Premium Laundry Services Are Here!

Hello, my dear readers!

How many of you are fussy about your laundry like me? ๐Ÿ˜›

I always prefer washing my clothes by hand, with a gentle liquid detergent. I don’t even trust washing machines to do the job well! But with a hectic job, it’s tough to always find time for the chore; my clothes end up piling up ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

Recently, I learnt about aย new laundry service called Mink.

I received the offer to get any three items laundered by Mink in exchange for an honest review. I am excited to share my experience with you guys ๐Ÿ˜€

So, I sent across an AND dress, a prized sari (raw silk with zari work) of mine and a precious rug which had gotten stained. I forgot to take pictures of the dress and sari before I sent it to the Mink team butย I remembered to click the carpet ๐Ÿ˜›

Look at that patch on top, off-centre. I wanted this cleaned so I could store it properly, but I couldn’t figure out where or when to get it cleaned. Mink’s timing couldn’t have been better! ๐Ÿ˜€

So, the process began. The pickup was quite smooth and efficient. An executive from Mink collected my items and gave me a receipt.IMG_20151016_212057943

After 3 days – which I felt was a long wait – I received a call informing me that my stuff was ready to be delivered. The coordination was very efficient! I got held up at work and the Mink executive was gracious enough to delay his visit for my convenience ๐Ÿ™‚

I was pleasantly surprised whenย I received my laundered stuff neatly folded and presented in Mink’s branded packaging โค

I’ll just sum up by saying that these premium laundry services seem like a boon. There are many other like me, who are very particular about their clothes but are not able to give it time. With Mink’s efficient pickup-and-drop facility and smooth communication, we can goodbye to our laundry hassles! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

You can check out the prices and more details on their website.

The fixing powder is great as aย loose powder for matte effect. It contains silicon which makes it waterproof and prevents oiliness!

As for the lip gloss, it is very moisturising and is called the High Gloss. I think the name says it all ๐Ÿ˜‰
