The packaging as you know is matte black with the shade co-ordinated base which makes it easy to find. The formula is super pigmented and matte, you get an intense colour pay off in one swipe. It comes with a sharpener and is easy to sharpen and use, the clean point gives a nice edge to define the lips.
These are not transfer proof, but they stay pretty long, even the lighter colours. It has stayed on me for 5-6 hours minimum and fades a bit even after a full complete lunch with dal and curd. It doesn’t go away, but just fades and you can easily reapply it.
Coming to the shades..
06 Coraline Jones is a warm orange coral
07 Viola is a beautiful mauve nude
08 Jackie Brown is a reddish brown, would work for all skin tones, especially deep skin tones
09 Princess Peach is a true warm peach
10 Cherry Darling is a gorgeous deep cherry red
11 Elle Woods is brown nude, a good everyday shade
I love all the shades, I can’t really choose and definitely recommend these. If I have to pick, I will say Viola, Jackie Brown and Elle Woods.
I would suggest Princess Peach, Elle Woods and Viola for fair to medium skin tones and Jackie Brown, Cherry Darling for deep skin tones. Actually both Coraline Jones and Cherry Darling would work for all.
I hope you liked the video and the swatches, do let me know your favourite shade in the comments below.
Summers are at it’s peak right now, as it’s May, the hottest month in India. And we all face a lot of skin problems in summers. Let’s talk a bit about that..
Skin problems we face in summers
The scorching summer heat, dust, pollution, stress and our lifestyle impact the oxygen levels in our skin. That brings along a lot of skin issues like
Dull Skin
Uneven Skin tone
Dead Skin Cells
Sun Tan
Dark Spots
Today I am reviewing the new Oxylife Natural Radiance 5 Crème Bleach. I am not someone who bleaches regularly, I was a little wary of bleaching and used to do it occasionally. I met Dr. Rashmi Shetty at an event and asked her about bleaching, if it is bad for the skin, and to my surprise, she said not at all. She said you just need to add moisture and hydration to the skin, if you take care of it, then bleaching does no harm.
So I am quite confident about bleaching now. I have used the Oxylife bleach previously, but not this new variant and I thought of giving this a try.
Claims and Features of Oxylife Natural Radiance Creme Bleach: Gone are those days when bleaching caused a row of sirens blazing in your head. With Oxy Life Natural Radiance 5 Crème Bleach, your skin will feel pampered like a queen.

Benefits of Bleaching
Bleaching helps add oxygen to the skin, making it brighter and helps in evening out skin tone and fading acne spots, etc. It also helps remove dead skin cells and repair dull skin, making it look more vivid and glowing. If you are targeting to eliminate acne scars and spots, you should do it regularly. Bleach can be used every 21 days.
How to use:
Oxylife is widely used in salons, and anytime I happen to go and ask them which bleach do they use, majorly it’s always Oxylife.
It comes with the creme bleach, powder activator, spatula, post bleach serum and an instructions manual. The creme bleach and powder activator is to be mixed in the ratio of 7:1. If you are not sure of the measurements, you can buy the one time use pack and mix both in the quantity given.
I have the 3 time use pack with me, and if you follow me on Snapchat, you must have already seen me using this.
You can mix the creme and powder in the dish that comes in the creme tub. Mix it well till the powder dissolves.
Steps of application:
Remove all makeup with a makeup remover and wash your face.
Pat dry with a tissue/paper towel.
Apply the bleach first on the Y zone i.e. the neckline, jaw and chin
Then on the the T zone i.e. the forehead, upper lip and nose
And in the last 5 minutes on the C zone i.e. the cheeks
Avoid eyes, lips, eyebrows completely. Keep it on for 10 minutes if you have deep skin, 15 minutes for wheatish skin and a little bit longer if you have fair skin.
I kept it for 10-15 minutes and washed it with normal water. I saw an immediate difference on my skin! Skin was more even toned and clear looking. The tan was all gone, and there was a fresh glow to the face.
It also works on dark spots, but with regular use, once every 21 days.
