Neemli Coffee & Cocoa Body Wrap- Full size- Rs.550/- (75g)
Wikka Beauty Potion- Full size- Rs.700/- (15g)
Eyova Hair Oil- Full size- Rs.590/- (50ml)
All Good Scents Rose & Jasmine- 2ml vials
Gardner Street Tea Glow- 3 sachets
I am so glad they have added 4 full sized products this time. And also all 6 products are an interesting mix from tea to perfume to body wrap and one makeup product.
Essence lip liners would be in red, nude and pink. I got the red one and I don’t mind. It would work with all red lipsticks.
Neemli makes very good body products and this is a full sized body wrap, quite excited to try this one.
Wikka has aromatherapy products and this is a face moisturizer with Aloe vera, Avocado and Patchouli and Chamomile essential oil, I would be trying this tom onwards. Smells really good!
All Good Scents makes good perfumes, I wish they had included small 5ml/10ml bottles. Even one 10ml would do instead of 2 small vials. Considering they are not pricey, slightly bigger samples are better.
Lastly we have the Eyova Hair oil, this has egg yolk extracts and I have heard mixed reviews about this one. Some love it and some hate it. I am not sure if I will use this as I am a vegetarian, also the egg smell is pretty strong of this one. I might give it a try or give it to a friend.
Overall the box has products of value above Rs.2000/- and I am pretty happy with everything. Highly recommend this month’s box 🙂
So as it’s 1st of the month, I got my March Fab Bag today. I know all of you are always excited about the Fab Bag unboxing, so I try and do it as soon as possible.
It’s a dusty purple/burgundy colored bag, they had given an option to choose the bag too this month, out of this March bag and two previous Fab Bags, I went with this as I already had those and wanted something new. I love the color and the criss cross textured pattern
Sugar Tip Tap Toe Nail Lacquer 003 Burn Your Beiges (Full size) : Rs.199/-
Kronokare Flower Powder Face Toner – 55ml
Moha Herbal Shower Gel- 30ml
Ayorma SPF 40 Sun Block- 10g
Natural Bath & Body Beautiful Day Body Mist- 50ml
Though there are 6 products this time, the Ayorma one is a small sample, but I am glad they didn’t include that and give only 5 products.
I had the option to choose the shade in the Seduction Lipstick out of 4 shades, and I went with this Nude Love. I love this pinky brown color, perfect for everyday wear. There were reds too in the options, if you would like that.
Seduction Nude Love
I have tried Moha Herbal products before and quite like them, looking forward to this shower gel. It smells very citrusy and refreshing, perfect for summers.
I am glad they included the new Sugar launch i.e. the nail paint in this month’s box. I wasn’t expecting it, though would have loved a color option in that. I would have preferred a brighter, fun summer color.
The Kronokare Face Toner looks the most interesting to me, I like the spray bottle, would be using it from today. Kronokare makes chemical free, natural products and some of them are pretty unique and nice. I have some high expectations from this toner.
The Ayorma Sun Block is SPF 40 and has a herbal smell, let’s see how this one works. But a pretty tiny sample though, 20-30g would have been nice.
And lastly, the Natural Body Mist. Absolutely love the smell of this! It’s floral and summery, a lily-jasmine like mix.
The total value of the products comes to around Rs.700-725
Overall I would say it’s an ok bag comparing the prices of the products as none of the products/samples are expensive. You can go for it if you would like to try these.
New Luxury Beauty Box: VanityCask | Review & Unboxing
Hi guys,
I have come across a new luxury beauty box in the market which is VanityCask. I tried their skincare box this month and here are my thoughts..
About: VanityCask is a beauty box that gets delivered to your home periodically. It contains samples of luxury beauty brands, handpicked by experts, to suit Indians. Our first box, for example, contains 5 skincare samples from international brands such as Clinque, Vichy, Votre, Kama and Thalgo.
This is their first skincare box, next they are coming up with haircare and bath & body box.
It comes in a sleek, black box packaging with a magnetic fold. They have their logo in pink on top. The box is quite sturdy and nice, the contents inside are in a pink cloth tie up bag.
Products I got:
Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream
Kama Ayurveda Rejuvenating & Brightening Night Cream
Thalgo Ultra Hydra Marine Mask
Votre Absolute Hydration Moisturizer
Vichy Capital Soleil SPF50 Sunscreen
Now I like the fact that they have not included sachets, but good decent sized samples. Especially Clinique & Votre are very good sizes. Even Kama Ayurveda night cream is pretty decent size. I would have liked 2-3 more tubes of Thalgo and Vichy though.
