Organic Products At Your Doorstep

Another haul, another new website, I'm an online shopping addict I must say. But this time I chose to go organic and try out some things from EcoTokri. (And there is a surprise offer for all you readers - which I will mention at the end)

Violet Bag Haul!

Recently I hauled from one of my favorite online shopping websites – violetbag.com

The website has a huge array of products but the reason its my favorite is that whenever I have been short on time they have delivered on time – once I even had to leave for an outstation trip and my products reached me within 2 days to make sure I had the necessary items before I left. I was extremely happy with their service.

Before I show pictures of my haul let me show you the interface this website has.

The first page has a display of their latest offers and a short glimpse into their array of products. At the top of the page there is a menu which allows you to chose which product area you want to browse to.

My bad experience at M.A.C store and great one at YSL

I had heard so much about the M.A.C. Foundations that today I finally walked my self to the M.A.C. store in Shopper's Stop GIP (Noida)

A girl welcomed me and I told her I was looking for the studio fix foundation and wanted to do a shade match for my skin tone. She casually took out a shade and said it would match me. I asked her to give me a drop to try out, she reluctantly placed one drop on my hand and went silent. I did not know whether she wanted me to try it on my face or just on my hand. I rubbed a small amount on my hand and it clearly did not match my skin tone. She rudely said how is it supposed to match your hand - you are supposed to match it on your face.

So, I told her I already had some make-up on my face so if she could give me something to wipe it off first - she went and brought back a dry tissue (forgot to mention I was not asked to sit down and try out the things - she just made me stand there the whole time)

I tried to wipe off with it but since it was dry I couldn't - I asked her if she had something wet or a cleanser I could use. She just handed me another shade, a more yellowish shade and said this will be too dark for you but you can try it.

My sister was with me and she asked the SA to give a correct match. She just kept saying the one she had shown first was the only match. I tried that shade on my jaw line and clearly it was sitting on like a chalk rubbed on my skin. I told her this was clearly not a match. The SA just stood there. My sister tried to explain to her that until it matches properly there is no point in using  a foundation. But since the SA just stood there without helping out, my sister finally told her that the foundation she was wearing was also too light for her since it was clearly visible on her face. But the SA just seemed to be in a world of her own showing a 'I don't care' attitude. She just said the shades are all in front of you pick whatever you like but the one I showed you is the correct match.

We finally left without buying anything from there.

The small amount I did sample out was not something that I liked either. I am not sure I would ever purchase a MAC any more :(

Next we walked over to the YSL counter, the counter had very few products but the SA was really sweet. She asked what I was looking for and readily told me I could sample the foundations that they had. She chose a shade and applied it on my arm - the feeling of that foundation was out of this world smooth!

I told her I wanted to apply it on my face to check, she went ahead and bought me a YSL cleanser, gave me two swabs with lots of cleanser so that I could cleanse my face properly. After that she asked me to sit down comfortably while she applied the foundation on my face. I told her the shade seemed slightly lighter to me - so she went and bought the next best match and applied that to the other side of the face. She applied both foundations really well, completely covering the face (half with one and the other half with the other shade) - my face looked so smooth. Even though she was applying very less foundation I was seeing my marks getting covered properly without giving me any feeling of anything on my face.

The shade that matched me was not in stock so she took down my number and also gave her number to me. 

I have already reviewed the YSL Teint Singulier Sheer Powdercreme and I am surely purchasing this one in my correct shade as soon as it is in stock.
