Hey there! Bringing you another sample today and this one is a mask sheet. These have become quite popular these days and even spas use them in their facials. A convenient way to apply a mask as there is no mixing or applying required. Just pop the pack and spread the sheet on...easy peasy. I got this as a sample when I ordered from Cosmetic Love. This is from a Korean company called 3W Clinic. I have not heard of it before.
Continuing on the Archie's Girls haul today I present to you some of the lipglosses I picked up from the line. I bought 3 out of the 6 that are there - Strawberry Malt, Mall Madness and Kiss & Dont Tell. There are 3 in the Betty line and 3 in Veronica one. I felt that the Betty ones were quite pale when I saw the swatches online and only one appealed to me. I liked the colors in the Veronica one better so ended up picking 2 from there. The last one seemed too dark for my taste. Paid 15 pounds each (approx Rs. 1237/-) for 4.8 gms of product.
Hello ladies! Welcome to the first post of the new feature - Sample Corner. Today I will present to you the sample for Alqvimia Eternal Youth Maximum Recovery Face Cream. As you know, I came across this brand (check out detailed post on it HERE) in the beauty exhibition I visited (check the detailed coverage HERE) and the lady present there gave me this sample to try out from their line. The quantity is quite less ie it is only 3ml and it lasted me for 5 applications on my face only. Lets break down some basics first.

Hello my beauties! My sis flew into town last night for a visit after an entire year. None other than the creative & goofy half of this blog aka Dimpy!! She lives in UK and was finally able to find sometime to come and pay us a visit. And look what she got me :D My precious much awaited haul!! Some pieces from the MAC Archie's Girls collection and brushes from Real Techniques.
Hello my lovelies....back with another nail paint from Inglot. This was part of my haul last year. I have been keeping my nails short this past year and recently went back to growing them again. That is the reason for all these posts getting their due attention. I took the pics and everything when I bought these but lack of swatches prevented me from reviewing them for you.

I came across this interesting product line in the exhibition. The European gentleman present in the counter was very sweet and informative. I did not know at the time that he was the CEO and founder of the company, Mr Christophe Fouilleron. He and three of his friends got together to bring in the natural benefits offered by their homeland, Corsica, to the world. Realizing that they were sitting on untapped potential offered by the rich natural resources they got together to form this line of bio cosmetics.
I was waiting for my friend outside the MAC store in Phoenix Mills, Lower Parel, Mumbai and spotted the Estee Lauder store just next to it. They had launched some new collection then and I went in to check it out. After going through the range I picked up this blush and a lipstick from their signature collection. I kept myself far far away from their eyeshadows coz I have loads of them already and they are my weakness....
Picture this - you are about to step in for your bath as you are on your way to college/office/time out. You check yourself in the mirror to see if you need a hair wash. Hmmm my hair does not look oily heck I just washed it yesterday.... I'm sure I can stretch it to another day. Besides I'm running late and there are a zillion things I need to do before I step out. You take your quick shower and get on with the rest of the business Then you start to comb your hair......what is this.....it was not like this.....my scalp.....ITS OILY!!! ARGHHHHH!!! I don't have time to wash it now and I have put on my face......*DISASTER*
Hey there my divas! Today I'm back with another lippy from the house of Makeup Geek. I have reviewed some of their products before and I must say they are quite impressive. This was part of my haul from them and unfortunately it was broken from inside ie the lippy was separate from its base. But no matter I'm not iffy about it as the product is still usable.

Welcome to a new feature on the blog - the Sample Corner. Now as a beauty blogger I have to always be on a look out to try and talk about new products in the market. The companies just keep flooding the market with their stuff ever so often and with the way prices are soaring these days running a blog has become a very expensive deal. Especially when you don't earn anything out of it :P I keep my regular job just so I can add fuel to this obsession of mine. I'm sure a lot of you must be nodding your heads on that.
It has been over a year since I bought this one. Just been lying around on my vanity table. While digging through my posts which have been saved as drafts (I have many of those unfortunately) I chanced upon this and had to dig through all the stuff on the table to be able to find it. Today it finally gets it day under the sun.
Hey there bellas! Today I will present to you what was given to us as a gift in our goody bags when we attended the Purplle and Soulflower bloggers event (if you missed that post you can check it HERE). We got 2 variations - Feel Sexy and Energy Boost. I believe this is a recent launch from them. There are 11 variants targeting different areas and concerns. The basic idea behind this is to act as your personal problem solver. These are not your regular fragrance roll ons but rather have very specific actions.
Another find from the trip to the Faces store. Like the Dry body Oil reviewed before (which you can read about HERE) this too has been made by Upper Canada Soap and is marketed in India by Faces. I picked this up as it mentions that it helps to relieve tired feet and lets face it after a long days work our poor tortured feet could always use some TLC. Sometimes they make you wish that you had your own personal masseuse on your beck and call to give them the relaxing massage that they end up screaming for. Wont it be nifty if something like a spray could do that for you?
Hello all!! Today I bring probably one of the most talked about, lusted, raved, etc etc. product of recent times - Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stains. I have 5 of them so I decided to do a joint review for them all coz lets face it only the colors are different the remaining goodness is all the same. Honestly I had thought I would pick maybe 2-3 from them but in the end I picked up 6 (one my Di wanted which was the shade Adore).
This Spanish brand has apparently been around for quite sometime (started in 1984). I first came to know about them when I stumbled onto their counter in the exhibition. There was a very sweet Spanish lady at the counter who quickly started to explain me the benefits of their body sculpting oil (lol for obvious reasons) saying how I could loose 3-4 inches off my tummy :) I think I need to drown myself in a vat of their oil to reach anywhere close to where I need to be :D (swimming in the oil, Im swimming in the oil la la la)......
Hello my friends! How is the summer treating ya? Dang it hot in Kolkata....making me miss the Mumbai weather I left behind, humidity and all. Today I present my first Dior lipstick. Back in '11 when I did the tut on wearing a red lip (which you can check out HERE) a reader left this product name as a suggestion. I finally picked it up as I wanted to see how it works out for me.

Maybelline Hyper Glossy Runway Pop Liquid Liner Tangerine Orange - Swatch and Review
4/05/2013
Sometime back Maybelline created quite a buzz when it launched the Hyper Glossy liner in black. The stuff was sold out on shelves and even online shops were out of stock. I guess I was not the only one who wished that a liner retained the glossy wet look that was just so intense and pretty. They really hit the mark with that one and now they are taking it up a notch. New colors have been introduced to add that "Pop" to your summer look.

I spoke about my experience at the Beauty Vision India exhibition held recently in Mumbai in a previous post (you can check that HERE). Today I'm going to talk about one of the brands that I discovered there - Bielenda. A company from Poland these people already have an Indian presence and had some really awesome looking stuff laid out in their counter.
I don't know why but I usually don't look at Faces products. Something just stops me from even looking at them. Cant explain why. So when I passed a Faces store in Infinity Mall, Malad I just kept on walking. But this time around something stopped me and made me go in to at least take a look-see and spot anything that I could not find in the Kolkata branch of it. Now in comparison this outlet is much bigger than the one I saw back home and in all honestly that can best be described as a mini kiosk.

Like I said before, Mumbai trip was a great getaway for me which saw a lot bunch of things happening especially for the blog. While I was chilling with my friends and en route to my friend's home on one of the outings I saw this huge billboard for this exhibition. I was so excited that it was just around the corner so I delayed my trip by a week and decided to stay back on especially to attend this exhibition.

Hello my lovely people!! Feels so good writing in after such a long break. I spent around 15 days in Mumbai and had a wonderful and much deserved break. I got a chance to attend my first ever bloggers meet organized by Purplle.com and Soulflower and it was an awesome experience. I always bemoaned the fact that nothing goes down in Kolkata and I'm unable to participate in such events. But as luck would have it I got this opportunity and it feel right into my already set travel plans to Mumbai. Yea for that :D
