Fab Bag July 2018 – The Gotcha Covered : Unboxing & Review

Nisha Malik — Thu, 05 Jul 2018 11:13:03 +0000

Hey Gorgeous. It still feels like am racing against those waves, having the freshest pineapples and coconut water. I am hangover on to my vacation. This is a good thing, because going through withdrawal phase is nasty. I would still be imagining myself walking barefoot on the sea water-soaked-sand while smiling towards the sea which kinds of try to grab me with its waves, simultaneously adjusting back to my city life. I would swipe through my vacation pictures a 1000th time while noticing more details than before. There is no point cribbing about the still-packed-suitcases. I would unpack them with ease otherwise it will spoil the peace of mind I gained during my vacation. The reality hits me back when I see the stacked boxes of products that I need to write about. But hey, I love doing that. So let’s start with Fab Bag July 2018 edition which is themed on Monsoon – The Gotcha Covered Bag. Fab Bag July 2018 – The Gotcha Covered Bag I don’t know, it’s really the bag or it’s my spirit, I feel very good. I saw a mustard colored leather pouch as I un-boxed Fab Bag and I was happy. It looks very nice to me. The leather looks quite fancy. The products are too look different than the previous editions. Have a look: MYGLAMM Perfect Curves 2 in 1 Matte Lipstick & Lipliner – Debutante (Full Size – Rs. 795) Ozori – Volcanic Minerals Vitamin E Face Wash (Full Size: Rs. 99) APS Cosmteofood Whitening & Brightening Skin Diet Kit (Full Size : Rs. 250) Aaryanveda Hair Serum (Full Size Rs. 90) Fem Anti Darkening Hair Removal Cream (Rs. 58 for 30gm) HipHop Cleansing Charcoal Strip (Rs. 30 for 1 Strip) I received 4 full sized products and two samples including one makeup product. June Fab bag did not include hair care, but this bag includes a hair care product too. MYGLAMM Perfect Curves 2 in 1 Matte Lipstick & Lipliner – Debutante This chubby lipstick is my first product from MYGLAMM. I have been seeing beauty & makeup addicts rave a lot about MYGLAMM products a lot. I too am excited to use this lipstick. I am not sure if this would be able to serve as a lip liner too as the tip of the lipstick is quite blunt. Debutante is a shade meant for underplay. It’s a nice mix of pink & red while MYGLAMM website describes it as a brick pink shade. I will be putting up more swatches soon. It is bit costly at INR 795. Find complete review and swatches of Debutante here. Ozori – Volcanic Minerals Vitamin E Face Wash Volcanic beauty products are very popular. Ozori is a new brand to me and I have never heard about it. This is a parabene free & cruelty free brand. The packaging & the outlook of the product definitely makes it look classy. It smells quite mild and lathers well. Since it has got vitamin E and glycerin, it does not dry out skin while cleansing it. At INR 99 it is quite an affordable face wash. APS Cosmteofood Whitening & Brightening Skin Diet Kit Through Fab Bag only, I have used a lot of products from APS Cosmteofood. The products have worked great. This time, there is a one time use face cleanup kit which has 7 steps to a healthy skin. The kit claims to be suitable for all skin types but the 7 steps look quite lengthy to me. If this works good for skin, there is no harm in investing 250 bucks. Aaryanveda Hair Serum I have been very happy with my argan oil based serum which my little sister gifted me on her last visit to India. But, I would not mind trying out this walnut oil based hair serum. I have used Streax Walnut Hair Serum before and it was really nice. I am expecting the same form this hair serum too. It is also very affordable at INR 90 for 45ml. Fem Anti Darkening Hair Removal Cream Not a fan of hair removal creams, and not sure if I will be ever using it. This product exists from ages and glad that it has been advancing. Such instant hair removal creams are generally associated with darkening of skin, Fem is definitely trying to stay above the water with it’s anti darkening claim. HipHop Cleansing Charcoal Strip This is something, I would like to try out. I have never ever tried nose strips even though there is a massive invasion of blackheads over my nose. Personally I have used few products form HipHop in the past. I was a fan of there coffee bean scrub. The brand just vanished for some time. Glad it’s back now. The strip costs 30 bucks. I feel all the product in Fab Bag July 2018 are usable and very much apt for monsoon days. The bag itself is very cute and can be matched with outfits for casual meetings. I would be trying out the products and come up with detailed review super fast. I promise. Till Then, Stay Fab. Much Love, Nisha ❤

