I got some stuff from Nykaa and Amazon, it’s been a few months though that I recorded this video. I was waiting since a long time to upload it coz it was something or the other coming up in between.
Sorry I forgot to use the mic in the first half, so the focus noise 🙁
Let’s see what all I picked from Nykaa.com
Whisper Sanitary Pad Ultra Clean XL Wings (30S) – Rs. 310 La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo+ Corrective Unclogging Anti Imperfection Care (40ml) – Rs. 1300 Free La Roche-Posay Effaclar Gel Maybelline Color Sensational Pink Alert in POW4 3.9gm – Rs. 425 L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Moist Matte Lipstick in Spring Rossette 4.2gm – Rs. 740 (On discount :p) Colorbar Definer Lip Liner in Berry Rose 1.45gm – Rs. 599 Tangle Teezer Compact Styler Detangling Brush- Purple/Black – Rs. 1099 (It’s expensive :o) Hill Fresh Grapefruit Rush Body Wash 200ml – Rs. 199 Oisis Make Me Happy Bath & Shower Gel 300ml – Rs. 249 2 of Bare Essentials Nail Polish Remover Pads – Rs. 198 (99 each) Lux Velvet Touch Moisturizing Body Wash 100ml – Rs. 120 Vega Premium Eyelash Curler – Rs. 99 Fair & Lovely BB Cream 9gm – Rs. 49 Basicare Self Holding Rollers Large (Pack Of 4) – Rs. 200 Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser – Rs. 95 Aroma Magic Turmeric Cleanser – Rs. 135 Christine Valmy Val Clean II 50ml – Rs. 195
And coming to Amazon.in, if you have noticed Amazon started with their luxury beauty department where they stock all high end brands. I got a chance to try out the luxury beauty department and this is what I got:
Kama Ayurveda Mridual Soap-Free Facial Cleanser 40g- Rs.295/- Forest Essentials Kashmiri Saffron and Neem Delicate Facial Cleanser 200ml – Rs. 975
I wanted to try these both since a long time but never really went to the store for just 1 product and you know how it is with Forest Essentials, once you go into the store, you want everything and get confused most of the times 😀 I am glad we can buy these Luxury Beauty brands including a few which are not available in India, on Amazon.in now 🙂
I hope you liked my haul, do let me know if you want any specific review first. I will try and use them before, coz there are still a few reviews in line already :/
What is your favourite product? What did you shop recently?
August month of Fab Bag is ‘Cast A Spell’ edition, which is Fairy Tale and Princessy theme.
MRP: Rs.599/- for 1 month
This time it is a metallic pink textured bag, a pretty bag though not something you can carry out, but good for travel yet again. All the Fab Bags are very multi-purpose and perfect for travel.
Contents of my August Fab Bag:
Divo Eyelash Curler- Full size (Rs.125/-)
Fran Wilson MoodMatcher Green Lipstick- Full size (Rs.590/-)
Roots Professional Morocvita Oil- 5ml (Full size Rs.2000/- for 120ml)
Ital Veloce Body Mist Summer Snowflakes -12ml (Rs.499/- for 210ml)
Bioderma Photoderm MAT SPF30- 5ml x 2 (Rs.1330/- for 40ml)
Overall, I would say I am quite happy with the eyelash curler and the moodmatcher lipstick, though it is not obviously worth Rs.590/-. The Ital Veloce Body Mist smells amazing and will be in my handbag now onwards.
I love the Roots Morocvita oil too, 5ml serum should last some time and I have another similar 5ml sample. Not very happy with the Bioderma small sample of sunscreen, but I am glad that at least they have included two samples coz one would be a total waste. I like Bioderma as a brand though and happy with the products.
I prefer deluxe sized samples and full sized products in a subscription box/bag. Though its a good bag, I would have loved a bigger sample of the Morocvita oil and Bioderma sunscreen, or maybe some other deluxe sized samples.
I would still recommend this month’s bag for a good mix of products and also an eyelash curler! Do book your bag for August if you haven’t already.
