March My Envy Box Review

Hey everyone, if you don’t already know about My Envy Box..read HERE
My Jan box HERE
My Feb box HERE
So coming to the recent March box which I received few days back..its a peach colored box again..they had planned a nice orchid color..the Pantone color for this year..but due to some issues..they could not use those boxes.

And also in this March month’s box, 10 lucky people have got Pipa Bella jewellery ! Are you that lucky one ? I am not :/

MRP: Rs.850/- per box every month

You know how the products come inside this cute colorful cloth pouch..and there are cards for the products’ name and discount coupon to buy the full sized from their site,if you liked the samples.

This time there was an additional card of 20% off for Pipa+Bella jewellery..
Products I received :
  • Eminence Organics Sour Cherry Whipped Moisturizer
  • Issey Miyake Leau Dissey Homme Sport samples
  • Narciso Rodriguez for her samples (Smells amazing !)
  • Avene Thermal Very High Protection Sunscreen SPF50 (5ml)
  • Rene Furterer Okara Protect Color Radiance Enhancing Shampoo (15ml)
  • Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask samples
The two perfume samples are tooo tiny..I would have liked small vials instead..I have never colored my hair..so the Rene Furterer Color Protect Shampoo is of not much use..I already have the full sized Innisfree Volcanic Clay Pore Mask..so nothing new to try there..only loved the Sour Cherry Moisturizer and Avene Sunscreen (5ml) also lasted about 3 uses.
 
I loved the Feb box the most..not too impressed with this one..I hope April has something better in store..I am waiting for those new makeup brands 😀

Dresses For The Mother of the Bride
Guest Post
Dresses for the mother of the bride are a very important part of pulling together a wedding. While the wedding parties may be large or small, they cannot go on without the mother of the bride. The mother of the bride is the person who must look the most stately. This means that she should be in a dress that allows her to look her best without looking matronly. The best mother of the bride dresses are the dresses that allow the lady to look sleek and slim without making her look to flamboyant. Many times, this is a hard fit to make because there are not many dresses on the market that will help the mother of the bride look her best.
The bride who wants her mother to look her best at the wedding can learn more by investigating the best types of dresses for her mother to wear at the wedding. This could include long, draped dresses that are slightly fitted to shorter dresses that are not quite as fitted and everything in between. The combination of the right fit and length is what is going to the mother of the bride the best look possible when she is sitting at the wedding and all during the reception.
The best gowns for the mother of the bride also must give her a color scheme that is going to look nice with the theme for the wedding. Without this connection to the theme of the wedding, it is hard for the mother of the bride to fit in at the wedding, and it is very important for her to fit in when she is the person who is one of the most important people at the ceremony.
Also, the mother of the bride must be in a gown that allows her to look her age without making her look too old for her personal taste. The best gowns of this type are going to flatter the lady’s figure while also giving her a chance to accessorize and look amazing. Many mothers of the bride look amazing because they choose a gown that is easy to accessorize and even easier to fit into once the big day comes. These gowns are of vital importance to the lady who must look her best and support her daughter on the biggest day of her life.

Estee Lauder Introduces The Metallics New Pure Color

ESTÉE LAUDER INTRODUCES THE METALLICS NEW PURE COLOR
 
A brilliant new expression of color featuring the cool sheen of metal and the liquid light of lacquer
 
“When it comes to color, there are no limits. I like to have freedom. Metallic makeup does that.”
Tom Pecheux, Creative Makeup Director, Estée Lauder
 
Imagine an incredible combination of the highest reflective shine and intensely desirable color to make eyes, lips and nails smolder – introducing The Metallics, a NEW Pure Color Collection from Estée Lauder. This surprisingly versatile collection of metallic finishes breaks boundaries and transforms like never before, with liquid-like shadows that saturate eyes, vinyl finishes that lacquer lips and hyper-chromatics that accessorize nails. Whether soft and pretty or bold and sexy, The Metallics uses a variety of unique reflective finishes to bring a new level of sophistication to multi-dimensional color.
METALLICALLY MAGNIFIED EYES
 
Play in a new dimension of amplified color with NEW Pure Color Instant Intense EyeShadow Trios. Like molten metal, the liquid-like texture melts onto the eyelids for a high-definition chromatic color impact. A creamy, silk-like formula glides on effortlessly releasing pure, brilliant color that stays true for 10 hours without creasing or fading.
 
