Myntra.com- Clothes and Makeup! Haul and Review

You guys know me, I'm never shy of shopping online! Be it Indian or international, I'm always looking for new stores to throw my money at. ;) 

Myntra has recently become one such site! I was quite surprised that I have never ordered from them before this! Considering they are India's largest shopping websites, have so many awards under their belt for being an amazing e-commerce website and have quite an aggressive ad campaign! 

Oh well, better late than never, eh?

Just for the record, I was contacted by Myntra to do this review a long while ago but thanks to me being super busy and my computer dying on me out of the blue, I didn't get the chance. >.<

I'm glad they haven't freaked out at me yet! ;~;

*is very sorry*

When I logged into Myntra, the first thing I noticed was that the layout was very clean, young, fun and colourful! All the products were categorised really well, from brand, colour, price, gender and what kind of product it was. This made looking for products very easy!

Of course, I was skimming all the makeup products together, because that's the way I roll! Lol! But in the end found two products I liked, a lipstick and a nailpolish, into the bag they went!

Just for larks I thought I would get a top too, specially for summer! I'm a closet goth or something because most of my clothes are black, I found a mint green top and dropped that into the bag as well.

I completed filling in my details and then waited patiently for my package to arrive! 

Luckily this took only 3 days, which is pretty fast! ^_^

Here's how the package came:

Packed in a plastic bag with the logo of Myntra on it. I have two because they shipped them in two packages.

Inside one was my pretty green top, from the brand Style Quotient, a bit darker than what I had expected but still a purdy colour! ^w^

I was worried about fitting because I'm usually an L or an XL and sometimes even XXL *grumbles* but since Myntra had provided the size specifications perfectly on the site, it fit like a dream!

The little box, which is really pretty by the way had the makeup of course! It was wrapped up tight with bubble wrap!

Turns out, inside the box was a plastic box, separating and protecting both products! A very nice touch right?

The lipstick is Maybelline's SuperStay "Stay with me Coral", it's now OOS on there though. :( And the nail polish is Colorbar's "Riot Red" (love that name!)

I'm really happy with Myntra's service, the delivery was fast and sizing was perfect! I would like them to add more makeup products, rather more colour options to each makeup product! I would also have liked a shipping free option for an amount less than Rs.999. 

But overall, it was a great experience shopping with them and you can find some amazing clothes and accessories there! I would definitely recommend them! 

So what do you think about my haul? 

Have you shopped from Myntra before? What did you get? I would love to know!

Thanks for reading!

I was provided with a voucher by the company to shop with them. My opinion is honest and my own.

What's in My Mail Part One: A Little Bit of Everything Edition

I'm pretty sure all of you are ho-humming at ALL the sponsored review posts on here by now. I'm really sorry about that but I have soooo many things to get through and I want to get all the sponsored posts out of the way. Hope y'all understand. m( _ _)m

Anyway, I thought that I haven't done a haul or mail post for a very long time except whatever I announce on my Instagram, so here's a tiny one for you! It's only part one though, part two will come tomorrow, it will be AWESOME! >w<

So, this is some of the interesting stuff I had come in the mail last month, yes, that's how long it's been that I've done a damned mail post!!

First there's some makeup! Sleek's Eye Dusts in Tigress and Dirty.

Since Sleek has very cheap shipping now and accepts my debit card without problems, I don't feel compelled to make a BIG order in one go. So I decided I wanted to try the eye dusts and see whether they would be a good addition to my kit. So I ordered these two!

So far, they are really good, I especially love Tigress, it's a gold with a pink sheen and at 4GBP they're a steal!

Definitely going to get more! I'll do a detailed review soon! ^_^

Next, a couple of earrings I got from Youshine.com

Okay, I have to tell you, I am super impressed with Youshine, I will shop there more often now! :D 

I actually shopped there just because I got a coupon for 50 off by recharging my phone. My total bill was Rs 450 something and they had a free gift at Rs.500, I didn't bother to bring my total to that though.

Anyway, my package came the day after and inside was a pen with their logo and the free gift! >w<

Isn't that sweet?

It was just this little pouch which they labelled as worth Rs.500 *cough* NO *cough* but still! That's nice right? Will shop there again, they have really nice stuff! I love my spiky earrings! :D

Next was a little Myntra haul, partly sponsored by Myntra and I'll be doing a full review on them soon, so no products for you to see now, except that top I guess! MUAHAHAHA!

And for the finale of Part one, I give you this beautiful bag that I won in Bharti's giveaway! She's been waiting for me to put this up for so long! Lol! I'm surprised she hasn't come down to Bombay and murdered me already. XD 

I was originally supposed to get a different bag but it got sold out, but then I got to pick the one I wanted from ASOS! ;)

And this one looked so classy, I had to get her! She's so sophisticated! Lol!