Fab Bag June 2018 – The #AllSheNeeds | Review| Unboxing

Nisha Malik — Mon, 25 Jun 2018 23:35:58 +0000

The week has started. And you are already past Monday. I hope your Monday was great. Monday blues are for real. I have experienced them while I was in school, college and IT industry. Specially when all the assignments and important meetings were scheduled for the morning hours of Monday. Seriously people? Use some logic. It is an universal truth that 90% of the students & employees want their Mondays off. You could expect the least out of them on a Monday. Every important things should be scheduled for mid weeks that would lead to better things happening. Moving on to how I am dong, I am feeling fabulous with my brand new Fab Bag 2018 bag which is themed as #AllSheNeeds. So basically Fab Bag has tried to put all the things together that a lady might need. It’s hard but I must say Fab Bag team has put nice efforts. The bag contains 4 skin & body care products while 2 makeup products. It kind of tried to cover the very basic necessities. Even though the team completely forget about hair needs, still I would congratulate them for putting together a nice bag. Fab Bag 2018 – The #AllSheNeeds Bag Beauty subscription boxes have been keeping us happy and all excited as we wait for our boxes to arrive every month. There are some surprises, some hits and some misses. Eventually our closet might run out of space but our hunger for beauty and makeup products never dying. In my Fab Bag June 2018 subscription bag, I got 6 products out of which 3 are full sized while 3 are samples. The bag contains 3 skin care products and a shower gel. Rest of the two products are from SUGAR including a liquid lipstick and a nail lacquer. Have a look: SUGAR Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick – 022 Mia Sangria (Full Size, Rs. 499) SUGAR Tic Tac Tow Nail Lacquer – 064 Pop The Purple (Full Size, Rs. 199) Kronokare Forest Of Bengal Shower Gel (Rs. 150 for 35ml) Luis & Luth Silver Face Gel (Full Size: Rs. 1299) Blossom Kochhar Aroma Magic Turmeric Cleanser For Combination Skin (Rs. 57 for 20gm) APS Cosmetofood Exfoliating Olive Scrub (Rs. 80 for 20ml) The Bag: This time I got a very basic bag in dual tone which is of high quality. The bag is beige and has a peach strip around its mouth. It definitely makes a nice travel pouch. SUGAR Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick – 022 Mia Sangria We are a fan of SUGAR Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipsticks, ain’t we? SUGAR liquid lipsticks are one of the long lasting lipsticks that I have ever come across. In my Fab Bag June 2018 edition, I got SUGAR Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick in Mia Sangria. It is a mauve colored lipstick. I am not a fan of purple shades, hence not that much excited. I would be putting up more swatches soon. SUGAR Tic Tac Toe Nail Lacquer – 064 Pop The Purple I love this Tic Tac Toe series from SUGAR. I have got many pieces from this range. Pop The Purple is a bright purple shade. It is pop of color. This shade is from classic range hence has bit of shine too. The color & the shine stays for about a week. Kronokare Forest Of Bengal Shower Gel This is the sweetest smelling shower gel I have ever used. It smells mostly of sweet & citrus fruits. The texture is gel based and lathers very well. I would like to buy this shower gel because it really uplifts my spirit. Luis & Luth Atomic Silver Face Gel Silver Gel is a new addition to the beauty world. It has anti ageing effects. Luis & Luth Atomic Silver Gel is the second silver gel I used. Before this gel, I tried on Mcaffeine Silver Gel which was really strong for my skin. I felt bit of redness on my face after using Mcaffeine Silver Gel. But Luis & Luth Silver Gel is very mild and does not irritate skin. Would keep you posted about its long term effects. Blossom Kochhar Aroma Magic Turmeric Cleanser For Combination Skin I have used Aroma Magic Mint Cleanser and kind of expected this turmeric cleanser to work for me. But this turmeric cleanser is too creamy for my skin type, specially during summer. I might try it next winter. APS Cosmetofood Exfoliating Olive Scrub APS Cosmetofood Spring Water was a nice product from the brand which I still use occasionally. I expect APS Cosmetofood Exfoliating Olive Scrub to be equally good, but not sure if I could use it over my oily skin. I might try this sample over my body though. These were the 6 items that I received in my Fab Bag June 2018 edition. The value of the bag is worth 2200 bucks. Going by value of the products I got, I think this month has been average as I did not like the color of the makeup products. I am looking forward to use the silver gel though. The cleanser & the scrub does not seem to be suitable for my skin type. What you think about my fab bag? Do you agree with my opinion on the bag? Leave your comments below. Much Love, Nisha ❤

