Auravedic Pure Lightening Skin Polish with Sandal Turmeric, Pure Aloe Vera Gel with Green Tea & Pomegranate Review
These reviews have been long long pending..really sorry for that.What the Company claims: Auravedic Pure Lightening Skin Polish with Sandal Turmeric is a delicious skin polish that fortifies the skin with fruit acids and essential vitamins. Buff away dead cells to unveil smooth, supple and bright skin.

Turmeric blended with red sandal and jojoba beads helps improve overall skin with age spots, hyper pigmentation, uneven skin tone and sun discoloration.

(Suitable for all skin types .Specially beneficial for pigmented and uneven skins.)

Ingredients:

Directions: Scoop on to fingertips and gently massage over moist skin. Leave polish on skin for a few minutes before gently wiping it off with a cotton ball. Can wash off if required

MRP: Rs.300/- for 100g & Rs.180/- for 50g

It comes in a plastic jar packaging..with a cap in between..is light berry in color..and more of a creamy scrub..the particles are not that abrasive..

How I use it, is like a normal scrub..massage on moist face..leave it for about 5 minutes and then wash off..

I like the fact that it works as a scrub cum pack..and has sandal and turmeric as main ingredients which are known for cooling and brightening the skin..and turmeric is also anti bacterial making it good for acne prone skin..I would only suggest to massage very lightly if you have fresh acne..

No SLS, no parabens..and made of herbal ingredients..its quite good..skin feels smooth and brightened..though the glow lasts for a day or two..

I feel it should have been priced a little lower..and availability is also an issue with Auravedic..see where all its available HERE

Also available online on various sites..and that too on a discount..if you are an online shopper.

Auravedic Pure Aloe Vera Gel with Green Tea & Pomegranate

What the Company claims: Made from 100% Pure Aloe Vera Gel, with out all the chemicals! This pure aloe is an instant One of nature’s most effective skin conditioners, aloe soothes and hydrates dry, rough & sun burned skin on contact.

Apply regularly and generously to skin to soothe minor burns, sun burns, cuts, bug bites and stings. Ideal for use as a daily moisturizer, hair styling gel and shaving gel.
Come experience 100% purity with Auravedic.

MRP: Rs.225/- for 100g

Ingredients: Aloe Vera extracts, green tea, pomegranate oil, tea germ oil, avocado oil, avocado oil, olive oil, grape seed oil and lemon oil.

It comes in a small plastic jar with a white lid in between to separate…and is off white gel like in texture and smells a mix of aloevera and lemon oil..

Aloe Vera gel is very handy and a must have..super cooling, works as a toner, cools your skin in summers, helps post waxing or sun burns, rashes, cuts, also on nails to moisturise and strengthen them, etc.

This one has added pure essential oils ands smells good too..I just use it as a moisturiser at times when I do not want anything heavy on the face..

This absorbs quick and does not settle like a slick layer..and also works post waxing or threading to soothe the skin.

They also recommend using it as hair styling or shaving gel..quite a multi tasker this is..plus all natural…with no added preservatives or chemicals..

I highly recommend keeping one of this at home..for not only yourself..can be used by everyone.

The Mumbai Bride Diaries: Engagement Jewellery and Shoes
Check out my previous post to see my outfit HERE and the mehendi and manicure,pedicure post HERE.

Today I am talking about jewellery and shoes.. Coming to the jewellery,what all can be worn as a part of jewellery:

1. Set consisting of necklace and earrings: A basic set which complements the outfit..you can go heavy or light depending on your preference..I wanted something light..and a maang tikka can also form a part of the set.

2. Matching Set of Bangles: You can either go for kadas if you do not want to wear whole set of bangles..or a set of bangles..any shop stocking bangles would customise it according to your outfit..you can ofcourse make changes in it as per your liking.

3. Kamar patta or Waist Belt: I wanted to add one..but did not find anything appropriate so skipped it..you can definitely wear it if you find something good..that works well with your outfit too.

4. Latkans : These days the latkans are quite in..ya the same ones which we have in our anarkalis and blouses on the back..we can also wear them on the sides of the waist across the saris or lehengas..you can combine a few different ones and mix and match.

5. Baju Band or Armlet : One can also add baju band on the upper arm..especially if your outfit is sleeveless or has very short sleeves..looks pretty..

6. Payal or Anklets: Kundan payal looks great and would match most of the Indian outfits..you can find so many designs of it these days.

I wore a simple gold set with some silver accents and diamonds in between and blue droppings and only the earrings..skipped the maang tikka as I wanted a light look..one can always add a maang tikka too.

Matching set of bangles to the outfit.

Stiff Kundan Payal..they have this oblong shape..and have a key lock..

