OOTD: Gray Fuchsia Glitter Saree (Imaginary Red Carpet ?)
Hey everyone,
I am back with an OOTD..this time a saree! I have done one in an yellow saree long back HERE.
This time its a beautiful gray and fuchsia pink saree with a heavy glitter border..this is so perfect for parties, receptions,etc..
Its from TriveniSarees.com. They have an amazing collection of sarees, salwar kameez, lehengas and even jewellery and accessories. They have also brought a few designers on board..so you see designer wear too..and not only that, you have mens wear, kids wear and bed linen too..its like a one stop shop..good for brides too..perfect trousseau shopping place..this saree is also going to be a part of my trousseau. They also have plain brocade and digital print material which they sell per metre. They do the fall edging of the saree for free..and you can buy a standard cotton petticoat along for Rs.150 extra and get the blouse stitched for Rs.600 extra. And if you are the types who have difficulty wearing a saree, you can get the saree prestitched and the stitched blouse both for Rs.1000 extra. You just need to slip into the saree 😀 Cool, is’nt it ?
And the blouse is a normal silver one..which I got designed by my tailor..the design turned out good but not the fit :/ :Sigh: These tailors!
I paired it with silver mesh earrings and a simple gold and silver kada any my Titan Raga watch..And and my hot pink Valentino dupes!! OMG I can’t describe how high the heel is..killing feet literally..how do models walk in them is a big mystery to me! :/
Coming to the makeup, I used the new L’oreal Paris L’Or Lumiere Collection (read HERE) which consists of new Gel Matic Eye Pencils and Moist Mat Lipsticks. I have used the Gel Matic in Turbo Turquoise (other 4 shades in this range are Deep Brown, Silver Mania, Glamor Gold and Blue Force) and the Moist Mat Lipstick in Flaming Kiss here (Lincoln Rose, Glamour Fuchsia and Raspberry Syrup are my other favorites from this range..supposedly Aishwarya Rai wore Lincoln Rose with her first golden Roberto Cavalli gown at the Cannes 2014).
The Gel Matic Pencil in Turbo Turquoise is quite a nice vibrant turquoise shade..and glides on smooth too, was very easy to apply and it stayed put on the upper lashline throughout the day and was difficult to remove too..but does not stay long on the waterline.
Moist Mat Lipstick in Flaming Kiss is a reddish orange..not too ‘in your face’ kinda bright..but very wearable one..I loved it! Its super pigmented and goes full out in one swipe. Though it stays 3-4 hours and with eating and drinking about 2 hours. But, easy to reapply,no patchiness or dry lines.
I used a satin taupe eyeshadow on the eyes and lined my upper lashline and half the lower lashline with the Gel Matic in Turquoise and the Flaming Kiss Lipstick.
Please excuse my hair..I know they look weird here :/
Sorry for the changes in lighting..the sun was dancing..and also if you feel my foundation is lighter, let me tell you its not. My neck and body and slightly face too have turned darker..I got badly tanned..and 4 shades darker at the Beauty and the Blogger show..and trying to get rid of the tan..but I guess it would take some time..
#DovePlay Experience and Dove Intense Repair Range
So as you guys know Dove and Indiblogger together came up with this super interesting meet for all female bloggers last Sunday at JW Marriott, Mumbai..and there were bloggers flown down from Delhi, Pune, Kolkotta, Bangalore, etc..so we got a chance to meet and greet all thanks to Dove and Indiblogger.
Having attended 100’s of events till now, let me tell you, I was expecting the same usual thing and nothing different..I was in for a shock! And how!
This was the most interesting, unique and amazing event/meet I had been to ever!
Everyone registered first and got the badges and route maps and team numbers..we were served some yummy snacks and desserts for the high tea.
RegistrationsMe with Suma and Jyo
First of, there were around 150+ girls all dressed in white..and we were divided into 10-11 teams. I was in Team 4. We all decided our team names first..we went with the name ‘Curls’. Not all of us knew everyone in the team too. So, there was this fun activity where half of the girls stand inside and half outside and make a circle facing each other..and turn in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction whenever the music starts and stop at whichever places they are facing their partners when the music stops. We were made to introduce each other, dance, do the bird dance, do a funny handshake, give each other a compliment, act a smiley we were given, etc..this helped all of us know each and every member of our team! Fabulous idea!
Circles for IntroductionBirdie Dance :p
They also had a fun twitter thing in between like who tweets the most, who updates the most and getting a picture with someone from Dove.(I did manage to get a pic! :p)
Next, was a super fun and amazing 10-15 minutes zumba session.That, I feel, was the highlight of the day. We all danced our hearts away..like crazy.
The Best Part- Zumba
Then we were supposed to play few games like Have A Ball, Jigsaw Puzzle, Play with your hair and Hoola Hoop. Also, our bags were kept safely with your name tags while we have a ball and enjoy.
We were divided into 5-5 each for Have a Ball..where there was this huge inflatable bouncer filled with different colored pit balls. 3 people would be going in and finding out the White Dove balls..and 2 people would be standing out holding the buckets to catch those white balls. And the next team of 5 people does it. We collectively managed 175 balls.
Have a Ball
Our next game was Play with your hair..where we were given 5 hairstyles and 5 girls would create the hairstyles on 5 other girls and then those 5 girls will repeat the same on the girls who created before :p I guess all the teams got full 100 points here.
Play with your Hair
Then there was this life sized jigsaw puzzle..and we were given the left part of it..there were 3 teams and each team would be given one part of the complete picture. We managed to assemble it in 3 minutes and few seconds.
Jigsaw Puzzle
We later went to the Dove Salon area where we could get whatever hairstyles we did want,professionally and get pampered.
Dove Salon for Hair Makeovers
And lastly there was hoola hoop which we tried but could’nt complete due to lack of time.
Hoola Hoop
There was this one last bartending act near the pool where one girl would be representing her team..and she had to make a good drink and name it. Shivani from our team took the lead. The mixologist also gave out some tips. Top3 winners received Lakme Salon vouchers for everyone in the team. We lost there 🙁
Finally we had dinner and drinks, a DJ at the end. The winning team was announced. There was one more small game for 2 of the girls.
We all received Dove Keratin Actives Shampoo and Conditioner, Philips HP8309 Salon Straight Hair Straightner and a cute Dove bird blingy hair pin. And of course, Indiblogger tee and our pictures which we clicked there with all the fun props. The drops were also taken care of.
Pics we clicked there and got at the end
I think this was by far the best event/meet I have been to..since we were enjoying and had kept our bags with them, my camera was in my bag and I could not click enough pictures..so all these pics are from the Indiblogger page on facebook.
I am trying out the Dove Keratin Actives Range right now..and can see the difference in my hair already.
Dove claims: Dove Intense Repair Shampoo contains Keratin Actives that go deep within, to help rebuild damaged hair at the cellular level. It makes your hair beautifully smooth, strong and resilient to damage. Read more about it HERE.
Directions to use the Dove Intense Repair Shampoo :
1. After washing your hair thoroughly take 2 to 3 drops of the intense repair shampoo, equal to size of a coin, on your palm.
2. Then apply the dove shampoo, gently massaging it all over your hair from the roots to the tips.
3. Leave the dove shampoo on your hair for a couple of minutes and then rinse it off completely.
So basically all the damage from the heat and chemicals,can now be repaired. Let’s see..I will update you guys with a full review soon.
Also, we did not hear anything about the twitter winners there on ground..I hope we are updated by Indiblogger on this..coz some of us were tweeting a lot..and I even managed to find a Dove executive out of all the ladies in white and took a picture! :p
P.S: All the pics from the Indiblogger facebook page.
TRESemme Split End Remedy Shampoo, Conditioner Review
What the Company claims: The new range incorporates Amino Vitamin Blend and helps to rescue split ends,resulting in – easier to style, more manageable, shiny and stronger hair.
TRESemmé Split Remedy Shampoo gently cleanses hair of oil and dirt while the TRESemmé Split Remedy Rinse Out Conditioner conditions hair strands leaving your hair look healthy and stay smooth. TRESemmé Split Remedy is a salon quality formulation with Amino-vitamin blend and helps rescue up to 96% of split ends with use of shampoo and conditioner in just three washes for healthy-looking, smooth hair ready to style.
How does it work? The Innovative range contains Silicone, amino-vitamin blend and conditioning ingredients. All these ingredients from the formulation work in synergy to reduce split ends of hair fibre. The Silicone in the formulation has ability to form a lubricating layer on hair fibre. When hair is treated with shampoo and conditioner this layer helps to coat hair fibre to help bring hair fibres and split ends together. This layer also helps to reduce friction between 2 fibres and improve hair alignment.
This also includes blend of vitamins- Vit H, Vit B3, Vit C and Vit E along with lysine all known nourishing ingredients. The formula also contains poly electrolyte complex, oppositely charged polymers which are known to aid bringing split ends together.
Shampoo Claims:

MRP: Rs.170/- for 215ml
Conditioner Claims:

MRP: Rs.170/- for 215ml
I had been trying out the TRESemme Split End Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner as I had mentioned HERE and had even shared on my facebook..from about 2-3 weeks..
And now its time to review them. First of, I am loving the bright green colored packaging..the smell and feel of this shampoo and conditioner is totally professional salon kinds.
Both the shampoo and conditioner are white in color with normal texture..not too runny..have a nice fresh smell..that stays throughout the day! They have a easy flip cap packaging.
The shampoo lathers amazingly well..you do not need lots of it..it foams well, cleanses well..and gets rid of all the dirt and oil in a jiffy.
The conditioner is not the heavy moisturising kinds..but does its job well..I work it especially towards the end..since its meant to mend split ends..
If you read the ingredients carefully, you would see Keratin, Bition, Vitamin E, Vitamin B3, Vitamin C, etc which are all very good for the hair. It definitely gave me healthy looking, smooth hair as per their claims!
Now, I do not have much of an split ends problem, so cannot comment on the difference it makes. But what, I love about this range is, it is super light weight and gives my hair the shine and bounce..even the next day..I love how my hair feels after using this! No frizz, no weighing down, no greasiness. Only nice smelling, shiny, bouncy hair.
You can see my love for this range and how much my hair loves it.. my hair stays well behaved with this range.
I surely recommend this range..its my current Holy Grail! Highly recommend it.

Have you tried the new TRESemme Split End Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner ? Your views ?
Read about My Envy Box HERE and see my previous boxes of Jan, Feb, March and April.
Loved the pretty pink box..same as we had in April.
In this month’s box, I received..
Roberto Cavalli ‘Nero Assoluto’ EDT (A woody, floral fragrance-feminine,sensual and sophisticated. Loved it!)- 1.2ml
Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum– small ampoulle
Eminence Organics Tropical Vanilla Day Cream Sunscreen (SPF 32)- 3ml
H2O+ Targeted Hand & Nail Cream– 30ml
ZA True White Cleansing Foam– 5g
Ok, first of all, there were supposed to be makeup products in the previous box too and in this box too..none yet :/ Secondly, as I mentioned in my previous April box too, I am bored of this small sachet samples..except the H2O Hand and Nail Cream, none is decent sized. 2-3 ml stuff are not a good enough quantity to judge anything at all! Even if you like a product and would like to repurchase a bigger one, how would you judge if there is any change at all on your skin with a 2-3 ml product you used once!
Not very happy with the sample sizes except for the H2O one..the Roberto Cavalli perfume vial is good..smells amazing..totally me!
I feel My Envy Box should buck up now..and give us something good or exciting..its soon turning out to be one of those usual beauty boxes with 1-2ml samples. And definitely waiting for some good makeup things in the future boxes..atleast one item per month..since its being promised from the last 2 months..
Overall, again a mixed box..for me, only 2 products worked here,the perfume vial and H20 hand and nail cream..not very happy with the rest.
So we had Daniel Bauer with us at the American Swan Beauty & The Blogger..he demonstrated a few hairstyles on 3 of the models..and also gave us some tips and tricks..
Here my model Priyanka gets soft curls done with a pouf..a very easy and quick DIY hairstyle.
I have a step by step GIF for you guys..
So, basically what the hairstylist did was :
1. Created a pouf and pinned the hair behind with the help of bobby pins.
2. Curled the loose ends with a curling wand.
3. Kept a bang ahead to soften the face.
4. Set it with the TRESemme hold spray.
The Final Look
All theseTRESemme products are going to be soon launched in India..I can’t wait to lay my hands on few of these..especially the hold spray.
If you have shoulder length hair, this is a super easy quick hairstyle you can try out.
Also, I got a chance to interact with Daniel Bauer..had met him before at one other event few years back.

So if you read my post about the American Swan Beauty & The Blogger, you must have read we stayed at the Corinthians Resort & Club in Pune..And I wanted to share my experience of living in this beautiful space for 4 days..I am so going to miss all this..it was super fun..more so coz of this location.

