I got a few more things from FemmeLuxe, do you remember my previous haul? See HERE
The collection is very trendy and apt for curvy girls.
About the collection: From head-turning evening and going out dresses to cute n’ chilled casual day dresses, shop every style from slinky and bodycon, to crepe and bandage. Going out, Everyday Slay, Special Occasion, Date Night, Just Chillin…they have dresses for everything
They also have shoes and accessories like belts, bags, corsets, hair accessories and even some beauty items.
There is a separate trend section where they cover collections as per current trends like ruched, corsets, slogans, snake print, student style, etc.
I picked these 4 things..
1. Peach Frill Sleeve Jumpsuit
I love the colour of this jumpsuit, peach is very fresh and summery. The frill sleeves are also pretty. It doesn’t fit me well and is slightly tight though, especially at the crotch area. I will have to check if it has seams inside.
2. Black Button Up Belted Blazer Dress
This dress is so hot! I love how it curves the body, I wish it was a little longer though. Blazer dresses always look smart and this one is just perfect.
3. Blue Satin Button Up Tie Front Shirt
Satin shirts are a classic, this is my favourite piece because it is so versatile and can be paired with a lot of things from pants, jeans, skirts. I love the bright blue colour, it instantly adds a pop.
4. Button down Denim Dress
This is the cutest denim dress, I wore it with a white crop top inside, again can be paired with a lot of things. Casual cute chic is how I would describe it. Also can wear white sneakers for a more sporty vibe or heels and a fancy top for something more glam.
My favourites are the denim dress and satin shirt. I loved the peach jumpsuit and black blazer dress as well but the size and fit are an issue for me.
They cover all sizes till 12 and some till 14. The quality is pretty good for the price and I will definitely be buying more from Femme Luxe. And I do recommend it.
I went to Bangkok in December and since I was there only for a day and got just few hours to shop, here are the things I bought..
Daiso Brown Mat Tray
Daiso Pink Jewellery Organiser
Daiso Eyebrow Pencil
Daiso Brown Eyeliner Pen
Daiso Eyelash Glue
3 pairs of False Lashes
Set of 3 Facial Razors
Daiso Makeup Brush Cleanser
Mini Tripod
All the things from Daiso were 60 THB (i.e. Rs.112/-) In terms of organisation stuff, it was heaven! They had so much and I didn’t have space, so had to restrict myself. It’s like a dollar store, so everything is flat 60 bahts mostly, and then in denomination of 60. It’s a Japanese 100 yen brand/store, I so wish they come to India and have the flat 99 price, that would be amazing. They are in talks with Reliance Retail to enter India and I hope that happens soon.
Then I got two Mistine products from Beauty Station..
Mistine 3D Brows Secret Eyebrow Set – Around Rs.500
Mistine Eye & Lip Makeup Remover- Around Rs.400-450/-
There was a Wet N Wild Kiosk and I got 4 things from Wet N Wild, which was very reasonably priced.
Wet N Wild Mega Glo Contouring Face Palette Rs.560
Wet N Wild Eyeshadow Single Brass- Rs.185
Wet N Wild Megalast Lip Colour Bare It All- Rs.260
Wet N Wild Eye Pencil in Calling Your Buff Naturel- Rs.223
And lastly I got the DHC Deep Cleansing Oil. I have heard so much about this and I am glad I finally found it. It’s a much raved product and deep cleanses your pores and removes makeup, dirt, grime, everything from your pores. This was a little on the expensive side, costing around Rs.850-900 but the quantity is pretty good. They also gave a few samples.
That’s it for beauty and makeup part. I got a lot of food items i.e. candies and knick-knacks which I will do a separate food tasting video for, on my YouTube channel.
I hope you liked the haul, do let me know your favourite item in the comments below 🙂
#MACxMickeyContractor Indian Beauty Essentials Natural Makeup Look, Tips & Tricks
Hi guys,
So towards the end of March, I attended a session with MAC Cosmetics where Mickey Contractor, Director of Makeup Artistry, MAC India and celebrity Bollywood Makeup Artist, taught us to create a flawless base and a step by step Natural Indian Look!
I was so stoked and happy, I had no idea till I reached the venue that we had to do it step by step with him and he would be teaching us. I thought it was a regular event where the video will be unveiled, etc., but no, we saw the video and we created the whole look on ourselves with Mickey checking each step and teaching us how to do it correctly.