Shoes : I chose these Catwalk shoes with gold motifs and pearl and diamonds on the front..same shoes were available in 2 inches more heel but with a broader band at the front..I needed heels coz fiancee is 6’3” :/ And I did buy those, somehow the transaction failed and since it was only one pair left, it was showing Out of Stock then..and later when I checked I guess it was already sold out..though I liked this smaller band more..but heels also were less in these..nonetheless I felt they looked perfect with the outfit..I bought these online from Jabong.

Places to shop for..I knew which is the best place in my area for the jewellery and bangles and so was found it there..so I checked out many shops for the set and did not like it much anywhere or did not find something that would compliment the outfit well..I would suggest first checking out your local famous shops, then online and also compare prices..I liked a few on Homeshop18, Craftsvilla, etc..But checking out and trying personally is what is recommended..

In Mumbai..you can check out Magic Mirror in Matunga and Santacruz, Sia outlets, shops in Bhuleshwar for artificial jewellery..for real gold and diamonds I would recommend going to your trusted family jeweller..I like diamonds from Manubhai Jewellers in Borivali and Ghatkopar…my engagement ring is also from there.

Hope you liked the post..if you still have any doubts or need any help, shoot me an email at bhumika_thakkar@yahoo.co.uk and I would be ready to help..

The Body Shop Color Crush Eyeshadows Brownie & Clyde, Moonlight Kiss Review, Swatches

I had mentioned about my The Body Shop Haul HERE..I am reviewing those two color crush eye shadows today.What the Company claims: An intensely pigmented, eye-shadow with a silky-soft texture. It’s easy to blend and great for building layers of colour. Dermatalogically and Ophthalmologically tested. Suitable for contact lens wearers.

Intense colour
Matte finish
Silky-soft texture
Available in 11 shades.
Use wet or dry

Shades Available: Berry Cheeky, Berry Cute, Blackcurrent Affair, Blue Over You, Moonlight Kiss, Brownie & Clyde, Sugar Glaze, Sand by Me, Chat-Up-Lime, Caramel Flirt, Boyfriend Jeans

MRP: Rs.695/- for 1.5g

This comes in a small single pan plastic packaging..but its quite sturdy and clicks shut…the eyeshadow pan can always be depotted if you wish to..

225 Brownie & Clyde is a pearl finish taupe brown..a perfect everyday neutral shade..you can wear to work..and add some smokiness or smudge a kohl beneath for turning it to a night look..

015 Moonlight Kiss is a perfect matte black..super duper pigmented..and stays for hours..no fall outs, no creasing..

Why a perfect matte black eye shadow is an absolute necessity in your makeup kit ?

  • For black smokey eyes ofcourse
  • For any smokey eyes..to intensify the smokiness in the outer corners.
  • To be used as a liner…with a slanted angular brush
  • To set your kohl and make it stay all day..just use a cotton bud and dip into your matte black eyeshadow and layer the kohl with it..this would absorb the moisture and kohl stays longer.
  • For easy soft smokey eyes, just smudge some kohl and a matte black eyeshadow lightly.

These are silky smooth in texture and super duper pigmented..especially the Moonlight Kiss..do not crease and stay put whole day !

Here are the swatches..

Pros:

1. Super smooth texture.

2. Amazing pigmentation.
3. Does not crease or fade.
4. Stays put whole day.
5. Available in 11 shades.
6. Can be used both wet and dry..and more rich when used wet.

Cons:

1. A little expensive but if I compare them to MAC..these are quite affordable.

Overall I love these..both these shades are my absolute favorites..Sugar Glaze and Caramel Flirt are pretty too..I love taupes so chose Brownie & Clyde..a good everyday neutral and a rich matte black eyeshadow every girl should have and I found my black ! Highly recommend these..Moonlight Kiss is much better in terms of texture and pigmentation compared to MAC Carbon eyeshadow..and both are 1.5g.

Sleek MakeUP Matte Me Rioja Red, Gloss Me Kiss & Tell, Cranberry Crush Review, Swatches

I had mentioned about Sleek MakeUP’s Matte Me and Gloss Me HERE
What the Company claims: With 6 stunning shades to choose from, Sleek MakeUP’s Gloss Me will be the name on everyone’s lips, literally.At last, long lasting lip gloss with plenty colour power as well as staying power is finally here! Strong pigment takes lips from normal to note-worthy in just one slick. The versatile make up bag staple can be layered over lipstick for extra gloss or used alone.
Gloss Me Shades:  Fools Gold, Rosé, Bella of the ball, Kiss & Tell, So Berry and Cranberry Crush
These new lip creams say goodbye to cracked or dull mattes and introduce hydration to the matte world! NEW Sleek MakeUP Matte Me comes in a variety of 6 colours packed with pigment, and full of moisture. Go bold with deep red and purple, or be understated with pink and nude. Alternatively, set your artistic side free and use together to make your own signature shade.No smudging or budging means matte truly is back to stay.

