Haul From The Body Shop

The Body Shop is a much loved brand by all. It has an amazing range of products that have a lot of natural ingredients.  The Body Shop products are also 100 % cruelty free and i definitely prefer using brands that do not test on animals. So, i had read so many rave reviews about the body shop products especially the body butters. I has asked for suggestions on Facebook once for recommendations on good shampoos for flaky scalp/ dandruff issues, i was suggested the TBS Ginger Shampoo....

My aunt was coming down from Canada and they had some awesome offers for TBS products. I ordered a few things to try out since i wasn't sure if i would fall in love with every single product. I asked my aunt to get me the ginger shampoo and body butters! My aunt got me a color crush lipstick as well... The body butters are just amazing! I love the fragrance and i'm sure all those with dry skin will love it. I have just started using the shampoo so i can't say yet whether it works for me. I can definitely say that it cleanses the scalp very nicely though i don't like the smell of ginger too much! Par kya kare... Kuch paane ke liye kuch khona padta hai... hehe

Enjoy the pictures of my haul from The Body Shop! In case you want me to review anything first do let me know!

Maybelline ColorShow Glitter Mania All That Glitters : Review & NOTD

Hi Everyone,

As usual i keep going MIA for a while..I've been meaning to post this review since  a long time. A couple of months back Maybelline launched the Glitter Mania nail paints in India. I resisted picking them up for quite some time... The moment i tried these nail paints i was smitten by this range. Today i am going to review that shade All That Glitters.

About Maybelline Color Show Glitter Mania:

Priding itself as India's first-ever textured nail paint, the Color Show Glitter Mania range is every nail-art lover's dream!

• When applied on nails, it delivers a 3D shimmering effect
• Perfect for experimental, trendy nail art
• Easy to apply and dries quickly
• Comes in 8 trendy, glittering shades

Price & Quantity:

Rs.125 for 8 ml

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.

The shade All That Glitters is a lovely yellow gold 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. This is perfect for the upcoming Shaadi Season. I can definitely see myself using this shade a lot in the upcoming months.

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. But now that issue is solved for me... I've got any amazing Nail Polish remover from Colorbar with which i can remove this glitter polish within seconds... shall review that soon

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 yellowgold shade with shimmer and glitter particles
6. Stays on for 5 days without chipping
7. Adds a glamour quotient to your looks

Cons:

1. Difficult to take off 

Final Views: 

Maybelline is one of my favourite brands and 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. Plus, All That Glitters is such a pretty shade.... Perfect for the wedding season!
