OOTD: Off Shoulder Black Printed Midi Dress

Hey guys,

Another OOTD, this time from the Andamans, Havelock to be specific. Our hotel Emerald Gecko was at Vijayanagar beach and had this private beach area (which most of the decent hotels in Havelock do). I clicked lots of pics there and the breakfast/dining area was also bang opposite the beach. You just feel like lying there whole day.

I wore this dress on my birthday. I know its too dressy for the beach, but we were heading out and it starts getting dark at Havelock around 4-4.30 and after 5 its like pitch dark. So we clicked the pics before heading out.

I love how this dress fits beautifully and is super comfortable. The off shoulder looks nice and the printed lower half with two pockets also works perfectly, though it looks like a separate top and midi skirt. I paired it with a statement necklace and a statement belt.

With my Daniel Wellington watch and black suede ankle strap wedges. And my favourite MAC Ruby Woo <3

Later we went to Kaala Patthar beach too which was very near to our hotel, we went there two days out of the three we were at Havelock. Kaala Patthar hardly had any crowd and was serene unlike Radhanagar which was quite crowded.

Leave everything behind!

The Mumbai Bride Diaries: Bride in the Making Pics

Hey guys,

Remember I had announced in my previous post that Cory Walia is my Bridal MUA who is a part of Lakme Absolute Bridal Dream Team.

Let me tell you I was very nervous. I thought he would be very moody types or something but I was so so wrong. He was very very sweet and warm. A very down to earth and jovial person. We both are Sagittarians :p We chatted a lot and he made me feel quite comfortable.

Starting with the goof ups, he and his team members Poonam and Priya already reached the venue at 9am even before we reached :/ And I still had to sit for the pre wedding mandva puja which took another 40 minutes or so. We had ample time to get ready so that was not an issue, but still I did not want to make him wait. He was very calm though and had his breakfast peacefully.

Later on when we started with the makeup, my jewellery box went missing. I was going nuts :/ My friends and family took rounds to home to check while all the time it was in the same bag right in front of us and no one could find it :/ Yes, all this usually happens on the day of your wedding. Something similar happened with my bhai’s sherwani on the day of his wedding 😀

Finally we found it, and untill that time we did the basic makeup,etc. Jewellery was required before hair for the maang tikka etc placing.

I also learned some tips and tricks for him. He said I am the first bride he is working on who knows so much about makeup and makeup brands and is so knowledgeable,that he loved doing my makeup 🙂

Here are a few pics of ‘in process’ :p

After the base, Cory used the Lakme Absolute Face Stylist Compact to set the base. He used the Face Stylist Blush Duos and Lakme Eye Quartet.

He made a slight wing with the Lakme Absolute Kohl Ultimate and lined the waterline too with it. (I love it too..was carrying only this liner/kajal for my honeymoon)

A small nazar ka tikka too with the Lakme Absolute Kohl Ultimate.

And last but not the least mascara..

We did not have flowers and Cory wanted to add them to the bun, so he went and got some flowers from the wedding mandap 😀

And with the jewellery..

I will show you the complete look with the two sarees and the dupatta and more pics with him in the next post 🙂

OOTD: On the Streets of Hong Kong (Lavender Sweater, Pastel Blue Blazer)

Hey guys,

Finally I am resuming work slowly. Still settling down though,hopefully in a week or so I would be back to my regular posting. For now, here is one of my outfit posts on the streets of Hong Kong.

These shots are taken on the road below our hotel, at The Sky Terrace i.e. the highest point of Hong Kong and Madam Tussauds 😀 It was super fun clicking pics with few of the wax statues.

It was around 12-13 degrees there with cold breeze which was slightly intolerable for me. I needed layering and this sweater + light blazer was the perfect combo to keep me warm. Everyone in general in Hong Kong and Macau wore sweaters/jackets/trench coats/sweat shirts or some or the other kind of layering.

I accessorized with a pearl and spiked bracelet which I more or less was stuck to on most of the days since it looked good and worked with everything 😀 A classic Daniel Wellington Watch and a neon diamante statement necklace.

