Jan 2016 Beauty Resolutions Fab Bag Review

Jan 2016 Beauty Resolutions Fab Bag Review

Jan 2016 Beauty Resolutions Fab Bag Review

Hi guys,

So this time I received the Fab Bag at my mom’s place the My Envy Box at my old address, so the delay in review or posted on social media directly.

Read my previous Fab Bag reviews:

MRP: Rs.699/- per month (Buy HERE)

January 2016 Fab Bag theme is ‘Beauty Resolutions’ coz we all have New Year resolutions 😀 The makeup print on the bag is super pretty and this is the perfect cosmetic bag for travel or storage, one of my most favourite Fab Bag bags!

Let’s come to the products, so I had an option to select one product in this month’s bag out of all the makeup options, and I had already tried everything else, so I went with the Laqa & Co. Nail Polish Pen coz I have never tried a nail polish pen and it was a nice, summery peach shade which I can’t wait to wear in summers.

Products:
  • Natural Bath & Body French Red Clay Face Mask 20g (Full size Rs 450/- for 100 ml)
  • Natural Bath & Body Vitamin E Whipped Cream 15g (Full size Rs 275/- for 50 ml)
  • Laqa and Co. Nail polish pen  (Full size Rs.1000/- for 5ml)
  • Votre Face Serum Full size (Rs 1670/- for 12 ml)
  • BBlunt Spotlight Hair Polish mini- Rs.250/-

I love the sound of both the Natural Bath & Body products and also the ingredients are pretty good. The French Red Clay mask has virgin coconut oil, turmeric powder, sandalwood extract, beetroot powder, kaolin clay, fuller’s earth, etc. And the Whipped cream is a blend of Vitamin E and argan oil. The cream is perfect for winters but I would prefer using the clay based mask in summers as clay based masks dry out my skin more though the coconut oil should balance it out, my skin is already super dry these days and I won’t risk it.

The Laqa & Co. Nail polish pen is in the shade Tweedledee is a nice pastel peach shade and also my first nail polish pen, quite happy that it’s a full sized product, can’t wait to try it out.

I love using serums and oils especially at night and in winters, currently I am obsessed with The Body Shop Oils Of Life Revitalizing Facial Oil, and this Votre Face serum sounds amazing with all the blend of essential and cold pressed oils in the ingredients. But my only worry is only active ingredients are mentioned :/ I hope it doesn’t break me out coz the Just Herbs Rejuvenating Beauty Elixir in the previous Fab Bag did break me out. I like the fact that this again is a full sized product.

And last but not the least, the BBlunt spotlight mini hair spray. Now I have 2 of the full sized ones and also one mini of this and I absolutely love it, it is perfect for adding some shine post your hairstyle and it gives slight hold too, though not much. It doesn’t make your hair stiff or hard and gives a nice sheen on the hair. This mini version is perfect for travel and/or handbag.

In all, I would say I loved this month’s Fab Bag and the fact that I got two full sized products, one hair spray mini and 2 deluxe sized samples and all the products are pretty good. Absolutely recommend getting this month’s bag if you still haven’t, also the bag in itself is really cute & quite useful.

Last month’s bag was also quite good, I hope this continues coz the products and bags have been really good from the past 2-3 months (except Nov) Touchwood!

What did you get in your January 2016 Fab Bag? What makeup product did you choose?

Lotus Herbals YouthRx Gineplex Anti-Ageing Skin Care Range Review

Lotus Herbals YouthRx Gineplex Anti-Ageing Skin Care Range Review

Hi guys,

If you follow me on Snapchat (add me if you are not following yet! bhumika_t 😀 ) you might be knowing that I had taken up the Lotus Herbals #ReverseYourAge 1 month challenge. We had to click selfies every week for the difference to be visible on the skin. I have been using this entire range for around a month now and here is my review.

Let me tell you something about this range and what is common throughout the range. It comes in this pretty gold and purple packaging, the packaging is quite nice. Most of the stuff are easy to carry around, except the jars which are made of glass and kind of heavy. The serum bottle is also made of glass but it is very very thick and not something that will break easily.

