June Favorites : Beauty and Random

OMG!!! This year is just fleeting by so quickly and it's already mid-year! July the most dreaded month for me is here!!! I have to submit my dissertation this month and it scares the hell out of me. Anyways listed below is my favorites for June.

Beauty


Maybelline Color Tattoo: Edgy Emerald



I freaking love this color :) mint with a hint (lol how it rhymes) of gold. I just feel this is the 'it' color for my eyes this summer hehe..



The Body Shop: Strawberry Body Mist



I adore the smell of this mist. Just have two words for this: Sugary Sweet. The fragrance is pretty lasting. Iv'e been using this practically every day and it's almost over :( I will definitely buy this again.


Vlcc Strawberry & Waterlily Peel-Off Mask



This is the first peel-off mask I've ever used and i love it. It did wonders to my skin and it made my skin glow :) This particular mask is for removing blemishes, to firm and revitalize skin and this one's for normal to dry skin.


The Body Shop Concealer Pencil in 03



I had bought this a few months back and it was lying abandoned in my vanity till the day i decided to give it a try. This baby is perfect for concealing spots and blemishes. It does a wonderful job on me. The formula is kind of dry but i prefer this because it suits me fine in this hot humid Kolkata weather.


Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Sweetheart Valentine and Cherish Devotion



These two were the only lippies i used this June and so had to include it in my favorites. SV is the fuchsia pink one and CD is the lilac pink one. They both are such happy, pretty colors and the texture of these are amazing. Glossy, Pigmented and gives a minty sensation when applied on lips.


Random

Shower to Shower Prickly Heat Powder in Cologne



My saviour for summers. Kolkata is so hot and humid that it gives me ugly prickly heat rashes. This powder is the only thing that helps me keep those ugly rashes at bay.

Silver Earring



I kind of stole this from my mom's collection *evil grin*. I love the unique design of this dangler. I feel it makes quiet a statement when i tie my hair up in a bun and wear these :)


Britannia Nutri Choice Ragi Nutri Bix



My favorite munchies for June hehe.. healthy and tasty :)

That's it for my this months favorite. Hope you guys enjoyed reading.

The Body Shop Haul and NOTD

This is my first post from home sweet home. The electricity department sucks out here. Imagine we had no electricity for like three days continuously! I am just happy the internet connection is not that bad. Last Saturday my family and me went to Siliguri which is about three hours from here and guess what Siliguri finally has The Body Shop store in Cosmos Mall. My happiness knew no bound and i shopped like crazy. The store had more products than the one in South City mall, Kolkata. Anyways, so here's what i bought.. :]

TADA!!!! The biiiig bag :]


Yummy goodies inside :]



Winter must have :]  Shea Shower Cream, Shea Lip Butter, Shea Body Butter and Shea Body Mist



Cocoa Butter Creamy Body Wash



Vanilla Body Mist




My Dad had gifted me LOVE ETC.. SUN KISS limited edition edt in July and i have hardly used it so picked up this Body Puree from the same range to compliment my edt.



I have never used any Primer or base as such with my make-up so picked this Skin Primer Moisturise to give it a try.



Since i am a sucker for any baked make-up product i got this baked cheek color in the shade 01 Petal.




And then ofcourse i asked the SA for samples and he was kind enough to give me these samples..the newly launched Rainforest Coconut Hair Oil and Moisturise White Shiso Whitening Serum



That's it for my happy to be home haul hehe :] and now for NOTD

I'm wearing the new shade Turquoise Blue from Revlon. It is such a pretty shade of blue and the moment i saw it it reminded me of youtuber Jennim and the lovely nailpaint she had in one of her videos.


Hope you guys liked this post and do give me your feedback. Happy Puja's to all of you... muahhh :*

Favorite Six for Luscious Lips


Here are the top six lip products that i swear by for my chapped and dry lips. Hope you guys like it.



Spiced Vanilla lip balm from The Body Shop. 




This pretty lip balm comes in a cute tin box. It reminds me of Christmas cake. It smells of vanilla and cinnamon. The lip balm perfectly soothes and nourishes my chapped lips and i prefer using this at night before going to bed. The only thing i don't like about this is the fact that it makes my lips look kinda whitish colour because of the the tint it leaves behind. Price: Rs 340



Maybelline New York Baby Lips



The cutest and the yummiest thing ever!!! God knows how long I waited for it to launch here in India.. Now that it is here I can't stop pampering my lips with these babies. Till now i own these three i.e Mango Pie, Anti-oxidant Berry and Cherry Kiss. The first two are sheer with no tint and just leaves behind a gorgeous sheen in my lips. the smell is yummy and out of the world. Cherry kiss leaves a tinge of red tint on the lips and it makes the lip look super moist and kissable :]. The only thing i am unhappy about these products is that i don't like the packaging of the Baby Lips Color, i just wish it was more colourful and vibrant like the ones in abroad. But nevertheless i love these babies and will be getting Pink Lolita and Coral Flush soon. Price: Rs 125 for Care Range and Rs 150 for Color Range


Cocoa Butter Lip Care Stick from The Body Shop




I picked this lip balm a few weeks back and instantly it has become one of my favourites. The smell and taste of this product is so yummy that i keep licking it off my lips :D. The moisturizing capacity of this lip balm is amazing and it makes my lips supple and soft. Price: Rs 245


Lipice Lipbalm in Blueberry



The first time i ever heard of this company was when i use to watch MTV Splitsvilla 5 and the company was one of the sponsors. Back then it didn't appeal to me much but when i saw loads of reviews about this product in other beauty blogs i had to get it!.  I love this lip balm for the fact that it does not leave behind a thick layer of gooey substance in my lips like most lip balms do. It may sound funny when i say this but you see Kolkata sucks for it's hot and humid weather and obviously i don't like having overly sticky substance in my lips on such days when i am sweating in excess. Hence, Lipice is perfect for such days and moreover this lipbalm contains Mentholatum and cools and soothes my lips. It also has a yummy blueberry smell. It contains SPF 15. Price: Rs 120



Born Lippy from The Body Shop





Currently i own two of these Born Lippy's. They are Satsuma Shimmer and Cool Mint. I don't know if TBS still manufactures the cool mint one in present times and if it is available in India. My mom got me this from Nepal. Coming to the products, i only love these lip balms for the overpowering smell and also for the shimmering tint it leaves in my lips. i apply this sometimes over matte lipsticks and most of the time i use it during days when i am extremely lazy to wear makeup. you know the kind of days when you just feel like wearing your glasses and a lip tint with your hair tied in high pony at the back. The only thing i don't like of this product is that i have to dig into the product and my fingers gets kind of sticky. Price : Rs 195





Rev Ayur Lip Sliders




I purchased these from www.urbantouch.com.The first thing that drew me to these lip balm were it's cute packaging and also the flavors, green apple and coconut. I am a sucker for anything that smells like coconut even though i don't like eating coconut ..wierd hahahaha. I can't say i am the biggest fan of these lip balm but still it is good enough for the price i got it in. The only thing that bothers me much about this lip balm is on the cover it states that it is a tinted lip balm but when i wear it i get no tint on my lips! Price: Rs 80 got it for Rs 72

Phew!!! i am tired now writing so much :p i am gonna get back to cleaning my apartment since i will be leaving for home sweet home on 13th of october. So much to do so little time. Hope you guys enjoyed reading this muahhhhh xoxo
