Indian weddings are mostly known to be larger than life with all the pomp and show and what makes it even more splendid and magnificent is the perfect destination. India is a country of races and communities and every corner of the nation offers excellent wedding destinations with choices variegating from the wedding beside the pristine white beaches, magnificent forts or the serenity of mountains and rivers.

Every destination is breathtaking and thus the destination of your choice which will make the wedding a cherished event forever etched in your memory. So, to narrow down your lists, here’s the compilation of the list of ten wonderful sites for a Destination Wedding in India.

1. Goa

This is India’s one of the trendiest and splendid location for a destination wedding. If you want the exotic feel of the grand affair with the beauty of pristine beaches, palm trees, mouth-watering sea food, wine, music with serenity and calmness all around, Goa should on top of the list. The dream fairy tale wedding you have been planning with the magnificently decorated beach is surely one of the best things in the world.

Do you remember Kalki Kochelin’s Wedding from the movie Ye Jawani Hai Deewani? Udaipur is one of the finest destinations for Indian wedding. It is known as the “the “Venice of the East” due to its rich heritage, culture and architectural splendour. It is surrounded by lakes on all sides and this romantic destination is perfect for tying the knot. The royal palaces, castles, splendid lakes and sheer beauty of the place will give you the extraordinary fairy-tale wedding one can hope for. The popular venues in Udaipur for weddings are Jag Mandir Palace or the Oberoi- UdaiVilas, Devi Gargh, Fateh Garh Palace, Chunda Palace, Leela Palace Kempinski.

Jaipur is another royal location for destination weddings. This royal capital of Rajasthan is often known as the ‘Pink City’ that offers a mélange of heritage and exquisiteness for all the grandiose marriage celebrations with the authentic ostentatious palaces or erstwhile mansions. The majestic wedding with nothing but be a royal affair with the aristocratic decorations. The best places for the destination wedding will be the Raj Palace, Rambagh Palace, and Jai Mahal Palace. The best time would be early November or late February but make sure you plan everything well in advance.

4. Jodhpur

Jodhpur, serves as the gateway to the mysterious land of boundless sands, is again situated in Rajasthan, which clearly has no earth of exotic and regal destination for the big fat Indian weddings. The grand palaces are great for extravagant weddings in the beautiful ‘blue city’. The beauty, magnificence and sheer royalty of this place is outstanding and a dream destination. The suitable places in Jodhpur will be Ranbanka Palace, Mehrangarh Fort, Umaid Bhavan Palace and Ajit Bhawan. The best time would be September to November. However, do confirm with the venue officials for customizing your wedding package if you are on a budget.

5. Agra

Agra sounds one of most clichéd destinations for wedding but the splendid beauty of the place cant be ignored at all. The place is itself the epitome of love with the beauty of the Taj Mahal and has a touch of historic and ethnic beauty to it. Thus, the opulent and royal wedding ceremony can easily be conducted here with numerous wedding venues. This city has many gigantic hotels and resorts looking across the Taj.

7. Kerala

Kerala, one of the best destinations for wedding, is also commonly known as ‘God’s Own Country’. The serenity of sprawling backwaters and various inland water bodies is the beauty one can crave for. One of the best resorts in India called the The Leela, located at Kovalam, is a perfect pick for destination wedding. Apart from that, there are various beaches, straggling tea gardens of Munnar; or in the heritage building of Kochi fort. The best time to tie the knot in Kerala is from September to March.

8. Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Go a little offbeat and tie the knot amidst the white sand beaches, possibly in an astonishing private resort. The place is surely a paradise with the charm of idyllic beaches and lush green forests. One of the famous places for wedding is the Havelock or the Ross Islands. You can also go for the Munjoh Ocean Resort which is a luxuriant and lavish property that is one of the most remarkable and unique resorts in Havelock. The best time pick would be in winter months.

