Hello buttercups! The body shop Up to 50% Off sale is here!!! 

Well I think the Sale has been on for 2-3 days or something & actually I had no plans to shop for anything.We were just strolling around in Khan Market, waiting for our seat reservation at The Big Chill (one of my all time favorite places to nosh in Delhi) to come through & I spotted the TBS store & surprisingly Hubby dear said "okay why don't you check out some stuff?!"
"Err. really are you sure I asked?"
He said- "Oh yeah they have 50% off why not?"
 I couldn't believe my ears & I could  seriously do cartwheels right then!- nopes,not really... the store was kind of small, not really possible to pull off cartwheels there so I did the next best thing I hurriedly grabbed these babies, all this was flat 50% off!!!
I just love the Travel sized Body shop treats, they are fun to use, easy to travel with and look so pretty in my bath :) Hubby insisted that I also pick up the Dewberry shower gel & body lotion too! Really just my lucky day :)

Just then we got a call that our seats at restaurant were available and we had to rush out, before I could do any more damage to my wallet :)

Rush to your nearest TBS store to snag some goodies 'coz these do get sold out pretty quickly

Nyassa's Exotic Rose Handmade soap & Under the ocean bath fizzy

Ever since I saw Elizabeth Taylor essay Cleopatra; I've always harbored grand visions of myself bathing luxuriously in an exotic pool much like Cleopatra -okay I know the ancients used pretty wonky stuff in their bath like Asses's milk.No such wonky stuff for me thanyouverymuch !I'm more in to exotic roses and lavenders.

The nice people at Nyassa probably got a whiff of my little Cleopatra fantasy & they sent me this little goodie box with Nyassa Handmade exotic rose soap & Under the ocean bath fizzy.

Nyassa Handmade Exotic Rose Soap

The soap is a pretty baby pink colored bar with a healthy topping of dried rose petals embedded in to the soap.The bar has a sumptuous & rich rose fragrance.The smell is very natural and it really envelopes you in a warm hug with its comforting feel.

The soap is handmade and contains coconut & palm oil.

I sliced up the soap,what you see in the pic below is almost 20% of the soap bar, so I'm guessing a single bar should last round about 30-35 days.The soap lathers up pretty well, unlike many other handmade soaps I have used in the past.The embedded rose petals  also felt soft on the skin.

Price Rs 135/- for 100 grams

Colorbar Velvet Matte lipstick Obsessed Orange review and swatches

Remember those Orange lollies we would slurp as kids- yeah the same ones which left ultra bright orange lips -Ah what fun ! Colorbar Velvet Matte Obsessed Orange is like a bold & bright Orange lolly in a tube.

The shade just demands attention and instantly brightens up the face.The lipstick comes in standard Colorbar Velvet matte packaging and has the shade swatch at the base.The formula is not true matte, it has a creamy velvety feel and gives medium to full coverage. The lipstick isn't transfer proof and will leave a trail on your cups & glasses. You do need well exfoliated lips to pull it off.

This shade thankfully unlike rest of the CB velvet matte lipstick doesn't change leave a cheap pink stain on the lips. The wear time is around 3 hours on my lips, it fades with a hint of orange tint on my lips.

Price Rs 250/- for 4.2 grams

New Hair Serenity Service at Lakmé Salon

Tired of your frizzy, tangled hair?

Leave the old behind and say Hello to the new Hair Serenity Service at Lakmé Salon

Gives you gorgeously smooth, manageable and party ready hair completely naturally without using formaldehyde

Mumbai, June, 2012: Play it sleek as Lakmé Salon delivers the latest innovation to get silky straight hair with the launch of their new Hair Serenity treatment. Introduced to India by Lakmé Salon, the Hair Serenity treatment is a natural solution to hair that is unruly, frizzy and hair that refuses to behave. Unlike Keratin, the Hair Serenity treatment at Lakmé Salon is formaldehyde free and a safer process for achieving naturally smoother and shinier hair. Step away from the harmful effects of Keratin treatments and indulge in the natural goodness of ingredients like the Cysteine complex to get a glossy and healthy mane that will make heads turn.