The video came out today and hence I wrote this post half way through earlier and saved in my drafts, because many of you asked me to share the tips and tricks and I thought I should jot them down quickly.
Here is the video..
So here are few tips and tricks Mickey taught us:
Always moisturise your face and undereyes before starting with your base. Mickey recommends MAC Studio Moisture Cream. He even mixes it later with the foundation when he needs a sheer look.
Spray MAC Fix Plus after the Moisture Cream and then start with concealer/corrector.
Everyone has dark circles and that is completely natural. If you try to layer too much of concealer and powder, it will only look ashy and settle in fine lines and crease. So correct and conceal once, go over the concealed area with a foundation and set with powder.
We used the MAC Pro Conceal and Correct Palette and he made us mix the concealer and both correctors on our hands to get the perfect match first. And then apply it on the dark circles. It made world of a difference. I mixed the corrector and concealer directly on the under eye area and applied it on one half and it was still looking ashy. I used the Medium palette which had shades close to and lighter to my skin tone. And the lighter concealer was making the dark circles look ashy. He made me take the yellow and orange corrector and the concealer shade on the back of my hand from the Medium Deep Palette, mix it in and add more untill I got the perfect peach. And then I applied it to cover dark circles, it was a perfect match!
He usually goes for the same color or a darker concealer for the under eye area and then covers that area with foundation for a seamless, even toned base.
Always match the foundation to your neck and body and in natural light only. Wear it through the day to check if it oxidizes and then go ahead and buy your perfect match.
Dab powder with a sponge on the under eye area and the T zone and take excess off with a brush. Never swipe concealer/powder. Always dab!
Take your eyelash curler till the base of the lashes and press and release the curler till count of 10, hold for 3-4 seconds and leave. Voila, you get amazing well curled lashes.
To define your cheekbones, apply blush in a slight slanted upward motion and just for a flush of colour, on the apples of your cheeks.
Dab the sponge on your highlighter to blend it in with the skin and take it slightly around the under eye area as it should not be a stark slanted highlighted line on top of your cheekbones and look seamless.
Always apply foundation on the neck if you are doing your whole face or just apply foundation partially like only on T zone and problem areas. There shouldn’t be a stark/visible difference between face and neck.
Clean and natural base using minimal products is his USP. He doesn’t like sharp contouring and highlighting, bold brows and all that you see on YouTube and Instagram these days.
He has done numerous Bollywood movies and magazine covers especially Aishwarya Rai, Kajol and Rani Mukherjee’s makeup and you can see how he loves a clean base, natural look and dark kohled eyes. He is a master of the Bollywood Smokey Eye.
In this video, he teaches a Natural Indian Look with a light smoke of kohl which is perfect for summers.
I used these products to create the look, as shown in the video..
MAC Pro Conceal & Correct Palette in Medium Deep
MAC Studio Fix Fluid NC37
MAC Cream Colour Base Hush
MAC Eyeshadow Embark
MAC Modern Twist Kajal Cat’s Meow
MAC In Extreme Dimension Lash Mascara Volume
MAC Mocha Blush
MAC Lipstick in Half n Half
MAC Brushes 217 and 168
The Conceal & Correct Palette helps you mix and match the exact amount of concealer and corrector till you get your perfect shade. This palette is also a must have if you are a makeup artist or do your friends and family’s makeup.
MAC Conceal & Correct Palette Medium Deep
Embark is a matte deep brown eyeshadow with red undertones. It is a perfect shade for a wash of colour like we have done here or for a soft smokey day time look, smudging it with a black kohl pencil underneath. We have used the Modern Twist Kajal in Cat’s Meow, which is the black shade as kohl on the waterline. If you like jet carbon black kohl, you can go for Squid. Gently smudge Embark on the lower lash line to merge the kohl and shadow. Flick the kohl slightly to create a wing like effect. Tightline with Cat’s Meow
Mocha, Hush, Embark
MAC Blush in Mocha is a matte soft peach colour which is very flattering on Indian skin tones, fair to medium especially. MAC Cream Colour Base in Hush gives a very soft and subtle highlight and can also be used all over eyes as a base or to highlight brow bone and inner corners.
MAC Half n Half Lipstick is a satin finish nude brown, I absolutely love this shade. It reminded me of Maybelline My Mahagony which was my favourite nude and was discontinued later on. But I highly recommend Half N Half if you are looking for a good, everyday wear nude shade.