This pretty bag reached me almost a month ago and still has her (yes the bag is a her!) tag on. Reason? I still haven't gotten the chance to take her out! ;n; 

My usual bags are all big and I carry them for casual outings, this one is all small and dainty, no bigger than 8 inches tall so I'm waiting for an occasion... Lol!

P.S. I should do a purse collection post one day, I have so many weird ones btw!

 So that's what's been in my mail! What's been in your mail recently?

Tomorrow, a HUGE post on Part two! ;)

Thanks for reading!

Last Year's Last Haul + This Year so far ^_^

Hello pretties! I've been a wanderer these past few days, mostly wandering through department stores and malls that is. I've had a lot of visitors and guests coming down to Bombay and my cousin especially new to the city wanted to shop! Bless her soul! Lol! Because of her my last week of December till today has consisted of nothing but acquiring stuff. Be it makeup, clothes or bags. I haven't included everything I bought, mostly the makeup! 

I am going to show you some exciting non-makeup purchases I made though! :D

First let me show you some of the awesome makeup I picked up last week!

Trying to get everything in frame. XD

So the first things I picked up were Jordana's powder blush in Cocoa, it's a very dark brownish plum, something I don't own at all! I also got one of their glitter polishes in Lunar Lights. This shade is so beautiful, I have to review it for you guys soon! The last thing from Jordana was their Color Tint Blush Stick in Coral Touch, it's such a pretty shade, my mom tells me it looks "wholesome" and that I look apple cheeked! >u<

Next were a whole bunch of NYX lip pencils. Okay, by a bunch I mean five. Hehe.. Still a lot of lip pencils right? The colours I got were Coral, Pinky, Auburn, Plum and Nude Pink. Yes, I plan on using each one!

Then I got a Maybelline Baby Lips Color Lip balm in Cherry Kiss. This was actually for my sister because she always wears lipbalm, never lipstick and sometimes they look really white and pale on her. >.<

Next up is MAC! I got their Viva Glam I. It's a very versatile brick red and my second Viva Glam after Nicki. I wanted to get So Chaud or Lady anger too! But Lady Danger was sold out and So Chaud looked like I had been chewing paan for a majority of my life. ;n;

That sucked because I LOVED the swatch of So Chaud! WHAIII?! x.x

Last up! *Gasps* A brush? Yup! I bought a QVS bronzer brush to do my powder with. It is amazingly good quality! Very soft and dense. ^w^

I also got a new phone on the last day of December and this cute Cambridge satchel from Jabong! :D

New phone means Instagram! Lol! Do follow! Just click the button in the right sidebar or go here!

Now for today's small haul:

I picked up The Body Shop's Strawberry Body Puree lotion! I loved the Satsuma version because it was really cooling but the smell was way too strong for me. But strawberry, I like. >w<

I also got a Revlon lip butter in Raspberry Pie, I'm still on the fence about these but meh, giving it another shot! I also picked up this smexxeh red lipstick called HOT HOT HOT! from the Colorbar counter. 

Damn straight it's hot... :P

Lastly, much food was bought! I got oyster mushrooms from Dolce Vita but sadly they aren't pictured because I had to dump them. They were INFESTED! Can you believe it??

But I'm still happy with my Pixy Stix! YAY PIXY STIX! I can't believe I found these! Loved them as a kid. *noms on all the pure sugar.*

I also got a pack of noodles from Nong Shim, it's a Korean brand, they have amazing noodles! Including all kinds of veggies, even seaweed!

And the last thing I wanna show you today is my hair! I changed it to red again but because it was pink before it looks more like a raspberry colour. I lurves it! 

Excuse the cellphone pics please! ;)

And the best bit for last, I'm pleased to announce I'm officially off braces! Most of them anyway. I have 4 teeth still bracketed and attached with rubber bands which I tend to swallow or have them whack the inside of my mouth BUT still happy to have a pretty smile! ♥

Yes my face looks huge here. So does everyone's when they mile like this ya know! Lol!

So that was a long post huh? Hope you liked what I picked up and my hair too! Let me know what you think of the stuff and what you would like me to review first! 

YUS I'MMA START MAH REVIEWS SOON! YAY!

Also don't forget to enter my giveaway! It ends on the 16th so hurry if you haven't already!

See you soon!

While I was Away: Shopping and Stuff in the Mail

Hello everyone! I'm back from my long visit to my parents in Chandigarh. Mumbai is so pleasant right now! It was down right freezing and dry in Chandigarh. My lips are still cracked and refuse to heal. O__o

I've missed blogging so much! And I have so many awesome reviews and tutorials for you guys!