The box comes with a booklet which has more details about each box, including the key ingredients and directions to use. Also they have a few offers at the end, like this time they have the Anjali Mukherjee’s Rs.1000 voucher.
They claim to have luxury beauty brands only and each box will have 5 items. So that’s a plus point, as we know there would be no unknown brand and 5 items for sure.
I would have liked the price to be Rs.800-850 though, as Rs.999/- is a little expensive, but if I get a few more tubes of each sample, then I guess it’s fine. Also if they come up with a luxury makeup box, then I definitely don’t mind Rs.999/-. I hope soon 😀
Things I liked:
Decent sized samples
All luxury brands
Free Shipping & Payment on Delivery
Assured 5 items
Discounts & offers
Detailed booklet
Things that could be better:
Priced a little lower
More quantity of smaller tubes
Overall, I would say it’s a nice box to try if you love luxury beauty brands and would like to try more samples first, before investing in full sized products. Especially for people who don’t live in metro cities and do not have easy access to the stores to go and check out the testers or get samples. Now you can sit at home and try out these luxury beauty samples, and then order the full sized online, if the product works for you.
It’s the Festive/Diwali edition and the bag was a metallic gold clutch this time. I like the clutch but I wish the quality was a little better and it was stiffer.
Products I got:
CAL Finish Up Compact C02: INR 650
Votre Lip Gel Scrub (10g): INR 300
Kaya Brightening Serum (5ml): INR 1490 for 30ml
Vedaearth Cleansing Facial Oil: INR 350
Stay Quirky Nail Polish: INR 165 for 6ml
Total value of the products: INR 1715
I am quite happy with the CAL full sized compact and cleansing oil. Also liked the serum and nail paint, not a fan of the smell of the gel lip scrub, though I would use it. I hope the smell doesn’t bother much.
Overall, pretty decent bag. You can pick any makeup product of your choice, I went with the compact. Recommend this month’s Fab Bag.
Did you get your October Fab Bag? What did you pick?
I got my September My Envy Box just now. This month’s theme is ‘Travel’ and I absolutely love the suitcase shaped box! Definitely keeping this box 😀 It looks so cute, I love the designs each month.
Dermalogica Oil Free Matte sachet: Rs 3825 for 50ml
Kronokare City Detox Face Wash 30ml deluxe sample: Rs 395 for 100ml
TRUUTH Beauty Formula Tablets: Rs 400 for 30 pills
Ma Earth Botanicals Rose Facial Scrub 40g Deluxe Sample: Rs 875 for 125g
C.A.L Detail Me Mascara: Rs. 450 for 12ml
C.A.L. Muah Collection Lip Gloss: Rs 450 for 10ml
Unfortunately my Kronokare face wash leaked inside the box, half of the face wash smeared all over the box. I cleaned the box and let it dry, I hope it doesn’t feel soapy or sticky.
The Kronokare City Detox face wash has grapefruit oil and lavender oil. It smells really good, looking forward to try this.
Another product that impressed me is the Ma Earth Botanicals Rose Scrub, it’s in dry form with crushed rose petals in it. Smells absolutely amazing, I am most excited to try this out.
I got two full sized makeup products from C.A.L. I have never heard of this brand, so I searched a bit. CAL Cosmetics LA is a new Indian brand and have a range of face, eyes and lip products. I got the lip gloss in the shade ‘Spicy’ from their Muah Collection, not sure if it’s High Gloss or Stay On, but considering how pigmented and staining it is, I believe it is from Stay On Range. I love the bright coral colour and the staying power is pretty good for a gloss, it’s more like those Maybelline Velvet Matte Lip Colours.
Also got the CAL Detail Me Mascara. I quite like the gold packaging, the outer boxes for both the products were a little rusty. I am not sure why.
The TRUUTH Beauty Formula pack of 30 tablets is a new ‘supplements’ introduction in My Envy Box. It has Biotin, Collagen and claims to be good for hair, nails and skin. Since this has red mark, I am not sure if I will have these as I am a pure vegetarian. I wish they had included something with green mark which everyone can have, or confirmed before sending this or given an option.
And finally Dermalogica Matte Sunscreen small sachet sample, I don’t like sachets so don’t have anything much to say about this. Dermalogica always has super tiny one time use samples. If My Envy Box includes Dermalogica samples, they should include at least 4-5 of these.
