I love cream eyeshadows and when Oriflame came up with these The ONE Range of cream eyeshadows, I knew I had to try them. Cream eyeshadows are easy and quick to use and my savior when I am in a hurry which is a majority of the times.
They come in a small pot jar with a purple color lid. The jar is quite sturdy and would not break as such.
The texture is rich and creamy and the cream finish is super easy to use and blend and it sets within 1-2 minutes to a pigmented powder form. So one needs to layer and blend quickly. Darker shades are quite pigmented especially the brown, Plum and Steel however need some layering.
They stay for 6-7 hours with minimal creasing or fading. It does start fading later on, but with a good primer can stay even longer.
You would need a good waterproof makeup remover to remove these completely.
Golden Brown is a rich chocolate brown with gold shimmer
Shimmering Steel is a light steel grey with silver shimmer
Intense Plum is bluish purple with silver shimmer
I think these are just perfect to use when you are in a hurry, just blend, layer and set and you are good to go for the day. I love the golden brown especially since it is very versatile and would go with many outfits on different occasions. Shimmering Steel is perfect for soft smokey eyes and Intense Plum with some of your blue, purple toned Indian wear!
I absolutely recommend them. For their price point, they are quite a steal. Only issue with Oriflame would be the availability as you would need to order them though reps.

Have you tried the new Oriflame The ONE Colour Impact Cream Eyeshadows?
This is a random OOTD I had to show you guys. I got this pretty pink evening gown from Buyingdress and I paired it with my highest heels coz obviously this gown is long. The heels are 6 inches 😀 I am glad there is platform of 2 inches which makes them comfortable and also they are very light weight.
I love the nude color, strappy design and the tassels behind.
Also the gown has this nice silver detailing on the neck and front, but its not over the top. I wore this diamond in rose gold set along with it and some pearl + diamante bracelets.
Gown: Buyingdress
Shoes: Amiclubwear
Necklace+ Earrings: Wedding Gift 😀
Bracelets: Random
I am back with an OOTD. We went to Ocean Park in Hong Kong which is a must visit. It was amazing, it is so so huge! The rides were fab and we saw dolphins, penguins, seals, walrus, sea lion, birds, giant panda and so many other animals. It was so amazing to watch them play, roam around, jump, etc <3 I got some beautiful shots and videos, would share those in some other post.
This is what I wore to Ocean Park. A pretty simple electric blue belted shift dress with pockets. It was easy going and chic, usually shift dresses have no shape, the inbuilt belt here cinches the waist and makes your figure look more flattering.
I accessorized it with a pearl necklace and my Silvette stone ring. And the Bata floral shoes to complete the look. Since we had to walk a lot, flats were the only option!
From where I stand
Dress: Miss Chase
Shoes: Bata (Shown HERE)
Necklace: W for Woman
Ring: Silvette
Sunnies: Gifted by Rado
Watch: Daniel Wellington
Happy Me 😀The blue indeed stands out!
I hope you liked the outfit.Do let me know in the comments below 🙂

The formula is as smooth and moisturizing as the original Baby Lips. In fact this is slightly more creamier and glossy. I have Pink Shock and Oh! Orange with me.
Pigmentation wise Oh! Orange is not that pigmented and does not show up much on lips but Pink Shock is super! Its a very pretty bright pink,I use it almost everyday. Its my handbag staple and I also carried and used it during my honeymoon.
If you are a daily just a lip balm and kohl person like me, you will love this! Plus it did not re application again and again and kept the lips soft and supple even after it was gone and the tint remains for a long time too!!
L- Oh! Orange, R- Pink Shock
At this price point, something which moisturizes your lips and gives a nice pink color and leaves behind a tint too, I highly recommend this. I haven’t tried the Berry yet but absolutely suggest trying Pink Shock. But do not expect super bright color as shown in the ads or banners 😀