My mum and dad bought me a new camera for my birthday! It isn't a DSLR but it is sooo much better than my Sony Cybershot (that did serve me well btw!) I hope the better picture quality helps you guys make better decisions about products! And it has good video too! So I can post clear videos on Youtube without anyone wondering if that dark blob is my head. >.<

Anyway, I got the Nikon L810, a bridge camera, exactly what I need! And my dad let me have his old tripod too!

Here's a lovely picture I took in the backyard: 

I'm still getting a hang of it but I'm loving it already! >w<

So, since I was away for Diwali, I missed awesome mail that came my way! And I just got my paws on it!

My sponsor KKCenterHk sent over new products to review! Wooohoo! I've been waiting a week to try these out! Especially the liner!

Cuicu Flashing Eyeshadow and LingMei Shiny eyeliner

I wanted to buy some Korean makeup as well, so I asked my mum to use her credit card. We were going to use Cosmetic Love or Two Face mall but ended up buying from KoreaDepart. Why? Because Paypal is a bitch, that's why! KoreaDepart had a payment gateway that wasn't Paypal so I could order stuff! I am thankful for that! ;n;

Anyway, even though KoreaDepart's shipping was steep because they use Speed post  their markup is low so the prices surprisingly were almost the same for Cosmetic Love and KoreaDepart! 

They sent me some good samples too! 

I'll do a review soon on KoreaDepart. ^_^

This stuff was waiting for me too! Here's what I got:

*Too much kayoot!*

The Precious Minerals BB cream is my sister's. I have one too which I will review tomorrow! I'll be able to show you some good swatches since I have 3 out of 4 shades! :D

The rest of the stuff is all MINE! Lol! 

Holika Holika Love Fantasy Blusher "Pink"

Etude House Shini Star Clear BB lotion

OMG cute overload! Tony Moly Cat Chu Wink lipstick "Peach Vanilla"

It's Skin and Innisfree nailpolishes! DAT GLITTER.

SAMPLES! :D

I have been wanting the Shini Star Clear BB lotion for a while now. Because SHINee.

Aren't they cute? I love them! Their music is some of my fave! So I had to buy this! Damn marketing!

I also picked up a bunch of makeup in Chandigarh! I was in a "Don't want to let go of summer corals" phase.. You'll see why... -__-

I picked up Revlon's Lip butter in Tutti Frutti, I want Peach Parfait next! 

I got their Colorburst lip gloss in Papaya because man, I have heard a LOT about it! >.< 

Colorbar True Gloss in Pink Stain, Maybelline Color Tattoo in Bad to the Bronze, 

Maybelline Baby Lips in Mango Pie 

and Revlon Top Speed Nail enamel in Peachy. I had also bought a lovely lavender shade but I think the maid in Chandigarh stole it. *sobs*

Phew! That's all I got so far for November, I'm content! No more!!

Did you guys have a fabulous Diwali too? Hope you enjoyed yourselves! 

Do let me know if there are any products you want me to swatch or review from my haul first! 

I have a LOT of work to do! Lol!

I'm so glad to be back!

♥♥♥

P.S. I see new followers! Thank you for your support even though my blog seemed dead! ^_^

Back from the Dead with a Haul and FOTD!

Hi everyone! My work is fnally done, you cannot imagine how happy I am! I can finally eat, sleep and blog! And wear makeup!! I was so tired I slept for 18 hours straight after I was done with work! Then yesterday, I went outdoors! :D OHMYGOD! YAY! 

Yup, I went outdoors! I went to Palladium to be exact, it was a spur of the moment thing and a nice place to go in the rain.. I.e. Absolutely empty! Haha!

I decided to reward myself and FINALLY after years of contemplation go into MAC. I thought I would pick up a lipstick, but all the shades I wanted were gone. -__- I ended up just buying the brush cleanser..

What a poopy first visit! Oh well, next time! The girls there were really nice, one of them even wanted me to do her hair colour LOL! I've never tried it on anyone but me, so I don't think I'll be complying. I'm too scared, I'll mess it up!

Another thing, I asked to get my shade matched and she said NC 42.. In the store, it looked fine but when my boyfriend saw it, and then my sister too, both their reaction were OMG! YELLOW! And my sister said it looked orange too.. And muddy! >.< So, I still don' know what my colour is! *sigh*
SOMEBODY GUESS PLEASE! LOL!

Then I went to Accessorize, because sale.
I wanted to pick up a few trinkets, no bags and things, I have too many now! >.>

I picked up this set of studs for my ears, I have 7 ear piercings in total and I need studs for them all the time!

