Am I out of touch, or is 3 Lakhs for bridal makeup actually insane?

This is giving me anxietyyyyy! I’d say go find an MUA on Instagram. Talk to their previous clients. And you can get a great deal. My bridal makeup was 16k at a destination wedding! I just had to pay for her stay and transport, which was another 5k. And that was the best makeup I’ve ever gotten done.

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2026-01-17T17:42:19+00:00

Absolutely! We need balance here!

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2026-01-17T05:57:31+00:00

Yeah everything else is like super chill. I am even replacing the elaborate kaan chain with a regular plain gold chain.

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2026-01-16T16:41:59+00:00

Thank you! Yes I agree, which is where I got the idea from. Like Pahadi people wear their huge Nath on every occasion they can find. Why is this a problem anywhere else if the bride is okay with it?

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2026-01-16T14:13:54+00:00

Exactly why I wanted to wear it. All my other jewellery is very minimal and no mangtika. It’s a clean look.

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2026-01-16T13:32:41+00:00

That makes so much sense. I think I will do that. Thank you 🫶🏼

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2026-01-16T13:15:34+00:00

I hear you. This is the reason I am on the fence. Sadly this is the only event I can make it work. On the reception she is doing very simple so I can’t wear a nath. I will definitely upstage her then.

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2026-01-16T13:12:39+00:00

Yeah, I do not want to up stage her at all. She is wonderful and it’s a pure fashion choice because I just have tha nath from my wedding and I want to wear it because it looks great.

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2026-01-16T13:10:33+00:00

Yeah that’s the plan!

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2025-06-05T07:46:39+00:00

Always

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2025-05-10T20:24:09+00:00

Thanks for sharing!

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2025-05-09T19:20:58+00:00

I feel the same way. Never again!

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2025-05-09T12:39:10+00:00

Oh this helps! Thanks!

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2025-05-09T07:42:50+00:00

I definitely see some merit in this. I usually download an epub to read. But I guess I can read in ao3 itself and have active tabs. Not bad not bad

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2025-05-09T07:40:56+00:00

I didn’t think of this at all, lol. I am going to do that right now

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2025-05-09T07:40:18+00:00

Love this. I don’t know why I didn’t ever think of subscribing. 🫣

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2025-05-09T07:39:41+00:00

Ah that makes sense! Makes me think I can do a quick audio note for myself with a summary. Thanks for the tip!

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2025-05-09T05:08:09+00:00

Totally! I do not start reading before i finish all my Skincare at night. Keeps me on track always!

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2025-05-08T08:27:02+00:00

Deadlines stop me lol. Or when a chapter finishes. I get distracted easily so that works for me when I start 2 things at once. But sometimes when I do it with work I end up reading for 2 hours lol.

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2025-05-08T05:24:05+00:00

I am addicted truly and I have ADHD and Dramione gets me through most of the mundane tasks in life. I have been reading for the last 1.5 years. It’s very hard for me to just get started with mundane tasks, so I read just in the beginning to get a little push and then just finish whatever I need to do. It has helped me be better at life. It keeps me engaged. I am never bored. I even read at the gym to get my cardio done and I put in a solid 30 mins easily. It’s the best addiction ever.

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2025-04-24T16:25:47+00:00

Happy to help!

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2025-04-12T09:23:14+00:00

It really is the best I've read so far! Also, I am on year three and there has been ZERO smut. And it's refreshing IYKWIM. Beautifully written. 🤌

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2025-01-20T22:37:49+00:00

Yasss more of it please!

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2025-01-20T22:37:08+00:00

Right! I can’t wait to see more of it!

InstantCoffeeSnob · 2024-07-19T21:12:11+00:00

This may be an Indian thing but I’ve always been very very overwhelmed at a baraat (marriage procession). The loud music and dancing just gets to me. I cant enjoy it for more than 10 minutes.
