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, Lumiere
L-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.

YesStyle.com Unboxing: Korean Skincare & Makeup

Hi guys,

I am a big fan of Korean brands when it comes to skincare & makeup. Their makeup has super cute packaging and pigmented and bright, pretty shades! Also their skincare is fabulous, they follow extensive routines and an average Korean girl uses 14-16 products in the morning & night separately! Can say looking at their clear, translucent skin!

I got a box full of Korean skincare & makeup products from Yesstyle.com. Yesstyle stocks all Korean brands from Missha, Etude House, The Face Shop, Innisfree, Laneige, Tony Moly,etc. It also has Japanese brands like Shu Uemura, SK-II, Canmake, etc. And not only just beauty, it has fashion items from clothing, shoes, bags, accessories to basically everything. You will be hooked onto the site for hours!

Let’s look into the products I got, I got Top 10 Best-Selling Must Try products of 2016. They have a separate Top 10 Must try products category and all these products are listed there, go HERE

  • Berrisom Oops My Lip Tint Lovely Peach
  • Tony Moly I’m Real Mask Sheet 1pc- Rice
  • Beauty People 10 Seconds Auto Pencil Eyeliner Diamond Brown
  • Berrisom Oops Tint Cheek Cushion Sugar Pink
  • TOSOWOONG Blackhead & Sebum Out Nose Pack 8pcs
  • Laneige Lip Sleeping Pack 20g
  • MACQUEEN Creamy Lip & Cheek Tint (#01 Light Pink)
  • Etude House Collagen Eye Patch
  • Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Cover & Bright Fit SPF30 PA++
  • Etude House Color My Brow 9ml

All the products are pretty interesting. I have already tried the Berrisom Oops My Lip Tint Peel Off in Lovely Peach and also recorded a video, that will be coming soon. Subscribe to my channel to stay notified.

I have tried the Etude House BB Cream before, it was in a different packaging then, read HERE. Or if this is a different variant, I am not really sure coz the name is the same. I absolutely loved that BB Cream and I would so glad if it’s the same one and the same shade.

Also excited to try the Blackhead nose pack and eye patch. My lips need the sleeping pack/mask as they are in a very dry state right now :/ I am glad I got this at the right moment.

Also both the Macqueen Creamy Lip & Cheek Tint & the Berrisom Oops Cheek Tint are soft mauve pink and everyday shades which I am looking forward to try.

I was looking for a brow mascara since a long time and the Etude House Color My Brow in Brown is just perfect. And also the Diamond brown eyeliner. Also have tried many sheet masks but I don’t think I have tried one from Tony Moly, so would try that soon. You can follow me on Snapchat (@bhumika_t) for mini reviews, pictures, experiences 😀 I share it all.

Overall I am quite happy with all the stuff and excited to try most of these 😀

Have you tried anything from Yesstyle.com? Do you like Korean skincare & makeup?

OOTD: Indian Wear with Naari

OOTD: Indian Wear with Naari

Hi guys,

I know I haven’t done an OOTD since a long time. Today I am doing an Indian wear OOTD i.e. a kurti and matching pants.

Both the kurti and pants are from Naari’s Fluid Lines Collection.

Let me tell you a little bit more about Naari first.

About Naari: Desi elements fused with contemporary styles is what Naari is all about. This love love affair is prominent in every piece of fabric designed for an overall ethnic experience. A channel for your personal style and a gateway to high fashion prêt . Integrating the modern Indian woman’s quality, design and personal taste requirements, Naari is the fusion fiesta for the wardrobe.

So as you read, Naari is a perfect amalgamation of modern and traditional. It is Indian wear with a twist i.e. fusion wear. As you can see here, the kurti I have paired with unconventional pants and not the usual leggings. They also have palazzos, wide legged palazzos, slim pants and a lot of different options apart from the conventional leggings.

And they have different collections, i.e. True Blue, Fluid Lines, Real World, Mudcals, Secret Garden, etc. where the collection revolves around a particular concept.

One can buy kurtis, bottoms, dupattas, salwar kameez and even unstitched sets on their online website. They even have Gift Cards.

About the Fluid Lines Collection: If easy-breezy, fuss-free style is your thing, Fluid Lines must feature in your wardrobe! The collection not only boasts of a tantalizing movement of a color with a tinge of shaded pattern, but also rich Lucknowi embroidery to bring the whole look together.

I absolutely loved this simple white kurti with neon pink embroidery work, also the embroidery is placed well and it’s not all over, coz that wouldn’t be very flattering. The high low hem gives it a casual yet semi-formal look. The pink slim pants also has white thread work all over. They are stretchy and very comfortable.

Also I shot this, in the rains, so please excuse the pics :/

Kurti, Slim Pants: Naari
Watch: Michael Kors
Heels: Steve Madden

I hope you liked the outfit. If you love Indian wear or fusion wear, you should definitely check out ShopNaari.com

Get the Best Household Service Experts from UrbanClap

Hi guys,

Today I am talking about one of the household service experts provider UrbanClap, I know there are many out there in the market currently. And also specifically for different sectors like alone for women’s salon services.

