Portraying an authentic bride on the small screen could be a daunting task and who would understand this better than the makers of STAR Plus’ popular shows Ishqbaaaz, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon who have three mega weddings lined up for the month of August. To ensure that the shows do aesthetic justice to the fashion element of the wedding saga, the makers have roped in veteran designer and czarina of Indian fashion Neeta Lulla to design the bespoke trousseau for all the three leading brides.


Bollywood's go-to designer and a 4 time National Award winner who has contributed to over 300 films has specially taken time out from her hectic Manikarnika schedule to design the outfits for STAR Plus in a span of just one week. With these reel weddings, Neeta brings to life ideas that depict the grandeur, enchantment and aesthetics of traditional Indian brides. To remain true to the themes of a Punjabi, a Rajasthani and a UP wedding in the three shows, the makers have ensured meticulous detailing and worked relentlessly on entire styling of the sequence.

The outfits so designed exude opulence with with a foreplay between festive colors and organic silks coupled with zardozi, crystals, semi-precious stones, sequins and mirrorwork. Neeta Lulla who celebrates 3 decades in the industry states, “The inspiration for these couture pieces comes from the rich Indian culture and heritage.

Every outfit has an impeccable embodiment of drama, intricacy and elegance coupled with a playfulness that brings to the fore the core persona of the brides. I have heard great reviews about these shows and how they are trendsetters with regards to their fashion statements. I have always been associated with weddings in India and I understand the design sensibilities pertaining to home-grown culture and traditions."

Hello beautiful girls...

Before starting the tutorial, let me first share one thing with you all... Yesterday I was so disturbed and not feeling good and when one of my lovely blogger friend Anamika told me, 'why don't you draw a nailart, you will feel better', the words instantly created my mood and I was ready to draw but due to some issues I was not able to draw anything, but here is something for you today.. So I have drawn a very beautiful yet easy to draw Indian  bridal nailart for all of you...




Red colour is very auspicious when it comes to any festival or function or wedding in India...  So here I have used red colour as my base colour and used the 3D crystal nail rhinestones and steel beads nail studs to decorate my nails...  I have got the nail decorations from Beautybigbang.com . Let me first tell you something about these nail decorators and further we will proceed to the tutorial..

Beautybigbang is an international shopping site which stores nail and makeup stuffs and they are providing free shipping worldwide...  The products are of awesome quality, I am saying because I have already quite few stuffs from the site itself.. Read my experience HERE and HERE.




The Gold 3D rhinestones comes in a tiny box which makes it easy to store..  As you can see there mix sizes diamonds inside the box.. The rhinestone's base is flat, hence easy to put and set on nails..  There are different colours available on site, I have the pink one as well..I will show you that in another post..  The beads wheel has three colour beads i.e. golden, silver and rose gold shade.  There are four sizes in each individual beads in that same wheel which makes it convenient to apply according to the necessity.

Now get into the Indian bridal nailart tutorial...

PRODUCTS REQUIRED -


▪ A bright red nail polish
▪ A transparent base coat
▪ 3D crystal rhinestones of gold shade
▪ Golden beads
▪ Few toothpicks



STEPS -

1- First apply a clear base coat and let it dry.. Then apply red nail polish as I have shown in the below picture..

2- Now put tiny drops of clear coat where I supposed to put the beads and stones...


3-Then through a toothpick pick the rhinestones and beads and put on nails carefully... Refer the pic..

4- After few seconds apply generous quantity of clear coat and wait till dry completely...

Hairfall is the biggest nightmare of my life and I think I will become completely bald in the coming years ... In between one day I got a call from Yami Herbals to try out their homemade hair oil...  Initially I was a little confused because till now I have tried every possible thing to control my hair fall and to gain back my lost hair but no miracle happened...  But I said yes to them as I have a good experience with yami herbals homemade hairpack . Hence I am using this homemade hair oil since 3 weeks now (twice a week)  and find below my experience with it...



BRAND CLAIMS - Yami herbals homemade traditional hair oil is a blend of 12 herbals that are useful in strengthening and prevents graying of hair naturally.

PRICE - Rs180/- for 100ml. 

You can buy from HERE.

INGREDIENTS - Aloevera, Brahmi Leaves, Bhringhraj, Small Onions, Neem Leaves, Amla, Curry Leaves, Fenugreek seeds and leaves, Moringa Leaves, Badam, Hibiscus Leaves and Flowers, Olive Oil

HOW TO USE - Part your hair and apply all over the scalp, massage the scalp gently with fingers in a circular motion.  So that the oil gradually gets absorbed into the scalp.  Leave for an hour or more before washing.


