A new month and new bags and boxes start pouring in. Also the most exciting part is the unboxing,isn’t it?!
This month’s Fab Bag theme is ‘Take Charge’. It’s a deep purple loose bag which can stock a lot of things, perfect to carry along your makeup or toiletries during travel. I loved the color and material..its quite soft but sturdy and not something that would tear easily.
MRP: Rs.599/- per month (Offers on 6 months and 12 months subscription. Go HERE)
Read my previous March Fab Bag Review HERE, April one HERE and May one HERE
Let’s see what all I received in this month’s Fab Bag..
Cuccio Colour Nail Enamel in Shaking My Morocco- Full size (Rs.675/- for 13ml)
Cuccio Naturale Butter Blend- Milk & Honey- 9.24g tube (Rs.2970/- for 240g)
Votre Fresh Cooling Sun Protection Mist SPF25 50ml bottle (Rs.980/- for 100ml)
Ananda Spa Light Moisturiser For Normal to Dry Skin, small jar (I guess 8-9g) (Rs.1350/- for 50g)
All Good Scents Arise (For Men) Perfume vial- Father’s Day Bonus
This time we have one full sized product i.e. the 13ml Cuccio nail enamel, I am happy with the bright coral colour which is perfect for summers. The Ananda Spa Light Moisturiser is rose and sandalwood based and smells nice, would love to try this out.
We have half the sized bottle of Votre Fresh Cooling Sun Protection Mist SPF25 which will be worth Rs. 490/- and the small tube of Cuccio Butter for hand,feet and body. Lastly, a small perfume vial bonus from All Good Scents for Father’s Day.
Overall, a nice bag considering value for money as the nail enamel and sun protection mist itself total to more than Rs.1000, but I have seen better Fab Bags in previous months. I feel next month’s bag would be amazing though, let’s wait and watch 😀
Have you tried the Fab Bag yet? What did you get in your June Fab Bag?
What the Company claims: The Live Your Now team has worked closely with an expert formulator based in France to create a revolutionary high definition nail lacquer that promises to give you nothing less than pure color perfection.
The LYN nail colours are revolutionary High Definition nail lacquers that promise to give you nothing less than colour perfection
LYN’s brilliantly curated palette of sheers, shimmers, crèmes and glitters are formulated to provide a high gloss finish for manicures that will really last
Furthermore LYN’s innovative flat brush technology delivers precision colour, for a smoother, faster and streak free professional finish
The LYN lacquers are formulated with pigments that reveal their true brightness and vividness for ultimate wear
These salon quality nail lacquers glide on like satin, dry fast and are available in 100 gorgeous shades
Live Your Now (LYN) come in a square shaped bottle with black cap. It has different collections like Reds,Greens,Corals bifurcated on the basis of colors and also Glitters,Sugar Rush,Sheers on the basis of finish and texture.
The formula is France based and it is indeed nice. 2 coats are all you need for a perfect,opaque coverage and it gives a super,smooth finish. Pigmentation wise its quite bright and the glossy finish and coverage is perfect.
It goes on smooth without any streaks and the best part is, it stays for a good 9-10 days with just a bit of chipping at the tips. Really impressed by the staying power and the color and finish does not get dull too. It has even survived 2 weeks with just a bit of chipping and the finish gets a bit dull later on. But no nail enamel has stayed that long on me!
It comes in 100 shades with all possible finishes and different textures. I am really keen on trying out the Glitters and Sugar Rush next.
I have tried the shades ‘No Morning Blues‘ and ‘Didya Vinka At Me’ untill now. All the 100 shades have such fun,quirky names 😀 No Morning Blues was a part of the February My Envy Box.
No Morning Blues is a creamy bright pastel blue
Didya Vinka At Me is a super creamy bright deep raspberry pink. Lot of people asked me about this shade :p
I absolutely love the finish and quality. Though its slightly higher priced, but the quantity of 12ml is good and also the quality is fab, maybe we can have a smaller size at a lesser price. I like that idea in nail enamels of having a lesser quantity so that we can use it completely and also have more colors.
Its available online on My Envy Box,Purplle and Nykaa. I hope it is more easily available soon both online and offline.
I highly recommend trying these, you can thank me later 🙂
This time, the box was Valentine Special and curated by Miss Malini also called Miss Malini’s Box of Love. It was a black colored box this time with a pink satin pouch inside..loved that pouch.
Also, there were two additional cards inside this time.A Sephora makeover card for oneself and a friend,sadly no Sephora in Mumbai and its a waste for me :/
Second was a Rs.500/- off on H2O+ stores card, will have to try that out, 2 stores in Mumbai thankfully.
What I got in the box:
Calvin Klein Reveal: Rs.4500/- for 50ml It smells amazing, strong and musky. Its my kinda scent.
LYN (Live Your Now) Nail Lacquer: Rs.350/- for 12ml Its a beautiful creamy pastel blue called No Morning Blues, I tried it out immediately. Dries quickly and love the finish. I am glad its a full sized 12ml quantity this time <3
SkinYoga Post Workout Neem Purifier: Rs.1550/- for 200gms Its a barley and neem post workout body scrub, waiting to try this out. I love SkinYoga products, happy with this one.
Vana Vidhi Himalayan Wild Rose Bath Salt: Rs.990/- for 15gms Bath Salts are a pleasure to use, especially when its pure,natural rose. It smells of soft,pure rose with no added scent/fragrance.