The main ingredients in the entire Gineplex range are Ginger, Ginseng and Milk Peptide complex (Hence the name Gineplex) which are the key ingredients in anti-ageing + hydration+ firming. The entire kit costs around Rs.3000/-

Lotus Youth Rx Active Anti-Ageing Foaming Gel

Benefits : –

* Prevent signs of ageing.
* Reveals a glowing complexion instantly.
* Enhances skin renewal and restores elasticity.

How To Apply :-

* Apply with wet hands massage gently on to the Face & neck.
* Massage gently for 2 -3 minutes.
* Rinse well.

Active Ingrdients :- Jojoba seeds, ginseng, ginger, milk peptide complex.

Results :- Skin looks and feels fresh, soft and revitalized

Price: Rs.225/- for 100 gm

Ingredients:

It has a rotating cap packaging and is off white in color, has a texture mix of gel-creme and has small, brown jojoba seeds. It does not foam much but cleanses all the dirt, grime and basic makeup. It feels more like a scrub than face wash. I do not like foam based face washes, so this is just perfect for me. It does not dry the skin at all and the gentle exfoliation removes the dry skin flakes in winter. It is absolutely perfect for winter and I love this face wash/foaming gel. It is not meant for people who love heavy duty foaming though.

Lotus Herbals Youth RX PH Balancing Multi Active Toner

MRP: Rs.325/- for 100ml

Ingredients:

The toner comes in a plastic bottle with a spray nozzle and a cap. 2 pumps are perfect, I mostly use it directly taking it on my palms and not use a cotton pad, works both ways. I absolutely love this toner, it is alcohol free and non drying. Plus it has green tea and castor oil which in turn tighten your pores and hydrate your skin. This toner again is perfect for winters and for dry skin too. One of the best toners currently in India. This toner balances the pH level of your skin and brings it to the normal 5.5

Lotus Herbals YOUTHRx Youth Activating Serum + Crème

It contains the highest concentration of the revolutionary ‘Gineplex Youth Compound’ which gives it 10 times the anti-ageing power of a day crème. It’s a 2-in-1 formula of Serum + Crème –

1. Serum penetrates the skin quickly and delivers 10X* more ‘GINEPLEX YOUTH COMPOUND’ to the dermal layer, boosting collagen production.

2. Crème nourishes, hydrates and restores skin moisture.

MRP: Rs.695/- for 30ml

Ingredients:

One of my most favourite product from this range. It comes in a very thick glass bottle with a cap and a pump dispensor. Again a mix of gel+cream consistency. It is very light and gets absorbed into the skin in a jiffy. I just need one pump and it hydrates and nourishes the skin. I can even skip a cream post using this, coz it hydrates wonderfully even in these winters. Skin feels soft and smooth instantly.

Lotus Herbals YouthRx Anti-Ageing Transforming Creme SPF25PA+++

It is a ‘Green Science’ miracle. It comes with the breakthrough ‘Gineplex Youth Compund’ derived from potent natural ingredients and is clinically proven for accelerated lifting, firming and protective action on skin. It is enriched with SPF 25 PA+++ for protection against sun damage which results in ageing of skin.

Results: Visibly reduces appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, spots in 7 days* Makes skin look firmer, younger and glowing.

MRP: Rs.545/- for 50g

Ingredients:

Both the day and night creams come in a thick glass jar which is quite heavy. They have a separate cap between the lid and the product. It is light pink in color and light in texture. It does not make the skin greasy and hydrates the dry patches on the skin, without the heavy feeling. Both day and night creams have almost the same ingredients with some minor difference. Key being light liquid paraffin, glycerine, Vitamin E Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate (Apart from Gineplex) which are great for hydration and work on blemishes and scars.

Lotus Herbals YouthRx Anti-Ageing Nourishing Night Creme

With the latest advancements in ‘Green Science’ at its core, it is a night crème for accelerated lifting, firming and protective action on skin. Lotus Youth Rx Anti-Ageing Nourishing Night Creme visibly reduces fine lines and opens pores by nourishing the skin overnight.

Results: You wake up to an optimally hydrated and dewy, fresh skin.

