BeautyWish Holiday Primp Box Review

2 Comments

Hi guys!

Today, I’m reviewing two of the six products that I received in my Holiday Primp BeautyWish Box for May. The Cool Cucumber Face Wash (20ml) from Aquaspark and the Red & Green Tea Sun Screen Lotion (20ml) from Starrize. 🙂

IMG_20150603_153351860

First, the Face Wash. You only need a small amount. The consistency is not too thick or too runny. I like the balanced consistency! It has a hydrating cucumber smell that I found very refreshing!

IMG_20150603_153022401

It washed right off without much hassle. My face felt very fresh and my skin seemed supple and hydrated. This face wash will suit all skin types! This will be great specially for people with acne problems and oily skin (like me) 😀IMG_20150603_153911491

Next is the Sun Screen Lotion. The consistency is thicker than the face wash but not too much. I found this lotion a little sticky.

Upon application, this lotion felt a little heavy on my skin. I have oily skin, so this is definitely not a good choice for me 😦

This sun screen is good for dry to normal skin 🙂

So what do you think? Will you be purchasing these products? 🙂

I hope you liked the review and found it helpful! Stay tuned for the reviews of Sunflower Body Wash, Lemon Peel Body Lotion , Hibiscus Anti-Dandruff Hair Cleanser and Vitamin Hair Conditioner.

Love from Shruti ❤

BeautyWish May Box – Holiday Primp!

Leave a comment

Hey guys! ^^’

Today I’ll be giving you the details of this month’s BeautyWish Box by The Nature’s Co. I thought my Monday will be a boring one, as I sat with my bowl of cereal. But soon, I was surprised by this box! The May box is the Holiday Primp box, and comes in a super cute travel bag! I got a pink one 🙂

BeautyWish

It is quite spacious for a travel pouch, with four little pockets AND an elastic band for holding your gloss, makeup brushes, lipsticks etc. It also has a little vanity mirror inside!

Upon unzipping the bag, I found that there were products individually bubble wrapped to prevent leakage. I really appreciate this thoughtfulness and efficiency, especially cuz one of the products had leaked a little but didn’t make a mess! 😀

IMG_20150601_135746456 IMG_20150601_140051087

In all, there were SIX products. Let me list them for you 🙂

IMG_20150601_142142018 IMG_20150601_142324907

For pampering my face, I received Cool Cucumber Face Wash (20ml) from Aquaspark. It has such a hydrating cucumber smell! Next is the Red and Green Tea Sun Screen Lotion (20ml) from Starrize. This lotion has a very mild fragrance.

For my body, I got the Sunflower Body Wash (250ml) from Starrize. It has a mild floral scent that I’m really liking! Next is the Lemon Peel Body Lotion (30ml), also from Starrize. It has a very refreshing, bitter lemon peel fragrance 😀

IMG_20150601_184737257

For my hair, I have got the Hibiscus Anti-Dandruff Hair Cleanser / Shampoo (30ml) and the Vitamin Hair Conditioner (30ml), both from Foressence. The shampoo has a very herbal, slightly hibiscus-y smell, and the conditioner has a mild, pleasant smell.

And the last thing, a 35% discount coupon! This can be used for purchasing the full sizes of the products that I received in the box! 😀

So these were the items in my BeautyWish box. Hope you liked them as much as I do! A detailed post with reviews of these products will be up soon, as I use them throughout the week! 😀

Not Just Beauty

Hello dear readers 🙂

Last time, I shared my makeover with you. Today, I want to share an amazing life-changing beauty product with you.

Some of us have skin problems like vitiligo / leucoderma, acne scars, big birth marks, tattoos or even dark circles that we would like to conceal. What if I told you that I have the solution to your problems? SCX-3200_20150526_13185101 - Copy creme The star of the range is the Dermacolor Camouflage Creme above. The creme works as an amazing concealer and gives great coverage. You can opt for light, medium to full coverage, fully dependent on how YOU use it 😀 IMG_20150528_185428096 After applying the crème, pat it with the Dermacolor Fixing Powder. After the powder, use the Fixing Spray. See the results for yourself! SCX-3200_20150526_13185101 NO Photoshop was used on this picture. Can you believe it? 😮 Dermacolor is THAT GOOD!

