About icustommadeit.com: ‘icustommadeit’ was founded on the belief that customization is the core of any merchandise today. In May 2012 they created an online marketplace that is driven by the lust of beautiful and innovative personalization and run on entrepreneurial ethos. Retailing beautiful, handcrafted iconic stuff which is more SPECIAL and more You! Is their passion.
Why icustommadeit?
You’d be amazed how many companies don’t listen to their customers’ needs. The customers perception is not their reality. So the buyers wistfully accept the limited editions and end up paying a bomb!
In a world of stereotypes, icustommadeit is connecting the world at large to the creativity of the individual. With the mindset to help buyers and professional creators make serendipitous discoveries, offering the finest quality custom products, in an ever-expanding array of categories. Our mission is to re-imagine commerce in ways that make us dearly loved by both shoppers and sellers.
You can either buy from the variety of products available on the site and mind you, they have everything from jewellery to accessories, home decor, furniture,handmade shoes, clothing,painting,etc. or you can even get whatever you like CUSTOM MADE!
Now isn’t that amazing! There are so many times we love a particular product but don’t like the color or the glitter or an aspect in the product that could be modified. Well, now we can 🙂 That happens to me a lot as well, I hate fake diamante on clutches, clothing,etc., I completely detest it and wish it wasn’t a part of the item.
icustommadeit can alter and make things as per your liking. I absolutely love their current collection too, here are a few of my favourites..
Open toed blue printed peep toes, they are studded with rhinestones and have a contoured footbed which makes it super comfortable to walk in. The front platform also gives support, so no more pain with heels! The print plus rhinestones give it a classy look and it would work with most of your Indian dresses and western wear.
A classic red georgette saree with a heavy embroidered border. It is classy and can be worn on weddings and receptions with the right jewellery and accessories.
What are you waiting for? They are also offering a voucher worth Rs.500/- on new signups currently.
There are some things that I found pretty interesting and useful for most of us, on the website are customised leather jackets, phone covers,personalised gold jewellery and furniture.handmade shoes, funky sneakers,etc.
Also a lot of gift items like bike cufflinks for your biker friends, a doctor keychain for your doctor friends/cousins,guitars, bespoke pens, etc.
Overall, icustommadeit is a must visit whenever you are looking for something special, exquisite or a gift for someone. I highly recommend checking out icustommadeit for all your custom needs.
What the Company claims: Kawar dead sea facial mask
Kawar Dead Sea Facial Mask is one of the best Dead Sea cosmetics, prepared and purified mechanically. Aloe Vera, a natural ingredient, is added to keep your skin’s elasticity. This mask helps clean and open pores, and purifies and tightens the skin to feed the cells with many nutrients
Qty: 150ml
Finish: Handmade
Inspiration: Dead sea
With the increase in salinity and potash Dead Sea is not just famous for its uniqueness of not harbouring any lives but it is also known for its soil which is full of many minerals present in nature. Years and years of research have shown Dead Sea minerals to cure diseases and aches and the huge salt mixture present in the water has created a by product that does wonders to the skin
To start with, I know the tube has a big spelling error ‘Daed Sea’ but it is all natural and manmade and I guess it is made in a smaller batch and through small time artisans for packing,etc.
The Dead Sea of Jordan is supposed to be very good for skin with all the minerals and salts present in it. The main base ingredient in this mask is the dead sea soil. It is infused with the goodness of aloe vera and clay.
Now clay helps clean and tighten pores and controls oil production on the skin. Aloe Vera of course soothes and moisturises the skin.
It comes in a tube form and is a large tube. The mask is ash grey in color and clay like in texture but is a bit runny. Even though you shake the tube well before dispensing, it is runny and you have to be careful to not get excess product which usually happens with this one.
It is smooth to apply and does not tug since it is quite runny. I keep the mask for 15-20 minutes, though it dries completely in 10 minutes.
Me with the Mask :p
And while washing off, like I do with all face masks, I scrub the skin a bit with the mask. My skin feels fresh,renewed and tight. I even saw a difference in break outs with its regular usage, though when you stop using this for a long time in between, break outs start again.
I agree it is on the expensive side, but then it is all natural and made with dead sea. And also this tube is like huge and it will last a good time.

