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?

L’Oreal Professionnel Wild Stylers by Tecni.Art Beach Waves Spray Review

Phew..that’s quite a mouthful. And the name is even longer L’Oreal Professionnel Wild Stylers by Tecni.Art Beach Waves Texturizing Salt Spray! Yeah :p

What the Company claims: Fresh from the beach effect, for sexy, tousled hair with a matt finish

Hold:  2- Light

How to use: Spray onto dry or wet hair and scrunch with hands or define using fingers for a more defined finish

Tips: Perfect on all hair types and to wear on top of other products for a more sexy, matt finish

Ingredients:

MRP: Rs.700/- for 150ml

It comes in a sleek,plastic bottle with the most innovative cap which has a lock button, so untill you press the lock button to one side, it won’t spray. This makes it quite convenient and would avoid wastage/spillage during travel,etc too. Smells really nice.

You can use it on wet or dry hair. I tried it on dry next day hair, I sprayed it at night, rolled my hair high up and kept it overnight.

Also see this video on how to use it..


Now if you have long or dense/thick hair, you are going to need a lot of this! Also since it has alcohol, it is bit drying and hence the matt finish, so do not expect any shine or glossiness in your hair. (Usually hair gets dry on the beach,so beachy waves are not supposed to be shiny or glossy anyways)

Next morning my hair had some waves, only towards the lower half,of course. My hair is quite straight and only slightly wavy and silky too,so nothing holds onto my hair..I need a heavy hair spray for any hairstyle to stay on my hair! :/

Since this has light hold, the waves are not like those softly done curls with a hair curler, but very light natural waves, which would loosen with a thin comb too! Hence, do not use a comb, but only your hands to get rid of tangles and scrunch them up real well!

You may follow up with a good hold hair spray to hold the waves, which I recommend you do, coz without a spray, the waves won’t stay for long, especially if your hair is usually straight like me. Or you can use a curler at first and then use this on light curls, following up with a spray.

Now coming to whether I recommend it, well you know I can get similar waves if I tie my damp hair in a braid or rolling it and tying in a bun and keeping it overnight. Also you can make your own sea salt spray at home mixing hot water,sea salt, bit of coconut/argan oil, few drops of essential oil and a bit of leave in conditioner. If you have straight hair, this won’t help much and also since the hold is light, they won’t stay for long.

So, this being priced at Rs.700 is obviously expensive, when you do need a lot of quantity in every use especially when you have long hair, I won’t say its a must have, but if you always wanted to try a sea salt spray, then you can give this a try.

Rating: 3/5

Have you tried any sea salt spray before? DIY or this or some other brand? Do let me know in the comments below.