 A pioneer in the beauty services industry in India, Lakmé Salon is a one stop shop for all the beauty needs of the contemporary Indian woman.

The Hair Serenity treatment is a natural way to restore lost proteins and transform hair. Special ingredients used in the service like Cysteine, Dendrobium Orchid, Hydrolyzed wheat protein, Cocoa Seed Butter and Shea Butter help nourish the hair and give it a long lasting shine and smoothness.

Shea Butter Smoothens and softens dry hair by locking in moisture in the hair Cocoa Seed Butter

Powerful antioxidant protects the hair while deeply moisturizing it

Hydrolyzed wheat protein Adds strength to the hair cuticle by replenishing lost proteins

Dendrobium Orchid Protects hair from getting oxidized allowing treatment to last longer

Cysteine Restructures, softens and releases curls from the hair + improves overall health of the hair

                                                                               

Divided into seven essential steps, the service starts off with a detailed consultation with the Lakmé Salon expert who determines the condition of your hair and the best way to proceed with the treatment. The hair is then shampooed and the Cysteine complex is applied to the hair. The complex is allowed to process in your hair as it starts it work on making your hair healthier and more lustrous. The hair is then blow dried and flat-ironed to give it a sleek but yet not poker-straight finish. Post this, the hair is finally rinsed off and you are left with a naturally glossy and manageable blow dried look which lasts for approximately 3 months.

Thus this all-natural service helps:

•          Work in synergy with the existing proteins to restructure, soften and release curls 

•          Penetration into the hair shaft for moisturizing and conditioning

      •          Helps for overall shine, softness, strength and health of hair

HAIR SERENITY Vs KERATIN
	HAIR SERENITY	KERATIN
PENETRATION	It penetrates inside the hair shaft but does not alter any hair bonds	It works on the cuticle layer- filling up the porous areas
INGREDIENTS	No artificial ingredients or harmful chemicals that could affect the health. Only Botanical ingredients and pure proteins	Formaldehyde is one of the main ingredients that differs in % in different companies
SMOOTHENING EFFECT	Calms down frizz and gives a natural look to the hair with brilliant shine and softness	The smoothening/ straightening effect depends on the % of formaldehyde in the product
VIRGIN HAIR	Works on Virgin hair as it penetrates into the hair shaft and does not form a coating on the cuticle	Does not work on Virgin hair unless it has high % of formaldehyde
LASTING TIME	3-4 months depending on hair type and after care	3 months depending on the aftercare products/services used
QUALITY	Overall improves the texture and quality of the hair leading to strength and stability	No repair- it forms a coating on the hair- It’s like makeup for hair
WASH	Same day wash	Same day or next day wash

NEW Clinique Repairwear Uplifting Firming Cream

The Bounce is Back.

NEW Clinique Repairwear Uplifting Firming Cream

Imagine more prominent looking cheeks, a smoother forehead and neck,

And jaw lines with a firm sense of place

As we age, natural processes in the skin begin to slow down. Skin begins to lose volume, collagen and elastin production decreases and the pull of gravity starts to show. All these factors lead to a loss of cushion that keeps the face looking plump and youthful.

For women who have de-aging concerns beyond lines and wrinkles and are looking for formulas designed to also lift and firm, Clinique introduces a new solution that awakens the entire face. NEW Repairwear Uplifting Firming Cream is formulated with ingredients specially selected to help visibly firm, volumize and restore skin texture. Skin achieves an immediate firming sensation upon application and with continued use skin begins to look “weightless” as the formula fights the long-term effects of gravity by helping to restore youthful volume.

REVOLUMIZE THE SKIN – LAYER BY LAYER

Repairwear Uplifiting Firming Cream contains a team of ingredients that use signaling technology to help visibly rebuild and volumize the skin. The formula includes a powerful, new multi-tasking ingredient Mitostime, a botanical extract derived from brown algae harvested off the coast of France, that provides essential energy to the cells helping to support the increase in volume.
