I Found You BB and How to Get the One for You + Good News from Maybelline

Jan 31, 2012

Right from Day 1 people got to know about BB creams, they badly wanted  one for themselves. As we Indian get access to stuffs when everyone has used, reused or refused to use the stuff, we just entered into a long waiting phase. We had TBS one but then not all prefer to try out stuffs which pinches your pocket. So when Maybelline announced the launch of BB Clear Glow in India everyone just ran to stores to pick it up as it was a must have style/gossip magazine! And believe me it was!

Experience with MedPLusBeauty - Best place for Body Shop Products on Huge Off + NYX Offers

Jan 30, 2012

Today I will tell you about my experience with MedPlusBeauty.Com.


I recently spotted those sales in Body Shop and everything was so blah! I was not at all impressed. Maybe there is another reason why nothing allured me. You see my Love Your Body card got expired October and getting a new card is what I do not want to. ‘Investing’ INR500 for a card that last only 1 Year is so not worth it. Even credit cards don’t ask for these ridicules charges. Look how many stamps I collected. I totally deserve a new free card!


Anyways as I am totally addicted to SLS free stuffs and TBS rainforest shampoo is the only decent one out there is the market I always had to though away my ego and visit their shop but luckily I found ...drum rolls......MedPlusBeauty.com

Stumbled Upon A Few Of My Favorite Things

Jan 28, 2012

A few of my favorite things is a shop that I stumbled upon in DLF Saket Mall. I was there in hunt of something and then I found this store. They have mainly costume jewelry, bags and home decoration stuffs.


Here is what I got from there - A mannequin jewelry holder. I always wanted one. I saw them in a store in South City Mall, Kolkata but INR1500 was not something I wanted to spend on this. I saw this on the counter - How much for this? "699" "Ohh" "50% Off" "Ohh! Will take this!"

Gone Oranges Over You - Nail Art with Fimo Clay, How To + Slicing

Jan 27, 2012

I finally decided to give it a try to the fimo clays that I got as FREE gift from one of the Ebay Seller I talked about here. 


Something about myself here - I grew up in Arunacal near a place that had the best produce of Oranges. Plumpy, juicy, 100% natural and always sweet as honey. So have always loved oranges as I got to eat the best ones out there. But when I left  Arunacal, i also stopped eating oranges as i was never happy with the quality. Anyways, I recenlty started to eat them again as I am not sure when I will be able to get those Arunacal again. So, wanted to do this the day I got the canes but then as I am a super lazy person, I am doing this when the season of Oranges is almost over!

Coming back to the topic...

What are fimo clay? 
Fimo is a brand name of polymer clay used mainly because of it’s firmness, baked strength, and ability to hold a shape without distortion.

Bourjois Delice de Poudre Highlighting Powder 53 Swatch + Review + Where to Buy

Jan 18, 2012

Have you ever liked something on the makeup counter but never got it because you were not sure about it? Well it never happens with me generally as I am compulsive shopper but this product got into the list. A makeup product that is like a book with 4 white chocolate bricks is hard to resist but the only thing that made my rethink before buying this was – is it really good to buy something for 665INR that I do not even know how to use? But when I saw this for 100 INR off, I flushed the question and I am so glad that I did.




What’s written on the box –

Give into your craving and enhance your beauty!
All the intensity of light captured in a fine pearly powder for an instant burst of radiance. Its delicious perfume and ultra soft texture will have you melting with pleasure. Apply with the brush over your delletage and add highlights to your face (forehead, cheekbones, chin) for a sheer luminous result

This Sunday when I was  out  for shopping, I had one simple thing in mind that I just won’t buy anything for myself simply to save time and also the money that I need to upcoming sales….they(sales) are everywhere now but I am secretly waiting for one special one *wink*

That Wonderful Feeling

Last week I got a call from one my old PG room mate. 

"Are you free now?"  "Yes"
 "Didi, yeh batao ki woh kya lagate hae jisse face glow karta hae 
(What is the stuff that brightens your face?)" 
 Me (Confused and trying to absorb what I just heard) - "Glow?"

And then the story got disclosed that she had to attend one her cousion's wedding and have to build a whole kit. 

Now something about that sweetheart - She lives in Gurgaon and hardly use any cosmetics. Maybe a Kajal at times. 21 years old but still a kid. I used to nag with her to make her wear lipsticks. So you know the time taking interesting job that I had to do for her - Shopping! 

There was a tiny problem -

NYX Girls Enchanted Forest and Colorbar Exclusive 15

Jan 3, 2012

These were on my nails from the day I got my Stylecraze package. I reapplied then again on 30th to share these with you but was having some major internet issue.


Anways, here are my two favorite brands in one post. I love colorbar always because they bring up the most IN color in fashion in Indian market. If  international online shopping scares you and you still want to get the most fashionable color and search for a colorbar store. I repeat again - STORE not the counters. You are one lucky girl if you found everything in their counters.