Happy Hamper November 2017 : Review

Nisha Malik — Fri, 10 Nov 2017 12:40:52 +0000

I am so sorry girls, I have been trying hard but could not manage to post earlier. Either it’s home or PR events, I have been bit torn apart. Last night I sat down to do this article over Happy Hamper, my laptop crashed. Moving on, I want to talk about Happy Hamper November 217 edition. I received the box a day before yesterday and I really wanted to share the contents of my box. For those who are new to the concept, Happy Hamper is a subscription box, in which you receive beauty, makeup & accessories (check out my last month’s Happy Hamper here). The November edition of Happy Hamper let’s you curate your own box, i.e. you can choose what to add to your box. The basic box contains 2 products Mcaffeine Smooth Jazz Caffeine Body Butter (worth Rs. 399) & Bella Voste Gel Eye Liner (Rs. 399) which you can got only for Rs. 435. If you wan to add more products to your box you can add from the given choices. You can choose your favorite products from various categories such as Skin Care, Hair Care, Makeup etc. The respective price of every product you add to your box will be added to the total amount of your box. You can book you November box on HappyHamper.in. You can use HAPPYGLOSS5 to get a discount of 5% on your box while checking out. Let’s come back to the contents of my box. I got 5 products in my box out of which 2 products were there by default and I chose 3 products of my choice. The total of my box hence came to 735 INR. Happy Hamper November 2017 Here are the contents of my box: IRAA Instashine Conditioning Hair Mist (Rs. 265 For 100ml) Bella Voste Glitter Nailpolish (Rs. 350 for 9ml) Mcaffeine Smooth Jazz Caffeine Body Butter ( Rs. 399 for 50gm) Bella Voste Gel Eyeliner (Rs. 399 for 1.2g) Natural Concept Gel (Rs. 80 for 50g) IRAA Instashine Conditioning Hair Mist This is a hair mist. Hair mists are bit new to Indian market, and many brands are coming up with their formulation. A hair mist is something that can instantly freshen up your hair without washing them. But do not confuse it with a dry shampoo though. It is just suposed to be sprayed on hair to revive them. IRAA Instashine Conditioning Hair Mist is enriched with Green Apple & Green Tea. It smells heavenly of green apples. I think, It is quite handy for those days when I have to rush somewhere and I don’t have time for a head wash, specially during winter. It is quite affordable too. I am already loving Iraa Insta Renew Eye Cream and I hope the hair mist works fine for me. Bella Voste Glitter Nailpolish I received 2 products from Bella Voste in my box and this one turned out to be a dud. This glittery nail paint seems beautiful but is so runny that I could manage only to grab few glitter particles over my nails. It really drips. I don’t know if it’s just my piece but totally a deal breaker for me. I am amazed to see the high price. It is not worth even a 100 buck. I wish I had chosen a chubby lipstick in place of this glitter nail paint. Mcaffeine Smooth Jazz Caffeine Body Butter For me Mcaffeine Smooth Jazz Caffeine Body Butter is the star product of the box. It is such a smooth & nice smelling butter that I have started using it already. It goes on skin and it just gets absorbed really fast with any fuss. Does not give oily feeling. Also keeps skin moisturized & smooth. This product definitely deserve a detailed review. So I shall be reviewing it soon. Bella Voste Gel Eyeliner – Caramel Brown 04 This is another Bella Voste product from my box. I really liked it. I like to use brown liners when I go for bold lips. This brown liner has quite prominent shimmer but I like them. They really give a shine to my eyes. The color, pigmentation & staying power is nice too. It is very soft to use. Being a water proof liner, it definitely worth the price mentioned above. Natural Concept Gel – Orange You know I have an oily + acne prone skin, gels really suit my skin. Natural Concept Orange Gel is beautiful in color firstly because it’s orange. It smells nice & is not sticky at all. I would like to try it for some time before coming out with this benefits & reviews. Above all, it’s very affordable too. What can you get under a 100 rupees these days? These were the products that I got in my Happy Hamper November Box. Every body has another reason to be happy because you can really decide your products and choose what you really want. You can control the cost of the box too. I found this concept really helpful. Except one dud, I really liked the all the products. My box costed about 700 bucks but is worth more than 1490 bucks. I found it a nice deal. The products that I got in the box are the ones I really wanted, so they are all usable. I hope you enjoyed this box review. I believe you liked the products.

