Feb 2017 Fab Bag Unboxing & Review

Hi guys,

I got my Feb Pucker Up Fab Bag today and quickly unboxed it.

MRP: Rs.599/- per month (Buy HERE)

Read my previous Fab Bag reviews:

I love the lipgloss and lip print on the bag for the ‘Pucker Up’ thing, it is absolutely perfect. And even the bag is quite nice for travel.

Products I got:

  • Sugar Liquid Lipstick Smudge Me Not in Suave Mauve- Full size (Rs.499)
  • Matra Holistic Lip Care in Kiwi- Full size (Rs.199)
  • Just Herbs Lively Clean Honey Exfoliating Facial Cleansing Gel- 50ml (Rs.230)
  • Batiste Dry Shampoo Floral & Flirty Blush in Cherry- Full size 50ml (Rs.299)

I had an option to pick one shade from the Sugar Liquid Lipstick and since I already had 4, I went with Suave Mauve which I didn’t have. Check the review and swatches of all 4 HERE

It’s a very pretty dusty nude mauve, great for fair to medium skin tones.

I love the Matra Lip Balm, it smells really refreshing and the ingredients has lot of good essential and base oils.

I have tried Just Herbs Honey Face Wash and Batiste Dry Shampoo before, like both. Glad I have it in mini sizes now, for travel.

Overall, the total price of the products in this month’s bag is Rs.1230/-. I wouldn’t say it’s a must buy but if you wanted to try Sugar Liquid Lipstick anyway, then you get 3 additional products plus the bag for just Rs.100/- extra, so that’s a good deal.

November 2016 My Envy Box Review, Unboxing & 20% Off Discount Code

Hi guys,

So I just got my November My Envy Box and it is so good, that I had to share it immediately!

First of, this box is beautiful! The summery pastel floral colors and design is so, so pretty! The theme for this month is ‘Handmade’, so all the products are natural and organic i.e. chemical free

MRP: Rs.850/- (Available HERE)

Products I got:

  • Neemli Naturals Shea Butter Body Polish/Scrub -Full size (Rs.475/- for 25g)
  • Aerth Hair Protein Pack- Full size (Rs.275/- for 150g)
  • Vert Lip Scrub- Full size (Rs.450/- for 10g)
  • The Green Meadow Lip Butter – Full size (Rs.400/- for 15ml)
  • Fuschia Verve Face Mask – Full size (Rs.450/- for 100g)

We have all 5 full sized products in this month’s My Envy Box! This has to be one of my favourite My Envy Boxes in a very long time!

Not only that, all products i.e. the lip butter, lip scrub, body scrub are perfect for the current winter season. My lips are dry as a desert currently and I am only surviving on lip scrubs and lip balms! So I am glad I got those two. Plus a good body scrub is always welcome to exfoliate those dead skin cells on the body.

Hair Protein Pack also sounds nice, this one has fenugreek, Bengal gram and all things good! Definitely trying this soon!

And last but not the least, Kiwi Asparagus Face Pack! I have never tried this combination but kiwi is super rich in Vitamin C, so I am definitely most excited to try this one.

I am super happy with this month’s My Envy Box, all products total up to Rs.2050/- and I have a 20% off discount coupon for you guys. I got a card in the box in which I found this discount coupon, use ‘REFER20‘ and get the box for Rs.680/-

Five full sized natural products for Rs.680/-, definitely a deal you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this month’s My Envy Box.

October 2016 3rd Anniversary My Envy Box Review

Hi guys,

So I finally got the October My Envy Box, this is their 3rd anniversary box and all the teaser emails where making me very curious, they had mentioned they have 8 products in this month’s box.

The box this month is a plain white one with black web design on it and it says ‘turns three’ below the My Envy Box logo.

MRP: Rs.850/- (Available HERE)

Products I got:

  • Ayca Body Wash Jasmine 100ml (Rs.875/- for 200ml)
  • Gulnare Seaflo Face Wash 120ml (Rs.350/-)
  • Vichy Ideal White Brightening Deep Cleansing Foam 15ml (Rs.1550/- for 100ml)
  • Forest Essentials Facial Cleansing Paste 15g (Full size: Rs. 1850/- for 30g)
  • Vert 100% Natural & Vegan Rose Petals Loose Powder (Full size: Rs.1250/- for 10g)
  • Kerastase Chronologiste Sample Vial
  • NFLM Nertia Nail Wraps- Rs.80
  • L’Occitane Volumizing Shampoo & Conditioner: 6ml sachets

I got the Zebra print black and white nail wraps in Nertia. I have tried the Gulnare face wash before and it’s quite good. The Ayca Jasmine Body Wash also smells really nice.

I am not much into whitening cleansing facial foam as they make my skin super stretchy and dry. I would have liked the essence though which is another option in the box. I wish My Envy Box gave options to subscribers on what they can choose in terms of shades or products, if they have a few different ones to offer. That would be very convenient.

Love the Forest Essentials Cleansing Paste, I wanted to try this one out, glad I got this. Also this is perfect for travelling. Even the Kerastase Chronologiste vial is perfect for travel.