MAC Half N Half
I love how simple this look is, and yet pretty and polished. Clean base, neutral tones and kohl rimmed eyes, suitable for any occasion and works for everyone.
I hope you liked this post and found it helpful. Do let me know your thoughts in the comments below.
US Haul: Sephora, Kat Von D, ABH, Becca, Elf, LA Girl, Colourpop
Hi guys,
So a few months back, my husband had gone to US for his work and obviously I had to order a few things 😀 This haul is long pending, I had to record the video and click pictures and hence the delay. I haven’t used any of this yet because I wanted to click pictures :/ Yes, I know I have too much self control!
Here’s what all I got from Sephora:
Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champange Pop (Becca x Jaclyn Hill collab)- $38
Sephora Cream Lip Stain 13 Marvelous Mauve – $14
Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Lipstick Rio – $20
Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick Lolita – $20
Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick Lolita II – $20
Now I wanted to get the Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit which had 4 highlighters and it was $40. But Champagne Pop was on my wishlist since a long time and I love Jaclyn Hill! Considering the price of Champagne Pop and Glow Kit, Glow Kit was obviously a more economical option as you get 4 different highlighters and just one here. It was a tough choice but I went with Champagne Pop 😀 I will get the Glow Kit sometime later
Kat Von D Lolita and Lolita II are her best selling shades and I see why. Both are super flattering and would work on any skin tone, be it warm or cool. In terms of formula, Kat Von D Liquid Lipsticks are the most comfortable liquid lipsticks I have tried till now. They are not at all drying and super comfortable, though they don’t last as long as the drying ones.
Anastasia Liquid Lipsticks are very drying and accentuate the dryness and lines on the lips. But they are easily the most long lasting liquid lipsticks and also have some bright, fun shades. I got the shade Rio which is the brightest and most neon pink I own! I got it only for the shade! It’s such a fun, summer colour. I am totally into bold shades and liquid lipsticks right now
And lastly, I have heard so many good things about the Sephora Cream Lip Stains and again they are very comfortable and not drying. I love mauve shades and this one is a perfect, everyday wear shade. Also one of their best selling shade again.
I got the Fresh Skincare Set samples free at Sephora.
Then I ordered few things from Colourpop and Amazon.com.
Here’s what I got from Colourpop:
Colourpop Ultra Satin in Toolips
Colourpop Ultra Matte in Are & Be
Colourpop Ultra Matte in Privacy Please
Colourpop Ultra Matte in Trap
Colourpop Ultra Matte in Chilly Chilli (discontinued)
Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in Bae- $5
I got all liquid lipsticks mostly, I am obsessed with Colourpop Liquid Lipsticks as they are the most economical option and you get a ton of shade options. At $6, I highly recommend Colourpop Liquid Lipsticks! If you want something long lasting, then Colourpop Ultra Matte formula and if you want something comfortable, then Colourpop Ultra Satin formula. I go by shades mostly, coz both the formulas are ok with me. If I like the shade, I order it. And I have majority Colourpop Ultra Matte in my stash.
Ultra Satin in Toolips and Frick N Frack
I placed one more order on Colourpop when one of my cousin was coming from US in December. You can order Colourpop directly from their site as they offer worldwide shipping but since Colourpop is pretty cheap, there will be customs duty levied on it. All liquid lipsticks in India, i.e. Colorbar, Chambor, etc are 900-1000, so they compare the prices and levy duty on it.
Ultra MattesBae
My 2nd Colourpop order:
Colourpop Ultra Matte Zipper
Colourpop Ultra Satin Frick N Frack
Colourpop Ultra Matte Set in Blues Baby which has Smitten, Avenue, Notion, Play Date and Mink – $25
And finally I got a few things from Amazon:
LA Girl Pro HD Concealers in Orange, Creamy Beige and Toast
I have been wanting to try the LA Girl Pro HD Concealers since a long time, though there is not much of a price difference in India, I just thought of ordering them too since they were definitely cheaper. They are $5-6 in US online and even less in some stores and here around Rs.550-600, so the difference is not huge. I got orange for color correcting dark circles, creamy beige as my concealer shade and Toast for contouring.
Elf Baked Highlighter in Blush Gems is an exact dupe of MAC Highlighter in Soft and Gentle. So obviously, I had to get it! Maybelline Highlighter stick is not yet launched in India and I wanted to try it, so I got that. Stick highlighters are cream based and very handy to carry around and travel with to.
