My First Ever Fab Bag (Vellvette Bag) December ’13

Hello lovelies, hope you all had a great Christmas and you must be busy getting prepared for the New Year’s Eve! I can’t believe that New Year is around the corner. Feeling really excited! I have a hell lot of things listed for shopping and now wondering how would I manage to accomplish it. Anyways guys, I have just got my first ever Fab Bag in my hands today.

In case you are wondering, this is just the old wine in a new bottle. Vellvette Bag has now just changed their name to Fab Bag. But I personally liked their previous name. Anyways, let’s see how Fab is the bag-

The bag is just the typical black bag primped with some colourful stars on it which I found to be really gorgeous and very significant keeping the ongoing festivities in mind. They have done a good job on the bag, I must say. Here is a look of the bag-

This is the overview of what I got inside the bag-

Products that I got in this month’s Fab Bag-

1. MUA Out There Plumping Lip Gloss- Shocking Pink
2. Kama Ayurveda Lavender Patchouli Hair Conditioner
3. LA Splash Nail Splash- Blowfish Purple
4. Bonus: Anna Andre Nail Enamel Remover

What I love about this gloss is the shade. I was looking for a barbie pink lipstick for a few weeks and I got this in my December Fab Bag. Though MUA is nowhere a ‘deluxe’ brand but still I love it as I have never used any lip product from MUA. Also, it’s going to be my first pink lip-gloss. I have no idea why I didn’t got any description card with this product.

This will be my first product from this brand. I have seen some bloggers got this in their November Vellvette Bag. I loved the packaging and the product also seems to be good. I haven’t used it yet but I will in a few days.

This will be my third pink/fuchsia nail paint that I got this year. I liked the colour. The top part of it got some dents which I didn’t like at all. I am yet to use it.

I don’t get the point of sending a nail paint remover in a beauty subscription bag, that too from a brand like Anna Andre. It may have been Sally Hansen. Nevertheless, this remover says it’s Acetone free and enriched with Vitamin E. That sounds good. Let’s see how good does it work.

I have been lucky since I have subscribed for the Vellvette/Fab Bag this year. Where I heard a lot of bloggers sharing their disappointments, I found my bag full of pretty good products. Then comes the question how Anna Andre and MUA are ‘deluxe’ brands. But as the nail paint remover came as a bonus, I don’t mind either it is from a deluxe brand or else. Talking about organizing, I must consider it as a big mistake how the Team Fab Bag have forgotten to include a description card with the lip gloss they sent.

You can subscribe for your Fab Bag here.

Overall, I liked my this month’s Fab Bag and what came inside it. I am pretty much satisfied with what I got. The nail paint and the lip gloss appears to be very good. I haven’t used the conditioner and the nail paint remover yet but I hope they work good for me.

That was it guys. I will come up very soon with another new post. Till then, be safe, be happy. Good Night 😀

Eyeconic Kajal

Press Release: Lakme Launches 5 New Shades of Eyeconic Kajal

GO EYECONIC WITH WHITE 
BREAK THE CODES WITH WHITE ON YOUR EYES THIS NEW YEAR
LAKME LAUNCHES 5 NEW SHADES IN THE EYECONIC KAJAL PORTFOLIO

Mumbai, 23rd December, 2013: After the phenomenal success of Lakmé Eyeconic Black Kajal, Lakmé brings home yet another international trend in the form of Lakmé Eyeconic White- an innovation that’s likely to break all codes of traditional kajal usage. For years, the black kajal has remained an integral part of an Indian woman’s beauty regime, but the new Lakmé Eyeconic White promises to change the game for eye make-up. Spotted at several runways internationally this is a first of its kind introduction by Lakmé in India. Along with white, Lakmé also introduces four must-have shades of brown, blue, grey and green to the Eyeconic collection.

The Eyeconic shades by Lakmé are easy to apply and require zero maintenance, just like your regular black. In merely one stroke the kajal promises a smudge-free professional finish up to 10 hours. It comes with a waterproof formulation that allows one to be carefree while washing face or even travelling. It is dermatologically tested and is safe to apply with its two-way retractable twist-up format.

Talking about this new high-performance product, Arun Srinivas, VP Skin Care and Makeup, Lakmé says, “Indian women love to accentuate their eyes and the kajal remains an irreplaceable favourite. The success of Eyeconic Black encouraged us to look beyond the ordinary and we realize that our consumers are looking for subtle yet strong beauty statements that can enhance their overall look. Bearing this in mind, we now introduce the Eyeconic White – first of its kind innovation with a unique white packaging along with four more interesting shades that will take eye makeup to a new direction altogether.”

