REVIEW: Vaseline Health White

NOTE: This is an OLD POST and when I was editing it. It some how ended up with this date which looks like the new post but its not. I did this post during the starting of this year's summer. :)

Usually this size of any Vaseline lotion comes for with in Rs.100. But this one surprisingly was for Rs.165. I love Vaseline Body Lotions. They are not sticky, affordable  and you keep going back for more ^_^. This is not my first time using this product. When it first came out in India, I bought their small bottle and I quiet liked it. I don't know why I never repurchased a big bottle. But since summer is here and I needed a light lotion for day time I figured why not that Vaseline pink bottle lotion? So now, posted a review ^_^.

HAUL: Forever Living Skincare products

A SHORT STORY: My Dad... he is crazy/addicted to FOREVER LIVING ALOE VERA GEL and their other FOREVER LIVING products. He knows a dealer of FOREVER LIVING products who gets him these products with in 10-20% discount. Every month he has to go to the main shop with the dealer to buy his aloe vera juice and he always asks me if I want anything

Second Haul from StyleCraze.com

Long story short : I ordered "Pond's Age Miracle Anti-Ageing Tented Moisturizer with UV SPF 15 PA" in Sheer Ivory 01 for the first time cause I read all these great reviews about it but later they called to say that they were out of stock with that product so I decided that it would be better to cancel the whole order because I was planning to get more products from this site later on. After 5-6mins later I get an email that its been canceled but on top of that I received Rs.250/- Discount coupon code. You can imagine the look of surprise on my face of happiness. Love random discount coupon codes which feels like there's an Angel out there! Shopping Angel lol. Later I ordered this Panasonic Eyelash Curler for Rs.676/- in their website. I used the discount coupon code on top of that, so in the end my finale bill came up to Rs.426/- How lovely is that ^_^.

SWATCH on me - Lakme Lip Love in Love Haze

LAKME 

Lip Love Lipstick 

in 

Love Haze

Rs.512/-

Where I bought it from? 

StyleCraze.com

I apologize in advance for the messy hair in this pic. But sometimes I like the messy hair look. What important thing which matters is that its shampooed and conditioned. LOL. 

Just the usual foundation, mascara and lipstick. 

MY TAKE ON THIS PRODUCT - I found it very creamy but not runny. Good nude shade. Looks peachy brown to me. But after drinking and eating, it has to be applied again. Or else its all good. 

WOULD I BUY THIS AGAIN?: No, because in my case this lipstick will last forever? lol. Only time will tell. 

So, that was my mini swatch and review post. 

Hope it was helpful? 

Comment would be really appreciated ^___^. 

With loads of love,

Tiny Bells for Pets From Khan Market - Delhi

Bought these cute looking tiny animal head shaped bells for my Dog. I forgot the name of the pet store there but I'm guessing you can find these just anywhere as long as its a pet store lol. The inner girly side of me squealed when my eyes caught these. They come for Rs.50 each so bought two. 1 Panda and the other is a cute pink piggy with a fake diamond ear. They are so cute! I just don't know how long I can stand the sounds of the bells since my doggiie (male) moves in the house all the time! LOL. 

And my second purchase I want to share with you lovely readers is my PINK GRAPEFRUIT MARMALADE!

Its a jam made out of Pink Grapefruit. Its a fruit which has a taste of 'sourness' with a tiny winy hint of 'sweetness'. So this jam tastes kind of like that. Rs.165 made in Scotland. 100% Natural with no coloring. From Khan Market. Again, didn't paid any attention to the name of the shop from where I bought it from. LOL. 

Thank you for taking time to read my blog,

xoxo, A.B.P

Would really appreciate your comments  down below ^__^.

HAUL: from StyleCraze.com

There's a new Indian Shopping website opened up recently called StyleCraze. So, how come this website is different from UrbanTouch or HealthKart and so many other new Indian shopping websites in the block these days? This website sells 'Orly Nail Polishes' ^___^. 

They provide FREE SHIPPING on purchase of above Rs.250/- and they have COD option provided too. 

What I liked about this site was that the nail polish swatches were displayed very clearly for their customers to get an idea exactly what kind of shade it would be. They are fast as they promised '3Days Shipping'. I ordered on Saturday during day time and received an email saying it has been shipped and received my package by Monday Afternoon. 

This website has some interesting products which I would like to purchase next time. Plus, another great thing I liked about this site is the freebies! Little freebrie trinkets they sent. 

Do It Yourself: Kotatsu!

This is my home made Kotatsu. 

Now you must be thinking, "What is Kotatsu?"

