Thank You, IMBB. :))

By Aruna

Hi Rati,

I have been wanting to say this for a long time but I am not the greatest with words so here goes my attempt anyways – 🙂

————————————————————————————————–

A HEARTFELT THANK YOU

I want to thank you and the entire team of IMBB and also the various ‘bloggers’ on the fabulous articles and reviews they write on the numerous products that are out there. You have no idea how much I look forward to receiving these blogs right to my PC. Above all some of the reviews have me so tremendously that it has made me a more confident person overall and lots of women have started complimenting me. And that feels great. My ego is slightly inflated at this point. 😛 J A large part ofcourse is because I think I am slowly mastering the art of using makeup (thanks to the tutorials on IMBB) and as much as we hate to say or admit it, the way a person looks or carries himself/herself is extremely important and people do perceive you differently. I am infact guilty of the same . If I see someone shabbily dressed, I am bound to make a judgment until I get to know the person better.

In a corporate environment such as mine, presenting myself to clients and the senior management and ofcourse to my own team is very very important. The tips on day makeup or makeup for office and for a lunch or tips on makeup for a weekend lunch has helped me a lot.

I can think of a million other articles that inspire me or make me laugh or just brighten my day. Most of all the positive atmosphere that is apparent on this side is really there for all to see. The way ppl thank one another or the way they appreciate or complement one another is extremely heartening to see.

BIGGGG THANKS to you for starting this site. I came upon it by chance when I was looking for some feedback on a product and after being part of IMBB I am so addicted that I hardly ever visit any other side for beauty and makeup.

I wanted to say this to the others on IMBB but commenting this on any of the articles would have been kind of taking off in a tangent so I am only writing to you. if you want to post this on my behalf, pls do so..

P.S – (I want to especially thank the person who recommended this fantastic product Lacto Calamine moisturising lotion (face) . it was always there in every store I went and I never ever ever thought of buying it . 😛 I mean its is simple WOWWW!!! The fact tat it does not cost much was simply a bonus. I was ready to spend the bigg bucks on any product since skincare is so important. With lacto calamine honestly, I have found exactly what I am looking for. When I get tempted to buy another product I quickly remember what lacto calamine does and I just stop myself. I picked up the face wash too from lacto calamine and it is fabulous!! So God bless whoever recommended this.)

    Thanks Rati and Sanjeev for starting this fabulous blog.
    Like Aruna, even I stumbled upon this blog, when I was looking for feedback on a product!!
    Not only has it taught so much about skin care and makeup…but also helped me become a more positive person.
    I remember going through a hard time when I first came across
    IMBB. Found Jomol and Rads ke HILARIOUS comments, By the time I was done reading, I was laughing like mad. I found myself coming back to the blog…just to read their stupid comments… :toothygrin: :toothygrin: :toothygrin: These days I always have this silly grin on my face as I always start my day with IMBB. Sets the mood for the rest of the day………………. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

    I will also buy lacto calamine and thanks IMBB for recommending lotus lipstick :victory:

    1. Hi Sudha,

      Welcome to IMBB! Some rules you should follow here-

      1. If you see the names ‘Jomol’ or ‘Rads’ spank them without any reason.
      2. Even if you buy a hairband for your hair, take a picture and flaunt it here.
      3. Buy a lot of stuff. It keeps you sane and companies happy.

      Welcome once again. 🙂

      1. If you see Sanjeev, use this: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :hunterwali: :toothygrin:

  14. I am usually busy fixing things backstage, and many a time I even refrain from commenting when pure girly talks are going on, but I read each and every comment on IMBB. Sometime it is so irresistible not to comment here. :yelo:

    I am very thankful that Rati started IMBB and I went along. But I think this is very small part of the story. I think we should be thankful for the kind of group that we have made here. It would be hard to name each and everyone but slowly most of are getting to know each other’s personality, even though we are behind the walls of the net. 🙂

    It might seem a little strange to some people but Rati and I really pray that this bonhomie, this woodstock festival of women, remains of forever. 🙂

    Aur Aruna ji, beer pijiye beer. Lacto Calamine mein kya rakha hai. :toothygrin:

      1. Me wants to spank Rati for starting IMBB…mere kharche tighune ho gaye hain jabse i started reading reviews here :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: and i keep on peeking here for new posts even though i m super busy with work… :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: ……hehe on a serious note i think Rati and Sanjeev go out of the way somtimes to help us…me loveeeeeeeee u guys and loveeeeeeeee all the crazzzzzzzyyy ppl here :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: :inlove:

  17. Ok. Actually I read your conversation with Twinkle on IMBB Accepting Articles on Travel….

    Let me tell you about myself .I completed BE)Instrumentation) Pune Uni in 2009 and since working in a consulting company.I wish to do MBA and wish to study in a decent college.Actually my prob is the same that my 12th score is not good(was focussing on entrance Xams not board exams) and thanks to Pune Uni ,my engg score cannot compete with IITians.

    Hence,whatever be my CAT score,IIM A is impossible..still is there any hope for the 1st 5 or 1st 10 institutes in India….

    1. I studied in so called good college in Pune…but ,you know,other than say ,1st 20 colleges ,all the rest are almost the same.!!!I got ‘average’ education till my grads and will never let the same happen for my post grad!!

      So overall I am quite tensed about the future!!

      1. Sonam,

        I think in case of IIMs, they have given some 21 points criterion for giving a call. Go through that document and you can calculate whether you shall get an IIM call or not.

        Other B schools are not following idiosyncrasies such as IIMs are and would be within your reach.

        There is something you will have to remember- A good performer from a lower-rung institute fares better than an average or low performer from a higher rung institute. If your worry is about the institute, give your damndest to your preparation, take the best that comes along, and then perform well in your institute.

        Above all, remember that MBA is over-rated. It is still a job no matter how high-paying. And, at the end of the day, the question ‘what should I do with my life?’ would still remain unanswered. You will have to answer that heart-wrenching question even after doing an MBA.

        You will eat better though. So it’s all good. 🙂

        1. YA sure…I’l ldo that.

          I totally agree with you when you say no matter how high paying,at the end its just a job!!!

          And as for that question ,yes I know what to do with life(partially though),and an MBA will help me atleast atleast partially,if not completely…

          Anyways,Thanks a lot :))

  18. IMBB has helped me a lot with makeup and product reviews. Thank you to Rati and sanjeev for this blog and all the others who have contributed to the posts.

    Also, the comments section is something that never disappoints us 😀

  19. A BIG THANKS from my side as well … I am glad such site was made someday :yahoo: :victory:

    It was only from the reviews on IMBB,I have started taking care of my skin and have decided my products purely from IMBB reviews… O:)
    Thank You all :cheers:
