(Click to enlarge pictures)

H&M Hand kit:

Price: Sr29 (Rs 423 approx)

This is a super cute hand kit in pink and gold,  i just bought it because it looks so so cute!

It contains a buffer (which says 'when im with you' *aw*)nail cutter, some nail stick and hand cream!

H&M Velvet Amber Body Lotion:

This Body Lotion looked super cute...perfect to add in my massive pink collection . The scent is a bit plasticky  though :( . i should have known a clothing brand like H&M would not make quality skin care but oh well they always have some cute things out to tempt us.

H&M Lip Balm Wild Vanilla :

Price: Sr16

I had to really control myself at h&m...everything looked so cute! this looks like a jumbo lip balm like fevistick jumbo size glue, really. i wanted to pick up everything...even them hello kitty socks but obviously in bombay where i will wear socks and go so yea :/ . My favourite scent in this entire world would be vanilla..so i picked this up...and this too smells plasticky  like the lotion. Bummer.

H&M Pen perfume Hibiscus flower:

 Price: Sr 6

This was one of the things HOW could i  not pick up! its adorable! Just to chuck it in my bag and its plastic so i dont have to worry about it cracking or something. oh and this one was on sale, wished i picked up a few more of these!

H&M Ankle Bracelet:

This again was on sale...very bling and looks lovely when i wear it...:)

H&M Hair mini clips:

My friend used these regularly and had picked them up from london and since then i had them in mind, they are perfect for the princess style hair clipping on the side.

H&M Chandelier Earings:

I absolutely adore these! and i love huge earings...look at the detailing, looks really posh i suppose. 

H&M Feather Earings:

I have a couple of feather earings, i find them cute...and these are long and look really pretty!

H&M Metal Chain Earing:

My fav! Looks really edgy...simply love them! Cant wait to wear them tonight :D

I got a couple of more jewellery...but gave them to my friends as presents..and i got a gorgeous peplum dress too! Im going to post part 2 later...which mostly consist of random stuff i picked up on this trip :D 

Have a great day xx

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 !