MRP: Rs.525/- for 50g

Ingredients:

The day cream has a gold base and purple lid and the night cream is vice-versa. I like how the packaging is different and it helps to identify the creams. Night cream is white in color and slightly richer in texture, though does not make the skin feel heavy, it takes 1-2 minutes to get absorbed completely and skin looks as if nothing is applied on it.

Lotus Herbals YouthRx Anti- Ageing Eye Contour Cream

MRP: Rs.425/- for 15ml

The eye cream comes in this sleek tube with a nozzle dispensor, be careful when dispensing coz way too much product comes out. You just need a tiny bit on your ring finger, blend both ring fingers and apply under the eye and massage very lightly for a few seconds. It is off white in colour and gel like in texture. It feels very cooling and tingling. Since I do not have wrinkles, I did not notice any much of a difference with this one. Not a love, but kinda ok.

Lotus Herbals YOUTHRx Active Anti-Ageing Exfoliator

Its unique ‘TRIPLE ACTION FORMULA’ gently exfoliates, protects and nourishes the skin from within. It gently removes dead skin cells to reveal a younger and healthier looking skin.

Active Ingredients: Vanilla Beans, Ginseng, Ginger, Milk Peptide Complex

Results: Instantly reveals younger and healthier looking skin

MRP: Rs.295/- for 100g

Ingredients:

It has a rotating cap packaging and is white gel like in texture with black vanilla beans extracts. The scrub is very mild and gentle, it is good for everyday or every alternate day too. It is not heavy duty scrubbing, so if you like those walnut particles scrubs, you will find this very mild. This will work for sensitive skin too. I would say it’s ok, scrubbing particles could have been a little more stronger.

Lotus Herbals YouthRx Anti – Ageing firming Face Masque

It is enriched with unique Algae Extract & revolutionary ‘Gineplex Youth Compound’. It detoxifies & resurfaces the skin at cellular level. It nourishes & hydrates your skin, revitalizes texture, reduces pore size and removes dead skin flakes. It does not cause dryness unlike other masques.

MRP: Rs.295/- for 100g

Ingredients:

The masque has a flip cap and is a gel+creme texture again. It is not like those thick, cream based masques. It will come out clear and transparent on the skin. I keep it on for 10-12 minutes and then wash it off. It gives a tight feeling when it dries. I haven’t seen any reduction in pore skin but yes it does not dry out skin at all unlike other masques as claimed. And also skin feels firm and plump.

I have been using this entire range for a month now and I can see visible difference in my skin. Find below my selfies taken every week, while using this range.

R-L: Foaming Gel, Serum, Day Creme, Night Creme, Eye Creme, Exfoliator, Face Masque

I received this kit when I shifted to a new place and my skin was in the most horrible state ever. I had way too many break outs, spots, dryness and redness on the skin. Within a week, as you can see in the 2nd selfie, I noticed the difference. In fact, I felt the difference in 2-3 days and skin already felt smooth, soft, hydrated and more even with less redness and the dryness was all gone.

L-R: Week 1 to 4

I again broke out last week coz of travelling, change in climate and water plus it was way too cold in Jaipur and I have not been drinking enough water in the winters, it directly shows on my skin. But what I like the most about this range is, the breakouts dry our immediately and the range starts working on the scars and they fade away quickly too.

The entire range smells fresh and amazing, I love the smell especially of serum and day/night creams. This is slightly on the expensive side but the quantity is amazing! I am using it twice everyday since a month and I have not even finished 10% of the toner and day/night creams. Serum is 30ml and using it twice, so might finish sooner and same with the foaming gel. Even exfoliator and face masque I use once a week, so would last long.

Though I cannot comment on wrinkles as I don’t have them, but skin definitely feels firm, plump, soft, smooth and hydrated. If you are nearing 30 and already feeling the dryness on the skin or are over 30, this range is definitely a must try! Gift this to your mom or MIL and they will definitely love it.

My most favourite products from this range are the foaming gel, toner and serum. I like the day and night cream too.

