March Shopping - Hair Styling Products and Makeup from Faces,Maybelline, Ambika Pillai

By
I did a couple of makeup shopping in March, primarily to prepare for my big day. However, I hardly used much of this shopping for my get up. But, I still felt like sharing it all with you here.

Products I bought this month:

1) Philips hair straightner
2) Giovanni hair styling lotion
3) Eva lip balm in strawberry
4) Maybelline Dream Mousse blush in soft plum
5) Maybelline Eyestudio pencil in White
6) Maybelline Primer with SPF 35+
7) Ambika Pillai Black Eye Liner
8) Ambika Pillai Lite Lipgloss in Cotton Candy.

I didn't want to buy anything from Maybelline, because they test on animals. However, with the limited choices we have in market on the price and quality, I had to buy certain essentials from them. I so wish ELF and NYX brands to be more prominent in Indian market now.
I also ordered some FACES cosmetics from Fashion and You website. However, they messed up my order and instead of sending Mauve Blush, sent me a eyeshadow. I was quite pissed off with the goof up because even on the package the product details were written right, but still they sent wrong product to me. I was pretty ok with their customer care as they picked up the call immediately, and offered me to either choose return and refund option or just return the product and get the amount credit in my F&U account. They said they'd send the person to me, so I didn't have to do anything on my own.
I was fuming, but the person was so gentle and listened well and apologized for the mistake that it pacified me a bit. I decided to keep the product, because anyway my mauve blush wouldn't have come to me. I might see what I can do with the eyeshadow. So, here are the pics of what I got:

From Left to right - Faces Smokey Eye Kit, Ambika Pillai Lipgloss and Ambika Pillai black eye liner(Top), Faces eyeshadow called eyeshine, Maybelline primer, Maybelline eye studio pencil in white, Maybelline dream mousse blush, Maybelline coloroma nailpaint

From top to bottom - Faces black Mascara, Metallic Eyeshadow primer (I mistook it as lipgloss first!! :P) , Black and Brown Eye pencils, two fluffy eyeshadow brushes

A random buy from a stall in Forum mall, Koramangala
So, that is it. I am quite excited about the Faces eyeshadow kit, and would definitely use it to post some makeup looks soon!! :) :)

    I have the same hair straightener. The only problem I have with it is that it doesnt come with a temperature control system. Heats up too much at times :(

Syoss Professional Performance Repair Therapy Shampoo - Review

By
Syoss Professional Performance Repair Therapy Shampoo During my visits to Germany, I spend a lot of time watching TV commercials, because of the only reason that I can somehow understand bits and pieces of them. I wasn't intending to buy any huge bottles, during my last trip, but I was so much intrigued by Syoss's continuous ads on the television, that I decided to give it a shot. I bought Syoss professional repair therapy shampoo from Muller mall, Germany. It has been 3 months now, since I've been using this shampoo and hence thought of reviewing it here. Check the ad below: What does the brand say about this product? He he..Let me translate that for you: Syoss - professional hair care products: Powerful varieties of high-quality care ingredients for perfectly groomed hair - every day, like right in accordance with the cultivated salon hairdresser.

Olay Natural White Lotion With Mulberry Leaf Extracts - Review

By
Olay Natural White Lotion With Mulberry Leaf Extracts  The best way to spend four hours of waiting period in Dubai transit is to do shopping. In all the shopping I did there, I bought this particular lotion as well. The main reasons behind buying this lotion were: 1) I wanted to try Olay as a brand as I’d heard a lot of good stories about it. 2) I wanted a light moisturizing face lotion that has SPF, UVA/UVB protection and could be worn easily below my foundation for day wear. Olay Natural White Lotion With Mulberry Leaf Extracts Price: $10 Quantity: 30 ml What does Olay say about its Natural White lotion ?

Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review, Swatches

By
Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss - Review I began to use Neutrogena brand long back, when I was in US. The first product I bought of this brand was a liquid foundation, which was my first foundation of all. And, as expected I chose the wrong shade and had to throw it away. The second thing I bought sometime back was this Neutrogena Moistureshine LipGloss , which apparently happens to be my first tinted lipgloss too, as before this I was used to only lipsticks or lip balms.It took me a while to get used to the concept of glosses. I bought the shade 04 Glimmer: Neutrogena Moistureshine Gloss Like usual glosses, it comes
