The velvety richness of this lipstick is addictive, and of course, SUGAR’s signature intense pigmentation gives you an opaque coverage in just one swipe.

It comes in a small square packaging, different than their usual long and slender packaging for lipsticks. It has a waxy formula and a velvet matte finish, they feel better on the lips than the Matte Lip Crayons. They are super light weight and non drying, you don’t feel like you have lipstick on your lips.
They hardly transfer and stay put for 5-6 hours easily, longer without eating. They feel super comfortable on the lips.
Pigmentation is pretty good and you don’t need more than 2 swipes even for most pigmented lips. I found only one shade Berry Boop slightly patchy, rest all were fine.
I love the shade range they have launched, the neutrals in this range are amazing. They will add more shades in the future, but currently loving all the shades they have!
Shades:
Cherry Jane is a cool toned red
Teaker Bell is a brown burgundy
Minnie Mauve is a medium rose mauve
Powerbuff Girls is a muted red toned brown
Berry Boop is a deep berry
Little Bo Peach is a medium peach
They are very economical and I highly recommend these! There is nothing to not like about them. My absolute favourites are Minnie Mauve, Powerbuff Girls and Little Bo Peach. The cool toned red Cherry Jane is stunning too, and perfect for the current festive season!

Bollywood Actresses Who Nailed The Punjabi Kudi Look
By Nidhal
There is something indescribable about an archetypal Punjabi kudi, isn’t it? An aura of cheerfulness, pertness with oodles of vivaciousness and a my-way- or-the- highway attitude that she naturally exudes – Punjabi ladies compel one to take a second, more relaxed look at the firebrand lasses.
With respect to their choices in raiment, they know what they want and make no bones about it and boy, they look drop-dead gorgeous in everything that they swaddle themselves in as if it were tailor- made for them in the first place.
A number of our leading ladies in Tinsel-town have oft essayed Punjabi characters. While some went too loud and embarked on a cheesy treacle, others gripped the audience, critics and fashion connoisseurs effortlessly. Discounting for the ones who took the audience for a ride, here is a precis of those leading Bollywood Actresses Who Nailed The Punjabi Kudi Look.
1. ANUSHKA SHARMA- With a radiant skin, glossy mane, piercing gaze and go-getter persona, Anushka slipped into the role of a typical Punjabi girl from Delhi named Shruti Kakkar in Band Baaja Baaraat opposite then newcomer – Ranveer Singh effortlessly. While the flick was exalted for its fresh script and execution, we cannot get over the burst of vivaciousness Anushka brought to the silver screen with her Punjabi character.
2. KAREENA KAPOOR KHAN- Here comes a Punjabi kudi in real life too. It is trite that expectations hit the ceiling when a real-life Punjabi lass essays a reel-life Punjabi character. Kareena’s portrayal of the loudmouth but lovable Geet in the 2007 rom-com opposite Shahid Kapoor – Jab We Met, won her accolades and appreciation from all corners. Naturally, she looks an archetypal Punjabi lady onscreen convincingly!
3. ALIA BHATT- The young and perky actress swaddled herself in typical bright Punjabi outfits in the rom-com Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania opposite the livewire Varun Dhawan who played the titular role. With oodles of rumbustiousness and boisterousness, she looked adorable onscreen.
4. PREITY ZINTA- With that enviable dimple on her cheek, Preity Zinta slipped into the role of a rustic Punjabi lass effortlessly. Clad in colour co-ordinated Punjabi salwar Kameez, while beaming joyfully she infused a new energy on the 77 mm screen.
5. GENELIA D’SOUZA- The livewire Genelia essayed the character of a Punjabi girl – Mini in Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya opposite her now-hubby Riteish Deshmukh. Donned in typical embellished Punjabi suits and exuding a carefree attitude, Genelia nailed the look.
6. KAJOL- And who can give the powerhouse performer Kajol’s role in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham a miss? Essaying the role of a typical Chandni Chowk motormouth, her portrayal is hard to miss. Chirpy, bubbling with gusto and an out and out live-wire, she hits the bulls-eye with her styling and acting chops.
7. SABA QAMAR – A newbie to B-town, Pakistani actress Saba Qamar’s acting credentials are hard to overlook. So is her cherubic semblance. In the critically and commercially acclaimed Hindi Medium, Saba essayed the role of Mita Batra and carried off the typical Delhi lingo, mannerisms and body language convincingly.