Few Pointers:
A patch test is recommended for first-time users.
Cleanse the skin well and pat dry, before use.
Creme Bleach and the activator powder should be used in the ratio of 7:1, Mix the crème bleach and powder activator for 2 minutes with the spatula provided till powder activator completely dissolves.
Apply the mixture on the area to be bleached.
Avoid application on eyebrows and around the eyes.
Wash off the application with water and Apply the post-bleach serum.
Bleach should be used once in every 21 days
Do not use soap/face wash for 5 hours after bleach.
Avoid going into sunlight immediately.
Why Oxylife Natural Radiance 5 Creme Bleach
It comes with the post bleach skin radiance serum that is very moisturizing. I can feel the glycerin in the serum and it hydrated the skin well. I do not use anything else on my face for about 12-15 hours and avoid going out. I would recommend bleaching in the evening, so that you can skip direct exposure to sunlight. Learn more about how to use oxygen bleach for face (OxyLife)
I love the fact that this is ammonia free. Whenever you bleach, go for ammonia free bleach only. My eyes get irritated and water a lot during bleach, and I was surprised that this did not irritate my eyes at all.
It fights all skin problems that come along with sun exposure, stress and pollution and gives a healthy looking radiant and glowing skin! Skin gets more oxygen, and it repairs dull skin and helps in fading acne scars/spots.
It comes in different sizes, the one time use pack is perfect for travel too.
Overall, I am really happy with the results. It does what it claims, and I highly recommend trying this out.
10 Ways To Get Soft, Pink Lips Naturally | Lighten Dark Lips
Guest Post by Disha
Who doesn’t want soft, supple, pink lips? We all do! But instead most of us have to suffer with their dryness and pigmentation. This happens because we fail to take care of them. When your lips are dark and dry, they get itchy and you cannot even apply lipstick properly! No one is a fan of that I am sure. To get naturally pink lips one needs to take care of their lips and there are a lot of ways to that. And believe me they are all very easy and can blend into your skin care regime effortlessly. Apart from being doable they are so effective that you wouldn’t even need to use your MAC lipstick in the shade Please Me to give you the appearance of naturally soft and pink lips. So, here are 10 ways in which you can do so.
1. Exfoliate
Exfoliation is the key ladies! It helps get rid of dead skin and dirt. All you need is a toothbrush. Yes a toothbrush has more uses than just brushing your teeth. Just be careful that the one you choose has soft brittles so that it doesn’t hurt your lips. So wet your toothbrush a little and then gently rub it on your lips in circular motions.
2. Choose Lip Balm With SPF
As we all know the UV rays from the sun do harm our skin and for that we apply a sunscreen lotion but do we do something for our lips? No we don’t. Hence, always choose a lip balm that has a decent amount of SPF in it. This way your lips will be hydrated and at the same time protected.
3. Drink Water
I feel drinking water can solve most of your health problems. You need to keep your body hydrated. So drinking 6-8 glasses of water everyday is beneficial for your whole body. But when it comes to your lips, keeping yourself hydrated will moisturize them and make them supple.
4. Milk and Pomegranate
You know how pomegranates have a lot of pigment in them. So why not use them for your lips? This following method with lighten dark lips and give them a natural pink tone. Crush pomegranate seeds and add some cold milk in such a way that when mixed together, a paste like consistency is achieved. Then apply it to your lips. Let it stay and after around 10-15 minutes wash it off.
5. Removing Makeup
Yes we have all heard that never sleep with makeup on but how many of us really follow it? Before going to bed make sure that you have completely taken off the lip liner and lipstick and applied a lip balm. This will hydrate your lips throughout the night. Whereas keeping on lipstick all night long can darken your lips.
6. Lemon and Sugar
This one acts as a scrub as well lip-lightening agent. Take a lemon slice and put sugar on it. Then gently rub this on your lips. Lemon is a good bleaching agent hence it will lighten your lips whereas sugar will exfoliate it. So this combination is enough to make your lips pink.