Also this month My Envy Jewellery Box has Simran Chhabra designs, you can get extra 10% off using ‘SIMJB10’ and get the box at Rs.2205/-
Overall I quite like the Ma Botanicals Rose Scrub and looking forward to try both of the CAL products. In terms of value for money, this month’s box is definitely total value for money! You get 3 full sized and 2 deluxe sixed samples worth Rs.1700! Recommended

The bag is faux leather and navy blue with pink purple polka dots. It is quite sturdy and nice, quality wise.

I got an option to choose one makeup product from Geri G. this month. Geri G. Makeup products are a line of the Hollywood Makeup Artist Geri Giagnorio
Every product in this collection features Geri G’s proprietary Nanomarine-5 ingredient mix of omegas, antioxidants, aloe vera, proteins, and retinyl palmitate for your most radiant skin ever. All products are vegan and cruelty-free.

I went with the foundation in Medium and I am really looking forward to trying that out, I hope the shade matches well.
Apart from that the Lemongrass Body wash and Grapefruit Face Masque are quite interesting too.
I quite liked this month’s bag, apart from the full sized foundation, also for the deluxe sized samples. I do recommend this month’ bag but make sure you subscribe quickly to get makeup of your choice 😀
I just got the My Envy Box for the month of July. The theme is ‘Band, Baajaa Beauty’ and it’s curated by WedMeGood. The box itself is very pretty, it is neon pink with gold intricate work on it.
I had seen a sneak peek in the email and knew there were two full sized products from SkinYoga and Gulnare in this month’ box.
SkinYoga Marigold Foot Soak- Full Size (Rs. 695/-)
Gulnare Glow Girl Shimmering Dry Oil – Full size (Rs.1250/-)
Kama Ayurveda Kumkumadi Brightening Scrub -5g sample
Kama Ayurveda Hand Cream- 5g sample
Kerastase Chronologiste Oil- 3ml sample
In total there are 5 products in this month’s box, but except the 2 full sized products, rest of the samples are very tiny. I do prefer deluxe sized samples which have 30g or 30ml product, I do not like the 5g and 5ml tiny samples which hardly serve the purpose.
The foot soak and shimmering body oil do look interesting, but I would have liked body scrub or Gulnare moisturiser/hand cream.
Overall the value of the two full sized products do make up for the cost of the box, but I would suggest go for this month’s box only if you use/interested in trying out the foot soak or shimmering body oil. Or else, can skip this month’ box.

How many Indian subscription boxes have you tried till now?
It’s a cute bag, blue faux leather smooth finish bag with pastel pink lips print all over the bag, I quite liked the bag.
Products I got:
Sugar It’s A Pout Time Lipstick in Peachy Little Liars- Rs.599
Neemli Naturals Bengal Gram Exfoliator- Rs.425/- for 50g
Pep Moisture Velvet Shampoo- Rs.119/- for 50ml
Johara Instant Radiance Face Scrub- Rs.100 for 15g
Total value of the products: Rs.1245
Starting with the Sugar Lipstick, I am very happy to get this one in this month’s bag, I think I had got one earlier in March or April when they had launched, the shade was Mad Magenta. This time I got a chance to pick the shade and I went with Peachy Little Liars, they have added two new shades, one this and the other red.
I absolutely love the shade, it’s not a peach but more of a pink brown nude. I will be posting a pic wearing that on my Instagram soon.
Neemli Naturals Bengal Gram exfoliator is a clay based face pack which needs to be rubbed after it days, so that it even exfoliates skin. It is on the lines of a ubtan, and can be used both for the face and body. Though it is very expensive to be used for the body and you will need the whole pack for one time use, I will be sticking to using it for the face. It has multani mitti, turmeric, gram flour, rice flour and sandalwood powder.
I have the Johara Instant Radiance face scrub before (full review HERE) and quite like it, this sample is very tiny though, but this is good for travel and might last 3 uses.
I have never tried Pep Moisture Velvet Shampoo, this has Oat Proteins and claims to make hair very soft and manageable in few uses. This 50 ml bottle should last 7-8 uses, again perfect for travel. I am looking forward to trying this out.
I like the Sugar Lipstick and Neemli scrub, both the full sized products in the bag. I won’t say it’s a must buy, but you can if you want to try Sugar lipstick.
Also only members with 3,6 or 12 months subscriptions will get a chance to choose the shade, while others who buy only for this month, will not get the option to choose the shade.
