MSM Box - April 2016 Review

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to Beautyshaala!

Today we are going to share a review of MSM Express Box for the Month of March. 
The Express Subscription comes in a beautiful Pink Box and other versions MSM have different color themes. This time there are total five products and all of them are useful and worthy.

Let’s move on to have a look on each product in detail....

Natural Bath & Body – Bathing Bar 

This is a rose and almond bathing bar. It has a pleasant smell of fresh roses. It is made up of all-natural ingredients like: rose petals, Shea butter, coconut oil, olive oil, almond oil and walnuts. Though the quantity is not mentioned but it seems to be a full size product. It costs INR 175.

Biobloom – Face Mist

We've all heard of body mist but face mist is something new for me I guess.

It has a wonderful fragrance of jasmine so once you spray it on to your face you'll get a refreshing feeling. I think this is a much required product during summers especially while you are travelling. During summers, while we are travelling mostly the face gets too sticky and full of dust so the best solution is to gently spray face mist/spray on your face and wait for some time to get it absorbed and then clean your face using a tissue. It costs INR 250 for 50 ml of product.

 Inveda – BB Cream

This is a usual BB cream with SPF 20 in the shade - Fair. Before dispatching this month's MSM Box, MSM team called to ask the shade preference for BB Cream, so there it is. It has come in a small tube with beautiful packaging of bright orange color. Inveda is a skincare brand which claims to have products with natural ingredients in them. It costsINR 140 for 15 g of product.

Fuschia - Moisturiser

This is a small size bottle of cleansing moisturizer with rose and geranium extracts. The scent is amazing and after applying it, my skin felt much better. Fuschia makes hand-made skin care products which is the best thing about it. This is a nice sample pack which you can carry in your purse to anywhere. It costs INR 225 for 50 ml of product.

Roots - Makeup Brush

Well, luckily I've got pancake makeup brush which a useful tool to have in your vanity. This is a full length brush and has very soft bristles. For those who like to use large brushes for applying powder/concealer on their face, this brush is not going to help them but I find it useful for eye shadow application. It costs INR 90.

All the products are as always good and most importantly are usable. I like this subscription because of its affordability and good choice of products. 
We hope this review was helpful to you and do let us know what did you get in your MSM Express Box.

See you soon...

Lady Raga April 2016 Review

Hey Girls, 

Welcome back to Lady Raga April 2016 Subscription bag review.

Lady raga bag comes in a minimal amount to Rs 666 amazing high end products. 

It has 4 full sized products this month with a surprise gift making it worth for money subscription. 

Below pic depicts all the products being sent this month. Read the whole post to get more details...

Beautyshaala - Lady Raga April 2016 Bag

Lady Raga April Bag 2016

Beautyshaala - Lady Raga April 2016 Bag

Lady Raga team has sent a bright pink bag which has a main pocket and a side pocket. It's a good bag for keeping cosmetics. Personally I didn't like the bag much as its cloth is a bit too shimmery which is not my type, though it seems sturdy unlike other subscriptions.

Vertigo - Shower Gel

Beautyshaala - Vertigo shower Gel

Lady Raga has sent Vertigo Shower Gel, as a full sized product. Its 6 FL.oz and costs INR 1099.

This gel hydrates the skin very well, and you won't feel like applying any after bath lotion to your body. Its non-sticky and has a pleasant smell. Good for summers as its very light and suitable for all skin types.

Wet n wild - Orange-Red Lipstick

Beautyshaala - Wet n wild Orange-Red Lipstick

We have received the Wet n wild full sized lipstick from Lady Raga which costs INR 699. 

The shade of the lipstick is just superb. It's a reddish orange shade  with a slight shimmer in it. 

The packaging looks nice but the cap seems to be a bit flimsy. You can easily wear it on a bright summer day. Its a nice shade which goes well  with all skin tones and with all kind of dresses be it Indian or western.

