The first time I found Made in Australia product was the cosmetic brand, Face of Australia. I bought a liquid eyeliner from this brand for as low as AUD 8.85 from Priceline, probably the only brand and the ONLY local brand which sells at an affordable cost while compared to others.
The liquid eyeliner weighs 3ml or 0.25 fl oz. I liked the design of the eyeliner bottle. The long lid allows me to hold it easy and draw the apply the liquid easily. I have used many eyeliners which have small lids and it is quite difficult to hold.
Pros:
The first thing I loved is the long thin brush and the nozzle gives an excellent finishing, be it thick or thin.
Does not cause any irritation. Lasts long until you wash your face or eyes.
Easy to apply very thin lines.

Has a friendly "Price" tag
Cons:
I didn't find any drawbacks.

Most of us haven't heard of the brand, Models Prefer, which is available in the Priceline chain of retail across Australia. During my last visit to Melbourne, I bought this Makeup palette from Priceline, which was running an offer, as low as AUD 4, that's $ 4. I was so happy to see the kit which comes with two face powders, three brushes and four eye shadows

I have been a regular subscriber of My Envy Box and I like their box contents. My Envy Box has launched Designer Jewelry Box in association with NIMAI. I ordered the Jewelry Box 1 month subscription for Rs 2,450 and received 3 statement pieces as they promised while placing an order.
My Envy Box provides 4 types of subscription
- Designer Jewelry Box - 1 Month - Rs 2,450
- Designer Jewelry Box - 3 Months - Rs 7,050
- Designer Jewelry Box - 6 Months - Rs 13,800
- Designer Jewelry Box - 1 Year - Rs 26,400
I loved the velvet box which I can use as a jewelry box. It is spacious and big.
What does my box contain?
- Gold plated earring from Malleka - Rs 2,800
- Neck piece from Dhora - Rs 2,500
- Finger ring from Zariin - Rs 2,500
The products have a great finishing.
Overall, I am happy with the statement jewelry from My Envy Box and its worth a buy. :)
Iris eau de toilette is a body mist from Crabtree & Evelyn, for women. I was at their store at UB City, Bangalore. The store has wide range of body mists and other fragrance.
I bought two body mists Iris and Lily. The first one which I opened was the Iris flower body mist. The mist is long lasting and perfect for an everyday use. I have never used the Iris flower flavour and I liked this one.
Quantity : 30ml
Price : Rs 1,700.



I would highly recommend this body mist if you're looking for different flavour but you must be willing to spend more for 30ml and the brand name. But its worth the price I say.

The packing is neat and the bottle is handy which fits in your travel kit. The carton has a tree embossed on it, making it attractive.

I came home after a tiring day at office and was surprised and happy to receive the October edition My Envy Box. The box had a beautiful floral design, oh, I love the painting so much! The box had 5 products this month as they are celebrating anniversary. Happy second birthday to My Envy Box. May you celebrate many more Anniversaries.
1. Kerastase ELIXIR ULTIME Sublime Cleansing Oil-Enriched Shampoo 70ml -Full size product. Costs Rs 750.
2. Kerastase ELIXIR ULTIME MASQUE 75ml - Full Size product. Rs 1350.
3. L'occitane Arlseslenne Shower Cream 70ml - Full size product. Rs 490.
4. Sephora Eye Shadow tricolor. Full size product. Rs 1,280.
Last but not the least, sample product from Za. September's Box too had a Za sample product-Za Total Hydration Fresh Foamy Cleanser.
5. Za Total Hydration Amino Mineral Refreshing Gel. 5g
So this month's Envy Box had four full size products worth Rs 3,870. I have not used any product and the reviews will be up in the coming posts. Stay tuned!

L'Occaitane Hair Care Kit
Davidoff Cool Water Woman Sea Rose 1.2 ml

I know its late to blog about Vellvette October bag. The parcel came in a big carton but the contents did not surprise me this me.
I was rather unhappy to see the “blue” bag which looks like a toiletry kit unlike the fuchsia, black or red bag which they sent earlier.

The contents inside the bag:
1. Vantiv Moisturizing Shampoo & Refreshing Lemon Shower Gel
2. Brocato Actives Hair Infusion Serum
3. Florelle Wet & Dry Blush – Marmorized


Vantiv Shower and Bath Gel does not have a good fragrance and smell like a toiler cleaner. It is an Indian brand unlike Vellvette promised to send the international brands. It is a full size product and cost Rs 214 for 180ml. Vantiva Shampoo is a full size product Rs 187 for 250ml. I would prefer lesser quantity of a great quality than such full size cheap products.

The blush is a combination of blue and pink which I did not like personally. Would you prefer Blue colored cheek?



I had renewed 3 month subscription from Oct-Dec but I am disappointed to see this month’s bag. I have to wait and watch what’s in Nov bag.

I received the August 2013 Vellvette Bag on the last day of the month. The bag is the same as the pink colored one in one of the previous subscriptions. I like the June's pink bag than the black.
The Contents in the bag:
I have used only the lip gloss which is nude. I would prefer a colored one instead.
Overall, I am quiet unhappy with the lip gloss and the cream. The products would have been carefully chosen.
The Contents in the bag:
- H20+ Sea Results Deep Sleep Recovery Cream. (In the bag, sample not to be sold. Full size Rs 3,200 for 50g)
- Sally Hansen Lip Plumper - Sheer Bare (in the box --> Full size Rs 775 for 6 ml)
- I Love... Coconut and Cream (in the box 100ml. Full size Rs 795 for 500 ml, Rs 250 for 100 ml)
I have used only the lip gloss which is nude. I would prefer a colored one instead.

Lakme Absolute Lip Tint collection are available in eight colors. Candy Kiss, orange in color, is one of the most popular color and I wear it everyday.