Chambor Moisture Plus Lipstick Hottie Plus Review,Swatches
Guest Post by Nisha
Hi Girls,
How is New Year going on? For me, it started with a bad health but as they say there is always a lipstick to cheer you up on those gloomy days. So today I bring you a pretty pink lipstick from Chambor.
What the Company claims: An innovative “dual action” formula with a nourishing core to hydrate lips and prevent dryness; surrounded by a soft, ultra-moisture colour coating for a smooth, radiant finish.
Today I am reviewing 344 Hottie Plus Chambor Lipstick which I had picked sometime back. I was looking for some nice Pink lipstick and I landed on this one from Chambor. I have always liked their dazzle eyeliners but never tried their lipsticks, so thought of giving this a try. Once I swatched it, I liked the pretty pink shade and thus bought it. It was an impulse buy, but thank god it didn’t disappoint me.
This has a good pigmentation and hence I use it according to the occasion. On days when I want a light sheer finish I swipe it just once and for more prominent effect I go with two swipes.
So I am just listing some reasons below, as to why I like this lipstick
• Nice pink shade
• Pigmentation is good
• Stays for 2/3 hours and then leaves a nice stain
• Formula is creamy and it is quite moisturizing
• Doesn’t settle in fine lines
• Great for regular use
However what I didn’t like about this :
• If you swipe it more, it feels heavy on lips
• I felt it be to slightly overpriced
• Transfers easily
• Packaging is quite old fashioned
Here’s how the shade looks on me and otherwise.
Price: Rs. 645
Rating : 3.8/5
This is a nice pink shade which is good for everyday use. It would be more suitable for girls with fair skin tone. Hope you liked this review. Let me know your thoughts by commenting below. Enjoy the winters and the New Year.

Pre Bridal Services (Body) at Lakme Salon-Review & Experience
Hey guys,
I had got a few of my pre bridal services done at Lakme Salon on 2nd Dec before the wedding. I would be sharing my experience of the same but would divide the same into separate categories such as body,hair, etc for ease and convenience and not make the post too long.
I finished all the services in a day at the Lakme Salon,Bandra since I hardly had time left.
Starting with the body, I got white chocolate wax done. I had tried chocolate wax 1-2 times but never tried white chocolate. They start with a pre wax lotion that removes any body lotion residue, etc which sometimes is a hindrance while waxing.
White Chocolate wax was very very smooth and not at all sticky. It came out super quick with the entire area’s hair removal at once. No going over the area 2-3 times as happens with regular wax at times.
My full hands and legs were done in about 30-40 minutes which was quite quick. They also use a post wax astringent lotion which helps in closing the pores, which is very important for me since I have sensitive skin and open pores gives me bumps and rashes.
Then I went for Body Polishing which is an absolute must try for brides to be. They start with cleansing the body, followed by astringent and exoliating gel.
Since I had got my waxing done just before this treatment, I had to skip exfoliation as my pores were still open. A body scrub made of oats, papaya, etc was then applied on the entire body.
Left- Scrub,Right- Mask
Post cleansing of the scrub, a mask was applied consisting of sandalwood,fuller’s earth (multani mitti),etc with the steam machine on, on each area step by step. And it was kept on for a few minutes and cleansed with normal water later.
Skin felt super soft and smooth. I was so occupied with work on the last few days before the wedding that I hardly got time to look after my body skin. And that I guess would be the common problem with most of the brides. This treatment is perfect coz it compensates for your lost time and takes care of the body skin within an hour.
Highly recommended for brides to be and even for others,you can try it once in a while. Especially if you have ingrowth, etc, this would help exfoliate the skin and help in reducing ingrowth and getting rid of dead skin cells too.

Have you tried Body Polishing/White Chocolate wax at Lakme Salon?
I am sharing the bridal pics in this post today. Check out all the Bridal Diaries updates HERE, more about the Lakme Absolute Bridal Dream Team HERE and announcing Cory Walia as my bridal makeup artist HERE.
After the ‘bride in the making’ pics in the last post, here are the final pictures 🙂
One saree done :p I had to wear 2 sarees and one dupatta and all that jewellery amd manage walking,sitting, etc with that :/
The white saree shown in the above pic on the shoulder is the 2nd saree called the ‘Panetar’. And the dupatta, thank god the dupatta was not huge but still it was heavy.
Done with all three finally.
I loved the makeup! It was subtle and elegant, not overly done. No cakey foundation, the eyes were perfect and he used a burgundy lipstick on me which I never thought would look good on me, but he mixed 1-2 shades and the hint of pink looked nice.
Cory and his team did the hairstyle and jewellery placing also really well. Draping was the toughest coz two sarees were to be draped together where the red gharchoda is the main saree (Some Gujuratis have the panetar as the main saree and wear the gharchoda before the 4th phera) and panetar also goes together. They did it really well. Also they did the crisp gharchoda pleats with the help of a hair straightener! I had read about that tip but never got the chance to try it myself, finally it was tried on me 😀 And it really works in keeping the saree pleats together!!
Some random clicks..

P.S: Its also our one month anniversary in an hour 😀