Fab Bag September 2017 – The Object Of Desire : Review

Nisha Malik — Fri, 01 Sep 2017 13:46:32 +0000

Hey Pretty Girls!! My Fab Bag is super early this time. It reached me on the very first day of the month. Awesome… right? So let me take you on a virtual tour of the products and the bag that I got this month. September Fab Bag 2017, is themed as The Object Of Desire. It is actually an anniversary bag. Congratulations to Fab Bag Team for the 5 fab years they have completed among us. It has been quite beautiful & glamorous time, I would say. I experienced a lot of self pampering since the day I started subscribing for Fab Bag. Making this bag a special one, Fab team packed 6 fabulous products out of which 3 are lip products. Supercilious. So let’s jump on to the bag and it’s contents. Hope you like them as much as I did. Fab Bag September 2017 – The Object Of Desire The theme sounds really sensuous. And the products quite justify the theme.The bag itself is quite a basic bag. It’s a cream colored, bit shiny & quality leather pouch that the Fab people has shipped this month. The bag could have been more desirable matching the theme. Here are 6 products that I received: Seasoul Moisture Matt Lead Free Lipstick – ML 12 ( Rs. 530/-) SUGAR Tic Tac Toe Pro Nail Lacquer – Rose And Rock (Rs. 299/-) Iraa Instarenew Multi Renew Under Eye Cream (Rs. 490 fr 20gm) Tvakh CE-Namon Lip Plumper (Rs. 225 for 6gm) Tvakh Midas Touch Ultra Nourishing Lip Tint ( Rs. 195) Seer Sedative Jasmine & Orange Soothing Yogurt Enzyme Body Cleanser (Rs. 72/- for 30ml) Seasoul Moisture Matt Lead Free Lipstick – ML 12 We just can’t get enough of lipsticks and Fab Bag knows this. With this bag, I received Seasoul Moisture Matte Lead Free Lipstick in ML 12 which is a pretty peach / subtle coral shade. The lipstick is moisturizing yet gives matte finish. It is bit pricey at Rs. 530, but is lead free lipstick which is a very big thing. Hence the price is justified. I have not tried the lipstick over my lips yet, hence can’t comment on it’s performance. SUGAR Tic Tac Toe Pro Nail Lacquer – Rose And Rock I love the Tic Tac Toe nail lacquer range from SUGAR. The range is vast, performing & affordable. The shade I got is Rose & Rock. It is a very pretty Shiny Rose shade. I was kind of hoping to get a similar shade for myself. Swatches will be out soon. Iraa Instarenew Multi Renew Under Eye Cream A fellow blogger reviewed this under eye cream from Iraa, and I quite liked the review. I have been using Oriflame’s eye cream from a while and kind of bored. I am going to switch to this new eye cream now. The texture of the eye cream is very lightweight. It absorbs very quickly under the eyes, leaving it moisturized without giving any shiny look. Looks quite promising. Need to test it’s efficacy on my dark circles. Tvakh CE-Namon Lip Plumper Fab Bag has been shipping out Tvakh products every month. This time I received two lip products from the same brand. I don’t know if it’s a mistake, but no issues. Tvakh CE-Namon Lip Plumper, of course contains Cinnamon which is a popular ingredient to give plumping effect to lips. The lip plumper also contains Argan Oil to condition the lips. Seems like a really nice lip treatment to me. Tvakh Midas Touch Ultra Nourishing Lip Tint It is another lip product from Tvakh. It is a lip tint which contains SPF 4. I don’t know how much effective SPF 4 is to protect lips. I think it’s as good as not having any SPF. But I am sure loving the gold colored flakes this lip tint has in it’s texture. It looks so beautiful that I do not want to use it. Seer Sedative Jasmine & Orange Soothing Yogurt Enzyme Body Cleanser It is a body cleanser sample from Seer Sedative. My first product form the brand. It smells heavenly of Jasmine. I have nice feeling about this product. I like to use flower based body washes & cleansers. The product is only 30ml, hence won’t last for long on my loofah. Tell me, isn’t the bag fabulous. The total cost of the products in the bag comes approximately 1800 bucks, which makes it a nice deal. I wish the bag could have been better, like I was smitten by last month’s bag. This month’s stars are the lip products that I received in the bag. I am also hopeful about the under eye cream. Will let you know, how the products fared on me. Thank you very much for your precious time. Keep Calm & Stay Fab.