I also picked up a couple of rings, there was a cute bow one but my fingers are too fat for it. T^T

I got these earrings for my sister, she loves tea! LOL!

That was probably my cutest haul ever! Hehe..

Now for my FOTD! I've changed my hair colour yet again! I also got new circle lenses! More on them later but this is what I looked like yesterday! My boyfriend thinks I've become paler.. i think it is the lack of sunlight! >.<

I'm wearing:

• Bourjois foundation 123 Perfect in 53 Light Beige
• Maybelline Dream Matte Compact "Honey"
• Bourjois Healthy Mix concealer "53"
• Revlon Colorstay eyeshadow quad "Coffee Bean"
• Maybelline mono shadow "Iced Fudge"
• Maybelline Colossal Kajal and Volum' mascara
• Colorbar lipstick "Bare" MLBB FOR THE WIN!
• NYX powder blush "Spice"

Hope you girls liked my haul and FOTD! Tell me please what MAC shade I should/ must be.. Just guess, for fun! ;) NC 42 was just not it!

Haul post: From Australia with Love ♥

Erk! I really have to start posting more often! I wish I could. >.< Just a little while more, my pretties! I promise I'll be back to *more* regular posting! And don't worry guys, I'll be choosing a winner for the giveaway soon! Just give me some time. ^-^

Yesterday was a good day for me, among the piles of illustrations to be done, there was a ray of hope! Three great things happened yesterday:

1. The circle lenses I ordered arrived in less than a week that too! Woohoo!
2. I won Vanity No Apologies' eye makeup contest with this entry! *happy dance*
3. And my aunt sent me over some awesome, AWESOME makeup stuff all the way from the land down under! 

I'll be showing you the lenses in another post, this post is going to be completely about the makeup I got from my maushi (Marathi for aunt. ^u^)

Heehee, I couldn't help myself!

I had asked her specifically for drugstore makeup, I wanted to see the different things you get there compared to here. :)

So here's what I got:

Maybelline Colorsensational Lipsticks: Coral Crush and Pinkalicious

Pinkalicious on left, Coral Crush on right

 Pinkalicious is a red-pink with shimmer, great for special occassions! I have zero number of shimmery lipsticks so i was happy to see this! :D
Coral Crush is a colour I have been eyeing for almost a year now! I kept waiting hoping they would release it in India but they never did. -__- so I asked my maushi to send it to me if it was available there. :)
It's a pretty pinky coral colour, no shimmer whatsoever.

These lipsticks were sealed like this. How come the ones here are not? :(

Garnier BB cream

Garnier BB cream in Light "02"

The Garnier BB cream was something that I wanted to try for a while too, espacially after trying the one by Maybelline, I was quite eager to try this! I looked up swatches and the Medium shade seemed very dark so I asked for Light, luckily this shade blends into my skin just right!

So those were the three things I had asked for buuuut.. My aunt went beyond the list and sent over a bunch of other goodies too! ♥

Maybelline XXL Pro Extensions Mascara

 I love Maybelline mascaras! This is one of those duo ones that make your lashes look crazy huge! Only drawback is that it isn't waterproof so I can't use it in the rain now. :<

Revlon Colorstay eyeshadow quad "Coffee Bean"

 I have seen this eyeshadow quad before but not in this colour. Can't wait to try it. :) Looks like a less shimmery version of Chai Latte by Maybelline.

KATE Gradical Eyes in Golden

 Ooooh! I'm so excited about this quad! It has shimmery shades of gold and even an eyebase! I've been wanting to try Asian cosmetic for a long time so I'm happy I get to try something from Kanebo, which is well known Japanese brand! :D

The brush that comes with it is actually amazing! It has a sponge on the other end.

Le gradient

Maybelline eyestudio mono eyeshadow "Iced fudge"

I'm never going to have to buy neutral colours for a long long time! :D

Now for the grand finale!
NAILPOLISH! :D She got me TEN Ulta3 polishes! *happy tears* They're so pretty!
Ulta3 is a great drugstore brand down there btw..

Frosty: Freesia and Tropez

Reds: Scarlet ♥ and Pepper Pot

Summer colours: Tahitian Lime and Tahiti (my instant faves!)

Purples/ Pinks and Blue: Mulberry, Purple Passion, Hot Spring and Hollywood

 Look at what happened to my Hot Spring shade though! ;A;

The case of the missing nail polish brush, it's actually missing! LOL!

Sucks! It was such a pretty colour too! X( 

That was my "From Australia with Love" haul! :D I can't wait to try out everything! I think I'll try the polishes first. :D

Have you been pining for a makeup product because it wasn't available in your country? Tell me what it was and if you managed to finally get it! :D
See you soon! ♥