7. Cucumber Slice
We all know cucumber is very cooling and has a soothing effect. So rub a cucumber slice on your lips which will instantly refresh them and make them pink on doing this frequently.
8. Aloe Vera Gel
This can act as a great lip balm. Take some aloe vera gel and store it in the refrigerator. It helps in soothing your lips, generating new cells and protects from harmful rays of the sun. You can just directly use it as a lip balm everyday.
9. Glycerin and Lemon Juice
Take 2-3 drops of lemon juice and glycerin and mix them together. Use this mixture as an overnight lip mask. While glycerin will hydrate your lips, lemon will lighten it.
10. Coriander Leaves
Take a few coriander leaves and crush them. You can also put in little water/milk if you like. Then apply it on your lips and let it stay for a while. After about 20-30 minutes, wash it off. Coriander leaves help in lightening your lips.
I told you all of them were easy ways! Weren’t they? They are very doable. Choose any method or methods and stick to them. Make sure whichever ones you choose, you follow them regularly for best results. Voila! You got yourself soft and pink lips.

So I finally got the October My Envy Box, this is their 3rd anniversary box and all the teaser emails where making me very curious, they had mentioned they have 8 products in this month’s box.
The box this month is a plain white one with black web design on it and it says ‘turns three’ below the My Envy Box logo.
I got the Zebra print black and white nail wraps in Nertia. I have tried the Gulnare face wash before and it’s quite good. The Ayca Jasmine Body Wash also smells really nice.
I am not much into whitening cleansing facial foam as they make my skin super stretchy and dry. I would have liked the essence though which is another option in the box. I wish My Envy Box gave options to subscribers on what they can choose in terms of shades or products, if they have a few different ones to offer. That would be very convenient.
Love the Forest Essentials Cleansing Paste, I wanted to try this one out, glad I got this. Also this is perfect for travelling. Even the Kerastase Chronologiste vial is perfect for travel.
The Vert Loose Powder is made from all natural, dried rose petals. It has a strong pink undertone and can be used as a blush or eyeshadow. This would make a beautiful blush! But the quantity is good enough to last a few generations 😀 I would suggest splitting it to half or 1/4th and sharing it with your friends/family.
The total value of all the products in this month’s box comes to around Rs.3750/- I am quite happy with the products, 3 are full sized while 3 are super deluxe samples.
I definitely recommend this month’s box! Total value for money.
Did you get the Oct My Envy Box? What did you receive?
October month of Fab Bag is the ‘Get Set To Celebrate’ Festive edition since Navratri and Durga Puja are around the corner.
MRP: Rs.699/- for 1 month
It’s a very cute potli type vertical bag this time, quite similar to the mobile pouch which was IN trend some time back, this is perfect to carry some cash, a lipstick and your cell phone during weddings, etc. I love the pink and red color blocking too and the button closure.
They have introduced the brands ‘Spa Ceylon’ and ‘Palmers’ this month. I had received a mail last month end, that I can select any one makeup product of my choice this month. I like the concept and it was quite interesting. I chose the Makeup Revolution Vivid Blush Lacquer in Heart as I had not tried the Makeup Revolution blushes yet.
So I received a full sized Makeup Revolution Blush which is priced at Rs.750/-, now this price varies from importer to importer, but currently it is priced at 750 everywhere.
Products I received:
Makeup Revolution Vivid Blush Lacquer in Heart- Full size (Rs.750/-)
Nyassa Oceana Foaming Face Scrub- 30g (Rs.900/- for 200g)
Spa Ceylon Green Mint Cooling Foot Scrub- 50g (Rs.1100/- for 300ml)
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Lotion -50ml (Rs.545/- for 400ml)
All the brands this month are good. I wanted to try something from Spa Ceylon so I am glad I got a product but I would have chosen the Jasmine Face Mask given an option coz I more into face masks than foot scrubs. I have tried the Palmer’s Cocoa butter body lotion before (Read review HERE), this cute bottle is perfect for travel and I would keep it for that.