Of course I read all reviews and ordered all items which are good and raved about. So if you want to buy anything from these, trust me it’s good and go ahead 🙂
Huge Makeup Geek Haul: How to Buy, Prices, Shipping, etc.
Hi guys,
So I did this huge Makeup Geek Haul a few months back and was caught up with something or the other and couldn’t post this. I had to click pictures, so I didn’t use anything and I was dying to use them!
Finally I got around clicking pics and doing this post. I would be doing another post for swatches as there are way too many pictures in this post already.
I am mentioning a detailed description of each product, prices, how to buy, etc. in this post.
Starting with the Full Spectrum Eyeliner Pencils..
Claims: Define your line. Ultra creamy and richly pigmented, Makeup Geek Full Spectrum Eye Liner Pencils apply effortlessly to create a vibrant display of color on the lids. Choose from a full spectrum of color—available in 10 dynamic shades.
All our Pencils are Cruelty Free — we do not test our products on animals
I have the shades Ocean, Mint and Orchid which are very unique and beautiful! Just pop this on your lower lashline when you don’t feel like doing much and you will still stand out. I highly recommend getting the Nude one too for the waterline.
They come with a matching body and are easy to identify. They need to be sharpened though.
Best part about Makeup Geek website is they have very good swatches of all their products on different skin tones.
Coming to eye shadows which is Makeup Geek’s best selling product till date..
Claims:
These are all highly-pigmented – just check out the swatches!
Half the price of high end shadows without sacrificing quality
These pans can be placed in empty palettes such as Z-Palettes.
Eyeshadow pan weight is 1.8G / 0.064 oz
With a separate palette, you can build your own custom palettes (and save the extra cost and the plastic that eyeshadow compacts bring)
All our shadows are cruelty-free — we do not test our products on animals
Makeup Geek eye shadows are super affordable and have amazing quality! Easily comparable to MAC, Anastasia, etc. which are very highly priced. They have all the shades possible and you will find all MAC eye shadow dupes in Makeup Geek. I would anyday recommend getting these over a high end brand.
If you are just starting out with makeup/eye shadows, I have bought these basic nine shades which everyone should have in their vanity. So if you are confused and don’t know which shades to pick, go for these nine 🙂 I have done a lot of research before zeroing on these shades, so you can trust me.
I got the shades..
Creme Brulee
Cocoa Bear
Shimma Shimma
Moondust
Cosmopolitan
Bitten
Corrupt
Frappe
Mocha
I also picked a few foiled shadows. If you already have all basic ones and are looking for something fancy or need 1-2 foiled to work along with the basics, I would recommend these.
Claims: With these rich and intensely-hued shades, the new Makeup Geek Foiled Eyeshadows go beyond your standard line of cosmetics, introducing you to a new and powerful cosmetic experience. This cutting-edge formula offers a creamy texture that is a hybrid between a powder shadow and a cream shadow that is on a level of its own. The intense pigmentation combined with an opaque, metallic finish make these shadows a dream to work with. These can be applied effortlessly in just one swipe with no primer required! Our lineup includes a diverse array of rich colors and a smooth silky formula that we believe help elevate pressed eye shadows to the next level of exceptional quality.
These are all highly-pigmented – just check out the swatches!
These pans can be placed in empty palettes such as Z-Palettes.
Eyeshadow pan weight is 1.8G / 0.064 oz
With a separate palette, you can build your own custom palettes
All our shadows are cruelty-free — we do not test our products on animals
Makeup Geek also has pretty good blushes and contour powders, again all in pans. You can pick up the pans and an empty palette and make your own eyeshadows/blush/contour complete eye and face palette.
They also come in compact individually. In compact they are priced at $15 and the pans are priced at $10.
Claims: Get cheeky! Soft and subtle to bright and bold, Makeup Geek Blushes blend effortlessly into the skin to add the perfect dose of radiance to your cheeks. Their finely milled powder guarantees a smooth, buttery feel and a flawless application, every time. Rich pigmentation combined with a fade-resistant formula offers buildable, long-lasting color. This Talc-free formula is also great for sensitive skin
These are all highly-pigmented – just check out the swatches!
Half the price of high end blushes without sacrificing quality
Blush pan weight is 4.25G / 0.15 oz
All our blushes are cruelty-free — we do not test our products on animals
All Makeup Geek powder products are majorly talc free and hence they are more creamy and pigmented and don’t give crazy fall outs or feel patchy.
