What's In My Handbag/Purse???

4.2.13 31 Comments
I got introduced to the world of YouTube via this video only...flash forward to many years..and I'm still obsessed with What's In My Bag? blog posts and videos. As per the unsaid rule people are generally tagged to do this post,but I'm doing it out of my sheer love of it. We women love being inquisitive and nosy when it comes to knowing what our other counter part is having in her hand bag/purse..So jet set and welcome to the world inside my Handbag:
Note: I have made things a little tidy inside my handbag,I'm sure candy wrappers,old bills and loose tissues wouldn't have amused you much :P
Over to the contents now:
1.The Handbag: 
My handbag wears no designer tags,I got this from a purse shop in delhi only at a very decent price! Now I'm not a handbag loyalist I change them as often as I change my clothes and now that it was winters,I got so board seeing blacks,browns and blues everywhere that I decided to throw in some colour with this coralish hot pink handbag. Here's a pic below :
I personally am not a big fan of small handbags simply because I do have to carry a lot of stuff most of which is common and would be there in all your bags too plus I'm a mom and at times I also have to carry a toy car or too for my boy :P (yes he wants it everywhere..in the car..mall..restaurant..even in the washrooms..he drags them on the basin platform ;)

2. Money Wallet:
Nothing fancy about this,its a regular dark chocolate brown leather wallet which has my cash,coupons,cards,ids and stuff. Though I loved another Hannah Montana wallet of mine very much (You can see it here) but I hate when the cash cannot come in straight in the slots and has to be folded..On those lines..this works perfect)
 3. Phillips MP3 Player and Earphones: I don't remember its model number but this one has an awesome battery backup. If fully charge it once..you can be relaxed for a month with an hour of usage daily. I use the smallest clutcher clip to hold my earphones in place. NAd both these stuffs sit pretty in a leather keychain coin purse :)

4. Makeup Bag: I am not really a *often touch up my makeup person* A comb and a lipstick and I'm good to go. Still I love carrying some powder my nose kinda stuff,that never really comes out. So I keep stuffs in the bag that I don't really require in my stash much. I can do a full review on this sometime soon.

5. Extendable Shopping bag: This one's a must carry stuff for me. Someone got me this from Australia but I've come across similar stuff on Fashion and You. It takes very little space but once open it carries a lot of stuff (very spacious). You never know when you spot your favorite footwears or maybe another handbag and you are scared carrying too many bags will make you loose one...Carry this and you'll be sorted!

6. My Leopard Print Wayfarer Shades: Uhhh..I'm not even a sunglasses loyalist..I like changing them often..and these are the ones I'm wearing these days. Lov'em!!! And this is how they look on me:
Yup that's my son :)

7. Spectacles: My eyes..need them!

8. A Notebook and a Pen: I have an OCD of writing..From a poem in English or Hindi or even Urdu to a to-do-list..to even the grocery list. I write..write ..write!
9. TBS Body Butter in Moringa: I love the smell and texture and I'm dry skinned..Its my hand cream/body lotion/moisturiser (on the go)/baby lotion(for my DS's dry hands,knees,elbows)!!!
You can see its full review here.

10. Garnier Skin Natural Pure Active Pore Unclogging Wash: When I bought this I had no idea as to what I'm gonna do with this..but now I've found a use..its my handwash on the go (remember I'm a Mom,I've to wash hands often :P)
You can see its full review here

11. Water bottle: Any random small size water bottle..Kiddo wants it all the time!
I did not label the items in this pic..for numbers refer the above picture
12. Hand Sanitizer: Its their in all your bags too :)

13. Gems: Angel without wings..I bribed my son and made him learn to talk,walk,toilet train..all because of this.. One good habit=One gems :)

This is all I have in my bag..And now the tagging part! Yes I'm tagging few of my fellow bloggers to share What's In Their Bags?

Winter Skin Care Favorites

2.2.13 7 Comments
Now when winters are about to say buh-bye and the the products which proved to be saviors in the chilly winters are almost hitting bottoms..I guess I should say thanks to all stuff which helped me keeping me clean,moisturised and supple.
Lets take a look :
These are my random face and body care favorites in no particular order:

1. Jolen Whitening Face Wash Gel:
This was a recent invention by the brand and a discovery by me..Though using gel based cleansers isn't the best option for me in winters,but this one..it didn't break me out,cleansed all makeup thoroughly,didn't make me dry and was on a buy one get one offer.

2. Lotus Herbals Apriscrub:
An old friend of mine..I'm not a great fan scrubs with super-miniscule granules..they do nothing to me..This one's neither too abrasive nor too mild..just apt!

3. Himalaya Herbals Fairness Face Pack:
This works well on me..gives me brighter face and instant glow and is creamy too .So yes,this was a good winter friend :)

4. Avon Care Nourishing Cream:
I have been using the fairness cream from the same range as a regular day cream for the past 3months and I was pretty happy with it,so thought might give this one a try and I like the way it keeps my dry skin moisturised for quite a long time.The smell is little over-powering though!

5. Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline Body Lotion:
This one's a perfumed body lotion .I love love love its smell and how light weight it is on skin.
Read full review here.

6. Patanjali Aloevera Gel:
There are very few products which have the capability of being an all-weather favorite..and this is the one! Yup it was ther in my summer favorites list too.But back then I had no idea that it will have a role to play in the chilly weather too. I used it often right after bath on my face,it kind of sealed the moisture and it did lighten a slight pigmentation on my right cheek..love it !

