The Body Shop Sleepover with Drops of Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask

Hi guys,

So yesterday night I had a sleepover with The Body Shop! Not literally :p But, the lovely people at The Body Shop had sent a surprise box and a letter for a sleepover. That’s all I knew, coz the box and letter was to be opened only when they told us the sleepover would be, and it was yesterday night.

As I read the letter first, I had to rip apart the box immediately, I couldn’t contain my excitement looking at all the cute stuff. See what all I got:

  • A #BounceBackBeautiful tote bag
  • A #BounceBackBeautiful Cute Pillow to hug me 😀
  • A mug
  • Hot Chocolate! (My favourite thing in the kit)
  • A stress busting ball
  • Super cute Pink eye mask (Yes, pink :p)
  • The Body Shop Drops of Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask

The letter it came with..

The Body Shop Drops of Youth falls under their ‘Nutriganics’ Range.

About the product: Discover our Drops of Youth™ Bouncy Sleeping Mask, enriched with Edelweiss stem cells. Designed to be left on while you sleep, this overnight mask leaves skin looking bouncier and feeling replenished. Discover how this mask will bounce your skin back to youth. • Youth-enhancing formula for bouncier, younger-looking skin • Unique bouncy, memory shape texture • To complete your skin care routine, pair perfectly with Nutriganics Drops of Youth Concentrate and Drops of Youth Eye Concentrate

MRP: Rs.2295/-

How to use: Smooth onto face before bed either alone or after Drops of Youth™ Concentrate, and allow to sink in overnight. Do not wash off. For best results, wait 15 minutes before going to bed.

Here is a video that shows exactly how to use it:

It is white in color and gel-like in texture, feels bouncy indeed, difficult to get the product with hands. It comes with a small, white spatula. I used 2 small spatulas and massaged the product on the skin the same way as in the video. I let it absorb on the skin while I enjoyed my hot chocolate 🙂

Here is a picture of me with the mask on and the ‘After‘ is the morning ‘just washed with water’ face. The difference in light is due to night time and day time light. Also, you can see the shine on the face in the pic with the mask as it was still getting absorbed.

L-with the mask, R- Morning Just ‘washed’ face

My skin indeed felt softer,hydrated and smoother. There was no dryness or stretchiness and skin looked refreshed.

I like the fact that it comes with a spatula which makes it hygienic and easy to get the product. But it comes in a heavy glass jar, so it is not exactly travel friendly.

I was very happy with the ‘Sleepover’ idea and the kit, one of the best ideas by The Body Shop. Also, this is one of the best kits I have ever received from a brand.

I actually slept very peacefully yesterday after ages, I don’t know what exactly worked for me, but no nightmares haunting me (Which has been happening since a lot of days, the same old ‘accident’ scenes) and I slept for a long,long time 😀

Thank you The Body Shop for the kit and the sleepover idea.

I loved the mask and I am going to continue using it, would update you guys.

Maybelline Rebel Bouquet Lipstick REB04 Review, Swatches

So, after reviewing the shades REB01 and REB05 HERE, here is another shade.

What the Company claims: Color Sensational presents the NEW Rebel Bouquet collection. A burst of rebellious colour!

Why You’ll Love It
Super-saturated pigments give fresh-picked pastels a bright kick. Sumptuous feel and enriched with honey nectar. 6 vivacious shades.

MRP: Rs.450/- for 3.9g

Shades Available: 6 

The packaging is same as the Colorsensational one with a transparent red cap. It is super creamy and soft in texture, and gives a glossy finish. Though it does not glide on easily onto lips, you need to work carefully.

It is not transfer proof and stays for around 3-4 hours but does not survive eating proper lunch, etc. Very moisturising and you do not need any separate lip balm underneath.

Once settled, the lipstick stays put and the glossiness reduces a bit.

While REB01 was an apple red and REB05 a peachy coral, this shade REB04 is kind of a mix. Its a reddish coral shade.

I love this shade! Not something unique, but somehow love how it brightens my face.

Here is it on me..

Overall, I would say the new Maybelline Rebel Bouquet Lipsticks are bright,glossy finish lipsticks that stay for a longer time than usual glossy lipsticks. Comes in 6 pretty red, peach and coral shades. Definitely worth a try. Recommended.

