The Various Styles Of Rado Watches For Your Man

In the luxury watch industry, the Rado name is a firmly established one. Since its 1917 establishment in a Swiss village, this watchmaker has gone on to scale numerous peaks in watch-manufacturing technology and innovation.

Rado has enjoyed a reputation for flair and ground-breaking technology-driven design ever since they made the world’s first scratch-resistant watch in 1962.

If you’re looking to buy a luxury watch that’s both smart and snazzy, you’ll need to look no further; the Rado selection includes a number of models to suit every taste. Choosing one can get a bit confusing with the sheer variety on offer.

Fret not, though! This guide will give you a short but thorough description of the various Rado product lines. Whether you buy your Rado watches online from retailers like Zimson or from other any other retailer this will help you choose the watch that’s just right for you.

The Rado HyperChrome Line

The design of these watches is inspired by the timeless classics made by Rado in the last century. These watches are the high range designer’s signature models for any occasion.

HyperChrome models come in a number of styles to suit every watch lover’s personal taste, and there are over 70 models on offer.
The pride of this model line are the HyperChrome watches in high-tech ceramic; they do away with the stainless steel core of previous ceramic models. Instead, these are crafted from a single piece of sleek-looking injected ceramic. These models promise comfort, durability, and great looks.

It’s not all male-only, though; smaller date models made especially for ladies include classy diamonds on the bezel, dial, and even the side inserts. There truly is a HyperChrome for everyone!

The DiaMaster Family

Rado’s DiaStar 1, launched way back in 1962, was the world’s first scratch-resistant watch. These DiaMaster timepieces are touted as the new face of an old legend, and more than live up to the expectations.

These stylish and durable versions of the old ultra-durable Rado watches have their own identity: large open dials for great visibility. With that said though, the design is still diverse enough to include large ultra-masculine chronographs and tasteful diamond-studded bijous.

Drawing from Rado’s famed material expertise, your DiaMaster is made from elements like a number of shades of ceramic, or leather or carbon-diffused steel. Given the versatility of these materials, you will have no trouble finding one that suits your tastes.

The Rado V10K

Though this refers not to a series but a model, the V10K is so unique that it warrants its own description here.

Rado has named this model based on its hardness rating; the watch has been scored at 10,000 Vickers, which is as hard as the average diamond! For comparison, stainless steel is rated at 200 on this scale.

It isn’t all hardness and masculine posing though; the V10K has also been carefully designed using sapphires and diamonds.

The Esenza Line

Rado’s Esenza line consists of elegantly designed models that are designed with women in mind, though not exclusively for them. Most Esenza watches are made for women, but men have a few choices here as well.

The design cue here seems to be smooth, sleek, and sensual. This line gave rise to the world’s first ceramic touch-controlled watch. In a world where technological breakthroughs are mostly focused on men, this watch made a significant difference by being designed exclusively for women.

There are diamond-encrusted models in this line as well. Whatever your taste, there’s an Esenza for you.

And That’s Not All…

Rado’s amazing product line contains much more than these lines.

The Ceramica line showcases the company’s material expertise; the Original line consists of a number of modern classics; all the products lines showcase this watchmaker’s dedication to beautiful and innovative devices that are much more than just watches.

Whether you want an uber-masculine large chronograph, a pretty diamond-studded ladies’ watch, or the world’s hardest watch, Rado has got it all.

Buy one today and see for yourself what the hype about these watches is all about!

#LIVAProtege 2015 Finale Fashion Show & Winners

Hi guys,

If you follow me on twitter (@bhumika_t) you know I attended the LIVA Protégé Finale Fashion Show on 23rd Dec, 2015. It was at the Palladium Hotel, the same stage where Lakme Fashion Week takes place but a different set up ofcourse.

Also last month in November, I had gone for the Mumbai mentoring session at Shruti Sancheti, the Mumbai mentor’s residence. She went through Diksha and Jasmine, the Mumbai finalists’ designs and gave them some recommendations, etc.