7. The Body Shop Body Butter in Strawberry:
The smell,of this body butter (the USP of all TBS body butters) is very yummy and edible..kinda very sugared strawberries like.The colour of the body butter is soft pink,as if natural strawberries have been whipped with the butter..smells yum,feels yummier!!! About to hit bottom shows how much I love it!
Read full review here .

8. Homemade Body Oil:
Last but technically the first in usage and liking. This is my dry skin saviour actually. Used everyday post bath. Can't survive without this. Its is 2parts coconut oil,2parts olive oil and 1part almond oil mixed together 9and stored in an old clean and clear face wash bottle)
Absolute necessity!

These accompanied with a sunny afternnoon,a hot cup of cream coffee and a lovely book to read..mmm I'm already day dreaming!!!!

The Body Shop Body Butter Trio

17.4.12 33 Comments
Well..this might not be a great season to write a post on Body Butters but my dry skin and to top it all this TBS Body Butter Trio Body Butter set,a gift from my best friend could not stop me to go ahead and write an epic about it ;)
Body Butters are creams formulated with rich ingredients that is luxurious and thick and which has all the properties of butter, but is not greasy.It is a moisturizing cream that is intended to provide optimum amount of skin hydration. It is made from a variety of substances, including plants oils, nut butters. Filled with essential vitamins and nutrients, body butter provides a natural and healthier way to nourish the skin.
TBS Body Butter Trio contains :- Moringa Body Butter,Strawberry Body Butter and Sweet Lemon Body Butter.

TBS Claims:

Moringa Body Butter

  • Best if you want to: Soften and condition your skin with a rich floral-scented moisturizing cream that lasts up to 24 hours.
  • Best for: normal to dry skin
  • How it works
  • Moringa seed oil with natural oleic acid moisturizes and protects skin.

 Strawberry Body Butter
  • Best if you want to: Treat your skin to a rich, moisturizing cream with a fresh-picked strawberry scent that will soften and smooth for up 24 hours.
  • Best for: normal skin
  • How it works
  • Strawberry seed oil provides omega-3 and omega-4 fatty acids to repair skin’s moisture barrier, so it is smooth and supple.
 Sweet Lemon Body Butter
  • Best if you want to: Hydrate and protect your skin with an intensive, creamy and fragrant all-over body moisturizer with luscious lemon seed oil that will leave skin delicately scented with an uplifting citrus fragrance.
  • Best for: normal to dry skin
  • How it works
  • Lemon seed oil is high in anti-oxidants and Vitamin C and helps moisturize and soften the skin.
Quantity: 50ml/1.6OZ/48g
Ingredients: A long list indeed..
Price: It was a gift from my best friend (somewhere around INR 1000/-..I guess,not sure)

Packaging: Well this is the section I was curious to write about.Since this trio was a gift set,the packaging looked like a gift every bit.All the three tubs came in a sturdy and beautiful white metal tray with the measurements just appropriate to accommodate the three tubs.The carving on the tray reminded me of the Mughal architecture.The tray can be used to store other things as well :)
Coming to the packaging of the body butter,its in the same TBS trademark plastic tubs with the screw caps,the colours of the tubs represent the fruit,flower etc.it boasts to be made up of.

My Take:
This Body butter trio set was a gift from my best friend.She got me this from Dubai and it became my first experience of body butters.The moment I saw it ,I fell in love with the tray packaging and after opening it,I was mmmmmmmm.... swept away off my feet by its smell fragrance.A small review of each following:
Moringa: Moringa is considered to be the most nutrient rich plant on earth. Moringa leaves have been consumed by Asian people for millennia as a healthy food product. Containing more than 90 nutrients and 46 antioxidants, these vivid green leaves are nature’s super-power food.This is my personal favourite of all the three.It smells DIVINE (yup,in CAPITAL LETTERS). The moment I unscrew the cap,it takes me to some other world (Now I'm on a hunt for a perfume with similar floral notes).I can write an epic on just the fragrance of it,but as of now...let's move to the other one!
Strawberry:This comes in a deep burgundy tub.The smell,the USP of all TBS body butters is very yummy and edible..kinda very sugared strawberries like.The colour of the body butter is soft pink,as if natural strawberries have been whipped with the butter..smells yum,feels yummier!!! Now moving to the third one of the trio:
Sweet Lemon: The colour of the packaging and that of the body butter of TBS Sweet Lemon is similar to that of Moringa one,though a little brighter.This as the name indicates has a citrus fragrance.It is very refreshing,the smell instantly opens up the mind and eyes.I specially like using this much before the winters approach as it appears to be a sorta cool fragrance,very summery kinds.

TBS Body Butters named aptly feel like butter on the skin.They are very moisturizing and get absorbed in the skin quickly leaving behind a wonderfully smelling youuu :) They are thick yet non-greasy,a boon for dry skinned beauties!

My Likes:
1.Smells divine.
2.Very Moisturizing.
3.Non-greasy.
4.Beautiful tray packaging.
5.Not tested on animals.
6.Unbreakable.
7.You can see how mush product is left in the tub.
8.Can be accommodated in the daily handbag.
My Dislikes:
1.Tub packaging might seem unhygienic to some.
2.A bit expensive.
Last Word: For a person with super dry skin,this comes as a Saviour. I love it!
Repurchase: Waiting for my bestie's another trip to India ;)
Over All Rating: 4.5/5
