Reviving 50’s fashion: Skirts in vogue this Summer
By Ankita
1.
The 1950s: World war is just over and people’s mind seep with liberated ideas and view. It was also a time of transition for the fashion world. Women, now venerated from preconceived ideas of feminism now opted for more of an outlandish look, never ignoring the classy quotient.
2.
The Vintage Era: Welcome aboard the vintage era. Fashion at this time was marked by a rather girl-next- door yet glamorous look. The dressing style of the 5o’s always fascinated me, however, what really caught my attention were the skirts
Flirty Fashion: SKIRTS
Playful, innocently flirty, these twirl-y pieces of fabric are a must-have in every girl’s wardrobe, what I believe. Skirts have gone through some major transformations over the years, however, no one wore it better than the 50’s ladies. Here are a few trending ideas that will make you the girl-next-door diva, without making it look as if you just jumped out of a medieval circus. Want a bit classy elegance wrapped in playful fashion? Stay tuned mon cheries
A. The Play Date: Full Circle skirts
These skirts were an everyday essential for women in the 50’s. Full circle skirts have a waistband just above the natural waistline, giving an illusion of thinness. They make the hips look fuller and waist smaller, and are absolutely figure flattering.
3.
4.
Colours to go for this summer: Aquamarines, pastel shades of salmon and pink would suit the look best!!
Team it up with: A pair of light salmon peep toes and animal print tees and you are all set for your play date
B. For the ‘Not-so- girly-yet- girly’ Girl: Half Circle Skirts
Not the Barbie girl? This one’s just for you. A little less flashy than full circle skirt, half circle skirts have less flare at the hem. Women with naturally fuller hips would find it extremely flattering. Somewhere in between an A-line and a full circle skirt, these skirts are perfect for an everyday outing and even official parties.
5.
6.
Colours to go for this summer: Tan brown, off-white shades with tiny symmetrical prints and especially shades of royal blue look best on these.
Team it up with: A pair of ballerina flats or Jelly shoes ( tan colors look best) and high-neck soft cotton blouses which are a few shades darker than your skirt. There you go, my sweet tomboy!
C. Paris is always a good idea: Poodle skirts
Poodle skirts are an absolute favourite of mine!! They remind of the streets of Paris and famous song ‘La vie en rose’. These are one such style statement that has lasted the decades. They come with very catchy embroideries like kitties, Eiffel tower, telephones and even, statements such as ‘See you later alligator’
7.
8.
Colours to go for this summer: Without a question of doubt, baby pinks, Fuchsia, and light greys!!
Team it up with: A pair of cone heels or stilettos. Keep the top simple as your poodle skirt deserves most of the attention. Casual half sleeve blouses or even a very simple, tucked in, semi-formal shirt would go well with it. And your carriage is ready mademoiselle….
D. For ‘always chasing the ice cream van’ girl: Gathered Skirts
Hands up for how many of you are still stuck up in the school age! Me for sure. This one is for “I do not care what they think, I will have my ice cream" personalities. These look fabulous on women without much natural hip since the bulky band gave instant curves.
9.
10.
Colours to go for this summer: When it comes to gathered skirt, it is more about the print than colour. Big bright prints on the hemline, light summer checks in shades of blue and pinks suit the look best. However, you can pretty much experiment a lot with gathered skirts.
Team it up with: A pair of oxfords or kitten heels, a few shades lighter than your attire. Buttoned up shirts in very pale and light shades compliment this look very well. Go and get your ice cream girl!!!!
E. For the Lady of the house: Pencil Skirts
Who said pencil skirts can be boring and stereotypical?? Pencil skirts are one of the most figure flattering attires on the face of the earth! However, a modified version of pencil skirts are sheath skirts which are more comfortable. But my favourite version of pencil skirts are mermaid skirts or fishtail skirts. They balance out proportion beautifully well and suit almost all body shapes
11.
12.
Colours to go for this summer: As opposed to the usual black and grey, go for burnt oranges and teal colours this summer.