Indian Wedding Outfits for The Bride’s/Groom’s Brother
By Sanchita
While plethora of options available for women when it comes to wedding guest outfits or attires, there are only handful of them available for men. One of the reasons is that men tends to stick to the tried and tested formals or traditional wear for ages but recently, there are various ethnic outfit inspirations have come up for the wedding guest outfits or attires for men. Choosing a Indian wedding outfit for the bride or groom’s brother can be slightly difficult. One has to choose the attire cautiously which should not overshadow the outfit of the groom but it should be unique and stylish enough. I have enlisted below the various choices for the Indian Wedding Outfits for Men (especially The Bride’s/Groom’s Brother) which ranges from classic suit to experimental polo pants. Let u have a look at the list.
1. Classic Suit look –
Nothing beats the classic! A well tailored suit for the handsome brother of the bride and groom is seriously unmatchable. If the wedding is a morning occasion, try the soothing colors like sky blue and white with perfectly gelled hair. For the night occasion, one can opt for black textured satin, perhaps, with a shawl collar and flapless pockets.
One of the newest and catchy trends for the wedding attire for men is the – Bandhgala Suit. It is a classic combo of westerns and traditional attire and also help the man attain that look with ease. You can choose any luxurious fabric with the embellishment of your choice or even go for sleek black one. It goes great with the traditional and festive atmosphere at the Indian wedding.
3. Sherwani
Sherwani is probably the easiest pick for the Bride’s/Groom’s Brother. If you are absolutely short on time or you don’t want to experiment at all, this is the best option to choose from. There are various designs of sherwani available for men in the Indian market. One can surely look super stylish by accessorizing the outfit. You can add a turban with dupatta, belts, embellishment or even jewellery or multi-string pearl neckpiece. This will definitely add a royal touch.
4. Nehru Jacket
Nehru jackets with kurtas have become one of the hottest trends for men. This wedding outfit can be easily customized for day or night occasions and one can experiment with fresh and bright colours. You can also opt for various textures, patterns and fabrics. We have seen Bollywood celebrities like Saif Ali Khan, Siddharth Malhotra, etc sporting the Nehru jackets look with such posh and glamour.
5. Kurta Payjama
Kurta Payjama is not new as men’s wedding attire but various cuts, pattern, fabrics have revived the fashion for men. You can opt for dupatta or turban to complete the look. One can choose the fabric and color as per the day or evening wedding.
6. Floral jackets
Who said that floral jackets are only for women? Men can rock the floral jacket look for any wedding occasion. While choosing the floral jacket, keep the length in mind and also the kurta below must be simple. In this way, the embellishments will be nicely balanced and give a stylish look to the brother of bride of bridegroom.
Women are well aware of the ‘palazzo’ outfit but do you know that the men can rock it too for traditional occasions? This is surely a sensational wedding outfit for men and you can mix and match the wear as you like. The palazzo can be teamed up with heavily embellished jacket or kurta on top.
8. Polo pants
Polo pants and bandgala is another classy, stylish and trendy look for men’s wedding attire. In facts, back in the day many rajas and maharajas used to wear polo pants for hunting and other royal occasions. Team up the slightly flared polo pants with a well-fitted or tailored jacket or coat on top. The look is extremely elegant and stylish.
9. Royal Look
I drooled on this look worn by the charming Fawad Khan who walked for Manish Malhotra for the collection inspired by the fabled land of Persia. This look is absolutely resplendent with a long, flowing bandhgala frock-kurta that has every bit of glamour and grandeur, it was paired with a maroon wrapped tunic.
10. Dhoti Pants
Dhoti is one of the most worn traditional Indian wear for men but it’s difficult to carry. Well, we have a solution! The dhoti pants with the flare of dhoti gives you the perfect illusion and can be easily and stylishly paired with bandhgala, kurta, sherwani or Nehru jacket for any wedding occasion.
So all you men out there, what’s your pick? And women, your favourite on men?