From Amazon, Flipkart to Jabong, Koovs, StalkBuyLove, lingerie from Zivame to luxury from Darveys, it’s all in here. You just need to select a category from Clothing,Shoes,Bags, Jewellery and there are sub-categories like Ethnic wear,Lingerie, Plus size, Maternity, Skirts, Dresses,etc. within Clothing.

I am on a shopping spree right now..I tried out Vouchercloud and using the coupons, shopped from Fashionandyou.com and Voxpopclothing.com
They had a 20% off on all orders on Fashionandyou.com coupon and that was over and above the discounts the website already had.
I got 20% off using the coupon code mentioned on Vouchercloud over and above the pretty good 50% discount on Femella on fashionandyou. I bought this pretty aqua blue Femella dress and a short sleeves printed top and studded black ballet flats from Steppings which again already had 50% off. Happy me 😀
Vouchercloud also had a Voxpopclothing Buy 3 Get 2 offer. I have never shopped from Voxpop, so this was the first. I checked out the site and they had some pretty cool and quirky stuff.
I ordered 2 fun tees and one quirky PJ’s and got 2 tees free..again a super deal!
I am quite happy with my purchases and Vouchercloud..I have seen tons of coupon websites and they pretty much have the same deals leading to the websites which already promote their sales and discounts enough on social media and through emails and messages,so there is practically nothing new.

After Diwali and New Year and all the Indian wear, I am back with an OOTD again. I have so many Little Black Dresses (LBD’s) but a Little White Dress is also crucial in your wardrobe.
I went for a white bodycon Little White Dress (LWD) this time. It fits like a glove and of course I had to wear my shapewear underneath it (Sigh! Girl’s problems) But it looks quite elegant and chic with the gold chain detailing on the shoulders.
I skipped a statement necklace since it had the chain detailing and went for statement gold earrings instead. And finished it with gold and stone bracelet and rings from Silvette. I am absolutely loving them, these days <3
Finally my black suede block heels with gold ankle strap.
I also layered it with a polka dots denim blazer. This blazer is so multi-use,would work with many of my outfits from denims to dresses. Its warm, thick, fits perfectly, snugs correctly and looks amazing. What else would one want from a blazer ?! 😀 I love it!
Shop for Bridal Lingerie,Bikini,etc from PrivyPleasures.com
Yes, you read it right. Since, I am getting married in 5 months, bridal lingerie shopping was also obviously on my list. And I would not like to shop for that with my mom, of course :p That would be so embarrassing.
I can go with my girlfriends. My friend who got married last year, spent a bomb at La Senza. I have shopped for some things before from La Senza and from another good site for shopping lingerie.
This time, I shopped from another site,I got the opportunity to review and at the right time, coz I was anyways looking for some bridal lingerie. Also, if you have a beach holiday planned for your honeymoon, a good bikini is also something, you need in your collection.
About: PrivyPleasures, Is a place where you can find products for all your fantasy needs. It’s the Indian online Shop where you can find everything from rare to find exotic lingerie, costumes, stocking to any accessories you may need.
We assure you of complete privacy and anonymity for all of your purchases. All your purchases would be sent to you in discreet packages, with a non-descriptive return address, avoiding embarrassment.
We provide you with Indian & International brands of the highest quality in erotic clothing and accessories. We house brands such as, HUSTLER, Magic silk, electric lingerie and we are always looking to extend our brands and ranges wherever we can.
You can take your pleasures to the next level, Guaranteed!
They have some pretty se*y bikinis and lingerie sets, night gowns, lacy see throughs, g strings and also role play costumes. You will find the raunchiest stuff here. And if you not into those, you can still find something hot for yourself. They have a separate bridal lingerie section too.
I got this turquoise blue sheer mesh chemise with open-back, lace hem, ruched satin overlay, and rhinestone accents. I can’t describe how se*y it looks and feels ! I just love it <3
I also liked this lace pajama set and did buy it along with the turquoise blue chemise..but the pyjamas were slightly tight and I had to return them..so got the bikini later..
The shopping experience was easy. I got the stuff delivered in a day through FedEx. And they have free shipping above Rs.500/- below which they have Rs.50/- shipping cost. Though not happy with the fact that they charge Rs.100/- extra for COD. For online payment, no additional charges.
I am happy with the stuff..and most of the stuff is free size, so not much of an issue with that. I definitely recommend checking out the site whether you are searching for good lingerie or bikinis which are on an affordable side. Or better still, why not let your husband or would-be surf the site and decide 😉
Where do you shop for lingerie from ? Your favorite store ? Online or in stores ?
P.S: I was offered a voucher but that has not affected my opinion.