Team it up with: A pair of really good pumps and formal shirt, even a t-shirt. Top it off with a pale pastel colour blazer and you are all set to work, work, work, work…work.
F. For the Bay Watch Babe: Gypsy skirts
The world is going gaga over boho fashion. However, did you know that the gypsy style skirt comes from a long lost lineage of tiered skirts? Also referred to as layered skirts, these are perfect for beach outings. Long, flowy and mystic when combined with the right accessories and top, they make you look like a Greece-ian Goddess and is a win-win over bikini anytime any day. Period.
13.
14.
Colours to go for this summer: Shades of pastel pink, salmon, cool light brown and sea-green would rock this look. However, the fabric is most as it needs to be extremely lightweight and flowy, with a hint of shimmer, to give you that mythical iridescent look.
Team it up with: A chiffon crop top or halter neck with a bejewelled neckline will complement these skirts best. A pair of gladiators, add on some boho trinkets, are you a goddess of the seas or what??!!!!
Who said classy can’t be sassy? These were my ideas of 1950s fashion revival with a little bit of my own twist. What are yours?
Any suggestions, comments, and ideas are always welcome 🙂
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 🙂
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 😉

Indian Wedding Dresses for Bride’s/Bridegroom’s Sister
By Sanchita
Wedding is just not the special day for the bride and groom, it is equally special for Bride’s/Bridegroom’s Sister. Every sister would want to deck up and to choose the best outfit for her brother or sister’s wedding. Well, gone are the days when saree and lehenga are the only options. Indian Wedding is generally all about the rich culture and traditional outfits but if you want the spotlight on you, you must check out the variety of outfits. Also, while choosing you have to keep in mind that the outfit should look apt and not clash with the elaborate outfit of the bride.
Wedding day means the crazy surrounding with variety of preparations. And, choosing an outfit to match your body and personality is another job altogether. There is a variety of ethnic options available to you to rock your brother or sister’s wedding. After all, you are the bridesmaid! Let’s have a look at the wedding dresses.
1. Lehenga with Embroidery Work
I recently saw Sonam Kapoor wearing a gorgeous off-white lehenga with golden embroidery work for her cousin brother Akshay Marwah’s big fat Punjabi wedding. the color was soothing yet was glamorous. It had a regal feel and needlessly to say, Sonam carried it off like a diva. She paired the look with golden jewellery, a braided up-do and subtle makeup. This is surely an outfit goal for the bride’s/bridegroom’s sister.
2. Floor Length Anarkali Suit
Floor Length Anarkali Suit makes a wonderful wedding outfit for the sister. It is inspired by the royal opulence of the Mughal era and radiates every bit of grandeur, ethereal charm and beauty. You can easily pair it up with statement jewellery and glowing skin. These floor length anarkali designs can be done in pretty colors, beautiful designs and intricate art work and lovely motifs as well. Currently, floor length anarkalis have created a major fashion statement across the globe as a wedding outfit.
3. Floor Length Indo-Western Gown
Gown is extremely popular in the western world as a wedding outfit but the classy Indo-Western Gown is an ethereal combination of east and west. Various Indian designers have created their own version of Indo-Western Gown and it is nothing but stylish. You can go bling or for softer colors like pink, yellow or coral. Pair it up with glowing skin and bold lips.
4. Half-lehenga Saree
Indian wear is always classy but when you fusion one with another, it is nothing less than outstanding. The Half-lehenga Saree is a combination of the saree and lehenga and is considered as one of the perfect traditional wear for weddings or parties. It has modernized styles on the runway with the conventional lehenga and some fantastic adjustments. Simply drape a choli around to give the impression of the saree.
5. Lehenga
This is one of the one of the oldest and obvious choice but as they say, old is gold. This is one of the most popular choice and you would find a variety of design when it comes to lehenga. If you want to stick to the ethnic ensemble. It adds an elegant touch to the look and you can either go for heavy jewellery or heavy makeup.