There is a huge range of shades available in Derma and suits all skin types from oily to dry – you can easily find your match. This is also a unisex product 🙂

Besides concealing serious imperfections, Derma can be used for everyday makeup as well. Speaking from my makeover experience, I felt that the products were quite light on my skin and felt wearable for every day. derma_chart Also, this range is great value for money. The formula is waterproof and UV shielding, and Kryolan gives good quantity for reasonable price.  For example, the creme costs 350 INR for 4ml and 1500 INR for 15ml. The fixing powder costs just 400 INR for 20g. These will easily last for months!

I must say, Kryolan has impressed me. They produce professional makeup not only for the camera, but also for regular people like me and you ^^’

You can get Dermacolor products at Kryolan City, Shop # 2, Silver Pearl Building, Waterfield Road, Bandra (West), Mumbai (022-26551713).

ALSO, stay tuned for upcoming Giveaways! I will be giving away a Dermacolor fixing powder along with other goodies! Love from Shruti ❤

Cuffs for All Seasons!

Leave a comment

Hello dear readers! 🙂

I want to share my recent purchase with you. I’m so happy with these!

IMG_20150522_231524

GOLD WRIST CUFFS!

I took a geometric one (top), and a twirly, intricate one (down). These cuffs are SO versatile! You can pair them up with literally anything and everything! Maxi dress, crop top, high rise skirt, skater skirt, palazzo pants and more! Just pop a cuff on, and your wrist game amps up instantly 😉

Awesome, right? 😎

What I LOVE about these cuffs is that they don’t have a saturated gold colour. They’re almost a mix of gold and rose gold, which gives them a delicate gold colour.

So what do you think? Do you like cuffs? Would you like to try wearing them? ❤

Top Grossing Movies of Last 6 Decades

Leave a comment

Hello people!

Today I bring you, the highest grossing Bollywood movies of the last six decades. I’m sure you know about most of them already! 😀

  1. 2001-10 – 3 Idiots (2009)

Earnings: 202 crore INR

At Current Rupee Value (CRV): 280.78 crore INR

All izz well with 3 Idiots. This movie talks about the pressure faced by students in their endeavours to live up to parents’ expectations. No wonder this movie had a huge following in populous countries like China (Yes, I asked strangers on Omegle 😛 ) and India where getting into a reputed engineering college parallels Nirvana!

  1. 1991-2000 – Hum Aapke Hain Koun (1994)

Earnings: 69.75 crore INR

At CRV: 229.47 crore INR

The Salman Khan, before he started kicking villains into the stratosphere, was a family guy.  This movie had a big, happy family, lots of sanskar, and you guessed it right, Alok Nath! In fact, this movie was a handbook to Indian family, marriage and traditions 😉

  1. 1981-90 – Maine Pyar Kiya (1989)

Earnings: 14 crore INR

At CRV: 73.92 crore INR

This decade was perhaps the dry era of Bollywood. Amitabh Bachchan’s star was fading and no other superstar was in sight. That’s when Sooraj Barjatya gave us this movie with the right doses of dosti, pyaar, sanskaar and Alok Nath!

Ps. let’s not forget Salman’s dancing skills 😉

  1. 1971-80 – Sholay (1975)

Earnings: 15 crore INR

At CRV: 193.35 crore INR

Two conmen (best friends Jai and Viru), summoned by a self-righteous former cop to kill a notorious dacoit. This was the epic Sholay. With a stellar cast, this is probably the only movie where the side characters became just as famous. Samba, Kalia, Thakur and Dhanno (yes!) are legends today.

  1. 1961-70 – Sangam (1964)

Earnings: 4 crore INR

At CRV: 156.6 crore INR

You may not have heard about this movie, but Sangam was the big daddy of love triangles, made by the big daddy of Indian cinema, Raj Kapoor. Foreign locations, romance, huge budget and a long running time – it all began with Sangam!

  1. 1951-60 – Mughal-E-Azam (1960)

Earnings: 5.5 crore INR

At CRV: 253.5 crore INR

Although apparently historically inaccurate, Mughal-e-azam was the most opulent, extravagant and larger-than-life movie ever created. Such was the scale that it took 16 years to be made. Here’s a gif to sum up the movie the best.

Akbar was pissed and Anarkali couldn’t care less 😉

All gifs have been made by me using gifyoutube 🙂