If you remember my #UnboxWithLiva event and my outfit, you know how amazingly soft, comfortable and fluid the LIVA fabric is.

Let me tell you a little more about Liva Protégé: Liva Protégé is not just another hunt for the best fashion designers, but a mission dedicated to the Indian fashion industry.

Powered by Liva – a new-age fabric designed to infuse incredible fluidity into garments, from the house of Birla Cellulose, Liva Protégé aims to tap into the great Indian talent pool and ensure that promising fashion designers in India get their rightful place under the sun, and help India keep shining across the global fashion landscape.

Starting this year, Liva Protégé will be an annual, pan-India hunt for the brightest fashion designers in the country.

The first edition – Liva Protégé 2015 – saw participants create evening wear from Liva fabrics. Innovative designs that have the potential to turn heads, became the flavour of the season, and propelled their creators to fashion stardom.

Liva Protégé 2015 saw 100+ budding designers from 50+ Leading Fashion Design Institutes go through 4 gruelling rounds. 6 different cities. 6 mentors. 12 Finalists.

Mentors were Shruti Sancheti from Mumbai, Sahil Kochhar from Delhi, Soham Dave from Ahmedabad, Agnimitra Paul from Kolkata, Manoviraj Khosla from Bengaluru and Chaitanya Rao from Chennai.

The Finale was judged by Soha Ali Khan, Prasad Naik, Ananya Birla, Narendra Kumar Ahmed and Nandini Bhalla.

I absolutely loved each of the 12 themes and every theme was totally different from the other. From different cities of India to different emotions to different art forms, each participant was given an unique theme and how they designed the outfits based on the theme was commendable! Not only the outfits but everything from the makeup, hair, accessories and shoes to the background, lighting and music matched perfectly to the themes. It was one spectacular show and I can say, one of the best fashion shows I have seen! The show also had a beautiful musical dance performance in between which left us mesmerized!

Every outfit was made with LIVA fabric and it was by and large established as a fashion fabric at LIVA Protégé ’15.

The winners were:

Winners

SAGARIKA JOSHI from Bengaluru  is the 2nd runner up. She was mentored by Manoviraj Khosla, her theme was ‘Taraxacum’, the plant family (also known as ‘Dandelion’)

NITIN GUPTA  from Ahmedabad is the 1st runner up. He was mentored by Soham Dave and his theme was Jaipur- Pink City, Blue Tale. I loved how he combined the Jaipur elements but in a blue theme.

RITURANA DEORI from Ahmedabad is the WINNER of LIVA Protégé 2015. He was also mentored by Soham Dave. His theme was Melancholia.

I wish all the best to all participants and they all were amazing, I know each of these 12 budding designers are going to be huge one day coz the talent was very much visible! The fact that LIVA is giving these budding designers a platform to showcase their talent and a chance to make big, is worthy of appreciation. I am really looking forward to more of #LIVAFluidFashion in LIVA Protégé 2016 now 🙂

Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub Review

Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub Review

Hi guys,

I have reviewed the Clean & Clear Morning Energy face washes before HERE and the Foaming Facial Wash HERE. Today I am reviewing the Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Daily Scrub.

What the Company claims:  Apple extracts that visibly reduce blackheads in just 3 days!

Recommended For: Those with blackheads, and those who don’t want them. For normal, dry, oily, and combination skin types.

How It Works: CLEAN & CLEAR® BLACKHEAD CLEARING Daily Scrub is a fast and effective solution for skin that is prone to blackheads. It has effective micro-scrubbing beads that break down trapped oil, dirt, and dead skin. The natural apple extract formula penetrates deep into pores to help soften stubborn blackheads, and prevents new ones from forming. Its gentle exfoliating action leaves your skin smooth and clean!

Directions: Squeeze a small amount on wet palm. As you work into a rich lather, gently massage the product all over your face, avoiding the eye area. Rinse off thoroughly. Use daily for skin that’s beautifully clean and clear!