Overall I would say it’s a nice bag with nice brands, you get products worth around Rs.1100/- for a bag worth Rs.700/-, it’s a bit of a luck game here, if you get 1-2 different products, the value of the bag changes. But worth a try.
The Body Shop Virgin Mojito Body Scrub, Body Butter, Body Splash Review
Hi guys,
If you know I have running an Instagram contest for this new Virgin Mojito Range from The Body Shop, I also got a chance to try a few products from this new range and here is my review on it.
The Body Shop Virgin Mojito Body Scrub
Ingredients:
MRP: Rs.1295/- for 250ml
It comes in the same plastic jar as the Fuji Green Tea Body Scrub and has the same gel like texture and consistency with white and green fine granules. I already love the Fuji Green Tea Body Scrub and loving this too, this one smells more refreshing and exactly like Mojito! It leaves the skin gently exfoliated and soft without any greasiness or heaviness.
The Body Shop Virgin Mojito Body Splash
What the Company claims: The Body Shop brings you an innovative, brand-new fragrance format! With a zingy fragrance, our NEW Limited Edition Virgin Mojito Body Splash lets you splash on the crisp, refreshing scent of lime and fresh mint after the shower to extend the feeling of freshness all day. Innovative way to apply our new fragrance Light and fast-drying With the extract of Caribbean mint and lime Made with Community Fair Trade Organic Cane Sugar from Paraguay
Ingredients:
MRP: Rs.1395/- for 300ml
This is the first time The Body Shop has come up with a Body Splash, I think it is launched in place of the Body Mist. It is a thin, runny water like liquid which you just need to rub all over your body after a bath or after using the body butter. It evaporates quickly leaving behing a nice whiff of lime and mint. Again very, very refreshing. Only con would be it doesn’t stay that long on it’s own and over the body butter, it stays for like 3-4 hours. I would have loved if it stayed longer for at least 5-6 hours.
The Body Shop Virgin Mojito Body Butter
What the Company claims: Smooth on fresh hydration with our Limited Edition Virgin Mojito Body Butter, refreshingly fragranced with a twist of zesty lime and the scent of fresh mint. Up to 24-hr fresh hydration Lightweight texture Suitable for normal skin With the extract of Caribbean lime and mint Made with Community Fair Trade Shea Butter from Ghana
Ingredients:
MRP: Rs.1095/- for 200ml
As I had mentioned in my previous Fuji Green Tea Range Review, that I am not a fan of The Body Shop Body Butters and I prefer the Body Lotions as my skin is not very dry and I do not like rich and heavy creams except in extreme winters which is rare in a humid city like Mumbai.
I was expecting this to be of the same formulation as the Fuji Green Tea Body Butter but this one was very rich and heavy. I compared the ingredients of both and I found that the Fuji Green Tea Body Butter only had soybean oil and shea butter as the rich ingredients whereas this Virgin Mojito Body Butter contains cocoa butter, shea butter, beeswax, soybean oil and sesame oil as the rich ingredients and that makes it very heavy.
I would be using this Virgin Mojito Body Butter only in the 2 months of Mumbai winters, but otherwise I still prefer the Fuji Green Tea one coz it is very light and non greasy. If you are someone who has very dry skin, the Virgin Mojito Body Butter is perfect for you! It is very moisturizing and hydrating. Also for someone who feels itchiness due to dry skin or is developing stretch marks, this one will give your skin the much needed moisture.
Overall I would say this range is very, very refreshing coz of the fresh lime and mint. It would have been amazing if this range would have been launched in the summers. I love the Body Scrub and the new Body Splash too, the Body Butter is slightly rich for me but when everything is used together, the smell stays on much longer.
Have you checked out the new Body Shop Virgin Mojito Range yet? What do you think of it?
Today I am reviewing some makeup items from Johara Cosmetics. Let me tell you a little about Johara Cosmetics at first..
About the brand: Johara Cosmetics is a part of the Sabinsa and Sami Group. Johara® is the culmination of this on-going effort in Research and Development for more than two and half decades and over 120 scientists diligently focusing their efforts towards creating effective and safe products.