As far as the different local services providers I have tried, I can say UrbanClap comes with quality. I have tried their home salon services 1-2 times earlier.

What surprises me is the number of services they have, everything from Wedding Planning to Birthday Party Planning, Fitness, Salon Services, CA Services, Interior Designers, House Cleaning, Repairs,etc. You name it and they have it.

I wish Urbanclap was launched when I got married, booking a mehendi artist, wedding photographer is all super easy now thanks to an app like this. And not only app, even the website is very user friendly, for people who still prefer things the traditional way.

For any service you select, they ask you a few question to shortlist a particular sub-category and then they give you three options: Budget, Experienced and Premium i.e. increasing prices and then it asks for your location and personal details and you can get quotes from various different service providers.

You have the option of whether or not you want to share your phone number with the service providers, in case you do not want to, they can only contact you via the app. I like the fact that they have maintained privacy here.

Also love the fact that you get different budget options and a lot of different service providers within that budget. You can ask for their previous work and also check their ratings on the site/app and then decide which one you would like to go with. Service providers give you the best quote as they are competing with other service providers. So ultimately we get the best price and benefit from it.

I am keen on trying the Health & Wellness category next and would surely update you on how my experience goes 🙂

Overall, I quite like the ease of use of Urbanclap and how convenient it has made to reach the service providers by bridging the gap between service providers and us customers.

Urbanclap is currently present in Delhi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune. Also they provide a vast range of 90+ services. They are also available on Android and iOS.

I definitely recommend giving Urbanclap a try. Do let me know your experience in the comments below.

Review & Experience: VanityCube Services

Review & Experience: VanityCube Services

Hey guys,

If you follow me on Snapchat (bhumika_t), you must have seen me posting a few images and videos of VanityCube services I tried 2-3 days ago.

I have tried MyGlamm, LocalOye and UrbanClap before, and now finally I tried VanityCube. If you don’t know what vanitycube is, check their website HERE. It is basically a beauty service provider where you can book a range of beauty services to be done anytime, anywhere be it work, home, etc.

Presently VanityCube is available in Mumbai and Delhi only. They have 4-5 different packages which are available at a discounted rate and much more economical and convenient.

I went with the ‘Spoil Me’ package which has Rica wax for full hands, legs and underarms, Basic Manicure and Pedicure, Threading for eyebrows and upper lips and a Lotus Herbals Facial and Face Bleach. The services separately cost Rs.3455/- but this package is available at a discounted price of Rs.2900/-

What I loved about VanityCube:

  • The attendant Fatima came 10-15 mins before the appointment time.
  • She got me a small bouquet of roses as this was my first booking with VanityCube services
  • She got her own disposable spreads, foldable stool, extension cord and all the required things. She even had a disposable gown. Earlier all the services I had tried, they would ask me for newspaper, chair, etc. and don’t even carry a disposable gown.
  • The same attendant did everything, so there was no time gap or having two attendants for different services.
  • She was very neat and tidy, was not unnecessarily chatty and quiet good with her work.
  • I informed her about the water cut from 2-5 pm and she filled the manicure-pedicure tub and whatever water she would need beforehand.
  • She was not sure of my skin type for facial and got the kits for both skin types.
  • The massage she gave during manicure-pedicure and facial was very relaxing, she knows her work really well.

What I didn’t like about VanityCube:

  • Nothing, I loved everything and I guess it’s the first time 😀

I really liked the services and how everything was done, I am sure it might somewhat differ from attendant to attendant. I am glad I got Fatima and she was fabulous.

I went with my nailpaint- Makeup Revolution Heaven’s Above

I would just like to mention that the services do take a long time, so do not go by the 180 mins mentioned, coz it took almost 5 hours for everything, so do it when you have an entire day free to yourself. Or you can always try 2-3 individual services.

I highly recommend VanityCube, it is by far the best from all the beauty services providers I have tried, also recommend going for packages as it’s more economical.

P.S: Services were offered in exchange for an honest review, but that has not affected my review, as per usual.

Have you tried any beauty services provider? What do you think of it?

Indian OOTD: Vikram Phadnis for Nakkashi Double Layered Anarkali

Indian OOTD: Vikram Phadnis for Nakkashi Double Layered Anarkali

Hi guys,

This outfit was long, long overdue like it has been months that the shoot was just not happening. At first, the stitching, etc. took a lot of time since the outfit was semi-stitched and the jacket was completely open. Then co-ordinating with the photographers was not happening and I was occupied and then I shifted and what not. Finally we went to Jaipur and I thought it was the perfect location for this outfit, so we shot it there.

This semi-stitched anarkali dress is from the ‘Nakkashi’ line and designed by Vikram Phadnis, it was also a part of last year’s Lakme Fashion Week.