Ingredients: Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Disodium Lauroamphodiacetate, Propylene Glycol, Lauryl Methyl Gluceth-10 Hydroxypropyldimonium Chloride, Polyethylene, Glycoldistearate, Laureth-4, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water, Carbomer, Salicylic Acid, PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, CI 77289, Fragrance, Sodium Hydroxide, Tetrasodium EDTA, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Malic Acid, Actinidia Chinensis (Kiwi) Fruit Juice, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Juice, Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Juice, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Juice, Trideceth-9, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Seed Extract

MRP: Rs.110/- for 80g (BUY HERE)

I was a regular user of this scrub and have gone through a lot of tubes, I am glad I got to try it again. It comes in a ombre blue tube with a navy blue flip cap packaging. Packaging is convenient and travel friendly, it also comes in smaller sizes which are perfect for travel.

It is gel like in texture and off white in color with tiny, white exfoliating beads and small green granules in between. It also foams a bit and can be used as a face wash. You do not need separate face wash and face scrub as it does the job of both beautifully.

It takes off the dirt and oil and skin feels squeaky clean post washing. Concentrate more on the nose area and the chin i.e. the area between the lip and chin while scrubbing, coz those areas are prone to blackheads the most.

Coming to the ingredients, it has Salicylic Acid which helps clear acne and blemishes and also acts as a mild exfoliator. Witch Hazel water makes for an excellent astringent/toner. Malic Acid helps in brightening & smoothing the skin. Aloe vera hydrates the skin. Kiwi & Orange juice are both loaded with Vitamin C and help you in clear, glowing skin. Grapefruit juice has retinol and has anti-aging benefits. It is also anti-bacterial. Apple Juice is amazing for oily skin as it helps treat acne and is full of Vitamin C. It helps uproot the blackheads which then come off easily with the scrubbing motion. It does have Alcohol which is a bit drying but the Sweet Almond Oil would balance the dryness.

This scrub as the name suggests is perfect and gentle for daily use. It will not harm the skin as the scrub granules are very mild and won’t tear your pores.

I don’t have a lot of blackheads but I do have a lot of whiteheads and this scrub has helped me in getting rid of all the whiteheads with a week of regular use. I think it will need longer and continuous use for blackheads though. You can also use it post makeup removal, to get rid of any makeup left in pores and cleanse the skin thoroughly.

I am using it daily right now and absolutely love it. Highly recommend it. It is economical and works for all skin types.

Kaya CC+ Complexion Corrector Cream Review, Swatches, FOTD

Hi guys,

A new review after a long time, this one was pending from months. Kaya launched this CC+ Complexion Corrector Cream and the Hydra Cleanse Makeup Remover both in November. I would be reviewing the remover too, since I shifted in December, there was a lot going on and also I misplaced some stuff, so until I settle down 😀

Anyway coming back to the review,

What the Company claims: Kaya’s Complexion Perfector Cream is a one-step solution to give your skin instant coverage and even skin tone with a perfect make-up finish. Kaya’s CC cream is specially formulated after careful research and development by dermatologists to suit all skin types and give you all in one skin benefits. The CC cream instantly blurs imperfections, reduces fine lines and gives your skin a smooth finish. It contains Imperita Cylindrica which provides moisturization and hydration for your skin to give it a natural looking instant glow. Containing SPF 25, the CC cream ensures sun protection from both UVA and UVB rays. To provide long term skin benefits it contains Niacinamide–a potent whitening active makes skin tone lighter and even toned with regular use.

MRP: Rs. 990/- for 30ml

Ingredients:

It comes in this black hard bottle packaging which looks like a tube but it is hard and cannot be squeezed, it looks like a tube but is more like a bottle. I love the pump dispensor and cap which is hygienic and easy to use.

It is moisturizing and does not make the skin feel uncomfortable, very light on the skin and good enough for daily use. I do need a moisturizer underneath currently as it’s colder, but I used this as it is in November and it worked just fine.