Beach May Fab Bag Review

Hi guys,

I am back with a Fab Bag review. This May, the theme was Beach- Sun,Sand and S*xy. The bag is a super cute, blue and white striped one. I love stripes and nautical, and this is by far, my favourite bag 🙂

MRP: Rs.599/- per month (Offers on 6 months and 12 months subscription. Go HERE)

Read my previous March Fab Bag Review HERE and April one HERE

Also, we have 2 full sized products in the bag and an amazing bonus item this month.

Let’s take a look at the products..

  • Be A Bombshell Eyeshadow Quad in Madrid (Full size- Rs.1200/-)
  • Vana Vidhi Oriental Rice Paddy Face & Body Scrub (Full size,70g- Rs.1599/-)
  • Vichy Ideal White Cleanser & Essence (small sample)
  • Bonus: Bling Scarf (Rs.500/-)

I absolutely love the eyeshadow quad and I am glad I got warm,neutral colors and not the bright oranges and blues which I don’t like much. Madrid is just perfect with golds and browns, I did this makeup look with it.. (See more pics HERE)

The Vana Vidhi rice scrub is nice, gritty but not harsh and moisturising with the blend of essential oils, which does not leave the skin dry. I quite liked it.

A scarf as a bonus is just perfect, they also have 3 different ways to wear a scarf in the Fab Post. Also, every person has got a different scarf, I believe, which is even more cooler.

My least favourite is the Vichy Ideal White, I am not a fan of whitening products, and not really a fan of sample sized skin care too, which does not let you judge much anyway.

But overall, I am so so happy with this month’s Fab Bag, from the bag to the 3 full products, it’s a total paisa vasool bag. Absolutely recommend subscribing to Fab Bag, coz I believe they are only doing better month by month.

Coming back to my review, I tried the app on myself of course :p

Here I have tried the foundation and the concealer, the concealer looks a little yellow. So, the brightness of the pic, the phone,the camera are certain factors that we will need to keep in mind and that varies a lot on different images.

My phone is usually the brightest, so I had to tone down the intensity of colored makeup products. Also, the way you set your eyes and lips will not be 100% accurate, so do not be frightened if you look like a clown in between 😀 Just re-adjust the eyes and lips to as close as you can, and tone down the intensity of the blush,eyeshadows and lipsticks.

I tried the peach blush, eyeshadow and lipstick here..

You can try and check the ‘Before’ and ‘After’ which will come up half and half on your face,save it, share it. Check the list of products used and either take a note of shades or buy directly on the app.

There are a lot of new ‘Pro Stylist’ Looks and many of Shraddha Kapoor’s new looks from ABCD and a few of Kareena Kapoor’ s looks from new collection launches at LFW, so if you want need a particular shade which Kareena or Shraddha wore, just check the makeup breakdown, maybe try the particular shade on yourself and click ‘Buy’ and get it delivered at your home! Life was never that simple, right? 😀

I think this app is a must try, atleast you can experiment a lot of different looks and shades on yourself and check what shades look good on you.

New Elle 18 Color Boost Lipsticks Review,Swatches

What the Company claims: Elle 18 has made things simpler this summer for all the girls out there with their new range of Color boost lipsticks. It comes in 10 lovely shades including Pinks, Reds and Oranges. These lipsticks are enriched with a special cocoa-butter formula that keeps your lips soft and your colour intact for upto 6 hours. Well, nothing arrests the beholder’s attention more than a glamourous pout.

MRP: Rs.150/-

Shades Available: 10

I am reviewing 7 of them today. Elle 18 Color Boost Lipsticks come in a pretty black and pink girlie packaging, like it always has been. Check out the previous range HERE

The lipsticks have an orange center which is their lip balm at the core, that keeps the lipstick moisturising. I like how hydrating and light they feel on the lips. Surprisingly, they are very,very pigmented. I just couldn’t get rid of the swatches from the hand even after washing thrice with a cleanser and had to use a good makeup remover to finally remove them.

Of course. they don’t stay for 6 hours as claimed, but the staying power is better than the previous Color Pop Lipsticks.The lighter shades stay for around 2.5-3 hours and the darker ones stay for around 3.5-4 hours, without and eating that is.

They are not transfer proof, but even after they wear off, the brighter shades leave a nice tint behind.

Talking of the packaging, it is very,very flimsy. One lipstick which I loved the most, Miss Pink  was already broken from the bullet before I received them. So, these are not very travel friendly too and should be carried along with care.

