Blush On Tips For The Bride-to-be
// By Devina

There’s a huge difference between a blushing bride and a bride who’s obviously wearing blush. Bridal makeup should always look effortless and enhance your natural beauty instead of overwhelming it. Blush can be the trickiest element to get right.




To select the right blush colors for your skin tone, first consider whether you have cool (blue) or warm (yellow) undertones in your skin. Then follow these rules: Don’t fight your complexion by picking a shade that’s opposite your skin tone (pale skin with cool undertones, for example, won’t look good with warm apricot blush). At the same time, don’t choose a color that has too many of the same undertones (a pinky-violet blush could make pale skin with cool undertones look ruddy or blotchy).

It’s a tricky balancing act! Remember when you’re shopping to pick out a light and a bright version. “To double check that you have the right bright shade, hold the blush color next to your cheeks. It should immediately brighten your face.

IMPORTANT TIPS-

Fair skin tone with cool undertones: baby pink with hints of mocha or beige; soft rose
Fair skin tone with warm undertones: golden apricot; light peach with a touch of pink

Medium skin tone with cool undertones: cranberry or light raspberry; rosy pink
Medium skin tone with warm undertones: sunkissed apricot; soft coral with brown undertones

Dark skin tone with cool undertones: plum; grape; dark raspberry
Dark skin tone with warm undertones: brown suede; deep coral with a little bronze

Worry no more and try on blushes virtually and find the hue that’s right for you. :)

Wedding Series: The Bride's Blouse Guide
// By Devina

If you are bride-to-be, or you are a brand new bride or you simply love wearing sarees but always wonder where can you get a well fitted blouse from, especially when you are in Delhi then wait no more as this post is going to be your ultimate directory for Blouse stitching!



As we all know that a perfect blouse fitting can really make a difference to one's look, according to Miss Guiltybytes it's the style, the cut that expresses some fluidity in a woman's body. Gone are the days when you had to worship mastarji's of the world to get the desired fit, now days you can simply take your saree and walk into a right place to get a ready made, perfectly fitted blouse design.  
I have made a list of the top places, (after experiencing them all) from where you can pick your desired blouse piece.

Tilak Tailors: You have been to Karol Bagh and you didn't know of them? Well Tilak Tailors are the papaji's in this business. They specialize in ready made and custom made blouse stitching only. They are busy people, busy is an understatement but they charge an extra fee of Rs.500 for super fast delivery of a blouse piece. They aren't cheap either, the stitching costs about  700 Rs. The delivery time during festive season is about 15-20 days. They have fabrics in all colors and designs and you can never be clueless of what you want with their staff who are more like your personal stylists!

USP: Apart from delivering well stitched blouses, they stitch Choli's for lehengas,corsets and house a variety of fabrics from where you can choose your blouse piece. 

Eves: South Delhi residents love this place. They are the second papaji's in this business. Okay they are a bit more expensive than Tilak guys but are specialists in : Corset Blouse, Halter Cut Blouse, Bombay Cut Blouse, Padded Blouse, Princess Cut Blouse, Off Shoulder Blouse, Choli Cut Blouse, Backless Blouse, Spaghetti Strap Blouse and more. The delivery again varies from 15-20 days but they are best when booked a month or two months in advance. They don't take additional orders if they are loaded with work but yes they also house ready made pieces for a bride on the go. Average cost price of a designer blouse is Rs.500+

USP: They create magic. You want a design and they will deliver a design better than what you can expect. Endless variety and perfect fitting are their USP.

GK Blouse Market: Readers residing in south Delhi are well aware of the underground blouse wali gali. This place is a must visit for everyone who is looking for festive, fancy, bling blouse pieces. They have ready made designs available and then you have a real time masterji sitting at the shop who fixes up the blouse haath ke haath. Average pricing of the blouse pieces are Rs.800/- It's ahead of Dunkin Donuts, and you might just miss the doorway that spreads like a dungeon.

USP: Ready to wear sequin blouses, lace blouses and real time masterji who fixes the size of the blouse asap.

Raspberry: This one's for all the people who use the yellow line via metro. The boutique is being run by a sister duo who are based out of home and let me tell you my b'ful readers, Raspberry has designed and delivered series of family trousseau, yes the entire trousseau. If you have time on you then please visit them at model town. The masterji is an artist, he makes the best possible fittings on the planet. I will do an extensive review on the, but yes blouses are priced  Rs.600+.

USP: Their blouse fittings are like cinderella's shoes, all thanks to the awesome work done by masterji.




Anokhi: I have been to the one in Khan market and it has some of the best stuff I have ever seen. They have alternate ethnic clothing, like a wide range of kurtas, kurtis, sarees and more but their ready made blouses are 'the' finds for your tasser silk, silk and chanderi sarees. The fittings, well the blouses comes in ready made sizes such as small, medium, large but they are very graceful, elegant pieces. 

USP: If you are looking for timeless pieces in your trousseau then this is the place for you. 

I hope you guys liked the article, In case you know of more/better places in and around Delhi then do let me know. It may just help many brides across ;)

#Guiltfree Mango Cheesecake
// By Devina

So criticism is importation part of life but what people forget is that thin line between criticizing and defaming! I am a strong believer that the best and the worst of the people make mistakes but the former ones, learn from it all and eat a cake! Today's post is part of my #Healthyeating series wherein I have created recipes, all inspired from food writers across using the last set of mangoes from the season.