Coming to the contour powders, many people contour with a bronzer which is warm toned and that is fundamentally wrong. Though you can make it work, there are no rules. But a warm toned darker powder will warm up and bronze the skin for a sun kissed look. For contouring or creating a shadow or cutting the face as pro call it, you need a cool toned powder which is slightly ashy or grey. Not too much or it would look muddy. There is a very thin line in between and very few brands and products get it right.
Makeup Geek makes both warm and cool toned powders for all different skin tones, so you can pick whatever suits you best.
Claims: Super soft and buttery smooth, Makeup Geek Contour Powders blend like a dream and have been specifically designed to accommodate skin tone extremes and everything in between. From the lightest of light, to the deepest of deep, we have your shade. Choose from a complete lineup of 8 unique shades—four with warm undertones and four with cool undertones.
These are all highly-pigmented – just check out the swatches!
These contours are Talc and Paraben-Free – great for sensitive skin!
Vegan
All our contours are cruelty-free — we do not test our products on animals
Both the blushes and contour pans are 4.25g which is huge and enough for a lifetime even if you use them daily!
I got Complicated and Infidelity.
And finally I have some sparklers in the shades Zodiac, Solstice and Stargazer
Claims:
A sparkle beyond compare, Makeup Geek Sparklers go where no cosmetics company has gone before! Loose, reflective particles create a glitter-like effect that is out of this world.
For maximum impact, Sparklers are best applied with an eye-safe cosmetics adhesive. A galaxy of gorgeousness awaits—light up your universe with Makeup Geek Sparklers!
Completely Eye-Safe: Uses Reflects to create a Glitter effect
Jars fill weight is 4G / 0.14 oz
All our Sparklers are cruelty-free — we do not test our products on animals
They are also Talc and Paraben-Free
Price: $10 each
Now many of you had questions related to shipping and customs. Makeup Geek ships worldwide and they use either Mail Service i.e. normal post and UPS i.e. Expedited and more expensive. I opted for Mail Service and it took me almost 2 months to receive it. Mail Service cost $8 to $12-13 depending on the weight and UPS costs $40-41.
I had to pay customs of Rs.250-300 which is pretty reasonable for so much stuff. Again if you order less, you might not have to. Customs duty cannot be predicted though.
I would highly recommend shopping from Makeup Geek. It’s a paradise for eye makeup lovers especially. All Makeup Geek products are top notch in quality and they keep adding new shades and new products. They have recently launched highlighters which are again fabulous!
I will do swatches of all these in a separate blog post, as it would be too image heavy.
P.S: Happy Holi! This is my kind of Holi 😉

Feelunique Haul : theBalm, Real Techniques, Rimmel
Hi guys,
I got a few things from Feelunique.com a few months ago. I had filmed this video earlier but if you don’t already know, I have got a fracture recently and hence it took some time to edit, etc.,
About Feelunique: Feelunique is a UK based website which stocks all international brands from Real Techniques, Sleek MakeUP, NYX, Maybelline, Benefit, theBalm, Rimmel London, etc. They have 1000’s of brands under them. They offer free shipping all over the world above £60 and £15 shipping below that. But even if you buy 2-3 items, you can easily cross £60.
Also they have a lot of offers from time to time and free Gifts with Purchases. Only disadvantage I would say is customs and since that is not fixed or cannot be determined, it is a bit of risk.
I got 6 items out of which one item was missing. I paid Rs 950/- customs on rest of the 5 items. Let’s see what all I got..
And the item which went missing was the Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lipstick. I wanted all of these items since a really long time! They were on my wishlist! And I am so glad I got these.
I hope you liked the haul, do let me know in the comments below.
First Colourpop Haul, Review, Swatches | How to Buy in India
Hi guys,
Finally I am sitting down to write this post, I know this took forever and I am really sorry. In fact, I bought more Colourpop after this but will include it in a separate US haul post.
For now, let’s start with this. I wanted to try Colourpop since a long time but they did not ship to India. Once they announced they are starting international shipping, I had my wishlist ready and as soon as they started it, I tried to place my order and I got the shock of my life! Shipping was $25! Yes, my order was $30 and shipping was $25 which is close to double. Obviously I didn’t want to spend that much and many people complained on social media regarding this, Colourpop replied that they have flat rate shipping of $25 so you can order more items for same shipping amount.