Fab Bag August 2017 – The Flawless & Fierce : Review

Nisha Malik — Tue, 22 Aug 2017 13:00:07 +0000

Today I received my Fab Bag August subscription with a theme – The Flawless & Fierce. The star of this month is the bag itself for me. I also received a bright shade of red lipstick, but still, the bag is definitely the charm of August subscription. The bag received very late though. I always receive my fab bag in the very first week of every month, but this time, I received it in the 4th week. I actually shot an email to the Fab Bag people yesterday. Fab Bag August 2017 – The Flawless & Fierce This month’s bag is a beautiful black leather clutch. The quality of the bag is great. Can be used for casual outings. I wish it had a sling attached to it. You can book your bag from the official website of Fab Bag. What I got in my August Fab Bag? I got 4 products from different brands, including a lipstick, a hair mist, a face – body wrap and a sheet mask. Bella Voste Premium Lipstick – Warm Tan (Rs. 449) MOND’SUB Pearl Revitalizing & Brightening 3D Hanging Ears Neck & Facial Mask (Rs. 200) Neemli Naturals Four Clay Face & Body Wrap (Rs. 550 for 75gm) Natural Bath & Body Thank God It’s Friday! Hair Mist (Rs. 525 for 100ml) Now let me walk you through the products in detail: Bella Voste Premium Lipstick – Warm Tan Fab Bag brings really unknown makeup brands to limelight since the beginning. I have tried numerous lipsticks via Fab Bag, which I would never hear of otherwise. Bella Voste is a new brand to me but upon googling about it, I found that, it’s all over the shopping websites. It looks quite an affordable brand comprising of lipsticks, liners & nail paints. The lipstick I got in Warm Tan is a bright red shade. The lipstick texture is quite creamy & moisturizing. A detailed review will be up soon with more details and swatches. MOND’SUB Pearl Revitalizing & Brightening 3D Hanging Ears Neck & Facial Mask I got the same mask in my July GlamEgo bag too. I have not used it yet, I totally forgot about this sheet mask. Beauty bloggers are raving about this sheet mask while I still need to test it on my skin. I hope not to forget the masks to try out before they really expire while sitting in my closet. Neemli Naturals Four Clay Face Mask & Body Wrap I am a huge fan of Neemli Naturals and really admire the basic & natural ingredients they put into their products. I really admire their Coffee body wrap & Green tea lip scrub. I also have been using Charcoal face mask. I hope this Four Clay Face Mask product too impresses me. I like the quantity of the product given. It’s going to give many uses. Also the zip lock packaging is quite convenient to use. Natural Bath & Body Thank God It’s Friday! Hair Mist It is going to be my first hair mist. I have never used any hair mist. I don’t know what to expect out of it. It smells nice, sweet yet mild. The product size is good. I don’t think a hair mist is a must have product, but let’s see if this hair mist from Natural Bath & Body can change my opinion. This was my August Fab Bag. Talking about the theme, I am trying to relate the products to the theme. The bag is really charming which has a fierce look. Products are good, as in size and in usefulness. For the first time, there is no sample, and all are like full sized products from Fab Bag. Out of the 4 products , two are face masks, one is makeup and the last one is a hair care product. Hope the products can give a flawless look. The total of the products comes near about 1724 INR, sounds terrific? Let me know if what you think of the bag? Do you like to subscribe for such bags/boxes? Leave your comments. Love.

