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

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*

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.

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?  * 

MNG 'Your Jeans' Mango Eu De Toilette

MNG Your Jeans was launched by Mango in 2005.

Top/Head Notes: Green Leaves and Lemon.

Middle/Heart Notes: Spices and Cardomom.

Base Notes: Fruity notes and Vanilla.

MNG Your Jeans is the first perfume I bought for myself and since then I’m hooked. My friends literally identify me with this scent.

"This fragrance will always remind me of my 20’s for the rest of my life. I’m sure, down the years when I’m 47, with 2 grown up kids and a husband who’s too busy watching cricket to notice me. I’m in that phase of life when everything has come to a standstill and I feel like I’m losing myself. When I reach menopause… I shall reach into my secret treasure chest, dig out this perfume and take whiff.

It’ll instantly transport me back to my carefree days of growing up, facing the world… taking it by the horns, every moment that built the foundation of the woman I am. And everything will be good with the world again!"   

[Enough with the melodrama already! I swear my emotional attachment to this fragrance shall not influence my take on this perfume. #whitelies]

Remember perfumes always sit differently on everyone. The scent fuses with the body chemistry and gives out a unique fragrance.

Main Accords: On intial application, it smells fruity, citrus. Say an hour later, after the citrusy notes evaporate, I start getting a whiff of the vanilla notes. After 2-3 hours, it settles in warm and spicy. As the day progresses, it gets more muskier and warmer on me.

I love the way this fragrance blends with my body chemistry.

I’ve heard a few females complain this only stays on them for 3 hrs max. But I’d like to point out Eu De Toilette versions aren’t meant to stay on forever.

For longer stay, please look for scents which are Eu De Parfum.

However, this does stay on me forever! A good 10 hours without re-applying!! And for an Eu De toilette, I think that’s exceptionally good.

I personally like the warm and spicy heart note of this perfume which smells better when it’s a little lived in. If re-applied within 3 hrs, the scent can get a tad bit over powering. Coz mind you, this isn’t your subtle, delicate, fresh as a daisy scent. This is pretty hard core.

This is ideally a summer day scent . But if you’re a rebel like me, let no one tell you what to wear and when!

If I wanna smell like your jeans all year…I goddamn shall and will! (pun intended)  

Fair Warning: If you are looking for a mature, classy scent… this isn’t for you.

I shall not recommend this for the mature ladies say >35 yrs of age.

All you sassy, care-a-damn, warm, seductive…but on a budget girlies, go get a whiff of it. NOW!
