I had earlier shared my experience with 48craft.com here. I had purchased a Kalamkari work Jewellery Box before and a quilted heart greeting card. This time I got this Kashmiri work Batwara Bag with round cane handles.
They have such amusing names for their products..the bags are named Jigar, Angaar, Pukar, Hum Dono, Khiladi..This one is called Batwara 😀
I loved the mustard yellow color..and the red and blue work on it..that looks so bright and nice..and I love those round cane handles too..the only issue is..I expected it to be a little bigger in size..this is very small..but nonetheless..enough space in for some daily stuff !
Yet again a great experience with the site ! And delivery in a day is super awesome..Surely recommend it..especially if you like handicrafts and traditional work..I love the bookmarks, bags, greeting cards, pen stands and so many other things !

What the Company claims: Everything you could want in a palette! A collection of our 6 intensely pigmented shades and 2 gel-based liners – More precise than a pencil, more forgiving than a liquid, this super-smooth formula offers more control, play time, and buildable coverage than your average liner.
WINNER! – Best New Eye Product 2011 at the Pure Beauty awards in London.
Price: £3.99 inc. VAT (Around Rs. 310/-)
Shades Available:
Ingredients:
If you love smokey eyes..you should definitely check out Smoke Screen.
This eye shadow and eye liner collection palette consists of 6 eye shadows of 1g each..about a size of our new 5 rupee coin and 2 gel or cream liners of 1.5g each. It has a small dual sided brush..one side is a angled liner for the cream liners and the other side is a small fluffy crease brush..well its actually very tiny..but the angled liner brush is quite nice ! And also a stretched mirror below the brush. I love these palettes for being so travel friendly and compact.
The shadows are decently pigmented..some are more..and some are a little less..but none are powdery or chalky..all have a metallic finish and are shimmery..but not glittery…if you are a fan of mattes..this is not for you..the staying power is a good 6-7 hours even without a base.
The gel liners are decently pigmented too..the black is darker and glossier than the one in the Amazon Palette and the blue is nicely pigmented too..these cream liners are water proof and stay around 6-7 hours on the lids.
Top Row has metallic grey with blue shimmer, metallic ash gray and shimmery white
Bottom Row has metallic denim blue, bluish gray with blue shimmer and metallic black with some silver shimmer
Cream liners are matte deep navy blue and matte glossy black
Check out the whole review here
Overall I quite love this palette..it is super handy..and you get all the smokey shades with gel liners and a brush in one palette..and at this price..definitely a steal ! Must have..
You can buy it here. Its a perfect gift too ! Surely recommended.

Glamour Power Product 2011
MRP: 24$ (Approx Rs.1175/-)
Shades Available:
All the shades are not available now..neither on the Bobbi Brown site nor on Apothica..I am not aware if they are discontinued or just Out of Stock.
Cabo Coral and Calypso Coral were a part of the Bobbi Brown Cabana Corals Collection which had launched in 2010.
I was super confused between Cabo Coral and Calypso Coral..Cabo Coral is a true coral peach..minus any pinkiness..whereas Calypso Coral is a bright coral pink..I was scared it might be too bright..but it comes up just fine after blending.
As described..Calypso Coral is a bright coral pink..I like the coral pink hue it gives to the cheeks..but it does not look OTT.
Its a little on the glossier side..so I guess the oily skinned would not prefer it much..coz of the shine..you better try first before buying.
Its so super easy and convenient to use..I love cream blushes coz they are very easy to use and can be used anywhere..you just need clean fingers..thats it !
 |
| Unblended-Blended |
The formula is nice and easy to blend..it stays a good 6-7 hours..though the glossiness would go..the color does not fade away completely..but I wish it had better staying power..not the fault of the texture..nothing survives too long in the humid climate here.
I find this a little drying for lips..and the color does not show up much too..it comes up as a stain..and stays for 2-3 hours..but not very comfortable on lips….you feel that dryness.
Pros:
1. I love the bright coral pink shade.
2. The shades they offer are all quiet nice and versatile..from peaches to pinks to brown pinks to plums and browns.
3. Super easy to use and blend.
4. Convenient to carry around.
5. Gives a glossy finish to the cheeks..I like that in winters.
6. Stays for a good 6-7 hours.
7. Can be used for both lips and cheeks.
8. Its easy to use..also coz it does not settle in fast..and would not stain if you do not blend quickly..so good for newbies too.
Cons:
1. Feels drying on lips.
2. Expensive.
3. Availability is an issue..I see only 3-4 shades everywhere.
Overall I quite like it..I did not have a bright coral pink cream blush in my stash..the texture is nice..easy to blend and gives a glossy finish..I also like Powder Pink, Blushed Rose and Pink Truffle. Calypso Coral is a nice color for medium to fair skin tones. For medium dusky, I would suggest Powder Pink or Pink Truffle.
