The best part of being a Desi bride is all the goodies we get in our bridal trousseau, including makeup! If your hubby or his family need a few pointers on what to include in your trosseau, send them an email about Cargo’s Hands of Hope Eyeshadow. The jewel-encrusted box is simply gorgeous and has nine lust-worthy shades perfect to match with those saris and salwar kameezes you’ll be rocking at all those post-wedding dinner parties! Each eyeshadow has a decorative ‘hassa’ hand design mimicking the design on the palette cover.
The palette also makes for a great Bridesmaid gift, especially since it’s only $29!
