A Little Pampering with Jabong.com- A Review

This is not my first time to write a review about Jabong.com, in point of fact I’ve done it before and you guys might have read it then. But unlike the previous one this is going to be rather a review than a rambling.
Jabong.com is one of India’s leading online shopping portals. The varieties of products and huge listing of brands have made it one of the largest online shops in Indian online market. There are a few online stores that people relies on blindly. Jabong.com is one of them.
The Ups-
  • Up to 30,000+ products in one place.
  • Wide range of products, from clothes to home decor, from cosmetics to personal care, from jewelry to accessories.
  • Outstanding customer service.
  • Never-ending offers and enticing discounts.
  • Caters both economic and high-end brands.
  • Easy payments. Cash on delivery is available.
  • Delivers really fast.

The Downs-
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.

MUA Glamour Nights Eye shadow Palette| Review and Swatches

As a makeup lover, I always wanted to have MUA products in my vanity. Since I don’t have a Paypal account I never could buy these awesome international products. But, when I saw MUA Glamour Nights palette is on sale at Jabong, I couldn’t resist myself. I bought it and now I am going to review and swatch it. I know many of you have done this before but I wanted to do it because I loved it so much and want to share with you J

Product Category: Eye shadow
Brand: MUA
Price: £4.00 
Packaging: I must say that the packaging is very sleek and has a professional touch to it. It’s so sleek that it can be easily carried in a clutch. It doesn’t come with a mirror; instead, it has a clear lid to it. It comes with a double-ended eye shadow applicator.
Shades: This palette has 12 shades. 7 of them are matte and 5 are shimmery. The shades don’t have names to them. The colors are very pigmented and stays for a long time. The colors are so pigmented that they show up properly without even applying a primer. Matte shades are really stays on the lid and the shimmery ones too don’t go all over the face. Shimmery shades are more pigmented than the matte shades and lighter shades have a poor pigmentation. 

The Swatches

The Top Row

The Bottom Row

I have swatched on my bare hand, without applying a primer or something else.
Pros:
  • It’s highly pigmented. The color pay-off is commendable.
  • Staying power is really good.
  • Assortment of the colors is very nice.
  • Convenient packaging.

Cons:

  • Availability.
  • Lighter shades are poorly pigmented.
  • Some of the shimmery shades might have fall outs.
Verdict: Glamour Nights is a great palette with 12 pigmented colors. All the shades are wearable and they are exactly what you need to do an eye makeup for a party. But, you can even create a day look using the matte colors. I will try to do a tutorial on that. Glamour Nights Palette is overall a good product to be in your vanity. This is certainly a great eye shadow palette in such a cheap price. I wish India had a good enough collection of MUA. Purchasing from the MUA website is good but the shipping charge is almost double the price. I recommend this product. 
My rating: I would give it a 4/5

Would I buy it again: As soon as I run out of it!
I have bought it from Jabong. It was actually priced 899 INR with a discount on the website but I got a discount of Rs 500 from the website. Jabong has a decent collection of MUA products. You can check here.

Back to School/College Fashion| Part 1 (Feat. Jabong.com)

Hello girls, as I promised, I am back today. If you have read my previous post then you’ll know that I am doing a “Back-to-School” series on this blog throughout the month. I will post up to two posts each week. But as the first week has passed, there will be more than two posts on one week. I have arranged all the posts in a particular manner. The first post will be about fashion, the second will be beauty, third hair, fourth tips and trick and after that I will post about miscellaneous topic. I hope you understood what I tried to say. Thanks.
