What's In My FabBag October 2017

Dear Readers,

It has been a long time since I have posted..... a really loooong time. There were moments when  I wan't sure I wanted to continue beauty blogging. I have been crazy busy living life. And beauty blogging was being pushed out of my list of priorities far too often. Besides, I wasn't able to work on any new material. All I was doing was just some beauty subscription roundups....

Incidentally this  post is more of the same. However, I want to revive my Random Things series. A lot of product reviews are due. and I know I haven't done a Cook With Me post in a long time. Let's give this another try....



So really what's in my FabBag this month? The theme for this month is 'Steal the Limelight'.

The Bag this month itself is quite blingy with gold and silver accents. Pretty attractive and eye-catching. 

And here is what's inside...... 

Yuana Premium Hair Oil

Product Price INR 337/- for 50 ml

Sample Size in the Bag: 50 ml

This hair oil is a mix of 7 fine oils. However, the base is light mineral oil. Hmmmm. I don't think I will use it on my scalp, but definitely on the hair lengths. 

Kronokare City Detox Face Wash

Product Price: INR 150/- for 30ml

Sample Size in Bag: 30 ml

I have always loved all the Kronokare products I have ever used, there body washes, body lotions. I am looking forward to try this face wash too!

Sugar Arch Rival Brow Definer in 01 Jerry Brown 

Product Price: INR 499/-

Sample Size in Bag: Full Size

What I love most about Sugar is the tongue in cheek names for their products! I do not have very thick brows and I need to fill them out when I wear more makeup than usual. I have already used it and I am quite loving it!

Mond'sub Gold Facial Sheet Mask

Product Price: INR 250/- for 60 gms

Sample Size in Bag: Full Size

This looks like an absolute luxe product! I am going to use it on Diwali day and give you an account of what it will do for me.

Total Value: INR 1236/-  For a Bag that is  priced at 599/-, this month is good value for money

Overall Verdict: Apart from the hair oil,  like all other products. Would I recommend buying? I would. The Brow definer, face wash and sheet mask are absolutely worth it!

What's in My FabBag? June 2017 Edition

Hi Everyone!

I know I had completely disappeared in the month of May and put up no new posts. A whole bunch of things were going on. My Dad's cook and my cleaning lady had gone on a month long leave and I had to shuttle between my home and Dad's to manage everything. On top of it all, I was under the weather for at least 10 days! So it was all crazy and I had no time to put up any posts. I did shoot a couple of videos but couldn't manage to edit them on time.... so...

Anyway, here we are. Let's do a quick roundup of what FabBag has for us this month.

The June FabBag is themed Boho Chic.


I like the understated Jute finish bag.



So here is this month's collection. There are 4 products in the Bag this month

BioBloom Foot Cream (Eucalyptus)

Product Price: INR 335/- for 50 gms

Sample Size in Bag: Full Size

Johara Creme Rich Lip Colour Cocoa Delight

Product Price: INR 395/- for 4.5 gms

Sample Size in Bag: Full Size

Sugar Twist and Shout FadeProof Kajal on 01 Black Velvet

Product price: INR 399/-

Sample size in Bag: Full Size

APS Cosmetofood Activated Spring Water

Product Price: 270/- for 50 ml

Sample size in Bag: Full Size

Hey that's all four full sized products! What I like best in this month's bag is the Sugar Twist and Shout Kajal. The Johara lipstick was this month's product of choice, so I chose this neutral brown. It will make a nice present, since I am drowning in lipsticks at the moment. The BioBloom foot cream is nice too, the Eucalyptus variant is quite refreshing and the cream itself gets absorbed quite easily. As for the APS Cosmetofood Activated Spring Water, check out the detailed video of my first impressions HERE

Value of Bag: INR 1399/-. That's great, because I paid INR 416/- for the bag (I have an annual subscription)

Overall Verdict: Great value for money Bag! Though none of the products were those that I desperately wanted, a woman can never have too many Kajals. If you like what you see, book your June Bag today!

What's In My FabBag? January 2017 Edition

My subscription to Fab Bag was expiring in December las year. I was faced with a choice of either letting it lapse, or renewing it for yet another year....... I thought long and hard and decided I loved FabBag too much to let it go out of my life.  I love to wait for my Bag every month. It is one of the most personalised beauty subscriptions. What I like best is that along with the surprise every month, usually I get to choose one make-up product from a fairly detailed line-up. So my decision made, I hit the renew button.

