Unboxing Fab Bag January 2017 : Bring It On

Nisha Malik — Sat, 21 Jan 2017 10:05:11 +0000

Hi, After waiting for about 3 weeks, finally January 2017 Fab Bag arrived today in the morning. as soon as I unwrapped the package to find the bag, my son exclaimed, “hellofock”, he meant purple. Actually he knows all the colours by name, I don’t know why but he seemed to have nicknamed, the purple colour as “hellofock”. When I heard this word for the first time, few months back, I laughed a lot but I could not understand, what he was trying to say. So he pointed to things, by colour. Red, blue, hellofock (purple). When I point to something purple and say “It’s hellofock” , he would be like, “No, it’s puple (purple).” You see, only he can say “hellofock”. Coming back to this month’s Fab Bag, this time, as already seen on other blogs, I was expecting a clutch type bag, but the colour was a surprise. I got min in purple colour. Which is adorable. I would have liked the bag in pink colour also, just saying. In case you do not know much about Fab Bag, let me brief you. Fab bag is an innovative idea to make you experience luxurious skin/hair/body products from various international brands via providing you with samples in a monthly fee of Rs. 599. You can also also subscribe for 3/6/12 months which lowers the monthly cost of the bag subsequently. You can order your fab bag visiting their website Fabbag.com. From last 2-3 months I was not subscribing to Fab Bag, since I was not really impressed by the contents. But I was missing Fab Bag. On January 1st, I checked Fabbag.com to see, what could I expect this month. I saw this clutch type bag which looked really fancy. Also the product listing was decent. So I straight away subscribed for 6 months, which also entitled me for a bonus product, I will disclose later in the post. My fab bag got late this month since the fab bag people have a policy to ship new orders starting from the 3rd week of every month. But hopefully from next month my Fab bag will be on time. Have a look inside my Fab bag, see What I got. There is a welcome note in the bag, where all the products that I got in the bag are listed. It also states the product quantity & price. Sugar Lash Mob Limitless Mascara – Black With a Bang (Full Size: Rs. 699). O3+ Mattifying Gel Cream SPF 50 (Full Size : 385) MCaffeine Neem Caffeine Face Wash – 50 ml (Rs. 449 for 150 ml) The Nature’s Co, White Tea Night Cream – 20ml (Rs. 895 for 50ml) Wella EIMI Perfect Me Lightweight BB Lotion – 6ml (Rs. 900 for 100ml) Bonus : SUGAR Stroke Of Genius Heavy Duty Kohl The SUGAR Goodies After I placed my order on Fab bag’s website I got an email from them, asking me to choose a makeup product for January month fab bag. There were some lip crayons and Sugar goodies to choose from. I chose SUGAR Lash Bomb Mascara. Also, as a bonus for subscribing for 6 months, I got SUGAR Heavy Duty Kohl in Black. I am yet to test the mascara, but, I already have used their Kohl in the past. Since the Kohl is supposed to be sharpened after some use, a cosmetic sharpener is also shipped with the kohl. MCaffeine Neem Caffeine Face Wash Next I found a blue coloured face wash from MCaffeine, which supposedly contains Neem, Caffeine, Aloe Vera & Taurine. They call it face energizer. I loved the bright blue coloour and refreshing smell of this face wash. Will be trying it out soon. O3+ Mattifying Gel Cream SPF 50 The Fab bag team shipped a sunscreen this time. It is a gel based and mattifying sunscreen which contain SPF 50, O3+ Mattifying Sunscreen SPF 50. Now that’s really heavy duty but desirable for next summer months. Since I have oily skin, a gel based sunscreen is very great option. I have been using O3+ Agelock Vitamin C Booster Serum already which is an impressive product. Hope fully this sunscreen will also fare well on my skin. The Nature’s Co. White Tea Night Cream I have heard a lot about this night cream, but never bought it. Tight now I am hookedo n The Body Shop Oils Of Life Intensely Revitalising Sleeping Cream, but I would sure try this giving the TBS one a break. Wella EIMI Perfect Me BB Lotion I got a hair product too in my current fab bag. It is from Wella. It is a serum type thing in a sachet called BB Lotion for hair. Now brands are being really innovative with their product names, I feel. It’s 6ml, I think, I would be able to get one or, maximum 2 usage out of this for my mid length hair. Will let you know about the after effects. Update: Wella EIMI Perfect Me BB Lotion reviewed here. Overall, this month’s fab bag was a success to me. The products differ very much from the previous bags and seem to be much usable to me. My favourite from the bag are Sugar goodies and the Night Cream. So that was all about my current month’s fab bag. I hope you enjoyed the contents, as I did. I will soon put reviews of the products, I got in here. Take care, XOXO.

