August 2015 My Envy Box Review & Discount Coupon

August 2015 My Envy Box Review & Discount Coupon

Hi guys,

Time for the beauty boxes of this month. Today I am unboxing and reviewing the July My Envy Box, I have also created a video for the same, so do check that out.

Read more about My Envy Box HERE and check out all the previous reviews HERE.

MRP: Rs.850/- (Available HERE)

This month’s packaging is different, the theme is ‘India Mon Amour‘ (which means ‘India My Love’ in French) and all the products are natural, herbal and organic. It is an oxblood red box with golden design on top depicting ancient India figures. August box is all about skin care and fragrance this month and something for the eyes.

It also has a separate card this time, apart from the product card, which has 5 ayurvedic skin care tips.

Forest Essentials details are missing and the 5th skin care tip is mentioned, a little goof up

Contents of my box:

  • Hedonista Oudh Frozen Ittar- Full size (Rs.1045/- for 20g)
  • Soultree Ayurvedic Kajal Pure Black- Full size (Rs.350/- for 3g)
  • Suganda Neem Green Tea Mask- Full size (Rs.900/- for 60g)
  • Forest Essentials Iced Pomegranate & Kerala Lime Body Mist- 50ml (Full size Rs.1475/- for 100ml)

I think by now you are convinced why this is the BEST MY ENVY BOX till date?! Well, the value of the four products in this box is Rs.3032/- and you are getting the box for Rs.850/- (Rs.722 using the below discount code :D)

Also coming to the products, I love everything in this box. The Hedonista Frozen Ittar is all natural and organic made with coconut oil and pure ittar. It is so convenient to carry and comes in this small jar. You need just a teeny weeny bit and the smell lasts for 7-8 hours minimum!!

I have got 2-3 small pimples and it is actually the perfect time to try out this Suganda Neem Green Tea Mask. It is in powder form and you can mix it with rose water or normal water and just apply it and wash off. I can’t wait to try this, have liked Suganda products untill now.

I wanted to try the Forest Essentials Iced Pomegranate & Kerala Lime Body Mist since a long time and I got it in this month’s box! Yay 😀 I absolutely love the smell and it is the best body mist I have tried, it just absorbs into the skin and leaves behind a refreshing smell. I have tried body mists from Bath & Body Works and Victoria’s Secret too, but nothing beats this Forest Essentials one!

Coming to the Soultree Kajal, I already have 2-3 of these including one colored. I find the colored ones a bit dry in texture and these black ones are nice but as usual smudge a lot. So not too keen on the Soultree Kajal, but a full sized product is always good.

The 4th product is an option between Forest Essentials Body Mist & SkinYoga scrub, now I would have liked both 😀 But anyway, not being greedy, I am in love with this month’s My Envy Box. There have never been 3 full sized products and one deluxe sized (which is actually HALF) sample ever any of their boxes.

Book you August My Envy Box now, you are getting much more than your value for money.

Buy the box HERE, also you can use the coupon code ‘NEWLOVEMAKEUP‘ during checkout to get extra 15% off, which would bring down the cost of the box to Rs.722/-! I love you too :p

March Fab Bag Review + Giveaway

March Fab Bag Review + Giveaway

Hey guys,

Remember Vellvette Box..it was the first beauty box in India. Later on, it changed their name and revamped to Fab Bag.

About Fab Bag: At FAB BAG, we are beauty experts and addicts driven by our passion for high quality beauty products and delightful service. We recognize that our members are beauty enthusiastic women looking for great products that would work for their specific beauty needs and tastes, but do not have enough time, access or resources to try out and experience all that is available. We work hard in association with brands to select 3 amazing products exclusively customized for each member and send them in a delightful box to her doorstep every month, so that she never has to make the expensive mistake of buying products that do not work for her! We also advise members on how to make the best use of these products and keep them abreast of the latest beauty and fashion trends and insider know-how through our magazine.

MRP: Rs.599/- per month

You also get discounts on 6 months and 12 months subscription. Currently they are giving a Deborah Milano Atomic Lipstick free with 6-months subscription and Clinique Blush/Eyeshadow mini palette with 12-months subscription. Subscribe HERE

I love the concept of bags how they have a different customized bag each month according to the monthly theme. Also these bags are pretty useful and handy for travel,etc when you want to carry some basic makeup/skincare

For the month of March, they have a Woman’s Day Special Fab Bag. It’s a cute bright pink pouch with a Coco Chanel quote and also they are running a campaign called #MakeupForDifference where you can leave a message here http://fabbag.com/makeupfordifference/ and for every message, Rs.50/- shall be donated on your behalf to these inspiring Fab Women.

Let’s have a look at the contents of my March Fab Bag:

  • Inveda BB Cream in Fair- Full size (Rs.140/- for 15ml)
  • SoultTree Kajal in Pure Black- A special 3g packaging (Rs.340/- for 5g)
  • Palladio Herbal Lipstick in Rosey Plum- Full size (Rs.650/-)
  • Sebastian Professional Hydre Shampoo- 50ml (Rs.1400/- for 250ml)
  • Fashionography Earrings

To start with the Inveda BB cream, its quiet nice and good for everyday use. Only issue being just 2 shades available: Fair and Matt

I have tried the SoulTree Kajal before, the Pure Black is much smoother than other colors which go on a little hard. Also its all natural and organic made from ghee and camphor, but if you are looking for something smudge free, this won’t help at all.

I loved a full sized lipstick in the bag, though I wish I would have got some other matte shade. This shade Rosey Plum has shimmer and I am not a fan of shimmer.

I like the Sebastian shampoo deluxe size and would be carrying it for my next travel.

Absolutely loved these cute butterfly blue earrings from Fashionography.

Overall, some hits and misses. Though more of hits for the price of Rs.599/-. I absolutely recommend giving Fab Bag a try.

Coming to the giveaway now, one of you lucky one wins this March Fab Bag. I am hosting a giveaway for the same,on my Instagram.

All you need to do is follow me HERE and Fab Bag on Instagram and repost the first image tagging 2 of your friends. The giveaway starts right now and ends after a week on 25th March.

Good Luck 🙂

SoulTree Rose & Vetiver Ayurvedic Shower Gel Review

SoulTree Indian Rose & Cooling Vetiver Ayurvedic Shower Gel Review
What the Company claims: Organically cultivated Indian Rose known for its skin smoothening qualities is collected at dawn to make pure Rose water. It is then blended with the cooling extracts of Vetiver (Khus) and luscious Aloe to make this aromatic āyurvedic bath gel, a soap-free, soothing and skin toning cleanser. Complementing this blend are essential oils that add a soft floral note to your bath experience.

Use: While showering, use the gel with a natural loofah or a bath sponge and rinse. It is gentle enough for repeated and everyday use.

This shower gel is Free from SLS/SLES & Parabens

It comes in a slender plastic bottle with a flip cap..and the bottle can be pressed to remove the product..its a light brown hued thick transparent gel and lathers well with a loofah..though does not work with my Body Shop Bath Gloves 🙁 Same as the case with Auravedic body wash which was SLS free..I do not mind using a loofah for a chemical free natural option 😀
