My Envy Box March 2017 Edition

Hi Everyone!

We are moving from spring into summer. It means that the air around us is changing. So our beauty regimen needs to change too. Starting from skin care and make up, to fragrances, pamper yourself from inside out. The theme itself for this month is RELAX. RENEW. REFRESH

My Envy Box will help you pamper yourself as the season shifts. Let us see how.....

The Box itself looks lovely and fresh with water - colour floral accents. 

Gardener Street Tea - Glow

Product Price: INR 450/- for 20 sachets

Sample Size in Box: 3 sachets

I love green tea. And when it comes enriched with hibiscus and marigold, it jus reaches another level! 

All Good Scents Jasmine and Rose

Product Price: INR 1190/- for 50 ml

Sample Size in Box: 2 vials 2 ml each

Perfumes are perennial, but it is an essential in summers! These two fragrances, rose and jasmine are very typically Indian. I have always been partial to floral scents and I'm happy that these two are part of this month's box.

Eyova Hair Oil

Product Price: INR 590/- for 50 ml

Sample Size in Box: Full Size

I did not know about egg oil. Now I do. I am really curious about this product and I'll let you know how it works for me.

Essence Lip Liner in 15 Honey Berry

Product Price: INR 129/- for 1 gm

Sample Size in Box: Full Size

This month MEB allows you to choose your preferred makeup product. They offered 3 variants of Essence Lip Liners. I like this idea since I can pick colours I do not have or those more suitable for my complexion.

Wicca Beauty Potion

Product Price: INR 700/- for 15 gms

Sample Size in Box: Full Size

I've used this product a couple of times. On first impression it did not feel very moisturizing or hydrating on my skin. The air is quite dry with very low humidity right now. So I'm going to reserve my judgement of the product till I use it in the more humid months.

Neemli Coffee and Cocoa Body Wrap

Product Price: INR 550/- for 75 gms

Sample Size in Box: Full Size

A product to pamper the body too. I love coffee. I am looking forward to trying out this body wrap!

Total Value of Box: INR 2086/- approx. Great value for money since you pay only INR 850/- for the box!

Overall Verdict: I really like this month's box. It brings you not 4 but actually 7 products, of which 4 are full size. Each of the sample targets a different beauty concern. I would say, close your eyes and buy it!

My Envy Box is a subscription service which brings you 4-5 trial sized beauty products (typically 2ml-10ml) from the top international luxury and prestige brands delivered to your door step every month. Priced at INR 850/- for a month, it may be subscribed for 3, 6, or 12 months. You may subscribe to this service HERE

My Fabbag June 2015

Hi All!

This month's Fabbag post got a bit delayed. Internet issues..... In fact you will see that the quality of the photo uploads has suffered as well. So what I will do for this post is that I will include a brief write up of the products as well.

 The June Bag is not shaped like regular pouches. Its more like a cuboid shape. My brother quite liked the bag. So, I've given him the bag for his traveling needs.

The June 2015 Fabbag includes the following products:

1. Cuccio Colour - Manhattan Mayhem
2. Cuccio Naturale Butter Blend - Papaya & Guava
3. Votre Fresh Cooling Sun Protection Mist SPF 25
4. Ananda Spa Light Moisturiser for Oily Skin
5. All Good Scents Perfume - Rockstar (Father's Day Bonus)

Cuccio Colour - Manhattan Mayhem

Product Price: INR 675/- for 13 ml

Product Size in Bag: Full Size

This is a Professional range of Nail laquers that gives rich coverage in just one coat.

Fab Tip: Always use a base coat, two coats of polish and a top coat.

This colour is quite of the bridal variety, so I'm not sure I want to apply it on a regular basis. I'll save it for parties and weddings..

Ananda Light Moisturiser  for Oily Skin

Product Price:  INR 1350/- for 50 gms

Product Size in Bag: It is not mentioned on the jar, but I guess it is around 10 gms.

Every day Luxe. Show your skin some love with this rich facial cream that's infused with relaxing and aromatic herbs. It relaxes dull and stressed skin while moisturising it. Protects skin from environmental aggressors, leaving it soft, supple and rejuvinated.

Fab Tip: On thoroughly cleansed skin, dot the cream over entire face and neck. Spread it in upward motion.

The cream smells heavenly and is meant for oily skin. Really looking forward to using it!

Votre Fresh Cooling Sun Protection Mist SPF 25

Product Price: INR 400/- for 50ml

Product size in Bag: Full Size

This sunscreen facial mist is an active blend of natural botanical herbs and minerals that leave skin balanced, glowing and noticeably softer

Fab Tip: Spray the mist on face and neck. Leave it till it dries completely.

It's an interesting product a spray on sunscreen mist. Looking forward to trying it!

All Good Scents Perfume - Rockstar

Product Price: INR 990/- for 50 ml

Product size in Bag: 2ml

This goes to my husband..

Cuccio Naturale Butter Blend - Papaya & Guava

Product Price:  INR 2970/- for 240 gms

Product size in Bag: 9.24 gms

I love body butters so I'm looking forward to using it. Only, I wish the sample size was slightly bigger.

So, the total value of the June 2015 Fabbag is approximately INR/- 1498. Not a bad deal actually. 

FabBag is a monthly subscription service starting at INR 399/-. Each month's bag contains 3-5 products from national and international brands ranging from drugstore to luxury. Product sizes range from small sample sizes to full size. To join this service click HERE.
