Delhi Duty Free Shopping ~ Perfume and Makeup

Oct 30, 2014


I still have to pinch myself to believe this. I cannot believe that I finally own Marc Jacobs Daisy. The perfume was in my Lust List since the first time I got to know about it. I just wanted to buy it but Marc Jacobs is not retailed in India directly. [I had purchased Marc Jacobs Lola around 2.5 years back from a import-export shop at Karol Bagh, Delhi]. 

Even this time I thought of getting the Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream (the new one) but in the end thought of buying what I really really wanted....for a long long time - Marc Jacobs Daisy ($69 for 50ml). This is also available at some online stores but I could not be sure of them.

Miley Cyrus for MAC Viva Glam 2015 // Hot Pink Lipstick



The next Viva Glam lipstick from MAC will be with Miley Cyrus. 

All of the selling price of Viva Glam lipsticks goes toward helping those who are living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. But, I do not own any because somehow I never liked the colors. 

This time I am sure that I buying this. There is a Hot pink amplified lipstick (Viva Glam Miley Cyrus) and a hot pink with sparkling pearl lipglass. I am really looking forward towards the launch of the lipstick in India.

Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Face Cleanser Review [100% Vegan]

Oct 28, 2014

Kama Ayurveda Rose Jasmine Face Cleanser Review [100% Vegan]

I cannot wait to introduce another SLS/SLES free face wash. I am using Kama Rose Jasmine Face Cleanser for around 6 weeks now and I am really pleased with the results.

Effects – The face cleanser is gentle and will suit even sensitive skin. Skin does not feel dry and stretchy like it does after using harsh cleansers. My skin feels soft after using it. At times, I just spray some rose water instead of using any cream.

Texture – This ayurvedic face wash has a runny texture. This lathers up well but the lather is very soft like Just Herbs Silkplash.

Fragrance – There is no added perfume. It contains a blend of rose and jasmine essential oil. The face wash majorly smells like roses.

Ingredients – It is 100% vegan. The only chemical used is sodium lauroyl sarcosinate but is a low hazard ingredient so, nothing to bother about. Kama products are generally organic but I do not see that mentioned in this one so, I do not think that this is organic.

Packaging – Clean pump dispenser ensures hygiene

Price - Rs 275 for 50 ml and Rs 540 for 100 ml

Shopping at Sephora Delhi ~ 2nd Time

Oct 27, 2014


I am back to Kolkata and still having the hangover of the awesome time I spent in Delhi and Chandigarh last week. The trip was under planning for long but there were last minute issues so, I was not sure if the trip would actually happen. Luckily, it happened! It was a personal trip to meet few of my old friends. 

I shopped for just two days - once in Delhi Saket where I shopped from Sephora and Forever 21 and one day at Chandigarh. I also picked few things from Delhi Duty Free (wohooo!) but will talk about all that later.

For this post, here are what I picked from Sephora.

The air has started to get dry and it is not easy to skip moisturizers these days. So, wanted to introduce a body butter as fluffy and light as whipped cream - Inveda Body Butter Cream with Rejuvenating Almond and Vanilla


Texture - Inveda Body Butter Cream is fluffy and light as whipped cream. The cream absorbs easily and does not feel oily. It feels more like a light cold cream. It is not as thick as body butter. The cream spreads easily and it is easy to apply.

I have been hunting for canvas backpack for a really long time. The ones I found were either too small or just too plain or absurdly priced. I mean, no way I will pay Rs 3000 for just a canvas bag! My search continued and finally found the Mecca of canvas backpacks.