The company has a state-of-the-art R & D Center and six cutting-edge manufacturing units, adhering to the strictest quality and safety standards, ensuring that the highest quality of products are being manufactured.

So as the brand claims suggests, Johara Cosmetics are made from the best of the ingredients and are all safe and natural adhering to their quality standards.
They have Skin Care, Body Care (i.e. Bathing Bar and Body Mist) and Colors which is all about makeup but no foundation or base makeup yet, I hope they launch those soon.
For now, I am reviewing the lipstick, eyeliner, kajal and nail color.
Johara® Crème Rich Lip Color
Johara® Crème Rich Lip Color glides on for show-stopping, saturated rich creamy color finish. Rare Ricin oil and Vitamin E act to hydrate and nourish your lips. Choose from 12 delectable shades and true-wearing color that dazzles at the workplace or party. Long-wearing, smooth and lustrous, our lipsticks make you want to get more than one shade!
More To Love: Parabens free, Lanoline free, Mineral Oil free, Nano-ingredient free
Shades Available: 12
MRP: Rs.395/- for 4.5g
I have the shade Pink Flash. To start with the packaging, it comes in this complete silver outer packaging with golden interior. I like the packaging, also the quantity of 4.5g is very good for a lipstick.
Pink Flash is a pretty coral pink color. The texture is creamy and the finish is glossy, you get opaque coverage in 2 swipes so the pigmentation is quite decent too. The staying power is average, it stays for 3-4 hours with light snacking and drinks but leaves behind a pretty stain which stays for another 1-2 hours. Only glitch is it fades from the center first when you eat or drink.
Overall, I like the color and the finish is pretty good for everyday use. But if you want matte or long staying lipstick, then this is not for you. At Rs.395, it is quite good for the quantity and quality.
Johara® Pro Shine Nail color
Dress up your nails in a stroke of Johara® Pro Shine Nail colors. The formulae are long lasting, quick-drying, and apply evenly, while high-quality pigments ensure eye-catching ultra-shine. The special design brush helps to achieve an even application of colors. Choose from 14 ProShine youthful shades to pep up your look every day.
Shades Available: 14
MRP: Rs.250/- for 10ml
I have the shade Ocean Green. I like that the bottle is not very huge for 10ml quantity. Pigmentation is good, you get perfect coverage in two coats.
Ocean Green is perfect sea green which looks kind of mint but is not exactly mint.
I do not agree with the quick drying and long lasting claim here. It took quite long to dry on nails and chipped from the front in 3 days.
The shades available are less and also the price is a little higher for a nail paint, not very happy with this.
Johara Deep Impact Kajal
Use Johara Deep Impact Kajal for mesmerizingly beautiful eyes. This creamy Kajal gives you deep coverage and effortlessly glides on in one easy stroke. Smudge-proof and easy to blend, it is also moisturizing and light-wearing. Let this super-creamy kajal be the secret behind your expressive eyes.
Free of volatiles, parabens and preservatives.
Lasts upto 10 hours
Easy to apply
Water-proof
Dermatologically approved
Ophthalmologically approved
Suitable for contact lens wearers
MRP: Rs.325/- for 0.35g
It comes in this sleek, black packaging and is in retractable form. The moment I swatched it, I was blown away by the creaminess and pigmentation. It glides like butter and is intense jet black! It is everything a kajal should be! No kajal/kohl stays long on me coz of my watery eyes. This one stayed for around 7-8 hours, though it has slightly faded but was still there.
I am super impressed with this kajal, best at this price point in the longest time I have tried. Highly recommend this!
Johara Expert Pen Eyeliner
Put an expert to line the windows to your soul. Johara Expert Pen Eyeliner has a unique pen formula that gives you oh-so-smooth and precise application, creating a highly pigmented, intense black line, that is quick-drying and non-feathering.
The innovative tip applicator provide ultimate control without skipping, so what you get is pure drama for your eyes.