Rating: 4/5

I loved taking up this challenge and my skin is loving it too 🙂

December 2015 ‘The Party All Night’ Fab Bag Review

December 2015 ‘The Party All Night’ Fab Bag Review

Hi guys,

So I just now received the December Fab Bag and let me tell you it one of their best bags! One of my personal favourites.

Read my previous Fab Bag reviews:

MRP: Rs.699/- per month

It’s ‘The Party All Night’ edition for the party season this month. They had an option to choose one bag of our choice of all the previous bags of 2015 and one product of our choice.

I went with this black heart bag which was their February Valentine’s Special since I did not have this one. And the product I chose is the Spa Ceylon Jasmine Face Masque as I had received the Foot Scrub from Spa Ceylon in October and I wanted to try out this masque.

Products in the bag:

  • Spa Ceylon White Jasmine Facial Masque -50g (Full size: Rs.2150/- for 100g)
  • Sugar Cosmetics Matte As Hell Lip Crayon- Full size (Rs.799/-)
  • Bioderma Sensibio H2O 10ml sample (Rs.599/- for 100ml)
  • Kronokare The Frizz Kiss Cooling Explosion Lip Balm-Full size (Rs.95/-)
  • Aayush Headache Naashak Roll on 2ml bottle (Full size Rs.195/- for 10ml)

They have included Sugar Cosmetics Matte As Hell Lip Crayon which I have reviewed HERE. The full sized one! That itself is priced at Rs.799/- plus it’s own sharperner. I already had the wine shade i.e. Poison Ivy and I was hoping and praying that I do not receive that, they are sending any one of the four shades at random. I really wanted to check out the Holly Golightly i.e. the nude shade as I do not own a nude lip crayon yet.

Another interesting product is the Kronokare Cooling Explosion Lip Balm which is in tube form and has a slanted applicator to directly use on lips and is in the form of clear jelly, but has a strong peppermint smell and as soon as you apply it, you actually feel the cooling explosion on the lips for about 10 minutes. It also claims to be used as a lip primer before using lipsticks, will test that out. But for now, I am really liking it coz my lips are so chapped that they hurt.

I loved the ingredients of the Spa Ceylon White Jasmine Facial Masque and immediately used it. I have this mask and the Kronokare lip balm ON right now while I review the bag 😀 I will do a complete, separate review of the masque after using it a few times.

A Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Water 10ml sample. (Read complete review HERE) This is good to carry for travel but once opened, entire pack needs to be used as you cannot store and 10ml is good for 2-3 uses. But it’s a really nice makeup remover, so good to try out if you haven’t yet, be careful around the eye area though.

I have the Aayush Headache Naashak 10ml full size roll on and it is really good for headaches during cold, congestion and feels quite relieving, this small 2ml roll on is perfect to carry along.

Some also received a Clovia scarf, I am not sure if this bonus product is added randomly or how.

Overall, I have either used all the products in the bag and loved them or really wanted to try them. It’s a full value for money bag this time!! Definitely recommend getting the December bag, your Sugar Cosmetics Lip Crayon will only cover the cost of the bag for you. And for me the Spa Ceylon Jasmine Masque is also about Rs.1075/- additionally. Total value of the products comes to around Rs.2070/- plus the bag for the price of Rs.699/- 🙂

Totally worth it.

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

Spinz Sun-Tan Remover: Review,Demo

Spinz Sun-Tan Remover: Review,Demo

Spinz Sun-Tan Remover Instant De-Tan Cream is a first of its kind.

What the Company claims: The product contains no bleach, has been dermatologically  tested and found to be safe for all skin types. It’s like a facial you can get at home where you can achieve a de-tanned radiant look in just 5 minutes. Salon like fairness and radiant skin in just 5 minutes.

Ingredients:

Directions:

MRP: Single use 9g Sachet: Rs.10, 25g tube: Rs.49, 50g tube: Rs.89/-

You know the time when you have been out in the sun for a long, long time and terrible tanned and have an important meeting or event to attend! Well, aren’t those the terrible days,especially when you have a t-shirt or hair band tan line.

Fret not, coz now we have one innovative product which can help us in such SOS cases! Today I am reviewing the new Spinz Sun-Tan Remover Instant De-Tan Cream.

