Jan 2018 Fab Bag Review & Giveaway

Jan 2018 Fab Bag Review & Giveaway

Hi guys,

Happy New Year! Hope you all have an amazing 2018. I got the Jan 2018 Fab Bag today, on the first day of the year.

It’s a ‘The Beauty Blowout‘ bag, I love the bronze bag, it’s quite spacious and nice.

MRP: Rs.599/- (Buy HERE)

Products I received:

  • Sugar Contour De Force Mini Highlighter 01 -Rs. 299
  • Nirvana Handmade Soap Orange Honey- Rs.150
  • Bella Voste Ulti Matte Chubby Stick- Rs.499
  • Vedantika Lemongrass Face Wash- Rs.150/- for 50ml
  • Veet Ready to use Wax Strips- Rs.99
  • Acne’s Purifying Face Wash- 2 sachets

I had an option to pick a combination of two makeup products this month, from varied choices. It was the Sugar Mini blush/contour/highlighter paired with either Sugar Viola Crayon sample or a full sized Bella Voste Crayon. Now I wanted to give them away to one of you and I already had all Sugar launches, so I picked the full sized Bella Voste crayon along with Sugar highlighter for one of you.

I love the shade ‘Rose Crush’ of the Bella Voste Matte Crayon, it’s a pretty rosy pink, perfect for everyday.

Champagne Champion highlighter by Sugar is also very pretty and subtle enough for daily and day time use.

I love the refreshing orange scent of the soap and the lemongrass face wash.

The face wash and Veet wax strips are perfect for travel. Veet wax strips are always handy.

The total value of all the products in this month’s bag comes to Rs.1200/- I do recommend the bag if you get a choice to pick two makeup products. You can recover the cost of the bag in those two, the other things being bonus.

I am also giving away both of these products on my youtube channel, so join HERE

What did you get in your Jan 2018 Fab Bag?

Makeup Tutorial: Fall/Winter Smokey Eyes | Indian Skin Tone

Makeup Tutorial: Fall/Winter Smokey Eyes | Indian Skin Tone

Hi guys,

I created this deep green/burgundy matte smokey eyes which is fall appropriate using the Starlooks September Revival Kit. Though it has matte bright pink lipstick, I would pair this smokey eyes with a deep wine/burgundy fall/winter lip color 🙂

Here is the video..

Read more about Starlooks in my previous post HERE. I love the idea of Starlooks having small, travel-sized products coz no one can finish their entire eye shadows and blushes, I can’t even finish lipsticks with the number I have! I absolutely loved the matte shadows and the matte lipstick. The eye shadow duo is perfect for fall and hence I created this fall, smokey look. Though the pigmentation is slightly low and you have to go over with the eye shadow 2-3 times. And it has deep teal green mini mascara which looks almost black though.

Starlooks Revival September 2015 Looksbook Mini Kit contains:

* Rawr Lipstick : A bold matte hot pink shade. But it might need a dash of lip balm beneath else it may end up looking a bit dry. My favourite in the palette, love this. Decently pigmented and completely matte

* Agave Eye Shadow duo: A mini matte eyeshadow duo, it features a red agave & green agave shade. Both are earthy shades, leaning towards an olive green and a burgundy. Since these are matte, they are not very pigmented and required me layer and go over my shadows 2-3 times, but they definitely gave a nice matte smokey look

* Flora Mascara: A deep teal mascara which looks almost black, love the brush, it gave nice volume to the lashes and did not clump much.

The eye shadow duo is very fall appropriate, I would have loved if the lipstick would have been a deep matte plum, the kit would be a perfect fall kit then. Though I love the lipstick, plum shade would have worked very well this eyeshadow duo.

MRP: $12 for membership, $29 for separate monthly boxes

Unboxing & Review: November 2015 Fab Bag

Unboxing & Review: November 2015 Fab Bag

Hi guys,

I received the November Fab Bag today evening and recorded it immediately, edited and uploaded it, this has been the quickest I have done a video 😀

Read my previous Fab Bag reviews:

MRP: Rs.699/- per month

Fab Bag is a monthly subscription bag where you get 4 (sometimes a 5th bonus) products. This month’s theme is ‘Up Your Game The Expert Edition’. I am not sure why the theme name coz none of the products match the theme.

It’s a black quilted bag this time and the quality is pretty good.

