What's In my FabBag: December 2016 Edition

Hi Everyone,

As yet another year comes to an end, lets us look at how FabBag has decided to close the year. FabBag has been the favourite of many bloggers including mine. It's USP is personalised curation and one product of customer's choice and preference almost every month.

So let us see how FabBag fares this month.

This month's bag has a gold and black checkered pattern, which honestly, is a bit too blingy for me. The theme goes with the season.... PARTYHOLIC!!

This month, FabBag has included 4 products out of which one make-up product was customer's choice, The be a Bombshell lipstain.

Natural Bath and Body Thank God It's Friday Hair Mist

Product Price: INR 525 for 100 ml

Sample Size in Bag: 50 ml

Its really a hair perfume..... I've never really had an bad hair odour problem, so I'm not sure I'm quite crazy about the product just yet.

Iba Halal Care Nourishing Foot Massage Cream

Product Price: INR 95/- for 50 gms

Sample Size in Bag: Full Size

I like the addition of this product in the this month's bag. My heels tend to crack in the dry winter months and this Foot Cream is a very welcome addition in the December Bag! 

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Skin Therapy Oil

Product Price: INR 460/- for 60 ml

Sample Size in Bag: 15 ml

My skin is definitely drier right now and I'm looking forward to see how this oil will work for me. However, I'm not so sure about the reduction of scars part.. 

be a Bombshell Lip Stain in the shade Bash (Coral)

Product Price: INR 750/- for 3.2 gms

Sample Size in Bag: Full Size

I selected this product from a range of 5 shades. Its a nice shade of coral. Watch out for a swatch and review post of this product.

My Verdict: So what do I think about this month's bag? I wouldn't say spectacular..... but I'd say 'Thoughtful'.

Whats in My FabBag? June 2016 Edition

Hello Everyone!

Its been a long while since I posted anything on the blog. Life has been crazy busy. So today I've cheated a bit. Instead of doing the work that I'm supposed to be doing, I'm writing a quick post!!

I was pleasantly surprised with such an early delivery of this month's FabBag. Usually it arrives by the 3rd or 4th of the month. This time the June bag was delivered on the 31st of May!!

This month's Bag has been titled The Beauty Addict....

The Bag comes printed with EAT SLEEP MAKEUP REPEAT. But it is interesting to note that this month's bag carries only one makeup product. The other three are really skin care. 

Without further ado, lets look at the contents of the Bag in detail.... 

Skin Yoga Coffee Body Scrub

Product Price: INR 845/- for 100 gms

Sample Size in Bag: Full Size

Coffee is a great exfoliant! And I love coffee. So I'm absolutely looking forward to indulging in this product!!

Johnson and Johnson RoC Anti Wrinkle Serum

Product Price: INR 2000/- for 30 ml

Sample Size in Bag: Full Size

I have mixed feelings about this product. I have read great things about this product in some international blogs. But the product that I have received was manufactured in 2014 and expires in five months..... 

Karite Buerre Pure Shea Butter

Product Price: INR 499/- for 50 gms

Sample Size in Bag: 20 gms

This promises to be a great product! It can be used as a lip balm or to soften elbow skin and heels! An All Rounder!

Be A Bombshell Metallic Eyeliner in Deja Vu

Product Price: INR 1000/- for 4.8 ml

Sample Size in Bag: Full Size

This was a product of choice in this month's bag. There was a choice between Eye Shadow Crayons and metallic eyeliners for Be A Bombshell. So I chose the eyeliner in a teal shade.

I think this month's Bag has been generous. Of the four products, three are full sized products. I'm looking forward to trying out all the products. Watch out for the  reviews soon..

Total Value of Bag: A Whopping INR 4045/- for a bag which costs about INR 499/-

Final Verdict: Highly recommended!

LOTD: Monsoon Greens

Hi Everyone!

Its been a while since I did a look. The monsoon rains have turned Delhi a beautiful green. So taking inspiration from this beautiful hue Delhi is sporting, I created this simple look. I wore this look to attend a puja ceremony at  friend's house. I've kept the look as natural and homey as possible since it was a small and intimate gathering. I have used a green, shimmery eye shadow from the Make Up Revolution London eye palette. I have kept the rest of the look neutral with peachy cheeks and nude lips, to draw attention to the eyes, which are the highlight of this look.

Products Used for the Look:

1. Polaar Icy Magic Instant Skin Perfector
2. Lakme 9 to 5 Flawless Makeup Foundation in Shell
3. Lakme Absolute Face Stylist Concealer in (05) Honey
4. Chambor Silver Shadow Compact (RR5) 
5. Beauty UK Blush in (04) Rustic Peach
6. Be  Bombshell All in One Stick in Champagne Shimmer
7. Make Up Revolution London Eye Shadow Palette in Redemption Palette Hot Smoked
8. Himalaya Kajal
9. Maybelline New York The Colossal Liner Pen in Black
10. Lakme Perfect Definition Lip Liner in (01) Irish Coffee
11. Maybelline New York Lip Polish in Glam 13

I did not use a mascara since it was really humid and as of now I do not own a water proof mascara. Idid not want to chance any mascara meltin down my eyelashes. I do not really like using waterproof mascara because it is difficult to remove and I don't like to scrub too hard around the very delicate eye area.

If you notice, I have not used a primer either. Actually I have been testing out the Polaar Icy Magic Instant Skin Perfector. I wanted to see how it would work without a primer.

What do you think of this look? Let me know in the comments section below!

P.S. Don't mind the hair. I've never been to good with hairdos and the humidity right now has messed it up further :(

Hello Everyone!

Its raining 'looks'... Well with the vacations on, I just have a bit more time than usual.This was a mid-summer wedding in Delhi. Its crazily hot this time of the year. So I did not want a very heavily laden look. I wanted the look to be light and airy, yet with a dash of colour. So I chose a grey Dhakai saree with a red border. I kept the look very minimalist, keeping in mind the hot evening. I used a neutral, shimmer palette for the eyes, peachy cheeks and tied the look together with a bright red lip colour.

Products Used:

1. Bodyography Foundation Primer
2. Olivia Foundation Pan Stick Shade Natural (03)
3. Maybelline New York Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting concealer in Honey
4. Faces Canada Concealer Stick in Medium
5. Maybelline New York All-in-One Two Way Compact in Sand Beige

11. Avon Lip Liner in Red Brick
12. ColorBar Deep Matte Lip Creme in Deep Red

That's all for now. Take Care!