But as you guys know, the brand Elle 18 is all about affordability. These babies are very economical at 150 bucks and all the 10 new shades are super pretty and bright. Perfect for summers. Highly recommend getting 1-2 of these!

Here are the shades:

07 Hollywood Pink: Reddish Pink with silver shimmer

10 Superlicious Red : Warm Red with a hint of coral

08 Red Passion: Warm Orange Red

09 Hyper Orange: Warm Bright Peach

01 Miss Pink: Soft Fuchsia Pink

05 Nude Coral: MLBB Everyday nude shade with a hint of coral

06 Blonde Pink: Rosey Pink Brown with silver shimmer

And on moi..

I invested a lot of time in swatching, editing, etc. :/ I hope you guys like these pics and it is helpful for you to decide the shades, if in case you are buying it online or even shortlisting shades, if you are buying it from the store.

My favourite shades are Superlicious Red, Red Passion and Miss Pink, followed by Blonde Pink.

Essence XXXL Long Lasting Lip Gloss & Metal Glam Eyeshadow Review,Swatches

Hi guys,

This review is long pending. Essence Cosmetics is a German brand and slowly it expanded and reached the other parts of Europe and US. Now finally, we have Essence Cosmetics in India!

I am reviewing the Essence Metal Glam Eyeshadow in 19 Sparkling Orchids and the Essence XXXL Long Lasting Lip Gloss in 07 Silky Red

What the Company claims: essence XXXL longlasting Lipgloss matt effect- the velvety-matt, long-lasting lip gloss.

matt = a must! if you love this lip trend, the velvety-matt, long-lasting lipglosses are ideal for you! the light, mousse-like texture lasts on your lips for several hours without drying them out. particularly easy to apply thanks to the flat applicator.

MRP: Rs.279/- for 4.5ml

Shades Available: Velvet Rose, Soft Nude, Silky Red, Love Pink, Coral Delight, Big Night Out, Very Berry, Baby Doll’s Favourite

essence Metal Glam eye-shadows, with a soft texture, glide smoothly onto your eyes, giving extremely high coverage and a splendid metallic effect, resulting in a stunning outcome with a single sweep of the brush. Pocket-friendly, in both connotations of the word, these eye-shadows are available for just Rs. 185 and come in cute pocket sizes that fit easily in bags and purses, guaranteeing that you never have a make-up emergency!

Shades Available:
1. Sparkling Orchids – silver purple
2. Lucky Grasshopper – mossy green
3. Are you Grey? – greyish silver
4. Choco-Chic – warm, chocolatey brown
5. Hello Goldie! – pale gold
6. Coffee to Glow – mocha bronze
7. Golden Up! – white gold

MRP: Rs.185/- for 2.7g

Starting with the eyeshadow, it comes in a round plastic see-through packaging. Easy to locate if you have more colors. The quantity of 2.7g is quite huge.

The eyeshadow has a glitter overspray, so as and when you swatch it once, it looks completely different. Also, the product seems quite hard on top, but it feels a bit creamy inside, once the overspray is gone. When you try and use this eyeshadow with brushes or fingers, you will only get a hint of lilac with lots of silver shimmer.

The only way you can use this eyeshadow is wet. It is just not possible to use this dry, as you will not get any color, so for dry use, its a fail and would not recommend it. If you don’t mind using it wet, go ahead with the Metal Glam eyeshadows. Pretty affordable, lots of shades to choose from.

Coming to the XXXL Long Lasting Lip Gloss, it is more like a matte lip cream. It comes in a gloss tube and a flat tip applicator.

I love how creamy and moisturising it is, and once settled, it gives a matte finish, not completely dry matte though. It is very comfortable and light on the lips and stays for 3-4 hours without eating or drinking. It does not transfer much once settled, and can be easily reapplied.

T- Eyeshadow, B- Lipgloss

Here is it on me..

I love the shade Silky Red, a very wearable true red with very minute and fine golden shimmer, which is hardly visible. And also it instantly brightens the face. At 279 bucks, these are quite good and I totally recommend them. I don’t mind getting more colors, I think I would be trying out the Velvet Rose, Love Pink and Very Berry.