Since we walked a lot, I chose flats on most of the days and these mint Bata slip ons (shown HERE) stayed with me on all the days. They were so so comfortable, I cam back to these after trying 1-2 others in between.

I loved the pastel on pastel combo and the neon necklace and the bright lipstick adds a pop to the outfit. The blazer is cotton chambray and super light and comfortable, still keeps you warm and the folded floral sleeves look so chic!

I am a wax statue 😀

Sweater: Romwe
Blazer: StalkBuyLove
Statement Necklace: Shown HERE
Shoes: Bata
Watch: Daniel Wellington

On Lips: L’Oreal Paris Infallible Lipstick Always Apricot

I hope you liked the pictures and the outfit. These are taken with my new DSLR baby and I so so loved some of the clicks. Still a novice and trying to learn, hopefully I can be a little better with it 🙂 I will include more Madam Tussauds pics in a separate post later 😀 (wait for those)

We don’t use photocopiers, We use Xerox. We do not use disinfectants, We use Dettol. Dettol is what we used when our knees bled as kids. Dettol is what we used when we got any scratches and bruises. Dettol disinfectants, handwash,sanitizers and soaps are a regular feature in our homes.

The product details are as follows:

Prima facie, these wipes are a must-have for kids and pets. However, there is more to these wipes than meets the eye.

Pros:

1) Light, easy to carry around and fits in your handbag.
2) Being pH Neutral, it moisturizes the skin and does not leave it dry.
3) Alcohol free, hence gentle on skin.
4) Can be used for everything, hands, face, surfaces, etc.
5) Use it on the go. In car, in your office, carry for your vacation, picnics, etc.
6) Works for removing light, basic makeup too.

Cons:

1) Slightly expensive.
2) It would have been better if it had individual packaging inside which would have made it more travel friendly.

Overall, I would say it’s a Swiss Army knife in the world of hygiene and a must have in your household. It’s a staple in my handbag right now and I am definitely repurchasing it. The pack of 10’s is good for carrying in the handbag. It would be ideal for Mumbai’s sweltering summers.

Kaya Insta – Brightening Micro Mask Review

Kaya Insta – Brightening Micro Mask Review

What the Company claims: Insta Brightening Micro-Mask is a light silky gel, transparent rinse-off mask with a unique combination of botanical extracts of Scutellaria Baicalensis, White Mulberry, Saxifraga Sarmentosa and Grape that work together to give you visibly brighter and radiant skin in just 20 minutes. The unique Micropatch technology releases the whitening active into the skin even long after the mask has been removed.

MRP: Rs.1800/- for 15 ml

Ingredients : Aqua, Saxifraga Sarmentosa Extract, Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract, Butylene Glycol, Morus Bombycis Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Disodium Sulfite, Sodium Metabisulfite, Pueraria Lobata Raat Extract, Methyparaben, Algin, 2-Phenoxyethanol, Acacia Senegal Gum, Xanthan Gum

How to Use – Apply generously over entire face and neck post cleansing. Leave it on for 20 Minutes and then rinse with water.

It comes in a white pump packaging with a transparent cap. First of all, the quantity of 18ml is very very less for a mask and at that price point coz you need a good amount to cover your face with a mask completely. And if you use it every alternate day, this would hardly last a month or so.

Its a thin gel form, which spreads easily all over the face. There is no stretchiness and its not those clay based like masks. It has a terrible smell! And to bear it for 20-25 minutes is also a pain.

It claims to give visibly brighter and radiant skin within 20 minutes. I have been using it for more than 2 weeks now, but do not see any such difference. It just refreshes the skin and gives the softer, smoother feel which most masks give. But no radiant skin as such.

Its expensive and I did not notice any breathtaking results. It worked like a pretty basic mask for me.Would not really recommend.