Sadly it only comes in one shade, which is good for medium skin tones. It gives light coverage and evens out the skin tone and redness but will not conceal your dark circles or acne scars. It looks quite light in the swatch but somehow matches the skin tone, but I think it will look a bit ashy on deeper skin tones.

I am glad that it gives SPF25 protection and has Niancinmide and pea extract in the ingredients which also heals the skin and fades acne scars. Pea extract contains antioxidants, amino acids, minerals and proteins.

Here is how it looks on me..

As you can see it has covered my dark circles and spots lightly but they are still very much visible.

Price and availability is an issue, though it is available online too now, it is surely priced on the higher side. But coming from Kaya Skin Clinic, you can be assured you are getting some skin benefits unlike other cosmetic brands’ BB/CC Creams. I would have liked at least 3-4 shade options and the price to be a little reasonable. Also all ingredients should have been mentioned.

Maybelline India Lip Gradation Info, Price, Shades, Swatches

Hi guys,

So finally Maybelline launched ColorBlur lip pencils/lip colours in India with the name ‘Lip Gradation‘. I rushed to the nearest Shoppers Stop today and found these 8 shades.

A little more about Lip Gradation: NEW COLOR SENSATIONAL LIP GRADATION

Go Bold Or Graded And Sexy On Your Lips With The New Color Sensational Lip Gradation. It’s time to experiment with your lip makeup. For the sexy, bold and adventurous woman, Maybelline New York brings international trends with the newest Lip Gradation. Available in 8 bright, matte shades, this double-sided lip product will inspire you to experiment with your looks and bring out your unique style and personality. The color stick at one end will give a gorgeous pop of color while the cushion blender tool at the other end will give a sexy, graded look. For a complete trend-on look, apply color on the centre of your upper lip and use the sponge smudger to extend the color to the outer edges till the contours of your lips or use it as a matte lip color or a lip liner.

Here’s why you will love it:

  • 8 bright, matte shades
  • Easy to apply
  • Fun, flirty, versatile way to color your lips
  • Innovative product with cutting edge technology

For Best Results: Apply Lip Gradation in the center of lips and blend outwards using the cushion blender.

Shades Available: 8

  • Red 1
  • Red 2
  • Pink 1
  • Pink 2
  • Fuchsia 1
  • Mauve 1
  • Orange 1
  • Coral 1

MRP: Rs.500/-

They come in a twist up crayon packaging and have to be twisted from the end, from where the blender is. There is a white blender on the other side. The crayon has a black cap and the blender has a transparent small cap.

The texture is super creamy, it feels like butter and the pigmentation is amazing too. And amazingly they have a nice, comfortable, matte finish.

You can either apply it to inner half and/or outer half and create a shaded effect with the blender or mix two shades for an ombre lip.

The shade names are very funny, how and why Red 1, Red 2 :/ Could have had better names.

Here are the swatches:

I got the Mauve shade, coz the reds and pinks looked pretty similar to lip crayons I already have. Loved Coral too, and was loving the look of Orange too. Maybelline has again not launched the super pretty burgundy and wine shades the ColorBlur Lip Pencils have 🙁

These are slightly priced on the expensive side for Maybelline, I think around 400-450 would have been an ideal price but nonetheless I have tried it once and like it, will update with the full review super soon 🙂 For all others who are looking to try this out, I would suggest getting the Coral and Mauve as both the shades are quite different.

Have you checked out the new Maybelline Lip Gradation Pencils yet? Which shade did you like?

The Body Shop Moringa Hand Cream Review

The Body Shop Moringa Hand Cream Review

By Archana

Hand cream is an essential item in my handbag always during winters. I can’t survive without hand creams during this cold, dry season. Recently, I had gone to TBS to purchase a gift for a friend’s birthday and as the SA was giving me a whiff of various fragrances to try, I loved the Moringa variant fragrance and got tempted to picked the hand cream from the range. Read on to know how ‘The Body Shop Moringa Hand Cream’ fares.