Yuana Premium Hair Oil 50ml (Rs.337)

I liked 1-2 shades in particular from the new additions and picked Greige Rage. I quite like this shade and happy with my choice 🙂
Sugar Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick Greige Rage
Mond’Sub Gold Facial Mask looks interesting, I haven’t tried it yet and look forward to trying it out.
Mond’Sub Gold Facial Mask
Rest two are deluxe sized samples, the Kronokare City Detox Face Wash is a repetition which I am not happy with. Yuana Hair Oil looks decent but it has mineral oil in ingredients which I am not too excited about.
The total value of the products in the bag comes to Rs.1236/-
Overall I would say it’s an ok bag. If you are looking to get a new Sugar product anyway, then you can go for it as you get your product plus three additional things. Otherwise you can skip this month’s bag.

RIMMEL LONDON Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer 26 Noir Review, Swatches
By Linda
Hey Ladies,
Hope you all are doing good and gorgeous as always. It’s been a while for me with reviews, caught up with some personal issues. But now I am all ready to bring on all the reviews and products to you lovely ladies .So today’s review is of eyeliner from Rimmel London called Exaggerate Waterproof Eye definer.
Shade 26 Noir (Black). This is my to go eyeliner be it for a Smokey look , regular kajal or eyeliner. So let’s move ahead and find out how this product worked for me.
Product Claims: Glide-on full colour definition Soft creamy texture in a retractable pencil with built-in smudger for subtle blending and sharpener for high precision line. Waterproof formula for up to 10 hours long lasting wear. Choose your shade from creamy matte to high metallic, all so intensely pigmented. Dermatologist & ophthalmologist tested.
Packaging and Texture
I love the packaging of this product .It is a retractable pencil that has a smudger & sharpener on the other end of the pencil. Lightweight can be easily carried in your purse. The cap fits well tightly over the product and the smduger, hence maintaining the product from harsh temperatures and dust particles.
The shade is intense black and the product is soft creamy on application and glides smoothly over the eyelids and waterline.
Cost: Approximately INR 320 [1.500 KWD] for 0.28g
Usage : 30 months after opening
My take on RIMMEL LONDON Exaggerate Waterproof Eye definer:
I’m extremely satisfied with this eyeliner in regards for a daily wear purpose .It glides on smoothly onto to your eyelids and water line without much effort. Multiple swipes are required to attain the intensity of the product. Over the eyelids it finishes to a matte product. It did not irritate my sensitive eyes at all.
I’m a little disappointed in regards to waterproof claim of the product, if you have oily lids it will definitely smudge over your crease line , so it’s best to well prime or rather powder your eye lids to counteract your oily eyelids and avoid further smudging. It did stay put over the waterline through out.
The product can easily come off with an eye makeup remover without damaging you eyelashes. The smudger provided is soft enough to smudge the product over the eyelid (upper and lower) and to achieve a basic smokey look in seconds. I haven’t used the sharpner as yet. Do not retract the product too much as it might break hence waste of product
With this product you can achieve desired lines of thickness. I don’t think it’s is ideal for winged eyeliner since its difficult to achieve neat defined with this eyeliner, probably with the help of an angular brush you can achieve .I love to use it over the waterline as it remains intact for about 3-4 hours.
Pros:
Budget friendly
No eye irritation (can be used along with contact lenses)
Travel friendly
Has smudger and sharpener as well
Well pigmented.
Products last a long way
Cons:
Can smudge a little over oily eyelids
Availability
Not ideal for a winged eyeliner.
Rating: 4/5
Would I recommend RIMMEL LONDON Exaggerate Waterproof Eye definer? Yes!!! For the quality of the product and for provision of a smudger and sharper, it’s worth the buy.