The Fab Post and the contents card..

Products in the bag:

  • Seasoul Dead Sea Minerals & Botanicals Massage Candle- Full size- Rs.300/- for 50ml
  • Ayorma Fairness & Cell Renew Night Cream- Rs.195/- for 15g (Rs.649/- for 50g)
  • Lollipops Paris Matte Concealer in Biscuit- Full size- Rs.800/- for 5.5ml
  • Kama Ayurveda Pure Rose Water- Full size- Rs.250/- for 50ml

The Ayorma night cream comes in a small jar which is good for travel, the quantity is pretty good but I would have loved a 25-30g jar. Lollipops Concealer in the shade Biscuit does not quite match my skin tone and is a bit orangey, I will try and figure if I can work around it for my under eyes.

They had an option to pick your own skincare product like they had the option to pick a makeup product last month. I chose the Kama Ayurveda Rose Water. I thought of the Iraya Serum but I am yet to try out my previous one but I have heard quite good things about it, so if you have not tried the Iraya Serum before and get an option, go for the Iraya one. I like Kama Ayurveda Rose  Water and I love face mists, so I don’t mind having more of them.

The Seasoul Massage Candle is the most interesting product in this month’s box, I have never tried a massage candle before and looking forward to try it.

The value of the products for me come to Rs.1550/- but since the concealer which itself is Rs.800/- is not a good match, it doesn’t turn out to be value for money.

I am not sure if they are sending different shades of concealer to everyone but there are just 3 shade options according to the Fab Post. The other 3 products are good but does not make the bag value for money.

You can skip the November Fab Bag, not a must have in my opinion.

But if you would like to try anyway, you can book your bag HERE

Food Review: Lunch Buffet & Cocktails at O22, Trident BKC

Food Review: Lunch Buffet & Cocktails at O22, Trident BKC

Hi guys,

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we went to O22 at Trident BKC. We had buffet and there was a special cocktails promotion going on, so I tried one cocktail too, hubby did not since he had a doctor’s appointment later on.

I loved how the lunch buffet was a good mix from Indian to continental to a hint of street food. A perfect balance of veg and non veg dishes when it came to main course. Only when it came to desserts, there were just 2 options in eggless and there was ice cream, where as rest 10 options were all with egg 🙁

I made this small vlog, I hope you like it..

The veg and non veg salad options were equal and both had a separate dedicated table. One table was just all types of cheese and crackers.

I loved the salads. We were served Paneer Tikka and some Kebabs as appetizers, but they went cold by the time we went to get the salads. We did not get it exchanged though, hubby did not want to have the appetizers, I had one of each to try. I liked the Paneer Tikka but not the kebab.

There was a live Pav Bhaji counter where the chef made it fresh for everyone. And it was the best and yummiest Pav Bhaji I had ever had!! I had that twice, couldn’t resist 😀

Yummiest Pav Bhaji

The main course was ok, I did not have much of it. I liked the tomato rice.

I had this ‘Red Arrow’ cocktail which was a blend of strawberries, cranberry and basil with a hint of white balsamic in Ciroc vodka. It was refreshing with the perfect hint of vodka blended in the flavours.

Red Arrow

When it came to desserts, there was Fresh Fruit Cake and Lychee Baked Yogurt in eggless. I tried those and Honey Crunch ice cream. Loved the Lychee Baked Yogurt, cake was light and fluffy but I would have loved more fruits in it. Ice cream was very creamy with perfect sugar, not being over sweet.

Lychee Pista Baked Yogurt, Fresh Fruit Cake

They got me Tiramisu and Gelato in eggless option. I have had it before and it tasted exactly the same.The best Tiramisu I have ever had. (had it only here before :D) Coffee and mascarpone was balanced, again not over sweet, light and fluffy, just the way it should be. And with the perfect presentation of course.

Tiramisu & Gelato

Overall, an amazing lunch and I would definitely recommend the lunch buffet at O22 whenever you are around and searching a buffet option. I would love to try their Sunday brunch the next time.

Lunch Buffet Price: Rs.2050/- + taxes per person

Timings: 12.30 to 3.30pm

Cocktails: Rs.900/- excluding taxes

What are your favourite lunch buffet options in Mumbai? Do let me know.

P.S: I was invited for the lunch but it has not affected my opinion.

August Fab Bag Unboxing & Review

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.
