Hi Everyone,

The only line going on in my head tonight is "Its raining, its pouring" from the song Sun & Moon by Above & Beyond cuz it rained today in Mumbai... I had planned to click a lot of pictures today but i couldn't because of the rains. So im posting a pending review... You have previously read reviews of Maybelline Glitter Mania on the blog. Today i am going to review my favourite shade from the range called Starry Nights.

My Experience:

Maybelline Color Show Glitter polishes comes in a sleek cylindrical clear bottle with a black screw on cap. The shade name is mentioned on the cap. It comes with a very good quality brush.  I'm loving the look of the Glitter Mania Nail Paints. The texture of the nail color is neither runny nor too thick. It applies very evenly and smoothly onto the nails. It dries pretty fast and you need just two coats to get an opaque finish. In case you don't want to go completely opaque, this shade look pretty good with just one coat as well. 

The shade Starry Nights is a lovely black shade with silver hexes and micro shimmer. These nail polishes give a slightly sand like texture to the nails. It's a beautiful shade and will never look OTT. It adds a glamour quotient to your look. A must have shade from this range. Perfect for western outfits and parties. Honestly, i have worn this shade on a regular working day as well... and it looks perfectly alright :)

This stays on my nails for a good 5 days without any sort of chipping. Only con of this nail polish is that removing it would be a task. This applies to all glitter polishes. 

Pros:

1. Simple and compact packaging
2. Good quality brush
3. Dries very fast
4. Gives a sand like texture to the nails
5. Beautiful black with shimmer and glitter particles
6. Stays on for 5 days without chipping
7. Adds a glamour quotient to your looks
8. Perfect for parties and western outfits

Cons:

1. Difficult to take off 

Final Views: 

Maybelline is an iconic brand and we all love it for its reasonable prices. I'm highly impressed by this range as well... If you haven't tried these out as yet please go and buy one shade... its impossible to get textured/ glitter nail polishes at this price. Recently, Maybelline launched their graffiti top coats! I'm dying to try those... 

Hope you liked this review. I love reading and replying to all your comments.

The Nature's Co Beauty Wish Box April Edition Review

Hi Girls,

So officially, this is my first review of a Beauty Wish Box on the blog. I have tried Blisscovered and Fab Bag before... But none of them really impressed me that much. Though i have been impressed by a couple of products received through such bags/boxes. Anyhow, the reason for the post is this the lovely beauty wish box from The Nature's Co. which was slightly delayed in arriving due to a technical glitch.

The Nature's Co. Beauty Wish Box is brand centric as you all know. They send in 6 sample sized products based on the theme. This month's theme was based on summer. It's pretty hot in Mumbai and i guess in most parts of India as well.The products were nicely bubble wrapped and came inside a cute jute sling which i adore(though one product was slightly damaged - i managed to save it :D ).

So let's see what i got in my Beauty Wish Box.

1.Tangerine - Ginger Bath Salt:

Honestly, i have never used bath salts before and I'm really excited to try this out. It smells heavenly! The Tangerine will open the pores and speed out the toxins from congested skin while Ginger will heal and soothe!

2.Lemon Peel Exfoliating Body Wash :

This was the damaged product :( The tube has opened up from the top.. i have fixed it temporarily with some cello tape. I love body washes and i was so depressed when i saw the damaged product. Anyway, the lemony scent is too good! Can't wait to use it. It contains kiwi seeds and walnut grits which will hopefully exfoliate the skin gently, leaving the skin smooth.

3.Cool Cucumber Body Lotion:

I'm sure all of us know the innumerable benefits and uses of Cucumber. During summers our skin needs a soothing and cooling effect and that's exactly what this body lotion offers.. Hope the product lives up to the expectations i have from it. 

4.Cherry Face Wash: 

The face wash looks so lovely with the cherry red colour. I have a combination skin, so lets see how it works for me and whether its keeps the oil in control.

5. Red & Green Tea Sun Screen Lotion:

Sun screen's are like the most important products to be used in summers. We should use sunscreens all year round but they are definitely a must have product during summers. Red Tea will protect your skin from the harsh UV rays and green tea has powerful anti-oxidant properties. There is no mention of the amount of SPF protection it will provide. 

6. Mango Mandarin Body Mist:

There are two samples of the same mist. I wish they would have sent two different ones!  The scent is a lil too strong for me... I'll need to use it a couple of times before i say a final word about these!

The Nature's Co. have presented us with a beautiful sarong from The Beach Company. I got a lovely floral one.

Honestly, this beauty wish box is worth the price. You get enough amount of sample to try and decide what you like for your routine. Plus they also offer a 35% discount on the full sized products and a 10 min complimentary spa treatment at their store. They have also included a 15% discount coupon which can be used on The Beach company website.

Price of the Beauty Wish Box : Rs.595 

You can order your's Here

I loved this box! Have you used any products from The Nature's Co? Do let me know your views about them in the comments below.

Oriflame Very Me Nail Graffiti Base Coat & Top Coat : Review and NOTD

Hi Girls,

When I was in college, I had this phase with nail paints... I just hoarded them... and then that moment came when I just stopped using them. Its been like 3 years that I've used nail polishes regularly. So, now I'm not a nail paint hoarder but i use nail paints on a regular basis.

That was about me! Anyway today what I'm going to talk about is the Oriflame Very Me Nail Graffiti in the shades Gold & Black. Gold is the base coat and Black is the graffiti top coat.

So, today I'm gonna do a quick review for you on these nail paints. The base coat is available in 3 shades Silver, Fuchsia & Gold. I got the gold shade cause i anyway wanted a gold polish in my stash. The top coat is again available in 3 shades Black, Blue & Pink. I got the black one as the gold and black combo looks so s*xy and its easily wearable.

As you can see a variety of colours are available which you can mix and match according to you taste. Another plus point with this product is that you can use the top coat with other nail polishes as well it gives the same crackle effect on all nail polishes *yayy!!!*

I've applied two coats of the base colour i.e. Gold. It dries pretty fast and gives a non streaky finish... I love it! The moment you apply the top coat it starts drying and starts cracking to see the amazing effect. Ideally, you should finish with a top coat for a more polished finish. I haven't applied a top coat and it lasted on me easily for 3 days without any chipping. I can't comment much about its lasting power cause i had to remove it on the third day for a function... it just didn't go with my outfit! *sad face*

Price & Quantity : Rs.199 for 8ml

Would  I Recommend? Oh yes! You need to try this if you like the crackle effects or you are into nail art or you just want to try something new.

Hope you liked this mini review. Do leave your views in the comments! I love to read them :)