About Vintage Desi: VINTAGE DESI is the answer which modern Indian women have been looking for! We are an online boutique bringing you access to sought-after designer garments and accessories at bargain prices!

We negotiate with local designers to get you deep discounts on showcased outfits and accessories, bringing you the best possible pricing in the market on Exclusive & Brand New designer pieces available only on Vintage Desi.

Kid’s wear from designers such as Kidology ( Gaurav Gupta, Gauri & Nainika, Maya Nocon and Siddartha Tytler) and

Vintage Desi basically makes designer labels much affordable and within the reach, it’s perfect for wedding shopping and the current wedding season. You get everything from clothes to accessories to jewellery here.

I also did a small outfit video..

Let me tell you a little more about this outfit: Top: Double layered top with lycra georgette and sequin embroidery net fabric
Jacket: Chiffon net jacket, cord lace with sequin highlight
Dupatta: Chiffon beige dupatta with elegant border
Bottom: Beige color heavy crepe palazzo with badla zari embroidery work on navy velvet on border

It’s priced at Rs.9450/- which is pretty good for the work, fabric, quality, design plus the brand label. Though it being semi-stitched makes it a little difficult to customize for yourself. Like here you cannot see the palazzos because the outfit is not for my height and the jacket is way too long and even after some customization, it was not possible to cut the work below or open it completely and re-stitch it. If you completely open the entire material, it will turn out to be very expensive and than it being semi-stitched will be of no use to you.

Even after wearing heels, the work at the palazzos cannot be seen unless a person sits or twirls or something like that 😀 Anyway, I absolutely love the beige and gold color and self sequin work. The navy velvet border on the palazzos make a beautiful striking contrast. The jacket is separate and can be worn with many other different outfits. The outfit is totally worth the price!

I hope you liked the outfit and pictures, do let me know in the comments below. Also definitely check out Vintage Desi for the current wedding shopping or anything Indian wear from jewellery to outfits to accessories. You can even sell on the website.

Customise Your Look With icustommadeit

About icustommadeit.com: ‘icustommadeit’ was founded on the belief that customization is the core of any merchandise today. In May 2012 they created an online marketplace that is driven by the lust of beautiful and innovative personalization and run on entrepreneurial ethos. Retailing beautiful, handcrafted iconic stuff which is more SPECIAL and more You! Is their passion.

Why icustommadeit?
You’d be amazed how many companies don’t listen to their customers’ needs. The customers perception is not their reality. So the buyers wistfully accept the limited editions and end up paying a bomb!
In a world of stereotypes, icustommadeit is connecting the world at large to the creativity of the individual. With the mindset to help buyers and professional creators make serendipitous discoveries, offering the finest quality custom products, in an ever-expanding array of categories. Our mission is to re-imagine commerce in ways that make us dearly loved by both shoppers and sellers.

You can either buy from the variety of products available on the site and mind you, they have everything from jewellery to accessories, home decor, furniture,handmade shoes, clothing,painting,etc. or you can even get whatever you like CUSTOM MADE!

Now isn’t that amazing! There are so many times we love a particular product but don’t like the color or the glitter or an aspect in the product that could be modified. Well, now we can 🙂 That happens to me a lot as well, I hate fake diamante on clutches, clothing,etc., I completely detest it and wish it wasn’t a part of the item.

icustommadeit can alter and make things as per your liking. I absolutely love their current collection too, here are a few of my favourites..

1. Silver Merc Earrings

These gold cutwork earrings are to die for, so pretty! They can work with your Indian ethnic wear to fusion wear to gowns and so many other ensembles.

2. Foxy Eave Shoes

Open toed blue printed peep toes, they are studded with rhinestones and have a contoured footbed which makes it super comfortable to walk in. The front platform also gives support, so no more pain with heels! The print plus rhinestones give it a classy look and it would work with most of your Indian dresses and western wear.

3. Absynthe Designs Ring

Who doesn’t like vintage stuff? This double layered, leaf print, vintage chunky ring is all you need to add some finesse to your look.

4. Jaipur Watch Co.

A pretty, blue watch with real peacock feather at the centre of the dial and diamante all around it, this would look so regal with whites!

5. Red Georgette Saree

A classic red georgette saree with a heavy embroidered border. It is classy and can be worn on weddings and receptions with the right jewellery and accessories.

What are you waiting for? They are also offering a voucher worth Rs.500/- on new signups currently.

There are some things that I found pretty interesting and useful for most of us, on the website are customised leather jackets, phone covers,personalised gold jewellery and furniture.handmade shoes, funky sneakers,etc.

Also a lot of gift items like bike cufflinks for your biker friends, a doctor keychain for your doctor friends/cousins,guitars, bespoke pens, etc.

Overall, icustommadeit is a must visit whenever you are looking for something special, exquisite or a gift for someone. I highly recommend checking out icustommadeit for all your custom needs.
