Skin18.com - Korean Skin Care Website - Mask Sheets - Review

Have you ever tried a face mask sheet? The ones which come with the funny little holes for the eyes, nose and mouth and make you look like a clown when you have them on?

Today's post is about face mask sheets that I got sometime back from a Korean Skincare Cosmetic Website called Skin18.com. These mask sheets are truly so adorable in their packaging that I wanted to click each and every one for you but will be restricting myself otherwise this post will be full of only images.

Skin18.com believes that you should focus on having gorgeous skin and use makeup only for enhancing your existing good looks. Korean skincare is known to focus on the ingredients in their products that target skin concerns.

I got a huge collection of different face mask sheets online from their website. Each of these retails around $3 which is way cheaper than the ones you get here in India at the moment.

Take a look at this one below. Is that cute or what! Each mask sheet comes packed in a foil based wrapper with a gorgeous image on front. The back side contains instructions on how to use the mask. Even though the text is mostly Korean they have pictures to show you how to use the mask.

Shopping From Sareez.com - Website Review

A few days back I tried my hand at a website that sells Indian traditional attire. I am very skeptical about material and workmanship while purchasing Indian outfits online but I really liked this piece while browsing online and so took the plunge.

Sareez.com has a huge array of Indian wear. Sarees, salwar suits, and even lehnga cholis. Each category then has many subcategories like printed sarees, embroidered sarees, anarkali suits, straight suits etc. You can filter on price, workmanship, color, material as well as occasion.

The best part is that the site caters to a huge budget range as well. Sarees start at a Rs 1000 for cotton sarees.

I got a Chiffon saree which is navy blue in color and the pallu is a fuscia pink butta work. The saree has very pretty embroidery with resham and zari thread. It has a stripe work and patch patti border. The saree is not pure chiffon (hence the lower price range).

Normally products are shipped in 25 days because they custom stitch it to your size. But if you are in a hurry (like me!) they have this special range of 7 day products. These products are shipped to you within 7 days. If you buy a saree they even stitch the blouse for you. I did not get mine stitched because I have other plans for this saree. Will share the final stitched product once it is ready and I am wearing it :)

Review: Shopalike.in - Fashion and Lifestyle Under One Roof

Online shopping has become the norm today. I for one, love to shop online and I am always looking for the best deals on the product I need. Shopalike.in is a nice concept of bringing together product listings from several shopping websites under one roof so that you can compare the prices and buy the product from whichever site has the best price.

Review: Shopalike.in - Fashion and Lifestyle Under One Roof

The interface to the Shopalike.in website is very easy to navigate. You can search for a particular product or browse through the several categories it offers. 

There are several categories that are offered on the website in the fashion, lifestyle and home decor domain.

Review: Shopalike.in - Fashion and Lifestyle Under One Roof

Currently there are 22 top shopping websites from which Shopalike.in offers you results for comparison.  So if you are searching for a white handbag (as I was, I need a good white handbag!) it will throw up results from websites like Flipkart.com, Jabong.com etc and allow you to compare these products at one go. No more flipping through several different websites to see which one is offering you the best deal.

Foodpanda.com - Website Review

How many of you hate to cook in the sweltering summers, please raise your hand! I love eating food cooked at home (by my mom!) and I hate to cook myself (I know its kind of crazy but I'll let you in on a little secret - I love to watch cookery shows and cupcake wars just keeps me hooked if there is nothing else to watch!) Anyhow, in summers I specially detest cooking and prefer to use the microwave despite the varying researches on whether its good or bad for the nutrients in the food. And I love eating out and ordering in.

Usually when we need to order food and have guests over we tend to order from multiple sites, so that we can cater to everyone's varying tastes. Some like pizzas, others want to have Chinese and some would like to have their traditional Indian food. It becomes crazy ordering from multiple sites (or over the phone) so this time we decided to try out foodpanda.in - I had heard good reviews about this and have also seen the mailers with special discounts as well. I thought I'd share my experience about using the site in case someone has not yet ventured to their website. (for those of you who are not based in India you can check out foodpanda.com and select your country - foodpanda actually has branches across 30 countries so do check out your local websites.)

IMBB - an inspiration for many!

This post is another review but this time I'm not reviewing another product - this is a review of a beauty blog that started about 4 years ago and I'm sure most of you have already visited this blog at-least once in the past 4 years.

I am talking about The Indian Makeup And Beauty Blog - well known as IMBB. When I was asked by Sanjeev (co-owner of this blog) to share my thoughts about the blog I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I was the first email subscriber of IMBB!

I still remember those days when I had stumbled upon a blog where the girl behind the posts, Rati, would meticulously review one product every day or share a makeup post. So I subscribed to get my fill of beauty every morning in my mail box. Later I started noticing the content increasing to more posts until one day, even before I could take a breather, there were about 10 posts in a day! Yes, Rati and Sanjeev grew the blog into a community where there were many bloggers writing for them.

Gem Pundit For Online Gem Shopping

The Indian festival season has begun. And soon you will be welcoming Dhanteras which is essentially known as the day when people buy new jewelry. And if you are looking for an online option to purchase jewelry which has semi-precious and precious stones then do check out GemPundit.

Gem Pundit is an online site which offers gems from different parts of the world. They even provide simple elegant jewelry in which these gems are used. A lot of gems have astrological significance. They have an option where you can get gem recommendation as well. 

But if you just want to wear them to add beauty to your attire then you can get the stone set in a pendant or ring. You can select the weight of the stone, the ring/pendant style, size and place your order. You can also add a sterling silver chain of your choice.

Are You Shopping At Full Price - Don't! Checkout TaazaCoupons

My frenzy with finding a discount coupon before making an online purchase has made me the go-to person by friends and family for any online purchase. Now really, what's the point in shopping online if you are paying the same as you would in-store, right? But finding coupons may not always be easy, and you all know how impatient I am - when I search and don't find something within 5 minutes, I will assume there is no valid coupon out there - that is where sites that offer coupons under a single roof come in very handy.

One such site is TaazaCoupons that I recently came across. I found a couple of coupons that worked instantly and that is how I stumbled upon their site!

The site is nicely designed without clutter so that you can easily navigate it. The front page itself has links to the main websites for which coupons are available.
Then there is a section on how to use the coupons.

There there is the section where you will find featured coupons, latest coupons and special offers. While coupon sections provide you with offers which require a coupon code, the special offers section gives you links to sites which are already running discounts and need no coupon. So basically all possible discount options are presented here for you to see.

The search feature is simple and easy to use - simply type in the website you are searching for and it will list down all special offers or coupons for the site.

Each offer clearly mentions the expiry date so you don't have to keep trying with invalid coupons. They have quite a few popular websites listed. They even have our favorite sites like majorbrands.in and medplusbeauty.com covered in their list - a great help to us beauty maniacs :)

Do let me know how often do you scour the web for offers before making an online purchase.

PS: Sponsored post - honest opinion after trying out the website, as always!

Fashion Haul From Snapdeal

Myntra Haul - Beauty Shopping Time!

Recently I was contacted by Myntra.com to try out their beauty section and was given a discount voucher to make my purchase. I was super excited and spent hours, yes hours and hours browsing through the beauty section which has 1090 products! Didn't know what to pick and what to leave. I was supposed to pick a couple of items but instead I did this complete haul!