They have three types of rooms: Deluxe, Superior and Suite..we were in the Deluxe room and each room was shared by two..so I was put up with one other blogger Shanaya.
They have 5 restaurants/cafes in the hotel: Salsa Global (Mediterranean and Indian cuisine), Pyramisa Multi- Cuisine and Resto Bar (multi-cuisine all day dining resto-bar), Oceanus Poolside Cafe, Oasis Pool Bar (in-pool, swim-up bar) and The 1st Brewhouse (They have freshly brewed fine quality Beer…and Apple Cider Beer is supposed to be the best. I liked it, did not love it though.). Every year they have a Beer Marathon 😀 So, beer lovers in Pune or those visiting Pune, you know where to head 😉
The hotel is super huge for all sorts of indoor (The Grand Ball Room, Alexandria,etc) and outdoor (Pantheon, Colosseum,etc) events. We were put up at Alexandria for the makeup and hair and nail art, etc and even our lunch and dinner..so we were practically living at Alexandria the whole 4 days. We partied at the 1st Brewhouse once and out outdoor adventure round was at the Cricket pitch and we had our grand finale at an open ground.
Alexandria is right above the pool area..so we could see people enjoying the music, DJ and having fun.
We had basic things for lunch and dinner but still every single time no subzi or dal or dessert was repeated..a different variety each time..and it tasted good too.
The pools and landscapes were beautiful and lush..you feel like just sitting and watching it all day long. My stay was pretty comfortable and memorable..I am surely coming back again..and would recommend it to all my friends too..
If you guys follow me on facebook, twitter or Instagram, you must have seen that I was at Corinthians Pune this whole week for the American Swan Beauty & The Blogger show.
I was one of the lucky 8 bloggers out of India, who were a part of American Swan Beauty & the Blogger.