If in case you have to place a huge order or 2-3 friends are combining an order, then buying directly from Colourpop made sense. Since I didn’t want to place a huge order as that attracts customs and wanted to just try a few things initially, it was not very economical for me.
Enter ‘Ship Out From USA‘. Magali did an entire video on them and explained how to use it, you can watch the video HERE.
Basically what they do is, they create a virtual USA/UK address for you and you can use that address to place order on any website which does not deliver to India directly. They will receive the items, repack it well and send it across to you. Like an intermediary, and of course it has some charges.
Charges without the discount are a little high, but I have a huge 40% discount code for you all i.e. “NEWLOVE40” (code to be applied on the Ship Out From USA website, not on merchant website) This code will not have an expiry period! So you can use it anytime and to buy from any website, valid for both virtual USA and UK orders. I would definitely suggest make use of it during sale periods (Black Friday sale is coming soon) and also ‘Free Shipping within USA/UK’ above certain amount.
That way is turns out to be pretty economical. After the 40% discount and using Ship Out From USA, it was pretty decent a price to pay for Colourpop considering all sellers here have a good amount of margin and it turns out to be much cheaper than that.
Also all Colourpop products are $5 and $6, plus they are very high quality and full of pigments! From eyes to cheeks to lips, all products are full of pigments and are long staying!
So let’s see what all I got in my first haul..
T-B: November, Point Zero, Beeper, Lumiere
I have been using some of the products since quite some time now, especially the lipsticks. I got one from Lippie Stix ($5), two Ultra Satin ($6) and one Ultra Matte ($6). And I also got one eyebrow pencil ($5), one creme gel liner ($5), three Super Shock eyeshadows ($5) and one Super Shock cheek highlighter($8).
Now the eye and cheek products of Colourpop are very buttery and should be used only with hands, especially eyeshadows. You cannot get the colour pay off with brushes. Also they break easily, I got one eyeshadow slightly broken when it came but then their nature is such, that will easily break even if dropped once. And also their products dry up pretty quickly if kept open, so they mention to close the lid pretty tight!
So I got two Ultra Satin Lips in November and Point Zero from the recent KathleenLightsxColourpop collaboration and the Lippie Stix in Lumiere from her previous collaboration. I love Kathleen Lights and all the shades she created in the recent collab were pretty amazing, so I had to get these! Apart from these, I got the Ultra Matte Lip in Beeper which I wanted since a long time! That shade is gorgeous and a must have!
The Lippie Stix are like a matte chubby lip crayon but much more creamier and pigmented. They stay for about 3-4 hours and longer without eating or drinking. The Ultra Satin Lip also stays for about same time, but it is a proper liquid lipstick formula which is completely matte. But fortunately they are not drying. Ultra Matte is drying but stays the longest and is the most pigmented!
L-R: November, Point Zero, Beeper, LumiereL-R: November, Point Zero, Beeper, Lumiere
Lumiere is a dusty mauve pink
November is a mid tone warm peachy pink
Point Zero is a cool toned grey brown
Beeper is a warm mid tone taupe
The eyeshadows I got are So Quiche, Nillionaire and LaLa.
These swatches are just one swipe each! Also I tried hard to capture the exact colour, but the shades are gorgeous and the camera was just not picking up the exact colours or doing justice to the shadows.
The eyeshadows are so creamy and the colours are gorgeous! They are very different and unique with a beautiful combination of reflects.
So Quiche
So Quiche is ansoft olive with a highly reflective gold and pink violet glittery duo chrome metallic finish
Nillionaire
Nillionaire is warm bronze with tons of gold and multi coloured glitter in a Metallic finish.
LaLa
LaLa is a satin finish rose gold
L-R: So Quiche, Nillionaire, Lala
And I also picked the Brow Pencil in Bangin Brunette which is the perfect shade for my dark eyebrows and hair. I love the fact that it has spoolie at one end which makes it very convenient to use and you do not need extra brushes. And I wanted a nice, nude eye pencil for my waterline since a long time and my search ended at Colourpop Creme Gel Liner in Honeydude which is a perfect peachy nude for my waterline.
Highlighters are my weakness, so I had to get one highlighter! 😀 I picked Lunch Money which is a gorgeous soft light gold shade with reflective duo chrome. This is one shade which will work for a lot of skin tones from light to medium. It will be a little light for very dark/deep skin tones. It is super buttery and creamy and very pigmented, absolutely love the shade!