I had specs from my 4th standard and there were only these 2-3 opticians in your local market in those days. A proper ophthalmologist would check your power and prescribe the number.

You can see the different views from a 360 degrees angle and also on your own pic before buying. They also have a try and buy policy which means you pay cash on delivery, only if you try it and like it. I love that !
I am really loving those cat eyed geeky glasses these days and eyeing one from Lenskart. Definitely getting it.

About Natural Mantra: NaturalMantra is found by Nishant Nayak..here is his story.. When our daughter was an infant, she developed eczema and the commercial lotions we tried not only didn’t work, but they were filled with chemicals that caused her to have an allergic reaction. So, we began a search for something non-toxic for our daughter’s skin.
After reading many labels and reviews, speaking with pediatricians, other moms, and scouring websites, we finally found an organic, natural solution that helped her. In the process, we educated ourselves and found that – after living in the U.S. for five years and moving back to India – there was not one website or one store that combined natural, organic and eco-friendly products. This was in direct contrast to what we experienced in the United States where we could go into most stores and find natural, organic products sitting on the shelves.
The Natural Mantra Vision
We started Natural Mantra to provide a one-stop shop for parents and eco-conscious shoppers with a wide selection of natural, organic and eco-friendly products.
Why buy natural, organic eco-friendly products when they appear to cost more than seemingly comparable products? Well, the truth is they are not in fact, comparable. Products that are healthier for you, your family and the environment reflect a level of care, research and quality that the other mass-produced products lack. Many people find the organic, eco-friendly products work more effectively and they need to use less because natural products tend to use pure, undiluted and uncontaminated ingredients. Therefore, the little extra spent on natural products turns out to be the better value.
Not only is it a better value, it is an investment in the health of your children, yourselves and the future of our planet. We believe that everyone should have access to safe, healthy, eco-friendly products. Every product you see on NaturalMantra.com is of the highest quality, natural, organic and eco-friendly at a competitive price. At NaturalMantra.com you will find some amazing earth-friendly products. More importantly, this is the comprehensive source for sustainable products that come from passionate sellers for thoughtful shoppers like you.
As a founder, I want you to ‘feel good’ not only about the products you buy but also about your complete customer experience. I would like to welcome you to experience a world of unique, organic, sustainable lifestyle products that will change the way you shop.
Yours in good health and green living and a warm welcome to a sustainable natural living..
So by now…you know what all it is about..its about eco- friendly and natural products sans any toxins, chemicals, parabens and stuff..
Here is what qualifies as ‘Natural’ for them..
They have brands like Omved, Auravedic, OGMama, Neev, Clean Planet, Rustic Art, Soulflower,etc..I got a few mails where people wanted to know where can they buy Auravedic stuff from..Now you can do that online sitting at your home 🙂
They have everything from handmade soaps to natural and chemical free skincare, clothes for yoga, recyclable totes, candles, oils, diffusers according to chakras of body,etc..I quite liked that concept of having an essential oil or candle based on the eight chakras of body.
They have Free Shipping on orders above Rs. 1000/- and a flat rate of Rs. 50/- below that. They accept all kinds of payment modes..and also have Cash on Delivery option at Rs. 20/- extra. They generally use Aramex and like..and deliver in 1-2 days. And the products are packed well in newspapers within a huge box..
Here is what I ordered…
There was also this handwritten Thank you note by Nishant himself..which I found quiet sweet..and I also got a small tea candle as a gift..
Overall I was quite satisfied with the experience..What I feel can get better is the prices..they can offer more discounts too..
Check out the site if you generally use natural eco friendly products or you searching those for your baby.
P.S: I was offered a voucher to shop for but it has not affected my opinion.