9. Shimla

If you want a summer wedding yet a comfortable weather to begin with, Shimla is the best place for a destination wedding. The alluring mountains and the delightful city is going to make this memorable event etched in your heart forever. The beauty of tying the knot in a forest guest house or campside with rivers flowing by is going to make the wedding look extraordinary and unconventional. Woodville Palace and Radisson Hotel are some popular venues in Shimla for arranging wedding ceremonies.

10. Rishikesh

Marriage is a holy union to two souls and what place, other than the highly religious place like Rishikesh, can be an option? The pleasing, sacramental and splendid backdrop of the banks of the holy river Ganga in Varanasi or Rishikesh adds devoutness and sanctity to the ceremony. The bets place would be the banks of River Ganges, Ganga Kinare which is a fascinating haven for wedding celebrations. Apart from that, you can also choose The Hotel
Ganga Kinare. Traditional wedding ceremonies are also held under the open skies. October to March would be the best time but make your bookings well in advance.

Oct 2017 Fab Bag Review & Unboxing

Hi guys,

I got the Oct Fab Bag today, ya pretty quick this time and delivery on a Sunday. I did a quick unboxing video too.

The theme for this month is ‘Steal the Limelight’. It’s a gold-copper textured glittery bag, the bag is really nice, I just wish it was little bigger.

MRP: Rs.599/- (Buy HERE)

Products I received:

  • Sugar Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick in 11 Greige Rage (Rs.499)
  • Mond’Sub Gold Facial Mask (Rs.250)
  • Kronokare City Detox Face Wash 30ml (Rs.150)
  • Yuana Premium Hair Oil 50ml (Rs.337)

I had an option to pick one Sugar product from all the Sugar products and shades including the new Creme Lipsticks and the Smudge Me not new 10 shades.

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.

Did you get your October Fab Bag? What did you receive?

Why This Generation Should Experience The New Alternatives to Smoking?

Why This Generation Should Experience The New Alternatives to Smoking?

This generation is all about making a mark, leaving an impact & thus we see the emergence of new trends. I think we are privileged to be a part of this amazing revolution that technology has given us. Be it the huge success of Snapchat or the advent of selfies or the popularity of a Gangnam style! Well, isn’t our generation the quirkiest?

via GIPHY

Another trend which has hit the Indian markets is, E- cigarettes! Just when we thought that there is no substitute to smoking; this generation witnessed an influx of E-Cigarettes and other vaporizers.

Well, this is enough proof that time is flying & technology is changing rapidly. I mean, who would have thought that a funny move in a video on YouTube will become the trend of the decade- Gangnam Style or technology as a major pillar in election campaigns?

Similarly, we have witnessed the evolution of various styles of smoking. It all started with cigars and rolled tobacco. And now it’s time to embrace e-Cigarettes & vaporizers.

Vaping as trend is still at its nascent stage and it is about time that it becomes one of the leading options as the substitute for smoking.  We are a generation that has been spoilt with choices, E- cigarettes & sugar free nicotine chewing gums are only the tip of the iceberg of options for smarter alternatives to smoking.

The fact that vaping & e-cigarettes’ are a smarter alternative to smoking has made millions of health conscious smokers, especially the Millennials, switch to this method which is tar & smoke free.

Smoking puts a financial dent in our lives too. It is no secret that chain smokers spend a good amount every month on cigarettes’, which leads to burning a hole in their pockets. E-Cigarettes like EON are way cheaper than other alternatives available in the market.

So the emerging trends of E-cigarettes, vapors are not only pushing you towards a better life but also towards a better option monetarily.  If we do the math, it’s pretty easy to figure out that the cost of buying cigarettes for daily consumption is way higher than the cost of a vapor or a set of nicotine chewing gums.

The nicotine fixes that a smoker needs is taken care of by all these substitutes and instead of borrowing a light, one can now simply grab an E-Cigarette and inhale vapor with a variety of flavors instead of the smoke from a regular cigarette. Amongst the array of benefits of products like nicotine patches or E-Cigarettes from EON, is that they are now readily available.

