Hello girls, last 2-3 months I was facing  skin problems- pimples & allergy and to top it all I got bed ridden due to Cervical Spondilitis. Those were the worst days of my life as far as I can remember. And to forget those ugly memories I have been shopping a lot :P.Today I have 3 hauls I made during the months of November & December.



Fist lets come to the Lakme Haul :-

This mousse foundation is a repurchase, its so light & I can't stop telling you how much I love it. Igot it in the shade 03 Golden Medium. The price has increased to Rs 599, it was Rs 550 earlier.

Another repurchase, I dropped by mistake and it was finished :( I like using it over my moisturizer, gives a subtle glow. The price is Rs 595, I think it has increased as well. Correct me if I am wrong. I got in my old shade Golden Medium.

After loving the shade Day Sheer from this range, I laid my hands on Night Sheen. A lovely shade, perfect for us Indians, it has very finely grilled shimmer which is not much obvious after application. I bought the first one for Rs 550 and its still Rs 550. No price rise here.

This lipstick shade is 128 from the Lakme Satin Enrich Range. This ones price is Rs 225.

I got a cute jewellery bag & a small trousseau box with these purchases. Forgot to take pics, so kindly bear with me.

Also along with the Lakme Haul I got a Parachute Body Lotion for extra dry skin as a friend has requested for the review. I got it on offer, a Parachute Hot Oil free with the lotion. Its price is Rs 59 for 100 ml.

How do a lip balm addict not purchase a new Lip Balm and that too for only 25 bucks!!!




Now comes my regular Oriflame Haul

I wanted a creamy cleansing milk for the winters as my skin becomes combination type but till now it hasn't. Anyways the Oriflame consultant told me that though its mentioned Dry/Sensitive Skin on the bottle, it works very well or combination type skin as well. It is on discount right now at Rs 379 but its original price is Rs 449.

I am in love with loose powder, its a new launch from the Studio Artist Range. Its original price is Rs 599 but right now its on discount for Rs 399.

Another new launch of Oriflame, Very Me Cherry My Cheeks Blushers. I bought both at Rs 198 each, but its original price is 329 each. The shades are named Pretty Pink & Sweet Coral, it came broken :'(

I never gave much importance to these Very Me Eyeshadows until my cousin came to visit me and I loved this duo for the pretty colors. These were on discount for Rs 149 but their original price is Rs 249

This black liner has always been out of stock whenever I ordered it. This time its Rs 165, but the real price is Rs 279

And the much raved about lip spa was at a discount of Rs 179, its real price is Rs 229

Also I got a dual ended eyeshadow brush free with my order, thanks to the consultant. Sorry forgot to take the pic.



Now at last the Revlon Haul.

This primer is always out of stock in ol shopping sites so I grabbed it as soon as a saw it in the Revlon store. Its price is Rs 1200.

I have the one in peach and I am so loving it that I couldn't resist getting 2 more in the shades- Pink Truffle & Apple Candy at Rs 610 each

I love Super Lustrous Lipsticks from Revlon so one more pretty shade in my collection, Mad About Mauve. Right now these are on discount, Rs 400 instead of Rs 550

No haul is complete without nail paints, this is a new shade 468 Orchid Pink. The price is Rs 140

This is at discount Rs 70, the shade is Pink Petutti and I was on the lookout for a similar shade es. This works great as a base.



That's all for now, shortly coming up with the swatches. That was my humble haul over a period of 2 months. I received lots of gifts with these purchases. Thank you and have a nice time ahead.

My Opinion: - All of us know the need of body lotions in the cold dry months, and it was in February that I received Parachute Advansed Body Lotions- Dry Skin Intense Care & All Season Gentle Care. Immediately I started using the Dry Skin Intense Care Lotion as my limbs turn very dry in the winters. And upon the very first application, I was so happy as my skin absorbed the lotion and looked so normal :P No I am not kidding, really it made that much of a difference. So in short if I have to review this lotion, it is amazing :D

                   This white body lotion is thick in consistency, somewhere in between a cream and a lotion. It’s very creamy but not greasy at all. It gives heavy moisturization but feels light on the skin. But the fragrance is not up to my liking, it is herbal scented but nothing like coconut or coconut oil. Girls with sensitive noses stay away or take a whiff before investing in this lotion. The packaging is unique and so beautiful, the mint colored bottle looks like the torso of a curvaceous woman. It comes with a flip open lid which clicks shuts tight; hence it’s perfect for traveling.

                    I had applied this lotion twice daily from the day I received it in Feb till a few days back when I finished it. It made my skin soft and smooth; also this lotion gave relief from dryness to quite an extent. It moisturized my skin well and gave my arms & legs and my full body much needed nourishment. A few pumps are all that is needed to apply all over arms, legs & body. It gets absorbed very quickly and spreads easily, which saves time for rubbing/massaging the lotion into the skin. This lotion is not greasy and sticky and that’s the reason I loved it so much. The only problem I had with this lotion is that it does not contain SPF, so I have to slather on an additional sunscreen. Also it needs to be reapplied every 3 hours in my case.

Pros: -

• Spreads easily & gets absorbed quickly, so I don’t have to waste 10-15 mins
• Highly moisturizing, cared well for my dry legs & arms
• A little goes a long way as not much product is required for each use
• Very affordable at Rs 99 for 250 ml
• Interesting packaging, bottle shape is similar to the torso of a woman and its travel friendly as well
• Non-sticky & non-greasy

Cons:-

• Fragrance is not good, I personally didn’t like it
• Does not contain SPF
• Contains Parabens and Carbomer
• Don’t think it will work on very dry, parched & flaky skin

                                 I rate this Parachute Advansed Body Lotion for Dry Skin 4.25 out of 5, minus 0.75 for the cons. It’s a must buy for people with dry winter skin, I shall buy another one in the next winters but for now my limbs have turned normal with the advent of summer, so I am using Parachute Advansed Body Lotion for All Season since 10-15 days or more. Shall come up with the review very soon. Till then hope you enjoyed reading this post and leave behind your lovely comments. Thank you and do have a good day ahead.
