Hi Rati,
As you might recall I attended a wedding recently and I thought I should send the photos to IMBB. And just incase you thought I am not including any single snaps its becos I really get any taken and not becos I came out badly in them. But can you believe I didn’t take any single ones????? After all the thinking I did that I should take single shots so that I can send them to IMBB and tell the gang what makeup I wore etc etc, I didn’t take any. Atleast for IMBB I should have so please do pardon the group photos.
Me in the middle just before stepping out for the reception!!!! My cousin and her mom. Loved the elegance of my aunt. If any of you are Coorgis you will notice that the saree pallu is kinda like the way Coorgis wear thoug the pallu is on the other side for them.
Me and my husband with the groom (you guessed that ofcourse 🙂 ) my eyes closed but kya kare???
Wish I could seriously do something about those dark circles. I hate them, hate them, hate them 🙁 VLCC perhaps!!!
Me with my husband at the Sangeet. Didn’t quite understand the shine on my cheeks. My face wasn’t looking so shiny frankly..camera perhaps . 🙂
Me and my cousins at the cocktail party a night before the wedding. Don’t ask my haalat the next morning. 🙂
But nevertheless I am including what makeup I wore through- out the 5 days on various occasions –
• Oil of Olay moisturizer
• Maybelline makeup base
• Maybelline chai latte eyeshadow/eyebrow squad
• Lotus lipstick – some pinkish color which I loved
• Maybelline Eyeshadow – chai latte (gold)
• Faces eyeshadow – the mauve one
• L’oreal foundation
• Maybelline mousse – pinkish mauve one
• Maybelline gel eyeliner – black
• Faces eyeliner – forest green and aqua blue – I used this the most..
• Did my night ritual of cleansing with Oil of Olay cleanser
• Tea Tree blackheads remover – Body Shop
• Nutranite night cream – Lotus
Last but not the least, I thank each and everyone of you for all the fabulous suggestions you gave me.I have never felt better and more confident honestly in such a long time. Love you guys..have a vacation in the US coming up in July and I will bother you yet again..(this is what you get for being so nice to me..hahah)

Woww Aruna, all your pics tell you take great care of yourself ! :waytogo:
that is a lovely thing to say Tapaswini. appreciate the compliment. I did lose about 3 to 4 kgs for the wedding and I am continuing with my exercise routine which is basically walking for 30 mins evety day 🙂 (had to brag a bit here 😉 )
all ur dresses are gorgeous aruna :-*
Thanks Neha..
very pretty aruna..n loved all the outfits too..hows d lotus night cream ?
thanks for the compliments Bhumika.
I love the night cream (nutranite) simply becos I havent broken out into any pimples so far. thats my way of judging a product O:)
you should review this night cream, I remember you put up a question abt night cream on this blog….pls review at the earliest….
i will but I dont know what to say..let me tell ya now only – i have oily/combination skin and it works very well for me. But i am above 40 so i dont know if that makes a difference for you :). I have used pmenty of others including garnier, Loreal and Oil of olay and found this one to be the best so its worth trying for sure. I can send these comments separately to Rati and she can put it up too 😀
Aruna wonderful pics…i lurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrv the cocktail outfit. elegant….u look great! :yes:
