Since Valentine’s Day is coming up and I wanted to create a look with my theBalm Meet Matt(e) Trimony Palette, I thought of this matte pink/plum makeup look.
Maybelline Creamy Matte Lipstick Faint for Fuchsia
Pixi Glow Mist
I went with a bright pink lipstick and the whole look complimented well. I like how it turned out. My false lashes were not cooperating and were coming from all sides, so I finally just took them off :/
I hope you like the look, do let me know in the comments below.
Batiste Dry Shampoo Floral & Flirty Blush in Cherry- Full size 50ml (Rs.299)
I had an option to pick one shade from the Sugar Liquid Lipstick and since I already had 4, I went with Suave Mauve which I didn’t have. Check the review and swatches of all 4 HERE
It’s a very pretty dusty nude mauve, great for fair to medium skin tones.
I love the Matra Lip Balm, it smells really refreshing and the ingredients has lot of good essential and base oils.
I have tried Just Herbs Honey Face Wash and Batiste Dry Shampoo before, like both. Glad I have it in mini sizes now, for travel.
Overall, the total price of the products in this month’s bag is Rs.1230/-. I wouldn’t say it’s a must buy but if you wanted to try Sugar Liquid Lipstick anyway, then you get 3 additional products plus the bag for just Rs.100/- extra, so that’s a good deal.
Feelunique Haul : theBalm, Real Techniques, Rimmel
Hi guys,
I got a few things from Feelunique.com a few months ago. I had filmed this video earlier but if you don’t already know, I have got a fracture recently and hence it took some time to edit, etc.,
About Feelunique: Feelunique is a UK based website which stocks all international brands from Real Techniques, Sleek MakeUP, NYX, Maybelline, Benefit, theBalm, Rimmel London, etc. They have 1000’s of brands under them. They offer free shipping all over the world above £60 and £15 shipping below that. But even if you buy 2-3 items, you can easily cross £60.
Also they have a lot of offers from time to time and free Gifts with Purchases. Only disadvantage I would say is customs and since that is not fixed or cannot be determined, it is a bit of risk.
I got 6 items out of which one item was missing. I paid Rs 950/- customs on rest of the 5 items. Let’s see what all I got..
And the item which went missing was the Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lipstick. I wanted all of these items since a really long time! They were on my wishlist! And I am so glad I got these.
I hope you liked the haul, do let me know in the comments below.
I love this silver black holographic kind pouch, it’s pretty.
Products I got:
Iba Halal Foot Massage Cream (Full size- Rs.95/- for 50g)
Natural Bath & Body Hair Mist (50ml – Rs.525/- for 100ml)
Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil Roll On (15ml – Rs.460/- for 60ml)
City Color Be Matte Lipstick Lana- (Full size- Rs.500/-)
I quite liked the City Color Be Matte Lipstick last month, so this month too when I was given an option I chose the same lipstick in a different shade. This time I chose a red called ‘Lana‘. It’s a beautiful cool toned red. I love the formula of these City Color Be Matte Lipsticks, very similar to the Sugar Cosmetics It’s A Pout Time formula.
I have tried Iba Halal moisturizer before and it was pretty decent, so looking forward to try this foot massage cream. Perfect time to try the foot cream.
I love Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula products and do have this oil. I like this roll on packaging more, very handy and convenient.
And last but not the least, is the Natural Bath & Body Hair Mist. Smells really good, but I am not sure if the smell would stay through the day. Again a travel friendly bottle.
Total value of the products comes to round Rs.1000. Overall, I would say it’s an Ok bag. Not a must have, but if you would like to try these products including one makeup product of your choice, then you can give it a go.
I had two back to back events the other day and I wore this look and outfit. I filmed this GRWM and created my favourite glam champagne smokey eyes.

Winter Skincare Routine | The Body Shop Vitamin E Range Review + Giveaway
Hi guys,
I have been using this Vitamin E range for more than 2 weeks now and here are my thoughts..
Vitamin E Cream Cleanser
This light cream cleanser gently lifts away dirt, make-up and impurities.
• Gently but effectively cleanses
• Softens and conditions
• Leaves skin feeling smooth and supple
How to use: Apply to the face and neck with fingertips. Wipe away with a cotton pad or muslin cloth.
MRP: Rs.795/- for 200ml
It comes in a long slender bottle with a flip cap. It’s a little thicker lotion and you need to squeeze the bottle to dispense the product. It takes off the daily dirt and grime from the pores and some basic makeup like a tinted moisturizer/BB Cream, etc. It leaves the skin super soft and moisturized. This won’t work on water proof makeup, so for your heavy duty eye makeup, you will need to use a separate remover.
Vitamin E Moisture Serum
This pre-moisturiser provides intensive, continuous hydration and protection.
• Pre-moisturiser
• Gives extra hydration
• Immediately smoothes skin
How to use: Apply to face and neck using fingertips before moisturising.