Speaking about the outstanding looks created for Eyeconic’s new range, Natasha Nischol, Lakmé Make-up Expert mentions, “The new range of Eyeconic is extremely unique and promising. White is an exciting color for the eyes, which can be used in the waterline to open up your eyes, or in the inner corners for the hint of brightness. Alternately you could also use it on the upper eye lids alone or with another color for a more dramatic effect. We have crafted some amazing looks with Kareena Kapoor to showcase the potential of this unusual color. Each color from the range is very unique and thoughtfully chosen to suit the Indian skin type. As a make-up professional, I am confident that this launch will surely create waves in the beauty and fashion scene in India.”

To get you started, Natasha Nischol has shared a cheat sheet with some quick eye looks to help you perfect the ‘white eye look’ this season.

Shades of Lakme Eyeconic Kajal are priced at Rs 250 (0.35 gm) and will be available at all leading beauty stores starting 21st December 2013.

Shopping made easy with iBhejo.com

My Experience with iBhejo.com

Long back in October I was contacted by a affiliate who wanted me to write a review for iBhejo.com and provided me with a voucher worth Rs 1000 to shop from the website and write a fair review for the readers of my blog. Honestly, before that I was unacquainted with the name of the website. Anyways, I visited the website immediately and found a bunch of amazing products available there. I was kind of lost in there among so many US brands. At the first look, I was shocked to see the prices, like Rs 961 for Almay is insane. But when I apprehended that this is all that they claim including shipping and Customs charges then I calmed down and realized how benefited I will be if I shop with iBhejo.com instead of shopping from US websites or other websites like ebay.com or amazon.com.
I placed my order at 6th November. I got a confirmation mail from the customer service instantly. At 8th November they provided me with the order tracking id. That means they had already processed the order within 2 days of placing order as they claimed, which is remarkable. At November 16, I got a mail from them saying that my order has been reached India. At November 19, the parcel from iBhejo.com was in my hands. So basically it took 13 days for the product to reach me. But I am sure it would have taken less time if it was a metro city. Anyways, let’s see these pictures-

They also gifted me a discount code for my next purchase. I overall like the whole experience and would love to shop with them again if I see any exciting deals. I hope you liked the review. New posts are to be posted soon. Keep reading. 
Though I was provided with a voucher by an affiliate but my review is totally unbiased regardless of the fact.

Press Release: Kérastase Introduces Volumifique, the renovation of its Volumactive range for fine, flyaway hair.

Women with fine hair often complain that their hair is fragile and their hair fibre tends to break easily. Fine hair tends to be flat at the roots and becomes oily quite quickly. Fine hair is also difficult to style and quickly loses its shape.
The strength and thickness of the hair depends on the structure of its cortex. The cortex is composed of keratin and makes up thebody of the hair fibre. The mass of the cortex defines the overall diameter of the hair fibre. For fine hair, the quality and mass the cortex are lower than that for thick hair and this is what makes fine hair look limp and more vulnerable to breakage.

Kérastase creates the Volumifique range to cater to the specific needs of fine hair. Building on Kérastase’s current range for fine hair Volumactive, the Volumifique range goes further in terms of performance and lightness. A volume innovation, Volumifique is Kérastase’s 1st thickening effect hair care range to create shapely hair texture. The products of the Volumifique range have a unique combination of Système Ampliflex and Intra-Cyclane.Système Ampliflex provides external action which reinforces the hair fibre and adds body and shine to the hair. Intra-Cyclane works from within to create long lasting shape memory.
Volumifique products offer textures especially tailored for fine hair. Stylight® Textures as they are called are the new generation of anti-heaviness textures which are completely absorbed by fine hair, offering volume and lightness.
Volumifique offers a 3 step regime that guarantees the transformation of fine hair:
01 Bathe: Bain Volumifique: Creates feather light volume on fine hair. Soft and light, the formula gives a visible thickening effect on the fibre without weighing it down.
Pack Size: 250ml, MRP: 1500 INR

02 Treat: Gelee Volumifique: Rinse-out transparent conditioner care with ultra-light texture that integrates the most powerful volumising ingredients. It offers soft cosmetic touch and spectacular volume.
Pack Size: 200ml, MRP: 1900 INR

03 TEXTURISE: Mousse Volumifique: Amplifying mousse that revives hair with long-lasting substantial volume and structure. Mousse Volumifique reinforces support and gives hair a natural feel and shiny finish. Mousse Volumifique Protects the hair from heat styling. Volume is safeguarded by an anti-static effect.
Pack size: 150ml, MRP: 1700 INR

The results of the Volumifique Range are visible almost instantaneously, with efficiency even on long hair. Roots are lifted. Hair is shaped uniformly. Hair becomes a playground for style. With time, shine is locked for a hair texture with depth and contrast. Volume and lightness are like imprinted into the hair.
Volumifique will be available across Kérastase Salons from the month of November onwards.

