Over the top ootn

It was my cousins pre wedding party last night. And about a week ago, we finally received our outfits that were posted from india. When I first saw the dress, I wasn't that keen on it, I actually wasn't even that sold on it when we were getting them made in india- it was sparkly and pink, which is the exact opposite of me. But we were really short on time, and a decision had to be made quick, so I panicked and said I would get it made in pink. My sister got it made in purple. Me my sister and two nieces are the bridesmaids, I guess? So me and the younger niece got pink ( because we're both the youngest) and my sister and other niece got purple (because they're the oldest- I hope that makes sense!)

Anyway, the outfit did look a lot better on, specially because the venue was kind of dark! Due to the venue being dark, and also me trying to socialise with all the aunties etc, I didn't really take any good pictures. So I took one this morning, so you can get an idea of the outfit. 

The whole outfit was pretty much from India, except the earrings,which I bought from the sales in New Look, beginning of this year, and the hair grip, I think it's called, which is my sisters. 

We received a lot of compliments last night, which was nice as we weren't that happy with the dresses, the outfits for the wedding day on the other hand, are actually amazing. And I can't wait to wear it next week!

We also got our make up done from Mac last night, in our local shopping centre. I have previously gotten my make up done from Mac once before, years ago for my prom! Mac charge £30 to get your make up done in an hour. I think it's a really great service, as the make up artists use mac products, and at the end of it, you basically get to buy £30 worth of products that they have used on you, so for the £30 not only do you get your make up done, but you also get to take some new Mac products home!

I'm completely useless with make up, I can only put eye liner on thats it, but my eye liner skills are pretty amazing. On the other hand, thanks to Pinterest and the endless youtube videos, I am pretty good with my hair, so I did my hair myself. I found a Pinterest tutorial, and just did that. It was actually as simple as it looks, and I even back combed my hair for the first time, which was pretty interesting! 

Back to the interesting stuff, with my Mac make up, I chose to get some lip primer, and lip stick. I am very big on lipsticks right now, and chose a matt lipstick. 

I don't have the lipstick to hand right now, so I don't know what it's called- sorry!

Late night ladoo operation

As I have mentioned before, my cousin is getting married this year, in September to be exact. which is the end of this month!

Things have been getting pretty busy lately with wedding preparations etc. As the wedding is coming up fast, a few weeks ago all the women at home, plus a few of my mum and massis friends decided to take the day to make some ladoos to give out with the wedding cards.

I've always wondered how you make ladoos, and it is actually pretty simple, its basically just a gram flour paste, and sugar. Oh and some food colouring to get the colour.

I say all the women in the house were busy making them, but in all honesty, I was just there to eat them. That warm laddo mixture, right before you make the ladoo shape is the best.

This was just one table of ladoos, the whole kitchen was filled with them, as well as the coffee table, and since this picture was taken, we've made more batches on 2 seperate occassions. So it's safe to say I am getting a little sick of them!
