My Wedding Update : In double digits now!
Shopping, cards, decor finalization, everything is no longer on the research tab its down to hard core finalization.
My Pre-bridal starts soon. Exercise (Yoga) is more of a routine now.
Million tiny details are left, need to get all my regular stuff (shampoo, toothbrush,etc. etc.) organised.
Have to find the perfect nail paint for the wedding. ( any suggestions)
Have to start collecting my makeup stuff from the list written here

Still have to find a baju band, have gotten pretty much everything on the 16 singar list
http://www.crazyindianwedding.com/2012/08/modern-brides-16-singar.html
*phew* so much tiny things to do, I guess all these little stuff will go on till the wedding day.
By the way did I tell you guys I am banned from my honeymoon destination decision. I ended up changing the place every few hours, so now the whole trip is a surprise for me. Which I guess is good in a way, one less thing to worry about :P , only know I dont know what to shop....hmmm...

List of Makeup Trousseau
I know I have been out of scene for a while, so busy shopping!!
I had to make this list for myself, might as well do it online and share with you all.
Tiny Tip: Buy Makeup as close to the wedding month as you can without freaking out. Makeup lasts upto 6 months, so plan accordingly.
I am guilty of using products more than a year old, I know its unhealthy for the skin. But how can I throw out all those pretty eye-shadows and lip colors :(
I would buy my stuff around 2 months in advance. ( don't want to leave anything for the last month)
What I am Buying :
1. Foundation : Day and Night
I prefer no foundation at all during day time.
Love my Pond's golden radiance cream so much that find that great as a day foundation and also a a great base for makeup. (It doesn't really give any sort of coverage but is really good for giving the skin a beautiful 'glow' )
If you really really want a day foundation then try Maybelline bb cream.
Night Foundation
Ofcourse if its just dinner out with family I would still prefer my bb cream to get me through it, but if its a family function or something that you have to get properly ready for, then we do need a good solid coverage foundation.
I prefer Mac products for that.
The Sales girls are pretty good and give a great recommendation. I took a trial once and it looked almost as if they had literally taken my own skin color and put it on me.
I have been using L'oreal in the past, which is pretty good as well.
I would personally buy Mac, its a wedding thing : you should buy the best that you can.
Not sure if L'oreal is better, or Mac is. Not really an expert on that, so shall not comment. But have read up a lot and people recommend Mac more.
2. Concealer and Eclat
Concealer
I don't really need a concealer *touch wood*. (thats what a lot of people tell me)
But its better to have one right?!
They are the best at hiding dark circles after late nights, no?!
I am planing on asking the Mac SA only to tell me which one.
Should the Concealer match the foundation or something??
Need Help on this one.
Eclat
Not sure what to do with it, people say it helps in brightening up your skin in a minute if put right. I put it on once and ya it helps in giving you an instant 'fresh' look.
YSL's the best. want it!!
Anybody knows the price??
3. Blush
Neutral and Peach/Pink
I will probably end up buying something neutral, which gives a slight 'flushed' look.
4. Eye Stuff : Eye Shadow, Eye liner, Kajal, Mascara
Eye Shadow
Chances are your in-laws have already, or plan to, give you an eye shadow palette.
If so (and you still want to buy) then buy what your pretty sure that you will wear.
I am only getting a neutral palette. In-laws have given me all colors possible.
Who am I kidding I am pretty sure I will end up buying another palette which has blues, greens and pinks in it :D
Eyeliner and Kajal
I am getting Lakme eye artist and Incolor kajals.

and kajal swatches here http://www.crazyindianwedding.com/2012/08/incolor-swatches-kajal-of-my-choice.html
Mascara
If you have seen the research I have done on the kajal (read review link above) then let me assure you I have done an equal amount of research on Mascara's. Will write about it if I get time.
My conclution of years of research has lead me to :
Maybelline Colossal Mascara
5. Lipsticks, Lipgloss and Lip liners
Lipsticks
I read somewhere that a few people where confused with what colors work for them. Nowdays you get pretty cheap lip color palette from good brands like Lakme and all. Try that out if your confused about which color suits you.
I did too, but have actually gone back to the best way to figure out different lipcolors. Mom's makeup box.
Will be buying: Pinkish and redish shade.
Probably : Loreal 702 and the new l'oreal infallible range. ( Need a non-tranfarable lipstick. Heard these are the best)
Lipgloss
Defiantly need my neutrals in this! and a pretty shade of pink.
Will buy: I have this really nice neutral Mac and a pink Loreal shade 200
Lip Liners
Same color as the lipsticks and gloss ofcourse to make sure they don't spill out!!
____
And ofcourse Loads of makeup brushes!!
I generally use my fingers for blending but defiantly still need a set of brushes!

Let me know if I missed out anything!!??

 |
| Left to Right : Night Cream, Day Creme (smaller bottle), Facewash, Day Cream (Bigger bottle), and Serum Absolutely love the day creme. The night creme has a little more gold 'particles' , I used it for my engagement on my hands and they sparkled in the light :D , in a really pretty way. |
If you really really want a day foundation then try Maybelline bb cream.
 |
| I didn't know before but they actually come in 3 different shades so make sure you take the one that matches your skin tone. |
Night Foundation
Ofcourse if its just dinner out with family I would still prefer my bb cream to get me through it, but if its a family function or something that you have to get properly ready for, then we do need a good solid coverage foundation.

 |
| Not sure if this was the one she used on me. Still have to buy. Do listen to what the SA tells you! |
I have been using L'oreal in the past, which is pretty good as well.
 |
| That's the one I have been using, it has got me through college years, numerous fashion weeks and store launches . Never had any complains. Friends actually said my skin looks great in it. |

Not sure if L'oreal is better, or Mac is. Not really an expert on that, so shall not comment. But have read up a lot and people recommend Mac more.

Incolor Swatches : Kajal of my choice
Before I begin please note I am not a beauty blogger, this is more or less my experience with things that have worked for me. (well actually don't beauty bloggers also put up there own personal experiance?! ....hmm...must think)
Anways you probably read my whole Blog Banter on different Kajals here .
If you didn't, well long story short in my experience of around 8 years of wearing kajal (just calculated that didnt realise I have been putting kajal for that long) my prefered brand know is Incolor.
Just got my First Makeup product for my Bridal Trousseau :
For people who have got incolor kajal's or plan to buy them tiny tip :
They are waterproof and last all day long without spilling.
However, by the end of an 8 hour day you might find a thin line outside your normal kajal applying area. No, not panda eye style, just a thin spill over at the end of the day.
Please remove this with a good makeup remover or else you will defiantly wake up with panda eyes.
What do I do :
I use Kara Makeup remover wipes to remove at night.
Sometimes I don't do a good job with it, so wake up with some kajal spill. I remove that using an ear bud coated with cold cream and gently wipe near my kajal applying area to get absolutely clear eyes.

 |
| Incolor kajal's in every color possible!! Although later I realized I forgot Black Left to Right : Sky Blue, Gold, Sea-Green, Silver, Smoky Grey, Purple, Army Green |
 |
| The colors might very slightly differ, need to start using a better camera for the blog. Sorry couldn't put on bigger swatches, its for the trousseau so couldn't really use them. But just had to show you guys! |