And what is Beauty & The Blogger..Its a web based reality show..first of its kind in India.
A bevy of beauties and the brainiest bloggers star in this one of a kind web reality show. We kick off with a 3-day action packed event where 8 fashion models team up with 8 bloggers to participate in a multi-round reality game. The beauty will drive up the glamour quotient while the blogger will buzz social media with real-time updates, pictures and behind the scenes videos, straight from the heart of the action!
The event was being hosted by the celebrated VJ, Cyrus Sahukar. Top model Anusha Dandekar mentored the beauties and celebrity blogger Miss Malini mentored the bloggers. The event was followed by the Grand Finale – a power packed playlist of ‘American Swan Beauty & the Blogger’ that can be watched by all subscribers of the FameBox Fashion YouTube Channel.
The winning beauty will be the ‘Face of American Swan’, India’s fastest growing premium online apparel brand and the winning blogger will be American Swan’s ‘Social Media Ambassador’. Winners also take home a cash prize of Rs.5 lacs and tons of merchandise. To top it all off, both the beauty and the blogger will host their own YouTube channels on the FameBox Network!
Its produced by FameBox Network..Also, we had Lakme and TRESemme as associate sponsors and the location was Corinthians Resort, Pune.
Style Cracker was our styling partner..
So, the 1st day we left at 6am early morning on Monday for Pune..and the bus broke down on the Expressway 15 minutes before Lonavala and we were stranded..we had to wait there for another bus to arrive..and our whole schedule was running late then onwards..the profile shoot of bloggers which was to happen on the 1st day was postponed to next day morning since it was to be done in daylight and outdoors.
So we got all decked up and ready..and then went off to sleep, after shooting 1-2 videos that is,for the hairstyle and makeup :p Nothing productive. Next day morning we got our profile shoots done and then had to change for the 2nd round..the models had a swim wear round and later they had a task which was diving into the pool and getting a black bag with colored placards inside..and it was timed..so the top 3 girls who were quickest won points.
Swim and pairing round
The bloggers were given a bag each and had colored bands inside..and the models were holding the placards they fetched from the pool..and each model was paired with a blogger by matching the colors of the bands and placards.
All the models and bloggers paired
I got teamed up with Priyanka Deb Choudary..and our team was Team NLM (which stands for my blog, as we got only 5 minutes to think of a name..I could’nt think of anything!) She also came 3rd in the swimming round and that won our team some brownie points.
Me with my Model Priyanka
And we got a task of clicking 3 pictures of the models..The Oomph Look, The Wet Look and the Whacky Selfie of both..and all of us bloggers had basically turned into Atul Kasbekar clicking the models in their bikinis and sexy poses! 😀 Our team won the Best Click in The Wet Look category.
Our winning shot for ‘The Wet Look’
Next day we had an adventure round..where there was a series of tasks to do..like a relay..one by the blogger and one by the model..basically team effort. I got bruised knees coz of the tyre task and I was badly tanned/burned (4 shades darker) coz of shooting in the sun continuously for 6-7 hours.We were not in the Top 3 in that sadly 🙁
Adventure RoundJust before the Adventure RoundMe clicking my model in one of the tasks of the Adventure Round
We had Daniel Bauer for TRESemme who had come down to meet all of us..and even demonstrated 3 hairstyles on 3 models. It was followed by a Hollywood night..where we just partied and let our hair down at The 1st Brewhouse at the Corinthians Pune. I also got the Most Stylish tag by VJ Anusha and a compliment from Cyrus! Made my night :p
Daniel Bauer styling Model Surbhi’s hairGot the Most Stylish tag 😀
Next day we had the Talent Round and the Grand Finale. Lauren Gottlieb, brand ambassador of American Swan also joined us on the last day. We had some time to prepare for the Talent Round where we had 2-3 minutes to do anything we would like..unfortunately my model Priyanka fell ill after the adventure round and we could not prepare anything due to lack of time and we just sang..and we knew we had not put in the required efforts, so were not in the Top 3 in that too.
All of us before the Talent Round and Grand FinaleLauren! How hot is she..and how I love her #GirlCrush
This was followed by the Grand Finale and announcement of the top 3 teams for on ground activities..we were 5th on the basis of on ground activities due to the adventure round and the talent round.
But, on the basis of social media, I was in the 2nd position throughout on all 4 days. Now, once all the videos are uploaded on Youtube..it also depends on youtube engagement. So, let’s see how things work out. Thanks a lot for all your love and support throughout and I hope it continues later too 🙂
I loved the team and crew..very friendly and caring..we all hardly slept 2-3 hours in a day and were shooting continuously and the crew might be sleeping even lesser..still we all had so much fun! A nice experience to have..all the makeup and hair by Lakme and TRESemme, getting decked up before every shoot, the touch ups, the shoots, the OTF’s, everything..I am looking forward to the videos now..I hope they come out good..since it was the first time for me, to be on camera like this!
Thanks for reading, if you survived through the post 🙂 My small little journey of American Swan Beauty & The Blogger.
P.S: All the pics that are not watermarked do not belong to me.
I am back with an OOTD..I attended the Oriflame Bloggers Meet and yesterday and the Pond’s Men Range Launch (Super cute Varun Dhawan is the brand ambassador)
So basically I wore this white shirt with my super comfy slouchy polka dot pants..which are so comfortable in this horrible summers. The white shirt has a teal blue lining which gives the perfect pop of color to the monochrome outfit..
Also I wore this gold statement necklace..and finished with red and mint flats and my current favorite Daniel Wellington Watch !
I am so loving it..its sporty and chic and would match up with almost every outfit of mine <3 Its a Classic Southampton Lady with Rose Gold dial.
Also, there is a special 15% off discount for you guys, if you would like to have a Daniel Wellington watch..use the discount code ‘newlove15’ and its valid till 31st May ! So go to www.danielwellington.com and splurge :p

Lasts upto 12 hours waterproof and smudgeproof

Shades Available: 4
Purple Punch
Cobalt Cool

MRP: Rs.399/- for 0.28g
Avon already has Glimmersticks eyeliners and they are pretty known and famous and quiet good..I had reviewed the shade Nocturnal HERE.
They have launched these Glimmersticks Ultra Brights now..but not sure why the prices increased so much from Rs.259/- directly to Rs.399/- though they are mostly on offers..
Glimmersticks are generally metallic shades or ones with shimmer..these are matte but bright..
It goes on smooth and is quite creamy..no tugging or pulling..but requires layering for the intensity..atleast 2 swipes..not multiple though. Stays on for 6-7 hours before fading off.
Purple Punch is a matte bluish purple shade..
Pros:
1. Pretty brights.
2. Smudge proof and does not spread around.
3. Stays for a good 6-7 hours.
4. Mechanical and retractable..so no wastage.
5. Matching shade at the end to identify.
Cons:
1. Needs to be layered twice for the intensity.
2. Only available through an Avon rep.
Overall I liked this shade..but would have loved it more had the pigmentation been better..the previous Glimmersticks were more pigmented..or may be its just this shade..I am not sure..but definitely worth a try..especially on offers.