Talking about effectiveness, these newly emerged methods are gaining wide appeal. Also, the absence of the multitudes of chemicals and tar makes it technically not smoking, it’s vaping. One does not need to take heed of the ‘no smoking’ signs anywhere as it’s just vapor that is being exhaled and no smoke comes out of it.

The trend is taking over the entire generation that is tech savvy and health conscious and for all the right reasons!

Whether you switch to E-cigarettes’ or vaping or chewing gums, it doesn’t matter as long as you switch. Just switch NOW!

New Sugar Cosmetics Never Say Dry Creme Lipsticks Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

Sugar Cosmetics is back with a new launch, this time creme lipsticks. The classic old lipstick formula, these ones are super creamy and buttery. More like butter than cream, literally 😀

Claims: If you want the best of both worlds and love to have it all, then the SUGAR Never Say Dry Crème Lipstick is made just for you! Intensely pigmented and long-wearing with a baby-soft finish, its creamy texture effortlessly straddles the line between glossy and matte for an easy, everyday look. The high-colour payoff formula is loaded with Vitamin E that locks in both colour and moisture. A roll-on wonder that saves you from the hassle of prepping, priming and lining your lips – it’s all you need to quickly go from ‘Goddamn’ to ‘Goddess’. Free of mineral oil, lanoline and parabens. Full of vibrant colour that you’re sure to swoon over – try it out, today! 

How to Apply: Starting from the center of your upper lip, gently slide the lipstick outward towards the corners while paying attention to fill in the arches carefully. On the lower lip, start at one edge and follow the natural curve. Use a tissue to blot out any excess product. Reapply for a smoother and longer-lasting finish.

Benefits: The SUGAR Never Say Dry Crème Lipstick has a creamy, feather-light texture that spreads evenly on the lips. It glides on smoothly to create full lips with intense colour and rich coverage. Available in 5 vibrant, highly pigmented shades that are sure to become your everyday favourites.

MRP: Rs.499/- for 3.5g (Buy HERE)

GET DISCOUNT USING ‘BTXSUGAR’ on https://in.sugarcosmetics.com

The packaging is exactly like the It’s a Pout Time Vivid Lipsticks. The same black rectangular packaging and the same qty, price is INR 100 less compared to that.

The lipsticks are launched in 5 shades for now, but I am sure they will add more in the future. The formula as I mentioned is super buttery, they melt while applying, so do not swirl up the bullet much, just stay to the tip.

They are not transfer proof, they do transfer a lot but do not vanish from the lips. They are quite pigmented and stay for around 3-4 hours, after which there is fading. But the deeper shades do leave a nice stain behind.

These are very moisturizing and comfortable on the lips, easy to apply, and do not bleed or feather. They are very easy to take off too, unlike matte liquid lipsticks, which are drying and uncomfortable and sometimes peel off the top layer of lips.

L-R: Subtle Island, Dial M for Magenta, The Brown Ultimatum, Revolutionary Rose, Berry Maguire

Subtle Island is described as Muted Brownish Pink. It’s an everyday wear MLBB shade for fair to medium skintones.

Dial M for Magenta is a deep magenta purple. Again a nice purple pink, would work for all skintones.

The Brown Ultimatum is a nude brown, for fair to medium skintones

Revolutionary Rose is a rosy pink, would work for all skintones. My favourite out of the lot.

Berry Maguire is a deep berry red, a nice muted berry, would work for all skintones.

Here are the swatches on me..

I hope you liked the post, do let me know your favourites in the comments below. I believe one shade option would be available in the next Fab Bag 🙂 Guessing for now :p

Have you tried the new Sugar Never Say Dry Creme Lipsticks?

Nykaa Matteilicious Lip Crayons Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

Today I am reviewing the 8 new shades added in the Nykaa Matteilicious Range, since I had not tried it before, I have also included a review.

Claims: Game, Set, Matte! Fall mattely in love with our Nykaa Matteilicious Crayons. These lip crayons boasts a remarkable formula that pushes the boundaries of color intensity with an extreme matte formula. This supreme formula glides on your lips effortlessly giving you that matte finish that you’ve always craved for!