Handcuff

Beautyshaala - Handcuff

Lady Raga has send a nice piece of jewelry - Handcuff, worth INR 575. I am very fond of junk jewelry and really like this one as it gives bold and beautiful look. Its golden in color and would go well with any western attire.

Adjustable Ring

Beautyshaala - Adjustable ring

This is a golden-crystal adjustable ring costs INR 449. It has a unique design and too is shiny.

Some people might like it, while I may it gift it to someone as I find it too gaudy to use.

Surprise Gift

Beautyshaala - surprise gift

Lady raga has sent a lip gloss as a surprise gift so as usual the price of the product is not mentioned. I have received a pink lip gloss. It is sparkling and very sticky. I tried putting it but couldn't resist even for a min. They should have tested the product before sending it. Very sticky product and too many shimmers in it.


Overall, Lady Raga has sent nice product of INR 2822 including the surprise gift, in only INR 666 per month.

I like most of this month's products as well as jewelry  (Handcuff). Awaiting for the next month's bag.

FAB BAG - March 2016 Review

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to Beautyshaala!

This is going to be a review of my March - FAB BAG.

This month they’ve sent a shimmery silver pouch with total six products inside it. Like last month, no choice option was given through email so everything was a surprise.

Beautyshaala - Fab Bag March 2016 Review

Let’s move on to have a look on each product:

Sugar Cosmetics – Vivid Lipstick:

Beautyshaala - Fab bag March 2016 -  Sugar Cosmetics – Vivid Lipstick

Beautyshaala - Fab bag March 2016 - Sugar Cosmetics – Vivid Lipstick

This is in shade ‘Big Bang Berry’ which is a dark berry shade with matte finish. The packaging is brilliant and quite unique as you can see in the pictures. There is proper locking mechanism while you twist the bullet up and down.

The staying power is decent but not too sure whether this shade would go with all skin tones as it’s too dark to wear. It costs INR 599 for 3.5 gm of product.

Wella Professionals – Elements Renewing Mask and Shampoo

Beautyshaala - Fab bag March 2016 - Wella Professionals – Elements Renewing Mask and Shampoo

This is a hair mask to renew the beauty and strength of your hair. The fragrance is so refreshing and amazing that you’ll love to smell your hair after using it. You should massage it into your hair (don’t waste it by applying on your scalp) and leave it for 5-10 minutes then rinse it thoroughly .It costs INR 200 for 30 ml.

The other one is a sulphate free shampoo to renew the moisture and preserve the strength of the hair. Like the Renewing mask, this shampoo also smells great and makes your hair really soft and smooth. It costs INR 175 for 30 ml.

Both the above products are samples but sufficient to try out and get the desired results. Wella Professionals is a well-known brand, so do not hesitate to try these products.

Ayorma – Daily Scrub and Ayorma – Facewash

Beautyshaala - Fab Bag 2016 March - Ayorma – Daily Scrub and Ayorma – Facewash 

These are the tiniest pack of samples I’ve ever seen. These just seem to be for one or two time use only. First one is fairness daily face scrub crafted from spa oils. The packaging says: “For a spa like experience at your home”. It costs INR 45 for 8 ml of product.

The other one is fairness and anti-tan face wash which is again made up of spa oils. It has a very strong herbal kind of fragrance. It costs INR 28 for 8ml of product. As I’ve told you these are very small samples so you can carry them even in the smallest of your purses or pouch.

All the above products claim to be Parabens free. For those who don't know, Parabens are used as preservatives in the cosmetic products. But unfortunately, they are said to have many side effects to our skin and health. 

Divo – Eyelash Curler

Beautyshaala - Fab Bag March 2016 - Divo – Eyelash Curler

This is something which every makeup lover already has and no one would like to have variety in such kind of products unless they often tend to lose things from their vanity. Its a usual eyelash curler with silicone rubber pad. So this is again a not so useful product from the bag and costs INR 125.

This was it in the March’s Fab bag. Not too impressive and they could have surely done a better job with the choice of products. Hope to get a better bunch of products in the April Fab Bag.

