Fabbag April 2015 - review and contents.

The last week of the month usually sees the arrival of the subscription bags and boxes. I received  the Fabbag April 2015 edition with the zebra printed waterproof pouch yesterday. The theme for this month is 9 to 9 which I initially thought would mean long wear makeup and high performance skincare. What actually means […]

When the courier guy delivered the March Fabbag and I held the familiar package in my hand,  it was a lovely feeling. Similar to what you feel when you start taking again to your BFF after a quarrel.  If you’re a regular reader of my blog,  you’ll know that I was a loyal subscriber of […]

FabBag July 2014 – Contents

Posted on 25/07/201430/10/2015by Dollie

I received the July FabBag on the 21st of July but I was too busy with planning and organising son’s birthday party (which is no small task). Now that the party’s done and sonny boy is excited about opening all his presents, it’s time to get the erratic blogging back on track.  Coming back to […]

Blue Gradient EOTD Inspired By Kajol Using Palladio Eyeshadow Quad

Posted on 25/06/201429/12/2015by Dollie

The kids had gone down to play this afternoon and I saw this picture of Kajol while browsing the internet. I immediately got out the Palladio eyeshadow quad in Blue Suede that I got in my June FabBag and did a super quick and simple EOTD. I didn’t even change my clothes nor did I iron […]

After two international beauty boxes, one disappointing (A Beautiful World – review here) and one fabulous (Memebox from Nature – review here), it is now time for our very own, home grown beauty bag, FabBag (Vellvette in it’s earlier avatar). The FabBag is a bag that has been see-sawing up and down in terms of […]

What’s In My April 2014 FabBag?

Posted on 20/04/201430/10/2015by Dollie

Looks like the folks at FabBag wanted our bags to reach us in time for Easter this month. This year, I got my bag one week earlier than usual! I’m sure by now you all know what the FabBag is but in case you’ve been living under a rock, FabBag is a monthly beauty subscription […]

A hair oil that helps hair growth, adds shine and A hair oil that helps hair growth, adds shine and smells so good that husband and kids love it too! All through childhood, my mom would regularly oil my hair with a mix of castor and coconut oil. I have just made that oil a little bit more fragrant. 

Recipe: 
* Castor Oil - 10ml 
* Coconut Oil - 20ml 
* Amla Oil - 10ml 
A few drops of , 
* Rosemary essential oil - to stimulate hair growth and prevent dandruff.
* Ylang Ylang essential oil - adds shine to the hair and helps thicken it.
* Jasmine essential oil - moisturises hair and promotes hair growth. 

You need just a few drops of this oil for a hair massage, due to castor oil, it will get difficult to remove if you use too much. The fragrance is lovely and perfect for a soothing massage after a tiring day. Try it and let me know what you think.

Social media is a double edged sword for parents o Social media is a double edged sword for parents of teens. We don’t want to restrict them but we also want them to be safe. We want to know who they’re interacting with without being accused of snooping on them or infringing on their privacy. 
@snapchat seems to have read our minds and has launched #SnapSMART , a range of safety measures and tools to ensure our teens are safe when using the app. 
* Restricting unwanted content from strangers.
* Actively blocking content that isn’t age appropriate and restricting people posting such content. 
* “Family Centre” - where the parents can see who the child’s friends are on the app but not read their conversations thus giving the child privacy while ensuring their safety. 

The launch event had a very insightful panel discussion with actor @shefalishahofficial , teen influencer @nitanshigoelofficial , and the Head of Public Policy for Snapchat, Uthara Ganesh. 

As a mother of two teen boys, I’m so glad that a social media platform has taken such measures so that our kids can be safe while having fun with their friends on the app.

A new addition to my fragrance collection, my firs A new addition to my fragrance collection, my first from @xerjoff , is Erba Pura.  This bold, fruity-musky fragrance is certainly not for the faint hearted because it’s a beast mode fragrance. The fragrance reminds me of a recent holiday - cold winter morning in Mussoorie, sitting on the terrace enjoying the sunshine and eating a big bowl of fresh fruits - sweet oranges, juicy mangoes, fresh papaya and crunchy apple with a bit of lemon juice squeezed on top and a side of vanilla milkshake. Simply delicious. I don’t really get much of the musk in this though, but maybe I’m anosmic to musk. 

The longevity and sillage of this fragrance are tremendous, easily lasting for 8+ hours and leaving a gorgeous trail so go for it if you enjoy the attention. It is not a safe blind buy by any chance; you must try it on your skin before buying. You can try it at @mdpindofficial 

The bottle too, is gorgeous - a luxurious teal velvet with gold accents and cap. It weighs quite a bit and can cause a fracture if it falls on your foot! 

Top notes are Sicilian Orange, Calabrian bergamot and Sicilian Lemon; middle note is Fruits; base notes are White Musk, Madagascar Vanilla and Amber.

Have you tried this fragrance or any from Xerjoff?

Should I do more such experimental editorial looks? Would any of you wear such graphic liner looks:?
