FAB BAG January'2017

All my fellow subscribers will know the excitement one feels when you receive the Fab Bag in your mail, I'm sure. Very happy that the first bag for this year reached me in the first week itself.

It took me roughly a min and half to cut open the box and there inside lied this ruby colored clutch style bag. So this time the bag is different. Honestly, I like the colour but the material is quite flimsy. And since it is a clutch style, not much stuff can be stored in it. I like their pouch styles with chain. I use them to store stuff and they even look pretty on my vanity. But this one...nahh. This bag will probably go to my 3 yr old niece.

Without any more blabber, let's dig in...

1) O3+ Derma Fresh Mask- Very excited about this product. I don't own any of their products personally but I got O3+ facials done a couple of times and loved it. Plus it's a decent size to test out the product. Looking forward to this one.

 

2) M[Caffeine] Neem Caffeine Face wash - Again a decent sized sample. Quite happy about that. The ingredients seem sans harmful chemicals. Let's hope this works.

3) Nature's Co White tea Night Cream - Honestly, I am very skeptical about this one. 'Coz all previous Nature's Co products that I have tried failed...miserably! I usually steer clear of this brand. But I have heard few bloggers raving about this one so let's hope this is 'the' product to change my mind about this brand.

 

\

4) Wella EIMI LightWeight BB lotion - What? BB lotion for hair? or is it? Not mentioned on the packaging. huh. I shall assume since it's Wella, it's gotta be fot hair. I'll probably just get 2 usage out of it.

 

 

5) Sugar Cosmetics Matte As Hell Lip Crayon in Rose Dawson - This is the product I selected. There were Manna Lip crayons too which cost a bomb (almost 1800/-)!! But I wanted this shade and I played safe knowing what I was gonna get. I love these crayons. These can give most of the high end brands a run for their money.

 

So that's all. I quite liked the products. Even the sample sizes are enough to actually test the products.

FABBAG December 2016 - "THE PARTYHOLIC"

Better late than never no? I received this month's Fabbag a few days back. Been meaning to upload it asap but anyways... Been quite a hectic week!

So I quite liked the holographic checks this month. And thank god I received the black one. I didn't like the other colors (based on the few pictures I came across). Yeah for the first bit! So let's dig in...!

The theme- "The Partyholic" is fitting for the last month of the year. And I'm quite happy with the bag this month. Fabbag has included 2 full size products and 2 "very appropriate"deluxe sized samples. 

 

IBA HALAL FOOT MASSAGE CREAM is a well timed product and I welcome it with open arms! I have extremely dry foot and this could be a savior. It has very attractive ingredients like Olive oil, Cocoa butter, Shea Butter, Jasmine. This is a full size product. This will be my first product from this brand and I know I'll use it up within 2 weeks.

NATURAL HAIR MIST seems like an interesting product. A kind I've never used before. Hair mists could be very useful for summers. I haven't opened this one yet and hence don't know how it smells. Although I could not find any ingredients list on this one. I  feel ok about this one. After all, that's the whole concept about subscription boxes is get to try new products.

 

 This is the product I'm most excited about! I love the brand PALMER'S COCOA BUTTER FORMULA. I already use its other products and love them. In a roller form is even better! This one's getting a permanent space in my handbag! Since it's an oil, even 15 ml will last me a long looong time. 

 CITY COLOR BE MATTE LIPSTICK IN PHOEBE was my choice of product this month. I had chosen Briana from the same line last month. But since it was the first time I was quite skeptical about the product. On receiving it, I loved it! So had to order another on from there. The above swatch is just 1 swipe. Super pigmentation, great staying power. Transfers when touched but stays on me for almost 5-6 hours.

Overall, I'm quite happy with this month's fabbag!

NOVEMBER FAB BAG - Power Up

Hey there guys…..

Chuck the intros. Simply putting it.. loved the bag. LOVED it! This month’s bag has a product for makeup, skincare, haircare and fragrance. I mean WHAT! There isn’t one product I’d rather not have. Loved them all!

So getting on with it...

The Gold festive November FAB BAG

FAB BAG November Products

1)        City Color Cheek Stain in Mauve

OK… So the colour isn’t Mauve. Nope it’s a true coral shade with beautiful shimmers in it. Can be used as a blush cum highlighter. Perfect for those who’re into fuss free makeup. The texture is just Oh-So-Creamy. Blends in bea-uu-tifully. Is sheer and has a Satin finish. Can be built up which I love.  Although this fades pretty soon, it leaves a nice glow on the cheek. Perfect for amateurs in makeup like me! You can’t go overboard with this.

I love that it has a small cap under the main one. However the twist mechanism is a bit flimsy. But I’m gonna let that go. J

City Color Cheek Stain in Mauve- Swatch


HOT/NOT:  Thumbs up! Newbies to makeup…go get one.

2)       KAMA Ayurveda Intensive Hair Treatment Bringadi Oil

Another Indian Au Natural Brand which is already a major favorite amongst many. I, however, have never used a product from this line before. But I’ve heard and read some real good reviews about this oil in particular. Apparently one of the best selling product of KAMA Ayurveda.  

This was separately wrapped to avoid leakage. (Attention to details guys. Good work Fab Bag! )

Haven’t tried this out yet. 2 usage out of this 10ml sample bottle I’d say. *Keeping my fingers crossed. Please work on my hairfall issues*

3)       Votre Biocosmetics  Mangifera Hand and Foot Gel Crème

Claims to have an SPF-35 on the Fab Post (magazine), while the actual product says SPF-15. Anyhooo wearing a product with SPF is always better, in my opinion. Especially for those on the move.  It does have a gel like texture and I find the scent quite light and refreshing.  It blends real quick and gets absorbed in a sec!  It’s not oily or greasy at all. Very light, just like a Gel Texture’s supposed to be.