The dazzling eyeshadows instantly transform from a soft powder to a silky liquid-like texture using slurry technology to give the powder a unique silk-satin feel.True Vision™ Technology – a crystalline (polymer) laminate magnifies and amplifies color for intense clarity and vibrancy, while a unique blend of optics capture light for a reflective flash of shine.
 
Designed to be applied dry for a refined look or wet for a high metallic finish, the NEW Pure Color Instant Intense EyeShadow Trios infuse metallic into any look for an added dimension of sophistication. Featuring three brilliant shades, each trio is a total eye look in one: base, contour, and highlight for mistake-proof application.  Extremely blendable and color-true, the expertly coordinated shades look stunning on all skin tones and range from soft chrome shimmers to dramatic metallic finishes.
 
LIQUID MOLTEN LIPS
 
NEW Pure Color High Intensity Lip Lacquer drenches lips in an array of seductively rich lacquered hues, from sultry nudes to daring wines.  Combining the creamy coverage of a lipstick and the high-shine of a gloss, this opulently pigmented lacquer creates a lusciously brilliant and glass-like finish. Estée Lauder’s True Vision™ Technology provides the ultimate color payoff, while multi-functional polymers seal in moisture and form a color stay barrier to keep brilliant color and impeccable shine looking fresh, supple and vibrant for a long-lasting 6 hour wear. A new moisture-infused formula also replenishes lips for a rich, cushioned feel that radiates from within.  For application, an exclusive paddle, with a bell curve design, dips in the center creating a reservoir effect to release the perfect amount of lacquer that glides onto lips with precision.
 
A hybrid of vividly rich color and brilliant metallic shine meet in six NEW Limited Edition Pure Color Vivid Shine Lipsticks. Exclusive True Vision™ Technology provides rich color that wraps lips in lustrous shine, while a tri-complex of refined metalized gold and silver pearls envelop lips to create an amplified chromatic finish. This high-impact fusion of pigments and pearls create brilliant shades that work across all different skin tones, while the moisture-rich formula keeps lips feeling soft and conditioned all day.  
 
CHROMATICALLY HUED NAILS
The evolution of heavy metal reaches nails in a unique brushed, reflective finish with the NEW Limited Edition Pure Color Vivid Shine Nail Lacquer.  Born out of a fusion of refined pearls and aluminum platelets, this new high-impact finish saturates nails in a flash richly pigmented chromatic color.  The multi-faceted spectrum of color-enriched metalized shades range from dusty rose gold to smokey deep platinum, creating a new dimension of confident style and expressive attitude.

Post Holi Biguine Kérastase Hair Ritual at Jean-Claude Biguine Salon
So I did play Holi and my hair was definitely affected even though I had oiled it..and even though I had played only with colors..those colors are pretty drying dude..
 
And I had to wash my hair thrice to remove the color..that made the hair all the more drying..as the essential oils on the scalp which moisturise the scalp are also lost with frequent washing..
 
I definitely needed some hair pampering..and got to try this hair ritual at the perfect time..

Jean-Claude Biguine had post Holi Biguine Kérastase Hair Rituals..its like a detox for the hair..here is the official press release:

Indulge in the Biguine Kérastase Hair Ritual at Jean-Claude Biguine Salon and Spa

There’s no better day than Holi to let your hair down and indulge in some colourful revelry. So, don’t let it end on a sour note with hair woes. Post the chemicals and colours, indulge in the Biguine Kérastase Hair Ritual at Jean-Claude Biguine Salon and Spa for healthier and beautiful hair.

Hair can turn brittle and extremely dry if color remains in it for a long time. The Kérastase hair treatments provide shine; they moisturize and condition the hair, and help in repairing all types of hair damages. The Kérastase Chronologiste Caviar Ritual uses mimetic caviar pearls and special creams to nourish hair and make it feel softer, stronger and more lustrous. It is an excellent choice for deep conditioning of hair and scalp. Kérastase Ultime Liquide-Gold Oil Ritual provides instant radiance and deep nourishment to all types of hair – making it intensely shiny with a weightless touch. The Monodose Ritual is an express treatment that is offered primarily with a hair-wash. A Monodose Ritual for dry hair nourishes hair and makes it soft to touch.