Products claims: This flowery Moringa daily hand cream helps soften and protect hands with light, juicy moisture. The instantly absorbing formula is ideal for on-the-go hydration. Non-greasy moisture. Wonderfully light gel-cream formula. Absorbs instantly. Enriched with Community Fair Trade Shea Butter from Ghana.

Ingredients:

Directions to use: Squeeze a small amount onto hands and massage well.

Packaging:

The hand cream comes in a compact, sleek tube packaging with a tiny black screw cap. The tube is shiny with a very pale yellowish green color. The full ingredients list is mentioned on the back side. I find the packaging very travel friendly as it fits easily in a handbag or even a purse without taking too much space. Also, there is no leakage or spillage whatsoever.

Texture and fragrance:

The cream has a pale yellowish color with a medium consistency, not too thick or too thin. The fragrance is light floral jasmine scent similar to the other products in the Moringa range. Though it is a floral fragrance, it is not very feminine, so its actually a unisex product.

My experience:

The Body Shop Moringa Hand Cream is made with cold-pressed seed oil from hand-picked moringa pods. I squeeze a pea sized amount of the cream and rub it in my hands while massaging. It spreads and blends easily due to its right consistency and gets absorbed completely in a couple of seconds. The fragrance lingers for a while and yes, the scent is a little strong, so that whenever I apply this hand cream in office, my team mates ask where is this jasmine fragrance coming from and start looking around! 🙂

It moisturizes and nourishes my hands instantly and relieves the dry feeling. The moisturization effect lasts for around 3 hours or till you wash your hands. Since it gets absorbed quickly, you can go back to your work immediately without worrying about the cream transferring to other items. Unlike some hand creams which I have used in the past, they used to stain my keyboard with the cream stains if I start typing without waiting for it to be fully absorbed. With this Body Shop cream, I haven’t faced any such issues.

However, this cream might not be for very dry hands. I was travelling for sometime last month and stopped using the cream during that time. After the travel, I fell sick. As I had neglected my hands for a long time, they became very dry and started peeling due to the cold. My hands started itching and there were rashes on my fingertips. During that time, when I tried this hand cream, it didn’t work for me at all. I apply the cream and barely within two minutes, my hands started feeling dry once again. I had to go back to my trusted savior, The Body Shop Cocoa Body Butter, to heal my hands.

Pros:

* Moisturizes and nourishes hands adequately.

* Gets absorbed quickly.

* Does not make hands greasy.

* Doesn’t leave any residue which might transfer to other items while working.

* Nice floral jasmine fragrance.

* Compact, travel-friendly packaging.

Cons:

* Not suitable for very dry skin.

Price and quantity: Rs.350 for 30ml.

Rating: 4.2/5

Verdict:  The Body Shop Moringa Hand Cream is a perfect go-to cream to have in your work desk in office and in your handbag wherever you go. It is light, gets absorbed quickly without any greasiness and has a lovely floral fragrance. However, if you have extremely dry skin, then it might not be suitable for you.

Editor’s Note: Sounds refreshing for summers, I might give it a try in summers. I love the L’Occitane hand creams though, especially lavender. Also currently loving the Crabtree & Evelyn.

Not just Welcome, Impress your Guests

Hi guys,

With festivals around and guests coming in to visit, we all love to make up our home. Here are 5 tips that will not only freshen up your living space, but will also leave a lasting impression on the guests.

1.    Welcome guests in style.

The first part every guest sees is the entrance. Add potted plants at the entrance. This will make your home refreshing and inviting. Plus plants always spread a positive aura around.

2.    Get some space.

Want some more room for your room? Just add mirrors to different walls. A strategically placed mirror reflects light and can make a small area seem much larger! Works like magic, try that.

 3.    A small change to leave a big impact.

Sometimes, a little change in your interiors can leave your guests speechless. Don’t move everything around. Try swapping a chair, sofa or just brighten the lights. One quirky piece of furniture can also do the trick.

4.    Add to the charm.

Say goodbye to boring. Dress up your drawer handles with colorful ribbons, paint legs of an old chair or cover old boxes with wrapping paper. You can even reuse the plastic bottles as flower vases by spray painting them. There are so many ways to DIY your old stuff, check Pinterest for some home decor DIY and get inspired.

