August Fab Bag Unboxing & Review

Hi guys,

I am back with another Fab Bag unboxing and review video.

Fab Bag is a monthly subscription bag where you get 4 (sometimes a 5th bonus) products.

Read my previous Fab Bag reviews:

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.

Have you tried the Fab Bag? What did you get in this month’s Fab Bag?

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 🙂

You can buy the My Envy Box HERE. Use the code ‘NEWLOVEMAKEUP’ to enjoy 15% off on all our website, subscriptions & products

  • Specially formulated for brittle hair with extremely damaged lengths and split ends, this reparative serum is the perfect way to finish your look and add a healthy, long lasting shine

Additional Information
Apply Kérastase Resistance Fibre Architecte Level 3+4 to dry hair. 

MRP: Rs.1500/- for 30ml

Ingredients:

It comes in a green and white half and half bottle..one side has a light green colored gel and one side some oil..it has a sideways pump dispensor..and both the sides dispense the product together..it is supposed to be combined together and then applied to the hair..like any normal serum..

My hair have turned pretty dry in the last few months..and so I thought of trying this out..it has helped my hair stay hydrated and glossy and shiny..and the most important frizz free..

I use it after my shampooing on half dried hair..and the best part is..it keeps my hair amazingly soft and shiny the next day too ! And it smells amazing..

I am completely in love with it..

Only issue being..I read that one side i.e the gel side of it gets over sooner than the oil one..and hence then only the oil does not give a similar effect..I wish they both came up in equal quantities and finish up together..

Pros:

1. Leaves hair super shiny and glossy.
2. Hair feels softer and hydrated.
3. Stays frizz free.
4. Effect stays on next day too.
5. Easy to use and carry around.

Cons:

1. A little expensive.
2. One side finishes up sooner than the other.

Overall I would say its perfect for dry hair..and gives that required shine and softness..and keeps hair frizz free..this serum is definitely a must try !

Step 2: Treat – Wash off the shampoo and apply a conditioner/masque to lock in the natural oils of the scalp.
The new 3rd Step: ‘Regenerate’ – The Initialiste serum completes the process by adding a new step i.e. “Regenerate” to the regime, for stimulating the growth of radiant healthy hair. Initialiste is a leave-in product that is applied on towel-dried hair, directly on the scalp, just before styling. Take one to two pipettes, depending upon the thickness of the hair and gently massage with finger tips to spread the product evenly across the scalp.
Step 4: Texturize – Apply your regular styling product (as recommended) to get lustrous beautiful hair.

Dove Nourishing Oil Care Vita Oil Serum Review

Dove Nourishing Oil Care Vita Oil Serum Review



What the Company claims: Hair that appears dry and dull on the outside are actually damaged from inside. To combat this dryness of hair, Dove Nourishing Oil Care Vita Oil Serum gives instant nourishment to your hair.

It has revolutionary Vita-Oils that get easily absorbed to replenish essential oils. This instant nourishment smoothens up to 99% of roughness leaving your hair softer, shinier and more importantly damage free.

Directions:

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs. 300/- for 40ml

After reviewing the Dove Nourishing Oil Care Shampoo, Conditioner and Mask..the Serum was the last one left for review..I quite loved those three things…and the range in general..how did this fare for me..well read on..

I liked the cylindrical packaging of this with the oval cap..and this is quite thick and sturdy..not one which would break or get cracks on falling. The pump dispensor pumps out the right quantity and does not ooze out too much.

Now this claims to smoothen out 99% of roughness..or give nourishment to the hair…since its a serum…I do not expect it to give nourishment..since we use serums to make our hair appear better and for a fact I do not think serums can give nourishment to the hair.

Though it contains oils..its not very oily and sticky..has a normal serum texture..it has this particular Dove smell..which I quiet like.

But it does make the hair shinier and smoother with less frizz..rainy season and winters make hair very frizzy..and the dryness and frizziness increases in winters especially..so yes this is something perfect for the season..and as it contains vital oils..it does help smooth out the dryness in hair.

Pros:

1. Does make hair shinier and smoother.
2. Controls frizz to a great extent.
3. The packaging is quite nice and sturdy enough.
4. Travel friendly.
5. The blend of vita oils helps reduce dryness in hair.
6. You need just 1-2 pumps…would last long.
7. Like the trademark Dove smell.

Cons:

1. I do not think it can nourish hair as claimed.
2. A little expensive compared to other serums.
3. If used too much..hair can feel weighed down and oily the next day.
4. Contains silicones…which with regular use can lead to product build up.

Overall I do like it..to control the dryness and frizz of hair..and the shinier, smoother effect it gives..would recommend trying it..and in the qty that best suits your hair..
