    Beauty Essentials To Have In Your Bag This New Year’s Eve

    Hand cream

    L'occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream

    A moisturising hand cream will ensure that your hands look nourished and hydrated throughout the night since your hands second to your face are the most visible and hence should shine bright. Pro tip: Opt for one that is quick-absorbing, hydrating, has a subtle scent & especially comes in a mini size.

    Glossy lip balm

    Indie Wild Dewy Lip Treatment Glazed Jalebi

    The key to fitting all your essentials in your mini going-out purse is to carry multi-functional products. A hydrating lip balm can easily champion on its own and also become a glossy topper for any lipstick.

    Mini Perfume

    Jo Malone London Peony & Blush Suede Mini Cologne

    Throwing in a mini-perfume is a MUST when packing your purse for the night. A practical way to stay fresh even after hours of dancing. Just adding some discreet spritzes sporadically through the night will ensure you always smell amazing.

    ⁠Mouth spray or mints

    Perfora Super Fresh Mouth Spray

    The party season comes with a repertoire of drinking & munching, and while it paves the path to set the mood right, it can also lead to bad breath. And that’s when the mouth spray or mints lying in the back of your purse become an undoubted essential, ensuring you’re always ready for close conversations or a little mingling.

    Blotting paper

    Shiseido Oil-Control Blotting Paper

    Everyone wants to shine & glow when the camera flashes at the parties, but not with excess oil. So our recommendation is to keep the blotting paper handy to effortlessly dab away any excess oil and look your best.

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    Chairperson RPSG Lifestyle Media

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.

    The fact that it comes with band, baaja and baraat — what's not to love?And that is the reason our first issue celebrates:
    THE NEW BRIDE.
