ONLINE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE - KHOOBSURATI.COM (HAUL)

Hey everyone! 

I'm reviewing an online shopping site, khoobsurati.com for you guys today. I'm a big online shopping buff and always on a lookout for nice websites. Hell I even order groceries online if I'm staying in a metro..so you get the idea! ;) 

I was randomly browsing some sites the other day when I came across this one. It looked pretty good, with all those categories and brands and everything so of course, I decided to give it a whirl. They have a vast product selection which is something I liked. And a bunch of categories that include footwear, clothing, accessories, skincare, makeup and hair products, perfumes etc. Also had good discounts and deals on pretty much everything. 

Here's what I ordered:
Basicare Vented Hair Brush
Panache headband
Panache Face Wash Roll
Sattvik Organics Eye Care under Eye Cream 









Delivery time - I placed an order on 16th october which was shipped the same day and received it on 19th october. Which is super fast considering my location.

Packaging - Bubble wrap, thermocol and box as you can see. Very secure. 
 
On orders over Rs. 300 they offer free shipping.

Payment options - Credit and debit cards, Cash on delivery( although they do charge you Rs. 40 for COD)

The site is very user friendly and the customer support team is great. The eye cream smells heavenly ..how should I describe it..mmmmmm ..it smells like roasted almonds ..and salty caramel ..and coconut ..I could eat it :D And I'm in love with the headband ..it's so quirky and fun. Let me know if you guys are interested in a hairdo tutorial :)

My rating - 4.7/5

Would I shop again? YES! What's not to like?

             
                                             
                                        Thanks for reading :)

COLORBAR EXCLUSIVE NAIL LACQUER LIME MARGARITA -SWATCHES & REVIEW




*sigh*
I think this color has me under a spell. I can't stop looking at it. 

Price:
Rupees 175 for 9 ml.

My Take:
That color! It's all kinds of beautiful..! Doesn't it look like something tinkerbell would wear while she twirls her tiny green dress around sprinkling pixie dust all over? ^_^ 
I think this shade looks a lot better off-camera. It's a lot prettier and a lot more neon and I love love love it! The formula is pretty good and not at all streaky. I have three coats on and no top coat. Even after three coats it's not completely opaque but I think i can live with it considering how pretty this shade is. It's also very close to china glaze's I'm with the lifeguard minus all that shimmer.

My rating:
4.5/5 

You can buy it here if you want.

How do you like neon nails? Let me know in the comments section below :)

REVIEW : ANATOMICALS BODY CLEANSERS -NEW YORK LONDON PARIS AND FOAM, SHOWER TO THE PEOPLE , SUD THE LOT OF YOU ;)

Hey everyone!
Before I begin, here's a few pictures for you to drool over :P









About Anatomicals:
Approaching skincare with a tongue-in-cheek attitude, cult brand Anatomicals, 'only want you for your body'.
Formulating effective products for the face and body, Anatomicals are known for their bright colors and cool packaging, not to mention the provocative attention-grabbing product names such as 'The Bender Mender' and 'Snog Me Senseless'.


Price:
3 GBP each, which is roughly 300 Rupees for a 300 ml bottle.

My experience:
'The world stinks. I don't.':D 

I'm a big shower gel enthusiast. Especially the yummy-smelling fruity ones. I have a huge collection but these are the ones I'm always reaching out for. The quirky packaging..the catchy slogans..the bright colors..what's not to love? 

Sud the lot of you, which is my favorite out of the three, smells like a very concentrated mango drink(think maaza:D) Heavenly!

New York London Paris and Foam is also BERRY fruity ;) blueberries, raspberries and a whole lot of other fruits. Smells yummy!

Shower to the people is more on the citrus side. People who don't want to smell like a tropical fruit drink would probably like this a lot.

They're pretty easy to use and to close. So you can carry them with you when you travel. I love that they have a pump. 
All of these are paraben free which is something I prefer. Although, you need quite a bit of the product to get it to lather up nicely but that's fine with me. They're not at all drying and leave my skin feeling fresh, clean and moisturized.
You can grab one here 

My rating:

4.7/5 ^_^

Will I repurchase?

Yes! ALWAYS!


I've had my eye on their 'I am woman, hear me snore' sleep mask for so long but it's never in stock. Have you tried any products from Anatomicals? Let me know in the comments section below :)

VELVETTE BOXBAG .. SEPTEMBER 2013 (Anniversary Edition)

Hey everyone!

I received my September vellvette bag last week. This was a special anniversary edition and came in an adorable satiny polka dotted bag :D. I ordered mine pretty late (probably on the very last day) and it reached within a week so no complaints there. Here's what I got.




1. Organic surge shine boost conditioner 100 ml
2. Beauty UK eyeshadow  palette -Earth Child (Full size)
3. Flormar deluxe shine gloss lipstick in DC33 (Full size)
4. Compact brush (Soo cute isn't it?)


Value wise (Rupees 499) the box is great! It has two full sized products. I loved everything! But if i had to pick one, the flormar lipstick would probably be my favorite. Love the color. It's more of a lipbalm/stain than a lipstick and is perfect for everyday.
How did you guys like it all? Do comment and let me know :)


I'm listening to "Baby One More Time By Bowling For Soup" as i write this post. Give it a listen. I like it better than the original!

Also, I just finished reading "Life Eternal By Yvonne Woon" which was a sequel to "Dead beautiful" and boyy!What a read it was! Loved it to bits! But it ended with a cliffhanger! A cliffhanger!!!! Don't you just hate it when that happens? The next book doesn't come out until next year :( so I'm a little out of sorts. To take my mind off it I'm going to watch the new episode of The Vampire Diaries and treat myself to some comfort food ^_^


What are your plans for tonight?
