THE BODY SHOP CHRISTMAS LIMITED EDITION

Pin It
 I had gone out yesterday to pamper myself to a facial and I have to say the Lakme "nirvana" facial is pretty good. It got rid of all my tan and now I have a real nice glow to my face. But the person who did my facial(the facial included massage on hands & legs) commented that my legs are all scaly and told me to take proper care of it.Eeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkssss.Winter always gets the better of my legs and whatever I do it will end up being scaly, I was trying to keep it moisturised with my jergens lotion and I ran out of it......so, I thought of  getting a new one.The body shop was just nearby and I thought I will check out their new christmas edition and when I went there, it was so nice to see all the sets in small hampers and they all look so cute and christmassy!!I checked the scrub....it kinda has the same consistency as their other scrubs, so, I let it pass and the lotions seemed too light for me, as my legs are extra scaly and needs loads of moisture.In the end I ended up buying only the shower gel and the cranberry one has somewhat the same smell as strawberry shower gel, but a little more stronger and zestier. So, if you guys are interested, do check out the new range at the body shop.They have cranberry,orange and spiced vanilla as limited editions.

The shower gel costs 475 rs but I got it for 130rs as I had some vouchers with me.So, all in all, not a bad deal :)

MAC VENAMOUS VILLAINS HAUL & SWATCHES

Pin It
 So, it finally got launched in India day before yesterday and thanks a bunch to Rashmi from Indyabeauty who was nice enough to tell me that it got launched..........and honestly otherwise I would have never known!.So, I grabbed hold of my hubby(who was least interested) and visited the MAC store yest and I have to say that within a day 1 lipgloss & 2 lipsticks were sold out. I was a bit bummed, b'coz I came all the way just to get my hand on the lip stuff. I have to be honest here, eventhough its a limited edition, I don't see a great variety of shades in this one and am kinda disappointed(not to deflate ur enthusiasm .......just my opinion).But, its ALL about the PACKAGING,so, I got myself two lipglosses and one dazzleglass from the "permanent line" and I have to say am pretty much impressed with the dazzleglass than the ltd edition ones. I would definitely reccomend ppl to go out and get this particular dazzleglass "get rich quick"(no hurry, its in the permanent line).Its a beautiful brown shade with hint of pink and shimmers.......I absolutely love it!!!Less talking and more pics........

CONTACT LENSES FROM DBEAUTY SHOP

Pin It
 I have always wanted green colored contacts and somehow I never managed to find a pair that would suit someone my skintone ie dusky. I would always find beautiful green in my local contact lens stores but obviously they were meant to suit lighter skin tones. So, my hunt for the perfect green pair of contact lenses continued, till I stumbled upon this site called www.dbeautyshop.com.This website is based in malaysia and they sell authentic contact lenses of various different brands and there are zillions to choose from. I got myself the Geo tri color green and I am sooooooooooooooooooo happy with my purchase.

 About the site:-

Its based in malaysia and the navigation through the site is very easy

They have lots of different brands in stock, so, you will find the color you are looking for

They also stock lenses with "power", so it was great for me as I am blind as a bat without my lenses or glasses and most of the sites don't stock up with the powered lenses. I just had to choose the individual powered contacts meant for my eyes and put them in my cart

My overall purchase came to about US Dollars 27.They have a flat rate registered shipping fee of 5 dollars to anywhere in the world.

The contacts as such cost me 20 dollars and I also bought a green colored contact lens case which came to about 2 dollars

But they do provide us with a free snoopy contact lens case(incase you dont want to purchase an individual case)

The shipping was done on the same day as that of my purchase and I received it within a week and it was in great condition, plus they send emails promptly telling you about the details of your purchase.

About the contact lens:-

They were packed nicely and they came in sealed glass vials (so, no worries about lenses getting tampered with)

There were pamphlets along with it, telling me how to use and store my lenses and also instructions as to how to open the vials.