Say hello to Guiltfree mango Cheesecake :)


It takes efforts, concepts and skills to get a blog-post right! It's not about an image, it's about a concept to be bale to get through people and entice them with a fancy form of writing, but anyway this post is out of sheer love, sheer love for everything sweet and my curves. Yes it was about time I  looked after my curvy tales and in this last season of mangoes, I indulged in this healthy awesomeness.  Read more for the recipe-



The lovely ingredients you need for this guilt-free cheesecake are- Parle G biscuits2 packets, you can opt for mcvities in-case you want to completely cut down on calories, you need hung yogurt 2 cups, hang it so that you get water free, creamy texture. Yogurt is the main ingredient so make sure you use a fresh one! You need mangoes 2 would suffice, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 1 tsp gelatine and sugar-free sweetness-1/2 cup. I have opted for sugar free because I am keeping a check on the additional sugar flowing freely in my body!  


There are two steps coupled in the picture above. Firstly churn all the biscuits in a mixer and add coco powder 2 table spoon in it. Add 1 tspn butter in order to get the mixture a bit gooey so that it sticks to the baking tray. Then place it on the pan like a layer. In the next step, mix sugar-free and yogurt together along with mango paste. While you add sugar, you will realize appearance of water in the mixture but dont worry just cut and fold the mix. 

Once you mix well, take 1tsp of gelatin, add 3tblspn water and heat it over gas so that the gelatin boils. Add gelatin to the mix. It helps cheesecake set well, so don't miss this step.


Pour the mixture well and put it in fridge to freeze (overnight). Your mixture will look like this and because of gelatin you will feel the mixture maybe a bit wobbly, if it is, then its perfect to set! 



Okay I know my knife skills need improvement but hey it tasted awesome. So yes once it is set overnight, garnish it with mangoes and try different patterns, like flowers or shapes as per your choice and indulge in this #guiltfree delight happily!

Supper Party at Pizza Hut India
// By Devina

Covered by Team Guiltybytes


My favorite word with the letter 'P' is Pizza and my favorite pizza place in this country is undoubtedly Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut India launched its third season of  'chef's table' in an exclusive event led by their Head Chef, Arjyo Banerjee in collaboration with Chef Luca Ciano, executive Chef from Barilla, Italy. The event had a specially created menu of the day showcasing Pizza hut's latest range of dishes inspired by the two chefs.  



It was a fun session with Chefs playing off with each other as they rolled their sleeves up and got to work making pastas fresh for all of us. It started with Chef  Arjyo preparing Red-O-Wine pasta, soon to be launched in Pizza Hut smooth, creamy and tangy- ideal for Indian palette. 

Chef Arjyo came back with a classic lasanga and then Chef Luca prepared scrumptious prawn pasta a perfect complement to the feast, were a variety of 6 appetizers, refreshing beverages, cheesy thin crust pizzas on traditional hand tossed bases, and an indulgent dessert. It's the dessert that gave us a high and it was a warm chocolate trio which was heavenly!


Chef Arjyo and his team have done a greta job in creating innovative recipes that will now be a a part of the pizza hut menu. The food, the warmth of people and a great dinner party was indeed a perfect occasion to celebrate the goodness of Pizza Hut. If you haven't gone there for a while, just mark it for this weekend and indulge in gourmet delights that will entice your pallet, asking for more!

Review Alert: Shuddh Desi Romance
// By Devina

Contributed By George Samuel 

Yash Raj Films are always ready to launch new talent and this time the team hasn't failed to dissapoint with the notable newbies on the block! With the new Indian Romantic Comedy known as Shuddh Desi Romance, Vaani Kapoor in this sweet little equation has played a pleasing and a confident role in the film but it is hard to believe that such woman still exist in our society (the movie character here boss)! 


Shuddh Desi Romance with its Indian translation into Pure Indian Romance basically deals with three most important aspects of everyone’s life-  love, commitment and attraction. Sushant Singh Rajput the rough and the rugged looking guy justifies the casual role of Raghuram, The-Boy-Next-Door. While Parineeti has essayed the role of Gayatri, details of which you will know below. The situation is a “win-win” for Raghu as both these charismatic women, Vaani and Parineti fall for him.

Gayatri and Raghuram, rebellious in nature are messed up with their thoughts in their head and that's what makes this movie exciting to watch. This story is an exact opposite to our usual Hindi romantic movies. It revolves around Raghuram who works as a tourist guide in the Pink City, Jaipur. The hero unlike the usual macho, rich men who are known to sweep off their heroines, is a basic chilled out, rough guy. 

He meets Gayatri on his way to his own wedding, as funny as that sounds, is a big twist in the movie. After all the film itself is set apart from our normal romantic movies which are popular for “Happy Endings”. Gayatri's charm, attitude and her charisma makes him go crazy! Shuddh Desi Romance also seems to have created a record for the most number of kisses, you will forget to count after a certain point. Sushant Singh Rajput has gone a way ahead than Emran Hashmi and gets the new tag of the latest “Serial Kisser”. Life is very simple and wild between Raghuram and Gayatri all throughout the movie. As normal modern day couples, there are fights, break ups to add to the twist there is also a make up with a sweet gusto.

All credit goes to Sushant and Parineeti who have played the role beautifully without any doze of overreaction. Director Manish Sharma who previously directed Band Baaja Baarat has done a fabulous job by casting Sushant, Parineeti and Vaani and the locations too are breathing taking. A romantic comedy doesn’t necessarily mean a happy ending. Watch the film and now for yourself. It’s a must watch for all youth and adults as well. Now in  cinema near you.