Free of parabens and formaldehyde compounds
Lasts upto 12 hrs & more
Water-resistant
Quick drying
Dermatologically approved
Ophthalmologically approved
Suitable for contact lens wearers
MRP: Rs.575/- for 1ml
I love using pen eyeliners, coz they are super easy and convenient to use. This Johara Expert Pen Eyeliner looks exactly like a black pen. The tip is thick and stiff, it is easy to work around with. Again the pigmentation is mind blowing, super rich and dark black.
The tip being thick, you won’t get a thin line or a small, thin wing. But if you are someone who always prefer a thick eyeliner, then this is perfect for you and will make your life super easy.
I am mostly into thin, defined lines. I rarely go thick on the eyes, but when I do, I will only reach for this. With thinner tips, you have to go over again and again to create thickness. With this liner, one stroke and you will be sorted.
I definitely recommend this if you love thick eyeliner on your eyes. you will surely love this to bits.
I have used the Kajal, Eyeliner and the lipstick here..
You can buy the products from Johara Cosmetics website, I have linked above. It will route you through Sami Direct. They also have skincare and I am currently trying out their Night Cream which I will be reviewing soon.
Have you heard of Johara Cosmetics? What do you think of these products?
What the Company claims: This soap-free and paraben-free gel gently cleanses and purifies your skin while respecting its pH. It cleanses the skin gently without abrasion (no rebound effect). It is suitable for young, oily, blemish-prone skin as it purifies the skin and controls oil secretion, leaving your skin fresh and non-irritated. It contains 60% Avène Thermal Spring Water which has amazing soothing properties and the new sebum-regulating ingredient Glyceryl Laurate. This cleanser prepares the skin for treatment. It is an economical product, as a small quantity is enough to be effective.
How to use: Use Cleanance Soapless Gel Cleanser morning and evening on your face and body. Apply to wet skin, lather and rinse thoroughly. Remove any remaining traces of make-up on the face and soothe the skin by spraying with Avène Thermal Spring Water.
Ingredients:
Cleanance Range:
reduces/limits sebum production
soothes irritations
Nips acne right at the root
leaves the skin feeling fresh and mattified
I have been using the Avene Cleanance Gel since quite a few weeks now, actually post my break out, I am only stuck to this. Read on to know what I think about it.
I researched a bit about Glyceryl Laurate, which is the new ingredient of the Avene Cleanance Range. It is a monoester of glycerin and lauric acid, skin conditioning agent and helps as emollient and surfactant. It basically forms a film on the skin and gives the skin a smoother, softer feeling. And also helps in sebum regulation.
To start with the packaging, it comes in this sleek plastic bottle with a white cap which you have to swivel to get the dispensor and dispense the product and swivel back again to close, something you see in talcum powders but this has just one tiny hole to dispense which is the perfect size.
It will not leak while you travel with it, but since this is a bit bulky and huge, I would not say it is travel friendly. I would have loved if it would have been available in smaller sizes too.
It is a bit thinner in texture and not exactly like gel, it has this hint of blue in it. I wash my face, take some product in my palms and then just blend some in my palms and some on the wet face directly.
It removes my basic makeup i.e eye liner, non waterproof mascara, sunscreen, BB cream, etc. without any hassles. It does not burn or sting the eyes at all! Something I really like, which most of the cleansers do, on my eyes. You will feel a thin film on the face but not something uncomfortable. It did not dry out the skin at all!
Coming to the main part, it definitely helped in my acne, no breakouts ever since I am using this and my previous scars have also almost faded. I am currently using this once a day, not twice a day since I have combination skin and not purely oily or blemish prone skin.
Though it is on the expensive side, the quantity is a lot and this 200ml bottle would easily last you at least 3-4 months depending on the usage.
I absolutely love it and recommend it. The most gentle cleanser I have used in a long time which removes my basic makeup, cleanses skin thoroughly from deep within, controls my break outs and even helps in fading the acne marks. And does not dry out the skin at all. It is a must try and will work for majority skin types, but if you have oily/acne prone/blemish prone skin, definitely get it today.
Rating:
Quality: 5/5
Value for money: 4.5/5
Availability: 4/5
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Would I buy it again: Yes!