The brand Geo lenses that I bought has an Anti-Fake system on their website which allows you to scratch out the silver film on the bottom of the glass vial on each one, thereby giving a secret code which can be enetred to find out whether you got a genuine item or not!(I think thats summin great, coz one has to be safe, its ur eyes after all!! )

The lenses by itself are really soft and its not like the one that I already have with me, which is a bit hard, so I feel a bit of discomfort after a while, but not with these babies.................they are simply awesome. I wanted to give a proper review, so I have been using this for 2 weeks straight and I am very happy.


They also don't tire my eyes out, as they are super soft(other lens wearers will know what I am talkin about)

By the way this particular green color will be suitable for skintones from nc40-45

So all in all am very happy with my purchase and will definitely do business with the site again, when I feel like getting another colored contacts.





 Do you see the secret code, after scratching off the silver film,, its for the anti-fake security!

 This lens case came free with the purchase

 This one I bought for 2$ and they are so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LIZ EARLE BRIGHTENING TREATMENT MASK

Pin It
I am a huge fan of Liz Earle products, their cleanser being on my top most list.My second favourite product would be the one that am about to review today.Its the "Liz Earle Brightening Treatment Mask"

Its being sold as a reviving, fast acting mask for instant radiance.Whenever you feel that your skin looks dull & tired this mask comes to the rescue by revitalising the skin in a few minutes.







Directions for use:-Apply 1 to 2 pumps to clean, dry skin.Leave between 30 seconds and 2 minutes.Soak the pure muslin cloth in hand-hot water and gently wipe away residue and follow with Liz Earle instant boost skin tonic(that part is not necessary, but I have the skin tonic so I follow the instructions )

 My take on the product:-

Pros:-
It contains "MOSTLY" natural ingredients
Its a product that is to be used once or twice a week, so the 50 ml bottle will last for a long  time
It has a strong herbal smell to it (I love it, mostly smells of camphor,but some people might find it very annoying)
Comes with a pump, so, one can dispense out the right amount & its hygienic
The product itself is very creamy and a little goes a long way
A muslin cloth is provided along with this which helps to exfoliate the skin while you are taking out the mask
The product delivers, leaves me with smooth, soft, glowy skin
My pores become less visible
Oil production is reduced
There is a tightening and lifting effect
My makeup goes on extra smooth
My skin looks soooooo healthy and plump that I often get compliments whenever I use this product(my skin looks good even without makeup on that particular day!! yipppeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)
Cost is 900 rs for a 50 ml bottle, which is reasonable for the amount of product you get

Cons:-
NOT SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE SKIN!!!!!!!!. Its given on the bottle itself, as you might experience a slight tingling effect which leaves even my tough non sensitive skin pretty red after taking the mask off, but the redness lasts for only a few minutes and the skin becomes radiant after that.

This is a temporary effect which goes off after a day or so.

Can only be bought online through Liz Earle website

Overall I would definitely repurchase as this is a miracle worker on my skin especially before parties or some functions.So I give this a huge thumbs up from my side.

What about you guys, which Liz Earle product do you swear by..........

KORRES WILDROSE LIP BUTTER

Pin It
 Lipbalms with a tint are great for those days when you don't want to wear a gloss or lipstick but wants a sheer color loaded with moisture on the lips. Thats what I want from a lipbalm and thats how I ended up buying this korres product.

What it claims:-
A buttery lip balm that melts on the lips and offers a shiny,tinted finish.The combination of shea butter and rice wax offers deep hydration and softness. Ideal for chapped lips.








Pros:-
Is moisturising when it goes on to the lips.
Gives a real good tint.
No artificial ingredients.
Has a pleasant smell.
No weird taste.
The tint lasts for quite sometime.
Easy to carry around.
The small pot lasts for quite a long time.

Cons:-
The lip balm tends to dry out the lips a tad too much, so, the big claims fall through.
The tint tends to settle in on the lines on the lips in a not so pretty way.
Not at all ideal for chapped lips.
Only available at selected areas.
Price, 600 rs

I will not repurchase this, even though I like the sheer tint that it gives........as its too drying on my lips. Anyone of you guys use this lipbalm........like it or hate it......