Rating: 2/5

Faces Canada Ultime Pro Lip Creme Review,Swatches

What the Company claims: ULTIME PRO LIP CRÈME is an absolutely super soft, smooth and moisturizing lipgloss that promises one stroke hi shine coverage. It is completely opaque, highly pigmented, does not transfer, bleed or feather and stays on for hours at a stretch. Inspired by the colors of mesmerizing cocktails, LIP CRÈME gives you the color intensity of the lipstick and luster of a gloss.This non-sticky LIP CREME comes with a doe-foot sponge applicator. It picks up the right quantity of the product.

MRP: Rs.649/- for 4.6ml

Shades Available: 6

  • Fuchsia Sparkler
  • Grape Martini
  • Hawaian Orange
  • Red Mary
  • Nude Mojito
  • Pinka Colada

Ingredients:

I am reviewing the shades Fuchsia Sparkler and Grape Martini today. It comes in a normal transparent round gloss packaging with a doe foot applicator.

Its like a liquid lipstick in texture. Super pigmented and rich, you need just one-two swipes for complete opaque color. It gives a glossy look which goes away after some time and the color stays on for 2-3 hours after which it fades away evenly. Its hydrating and does not require separate lip balm, non sticky and feels very light on the lips.

Fuchsia Sparkler is a bright fuchsia pink.

Grape Martini is a gorgeous grape color. (nothing like this in my stash) Unique and pretty.

So the pinks,reds and nudes might be common shades, I definitely suggest getting this for Grape Martini. I haven’t seen Hawaian Orange but that sounds good too.

Top- Fuchsia Sparkler, Bottom- Grape Martini

These are travel friendly too. Also the quantity is superb, though the price is slightly higher. I wish all brands came up with half quantity and price and mini versions, so that we can try to finish the products too,which usually never happens!

Left- Fuchsia Sparkler, Right- Grape Martini

Overall, I love the shade Grape Martini. I like the pigmentation and ease of use of these Lip Cremes. These are indeed like rich,creamy liquid lipsticks. Though the staying power is normal, you can reapply them anywhere with ease. Definitely recommend!

It does not leave a sticky,slimy feeling and does not dehydrate the skin too. The texture is just perfect. It helps exfoliating some ingrowth hair on the legs, etc. (not the deep ones though)

Overall, its a decent body scrub and I quite like it. Recommended

Darkened Summer
Somewhere between dusk and dawn, there is a sky full of magic and myriad hues, capturing this essence.“Darkened Summer” is a Limited Edition range of ‘Fluid Sand Nail Lacquer Minis’ and ‘Matte Touch Lipstick’. A dazzling combination of deep shades and bright feelings have been put together in this range.

Incredibly wearable yet absolutely matte.

MRP: Rs.475/- for 4.2g

Shades Available:

  • Celebrity
  • Brown Rush
  • Wild Mauve
  • Earthy Brown
  • Legendary
  • Peach Life

Well the time where brands are keeping on increasing their prices and lowering the quantity of lipsticks from 4.2 to 3 and 2.5g, I am happy that we have Colorbar with a reasonable tag of 475 and the old huge qty of 4.2g! Yay 😀 We want more of these Colorbar! Are you listening? :p

I am reviewing the shades 42MPeach Life and 39MWild Mauve.

Coming to the lipstick, its a part of the Matte Touch Lipsticks range. Its the silver colored packaging with a different shape of bullet, I quite like the shape 😀

These are matte but not completely crayon matte, still creamy and hydrating. Rich pigmentation especially the darker shade. You just need 2 swipes for full,opaque coverage. These stay for 3-4 hours and the Wild Mauve for 4-5 hours without much eating or drinking.

Peach Life is a medium true peach shade.

Wild Mauve is a deep,rich pink based purple. Some felt its a dupe of MAC Rebel but that is more on the pink side and this on the purple. Its a very unique and a fabulous shade. Perfect for fall/winter and a must have shade in your stash! Also wore it HERE.

Here are the swatches..

And here are they on moi..

Overall I would say these are perfect value for money. Good in quality,quantity,economical,well pigmented. I absolutely recommend the shade Wild Mauve. Would love to have more such unique shades in this collection.