Fab Bag July 2017 – The Colour Drama : Review

Nisha Malik — Wed, 09 Aug 2017 23:35:19 +0000

Hi, After GlamEgo August Subscription, I am back with another beauty box subscription- Fab Bag July 2017. July is over, I know. I was away from home for some time. I only got this bag when I reached back home. So better late than never. I am putting up the contents of my July Fab Bag which ships with a theme – The Colour Drama. Actually I renewed my Fab Bag subscription in the last days of July, hence I received it just at the last month end. I was waiting for some nice offers that Fab Bag actually showers at the end of every month. Though it was nothing so fabulous, I had an offer to grab SUGAR Arrested For Over Stay Eye Liner in Black & Johara Creme Rich Color in Saucy Red, on 3 months subscription. I took it. On a side note, I find the theme bit absurd, since I am not able to relate the contents of the bag with the theme. Never Mind. Let’s move on to the bag. Fab Bag July 2017 – The Colour Drama First of all the bag that I got is really nice. It is a coral colored sturdy bag which could carry a lot of things like my mobile, card & money and some makeup too. The bag could be used on casual outings. Here are the are contents of my Fab Bag July subscription. SUGAR Arrested For Over Stay Waterproof Eyeliner – I’ll Be Black (Full Size Rs. 699) Kronokare Hydrate The Hair Shampoo (Rs. 165 for 55ml) JustHerbs Herb Enriched Skin Tint (Rs. 385 for 15ml) Tvakh Fruit Enzyme Alcohol Free Toner (Rs. 160 for 50ml) Bonus : Johara Creme Rich Lip Color – Saucy Red SUGAR Arrested For Over Stay Waterproof Eyeliner – I’ll Be Back The one reason I renewed my fab bag subscription is this new launch from SUGAR. This is a felt tip pen eyeliner, which is easy to carry and apply. SUGAR says it’s waterproof, but I was able to wash it easily with a bit of soap and water. Will be putting up a detailed review soon. Kronokare Hydrate The Hair Shampoo Honestly I have a nice haul of Kronokare products till now, all thanks to Fab Bag. I always receive at least one Kronokare product with Fab Bag every month and I have never used any of them yet. So they are kind of piling up in my dresser now. This shampoo looks promising though since it says it will hydrate hair. I really hope so. JustHerbs Herb Enriched Skin Tint This is a new launch from JustHerbs. The product gives medium coverage and sun protection too. I like how easily it spreads on my skin and feels lightweight too. But there is no shade selection. It is meant for every skin tone & every skin type. Tvakh Fruit Enzyme Alcohol Free Toner I have used Tvakh Vitamin C Toner, which was a nice one. The Fruit Enzyme toner is alcohol free hence will not irritate skin. I shall try to incorporate in my skin care. It is free of parabenes/ sulphates/ GMO / pathlates / petroleum oils. Johara Creme Rich Lip Color – Saucy Red This is my second lipstick from Johara, that to via Fab Bag. I have used Johara Cream Rich Lip Color in Poppy Coral which was not really coral. Saucy Red is cherry red shade while I was expecting it to be more on brighter shade. Not sure if I am going to use shade much as I am more into bright shades. These were the products that I got in my July Fab bag. The bag itself and the products (most of them) are very usable. I am eagerly waiting for my August Fab Bag. Will showcase it as soon as I receive it. Let me know what you think of the products. Lots Of Love.