The Kerastase hair rituals begin at INR 1500++ up to INR 2500++. The services are available across all Jean-Claude Biguine Salons & Spas, in Mumbai and Bengaluru.

To avail of the Biguine Kérastase Hair Ritual, book an appointment at your nearest salon.

Our present locations: Mumbai Bandra: 022- 65222211 | Colaba: 022-22153311 | Juhu: 022-66995555 | Kemps Corner: 022-66501111 | Khar(W), Linking Road: 022 26462626 | Lower Parel: 022- 65113311 | Lokhandwala: 022 – 65653300/22| Ghatkopar : 022- 25171700  Bangalore | Phoenix Market City, Whitefield: 080-67266666 | Lavelle Road: 080 – 41514000

So I went for this hair ritual..you must have seen my pic on Instagram, if you follow me. I was assisted by Zara.

And after checking my hair, she suggested the Kérastase Chronologiste Caviar Ritual for me..as my hair was slightly dry. I also asked her the difference in three and which is meant for which type of hair, and she explained well. 

Chronologiste Caviar Ritual is meant for normal to dry hair
Ultime Liquide-Gold Hair Ritual is meant for all types of hair
And there is one more..Signature Kerathermine which is meant for extremely dry hair

She explained the whole process in Chronologiste Caviar Ritual and how its not real caviar..since real caviar is super expensive and they cannot use it world wide as vegetarians and vegans would have an issue with it..so its basically artificial caviar..made up with vitamins, etc that are beneficial and hydrating for the hair..

Durations: 1.5 hrs

Price: Rs. 1500/- for Ultime Liquide-Gold Oil and Rs.2500/- for Chronologiste Caviar and Signature Kerathermine

Procedure followed:

1. My hair was checked first and after suggesting the Chronologiste Caviar Ritual, we started off with it..

2. Hair was shampooed twice with Kérastase Nutritive Bain Satin 1 Shampoo..and towel dried.
3. The caviar was crushed and mixed well with the creme and applied all over the hair in sections..each strand at a time.
Artificial Caviar
Caviar and Creme
Mixed together
4. Then head and neck was massaged..and I was like sleeping on the chair..it was so super relaxing…Zara has magic in her hands !

5. Hair was given a mist (indirect steam) for 10 mins.
6. Washed hair again with plain water.

7. Kérastase Elixir Ultime Serum was used generously and hair was dried giving a cold blast and once normal blow dry. (no styling)

And this is the before and after..

I am telling you this pic does not do any justice to how my hair felt..they were so super soft and smooth..I just could not stop touching my hair !

I had to go for a hair cut the next day..and since it was blow dried and styled I could not wash and judge the difference later on..I will update this post as to how long the effect lasts and till when the hair feels and looks the same :p

But from what Zara told me, if hair is taken care of with proper serums and conditioning, the effect lasts a month..and this can be done monthly..or else if very dry hair, twice a month.

At JCB, they use mostly Kérastase and L’oreal Professional..and a few Moroccanoil products..

I highly recommend trying out the Biguine Kérastase Hair Ritual at Jean-Claude Biguine Salon..if your hair is normal kinds, the Ultime Liquide-Gold one would do..but its definitely to be experienced..you will love your hair ! 

I think its a perfect addition to must-do’s before the wedding for the brides !

Have you tried the Biguine Kérastase Hair Ritual at Jean-Claude Biguine Salon ??

P.S: Services were offered by the brand but that has not affected my opinion.

PRODUCT PRICE: Rs. 750/- for 1.6g


So at first I thought I have an olive shade which is marked as blue..these both read pink and blue..(Remember the goof up in Eyeconic..I got two greens instead of one grey..read HERE )

Now I got confused between the blue and green..there was no swatch for the blue one anywhere online..and this swatches a deep green..