PACKAGING - The hair oil comes in a plastic bottle with a screw cap. There is also a additional nub at the opening of the bottle which allows right quantity oil each time...  As it is handmade, the seller send the bottle with extra care. There is also a plastic rounded bottle inside which she had packed the oil bottle (I forgot to click the picture of that outer bottle).  All information regarding the product on that outer plastic bottle itself...  The packaging is sturdy, though I don't prefer to carry oil during travelling or whenever I carry, I put extra precautions..


MY EXPERIENCE - I have shoulder length wavy hair but the ends are curly and dry. I have hairfall issue since a long time now..  I have started using this hair oil with zero expectations because I have already tried so many things and nothing happened..  I do follow the direction of use mentioned by brand...  I normally oil my hair twice a week before shampooing . I put the oil overnight and wash in the morning.


The oil is yellowish green in colour and has herbal kind fragrance which vanishes after sometime...  The oil is not sticky or heavy on hair...  It is very lightweight .. I love to apply a little warm oil on my hair but it can be apply the way it is as well.  The oil provides nourishment to my hair and improves the hair texture and quality gradually.


Initially after 2-3 uses, I didn't see any remarkable changes in my hair texture or hairfall problem and came to a conclusion that, this oil is nothing miracle and it is like a normal oil...  But after using almost 6-8times ,now I can notice its effect..  These days my hairfall has reduced a bit (not fully).. I am not facing much hairfall after shampooing..  My hair texture has changed as well...  I am feeling so happy for that...  I am very sure, with continuous uses, I can get rid of my hairfall issue and it will take time and I am ready for that...

RATING - 4.5/5 😊

I am recommending you all to try out this amazing homemade hair oil ... It is all natural and organic and good for hair...  With long term use, you can notice the difference.. I am going to repurchase this after finishing the current one... 

Hope you found this review helpful...  Do share your thought in comments below...

See you in my next post...

STEPS -

1- First paint the nails with white nail polish after applying a layer of clear base coat...  Then wait to dry 80% ..

2- When the white polish is still a little wet, apply the orange polish at the top 1/3rd and green polish at the lower 1/3rd . Don't apply much polish, hence it will be a mesh..



3- Now take a toothpick and started dragging the shades in outward direction... Refer  the picture and you will get a clear idea...  Here I have shown my thumb nail..

Hello everyone... Happy Rakshabandhan to all...

Today's review is on Iraa Instarepair Multi-Action Night Cream . If you are very new to this brand, let me tell you that Iraa is an Indian brand which has a good range of skin and hair care products...  All the products are cruelty free and of very good quality..



Last month the brand was very kind enough to send two of their skincare stuffs to me for review purpose and this night cream is one of those...  I am using this since two weeks now regularly and find below my opinion on this multi-action night cream by Iraa..

BRAND CLAIMS - 



PRICE - Rs 595/- for 50gm.

Available on Amazon (here) and Nykaa (here)

INGREDIENTS -



PACKAGING -


The Iraa instarepair multi-action night cream comes in a tub packaging with a steal finish plastic screw cap...  The packaging is simple yet beautiful..  Though tub packaging is unhygienic to use but you can use a spatula to bring the product out...  The tub again comes inside a off-white cardboard box which has all necessary information regarding the product..  The packaging is travel-friendly and leak-proof..

MY EXPERIENCE - 


The night cream is white in colour and thick consistency.  Initially I thought it will be hard to blend out but I was wrong...  The cream has very soft texture which makes it blendable easily.  I need only a pea size quantity for each use and it spreads on skin like butter . It is quickly absorbed by skin and doesn't make oily afterwards like few other night creams do. The cream has very mild fragrance (can't recognize which fragrance) which is very pleasant too.




These days I am applying it every night and in the morning I can feel a smooth and soft face.. It has Shea butter which helps to moisturize skin very well..  There are few awesome ingredients which make the night cream more effective.  It has antioxidant properties which helps to make skin healthier and smoother..  The brand is claiming that it brightens up skin but I can't notice any and I even don't mind that.. When it comes to reduces fine lines and wrinkles, then I can't comment on that as I don't have these issues now  (touch wood).

PROS..  -

⏺Packaging is good, travel-friendly
⏺Mild fragrance which is pleasant
⏺Thick constitency and smooth texture
⏺Spreads effortlessly on skin and absorbs quickly
⏺Doesn't feel oily afterwards or heavy on skin
⏺Has some awesome ingredients
⏺Hydrated on skin and makes skin soft and healthy looking
⏺ Repair UV damages
⏺Suit all skin types

CONS.. -

⏺Availability might be an issue
⏺Doesn't brighten up skin as it claims (but I don't mind)
⏺Has paraben as ingredient

RATING - 4.5/5 😊

Hope you found this review helpful... Do share your thought below in comments..