Have you tried the new Avene Cleanance Gel Cleanser yet?
Few days back I was invited for the Moroccanoil Hair Spa experiental at the Renee Melek Salon in Bandra. I have had the chance to experience the Moroccanoil Hair Spa before at The Taj Palace Salon in Colaba. So I know how good it feels and was more than happy to try it out.
The owner Renee herself checked my hair and recommended the intense hydrating treatment for my hair. (Since this time my hair was more dry than my previous experience)
My hair was first washed with the Moroccanoil Hydrating Shampoo.
Funny me- after the wash :p
And then a mix of Moroccanoil Serum and Intense Hydrating Mask was applied on my hair all over, in parts. Its a mix of 1 pump and 1 spoonful of mask.
It was followed by a relaxing massage and steam.
Then the hair was washed again, this time only with water. Followed by a blow dry.
Here are some before-after pics.
FrontBack
My hair felt super soft to touch and I could feel the hydration in the hair, as it had turned a little dry of late. And even after a serum and mask were used, it was quite light and bouncy. It did not weigh my hair down. Hair stayed hydrated for a week or so. I also got this Moroccanoil Light Serum which I am currently using and testing out. Would review soon.
There are different Moroccanoil Hydrating Treatments and options.The Price of Moroccanoil Hydrating treatment – ranges from Rs. 2300 – Rs. 2700 depending on length and thickness of hair. Prices are inclusive of tax.
I have always had a good experience with Moroccanoil hair spa treatment till now. Have you tried it yet ?
P.S: Services were provided by the brand but it has not affected my opinion.
International Giveaway: Win a Daniel Wellington Watch
Yes, you heard it right. A Daniel Wellington watch of your choice! Is’nt that amazing ?!
About Daniel Wellington: The story behind Daniel Wellington begins with a trip half way around the globe where Filip Tysander, the founder of Daniel Wellington, met an intriguing gentleman from the British Isles. The man had the inspiring ability to be gentlemanly but still relaxed and unpretentious. He had an impeccable style, and loved to wear his watches on old weathered NATO straps. His name? Well, Daniel Wellington, of course..
The “preppy” trend is bigger than ever before. And while there are many big players in the fashion industry that cater to preppy needs, such as Ralph Lauren, Gant and Brooks Brothers, we felt that there was an empty space in the watch market. There was something missing.
We believe that Daniel Wellington fills that gap. Our vision is that when someone thinks of a preppy dressed person, he or she is wearing a Daniel Wellington watch.
Slowly but surely, a beautiful watch emerged. It was thin, refined and perfectly round. It was minimalistic and didn’t have too many details. We believe that the traditional, yet crisp design blends together perfectly with the colourful NATO strap and will appeal to almost everyone with a sense for classic and timeless design.
The straps themselves are an important part of the watch. NATO straps originate from the British navy, where divers would use the strong nylon straps over their wet suits. Even though they were originally made to avoid rust, we love the look and versatility of them. That’s why we wanted to create a line of different straps with different colours and patterns – but all with a strong bond to the British Isles.
Sean Connery, another big fan of the NATO strap, wore one in the James Bond movie “Goldfinger”. Need we say more?
The Daniel Wellington watch is suitable for every occasion. Regardless if you’re attending a black tie event, playing a game of tennis or enjoying a sunny day at the beach club – the Daniel Wellington is a beautiful companion.
Not only that, but with interchangeable straps you can have a different watch for every day of the week.
Daniel Wellington Watches range from $135 to $229. They have some super classy designs. I personally love each of them. And once you own a watch, you only need to buy straps then, since they are all interchangeable. They have dials in gold, silver, rose gold. My personal favourite is rose gold <3
I owned a Classic Southampton Lady, which I have shown in many of my outfit posts here. And the recent additions are Classic St.Andrews Lady and an strap for my Classic Southampton Lady dial.
This is the first giveaway I am conducting that is open for men as well. Its open both for men and women and worldwide. So, basically anyone can participate. Its open for all.
