I am loving the colors, both the J.Cat Queen of Hearts Lip Paint and Starlooks lilac crayon are super unique and amazing. The Starlooks crayon shade is pretty similar to Aishwarya Rai Cannes lilac shade 😀 J.Cat is a dupe of OCC Lip tars and I can’t wait to try out this shade. It’s perfect for fall.

Even the Model’s Co. Lip liner is perfect for outlining and defining the lips.

The bag this month is a total value for money!

April 2016 Fab Bag Review, Unboxing

Hi guys,

I got my April Fab Bag today, there was some address goof up, but thanks to my mom, I got it on time.

This month’s theme is ‘It’s A Spring Thing‘. I absolutely loved the pink textured bag, the quality is nice too.

Read my previous Fab Bag reviews:

MRP: Rs.599/- per month (Buy HERE)

Let’s see the products:

  • Catrice Longlasting Lip Pencil in 020 Hey Macadamia Ahey (Full size Rs.300/-)
  • O3+ Skin Whitening Mask- 10ml (Rs.775/- for 50g)
  • Soultree Aloe & Rose Water Cleansing Milk – 30ml (Rs,295/- for 120ml)
  • Rene Furterer Curbicia Lightness Regulating Shampoo- 15ml (Rs.1320/- for 150ml)
  • Style Fiesta Earrings- Rs.499/-
  • Freshlook 1 Day Color Lens – Grey (1 pair) (Rs.900 for a pair of 5)

There was an option to select a full sized makeup product for this month’s bag and since I already had most of the stuff, I went for this Catrice Cosmetics Lip Pencil in Hey Macadamia Ahey.

There are 6 products in this month’s bag which is pretty good. I love the Catrice Lip pencil and the earrings. Also I haven’t worn colored lenses post I got my lasik done, so would definitely be trying these once in one of the makeup looks in the future.

Not very happy about the samples except the Soultree one, but the rest of the products makeup for it.

 

Freshlook Grey Lenses

The earrings, lip pencil and one pair of colored lenses totally make the bag worth the money, rest can be counted free 🙂 I do like this month’s bag and recommend it, unless you don’t wear lenses and don’t like the accessory. I am not sure which accessory is being sent to whom, so that depends on your luck 😀

Overall, a thumbs up from me.

Beauty/Makeup Haul: Nykaa & Amazon

Hi guys,

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 :/

April 2015 My Envy Box Review

Hey guys,

I am late in reviewing the April My Envy Box but here it is..

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

This time they have changed a few things in the box. Its a peach colored box, usually they have a pouch in which all the products are, this time there was no pouch and the products were all separate within the box. Also there was only one card this time with information of all 5 products unlike 5 different cards for each, which is good.

MRP: Rs.850/-

Lets take a look at what all I received in the April My Envy Box:

  • Za True White Exfoliating Clay– A deluxe sample of 30g which is quite good (Full Size Rs.399/- for 100g)
  • Catrice Longlasting Lip Pencil in Prince Cherry- Full size (Rs.300/-)
  • Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream 1.5ml small vial (Rs.5700/- for 100ml)
  • Kama Ayurveda Rejuvenating and Brightening Ayurvedic Night Cream– 2 small jars. I guess they are 5-6g each. (Full size Rs.1195/- for 50g)
  • Avene VHP Dry Touch Emulsion SPF50+ 5ml (Rs.1250/- for 50ml)

I love the products this time, a full sized makeup product is a perfect addition. The Catrice lip pencil is a very pretty red and would work with so many of my red lipsticks. I like Kama Ayurveda products and looking forward to trying out the night cream which I am glad comes in 2 jars and is a good quantity. The Za True White Exfoliating Clay is a new launch and is exclusively a part of My Envy Box, so again something new to try.

I am already using the Avene Dry Touch Emulsion and love it, so this would go into my travel bag, useful for a 1-2 day short trip. And the Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream smells like a dream indeed, fresh and floral but a bit light though for my taste.