  • Extreme matte finish
  • No feathering
  • One stroke application
  • Super long-wearing
  • Glides on effortlessly
  • Comfortable on lips

MRP: Rs.650/- for 2.8g

Shades Available:

  • Hot As Red
  • Next Level Nude
  • Pink on Fleek
  • Perfect Plum
  • Kiss N Tell
  • Purple Punk
  • Fired Up
  • Lacy Luck
  • Jade Rose
  • Mocha Sin
  • Twilight Dreams
  • Call Me Scarlet

They come in a standard lip crayon packaging, the difference between these and the Pout Perfect ones in terms of packaging is that Pout Perfect has a matching colour cap according to shade while this only has the bottom colour coded with a black cap and Pout Perfect doesn’t come with a sharpener, you need to buy it separately and this one does.

They have a smooth, velvet finish and glide on effortlessly as claimed. They have a velvet matte finish and are very comfortable on the lips. Everything as per claims.

These are not transfer proof and stay for about 5-6 hours without eating or drinking. These do not emphasize dry lips or fine lines, however you would need exfoliated lips before wearing these like any matte lipstick.

L-R: Kiss N Tell, Purple Punk, Fired Up, Lacy Luck, Jade Rose, Mocha Sin, Twilight Dreams, Call Me Scarlet

I have swatched all the new 8 shades here.

Kiss N Tell is a cool toned apple red, very flattering on all skin tones. I absolutely love this red on me.

Purple Punk is an aubergine purple, but this one is not super opaque like the rest. Slightly patchy

Fired Up is a bright tangerine orange, kind of patchy. Mostly such bright oranges are patchy across brands, I guess it’s the colour pigment.

Lacy Luck is a neutral brown, an everyday wear shade, would work for fair to medium skin tones

Jade Rose is my absolute favourite, a pink brown. It would work for all skin tones, an MLBB for deeper skin tones.

Mocha Sin is a very cool toned grey brown.

Twilight Dreams is another favourite, a deep berry brown shade without red undertones. A perfect fall shade.

Call Me Scarlet is a warm toned red, again suitable for all skin tones.

Apart from the light neutrals, all shades would work across skin tones. And I am glad they launched an interesting mix of shades.

My favourites are Lacy Luck, Jade Rose and Twilight Dreams. Also both the reds are quite pretty, and a matte red lipstick never goes out of trend.

Overall, I do like the lipsticks. Formula is great, shades are nice, very comfortable on the lips. I do recommend these.

New Launch: Morphy Richards’ Global Range #ConversationStarters

Hi guys,

Few days ago I attended the Morphy Richards’ new launch in India. They brought their global range of products in India.

Prism collection

Morphy Richards is a premium kitchen and home appliances brand. They launched their global range i.e. Redefine, Prism and Total Control. Morphy Richards is known for their smart technology and innovative designs.

Mr. Shekhar Bajaj, MD, Bajaj Electricals and Mr. Anant Bajaj, JMD, Bajaj Electricals presented the new Morphy Richards range to the press and media.

Redefine

Redefine is the new premium, highly innovative product group by Morphy Richards. Driven by principles of innovation and providing exceptional quality, the range is designed to fulfil your need for brilliantly performing products that have equal aesthetic prowess. The USP of the range is the Intelligent ThermoGlass technology that allows you to clearly see your bread being toasted/water being boiled to perfection. I absolutely loved the see through toaster, it definitely is a conversation starter at your home 😀

Prism

Prism collection is a leading iconic design piece for those who do not worry about going against the crowd. The USP of the range is the most striking design with textured finish and vibrant colors and design which is sure to make a statement in your kitchen. Prism collection has to be my favourite in terms of looks. Bright yellow and red toasters and kettles can make any kitchen look strikingly beautiful!

Total Control

The smartest amongst the lot is the Total Control Collection which has a range of products enabling you to prepare food just the way you like it. It uses Smart Response Technology which intelligently controls the motor in a variety of ways, providing the right level of power regardless of the mixture. It will enable you to effortlessly prepare everything from soups and sauces, pestos and cakes delivering exactly the right amount of power as and when you need it. Total Control range is quite multi-functional, one device can be used for a number of uses and for making varied dishes.