Matte Me Shades: Fandango Purple, Brink Pink, Rioja Red, Party Pink, Petal & Birthday Suit

Gloss Me RRP £4.99 or $6.99 each
Matte Me RRP £4.99 or $6.99 each

Today I am reviewing the shades 438 Kiss & Tell and 439 Cranberry Crush in Gloss Me and 433 Rioja Red in Matte Me

Comes in a regular square transparent gloss packaging with a black cap..has a doe foot applicator.

Kiss & Tell is bright orangey blue toned red with silver bluish shimmer and Cranberry Crush is a sheerer watermelon pink with silver shimmer again.

Rioja Red is a bright blue toned true red.

Gloss Me are loaded with shimmer and sticky in formula..though they stay well and are good in pigmentation..I would say these are like any other normal glosses..nothing too different..

On the other hand, Matte Me are amazing..completely matte but yet non drying, full opaque coverage..and stays well..but ya they do flake a little with eating and drinking and needs to be reapplied…and one has to apply neatly with a brush and work before it sets which is about in a few minutes..


Swatches..my mehendi is peeping in :p

T-B: Rioja Red, Kiss & Tell, Cranberry Crush

Here is it on me..

L-R: Kiss & Tell, Cranberry Crush, Rioja Red

I made the mistake of not using a lip brush for Matte Me..and sorry for the uneven application..I would suggest using a lip brush for Matte Me for a neat, even and proper application..it takes some time to set..but once set is completely matte.

Overall I loved the Matte Me..and found the Gloss Me pretty ok..good in pigmentation and staying power..I would have preferred less stickiness and shimmer though..

Indian designers follow indo-western trends to a great extent and make beautiful outfits to suit different occasions. They have transformed the traditional outfits such as salwar kameez , saree and lehenga and re-invented them with most flattering styles. Their creativity in mixing up traditional and contemporary has coined innovative styles that can easily be fallen in love with.

Being inspired by many such styles, Indian women are not left behind in making fashion statement. They easily carry salwaar with a chic- looking top, pair a kurti with denim, drape saree in the most contemporary style that almost looks like a sophisticated evening dress or don an unusual yet classic combination of blouse and dhoti together.  Among many of these inimitable ensembles, Indo western gown too is making highlights by being one of the most preferred dresses for varied festive occasions. This full-length western gown can be embellished with Indian motif, embroidery patterns and fabrics and is ready to demand much needed attention from women across the globe.

Well, there seems to be no end to these indo-western creative combinations, as long as one has a knack of experimenting with bold looking styles; and ready to explore much more from the fashion secrets.

First of all thank you so much for all the wishes on this post and on facebook and mails..I am overwhelmed 🙂 Thanks a lot..

Coming to the review of the newly launched Maybelline Bold Matte Lipstick..
What the Company claims: Hydrating matte with honey nectar
o Moisturising agents like rosa canina oil and jojoba oil
o Powderless matte pigments ensure true vivid shades

5 trendy vibrant shades in a brilliant matte texture

Read more HERE

MRP: Rs.375/- for 3.9g

Ingredients:

It comes in the normal silver Colorsensational packaging but with a sheer red cap..has a fruity watermelon smell..

But first thing to be noticed is, its not matte ! I am not aware why these are claimed to be matter..these are quite creamy and glossy..super pigmentation..these can be builded to a super opaque color..and I love the staying power !! It stays for almost 5-6 hours and then leaves behind a nice coral pink stain.

Mat 2 is a reddish peachy coral..but not neonish or in your face..I love how it makes my teeth looks white and brightens my whole face instantly..I can easily skip a lip balm too with this..coz its quite moisturising..

Here is it on me..please excuse me dry lips..I have to speak whole day since I teach and its taking a toll on me of late :/

Pros:

1. Super pigmented.
2. Comes in 5 bright shades.
3. Moisturising…I do see jojoba oil, etc on the ingredients list..
4. Has a glossy finish which settles for a slightly semi matte one later.
5. Love the staying power..stays for 5-6 hours and leaves behind a pretty stain.
6. I like how the color flatters my skin tone and brightens my face and smile..a perfect reddish coral.
7. Economical.

Cons:

1. Claimed as matte..its not matte.
2. Not transfer proof.
3. I would have preferred different colored caps to distinguish the shades and also giving them names would have been better instead of mat1, mat2, etc

Overall I love them as lipsticks and totally love the shade..if it were not claimed as matte..then it would have been better. Checking out the red and pink too.

If you like bright, long staying yet moisturising lipsticks, you will surely love these. But if you were expecting these to be matte, then skip it.