Food Review: Fuhgeddaboudit at Botticino,Trident BKC

Food Review: Fuhgeddaboudit at Botticino,Trident BKC

Hi guys,

We went to Botticino at Trident, BKC yesterday for lunch. They have this Fuhgeddaboudit festival going in which is all about light ‘on the go’ Italian power lunch from 16th to 19th May.

About the fest: Fuhgeddaboudit! Italian gangsters, or ‘wiseguys’, love to eat. With one eye on the pasta and another on the clock, they’re always on the lookout for a great meal. So you might just bump into one at Botticino, where we’re serving some unforgettable Italian power lunches. Whether you’re a Godfather, or one of the Goodfellas, or just another wiseguy, you won’t be able to “fuhgeddaboutdit”!

Manager at Botticino, Alisha Rampal and the Chief Chef, Sushil Multani explained us a bit about the fuhgeddaboudit festival and what it involves. How it is supposed to be light and quick and inspired from the Italian mafias.

These are the items included in the Italian fest.

Coming to the food, we were served fresh bread with a dip, at the start. It was quite fresh and some of them were really nice.

I went with the Chandon Brut Rose and hubby went with his favourite Sula Satori.

For the appetisers, we were served Compressed watermelon and goat cheese salad with citrus fruits, roasted pine nuts and lemon vinaigrette. Chef told us how the watermelon is compressed with kaffir lime leaves and the blend with citrus fruits, feta and roasted pine nuts was delish.

Compressed watermelon and goat cheese salad

And the Tomato and Bocconcini with fresh mozzarella and cherry tomatoes.

Tomato and Bocconcini

For main course, we were served Eggplant Parmigiana and Spinach Ricotta Crepes with roasted tomato sauce. The crepes were nice. I did like the blend of flavours in the Parmigiana but I am not a fan of eggplant, so couldn’t have much.

Eggplant Parmigiana
Spinach Ricotta Crepes

Since the food was taking time, we were served orange sorbet in between which was quite refreshing.

Orange Sorbet

And lastly, the Penne Arabiatta pasta with garlic, chilli flakes and tomatoes. Ok, so I like my pasta with an extra dash of olive oil and lots of parmesan. While this was supposed to be light and had no cheese, I missed my Parmesan. I wish I could have added the Parmesan additionally on top.

Penne Arabiatta

For the desserts, we had Panacotta with seasonal fruits and raspberry coulis topped with cinnamon honey and hubby went with Mango Cassata.

Panacotta with seasonal fruits and raspberry coulis
Mango Cassata

The panacotta was light and absolutely yummy with the fruits and a tinge of cinnamon honey in between every bite.

I was not very pleased with the waiting time though. For every dish, we had to wait for 20-25 minutes,and I thought according to the theme of the fest, it was supposed to be quick and ‘on the go’. Though I appreciate the chef cooked stuff fresh for us, but we were getting late, I hope that is not the case always.

Nonetheless, the food was nice and I had a great time. If you love Italian food, make sure you go for the fuhgeddaboudit festival at Trident, BKC. Tom is the last day!

Do you like the pics? Which is your favourite dish?

P.S: I was invited for the fest but that does not affect my review.

Shampoo MRP: Rs.575/- for 250ml (Buy HERE)

Ingredients:

Masque MRP: Rs.675/- for 196g (Buy HERE)

Ingredients:

I had received this combo of shampoo and masque in December, then there was this whole wedding and honeymoon thing. We went to Hong Kong, Macau and Andamans, basically 2 totally different places with dramatically different climatic conditions and water. By the end of my honeymoon, my hair felt like straw! And it is very rare that my hair feel so :/ So, you can feel the situation.

Cut to Dec end, when I came back, I saw this combo waiting for me at my place. I was like, let’s give it a try. Since this is meant for dry, damaged hair, maybe it can work the magic on my hair.

I tried it once AND kaboom!! My hair was back to normal, super soft and bouncy. I was surprised. Maybe it was both the water here in Mumbai and the shampoo that brought my hair back to life. But then, I cannot take away all the credit from these beauties.

The shampoo comes in a trademark L’Oreal Professionnel Expert Series shape bottle and both shampoo and masque are bronw in color. Actually, L’Oreal Professionel has different ranges, so usually salon people also distinguish on the basis of color. When they ask me which shampoo do I use, and I say Absolut Repair Lipidium, they say aahh the brown bottle, so I was like ya.