The Vert Loose Powder is made from all natural, dried rose petals. It has a strong pink undertone and can be used as a blush or eyeshadow. This would make a beautiful blush! But the quantity is good enough to last a few generations 😀 I would suggest splitting it to half or 1/4th and sharing it with your friends/family.

The total value of all the products in this month’s box comes to around Rs.3750/- I am quite happy with the products, 3 are full sized while 3 are super deluxe samples.

I definitely recommend this month’s box! Total value for money.

New Luxury Beauty Box: VanityCask | Review & Unboxing

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.

MRP: Rs.999/- per box (Buy HERE)

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.

Have you heard of VanityCask? What do you think?

October 2016 Fab Bag Review & Unboxing

Hi guys,

I just got the October Fab Bag and recorded a video, here is the unboxing and a small review..

Read my previous Fab Bag reviews:

MRP: Rs.599/- per month (Buy HERE)

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.

YesStyle.com Unboxing: Korean Skincare & Makeup

Hi guys,

I am a big fan of Korean brands when it comes to skincare & makeup. Their makeup has super cute packaging and pigmented and bright, pretty shades! Also their skincare is fabulous, they follow extensive routines and an average Korean girl uses 14-16 products in the morning & night separately! Can say looking at their clear, translucent skin!

I got a box full of Korean skincare & makeup products from Yesstyle.com. Yesstyle stocks all Korean brands from Missha, Etude House, The Face Shop, Innisfree, Laneige, Tony Moly,etc. It also has Japanese brands like Shu Uemura, SK-II, Canmake, etc. And not only just beauty, it has fashion items from clothing, shoes, bags, accessories to basically everything. You will be hooked onto the site for hours!

Let’s look into the products I got, I got Top 10 Best-Selling Must Try products of 2016. They have a separate Top 10 Must try products category and all these products are listed there, go HERE

  • Berrisom Oops My Lip Tint Lovely Peach
  • Tony Moly I’m Real Mask Sheet 1pc- Rice
  • Beauty People 10 Seconds Auto Pencil Eyeliner Diamond Brown
  • Berrisom Oops Tint Cheek Cushion Sugar Pink
  • TOSOWOONG Blackhead & Sebum Out Nose Pack 8pcs
  • Laneige Lip Sleeping Pack 20g
  • MACQUEEN Creamy Lip & Cheek Tint (#01 Light Pink)
  • Etude House Collagen Eye Patch
  • Etude House Precious Mineral BB Cream Cover & Bright Fit SPF30 PA++
  • Etude House Color My Brow 9ml

All the products are pretty interesting. I have already tried the Berrisom Oops My Lip Tint Peel Off in Lovely Peach and also recorded a video, that will be coming soon. Subscribe to my channel to stay notified.

I have tried the Etude House BB Cream before, it was in a different packaging then, read HERE. Or if this is a different variant, I am not really sure coz the name is the same. I absolutely loved that BB Cream and I would so glad if it’s the same one and the same shade.

Also excited to try the Blackhead nose pack and eye patch. My lips need the sleeping pack/mask as they are in a very dry state right now :/ I am glad I got this at the right moment.

Also both the Macqueen Creamy Lip & Cheek Tint & the Berrisom Oops Cheek Tint are soft mauve pink and everyday shades which I am looking forward to try.

I was looking for a brow mascara since a long time and the Etude House Color My Brow in Brown is just perfect. And also the Diamond brown eyeliner. Also have tried many sheet masks but I don’t think I have tried one from Tony Moly, so would try that soon. You can follow me on Snapchat (@bhumika_t) for mini reviews, pictures, experiences 😀 I share it all.

Overall I am quite happy with all the stuff and excited to try most of these 😀

Have you tried anything from Yesstyle.com? Do you like Korean skincare & makeup?

September 2016 My Envy Box Review & Unboxing

Hi guys,

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.

MRP: Rs.850/- (Available HERE)

Products I got:

  • 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

August 2016 Fab Bag Unboxing

Hi guys,

I got the August Fab Bag today and as usual doing the unboxing on the same day.

Read my previous Fab Bag reviews:

MRP: Rs.599/- per month (Buy HERE)

This month’s theme is ‘What The Chic’

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

Products I got:

  • Geri G Foundation: Rs. 2500
  • Natural Bath & Body Grapefruit & Vitamin C Face Masque- 50ml- Rs.325/- for 100ml
  • Kronokare Anti Turm Repairing Hair Oil- Rs.225/- for 30ml
  • Just Herbs Malabar Lemongrass Body Wash- 50ml- Rs.545 for 200ml
  • Livon Serum 3 sachets worth Rs.15

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.

You can can choose from any ONE from : hydrating lip gloss, volumizing mascara, weightless foundation OR multi-purpose blending eye & cheek duo! Choice is available on first-come-first-served basis, till stocks last.

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 😀

July My Envy Box Review & Unboxing

Hi guys,

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.

MRP: Rs.850/- (Available HERE)

Let’s see what I got in this month’s 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.

What did you get in your July My Envy Box?
