Merry Christmas !

Hello everyone! Hope you all are enjoying yourself during the last week of the year!

If you have holidays during this time go out and make the most of them. For those of you who are still working, hopefully the workload is lighter than normal.

I created this simple Christmas nail art which I call The Pink Christmas!
I used Cici & Sisi Christmas stamping plate, Innisfree Eco Nail Color Pro 2 nail polish, and KB Shimmer Green Hex Glam glitter polish to create the tree.
Do take good care of your health and relax whenever you find the time to.

Let me know if you have some Christmas plans in the comments below!

Merry Christmas!!!!

My Envy Box February 2015 - Miss Malini Limited Edition

I'm quite late to post about the February 2015 My Envy Box. But this is a special box curated specially by the team at Miss Malini, so I thought a late post is still better than not posting at all.

The box this time was black with bright pink and white used for the text.

Inside it had a bright pink bag containing all the goodies. The box contained a special voucher worth Rs 500 that can be redeemed at H2O counters across the country. It also contains a card that allows you to get a makeover at Sephora not just for yourself but for a friend too!

Coming to the products, lets see what all I got inside my envy box this month.

1. Skin Yoga Post Workout Neem Purifier (Price: Rs 1550 for 200gm)

This is a body scrub that contains pure neem leaves and coconut meal. I find the products from Skin Yoga pretty expensive so its always good to try out a sample sized product. The sample is around 20gm so should be good for two usages.

2. Innisfree Wine Peeling Jelly Softner (Price: Rs 900 for 180ml)

This is one product I am really happy to try out. I like products from Innisfree and this one boasts of real wine. I do wish the sample was a bit larger. There are two small sachets in the box this time. It is basically a cleanser for the face.

3. LYN Nail Polish (Price: Rs 350 for 12ml) 

A full sized product in the box always makes me happy. The nail paint I got is a bright red - perfect for the theme of Valentines. I will share the swatches in the coming days.

Unboxing My Envy Box - October 2014 Anniversary Edition

First of all let me congratulate the team behind My Envy Box for a successful year! October is the Anniversary of My Envy Box and this month's box has been curated by Vogue India. The box spells luxury right from the packaging. October's My Envy Box is a lovely golden box.

This time the products inside are all skin/hair care related and there are a couple of extras that we'll see one by one. Instead of the usual 4-5 samples the anniversary special box contains a total of 7 products. These products are also winners of the Vogue Beauty Awards and are truly handpicked by the experts!

Starting from top left going around in a clockwise direction - 

1. Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover (Price: Rs. 1950 for 125mL - sample size 5mL)

This is a generous sized sample and I am quite excited to try this one out. 

2. Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief (Price: Rs 3550 for 50ml - sample size 1.5ml)

Clinique Moisture Surge is an oil-free moisturiser that is said to work for all skin types. Since this is a small sample I am going to use it up during the Diwali break (yes no office for 2 days followed by a weekend!)

3. Sebastian Professional Potion 9 (Price: Rs 1450 for 150ml - sample 10ml) 

This is a sachet of a hair serum - I have not used any products from this brand before and actually detest using serums out of sachets I am planning to tip it into a small pot and then use it. This is not a one time use sachet and I don't want to waste the product. Lets see how my  hair reacts to this one.

Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Ribbon Nail Art

October is the month of Breast Cancer awareness. This month we unite with only one motto in mind - to spread awareness about breast cancer - to spread the message that early detection can save lives. There are many women out there who have lost their life to this disease. But, there are others who have survived - and the difference is in the awareness they had. So let us join hands in spreading the message of early checkups and regular examinations to prevent this disease.

My little attempt in spreading this awareness is through a mani I did with the symbol of the pink ribbon - Pink Ribbon is a symbol of breast cancer awareness.

Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Ribbon Nail Art

For this mani I used Innisfree polish #2 (reviewed HERE) as the base. I stamped white hearts on all the nails using GE white polish. On the accent finger I used Sally Hansen Confetti Punch 05.

To make the ribbon all you need is any polish of your choice and a soft plastic sheet.

Hi everyone, finally I'm sharing this post on my current love in polish - the Innisfree Eco Nail Color Pro number 2 that I got in my June MyEnvyBox (click HERE to see what all I got)

Innisfree Eco Nail Color Pro 2 - Review & Swatches

The Innisfree Eco Nail Color Pro comes in a cute glass bottle with a large white cap. Shade 2 is a gorgeous pastel pink color and is so soothing to look at!  

Innisfree Eco Nail Color Pro 2 - Review & Swatches

The polish has a large brush (the kind I like) and it goes on streak free. The finish is glossy but you do need two coats to get the full opaque color on your nails. I had this on for a week and I even did nail art on it. During the week it starts to fade off at the edges but does not chip.

Price: Rs 300 (10ml)

I will add this to the more expensive lot of polishes that I own (yes the Maybelline ones cost so less that this is in the expensive category now!) And I so want to get hold of all the other pretty pastel shades from the Eco Nail Color Pro range.

Have you tried any polish from Innisfree - any recommendations on shades that I should get?

Innisfree Real Skin CC Cream SPF30 PA++ - Review and Swatches

I have read a lot of cc cream reviews and always heard that cc creams of Korean brands are better than the ones we get here in the market. The earlier ones I tried were samples from Elisha Coy and Rojukiss. They were tiny samples and were a big color mismatch. Lately however I got the chance to try out the Innisfree Real Skin CC Cream. Let me tell you how it fared on me.

Innisfree Real Skin CC Cream SPF30 PA++ - Review and Swatches

Innisfree Real Skin CC Cream comes in a cute classy pump bottle. I really liked the packaging. The outer packaging as well as the bottle come in a soothing light color. The version I have is a red color corrector. The details about the product are listed on the outer box but unfortunately there is no ingredient list.