Masque comes in a long jar. Shampoo is runny and the masque is like quite thick, more thicker than a conditioner. It is very rich and creamy. Both the shampoo and masque are light yellow in color.

Shampoo foams well and cleanses amazingly well in just one wash. Both smell awesome! I take a fat dollop of the masque and use it as a conditioner.

I am a fan of this combo and have been using it since quite a long time now. In between, I had tried Head & Shoulders when I was facing some dandruff issues, but I made sure I used the masque though.

Though its priced a little high, but it lasts a very long time. Also the availability is an issue, since it is salon exclusive or available online on some sites.

I love this range. If you have normal to dry hair, you should definitely give this a try. Highly recommended!

Red Apple Lipstick Petal Pusher, Red 101 Review,Swatches

What the Company claims: Gluten Free, Paraben Free Lipstick That’s So Creamy, So Fresh, So Moisturizing…You’ll Freak Out If You Lose It

Red Apple Lipstick™ is independently lab-tested gluten free. Our formula is designed this way, and is the world’s best gluten free lipstick. Why is this important? A large portion of our population has an intolerance to gluten, meaning that any trace of gluten entering their system can cause undesirable symptoms.

Red Apple Lipstick™ is a mineral based lipstick that is enriched with a gluten free source of Vitamin E. It is non-toxic, gluten free and paraben free. Red Apple Lipstick™ is THE safe lipstick! Our lipsticks are designed to nourish and moisturize your lips while staying put.

Available in 43 shades.

MRP: $23.50 for 4.5g each

Red! 101: Red!™ by Red Apple Lipstick™ is our brightest red! This red was designed for those who are truly brave enough to wear red lipstick. Not for the faint of heart, Red!™ turns heads, gets attention and flutters hearts.

Red!™ has a subtle vanilla scent, giving you a perfectly kissable pout with a wonderful fragrance and taste. You won’t be disappointed in this bright red lipstick!

Red! is our signature blue-based red lipstick. This color is absolutely fabulous and serves up glamour without fail!
We’ve seen this color on women of all ages, skin tones and walks of life; it really becomes the rockstar of any makeup bag!

Petal Pusher: This light version of a hot pink is incredibly versatile. It can be worn super bold with two coats. You can tone it down for a perfect bright pink with only one coat.

Petal Pusher is the perfect pink – it’s soft hot pink hue will brighten any face. It’s versatility can go from day to night with one extra swipe! That’s worth smiling for!

Gluten, Soy, and Paraben Free. This formula does contain almond oil which gives it a slick and moisturizing feel.

You were looking for the hottest hot pink…and HERE it is! Combining all the most brilliant of bright pink hues: fuchsia, magenta, and hot pink! Bright – bold – fun…just like YOU!! Petal Pusher is an absolute must-have!

I love their simple black packaging. The colours are bright and pigmented. The lipsticks are buttery soft, especially Petal Pusher. It actually broke the time I tried swatching it :/ Maybe coz of the summer heat and travel it went through 😀

It goes on smooth and it doesn’t feel heavy at all. It does not accentuate the lines on the lips and keeps the lips moisturized and hydrated too.

Petal Pusher is a nice,soft rosy pink. Though its cool-toned, its not like Barbie pink and does not wash me out. I quite like this shade, I wish it did not break 🙁

Red! 101 is their signature red. A true red that would work for all skin tones. Its bright and bold, but not in your face or look I am wearing red.

Both the lipsticks are quite pigmented. Red stays on for a good 5-6 hours while the Petal Pusher stays on for 3-4 hours since it is very creamy.

 

Here is it on me..

Only downside would be the price and the availability. But if you are someone who can’t deal with lipsticks or the lips get very dry, this vegan,gluten free, safe and all natural lipsticks are made for you. Purest form of lipsticks with no chemicals at all.

Feels super light on lips and the finish as described satin, is not completely matte, but pretty comfortable and hydrating. It goes on glossy and settles for a more matte look in an hour.

Rockabilly is described as a cherry red, it is indeed a cool toned pink based cherry red but very wearable and not over bright, though it looks more pink in the bullet in bright light here.

Here is it on me..

Overall, I would say the Illamasqua Glamore Lipsticks are a must have! These are super pigmented,long staying,light,comfortable and have a nice range of shades. Only issues are pricing which is a bit high and the availability.