Now that my FabBag has arrived, here is a quick round-up.

Loving the Satin Purple clutch style bag!

Wella EIMI Perfect Me Lightweight BB Lotion

Product Price: INR 900/- for 100 ml

Sample Size in Bag: 6ml

For a moment I was foxed. BB Lotion from Wella? The hair people from Wella? BB Lotion? The I read more carefully. So its more like a Hair serum/smoothening lotion.

The Nature's Co. Garlic Anti Acne Cream

Product Price: INR 895/- 50 ml

Sample Size in Bag: 20 ml

Garlic to keep vampires at bay? Yes I do have acne prone skin. And I did try it out once. I'm not sure about the product yet, but will keep you posted.

Manna Kadar Liplicked Priming Wand in Joie 

Product Price: INR 1799/- 

Sample Size in Bag: Full Size

A Lovely matte nude pink lip crayon. Only does not quite suit my skin tone. I know just the person to gift it to...

MCaffeine Neem Caffeine Face Wash 

Product Price: INR 449/- for 150 ml

Sample Size in Bag: 50 ml

Face Energiser.... hmmmm.... worth trying out.

O3+ Derma Fresh Mask 

Product Price: INR 425/- for 50 ml 

Sample Size in Bag: Full Size

Brightening and Whitening says the sub text. I'm not sure about that, but it promises to nourish dehydrated, sensitive skin. Right now I am struggling with an acne outbreak. Once it clears out, I'll try it out and let you know if it does me any good.

Value of this Month's Bag: INR 2786/- approx. Well 2 full sized and one delux sized sample is generous. 

My Verdict: Buy it, for yourself or as a gift.... Buy it!

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.

Value of November Bag: 1222.5 (approx)

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

What's In My FabBag: September 2016 Edition

Hi Everyone!

This month, I really did have to wait for my FabBag. I did get a mail from the crew informing me that the delay was due to the late delivery of the Sugar Mascara. But anyway, the Bag did arrive today, the last day of September. 

Was the wait worth it? Let's find out.....

This month's theme was 'Eye Feel Pretty'. The Bag itself is quite interesting. The  front of the bag, as you can see, accepts the fact that life is not always perfect...

However, on the reverse side it celebrates he perfection of eye lashes...... 

Product selection for this month: 

Ava Face and Body Scrub

Product price: INR 325/- for 100 ml

Sample Size in Bag: 80 ml (Almost Full Size!!)

This product was included in the bag since the the bonus accessory that I had selected, apparently did not fulfill quality standards of FabBag. I am not complaining!

Neemli Tulsi and Sandalwood Body Wrap

Product Price: INR 550/- for 75 gms

Sample Size in Bag: 25 gms

Neemli is quite a new kid on the block. I've been getting their samples quite regularly in both FabBag and My Envy Box. I'm looking forward to trying this product out.

SaND Deadly Face Mask

Product Price: INR 1180/- for 100 gms

Sample size on Bag: 10-15 gms (approx., the packaging doesn't say)

I'm quite fond of SaND products. They are free of preservatives and other nasties. I love the "deadly" name of the product. Its is named so because it contains Dead Sea Mud.

Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus All Smooth Foundation  with SPF 15 (03 VF-G) 

Product Price: Not mentioned

Sample Size in Bag: 1.5ml x 8 sachets

I like Clinique Foundations, however this particular product is meant for Very dry to dry combination skin. Now I have combination skin which is towards the oily side. So I'm going to try this only in winters, when my skin is drier...

Sugar Lash Mob Limitless Mascara(01 Black with a Bang)

Product Price: INR 699/- for 9ml

Sample Size in Bag: Full Size

This was my choice product for my Bag, which delayed its delivery. I chose it from among other Sugar Eye products, especially their kohls. Other choice products included eyeshadow palettes  from C.A.L Los Angeles and Be A Bombshell eye shadow crayons. I'm really looking forward to trying the mascara. Watch out for the review!

As an apology for the delay, SUGAR has sent a discount coupon for Flat INR 200/- off for the next purchase on Sugar's website. I'm definitely using it!

Overall Value: A bit over INR 1499/-, not a bad deal when you pay 599/- for the Bag

Verdict: Good product selection and goodwill building with the Sugar Gift Voucher!

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!
