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.

2. Bandhgala Semi-formal Suit –

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.

7. Palazzo with Sherwani

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?

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.

Best Off-screen looks of Disha Patani

By Nidhal

Young, vibrant, exuberant, cheerful and a fashionista who exudes the girl-next- door vibe, Disha Patani is a head-turner, period. With an infectious smile, commendable sense of style, feminine aura and oodles of pertness, no wonder she has been catching the eyes of the Fash frat.

Both off-screen and on-screen, her appearances are to look forward to. On that note, let’s feast our eyes to her best off-screen avatars.

1) At the Lakme Fashion Week 2017 – Gracing the ramp with her bubbliness, Disha blended regal with chirpiness as she donned a gorgeous designer Jayanti Reddy’s creation at The Lakmé Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2017. She wore an ink blue lehenga and choli combination that had a cream, polka dot, gotta Patti Dupatta embellished with huge tassels.

2) At the India Couture Week 2017 – Dressed in a glamorous black lehenga as she strutted down the runway for Manav Gangwani at the India Couture Week, Disha Patani looked every inch the diva that she is. A beaming smile and her dainty frame complemented her gorgeous look all the more.

3) At the Big Zee Entertainment Awards – Swathed in a custom Swapnil Shinde gown with rings from Aurelle and bracelet from Gehna at the Big Zee Entertainment Awards 2017, Disha looked stunning. With her lustrous locks blow-dried to perfection, she exuded oomph and how!

4) At IIFA 2017 – The International Indian Film Academy awards 2017 held in New York’s iconic MetLife stadium saw the big-wigs of Tinsel-town paint the town red with their glamorous avatars. Bagging the award for the Best Female Debutante 2017, Disha walked away in a heavily embellished Falguni and Shane Peacock gown accompanied with an angled jewelled necklace.

5) At The Star Screen Awards 2016 – Sporting a green one-shoulder dress by designer Swapnil Shinde during the Star Screen Awards 2016, the MSD Dhoni heroine’s look is the textbook definition of being easy on the eyes despite dolling up! Asymmetrical lines brought a different element to her attire. Side-swept locks and minimal makeup rounded off her red carpet look.

6) During Kung Fu Panda’s promotional event – Eliciting vibrance, zest and sunshine, Disha stepped out in a pretty red floor length anarkali from hot-shot couturier Anita Dongre during one of the promotional legs of her then impending flick – Kung Fu Panda. Keeping the look ornate yet not over the top, it was the gota work which catches eyes and induces a thumbs up from the fashion police.

7) On the ramp for Ritu Kumar at the India Couture Week 2017 – Setting the stage on fire as the show stopper for master designer Ritu Kumar at the India Couture Week 2017, Disha sported a floral sheer maxi with a cascading hem. With tangerine pointed-toe flats, fish net stocking and a stack of stunning bracelets, she let her lush locks loose which further accentuated her baby face. Elegant and feminine in a nutshell!

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.

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.

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.

Faces Ultime Pro Matte Play Eyeliner Black/Blue Review, Swatches

Faces Ultime Pro Matte Play Eyeliner Black/Blue Review, Swatches

Hi guys,

Today I am reviewing my current favourite eyeliners! The new Faces Ultime Pro Matte Play Eyeliners.

Claims: FACES Ultime Pro Matte Play eyeliner has a super long wear with a stay of 17 hours or more, and is quick drying and no transfer eyeliner. Be bold this summer, as the waterproof and sweat proof formula makes you even enjoy the water adventures with ease. The eyeliner, with its easy application, glides lightly over the eyelid, creating precise lines and flawless look. It’s high coverage delivers the deepest pigmented line and impeccable hold. Besides, it is dermatologically and ophthalmologically tested and approved.

MRP: Rs.649/- for black and Rs.699/- for blue

They comes in a sleek, regular eyeliner packaging. I absolutely love the felt tip brush. I only use pen eyeliners because I like the grip and stiffness of them. A soft brush just goes everywhere for a person like me who has shaky hands. And very few liquid eyeliners have felt tip brush, I am so glad this one does!

First of all, the pigmentation is amazing. It’s not watery unlike a few liners which require layers and going over 2-3 times for the eyeliner to show. This shows up in one stroke.

I love the matte look in eyeliners and these dry completely matte. They do not take forever to dry and do not transfer on upper lid, etc.,

These liners have everything I need and look for in eyeliners.

Only con would be they are pricey and not waterproof. I agree they are expensive, but I feel they would last long. These are smudge proof but not water proof, and hence also easy to remove.

The blue one is my favourite, it’s a bright cobalt blue shade and shows up well on the eyes without layering, as mentioned.

I wish they come up with more shades and even metallic colours in the future 🙂 In the exact same packaging and brush though, I love that!

I highly recommend these, my current favourite and maybe Holy Grail soon 😀

I love the metallic turquoise color of the Sugar Nail Paint. The eye cream also sounds good. I am not a fan of shimmery lip balms, so the Tvakh Lip Balm is not something I am very excited about but Tvakh has a lot of good skincare in general, so I might give it a try.

The rose geranium body wash from Seer Secrets smells really good!

Tvakh Lip Plumper does sound good, will definitely try it. Cinnamon does help make lips plump, plus it has argan oil.

For Seasoul lipsticks, I had an option of pick one shade out of 7-8 and I picked this neon purple. I was very tempted to pick the nude one but I have enough nudes and I am into bright shades and purples currently.

The total value of the products in this month’s bag comes to around Rs.1800-1850. I do like the fact that there are 5 full sized products and one deluxe sized sample. But I would liked a variety in brands. Perhaps instead of two lip balms/plumper, one could have been a full sized Neemli face mask/scrub.

Overall it is definitely value for money and if you like trying out new brands, you will like it.

I am also giving away two products from August Fab Bag on my Youtube channel, so check that out 🙂