L’Occitane Immortelle Precious Youth Serum: Rs.4490/- for 30ml Not really a fan since its an anti aging range, I don’t like the fact that beauty boxes contain anti aging products unless specifically requested for.
Overall I loved this month’s box. A full sized product plus the other deluxe sized samples which are good enough to eat and smell fabulous. Use SkinYoga Neem Purifier post workout on Valentine’s Day, bath with the Vana Vidhi Himalayan Wild Rose Bath Salt, apply the LYN nail lacquer and spritz some CK Reveal 😀 #not #justkidding
Maybelline ColorShow Bright Sparks Blazing Blue NOTD
What the Company claims: COLORSHOW BRIGHT SPARKS
The Maybelline Color Show Bright Sparks Nail Polish Collection introduces 8 new nail colors.
Add a bright pop of colour to your tips with the Maybelline Color Show Bright Sparks Nail Polish Collection.
The Maybelline New York Color Show Bright Sparks Collection presents eye-catching nail shades inspired by colors trending at the New York Fashion Week. This collection offers 8 glitzy nail polish shades, with each shade being hand-picked by India’s top beauty bloggers. The range includes glamorous shades like Glowing Wine, Power of Red, Firewood Brown, Blazing Blue, Spark of Steel, Burnished Gold and Molten Maroon. Color your nails with Color Show Bright Sparks nail colors and stay fashion-forward this season!
Here’s why you’ll love it:
Shades have been chosen by India’s most loved beauty bloggers
Comes in 8 runway-inspired glitzy shades
Has a flat-brush for smooth application
Ok, so if you follow me on my facebook, twitter or Instagram, you would know how I and my fellow blogger friend Dollie from Indian Shringar selected this shade Blazing Blue to be a part of Color Show Bright Sparks range. Similarly there were few other bloggers who selected these 7 shades.
After the Maybelline Glitter Mania launch, we did this secret activity to select the shades for this new Bright Sparks range which was supposed to be the festive cum autumn/winter range.
I like the fact that a brand includes us bloggers to be a part of their collections and launches in some or the other way. Feels good to be a part of this launch.
I got this shade which we selected along with these 5-6 pics (shown above) from the event which were clicked while we were selecting the shades.
Coming to this shade 706 Blazing Blue, its a bright ink blue which instantly brightens your hands and make your hands look pretty.
The texture, brush, etc is all exactly like the Maybelline Color Show range. I would say the only issue is, it started chipping from the tips in 1-2 days but not too much.
Overall, I love the brush and the smoothness, the price and the shades. Pretty pigmented and in 2 coats, you are sorted.
Rating: 4.25/5
I so want to try the Burnished Gold, Firewood Brown and Spark of Steel! They sound amazing.
Also, I would be giving away 10 of these Blazing Blue to 10 of you!! So, stay tuned for the contest and the hashtag #BlazeOfPassion.

What the Company claims: Stunning 3D Effect in 8 Glittering shades.
Maybelline New York launches for the 1st time ever in India a textured nail paint with the most unique finish. Never seen before Color Dry technology that provides a sand-textured effect in the hottest glitter shades. Experience glitter like you have never seen before!
This product is available in 8 exciting shades! Namely – Dazzling Diva, Red Carpet, Bling on the Blue, Pink Champagne, Paparazzi Purple, Matinee Mauve, All That Glitters & Starry Nights. Based on our Color Show premise, we have a unique shade that fits every mood and personality.In keeping with the same here is an insight for the same: Glitter has forever been a ramp and red carpet favorite! This season is all about textures and embellishments. Glitter Mania is the best of two worlds! Helping our girls taking their style from the catwalk to the sidewalk with this exciting new range! At just Rs.125, this range is very accessible!
So, to start with, I am loving the names..so fun and quirky..these come in a small cute bottle same as the Color Show Nail Paints.
We got to try one shade at the event itself..and I picked and applied 607 Pink Champagne..its on my nails from the last Friday..today being the 6th day. And so I though lets review these before I change onto some other shade (Was so tempted to :p)
I had applied 2 coats of the shade and I got full opaque coverage with the 2 coats..it feels matte and gritty coz of the liquid sand technology..but I personally loved this finish.
The color did not dull out or fade..but on your right hand nails, if you cook or eat or something, the finish gets slightly different after 2-3 days..I am quite impressed by the staying power of these..it did not chip at all..and only after 4-5 days, I saw the color go off from the tips but not too visible or obvious. I am loving the staying power.
Also, as with all glitter nail polishes, I thought it would be a pain to remove these..but surprisingly and thankfully, it was not much of an issue and they came off pretty smoothly than expected.
Today I have swatches of Pink Champagne and the rest on each finger which I just changed after writing the review for a better description.
601 All That Glitters (Gold)- Dull Gold with silver shimmer
602 Dazzling Dive (Silver)- Bright Silver with silver shimmer..my fellow nail blogger Dhara Singh of The Happi Therapy found it to be an exact dupe of OPI Liquid Sand in It’s Frosty Outside.
603 Starry Nights (Black)- Deep Black with silver shimmer
604 Red Carpet- True Red with pink and silver shimmer (Good shade for bridal wear)
605 Matinee Mauve- Deep Pink Mauve with silver and pink shimmer
606 Paparazzi Purple- Bluish Purple with silver and blue shimmer
607 Pink Champagne- Champagne Pink with silver shimmer
608 Bling on the Blue- Sky Blue with silver shimmer
My favorites are the Pink Champagne, Silver and Gold. Would do an NOTD with Red and Silver soon..Red would make a nice wedding season shade.