For people who don't know what Kotatsu is, 

Well, a Kotatsu is a low wooden table covered by a futon, or a heavy blanket, upon which a table top sits. Underneath is a heat source, often built into the table itselt. Kotatsu is mostly used exclusively in Japan. 

To know more about it click HERE.

For more example of what a Kotatsu looks like in Japan, I uploaded some photos which I got from Google Images :).

Ramen is the food to my heart

I love Ramen! 

Noodle soups or whatever you want to call it. 

I love watching Korean Dramas, Japanese Dramas, Japanese animation, Jap - Koream movies and their culture and fashion and Kpop music. I can eat ramen all day, all night long and never get fed up of it.

These days in the market (those very fancy grocery stores which sell 'important' food nick-nacks) you can get these :-

Its made in Korea ramen noodles which feels great having this and watching one of your favorite Kdrama online (hehe). 

HAUL: UrbanTouch

1.Parachute Advanced Body Lotion - Rs.99

2.Lotus Herbals Kera - Veda Herbal Oil - Rs.175

3.Lotus Herbals Kera Amla Herbal Shampoo - Rs.140

4.Lotus Hebals Shea Butter & Real Strawberry Moisturizer - Sheamoist - Rs.175

5.Free Gift from UrbanTouch.com - Vaadi Herbals Facial Bar - Kesar Chandan with Orange Peel. 

I was curious about the Lotus Herbals Kera-Veda hair oil so I ordered that along with the Amla shampoo. Will review these products later after I use them for a while :). 

Hair Care: Hair Oils

(Oils, loads of it!)

As you can see from the above photo, I have gone OIL CRAZY! Yes, that's right.. OIL CRAZY! haha. First let me introduce you to a little important secret behind "Why Indian women's hair is so long,strong and beautiful in the first place?" As growing up in India I have noticed the Indian Mothers who massage their children's head with hair oils while the kids fuss over it, that they want to go outside and play rather then get oil on their heads but when they grow up. They thank their mothers for doing so and they pass on the tradition to their children while they fuss over it and it goes on and on and the tradition continues :). 

Through the beginning of time, here in India. People have been oiling their hair. The ones who have been oiling their hair, they have noticed that their hair looked healthy, feels healthy, the grey hair start coming out very late in their case. But now with the western culture we are mixing up, getting hooked on to colors, shampoos, conditioners, perming and so on and on. With all that comes chemicals. We love doing that but in the end we have this phase of "hair fall" and "OMG, what should I do to stop this?!" and then we "Google" and then we "freak out" reading over all kinds of hair fall diseases and more hair fall happens getting worried over it! lol.

And yes, most people including me and you freak out when someone says "oil?!" and "oil is sticky and oily" "I am scared that my hair will become oily if I oil it or continue to oil it." and so on. But in the end if nothing else works. Why not go the natural Indian way and start oiling up!  ^_^. Because if it gets oily, we have shampoos to wash that off so why worry? Common logic no? :).

Short REVIEW: Nature's Essence mini Gold Facial kit

Nature's Essence Gold Kit

Rs.175 with Rs75 worth Neem & Aloevera soap "free"

But if you ask me, nothing is for free these days. Why lie even? We all can see the "75" after that "100" ~rolls eyes~ but anyways, lets continue. 

This is kind of like DO IT YOURSELF facial at home kit. 

Its not my first time using this "Gold Kit" from nature's essence brand. This is, I am guessing... my 3rd time after a long time. Frankly speaking, this gold kit is nothing "special" facial so don't expect anything big out of it. Why I even bought it again in the first place, is because it gives me a "glow" kind of effect for 3-4days. Kind of like simple face cleaning. It is affordable as you can see by the price I have mentioned on top. I only tried their Gold and Chocolate and liked Gold more then the Chocolate facial kit of this brand. 

HAUL: KONAD nail art

This is going to be a short mini blog update. I needed those tiny clay flower thingies which you see Japanese girls wearing on their nails which looks so cute and scary at the same time XD. I was thinking to get these for a long time but I always postponed it. So now I finally did and here it is! Plus along with that I ordered nail polish removers and nail art stickers. I bought this all from my own pocket. 

KONAD is a Korean Brand. 

www.nailsandbeauty.in 

That's the Indian website from where you can buy it from. They do Cash On Delivery {C.O.D} too. 

Plus, I want to warn you guys about an Indian website. www.urbantouch.com sells KONAD nail art stamping too but they are selling it way too expensive. For example a KONAD nail art stamping plate in www.nailsandbeauty.in is for Rs.175 but www.urbandtouch.com is selling it for Rs.315. So, just be careful about it. But www.urbantouch.com is a great shopping website otherwise. Its just that KONAD nail plates is kind of over priced. That's all.