6. Lehenga with Jacket
A jacket for Indian wedding? Of course! Your fashion sense and style has to be on point when you sport the Lehenga with rich embroidery Jacket with it. It is a great time to experiment and this is a style that would surely turn heads. It is a great way to modernize Indian traditional wear and has a conventional charm as well. The Lehenga-Jacket is easier to carry as well with the right kind of makeup and hairdo.
7. Off Shoulder Top with Traditional Long Skirt
Off shoulder trend is ruling the western world and outfits, therefore, why not add some Indian traditional touch to it? Pair up an Off Shoulder Top with a beautiful traditional statement necklace and long skirt. Make sure that the skirt is flowy, has embroidery and traditional touch to it. This would easily balance out the Off Shoulder Top and add a wonderful contemporary touch to the ensemble.
8. Saree
This is one of the most popular choice as well. Saree has been worn at every Indian wedding and all you can do is choose the fabric carefully that would look nice on you and compliment the look. Needless to say, this is one of the safest choice as well. Also, saree can be drape in various ways as well.
9. Lehenga with Cape
Regular lehenga designs have gotten an upgrade in terms of style and silhouette over the years. The beauty of overflowing, floaty vibe of lehenga and cape is phenomenal. It has such gorgeous ensemble and it will definitely make to stand out in the crowd. Pair it up with Maang Tikka and bangles and see how dazzling it looks.
10. Long Jacket and Dhoti Pants
This is one stunning combination for a traditional outfit. The Long Jacket and Dhoti Pant with traditional design has the touch of Indo-Bohemian style to it. it is detailed with every bit of elegance, sophistication and richness of Indian traditional outfit and you can easily flaunt this for reception as well.
11. Saree Gown
This is one of the hassle free outfit and when our favorite celebrities flaunted them with such grace and elegance – you have to try this traditional outfit rolled with a modern touch.
12. Palazzo Suit
Palazzo pants were extremely popular in the 1970s and it made a comeback as a western outfit. Well, now you can wear it traditionally as well – paired with a traditional suit. The heavy work kurta along with a dupatta with match up extremely well with palazzo for a wedding.
Editor’s Note: Loved all the outfits Sanchita, very nice and helpful compilation.
Suit sets look pretty good whether in office or just casual everyday wear and some even for family get-togethers and light functions.
Also the best part about suit sets is that you can mix and match them and wear the bottom and dupatta with your other kurtis too.
I think suit sets are amazing for office as they look formal but are yet comfortable and pretty. I found some pretty good suits for women online.
Here are my picks..
1. Off White Cotton Kalidar Suit Set
I absolutely love this! White always looks pretty, more so with florals. This red floral print on the white dress with the white net palazzos and red geomtric print dupatta makes for a perfect combination.
2. Peach Cotton Kalidar Suit
I love the color peach, this one is perfect for summers. Kalis look elegant and feminine and the matching churidar and crushed dupatta go well with it. The kurti has gold work towards the bottom, and this is something which you can wear for family functions too.
3. Turquoise Straight Pant Suit
Again a beautiful pastel turquoise color with bursts of other pastels in it, perfect for summer. The straight fit style gives it a Pakistani suit look. Makes for great office wear.
4. Orange/Pink Cotton Kurta Set
Orange cotton voile printed kalidar kurta with embroidery on the placket, paired with solid churidar and printed pink dupatta. I love orange and pink combination. The geometric print in pink on the orange kurta overall with the mirror work on the border of the dupatta and the neckline of kurti merges really well.
5. Blue Cotton Leheriya Churidar
Leheriya printed straight fit blue kurta in cotton voile paired with white churidar and printed dupatta bordered in pink. Leheriya is evergreen, something that will never go out of trend. The crushed white and blue dupatta with the pink border looks very pretty.
These were some of my picks, as you saw some had basic color churidhars and dupattas too which you can combine with your other kurtis. I feel 2-3 of these suit sets are must have in our wardrobes.