5.    Let the kitchen do the talking

A clean & hygienic kitchen will make you picture perfect in front of your guests. That’s why, while cleaning the kitchen, make sure you get rid of cockroaches too. Cockroaches are not just embarrassing but also dangerous. They crawl into your kitchen through dirty places and hide in various corners. They spread food poisoning by contaminating food & utensils behind your back.

So, don’t let cockroaches turn you and your guests down. Use LAL HIT, the only solution that can kill even the hidden cockroaches with its unique ‘Deep Reach Nozzle’.

Controlling the pests is most important for health and hygiene, so #SayNoToFoodPoisoning today.

How do you welcome your guests? Any home decor tips or DIY you would like to suggest? Let me know in the comments below.

The Absolute Range, endorsed by the beauty icon Kareena Kapoor, has some amazing products and professional look.

Coming to today’s list of top 10 products from Lakme, it is indeed the toughest to choose. Even if I go for top 20, the list wouldn’t be complete for Lakme. Seldom have their launches failed and each and every product has a beauty of their own. You know they say that you can’t have it all, right? The same goes for this list. Please forgive me if I have not added your favorite product in the list. Read on to know the raved Lakme products in India. (Click on product links to read reviews or see swatches) (See Maybelline Top 10 Products HERE)

1. Lakme CC Cream (MRP: Rs.275/-) – a great multi-functional cream for all those busy women who needs to even out their skin tone yet wants to make it quick. Loaded with mild SPF 20, brightening agents add a certain glow to brighten your skin, conceals faded marks and refreshes the skin, this is like a must have! One more thing that is raving about this CC cream and sets part from other is that it is extremely flexible for the skin type. It suits every skin type – it hydrates the dry skin while gives a non-greasy look to the oily skin all-round the year. To make it look matte, you simply need to dab a mattifying powder and you are good to go.

2. Lakme Eyeconic Kajal {210 INR(BLACK) 275 INR (COLOR)}– with a staple black color and also other 5 colors, very recently to added few more shades to the eyeconic kohl group. If you are a fan of creamy kajals that gives a total smudge free and water proof look even in summers for around 6-7hours, you are absolutely digging this one. I have tried so many kajals like any obsessive makeup lover but always come back to this. Moreover, the colors are matte, creamy and looks drop dead gorgeous!

3. Lakme Enrich Satin Lipsticks (INR 260)– probably the oldest and budget friendly range of lipsticks in India which have been used by woman from every walk of life. The packaging has been very recently revamped to the steel body which looks glorious. The new shade collection and packaging has been an instant hit and received appreciation from everywhere. They have some amazing red, browns and pinks for every occasion. The finish is satin velvety and hydrates the lips as well. For such a budget friendly price tag, buy at least one from this beautiful range.

4. Lakme 9 to 5 Foundation (INR 575) – 9 to 5 is personally my favorite range and the quality is as remarkable as it gets. Out of every product of this range, my favorite is the foundation which seem to be the right match for me. It is brightening yet looks like my own skin. The beauty of the foundation lies in its texture which can also be blended with the finger tips when you are in a hurry. It works for all skin tones and gives a sheer to buildable coverage. The staying power is good hardly requires touch ups. Now they have come up with the revamped formula and packaging, the Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Foundation.

5. Lakme Absolute Matte Lip Tints – chubby lip balms are becoming a craze now a days and also the ‘matte’ mania in the beauty industry. Our very own Lakmé has brought forward the Lakme Absolute Matte Lip Tints which are both chubby and matte. With a soft texture that glides like a dream yet settles matte along with an amazing pigmentation, the lip tints were an instant hit when it launched. Although it has 6 shades, every shade is absolutely stunning.

6. Lakmé Absolute Kohl Ultimate (INR 700) – Lakmé’s Absolute Kohl Ultimate known as the blackest black kajal in the market. The richness of the color and intensity of the pigmentation is to die for. It is undoubtedly long lasting and hardly budges even after 12hours. It is also a multi-purpose one as you can create some smoky look for parties and worth every penny you spend on it.