You just need to use a good 9g of this product as a mask, massage it a bit on the skin in small,circular motions and keep it for about 5-10 minutes and wash off. You can use it daily too, untill your skin is completely de-tanned or may be on a regular basis if you are someone who has to be in the sun almost daily, like if you have a job that requires you to travel a lot or you are in college.

It comes in different packaging from a one time sachet to a tube. The tube has white and purple packaging. It is a thick white cream,with an artificial scent but thank goodness, it is quite mild unlike bleaches.

Bleaches are something which burn my eyes instantly and my eyes turn red, even if I have used the mildest beach and the minutest quantity. I am glad this is a ‘No Bleach’ cream, did not burn my eyes and no strong bleach smell too.

The key ingredients of this cream are milk,lemon and honey. Lemon and the lactic acid in milk are especially known to de-tan the skin. Also, honey keeps the skin pH balanced and moisturised. It is dermatologically tested and safe for all skin types.

Here is my Before, with the cream and After..

These pics are from the first time use and I notice some brightness on the skin in one use itself, though I was not very tanned to see a major difference.

Remember, this is NOT a daily wear moisturising cream which will blend into your skin. This is a mask which needs to be washed off after 5-10 minutes and is only used in this way.

You will feel a slight tingling sensation but that is very mild.

Now my skin is such that it takes months and months for the sun tan to completely go away. I saw a marked improvement with the first use,and a little better result on the 2nd and 3rd day. I am quite happy with the product.

If you have to attend a wedding, use it some time before you get ready for the function. And you can pair you fresh de-tanned skin with a pretty anarkali or a net saree with gold eyes and fuchsia/red lips.

Few things to remember:

  • Do not keep it longer than 10 minutes
  • Do not go out in the sun immediately after using it
  • Do not use a face wash/soap for 6 hours

If you are looking for an instant solution for your de-tanned skin, look no further. You will be amazed with the results with regular use of Spinz Sun-Tan Remover. Check out more on their site here www.spinzbanthetan.com

Also, watch this TVC..

Overall, I would say it’s a must try! If you are tanned and have tried all kinds of DIY or products, make sure to give this a try too! I highly recommend it! #SpinzBanTheTan

Kawar Dead Sea Facial Mask Review

Kawar Dead Sea Facial Mask Review

What the Company claims: Kawar dead sea facial mask
Kawar Dead Sea Facial Mask is one of the best Dead Sea cosmetics, prepared and purified mechanically. Aloe Vera, a natural ingredient, is added to keep your skin’s elasticity. This mask helps clean and open pores, and purifies and tightens the skin to feed the cells with many nutrients

Qty: 150ml
Finish: Handmade
Inspiration: Dead sea

With the increase in salinity and potash Dead Sea is not just famous for its uniqueness of not harbouring any lives but it is also known for its soil which is full of many minerals present in nature. Years and years of research have shown Dead Sea minerals to cure diseases and aches and the huge salt mixture present in the water has created a by product that does wonders to the skin

Origin: Dead Sea, Jordan

MRP: Rs.1434/-

Available HERE on Tjori.com

Ingredients:

To start with, I know the tube has a big spelling error ‘Daed Sea’ but it is all natural and manmade and I guess it is made in a smaller batch and through small time artisans for packing,etc.

The Dead Sea of Jordan is supposed to be very good for skin with all the minerals and salts present in it. The main base ingredient in this mask is the dead sea soil. It is infused with the goodness of aloe vera and clay.

Now clay helps clean and tighten pores and controls oil production on the skin. Aloe Vera of course soothes and moisturises the skin.

It comes in a tube form and is a large tube. The mask is ash grey in color and clay like in texture but is a bit runny. Even though you shake the tube well before dispensing, it is runny and you have to be careful to not get excess product which usually happens with this one.

It is smooth to apply and does not tug since it is quite runny. I keep the mask for 15-20 minutes, though it dries completely in 10 minutes.

Me with the Mask :p

And while washing off, like I do with all face masks, I scrub the skin a bit with the mask. My skin feels fresh,renewed and tight. I even saw a difference in break outs with its regular usage, though when you stop using this for a long time in between, break outs start again.

