More products from Brussels

Image
My shopping buddy recently came from Brussels and got me few more products 😍, so thought of continuing my earlier post . Most of them are from Lush - because of their low shelf life, she got them just before her journey 😊. Europe isn’t exactly the best place to buy lush products as they are priced higher than in UK or Australia. However, since I don’t have options, I picked few things I badly wanted. 1. Fresh pharmacy: My favourites are herbalism and angels on bare skin, but I like this one too. Moreover it comes with higher shelf life and I finally got the lush tin. BTW the tin is not priced higher in Belgium 🤔. 2. Birth of Venus Jelly face mask: jelly face masks are new addition of Lush. Though  nothing comes close to fresh face masks of Lush, this is quite decent replacement and, of course, with higher shelf life. It’s bit tricky to apply and I didn’t get it right the first time. But after watching couple of videos, I could easily apply. It gives almost same squeaky ...

Essence nail polishes

Recently, on a Sunday evening, I sat with my nail files, buff and the almond cuticle oil from TBS . After pampering my hands and nails a bit, I applied the nail polish from Essence. I don't know if it is because of the other products, but I noticed that the polish stayed quite almost for a week without chipping. I always kind of ignored Essence nail polish - even though I quite liked their collection of colors and the gel finish, my love for Essie overshadowed Essence. It's not a fair comparison, considering the huge price difference. However, the fact that I even thought of them together says something about the quality of Essence polishes🤓. As the number of bottles from Essence increased in my stash, I thought of writing about them. The gel polishes : 48 my love diary: This is my first nail polish from Essence (actually second, but I gave the first one to my teammate). I got it around the same time I bought my first Essie polish. The color is quite good and the gel ...

February empties

I thought of combining Feb and Mar empties as the products, I thought I would use up, still got enough content for few more uses. It would have been disappointing, considering that I finished up a lipstick and am super excited to write about it 😁. Then, in the last week of Feb, few other products got emptied unexpectedly 💃 and I get to write this post. 1. Bobbi Brown lipstick in soft rose: there are very few things which makes me feel excited and finishing up a lipstick is slowly but surely making it to the list. I'm extra glad because I am not super impressed with this lippy, which was sad as I waited like forever to get a lipstick from Bobbi Brown. When they finally launched in India, only one store was opened in Delhi - it only made me extra frustrated, so close yet far enough to be unreachable😥. So​ when my friend was visiting Delhi, this is the only thing I asked for. I normally don't buy lipsticks without trying them out, but I couldn't pass up on this opport...