7. Lakme Nail Polish Remover (INR 70)– this has been in the market forever and also another impeccable one. There are glitter and sparkle nail paints which are a pain to remove from nails but with Lakme Nail Polish Remover I have seen it working like a magic. I have used various nail remover which does work on regular nail paints but this one is a stunning beauty which works for everything.

8. Lakmé Absolute Mattreal Skin Natural Mousse Foundation (INR 700)– another gem of a foundation from Lakme. It comes in a very cute round packaging and has 3 shades. It is feather light on the skin and also evens out the skin. It doesn’t block the pores like other foundations and let the skin breathe. Even though it is a matte foundation, it can be used for winters and yet doesn’t accentuates to dry areas. It blends flawlessly and quite budget friendly for the quality it delivers.

9. Lakmé Perfect Radiance Range (INR 275-700)– the best skin care range one can opt for. It has proper items for both oily and dry skin and with continuous usage you will notice the transformation of the skin. From face wash to gloss crème to serums – it will cater every need of yours and gives a radiant glow to the skin. It also has a night crème and capsule treatment that leaves your skin healthy and blooming in just a month. Highly recommend for the would-be brides

10. Lakme Absolute Gel Addict Eyeliner (INR 800) – the last but not least, the Gel Addict Eyeliners. With the craze of cat eyeliners, came the craze of gel liner and every brand has brought forward their versions. Lakme went a step ahead and launched the beautiful packed gel liner with the brush. The colors are gorgeous and perfect for every occasion like party, office, weddings and the list continues. It is so easy to apply and travel with that you must have one from the range.

Editor’s note: Nice compilation Sanchita, I love the Lakme Absolute Matte Lip Tints and Kohl Ultimate Kajal. One of my all time favourites and/or must have is the Lakme Absolute Face Stylist Compact Powder 🙂 I would also like to add the Lakme Absolute Sculpt Studio Matte Lipsticks, love them, and the Drama Stylist Eye Crayons.

OOTD: December Fashion Lookbook

Hi guys,

So last month I recorded all the outfits I wore to different events and did not get a chance to post them on the blog, so I am compiling all of them together today.

Here is the youtube video, a small lookbook kind 🙂

Outfit 1:

It’s an abstract print maxi dress which is sheer half way through and has slits on the side. I paired it with nude sling bag and nude/beige clogs and my rose gold Michael Kors watch. I wore it to The Body Shop #JourneyAroundTheWorld Event.

Dress: Femella Trends
Shoes: Steve Madden
Watch: Michael Kors
Bag: Accessorize

Outfit 2:

I love midi skirts and this rose print one is my most favourite. I paired this skirt with a simple white shirt and folded the sleeves. A black and pink roses statement necklace and the same watch and bag to complete the look. My same old black and gold ankle strap sandals. I wore this to the Avene #SensitiveSkin event as the theme was white and pink.

Shirt: Old
Skirt: Shown HERE and HERE
Watch: Michael Kors
Bag: Accessorize
Necklace: Vero Moda

Outfit 3:

This is the same outfit I wore for my birthday last year. (See HERE) It’s an off shoulder black half printed dress. I love how this dress is so comfortable and has two pockets 😀 I wore this to the Amante store launch. My MK watch and orange bucket bag to complete the look.

Dress, Bag: StalkBuyLove
Watch: Michael Kors

Outfit 4:

This is an old bird print peter pan collar dress, I spoke about this dress in my 2015 rewind post. It comes with a white belt and is a perfect day time/brunch/shopping with friends kind of a dress. Again super comfortable and can be worn anywhere. The same rose gold MK watch and Accessorize sling 🙂 And my favourite tan brogues finish the look. I wore this for the TBZ video shoot, see HERE

Dress: Romwe
Watch: Michael Kors
Bag: Accessorize
Brogues: Footin