Basically the three blue/greens in this range are one is a turquoise blue, one olive green and one this Blue which is a deep sea green..

These are eyeshadows in chubby plastic crayon form with transparent lids and matching ends to the shades..and needs to be sharpened.


Pink is a beautiful champagne pink..makes a nice easy to wear color..a great highlight, perfect for inner corners and also highlighting your cheeks.. (or as shown to us in the Lakme Absolute Illusion Masterclass, after the normal base shadow is done, this pink shade was warmed in between fingers and applied at the centre..i.e where the eyeballs are..and it gave a beautiful nice shimmery sheen) Very multi purpose !

Blue is actually a deep sea green..its quite rich and dark..and would make for perfect night time smokey eyes.


They have all the features they mentioned ! Glides effortlessly, super soft, amazing pigmentation, stays put throughout the day but needs to be blended super fast coz it sets immediately.


Here I have used Pink with subtle eyeliner..would look great with bold red lips..or any bright lip..when you do not want the eyes to be heavy..but still some sheen and shine 🙂

Pros:

1. Super soft.
2. Glides smoothly.
3. Doubles up as an eyeliner.. (though a thicker one..you can make for subtle smokey eyes by just blending the thick liner)
4. Stays put through the day.
5. Amazingly pigmented.
6. Comes in 8 shades to choose from.. Bronze and Purple are amazing too..apart from these two..and White which is a nice golden white.
7. Pink and White are multi purpose.

Cons:

1. I am not sure why this is named ‘Blue’ :/
2. These are priced a little higher. (Rimmel Scandaleyes are priced at Rs.415/- for 3.2g qty..though a few shades in Lakme are more pigmented than Rimmel)

Overall I would say, these are quite amazing…and I loved the shades they have come up with..there are subtle Pink and White..and bright Purple and Blue, and Indian wedding wear Bronze and Olive..there is one for everyone..and for all occasions..Highly recommend them..

Rating:

Quality: 4/5
Value for money: 3.75/5
Availability: 4/5

Overall Rating: 3.75/5

Would I buy it again: Yes..I am liking Bronze and Purple.

There is a hair makeover section and a makeup section too..Remember my hair last time (see HERE)

The Face Shop Vita C Hydro Gel Mask Sheet Review

The Face Shop Vita C Hydro Gel Mask Sheet Review

Guest Post by Dev

Hello Everyone,

Do you find it pesky to mix up a face mask then carefully apply it over your face and finally wash it off without wetting your dress? Well, I do- I am not a great fan of DIY masks on weekdays when things are in a hurry and a gal gets minimum time for skincare. So, when I saw that the famous Korean beauty brand The Face Shop had a new store at Fairview Mall here in Toronto, I didn’t waste much time and got some nice mask sheets. The Face Shop store usually has some or other promotion going on and Korean products are easy enough to buy online from.

About the product:

Price: $2 CAD [may vary based on sales and location]

Directions and Ingredients:


Packaging: This is a plastic package with 1 single mask sheet inside. I like that they have added a lot of details on the packaging – it has detailed instructions on how to use, ingredients and Expiry date as well. 

My Experience

There is a lot of liquid inside the package so, be careful when you open it because I ended up having some spilled on my dress. The mask is pretty much like a normal face mask except that instead of the usual cloth-soaked-in-essence, this is a thin porous plastic sheet with the essence over it as a thick gel coating. 

There was kind of plastic film on both sides that prevented the gel essence from disintegrating; after removing it, I placed it like any normal masks. The difference I noticed was that, because of the gel texture, it had a good grip on my skin- normally after keeping a mask sheet on, I cannot sit up or stand up as the mask may fall off but with this one, it stayed fast to a point. 

I said ‘to a point’ because the gel coating starts getting absorbed to your skin and after 10 mins I could start the mask slowly coming off from areas where the gel essence had absorbed into my skin. After 20+mins, all the gel essence had completely absorbed and all that remained was the dry porous sheet. 

After removing the mask, I massaged my skin very lightly very lightly with the remaining essence from the package. I immediately noticed how soft and smooth my skin felt. When I checked in the mirror, I felt that my skin looked – well, younger, like what it was in my late teens and 20s –firm & smooth, not dry and a bit saggy around the eye & nose area. Also, the lines around my mouth and the usual sagging skin around my eyes were also gone [not forever, sadly]. 