Since my skin gets super dry in winters, this shall not do at all. BUT I think I’m gonna love this during the warm weathers. The packaging is NOT travel friendly or completely leak proof. I always prefer my travel creams in a tube. But nonetheless I shall keep this in my storage bag. (Yes, I have one. I might just write a post about it.)

HOT/NOT: I think I’ll like this one in warm weather. Love the scent.

4)       WELLA Proffessionals ENRICH

It says, a Moisturizing Treatment for dry and damaged hair. I love Wella. I’ve been  using Wella treatments for my hair spas, for over 6 mnths now… and loving it. So this goes in my travel kit. I think it’ll give me 2 … no 3 (if I use It miserly) usage. *I’d say 2 and a half really*

5)       Gulnar Mint Lemongrass

I love mint. I love lemongrass. I adore handmade soaps. Period.

6)       All Good Scents Love & Joy

Such a cute 1 ml sample.  A li’l detail on the fragrance first:

Top note: Freesia, Peony, Litchi

Heart Notes: Rose, Lily Of The Valley, Magnolia

Base Notes: White Musk, Amber, Powdery Notes

This  is a straight up sweet smelling scent. I usually don’t like sweet scents. So the first 10 seconds of this was like, “It smells Ok. Not too bad. Nothing to get too excited about. But after it soaks in a bit, it transforms into this floral yet musky scent which I loved! A perfect day scent. Just when I thought it “could” replace my current fave (My jeans- Mango. Review HERE) , after 10 mins or so,  it settled into something so sweet that my teeth hurt.  *if you know what I mean *

  You’ll like this scent if you like real sweet scents. *I have it on my wrist now. Been an hour . It has a very light Ittar kinda scent , aftetr it settles down*

PS:  Every scent is different and unique on every skin. So ALWAYS try a perfume on yourself before buying. 

All Good Scents Love & Joy

HOT/NOT: NOT for me.

So that's all the products this month. Totally worth the money.

*So what'd u receive in your FAB Bag? Which amongst the above products do you like the best?  * 

October’2014 Fab Bag

ss

Hey you!

My Fab Bag for October reached me on 22^nd of this month. Glad, since this arrived much earlier than I expected. This Diwali Edition Fab Bag is out in 2 colours- Blue and Silver. I think both look equally glam. If I were to decide, I don’t think I could’ve picked one. Oh well, that’s the precise concept about the surprise Fab Bag right?!?

October Fab bag 2014

 I’m loving the Silver Bag on my vanity shelf. Surely brings out the Diwali feel. I think I’m gonna keep it there till New years, ‘coz I love some shimmer around me during winter!!

Coming to the contents…

Clockwise- Nature's Co Hair Mask; Just Herbs 6 step Skin Regime; SeaSoul CC Cream

   1)  SeaSoul Dead sea Minerals & Botanicals SSpro Range HD Finish CC Cream

Quite a mouthful… I got the shade LIGHT with SPF 20. This claims everything that every CC cream in the market claims to do.

Improve Discoloration, Correct Blemishes, Minimize Oil Production, Provide Sheer Coverage, Lighten & Brighten, Hydrate &Moisturize. Paraben Free, Cruelty Free, Eco-Friendly.

However it says ‘Complete Coverage’ but also mentions ‘Provides Sheer Coverage’ on the packaging itself. Confusing or Misleading don’t you think?? Or am I missing something here? I'm curious about the HD Finish claim though.

Needless to say, I’m super excited to try this and see how this fares. Another CC cream ain’t hurting anyone ;)

PS: I’ve used this twice till now and my skin hasn’t broken out (I have super sensitive skin) and the shade LIGHT suits my skin tone….well almost. It settles in a while. The coverage is sheer.

      2) Nature’s Co. Rosemary Hibiscus Hair Mask

Not too sure about this product. None of the Nature’s Co product has ever fared well on me. Plus I’ve been suffering from a lot of hair fall recently. So kinda dicey about this one. But I shall try it nonetheless.

     3) Just Herbs – 6 Step Skin Care Regime

This came with 6 products in a paper box! It’s a skin care routine with neatly mentioned steps-

-         Step 1 (Daily): SilkSplashNeem-Bitter OrangeRehydrant Face Wash (All skin types) [35 g]

-         Step 2 (Twice a week): Apricot Sparkle Invigorating  Skin Radiance Scrub (Normal to dry Skin) [35 g]

-         Step 3 (Daily): Nourishing Massage Cream (Normal to Dry skin) [15 g]

-         Step 4 (Twice a week): Fairever Protein Fairness Pack Mulethi, Milk and Honey (All Skin types) [20 g]

-         Step 5 (Daily): Sun’nil Jojoba-Grapeseed  Sun Protection Lotion (Normal to Dry Skin) [35 g]

-         Step 6 (Every Night): Af’fair Fumittory-Liquorice Skin Lightening cream (Normal to Dry Skin) [15 g]

It’s great to support Indian brands especially Herbal, with No Parabens, No Mineral Oil. Ofcourse excited to try this.

Just Herbs 6 Step Skin Regime

All in all,  an amazing bag this month! Looking forward to using the 2 products or should I say 7!! (Just Herbs and SeaSoul CC cream).

Crossing my fingers about the Hair Mask. Well, you never know, this just might work out for me!  We shall see.

HOT/NOT: Toasty!! :D

Ohh btw did you catch Happy New year?!? I’m so in Love with SRK but my intuition says it’sgonna be a major flop L Why SRK WHY?!?!?!         

* Did you receive your FABBAG? Or have you tried any of the above products??*