See you soon…..

FAB BAG - February 2016

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to Beautyshaala!

This is going to be a review of my February - FAB BAG.

This month they’ve sent a beautiful red pouch with five products inside it. This time we were not given any choice option through email so everything was a surprise.

Beautyshaala - Fab bag Feb Review 2016

Let’s move on to have a look on each product:

Hikari Cosmetics – Lip Crayon

Beautyshaala - Fab bag Feb 2016 review - Hikari Lip crayon

Beautyshaala - Fab bag Feb 2016 review - Hikari Lip crayon

This is a full size matte lip crayon in the shade ‘Duchess’. This is a very bold and deep berry colour. The application is smooth and unlike other matte lipsticks, it won’t dry out your lips. It lasted for about 3-4 hours, which is great. It is 2.5gm of product for INR 1000.

SeaSoul – Body Massage Candle

Beautyshaala - Fab bag Feb 2016 review - Sea soul Body Massage candle

This is a massage candle having Dead Sea minerals and vitamins to soften your skin. Now you must be thinking that how is it possible for a candle to affect your skin? Actually you need to light this candle and pour the melted oil on to the skin and continue massaging. The box says that spatula is provided but it’s not present anywhere. It is a full size product which costs INR 300 for 50 ml. This product is too luxurious to use and I think it would not be of too much use to most of the people.

Ayorma – Night Cream

Beautyshaala - Fab bag Feb 2016 review - Ayorma Night cream

This is fairness and cell renews night cream by Ayorma. Is has very soft and smooth texture, the quantity is not much but just about enough to try out and get the results. It costs INR 195 for 15 gm.

Just Herbs – Lip Balm

Beautyshaala - Fab bag Feb 2016 review - Just herbs Lip Balm

This is a pot lip balm of flavour ‘Coorgi Coffee’. This is an amazing lip balm with the true smell of coffee and also keeps my lips moisturised for a long time. Its best time to it use at night before you go to sleep. It costs INR 345 for 8gm.

Chamki – Nail Enamel

Beautyshaala - Fab bag Feb 2016 review - Chamki Nail enamel

This is nail enamel in a very nice metallic pink shade. The name of the brand is ‘chamki’ which means glittery but the nail paint is not at all glittery, in fact it is a quite decent shade which would go with any dress or occasion.

So guys, this was all in my February FAB BAG. We apologize for such a late review and we know that February’s bag is no more available but still just wanted to share the details about all the products so that you can use this review before buying them.

See you soon…..

MSM Box February 2016

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to Beautyshaala!

Today we are going to share a review of MSM Express Box for the Month of Love…February :)

This is one of the subscriptions which comes in a box and MSM Express always comes in a beautiful pink box. There are total 6 products in this month and one out of six is a bonus product which you get every time you book multiple subscriptions (3/6/12 months).

Let’s move on to have a look on each product:

Inatur – Daily Care Shampoo: 

This is a herbal brand and claims it is 100% vegan. The shampoo is for all hair types and can be used for daily purpose. It costs INR 110 for 110 ml. So if your planning to change your shampoo and want to experiment with something new, this could be a good option as it not that expensive.

Biobloom – Lip balm

This is a pot lip balm by Biobloom. It has a very strong minty fragrance and is really moisturizing.The quantity is 8 gm and costs INR 115. It is a refreshing lip balm and you can easily use it at night before sleep to keep your lips moisturized.

Essence - Lip Liner

This lips liner is in the shade ‘cute pink’. It is really smooth to apply on the lips. It will go with almost all shades of pink lipsticks so quite useful if you want to have defined and well-shaped lips. It costs INR 125 for 1 gm.

Page 3 -  Fat Lip Pencil

This looks like a lip crayon in shade ‘skinny’ which is a light pink shade with blue undertones. It’s a retractable lip crayon so you don’t need to sharpen it every time before use. The description says: “One swipe and you’re done! Apply it on lips, or cheeks or even your eyelid”, so it seems like a multipurpose crayon. The quantity is not mentioned anywhere, but the price specified is INR 450.