MRP: Rs.1295/- for 30ml
It’s a pre moisturizer treatment and also has rice bran oil apart from the basic wheat germ oil this entire Vitamin E Range has. It is very light weight and gel like in texture. You just need half a pump for each use and it does make the moisture locked in the skin for a longer time.
Vitamin E Moisture Protect Emulsion/Day Lotion with SPF
A lightweight, milky formula to moisturise and protect your skin against UVA and UVB damage.
– Locks in moisture for 48 hours of hydration, leaving skin feeling soft and smooth
– Antioxidant properties protects against free radicals
– Powered with Biofermented Hyaluronic Acid
How to use: Apply a pea-sized amount onto fingertips and massage onto the face and neck in an upward motion after your serum. Best applied as part of your morning regime and/or before being exposed to the sun.
MRP: Rs.1495/- for 50ml
This is the new launch in the Vitamin E Range. It comes in a very handy and travel friendly, sleek bottle with black cap and pump packaging. It is very runny, so make sure you pump carefully. I need 1.5 pumps per use and it covers whole face and neck well.
I am glad this has SPF 30 PA+++ protection and works as both moisturizer + sunscreen. I don’t use a separate sunscreen and the biofermented hyaluronic acid keeps the moisture locked in the skin. Even after 5-6 hours my skin is soft and hydrated, and does not feel dry or stretchy even once.
Vitamin E Night Cream
This rich night cream replenishes moisture levels while you sleep.
• Intensively hydrates
• Works when skin is at its most receptive
• Leaves skin soft and smooth
How to use: Apply to face and neck just before bed, after cleansing and toning.
MRP: Rs.1195/- for 50ml
This is the only product out of the 4 I am using hat is slightly rich. It has Cocoa butter as one of the ingredients and that makes it intensely moisturizing. You just need a pea sized amount and you are good. I prefer a little heavy moisturizer during night time and this is just perfect. My skin is all soft and hydrated even the next morning.
Usually by end of Nov and start of Dec, my skin starts feeling dry and stretchy. I am glad I started using this range early Nov and my skin has not been dry at all this time. No dry spots or flaky skin, it is all plump and hydrated.
I definitely recommend the Vitamin E range, especially for winters. Dry skin definitely can use it throughout the year, but specifically for winters, this range is amazing.
I am giving away two of the products i.e. the cream cleanser and the new day lotion/emulsion to 3 winners on my YouTube, so make sure you participate 🙂

DIY: Get Instant Soft & Glowing Skin for Weddings/Parties, etc | Remove Sun Tan
Hi guys,
Today I am sharing this quick DIY that I often do before special occasions for that soft and glowing skin!
All you need is a ripe banana, lemon juice and honey.
Take half a ripe banana and mash it really well with a fork, add 1 tsp. honey and 1 tsp. lemon juice and mix it really well.
Apply a thick layer of it all over your face and keep it on for 10 minutes. Wash off with normal water and pat dry.
You will see instant glowing skin!
Let me tell how and why it works..
Bananas are high in vitamin A, B, E and are a good source of potassium, zinc, iron and manganese. They are good for dry and oily skin alike. They are ultra moistuzing and instantly soften the most dehydrated skin. They are also rich in B vitamins and zinc which help to fight free radicals and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin C in bananas may also help improve the appearance of dark spots and acne.
Lemon is rich in Vitamin C and citric acid and is full of antioxidants. It helps fade acne scars & blemishes and gives an even skin tone and brighter looking skin. It controls oil and shine to an extent and being anti bacterial also works on acne and blackheads. It also acts as a gentle exfoliator on dead skin cells.
Honey is a natural humectant, meaning it draws moisture from the air into the skin and ensures it’s retained it in the layers for penetrating, long-lasting hydration. It is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial, hence helos in calming redness and acne, and also helps to decrease the appearances of scars and increase healing and tissue regeneration
That’s it! Super quick and easy. I hope you like this DIY and try it. Do let me know how it works in the comments below 🙂
It’s the Festive/Diwali edition and the bag was a metallic gold clutch this time. I like the clutch but I wish the quality was a little better and it was stiffer.
Products I got:
CAL Finish Up Compact C02: INR 650
Votre Lip Gel Scrub (10g): INR 300
Kaya Brightening Serum (5ml): INR 1490 for 30ml
Vedaearth Cleansing Facial Oil: INR 350
Stay Quirky Nail Polish: INR 165 for 6ml
Total value of the products: INR 1715
I am quite happy with the CAL full sized compact and cleansing oil. Also liked the serum and nail paint, not a fan of the smell of the gel lip scrub, though I would use it. I hope the smell doesn’t bother much.
Overall, pretty decent bag. You can pick any makeup product of your choice, I went with the compact. Recommend this month’s Fab Bag.