The effect lasted for almost 2 days and people at my office asked me what facial/cream I used that I am having a nice ‘glow’- so I am superbly happy about that.


Pros:
1. Easy to use face mask as no hassle with applying and then washing – I even a 5min-mask sheet at office when I have bad skin days 
2. Gel essence coating gives the mask more grip 
3. Superb hydrating effect – gives skin a smooth look
4. No irritation, no strong scent 
5. Good facial for tired skins for just $2

Cons:
1. Availability in India – but since Korean beauty products are easily available online [I buy from Yesstyle or Cosmetic-love] with free shipping, I am not sure if availability is a concern

Overall: I just got some extra Vita C, also bought some other variants which I will review soon.  I feel that Korean masks are much better performing that any other Western brands, so check these out for your next international shopping.

About Dev: Dev is a Canada based beauty blogger..and blogs at http://thatmakeuplady.blogspot.in/. Do check out her blog for US based brands’ reviews..she has lots of them…

Editor’s Note: Nice review..I love these instant sheet masks..I have tried a few..Neutrogena and b.liv ones..

Oriflame Skin Dream BB Cream Review, Swatches

Oriflame Skin Dream BB Cream Light Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Oriflame’s 5-in-1 skin dream BB cream is the perfect time-saving solution for the woman on-the-go who wants a flawless face in a flash. With a high SPF of 30, this cream delivers everything your skin needs and the look you want, in one super-charged beauty balm. Your skin will look perfectly flawless and stay perfectly protected. The cream contains a breakthrough BB formula created by Oriflame scientists with glowing skin in mind and inspired by the original BB concept – to soothe, nourish and heal the skin, as well as camouflage any redness. 

MRP: Rs.599/- for 30g (mostly on discounts)

Ingredients:

Shades Available:
  • Medium
  • Light
It comes in a small tube packaging. Easy to carry around.

I have the shade Light which is obviously light for me..I guess it would work for people around NC 30..for rest everyone there is only one shade i.e Medium..more shades needed surely.

It has medium coverage..covers redness and light spots..not heavy marks or dark circles..and is moisturising..but dry skin would need a separate moisturiser.

Stays on for a good 6-7 hours..and comes off easily with a normal cleanser.

Pros:

1. Medium coverage.
2. Stays on well for 6-7 hours.
3. Skin is not too shiny nor too matte.
4. Moisturising..oily and combination won’t need a separate moisturiser.
5. SPF 30
6. Travel friendly
7. Cleanses easily with any normal cleanser.

Cons:

1. Only 2 shades..do not match all skin tones.
2. Slightly expensive..but always on offer.
3. Available only through reps.

Overall I would say its a nice BB cream for daily use..gives even coverage and covers redness and minor spots..has SPF 30..so no separate sunscreen or moisturiser needed..I only wish there were more shades available.

Rating:

Quality: 3.75/5
Value for money: 3.75/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 3.5/5

Would I buy it again: Maybe would try Medium if that shade works for me..
Have you tried the Oriflame Skin Dream BB Cream?

OOTD: Half Lace Blue And White Dress
 
Hey everyone,
I am back with an OOTD after a long time..this time I wore this half lace half flared blue and white dress to my friend’s cocktail party..
I love how its half and lace and half like a normal flared high low uneven skirt..with a belt..looks like a separate skirt and top too..

It came with a black belt..and I kept the belt same..I paired it with a neon and bright diamante necklace ( I love this piece to bits..its one of my favorites ! ), a gold hollow cut out bracelet and set of gold rings..

And this super awesome colorful printed pumps..I loved these shoes..but did not expect them the heels to be sooo high..I seriously cannot walk comfortably in them..also may be coz there is no platform at the front..and the foot remains totally curved.. (How the hell do these actresses run, jump and dance in those heels 😮

Dress, Necklace, Bracelet, Rings: Romwe
Shoes: Lovelyshoes
I hope you liked the outfit..do let me know in the comments below..