GlamEgo August 2017 – Ingredient Magic : Review

Nisha Malik — Tue, 08 Aug 2017 23:35:48 +0000

I was out of the station for some time and as I reached home in Delhi today, I was greeted with lots of packages containing goodies. Among the packages were also, Fab Bag & Glamego. This post is going to be about Glamego August 2017 Ingredient Magic. GlamEgo is currently one of the most sought after beauty box right now. It gives 4-5 products out of which 2-3 are full-sized while others are decently sized so that you can get nice use out of the products to decide your take. So let’s jump over to the details of the August subscription of GlamEgo. GlamEgo box can be subscribed from its official website starting from 299 only for one month. You can subscribe for 3/6/12 months in one go which subsequently reduces the cost per box. GlamEgo August 2017 – Ingredient Magic Ingredient Magic is the theme of the current box. GlamEgo presents 4 products that are based on Charcoal, Brahmi & Amla, Vanilla & Magnolia. The products seem to be handpicked. I am really excited to try out the brands, most of which promise to be chemical-free & paraben-free. Charcoal Face Pack of Neemli (Rs. 550) Brahmi & Amla Hair Cleanser of BioBloom ( Rs. 399) Face Cream Deluxe Size Of The Nature’s Co (Rs. 550) BB Cream Of Inveda (Rs. 150) Neemli Activated Charcoal Face Mask I have already use Neemli Coffee Body Wrap & Neemli Green Tea Lip Scrub, and I am a fan of this brand. I am really excited to try out another product from the brand which happens to be a Charcoal face mask. Really cool. I shall try it very soon and will let you know my experience with the same. Update: I used this face pack and it turned out to be an okay product. It did not do anything miraculous to my skin. I feel activated charcoal is not something my skin likes. I am more of a sandalwood powder person. BioBloom Brahmi & Amla Hair Cleanser I have used BioBloom Lavender Hand Cream, which I found lightweight & smelling nice. BioBloom Brahmi & Amla Hair Cleanser is paraben-free & sulfate-free. Nice no? Another great product in the box. Update: I used this hair cleanser once and then I could not use it ever again. Because it made my already-dry hair drier. So it’s lying in my closet unused. The Nature’s Co Face Cream Deluxe Size I have received many such creams form TNC but I never use them. I am always afraid they might break out my acne-prone skin. I might keep aside for colder days. Not really looking forward to using it right away. This is a deluxe-sized product, which will give many uses. Update: I tried using this cream, but as I opened it, a heavy and sweet smell made me uncomfortable. I closed the lid and stacked it with Bio Bloom hair cleanser. It’s heavily scented for no reason. I ignored the flimsy packaging, but the scent really put me off. Its texture is thick for my oily skin. Dry skin people might like it. Inveda 8 in 1 BB Cream SPF 20 Yesterday only, I was ogling on this BB Cream from Inveda in a store in Gurgaon, because my current CC cream from Lakme, is almost over. I was really wanting to try out something. Glad I did not purchase that yesterday. Actually I was not much impressed by the shade selection in the BB Cream. There is only one shade. A limited shade selection is such a letdown. By the way, this is a paraben-free BB cream. Also, if you look at the only shade available, it’s very odd. It looks pinkish-greyish. My wheatish skin would never agree with it. So another waste product for me. These were the products inside my GlamEgo box. Sadly, none of the products is exciting for me. This box is all waste of money for me. Maybe my hopes are too high to meet these beauty boxes. Just saying. Have you received your GlamEgo box yet? What you got this time? Please share in the comment section. Have fun.

