Review Nykaa Matte Nail Lacquer Nutcraker Dreams 151
Review/Swatches Nykaa Matte Nail Lacquer Nutcraker Dreams #151

Hello everyone! Recently I picked up a few stuff from Nykaa which caught my fancy and I will be sharing my views on them in the coming posts. The first one of those is this nail paint from their Matte Lacquer range. The entire beauty world has been going gaga over matte lips and matte nails since over a year now and although I have quite a few matte lip colours, I never invested in a matte nail-paint. I would say the word “invested” because these bottles costs almost double of a normal nail-polish (I still prefer calling them nail-polish rather than nail-paint). Also, most of you would know of my preference of solid and opaque nail-polish in a subtle classy shade over neon shades. Remember how gaga I went over the Sally Hansen nail-polish in that oh-so-classy shade? Or my excitement over the Miss Claire French Manicure set? It was but obvious that I chose a similar nude or my-nail-but-better shade for my first matte nail-paint stunt J Among eight other shades in their Nude collection, I randomly chose the “Nutcraker Dreams” from the Nykaa website hoping that it looks similar in real life!

Bengali Bride in Dhakai Jamdani Saree

Bengali brides and banarasi sarees (benaroshi) have been inseparable from time immemorial. When I was getting married more than a year back, I had only one option in my mind as well- a fiery red banarasi saree with all over “Jangla” zari work (Read HERE in “Bengalis and Benaroshi”). Even for my reception, my mother-in-law had gifted me a pink and green banarasi saree (Read HERE “What I finally wore for my reception). But as much as I love the regal look which Banarasi saree gives, I cannot deny the fact that it is only during winter that a bride can be comfortable in a heavy work banarasi saree since the original lightweight pure silk Banarasis are almost non-existent now and thick satin variants are the only option for people on budget. I realised I have totally ignored summer brides and it is time for some tips on choosing a different saree for your special day. If you are not fond of too much bling, heavy work sarees and like to keep it simple and comfortable on your wedding, then this post is for you!

Review of Maybelline Colossal Kajal 24 Hr
Review of Maybelline Colossal Kajal 24 Hr

Hey everyone! All those of you know me personally or have been a regular reader of Elegant Eves since the blog had started knows about my weakness for Maybelline Colossal kajal. Ever since it was launched some years back, it has been my constant companion. I have tried many other brands in between  even tried just to find out if there is anything better than this but I was never successful- and this considering the fact that I have even tried kajals which were ten times as costly as Colossal. None could match the intensity, smoothness, longevity and sheer budget friendliness! There first release was the 6 hour stay claim one which was followed by 12 hour claim. Recently, they released a variant which claims to stay on for 24 hours! I was sent one to try out by the Maybelline team and that made me very happy :P After all, who isn’t glad when they get to try their favourite products? But did it leave a good impression as its predecessors did? Is it old wine in new bottle? Find out here!
