I cant imagine my online shopping world without Coastal scents ,Buyincoins and eBay.
I often shop from these sites the things which are difficult or expensive to get in India or Dubai
More than the country the price factor plays an important role in my shopping . I am always on the lookout for good deals .

Fab India oatmeal scrub pack
I bought this pack in a shopping spree (which happens most of the time)during my vacation in india
One can mix the pack with milk or yogurt but i used this pack with milk .
I ve normal to combi skin. It makes the skin smooth and refreshed . Mostly its better to use it in your shower since theres a lot of fallouts from the pack
It comes in a small ceramic jar with a loose lid . If not carefully held it definitely guarantees breakage from dropping it down. I personally like the idea of reusable ceramic jar but it not practical to have a pack in a jar with a loose lid
The pack comes inside the jar in a ziplock pouch which can be resealed use after use so the packs efficiency/smell are retained . Thats a good idea though!!!
What i likeπππ
Priced at rs 275
The smell and almost all natural ingredient list. It smells great of rose and when mixed in milk makes it like a at home spa treat.
What i hateπππ
The unnecessary rose petal here and there makes the pack difficult to stick to ur face and body
I would ve preferred a smooth powdered texture or the dried rose petals more smaller in size

One earring is split shipped so not shown above..The packaging is good as usual with bubble wrap.
In a single bubble wrap all were packed..It would ve been better if it was packed individually.
The ipad case had its corners folded a bit with crease marks .Other than that no compalints.
The vintage neck piece and peacock feather chain are my favourites..The lip finger ring and ladybug earring is so adorable which I got for my pre teen daughter. She loved it so much.
Iam travelling to China and Hongkong in July .Me looking forward to buying more from the source itself !!!!
Which are your favourites?

Easy Smokey eye with NYX jumbo pencil slate
I prefer only subtle eye makeup. When I was trying to do a black smokey eye with gold highlights I came up with this look.
Applied Nyx Jumbo pencil in slate as a base upto crease and dabbed black eye shadow on it.
Softened the harsh lines with gold E/S.
Highlighter I used NYX vanilla sky.
Lined my eyes with black eyepencil from amway in coal.
I used Essence Lash mania mascara.
BTW I read somewhere thats Essence Lash mania is a dupe of Dior show mascara..Cool na
Hope you gurls like this..
Most awaited sale at coastal scents ..30-50% off on palettes.

NYX Jumbo pencils-Many ways to use it
| lt to rt :Swatches of pots and pans,cottage cheese,black bean,strawberry milk |
USES*
Eyeshadow Base-The main use of this pencil is as a base.
Use white eyepencil to line the waterline to make the eyes look bigger and more awake.
Browbone highlighter
Inner corner brightner/highlighter
Eyeliner(least Favourite of mine due to its staying power and texture) but once set with loose eyeshadow stays put for hours..
Price: Around 250 rs (I bought all mine during sale for 160 rs)
Overall I like these but over hyped..
Review : Sun protection for lips from labello with SPF 30
Just like our skin even our lips need protection from the harmful rays of the sun.
Before my summer vaction I bought this lipbalm ..It has a thick whitish texture and colour .Its water proof making it ideal to be worn during beach holidays.
I applied a thick coat under my normal lipstick which made the lipstick to last even longer.
Usually after holidays of continous roaming in sun my lips tend to become a little brown.With the usage of this lipbalm tanning in my lips were controlled.Thats the main reason I love this product.
Availability: Not sure about India.
May be available where Labello products are sold..
Price: Very reasonable below 120 rs.
I was surprised to see in India that Himalaya lip balm at Rs 25 whereas the Nivea was around Rs 130 or so. Here in Dubai Himalaya costs a whopping 250rs and nivea is 70 rs!!!!
Rating: 5/5
Added to my definite repurchase list..

Best of Bourjois
Finally I ve learnt to take close ups of my cosmetics without blurring the names...YEEE.
Now back to the track ...
I got these 2 blushes which r bourjois's best sellers.Thats what the MUA claimed.
72 TOMETTE and 48 CENTER DE ROSE BRUNE ..
Apparently I read somewhere that 48 blush is one of their oldest being there from the late 1800's or early 1900's
The clubbing eyeliners are the best so far in terms of staying power and no smudge promise..it stays put for a cool 6hrs even in water line ...wow.
2 out of the 5 eyepencils I got from chennai where it retails for Rs 335 and i got for 318rs.
The colours are Blue Neon and Green Insomniac.
| center de rose brune and tomette |
The rest of the eyepencils are from Dubai..In Indian rs its roughly 312 during sale..The price of the blush dont remember. But these 2 are some of the best blushes I love..
I didnt buy them all in a single go ..kept buying them in sale ..By now you should ve known that Iam a sensible buyer...
My MAC Haul from Chennai
My annual vacation to Chennai is never complete without 20 kgs of cosmetics...LOL
This time it was great mainly becos i was able to get these from MAC which i was eyeing for a long time....Vacations are all about indulgence ...
| The colour is like brick red shade but not very bright red/maroon |
| top:madly magenta,rt 2nd row -coygirl,dollymix,down NC 42 and Indianwood paint pot |
| rt to lft:madly magenta,dollymix,coygirl,indianwood paint pot,studio fix foundation in NC 42 |
Studio fix foundation in NC 42
Paint pot in Indianwood
Amplified lipstick in brick o la
Powder blush in Coygirl and Dollymix..The reason for buying coygirl was that I wanted Sakura from Quite cute collection , which they had only one left .But it had glitter in the middle which i thought i wont be able to carry off and this coygirl is an almost exact dupe for sakura sans the glitter..
Cream colour base in Madly magenta ..This is a lovely but shocking magenta which can be used in many ways starting from cheeks to lips to eyes.. Love it but i wont be able to finish this in this life time becos its tooooo pigmented.
Thanks to Rashmi and Anamika of http://www.indyabeauty.com/ and http://www.wiseshe.com/ for their reccomendations...
I hope I ve made the right choice ..What do u think? What r ur fav's from MAC?