Nisha Malik — Mon, 17 Jul 2017 10:39:36 +0000

Mana Kadar Liplocked Lipstick in Serenity is wearable shade for everyday look. Pretty Mauve Pink for the mauve lovers. Texture is creamy, kind of accentuates fine lines and transfers a bit initially. Sturdy packaging.Wish it was more affordable & widely available being parabene free.

GlamEgo Box June 2017 : Unboxing & Review

You guessed it right. Beauty boxes have become my weakness, I just can’t stay away from them. At the starting of the month, I told you, I am thinking to get some fresh beauty boxes, GlamEgo is one of them (there are more). The theme of the box is Extracts Of Nature, quite catchy huh? I subscribed to it because this is the hottest buzz in the town plus it’s quite affordable at Rs. 299, isn’t it? GlamEgo June 2017: Extracts Of Nature GlamEgo too offers many subscription methods. So it is convenient to book your box for a few months & sit back to find specially curated products for you. I liked the fact about the subscription service that it really takes into account your skin type, complexion, hair type, makeup preference while packing up your goodies. Though you get 3-4 products, a mix of samples & full-sized products, but they are useful because they are going to suit your needs. So this feature of the subscription service gives it an edge over the others. GmaEgo Box Subscription Methods: 1 Month For Rs. 299 3 Months For Rs. 867 6 Months For 1674 12 Months for 3228 What did I get In My GlamEgo Box? The products are not a secret. It kind of kills the surprise factor. They release the products beforehand. I got 4 products out of which 2 are full-sized, while 2 are sample sized. SEASOUL CC Cream of Argan Oil & Dead Sea Minerals – Rs. 650 For 30ml (Full Sized) SEASOUL Anti Tan Pedicure Kit of Dead Sea Mud – Rs. 160 2 Sachet KRONOKARE Shower Gel of Caribbean Ginger – Rs. 120 for Deluxe Sized Sample KRONOKARE Glycerine Soap – Rs. 85 for Deluxe Sized Sample SEASOUL CC Cream of Argan Oil & Dead Sea Minerals I am hooked on BB & CC creams, they are my goto/everyday makeup. Feels like my second skin. I am happy to receive another CC cream to try on. The shade is Medium, looks bit dark in the swatch but goes natural upon blending. Shall be coming up with a complete review. Update: I could not get myself to wear this CC cream. It looks like mud on my skin. Why these natural brands fail to get a nice shade when it comes to BB/CC creams. Even the texture of the cream is not something I appreciate. It made me feel sweaty. I am highly disappointed. SEASOUL Anti Tan Pedicure Kit of Dead Sea Mud The Anti Tan Pedicure kit would be really handy for the weekly pedicure rituals. I generally scrub my feet with apricot based scrubs & moisturize them with some foot cream, but using a specially made kit for feet would be awesome. Update: I used this kit and it’s a nice product to pamper yourself at home. I did a pedicure at home using this kit. It removed a little bit of tan and dead skin cells from my feet. A nice product overall. KRONOKARE Glycerine Soap Glycerine keeps skin soft & nourished. It’s a sample sized product, I would be keeping it stored for travel times when I do not want to carry the full-sized products to save some space in my suitcase. Update: When a product contains lavender fragrance, I am all about it. I liked using this soap. It really smells nice. Gives a nice bathing experience. This soap was a sample size product hence it got used up very soon. KRONOKARE Shower Gel of Caribbean Ginger Another sample sized product from KRONOKARE only. It has a refreshing cool & bit of spicy smell. Tossed into my luggage. Update: Similar to the Lavender soap, I used this shower gel on my recent tour. It smelled nice and gave a refreshing experience. The only thing, I did not like is the fact that it left a slippery feeling on my skin. But that’s quite common with shower gels. And my GlamEgo Box is hence unboxed. All the products from the box are quite usable and practical too. All the products contain natural ingredients to comply with the theme of the box. This was a nice box overall. See you soon with the review of the products listed above. Till then, take care & miss me 🙂 Nisha Malik ❤ Facebook | Instagram