And the quantity is huge! I think only the highlighters are a little more than their usual $5 and $6, but even for $8 the quality and quantity is amazing!
Here is how a few shades look on me.. (First is November, then Point Zero and Beeper)
I absolutely love each and every thing in this haul and highly recommend each of these! You can just close your eyes and get these, for the price, they are amazing!
Also you can trust on my research that I would pick shades after spending hours in finding out the best shades 😀
Also Colourpop has free shipping above $50 and $4.99 below that just for 3-4 days currently, if in case you want to get something, right now is the time 😀 Or else my 40% off Ship Out From USA coupon code ‘NEWLOVE40’ is valid forever and for everything you want to buy from US/UK.
I paid around $51 for everything (they have $5 off for new registered members) plus the shipping through SOFU was around 2000 which came to about INR 1200 after the 40% discount. So in total around INR 4500 with shipping for everything. But I would highly suggest placing the order in the next 1-2 days if you are really planning to get something, coz of their free shipping offer 🙂
What is your favourite? Let me know in the comments below.
So I shopped a lot of things recently, this is the first haul video, I believe more are coming soon 😀
Since Myntra is on App and Forever 21 was bought in the store, I am not mentioning those. I have already mentioned the price of all the items from there in the video.
I got some stuff from Nykaa and Amazon, it’s been a few months though that I recorded this video. I was waiting since a long time to upload it coz it was something or the other coming up in between.
Sorry I forgot to use the mic in the first half, so the focus noise 🙁
Let’s see what all I picked from Nykaa.com
Whisper Sanitary Pad Ultra Clean XL Wings (30S) – Rs. 310 La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+ Corrective Unclogging Anti Imperfection Care (40ml) – Rs. 1300 Free La Roche-Posay Effaclar Gel Maybelline Color Sensational Pink Alert in POW4 3.9gm – Rs. 425 L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Moist Matte Lipstick in Spring Rossette 4.2gm – Rs. 740 (On discount :p) Colorbar Definer Lip Liner in Berry Rose 1.45gm – Rs. 599 Tangle Teezer Compact Styler Detangling Brush- Purple/Black – Rs. 1099 (It’s expensive :o) Hill Fresh Grapefruit Rush Body Wash 200ml – Rs. 199 Oisis Make Me Happy Bath & Shower Gel 300ml – Rs. 249 2 of Bare Essentials Nail Polish Remover Pads – Rs. 198 (99 each) Lux Velvet Touch Moisturizing Body Wash 100ml – Rs. 120 Vega Premium Eyelash Curler – Rs. 99 Fair & Lovely BB Cream 9gm – Rs. 49 Basicare Self Holding Rollers Large (Pack Of 4) – Rs. 200 Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser – Rs. 95 Aroma Magic Turmeric Cleanser – Rs. 135 Christine Valmy Val Clean II 50ml – Rs. 195
And coming to Amazon.in, if you have noticed Amazon started with their luxury beauty department where they stock all high end brands. I got a chance to try out the luxury beauty department and this is what I got:
Kama Ayurveda Mridual Soap-Free Facial Cleanser 40g- Rs.295/- Forest Essentials Kashmiri Saffron and Neem Delicate Facial Cleanser 200ml – Rs. 975
I wanted to try these both since a long time but never really went to the store for just 1 product and you know how it is with Forest Essentials, once you go into the store, you want everything and get confused most of the times 😀 I am glad we can buy these Luxury Beauty brands including a few which are not available in India, on Amazon.in now 🙂
I hope you liked my haul, do let me know if you want any specific review first. I will try and use them before, coz there are still a few reviews in line already :/

Sleek Chain Layered Collar Necklace- Silver
And some random stuff..
Floral No Show Socks
Filigree Masquerade Mask (which broke a bit in transit :()
Superman Locket Charm (I got confused and thought it was with the locket :/)
Yes, all of the above was for $1 each 🙂 I hope you liked my haul. And I am sure, many of you are tempted to shop now, and you should, coz it’s a steal and you save on a lot of bucks!
They have a flat rate shipping of $3.95 within US,$5.95 for Canada and $9.95 for anywhere else in the world. They use normal post and I received the package in 22-23 days. Also, they were no customs charges and I don’t think customs would be levied on them, since they are quite cheap with every product just $1 untill you are ordering something worth $100 or more.
