Black Friday shopping

Image
Biggest sale of the year + awesome friend located abroad = drastic reduction in savings. Considering the byproduct is heaps of skincare that lasts at least an year, I have absolutely no complaints😉. I was going to wait until I receive the items, but couldn't resist. My friend had to shuffle the products to accommodate the space and she is kind enough to take some pictures in original packaging to be added in this post😍. Constellation box : Back in September I order a beauty box from Mac which was lost in the post ( that seems to happen often😏). It's even more annoying because my online banking got locked out and I couldn't check if the refund went through😣. So when this constellation box was released with almost similar products, my lovely friend ordered it for me😍. We forgot to take the picture of the contents - I might write another post once I received them. The price of this box is £39. Mac Shiny pretty things : We got more than a little stuck on Mac this time...

November Empties

And I thought October one is the longest 😅. This might be the longest list empties I had in a month, so long that I wrote this post in parts through the month - hence 2 pics 😄. 1. TBS Argan oil Soap: I probably got this one for free. After a streak of Shea range from TBS, I started with argon oil. I did not find it as moisturizing as Shea, however, the fragrance is quite great. Also, I don't have a very dry skin, so this range suits me very well. I started using Bottega Veneta body wash now and am quite excited about it. 2. Lush Vanishing cream: My friend got this one from Brussels. I didn't notice much of difference while using it, however, after it got over, I didn't start using Caudalie moisturizer as I wanted to start it along with serum and face wash in the kit. Immediately after stopped using Vanishing cream, dry patches around my nose started re-surfacing😒. Thankfully, they are contained with Caudalie, though not completely gone. 3. Rexona roll-on deo: I am...

Bandipur and Talakkad

Image
Few years ago, on the way to Ooty, we passed through Bandipur forest (I didn't know the name at that time) in the early hours, after a long drive, from Bangalore. The route from Bangalore to Ooty made us pass through the forest across 2 states. We are not allowed honk, use camera flashes or get down the vehicle across the forest, however Karnataka part of the forest allows vehicles to stop for a bit and take pics, while in Tamil Nadu part, we can only slow down without stopping (I think taking pics is also not allowed in this part). With sleepy eyes💤, I couldn't fully appreciate the wild elephants with tusks almost touching the ground, dancing peacocks deer herds in the early rays of sun. Since then, my plans to go to Bandipur kept getting postponed. Finally, couple of weeks ago on a Friday evening, when everyone in my family desperately wanted to go on a trip but don't have more than one day to spare, we decided to go to Bandipur. After a quick check on safari timings i...