Essentials Restocked

Since my last empties post, I have been restocking stuff that are essential for my skin care. Have a look. Night Creams – The Body Shop & L’Oreal Paris: I know you will ask why so many night creams. The Body Shop Oils of Life is my current favourite. I can’t stop using it, it’s so addictive. The Body Shop Vitamin E Night Cream is a high in moisture cream, which suits my hubby. My sister gifted me L’Oreal Paris White Perfect Laser Night Cream, since she did not like the way it stings her. While I have used it during last winters, and I didn’t feel much sting. I might cheat on the body shop’s oils of life and use L’Oreal one some nights. I will review these night creams soon. Night Serum: I am quite loving this Vitamin C Serum from O3+. This is my second bottle. One lasted me exactly for 3 and a half months. Using a serum before a night cream, is a deadly combo. Oriflame Optimals Eye Cream : I have this habit of using a separate eye cream because, I may not use a moisturiser always. I alternate between Forest Essentials Eye Cream & Oriflame Optimals Seeing Is Believing. Biotique Bio Clove: Even though it’s winters but my hormones probably don’t know this. I still get small zits, nothing major. This clove oil based face pack comes handy. Maybelline Gel Eye Liner: My HG Black Eye Liner. I have been using it from more than 5 years. It lasts very long. Maybelline White Super Fresh Compact : I am not a regular compact wearer, but sometimes, I need one, when I just need to even out my skin tone without having to wear a foundation. Reviewed here. I have got some bath and body products too, will share pretty soon. Take Care. Love.

O3+ Agelock Vitamin C Booster Serum : Review

Nisha Malik — Wed, 05 Oct 2016 21:31:28 +0000

Hello Ladies, all set with your morning cup of coffee? I am a teaholic by the way. My morning just can’t take off until I have a nice cup of tea. That is the most relaxing part of my day. Coming back to our beeswax, recently I recovered from a very bad breakout due to La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo (another Love-hate story), I was looking for something to help me with the post acne scars. I recently finished off Za Perfect Solution Youth Whitening Serum. My perfect serum is which addresses my dark spots + ageing skin without breaking me out. This sounds pretty simple, and most of the cosmetics companies sell their products claiming the same. I have, too, came across so many products, in past, that seemed like my going-to-be-HG products. But soon I found them in my never-ever-use-again trash bin , like L’oreal Paris Youth Code Youth Booster Serum & Olay Total Effects 7 in 1 Anti-Ageing Day Cream to name the biggest duds. From my experience, I knew, Za can’t help me (with dark spots). I was intentionally looking for a Vitamin C serum, because of its ability to erase dark spots faster and provide anti-aging benefits to the skin. Somehow, I stumbled upon O3+ Agelock Vitamin C booster Serum via an online shopping website. I went through a few reviews online as I always do. It showed some potential and I bought it. O3+ Claims: O3+ Agelock Vitamin C serum helps in brightening & whitening the skin while unifying the skin tone and enhancing the glow. Price: Priced at Rs. 1350 for 30 ml. But I bought it for Rs. 1199 at a discounted price from Jabong.com. Ingredients: Aqua, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (orange) Peel Extract, Lactic Acid, Sodium PCA, Aloe Bardadensis Leaf Extract. Texture, Colour & Smell: Its consistency is watery and clear. And smell is pretty mild not irritating. Packaging: Comes in a see through orange-colored glass bottle with a dropper. How to Use: Apply tiny dots of serum on your face and once it penetrates in the skin, blend it lightly and quickly all over. What I do is I clean my face with a cleanser, then apply the serum on my face & neck blending it simultaneously. Availability: Available at online as well as offline stores. My Skin type: Oily, Acne Prone & Sensitive My experience with O3+ Agelock Vitamin C Serum: It has been about 20 days since I started using it. I use it during night because anti ageing products are supposed to be used during night only. The main ingredient is Vitamin C which can make your skin photosensitive. You must use a sun block during the day especially if you are using any anti-ageing product. Coming back to the product, it comes with a dropper so that you don’t have to dip your fingers into the product to take out the product. Initially, I applied the whole dropper, and within 2 days I got rashes at several places on my face. I was using too much. I took a break for like 2 days, and then started applying the serum only half the dropper on face and then rest on my neck. Continuing the same routine, it’s giving me results. Talking about the results, my recent acne scars has faded to about 50% within 15 days, which nothing has ever achieved for me ever. My skin has got little brightening effect too. And all this without getting any breakouts. Touch wood. Vitamin C is highly volatile in nature and whenever it comes in direct contact with air/sunlight, its effectiveness is ruined. This serum contains passive ascorbic acid, which gets activated only once it’s rubbed into the skin. Hence all the potency is directly delivered to your skin. I quite liked this innovative idea. Likes: Highly effective in reducing acne scars. Visible result within 2 weeks. Gets absorbed quickly without leaving any stickiness. No breakouts attributed by the serum.Little quantity required, hence lasts longer than other serums of same quantity. Delivers anti-ageing benefits. Suitable for all skin types. Hygienic Packaging. Dislikes: Price is little on higher side. Need to use sun protection since vitamin c can make your skin photosensitive. Need to be careful with the glass bottle. Word Of Caution: Start using small quantity of the product, otherwise, your skin may get rashes. Rating: 5/5 ( don’t care about the price when it delivers, what it claims to). Final Words: Oily skinned (+ acne prone) beauties, grab your bottle now. This serum works to lighten dark spots and pigmentation. Gives supple and soft skin.