All the devices were presented beautifully with the yummy food around and we clicked number of pictures. The whole set up was beautiful!

We also saw Chef Rushina Ghildiyal use all of the appliances in a demo later on. From the soup maker to the stand mixer, toaster, kettle and the table blender (which you do not need to hold from the top, it’s hands free!) The best part about the toaster is that you can do 4 slices together and each side i.e. 2 can be kept at a different setting according to how you like your toast, light or crisp. The stand mixer for dough and soup maker are also very time saving, as you just add in the ingredients, set the time and go about finishing your other work.

We were divided into two teams and we used the appliances ourselves and had 3-4 different activities to do. Beating eggs, making mocktails and smoothies, toasting bread, we did it all. Our team won 😀

Priced between Rs. 6,000 to Rs. 30,000 these products will be made available in the Indian market starting first week of September. They are available for pre-order already.

I am definitely looking forward to it. What about you? Did you like the range? Let me know your favourite in the comments below.

Top 10 MAC Eye shadows for Indian Skin Tones | Indian Bridal Makeup Kit

Hi guys,

I have been planning to write this post since a long time. I wanted to jot down my favourite and best MAC eye shadows, which are an absolute must have in your kit. If you a bride-to-be or just a new makeup artist, I would definitely recommend starting with these 10 at first as they are a must have!

1. MAC Bronze eye shadow

This is my favourite eye shadow in MAC. I believe they had discontinued it in between for some time, now they have launched it again as a part of the MACxMickeyContractor collection and now it should remain permanent I guess. It is one shadow that can help you create a bronze smokey eye in a minute. You won’t need any other shadow except this and your kohl. That’s it. It works for weddings, parties, everywhere. Highly recommend this!

2. MAC Expensive pink eye shadow

Now this shade works really well on Indian skin tones. It’s a perfect peachy pink mixed with gold. It goes with every Indian ethnic outfit, especially day time functions. It gives a nice wash of colour on the lids, you can just blend it with a basic brown in the crease and you are good to go. Love this shade!

3. MAC Goldmine

Goldmine is a true warm yellow gold. If you have a lot of gold in your outfits, then this one is great to pair them with.

4. MAC Antiqued

Antiqued is a medium reddish brown with warm undertones. Again a shade you can do an entire look with on it’s own. And perfect for Indian ethnic wear.

5. MAC Embark

It is a deep matte brown. It’s a perfect outer V colour to create that smokey effect and define the eyes. It can also be used to fill in eyebrows for Indian skin tones.

6. MAC Sketch eye shadow

This is a deep burgundy plum shade, perfect for night time and receptions/wedding parties. You can create a gorgeous plum smokey eye with this one.

7. MAC Woodwinked eye shadow

Woodwinked is another light gold bronze that is a must have, and perfect for brides/bridal kit/weddings. A soft wash of colour on entire lid or as a center colour for halo effect with Fix+. This one is light compared to Bronze and you can pull it off easily, even if you are new to eye shadows.

8. MAC Satin Taupe eye shadow

It’s an everyday taupe shade with a satin finish. A perfect day time colour, you can wear it for work too if you like a wash of taupe on the eyes. A basic, everyday wear shade, that’s too not OTT.

9. MAC Amber Lights eye shadow

Again a gold copper with orange undertones. A beautiful shade to pair with Indian ethnic wear and perfect for brides/weddings.

10. MAC Ricepaper eye shadow

This is one highlight colour that you need in your kit. Whether highlighting the brow bone or inner corners of the eyes, this one will work with all eye shadow looks

I will cheat and add one more, MAC Soft Brown. You need this for blending in shadows in the crease as a transitional shade.

I hope you liked this list, if you are looking for investing in MAC eye shadows, I would definitely recommend starting with these. Also let me know if you would like a similar list for Inglot, as Inglot has many dupes of MAC 😉