My Experience with the The November Vellvette Bag

Hello girls, finally I am back in action (read blogging). If you’re in my Facbook friend list then you might know what I was going through these days. My dog was ill for two weeks and he left us last Saturday. I was very heart-broken. My dog was my only best friend for last 13 years and you can feel how lonely am I feeling now. Nevertheless, let’s jump into the post or else I’ll start crying again.
As you all know I am very new in this world of Beauty Blogging. I just have found my interest in makeup and beauty. I am following a lot of beauty bloggers across the country and have seen them talking about one monthly beauty subscription box and that is the very famous Vellvette Box (now a bag). I wanted to try it as soon as possible because I have seen numerous tempting products coming in this bag. I subscribed for the October’13 Vellvette Bag.  I was not able to share with you my first Vellvette but I will share a picture of what I got in my first Vellvette Bag at the end of the post.
For those who are wandering about what this Vellvette Bag is, it’s an Indian monthly beauty subscription box which claims to ship you luxury beauty, makeup, skincare, bath and body and perfume samples of recognized brands from all over the world. At the time of registration they ask you to fill in a questionnaire about your preferences. But sadly they forget it during shipping. The one month subscription is worth Rs 499. Visit www.vellvette.com to know more about them.

Let’s get into the post now. This is my second Bag from Vellvette and I am really impressed with the products I got in this bag. The pink bag looks super cute with the black polka dots all over it. I think I am going to use it as a makeup pouch while travelling. This bag contains all the essentials for the wedding season. I got an assortment of makeup, bath and skincare products and one bonus item too. Check out what I got-

List of the Products I Got in the Bag-
1. Flormar Deluxe Shine Gloss Lipstick D-35
2. Votre Pore Shrinking Toner
3. I Love… Coconut and Cream Bubble bath and Shower Gel
4. Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream (Bonus Product)
November Vellvette Bag

The Lipstick I got in the box is quite impressive. It has a buttery texture to it and gives a sheer finish. I love the glossiness it gives to my lips. This is a little heavy on my lips, I feel like I’m wearing butter on my lips. It tends to melt a lot so I have to keep it in the fridge all the time. I don’t think I can carry it with me while travelling.
November Vellvette Bag
I gave this product to my mom and she is using it for 2 days. I think it’s a good product as she didn’t complain about it till now. The term ‘Pore Shrinking’ made me very interested in the results. I will be using it on my skin and write a review for you guys soon.
November Vellvette Bag
I am using this shower gel for 2 days and I like it so far. Sometimes I get very disturbed with the strong coconut-y fragrance. I hate, hate, hate the smell. But, unlike other shower gels that I have used earlier, this product doesn’t leave me with a weird soapy feeling even after washing myself.
November Vellvette Bag
I am yet to try this one. However, I don’t like the smell. It smells like the ayurvedic chapped lips and skin healers my grandma used to use. Also, the product is very thick in consistency.

This is a glimpse of what I got in my October Vellvette Bag-

My Note:

Being a new subscriber, honestly I didn’t know what to expect from them. But I was amazed to see the products came in my November Vellvette Bag. It’s pretty satisfactory. Also, they sent me a bonus product as a prize for the renewal of the subscription. So, I am quite happy with them till now. So, this was my experience with November Vellvette Bag. What is yours?

November Vellvette Bag
Thank you all for being with me, supporting me and liking my posts. After this long gap I promise to keep on writing. I have a lot of pending posts that will be published soon. Please keep up with me to read what I have to say. Thanks for being patient and not boycotting me 😛

So far I’ve found one bad thing about Jabong.com- it doesn’t deliver to my address! I have to order stuffs to my friend’s address and this is not at all convenient. I don’t know what reason is behind that. Seems that they only deliver to metros and big cities and don’t care about them who live in small towns. That is the only thing I didn’t like about Jabong and I hope they resolve the failing in near future.
The Packing- They wrap your products very carefully and sincerely. They provide good quality bubble wraps and also air bags if needed. Like, my box consisted of a nail-paint so they packed it with two extra air packets.

Now let’s move on to my shopping experience. This is not the first time when I shopped from Jabong. I have shopped once before. There has been a vast change in products and brands in the mean time. There are some new brands introduced now; they now have restocked some previously sold products. A multiplicity of new products has been added. I was baffled and couldn’t decide what to buy. Then I opted for the two things that my vanity was deprived of- The very hyped Maybelline Color Show Nail Paint (in Wine & Dine) as I thought that this shade will be perfect for winters and the second one was Maybelline Super Stay 14Hr Lipstick (in Eternal Rose) as I thought the same thing about it as well. I ordered from them on 1st November and they dispatched the order on the same day which is great. They informed me about the dispatch with email and SMS. The order was delivered to the allotted address on 5th November. That’s pretty fast!

Rating- I’ll give Jabong.com an 8/10. I’ll deduct 2 points for the delivery issue.
My Words- I love shopping Jabong.com. Only the delivery issue bothers me a lot. I am sure they will resolve the issue shortly. 

The website had provided me with a voucher but my review is totally unbiased regardless of the fact.