Kronokare -  Hair Conditioner

This is a small bottle of 6 ml hair conditioner which says: “Hydrate and Untangle”, which means it softens and untangles hair which basically is the job of every hair conditioner. Although Kronokare is a relatively new brand but their hair care products are really good to use, so this product is really a bonus. It contains natural extracts of orange, Bergamot & grapefruit and smells delicious. It costs INR 115 for this quantity of product.

Printed Scarf

This time they have sent a beautiful multi colored scarf, which is perfect for summers. It is a full length scarf with beautiful floral prints on it but sadly as you can see in the picture, the edges of the scarf are not finished. It costs INR 800, which is too much for a cotton scarf.

Overall, the Feb MSM Box was pretty good and all the products were useful. We hope you like this review and do let us know what have you received in your MSM Express Box.

See you soon...

Benefits of Orange

Beautyshaala - Orange benefits 

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to Beautyshaala!

Today, we are going to talk about lovely bright Oranges…So, let’s share with you all some awesome facts about oranges which you might want to know.

Healthy Skin:

We all have heard a common saying about apples…well here’s a new one: “An orange a day will keep you away from all skin problems”. Oranges contain Anti-Oxidants which prevents from ageing faster.

The human body naturally produces free radicals and the antioxidants to fight against their damaging effects. Unfortunately, these free radicals are much more than the natural antioxidants in most cases. So a continual supply of external sources of antioxidants is required by our body in order to maintain the balance, which the orange provides pretty well. 

Having an orange? Just don’t throw away the peel yet, it too has its own share of benefits for repairing your skin. You should put the peels to dry under the sun and once dried, make a powder out of it.

Beautyshaala - Orange benefits

The five major benefits of applying orange peel powder on your skin:

     

     1.      Fights against skin Ageing

     2.      Removes Scars / Marks

     3.      Tones Your Skin Up

     4.      Unclogs Skin Pores

     5.      Treats Pimples and Acne

Lose weight effortlessly

Oranges are very low in calories and rich in fibers which make you feel full for long. So…whenever you feel like having something between your meals, just have an orange and you’re done!

Preserve your beautiful smile and strengthen your bones

As we all know Calcium is good for our bones and teeth. But some might not know that orange juice contains enough amount of Calcium to treat your tooth decay problems and make your bones stronger.

(Vitamin C produces collagen, which is responsible in making of bones, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels and provides elasticity to the face)

Improve your Immunity:

Vitamin C present in Oranges increases the production of white Blood Cells which further improves immune system so that you can fight against diseases and stay healthy.

Healthy heart:

Fibers, Hesperidin and folate in Oranges keep your heart healthy. Consuming an orange a day will give you a healthy cardiovascular system.

Beauty with brains:

Folic acid present in Oranges helps in Brain growth development. So why not replace your morning tea/ coffee with fresh orange juice and activate all your brain cells to start the day.

Beautyshaala - Orange benefits

Fight against these diseases:

Cancer

A compound called D-linonene, usually found in Oranges and other citrus fruits, fights against various cancers like colon cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, breast cancer etc.

Arthritis

A glass of Orange juice a day can keep you free from the inflammation that usually arises from Arthritis. This anti-inflammatory property reduces the risks of Rheumatoid Arthritis.

High Blood Pressure:

Hesperidin and magnesium in Oranges help to control blood pressure effectively.

High Cholesterol:

Hesperidin and Pectin present in Oranges lowers bad cholesterol. It helps the body to slow down the absorption of fats.

Kidney Stones:

If oranges are consumed daily, then there is a lower risk of developing kidney stones.

Indigestion

The fibers that are present in high concentration in Oranges help you in digesting food easily. It helps in releasing digestive enzymes or juices which makes food digestion effective.
