- for 180ml, Rs.189/- for 340ml
It comes in a off white and golden bottle..shampoo in the trademark Sunsilk packaging with the slanted cap..and conditioner in a tube packaging..
Shampoo is light yellow in color with very minute shiny shimmer..has an amazing smell !
The shampoo foams really well..in one wash, hair is thoroughly cleansed..and feels smooth and with minimum tangles..
Conditioner is very creamy yellow in color and smells amazing too..and does make hair softer..
I loved it..it actually makes hair smooth and shiny..not mirror like shine obviously..I hope no one was expecting that 😀 But, definitely a nice healthy sheen.
Pros:
1. Shampoo and Conditioner both smell amazing.
2. Makes hair softer and smoother.
3. Gives a nice healthy sheen to the hair.
4. Economical.
5. Easily available.
6. Creamy conditioner hydrates the hair well..they do not feel dry as with some conditioners..
7. Both shampoo and conditioner have Argon, Jojoba, Camellia, Almond and Olive oils.
Cons:
1. Has SLS and SLES.
I know its not exactly something that would control your dandruff or hair fall, but its not even claiming that..no cons for me except for sulphates..coz it works amazingly well..currently my HG ! Highly recommended.

New Maybelline 12H Colossal Kajal Review, Swatches
I had reviewed the Maybelline Colossal Kajal previously HERE. Now they have relaunched it in a darker and more long staying form..the previous one claimed 6 hours of wear and this one claims 12 hours..
Read on to know how it fares..
What the Company claims:
MRP: Rs.175/- for 0.35g
The packaging is the same..the same yellow swivel up mechanical pencil. Its nice, rich black and easy to apply..does not tug or pull.
Thats the whole qty
I did not like the previous one much..as it did not stay longer on my watery eyes..in fact no kohl stays longer than 2-3 hours on me..
But but this one did ! For almost 5-6 hours which is a very good thing considering my watery eyes. But it does smudge a little more than the previous one..that did not spread around giving raccoon eyes..this one does at times..
Here is the swatch..
L: Swatch R: After smudging
And on eyes..
Before, After
Pros:
1. Its nice dark black.
2. Glides on nicely..no tugging or pulling.
3. Reasonably priced.
4. Stays for 5-6 hours on my watery eyes ! Thats a long time for me 😀
5. It does not go away completely leaving your eyes bare..and there is always a hint of it till the time you remove it.
6. Does not smear much..the swatch did not budge from the hand.
Cons:
1. Claim of 12 hours..I am not really sure about.
2. No Ingredients mentioned.
3. Does give raccoon eyes at times..especially when eyes watery.

The Mumbai Bride Diaries: Engagement Jewellery and Shoes
Check out my previous post to see my outfit HERE and the mehendi and manicure,pedicure post HERE.
Today I am talking about jewellery and shoes.. Coming to the jewellery,what all can be worn as a part of jewellery:
1. Set consisting of necklace and earrings: A basic set which complements the outfit..you can go heavy or light depending on your preference..I wanted something light..and a maang tikka can also form a part of the set.
2. Matching Set of Bangles: You can either go for kadas if you do not want to wear whole set of bangles..or a set of bangles..any shop stocking bangles would customise it according to your outfit..you can ofcourse make changes in it as per your liking.
3. Kamar patta or Waist Belt: I wanted to add one..but did not find anything appropriate so skipped it..you can definitely wear it if you find something good..that works well with your outfit too.
4. Latkans : These days the latkans are quite in..ya the same ones which we have in our anarkalis and blouses on the back..we can also wear them on the sides of the waist across the saris or lehengas..you can combine a few different ones and mix and match.
5. Baju Band or Armlet : One can also add baju band on the upper arm..especially if your outfit is sleeveless or has very short sleeves..looks pretty..
6. Payal or Anklets: Kundan payal looks great and would match most of the Indian outfits..you can find so many designs of it these days.
I wore a simple gold set with some silver accents and diamonds in between and blue droppings and only the earrings..skipped the maang tikka as I wanted a light look..one can always add a maang tikka too.
Matching set of bangles to the outfit.
Stiff Kundan Payal..they have this oblong shape..and have a key lock..
Shoes : I chose these Catwalk shoes with gold motifs and pearl and diamonds on the front..same shoes were available in 2 inches more heel but with a broader band at the front..I needed heels coz fiancee is 6’3” :/ And I did buy those, somehow the transaction failed and since it was only one pair left, it was showing Out of Stock then..and later when I checked I guess it was already sold out..though I liked this smaller band more..but heels also were less in these..nonetheless I felt they looked perfect with the outfit..I bought these online from Jabong.
Places to shop for..I knew which is the best place in my area for the jewellery and bangles and so was found it there..so I checked out many shops for the set and did not like it much anywhere or did not find something that would compliment the outfit well..I would suggest first checking out your local famous shops, then online and also compare prices..I liked a few on Homeshop18, Craftsvilla, etc..But checking out and trying personally is what is recommended..
In Mumbai..you can check out Magic Mirror in Matunga and Santacruz, Sia outlets, shops in Bhuleshwar for artificial jewellery..for real gold and diamonds I would recommend going to your trusted family jeweller..I like diamonds from Manubhai Jewellers in Borivali and Ghatkopar…my engagement ring is also from there.
Hope you liked the post..if you still have any doubts or need any help, shoot me an email at bhumika_thakkar@yahoo.co.uk and I would be ready to help..
