Online Shopping Haul

Hello!
I have been shopping crazy, from cosmetics to jewellery to random things i don't even need hehe i need to be in control of these impulses..what to do, online shopping has made life so easy..its addictive!


Myntra.com
Golden Peacock Silver Earings and Ring 


I really like Myntra Packaging! They sent my jewellery in this nice plastic box, good enough for storage!

The label says 'peacock' earings, i don't see anything peacocky about it! They look like cute butterflies..nevertheless i love them.

How pretty is the wing ring! 


Medplusbeauty.com
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast (Rs.290/-) 
H2O plus Overnight Perfecting Peel 30ml (Rs.1900)



I actually wanted a similar product from Clarins but had no time to check it out in stores. I have only tried H2O Plus Body Balms, so this is the first skin care product i am going to try!
*Fingers crossed* 
 This was featured on Lisa Eldrige Make-up for acne prone skin and used as a primer,even though i do not have severe acne but lately i have been facing hormonal acne on my chin and for them occasions when i layer myself with make-up, i hope it works! It is used as a primer for acne skin, as it forms an anti-bacterial layer on the area applied.


Flipkart.com
Maybelline Volume Express Mascara
Khadi mint and cucumber Face Freshner 
Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Body Lotion (Rs855)


The Khadi Face freshner seemed like a good addition for summer..it is getting so hot these days, my face is melting.

 I already have way too many lash mascaras, infact i have bought two new ones, Bourjois clubbing volume mascara (i love it) and one from Lancome. So why did i get this? i was online..browsing stuff and saw this one..and well you know the story. The wand does seem nice with the curve..let's see how it fares :) I might compare all my mascaras..from my growing mascara factory.


I Loooove vanilla...it's my favourite scent...makes me feel warm and oh so yummy. So it was no brainer for me to get this. I find flipkart prices very competitive and they have discounts on products most of the times. This body lotion had a 5% discount on it, which makes me wonder why vellvette.com is selling the same lotions for Rs.1100 when everywhere its being sold below Rs900, even the shops which store imported stuff & sell BBW range :/

About the lotion, can't say it smells like lovely vanilla..it smells sort of fake but not to the extent of being unbearable, its something to do with BBW changing their formula since i have used warm vanilla long time back. 

And that cute BBW Warm vanilla hand sanitzer? i got it from a shop close to my house, could not resist...even though the scent was a flop for me, i can't resist hoarding vanilla stuff. hehe.



Ps: Part 2 only consist of items ordered from ASOS.com. Coming soon!

Hope You Enjoyed Reading!
Please follow for more enjoyable posts coming soon.....:D

My First Vellvette Box Jan 2013

Whats in my Vellvette Jan 2013 Box?

Hello!
this is my first post and about my first vellvette box! how awesome...right? ever since i saw pictures of these boxes online, i was dying to get my hands on them ASAP! so i got myself a 3-month subscription. After days of dreaming about it, mine finally arrived today *omgsmiley*.

This is what i got !
(no box pictures sorry. too excited to open it)


1. Nyassa Belgian Chocolate scrub (40gms)   2. OPI Nail Lacquer (3.75ml)
3. Bath & Body Works (59ml)





NYASSA BELGIAN CHOCOLATE SCRUB
           ( So i have noticed this little tin is a constant in most of the boxes for this month :D )

t smells and looks REALLY yummy. Im not a fan of scrubs...i don't generally use scrubs (shame on me) but i am willing to try it as part of my new skin care regimen! But i feel these visible sugar crystals will be to harsh on the skin, let's see.
 The product is alot less for the tin though, it just settles at the bottom of the tin.

OPI NAIL LACQUER in "Red lights ahead where..."

Mini OPI nail polish * yay * its a very flattering red colour, applies smoothly, one coat is good enough.
i have used OPI before, obviously so i was not very excited to see it in my first box or any box ever. BUT at least they got the colour right..but then again OPI does have lovely shades. Anyway...one can not have too many reds right? ;) *makes self feelbetter*

Bath & Body Works - Dark Kiss Body Lotion

This was the only product i liked and i mean REALLY liked it (notice the caps?)
It smells so good, i keep sniffing my arms for the scent. its that good. Pretty strong, floral..hard to describe the scent exactly...sensuous (?! ) its more of a night time/winter scent AND also very long lasting. It does not make my skin particularly soft..i guess my skin is the same just that it has an awesome scent to it!

Sad part?  yes there is a sad part, strangely this unsealed bottle of lotion had spilled/leaked in the box..?! Does that happen :s
I am definitely going to purchase the fullsize..! (my mom, sister loved it too, so we are abit it an emergency to buy the fullsize. lol )

So overall i am guess satisfied, only because i got the dark kiss lotion. the 3-month subscription cost me Rs 1199/- and i paid COD . i received discount coupons to use on the vellvette website to purchase the full-size products.

PS: My sister ordered one too! we also gifted one to a friend, yet to arrive though. Cant wait to see what they get, hopefully she does not get the same things as i, we (sis) live in the same house and don't want two of the same products.

UPDATE: My sister received 2 of the same products as me, the nyassa belgian scrub and opi nail paint (white) and a very tiny biotherm face cleanser. She did not like anything and refused to subscribe any further.
The friend we gifted was a bit older, she received the bath & body works body lotion in sweet pea, nyassa scrub and anna andre lip colour.

Have a great day !
