Hooked and Booked 🙂

Hey guys,

I have a news to share with you all..Yes, you are right..as the title reads..yours truly is getting engaged 🙂

My engagement is on 18th August i.e this Sunday. Just a week left ! I still cannot digest it :p

Yes, its a love one…meeting the parents, etc happened somewhere in April and things went smooth..since we both are Guju’s (only different sub-caste), there was not much resentment or opposing kinds..engagement was decided in August..also coz my bhabhi was expecting and due in July end..and now our princess Anaya is two months old already..gosh time flies !

All the shopping, outfit, jewellery, shoes, makeup, mehendi, fittings, photography, etc is sorted. Menu was finalised today. My guy’s outfit and mojri is also done (they hardly need anything and are always sorted :/)

I am on leave from 15th August..so awaiting that break..hectic schedule from last 2-3 weeks ! My parlor appointments are on 15th and 16th..mehendi is on 16th evening..would definitely share the pics with you all..

I have done my own little small research for everything in Mumbai..from the best places to shop for to the makeup artists and the photographers..and would be sharing it with you all in future posts..so this Mumbai Bride is going to help all the to-be brides of Mumbai or even those who are already married (when do we stop shopping 😉 )

Wedding would be happening mostly next year..and you would keep on getting new stuff to read till then :p

Next post would be up soon 😀

Sleek MakeUP i-Divine Sparkle 2 Limited Edition Review, Swatches

Sleek MakeUP has come up with their new i-Divine Sparkle 2 for Christmas..and this palette is so apt for Christmas and New Year and the parties..


MRP: £7.99

It comes in a regular Sleek rectangular black packaging with 12 shades..


This palette has 4 shimmers and 8 glitters..the shimmers are metallic finish and quite smooth..there is a gold, silver, bronze, copper..and the rest 8 are matte shades with gold/silver shimmer..


These stay on well 5-6 hours even without a primer..and more so with primer..quite pigmented..the metallic being more pigmented..there is little fall out with the matte shades and they also feel a little dry..but can be cleaned easily..comes with the usual 2 sided sponge applicator which is not of much use..


Shades: First Row




Chocolate Penny– Metallic golden copper..very smooth and quite pigmented
Blue Spruce– Matte Teal with silver shimmer..a little dry
Mulled Wine– Matte Cranberry wine with gold shimmer..more pigmented than blue spruce..
Truffle– Metallic Chocolate Brown..super pigmented and very smooth..Best shade in the palette
Mistletoe– Matte Bottle Green with gold shimmer
Illusion– Matte Deep Aubergine with silver shimmer

Second Row



Festive– Matte Deep Plum with silver shimmer..most pigmented matte with least fall out.
Gold Ribbon– Metallic True Gold..but not so pigmented..needs 2-3 swipes
Glitz & Glamour– Matte Charcoal gray with silver shimmer
Tinsel– Metallic True Silver..quite pigmented.
Twinkle– Matte Navy Blue with silver shimmer..a little dry
Starry Night– Matte Black with silver shimmer..super pigmented !

This palette being perfect for Christmas is co-incidentally also the best combination of metallic and warm shades for our Asian skin tones..and perfect for the wedding season currently 😉 I surely recommend this..its a must have !

Here is an EOTD using Gold Ribbon and Mulled Wine..

My favorite shades are Chocolate Penny, Truffle, Illusion, Festive and Starry Night.

What/Whom Bollywood brides wore
Regardless of the scale of the wedding, the star couples, especially the brides of Bollywood, have never failed to wow us. Here’s a look at the beautiful ladies in their wedding couture.
1. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan:

Aishwarya looked ravishing in a golden colour Saree designed by Neeta Lulla on her wedding day. The bride was decked in gold, kundan, precious gems and diamond jewellery from head to toe.

2. Esha Deol:

Dressed in a lovely pink lehenga by Rocky S, Esha looked resplendent at the event. Make-up, jewellery, hair were perfectly done keeping subtlety in mind.

3. Kareena Kapoor:

For her D-day Kareena, wore a green punjabi suit, while Saif chose to dress up in a grey kurta-pyjama since they had a simple registered marriage, for the nikaah ceremony she wore her mom in law Sharmila’s old red gharara..restored by Manish Malhotra..and for the reception or Dawaat E Waalima she again wore a Manish Malhotra “old-world” pink gharara

4. Lara Dutta:

Lara picked a gown by Lebanese-born Elie Saab for her wedding which took place in Christian style. Her gown also had a lot of lace, silk taffeta, and organza and a neckline studded with gemstones. What more!

5. Lisa Ray:

Recently married Lisa wore a crystal-encrusted gown by close friend and designer Wendell Rodricks, while for the reception she was seen in an exquisite custom-made Satya Paul sari. That sari sure is gorgeous..georgette sari highlighted with beige and traditional ‘gota patti’ work !!
6. Shilpa Shetty:
Shilpa looked stunning in the shimmering golden coloured dress, designed by Tarun Tahiliani. Complementing her dress was the jewellery which she picked from Anmol jewels.
7. Genelia:
Genelia wore a red lehenga-choli ensemble and net dupatta heavily decorated with golden embroidery and sequins, exuding classic elegance. The red and gold stunning lehenga was designed by Shane and Falguni Peacock. The fitted choli and flairs of the lehenga suited her slim figure.
I loved Lisa Ray’s Satya Paul sari and Genelia’s Lehenga Choli..
