Lakme Fantasy Shimmer Liner Pink Crystal Review

Hello girls,

Yay, the weekend is here. am super excited, hope things do get back on track after a long time, some of you might remeber about my MIL's surgery. Had been so busy since then that I could barely devote time to my blog, even though this is my life :(. But surely thing shave started looking up, and since I did some hauling over my birthday, it's time for some interesting reviews.

Today, I am reviewing a hot pink eyeliner from Lakme Fantasy Collection, which I recently hauled from Violetbag (shown here).

My shopping experience at Goodlife

Hello People,

Guess what !!! The WEEKEND is here, so many things to do, I am already preparing a list of groceries, next will plan the menu for the weekend and I am eyeing some movies as well. Well, today I am posting another online shopping website review for GoodLife. 

My shopping experience at violetbag.com

Hey beauties,

As most of you would know by now, I have done quiet a bit of online shopping to celebrate my birthday. So, I thought of sharing my experiences on the sites with you one by one. Firstly, all of you would be knowing by now that I am a huge fan of Urbantouch, so never ordered from anywhere else, since they delivered just the very next day as they are based in the same city as mine. 

So, why did I move to other sites, there is a short story behind this. Recently, I wanted a hot pink eyeliner from Lakme Fantasy collection, which was nowhere to be found, I did a google search and only two sites, VioletBag and 365gorgeous stocked it. But, violetbag had a better discount so I decided to order from there.

I quiet liked the site interface, which is very user friendly and easy to navigate. I ordered the eyeliner, filled out a simple form with my contact details, was taken to the payment options, chose to pay by credit card and I was sorted. I was informed that a call from them would confirm the order and then they would proceed with the order dispatch. This was on Thursday, 22 March 2012 at around 5:00 pm in the evening.

Shahnaz Hussain ShaHenna Shampoo review

Hey beauties,

Hope all of you are having a blast!! Life is just so unpredictable, and that is what makes it all the more endearing and exciting. Maintaining your peace of mind is quiet a challenge under some circumstances, but it is a lot more easy if you have your priorities defined.

Okay, enough of philosophical gyan for today, and coming to the product under review. The product is Shahnaz Hussain ShaHenna Shampoo, which I purchased during a chotu haul form MedPlusbeauty recently. About the site, I would say I am impressed with the discounts they are offering, which are bigger compared to other e-shopping websites, they stock a huge number of brands, which is greater compared to its competitors, and last but not the least, they have  a quick and hassle free delivery system.

Coming to the product, since my biotique henna leaf shampoo was coming to an end (shown here), I was on the lookout for a shampoo to replace it with, nothing out of the ordinary and not because the henna leaf is not a good shampoo, it is just an old practice of mine to use a different shampoo between bottles. So, got this from Medplusbeauty, this shampoo contains extracts of henna as per the ingredient list.

Maybelline Vivid and Smooth EyeLiner Bordeaux Pearl review, swatch, EOTD

TBS Spiced Vanilla Shower Gel Review

Hey People,

How are you guys doing? It seems as if the winters are refusing to go away this year in the north of India. I am particularly enjoying this time of the year, without any dryness. All thanks to the wonderful TBS Spiced vanilla range. Today I am going to review a body wash from this range (also shown here).

Nails of the Week: Sally Hansen French Manicure (Sheerly Opal)

Once upon a time, there was a girl always dreaming about fairies, palaces, sophistication, and perfect French manicures. Try as much as she would, the last one was like a far fetched dream for her. Then one day, a fairy god mother gave her what she needed to get the perfect French manicure. It was "Sally Hansen French Manicure (Sheerly Opal)".

Fa Deo Aqua review

Hey beauties,

How is your day coming along?? Mine is actually pretty hectic, with my MIL hospitalized for vaginal prolapse, the frequent visits between home and hospital is making it a little tiring. But, another benefit is that I am getting to spend some quality time with my child, which I am thoroughly enjoying, and last but not the least, am trying to stay in touch with all you guys through blogging, it's a great stress buster.

Coming to the product which I am reviewing today, it's a current favorite of mine, the Fa Deo (Aqua). Actually I have been using Fa deos since long, but I have my wandering ways which don't allow me to stick to a brand for long. So, I drifted to other brands, this is one fragrance which I had never tried before and since my Garnier Deo was coming to an end, I ordered this online from MedPlusbeauty.

Lakme Kohl Ultimate review

Hey people,

Today I am going to review one of my favorite kajal / eye liner with you. And believe it or not it's from our own home brand LAKME.

TBS Spiced Vanilla Body Butter Review

Hey People,

Today I am reviewing one of my new found love, TBS Spiced Vanilla Body Butter. I have already reviewed the Body Scrub from the same range sometime back (see here).

Omved Tired Foot Soak

Hello everyone,

Hope all of you enjoyed a colorful and safe HOLI with your family and friends. I for one did and even my little son played with his share of non-toxic colors that his nana and nani got for him.

After so much of festivities, I was feeling too tired to do anything and my feet were aching real bad. Also, prior to the HOLI day, I suffered a muscle strain in one of my legs. So, overall the condition was really bad and Volini though effective, due to lack of rest on my part, the pain kept increasing and worsening.

So, after a little too much of pain, I suddenly remembered the last (but not the least) product from my February blisscovered box (shown here), and gave it try. The product in mention is the Omved Tired Foot Soak. I would candidly admit here that upon receiving this, I was not too sure of the uses and effectiveness of the product, but those thoughts have been turned around on their heels in no time by this wonder product.

Nails of the week: Lakme true wear Metallics 241

Hey lovelies,

It’s the middle of the week again, and HOLI is just a day away. Do share in your plans for HOLI!!! I for one plan to eat, sleep, and make merry by eating loads of gujiya and of course playing with my son.

And please welcome the official NAILS of the week.

Chambor Stay on water proof pencil in Forever Blue

Hey People,

Hope all of you are having a lovely day. Mine is something sort of tense, and not for all the right reasons. Actually there are a lot of things happening in my life right now, which are making me feel overwhelmed. First, the good news, my brother is getting married this year, so whole lot of shopping is about to happen. On a more serious note, my MIL’s is about to undergo a surgery this very month, so matters are a bit tense in the home. Hopefully she will make it all right. Some more agendas, the annual appraisals, upcoming festivals, and my birthday are trying to make this into a whole lot happening month.

Enough of bantering about the various situations in my life. And coming to some good product which I been using since recently. I have an eyeshadow trio (shown here), a French manicure set (shown here), and a lipstick (shown here) from Chambor and have mixed feeling about the brand. So, when I received this eye pencil in my February blisscovered box (shown here), I was not sure of my liking towars this.

Hey People,

Do you also love the fragrance of freshly baked cookies and cakes?? If the answer is yes then you must treat your senses to atleast one product from the TBS Spiced Vanilla range.