Overall, I am quite happy with this month’s My Envy Box. I hope they continue with this, coz I see such good boxes only once in 3-4 months and not every month unfortunately 🙁

Shades Available:

  • Sensuous Red
  • Flirtatious Pink
  • Seductive Tan
  • Lip Smacking Cherry
  • Mischievous Wine
  • Bare Dare Pink
  • Sizzling Berry
  • Mysterious Nude

Its a short chubby pencil with the matching shade color at the ends..it comes with its own sharpener..It is not like normal lip pencils..which are usually drier..this is more of a lipstick in pencil form..remember the Inglot AMC Lip Pencil..see HERE but even that is matte..so a little dry..

These Take Me As I am Lip Color Pencils are just like your moisturising lipsticks..they apply with ease..and are very comfy on lips without any dryness or heaviness..they give a glossy finish..which fades away after some time..but the color stays..it stays for a good 5-6 hours..and leaves behind a stain..
The shade 002 Flirtatious Pink is a peachy pink with a hint of brown..this shade would suit most of the skin tones..
Here is it on me..

Pros:
1. Moisturising and there is no dryness or heaviness.
2. Stay for a good 5-6 hours.
3. These pencils have a cute packaging and easy to carry along for touch ups too.
4. Comes with their own sharpener.
5. There are 8 shades available but there is something for everyone..an orange based red, a nude pink, peachy pink, pale pink, wine ,berry, nude brown, etc..
6. Matching ends to identify the shade in case you have more than one..
Cons:
1. Expensive !
2. Would finish off soon..since it needs to be sharpened and causes wastage too.
Overall I do love them..a product which works both as a liner and lipstick and stays so well and is moisturising and can be carried along anywhere for touch ups..these sure are good..I only wish these were priced around Rs. 450-500/- coz the Inglot AMC Matte Pencils are also priced at Rs.680/- and these are higher..
In case you want to buy, these are available at Rs. 594/- HERE..swatches coming up soon..
Rating:

Quality: 4.5/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3.75/5

Overall Rating: 4.25/5

Would I buy it again: Umm..may be..

Inglot Matte AMC Lip Pencil 23 Review, Swatches

What the Company claims: Medium hard, matte jumbo pencil.

Great staying power makes it an alternative for lip liner used by professionals for colouring lips.

Moisturising properties achieved by the complex of lanoline substitutes and avocado butter.

PARABEN FREE FORMULA
NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS

MRP: Rs. 680/- for 4.5 g/0.16 US OZ

Ingredients:

Shades Available : 23

Inglot is available at selected places in India..i.e Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai..with 3 stores in Mumbai and Delhi and just one store in Kolkata and Chennai…but the better thing is they are available online
at shopatmajorbrands.com

These are jumbo lip pencils cum matte lipsticks…i.e lipsticks in jumbo pencil form..quite pigmented and stays put 3-4 hours..and even survives meals..it has a completely matte finish.

23 is a mauve pink with some brown undertones..a deeper pink on me..this can be a MLBB shade for many..especially who have dark pink pigmented lips.

It does require a lip balm underneath or else feels drying..but its quite light on the lips..it does settle in fine lines though but does not give dry or flaky lips as the Inglot Matte Lipsticks.
Here is it on me..

Click here for the swatches of other Inglot Matte Collection AMC Lip Pencils..

Pros:

1. I like the shade..comes up as a mauve pink on me but would be a My Lips But Better shade for people with darker skin tones.
2. Its quite pigmented.
3. Stays for a good 3-4 hours and even survives meals.
4. Does not have any smell.
5. Convenient to carry around.
6. I like using matte finish at times. If you love mattes, this is perfect for you.
7. Its not very drying or does not feel heavy on the lips.
8. Like the shades Inglot offers.
9. You need a big sharpener but it sharpens easily.
10. Paraben free and not tested on animals 🙂

Cons:

1. Since its a pencil, lot of product does go waste in sharpening.
2. Little expensive at Rs. 680/- for 3.8 g where some goes away in sharpening.
3. Inglot is not easily available.
4. You do need a lip balm underneath this and it also accentuates your fine lines.

Overall I do like this..though it accentuates fine lines and feels a little drying..a lip balm solves the problem..I love the matte finish and the staying power.

Rating:
Quality: 4.5/5
Value for money: 4/5
Availability: 3.75/5
Overall Rating: 4.25/5

Would I buy it again: Yes..I like 21 and 28 too 😉