Sivanna Colors Shining Star Shimmer Brick Review, How to Use, Where to Buy
By Sanchita
INTRODUCTION
Highlighters have becomes an addiction. No matter how many I have – be it in liquid form, stick or pressed or powder, all I want is that blinding glow on my face. The only thing missing from my collection was the infamous Shimmer Brick. Shimmer Brick is surely a multi-purpose product which can be used in various ways – like blush, bronzer, highlighter, eyeshadow, etc. I didn’t want to splurge on Bobbi Brown or Revlon in that case and decided to pick up the dupe in Sivanna Colors. Here’s my review on it and the various ways I use this Shining Star Shimmer Brick.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – Be a radiant star by applying to cheek bones or light dusting all over.
High quality ingredients with silky glossy shine color.
Can be used as an eye shadow or blush when you swirl it together.
Best in class professional cosmetic brand.
Perfect for both professional use and personal use.
PRICE – Rs. 400 for 7g (Price varies from store to store)
MY REVIEW
The packaging is exactly like the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick. It comes in a matte black cardboard box with a transparent top which enables you to see the shades for yourself while purchasing. The Shimmer Brick is encased in a sleek glossy, sturdy black square box with a transparent lid. There are 5 rows of shimmery colors which you can use individually or swirled together. The packaging is very basic but not travel friendly as it has no mirror or applicator at all. Otherwise, it looks pretty decent.
When all the colors are swirled together, it gives a light warm bronze color which is perfect for highlighting the medium to dusky skin tones. You can also use the shades individually as per your choice. The single shades are as follows –
1. This is white gold color. When you blend it slightly, it looks like a beautiful champagne color and when blended even more, it turns golden.
2. It is a pale pinkish shimmery color. A great highlighter for pale to fair skin tones.
3. This is a light reddish shimmery bronze, which can be a shimmery bronzer for fair skin tones.
4. A warm shimmery champagne color. Great for highlighting warm skin tones.
5. A dark shimmery bronze color. This is the perfect highlight for deeper skin tones.
The pigmentation is surely commendable. I hardly require double swipe using this as a highlighter. The formula of the product is soft and has the creamy to powder kind of a touch.
Thus, the product is extremely soft to touch. It blends into the skin like a dream and the glow is unbeatable. It doesn’t feel chalky or gritty on the skin at all. The shimmers are slightly loud and this isn’t a highlighter for regular use unless you can use it sparingly. On the other hand, the highlighter is the perfect pick for night outs, events, bridal occasions and photography. It gives a blinding glow to the skin and works like a charm.
The staying power is also good. It stayed on me for around 5-6hours and the best thing is that, it never smears or transfers onto the full face and thus you won’t look like a disco ball. It is extremely easy to use and blends well. It is also easy to remove as well.
The 4 ways of using the highlighter –
1. As a shimmery eyeshadow. You get the option for 5 gorgeous shimmery shade.
2. As a bronzer for different skin ones.
3. Mix little bit of shimmer with moisturizer or liquid foundation to get that glowy skin. However, use it sparingly.
4. Dab the shimmery color of your choice on the lips to have the ‘metallic’ lips effect.
Where to buy –
Kolkata – New Market, Shop ray and Shahoo, B14
Delhi – Impressions, Karol Bagh
Instagram – Fashionstorm 321
WHAT I LIKED
Compact packaging.
Great dupe for Bobbi Brown/The Body Shop/Revlon
Multipurpose
Gives a blinding glow to the skin.
The shade 02 is best for medium to deeper skin tones.
Good color pay off.
Soft and smooth texture.
Blendable formula.
Good staying power.
Affordable.
WHAT I DISLIKED
Availability is an issue.
No mirror or applicator.
Excessive application will make you look like a disco ball.
RATING – 4.5/5
OVERALL – The Sivanna Color Shining Star Shimmer Brick is surely one of the most affordable and quality highlighter for beginners and those who doesn’t want to splurge. It has various uses and I would highly recommend the product for the quality it delivers.
Editor’s Note: This looks so good! Many of you have been asking for a highlighter below INR 500, I guess this is absolutely perfect!

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.