I agree it is on the expensive side, but then it is all natural and made with dead sea. And also this tube is like huge and it will last a good time.

Quality: 4/5
Value for money : 3.5/5

June My Envy Box Review

June My Envy Box Review

Hi guys,

This month’s My Envy Box is the bomb! I just love it..

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

MRP: Rs.850/- (Available HERE)

This time its a bright coral box, I love the color <3 I like the revised packaging since April where there is only one card with all the product details and not 5 different cards. This month’s box has two full sized products!

Let’s see what all I got..

  • Catrice Smokey Eye Pencil in Petroling In The Deep which is a deep sea green (Full size– Rs.365/-)
  • Kerastase Elixir Ultime Oil (2 x 3ml each)
  • Hedonista Chocolate Face Soufflé- Full size (Rs.1650/- for 115g)
  • Estee Lauder Pleasures EDT sample vial
  • Natio Meditate Hand Cream– Deluxe Sample 20ml

I am in love with every product this time which is a part of the box, there have always been 1-2 products in My Envy Box every month which have been my favourites, but I like all the 5 products the first time :p

A full sized Catrice Eye Pencil, I love smokey eye pencils which are perfect for those 2 minute makeup days. I am quite excited to try this and might review this soon 🙂

I am currently using the Kerastase Elixir Ultime Oil and Beautifying Cream. Though the original bottle is not that big to carry, but these 3ml vials are perfect for travel. I am loving the oil and these vials are definitely coming along with me, on my next trip 😀

Hedonista Chocolate Face Souffle is a chocolate and clay based mask, now who doesn’t love chocolate. Never tried this brand but the packaging and the mask look super yummy and nice.

Estee Lauder Pleasures is a classic, and I absolutely love its smell.

And lastly the Natio Meditate Pink Lotus Hand Cream which smells divine and works pretty well as a hand cream <3

Overall I would say this month’s My Envy Box is a total paisa vasool and I quite like it. Highly recommended! Get the June box now, if you haven’t yet placed the order. I received the box today and reviewing it today itself, so that you guys can place your orders 🙂

Anniversary October My Envy Box Review

Anniversary October My Envy Box Review

If you guys don’t know what is My Envy Box yet, go HERE.

So My Envy Box completed one year and we have an anniversary box this month. Its curated by Vogue India in association with their Vogue Empower project.

Check out my previous months’ boxes:

MRP: Rs.850/-

Its a gold colored box this time for the anniversary month. I love the red symbol embossing on the gold and the new compact size boxes since last month.

What I got in my box:

 

  • Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover 5ml- Rs.1950/- for 125ml- Vogue Beauty Award Winner 2014. This is a good sample size.
  • SkinYoga Sandalwood Saffron Face Mask 5.67g small vial bottle- Rs.1395/- for 50g
  • Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum– 1.5ml x 2- Rs.5200/- for 30ml
  • Sebastian Potion 9 10ml- Rs.1450/- for 150ml
  • H2O+ Sea Salt Hydrating Body Butter 30ml- Rs.1450/- for 250ml
  • Tatouage Ephemere gold string tattoo– Its a temporary tattoo created by Annelise Toraille

I also got the Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief card but did not get the sample. It was anyways a 1.5ml sachet.

I wish the Sebastian Potion 9 was 2 sachets and the Estee Lauder serum either a slightly bigger sample or more sachets. I am happy with the Clinique and H2O+ sample sizes and that tattoo looks super!

I did not get one sample but since it was a sachet, its fine. I wish that was a bigger size too!

The box also had L’Occitane Spa La Vie Credit coupon of Rs.1000/- and an Estee Lauder card to learn one of their 6 tricks and maybe get a sample (if available) at any of their counters. Would try to find an Estee Lauder counter and would update you guys.

Overall, there are 1-2 hits in the box this time. I was expecting much more. Perhaps even a surprise little piece of jewellery or something. Vogue could have added a magazine subscription or something on their behalf too!

You can request an invite for My Envy Box HERE.
