La Senza Store Review and the Show Off Collection

I was invited to review the La Senza store and their latest Showw Off Collection..I had mentioned about the new collection HERE
I went to their Phoenix Marketcity store which is also their biggest here space wise..I had been to the launch of this store before and Deepika Padukone had inaugurated it..read HERE
       

La Senza offers women a unique shopping experience with outstanding lingerie presentation in a beautiful and intimate environment, featuring everything from bras & panties, to sleepwear, loungewear, bodycare, and accessories.

The store looks girly at the same time vintagey..the walls painted with quirky messages and pics..and the whole display of stuff around..

Coming to the Show Off Collection, they have divided into three bras Balconnet, Plunge and Demi and into three styles Babydoll, Merry widow and Bustier

These are the Balconnet..

The Plunge..for those deep plunging gowns 😉

And the Demi..which covers half..

All bras from the Show Off Collection have removable pads as per the Indian requirements..ahem..and they are multi way..and can be worn in 7 different ways..this collection is one investment I tell you..

They currently have an offer running on Majorbrands..as to buy 1 and get 2nd for Rs. 500/- and also buy 5 for Rs. 3000/- on a few..which is a super deal..

Lightly Lined Collection

So Free Collection
The nightwear..100% cotton..it felt super comfy and light..

I liked the fact that they have in store fitting measurement and they have selected pieces for trial just outside the trial room in every size..so that all bras are not tried out by all customers..they have a 10 day replacement thing too for bras..for panties there is no trial obviously for hygiene reasons..

And all the sizes are arranged below in drawers with stickers and sizes mentioned just below the display so that the customers can themselves find it too, just in case..

They have this cute and girly card holder pack thing to keep the gift card..and some round pink tins with bows and stuff..

Overall it feels super girly and sexy being around laces, animal prints and polka dots and such vibrant colors and patterns..believe me it does ! 😉

Diana Penty in Cocktail

I was quite excited to watch Cocktail and saw it on the first day..though the movie is quite ok..you can watch it once just for the styling..amazing work by Anaita Shroff Adajania…hats off

I loved Diana’s styling the most..though Deepika was hot..Diana’s style was more wearable and relatable..she wore cardigans, jackets, polka dots, stripes, checks..from the punjabi Delhi girl entering in salwar kameez, her style evolves better and better throughout the movie..

She had her hair open throughout in almost all the scenes..with the front bangs pinned in some and a side braid in some..

As far as her makeup is concerned, she had an au naturel look..her base was very light and minimal..she does have a good skin..

She has thick kohl on her upper and lower lashline throughout..the kohl is smudged on the upper lashline with some soft brown eye shadow blended in..muted gold in some scenes..and lots of mascara especially on the upper lashes..

And a peachy pink lipstick with a matching blush..and a MLBB shade in few scenes..

P.S: She being a Maybelline Brand Ambassador..says she loves and uses the Maybelline Colossal Kajal and BB Cream..and also likes the Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation.

I love her minimal, effortless, natural look..Do you ?

So go ahead and fill your eyes with that dreamy look, as you browse through pages filled with intricate designs that glitter at you and leave your heart yearning for more.

They have a huge variety in accessories..I was so loving everything while browsing..one can get confused easily..

They stock everything from Necklaces, Bangles, Cuffs, Earrings, Rings,Sets, Pendants, Chains and even accessories for men like chains or cufflinks..they have fancy belts and lockets and even the vintage designs..

The best thing about the site is, everything is reasonably priced..they are not priced double than what their actual amount is, unlike a few sites..

They offer a coupon of Rs. 500/- on signing up..which can be used in two parts i.e Rs. 250/- off each time on a purchase of Rs. 1000/- and above..which is 25% off..quite a decent deal.

They accept all forms of payment including Cash on Delivery but there is an extra charge of Rs. 100/- for COD..which I feel is high..though they have Free Shipping..and all with tracking..and I received the stuff in one day.

Here are some of the things I liked along with their prices..

Turquoise Rose Diamond Necklace Set- Rs. 492/- (Its in 5 colors- Purple, Grey, Green and Bronze..and I am so loving each and every color…these would look super awesome with a sari )

Pearly Wave Collar Necklace- Rs. 208/- (though not exactly a collar necklace)

Loopy Necklace- Rs. 343/-

Wood Braided Necklace- Rs. 384/-

Intricate Carvings Ring- Rs. 328/-

Hanging Pearl Earrings- Rs. 391/-

Marigold Wristband- Rs. 283/- (Super gorgeous)

Dose of Shell Wristband- Rs. 263/-

Chunky Party Bangles- Rs. 148/-

Multicolour Dotted Bangle- Rs. 153/-

Are’nt the prices super reasonable and the stuff awesome..this website is a boon for people who do not have places like Colaba Causeway and Linking of Mumbai or Janpath and like of Delhi..you can get some of those cool accessories delivered right at your doorstep..

Here is what I hauled..

Frilled Beaded Bracelet

Summer Colors Bangles

Pearly Collar Necklace

It came in a plastic ziplock for each and the bangles and bracelet were inside a plastic box…all covered with lots of bubble wrap around.

But I guess most of the stuff are single pieces..coz I do not see the stuff I got on the website now..and that is a con ofcourse..well we all won’t those gorgeous stuff, right 😉 I would suggest adding more pieces of the same item and reducing the extra charges for Cash on Delivery..other than that..I have no issues at all..and I am surely coming back for more..(the Rose Diamond Set and the Marigold Wristband 😉 )

In other news, I am totally loving Cocktail songs ‘Tumhi Ho Bandu’ and ‘Chadi Mujhe Yaari Teri Aisi Jaise Daaru Desi’..how many of you like it ? Does’nt Diana Penty look pretty and promising ? I hope the movie is nice too..

P.S: I got a voucher to shop for but that has not affected my opinion of the site.

I loved the mustard yellow color..and the red and blue work on it..that looks so bright and nice..and I love those round cane handles too..the only issue is..I expected it to be a little bigger in size..this is very small..but nonetheless..enough space in for some daily stuff !
