May 2016 My Envy Box Unboxing, Review & 15% off Code

Hi guys,

So I just the May My Envy Box, the theme for this month is ‘Tropical Beauty’.

MRP: Rs.850/- (Available HERE)

It’s a bright yellow colored box, I love the color and the whole tropical print. It comes in a outer white box and as soon as I opened the package, it had a strong citrus smell, and I knew it’s something good.

Let’s see what all I got:

  • Island Kiss Lip Moisturizer in Puerto Berry Blush- Full sized (Rs.499/- for 14g)
  • Votre Botanical Toning Mist- Deluxe sample 50ml (Rs.800/- for 100ml)
  • Roots And Above Lemon Essential Oil – Full sized (Rs.375/- for 10ml)
  • Gulnare Seaflo Face Wash- Full sized (Rs.350/- for 120ml)
  • Kiehl’s Special Consultation Gift Voucher

To start with the Island Kiss Lip Moisturizer, I have all three and really like them. I have reviewed them on my Instagram HERE. You must have seen them all over the net already, Puerto Berry Blush is my favourite of the three and these are indeed quite good.

Votre makes some good skincare stuff, and I love using mists in place of toners, being a toning mist, it’s just perfect. Looking forward to trying this one out.

Lemon Essential Oil from Roots And Above, was the one giving the box, this awesome smell. I am all about essential oils and you can mix them with your skincare, hair oils, etc. There are number of ways to use them and I am surely going to try this one soon.

Gulnare is a new organic and hand made brand in the market. I got their Pumpkin face wash too, in the May SugarBox, and this Seaflo one is the 2nd product from them. This one has a combination of cucumber, wheatgerm and grapeseed oil. Sounds good.

Also a Kiehl’s gift voucher is really good for someone who hasn’t tried Kiehl’s yet. I have got skin consultation there, a number of times. There are experts in every Kiehl’s store who will check your skin texture, condition, problems, etc. and accordingly suggest you Kiehl’s products and would give a lot of samples, good enough to try for a week.

They also have a Rs.500/- off on May Jewellery Box coupon code card, ‘MAYJB’ is the code.

The value of the products in the box come to Rs.1675/– which is pretty good, also I have a 15% off discount code for you guys, you can use ‘NLMBHUMIKA’ at checkout and get the box at Rs.722/– which is a steal!

I do recommend the May My Envy Box, I am quite happy with the full sized products.

What do you think of the May Tropical Beauty My Envy Box?

Kiehl’s BB Cream Light Review, Swatches, FOTD

Kiehl’s Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream Light Review, Swatches, FOTD

I mentioned about the launch and swatches of all three shades of the Kiehl’s BB Cream HERE

Kiehl’s Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream
More than a BB Cream.
Instantly perfects.
Visibly corrects the appearance of skin tone irregularities with daily use.
With SPF 50 PA+++
Available in 3 shades: Fair, Light & Natural.

MRP: Rs.3200/- for 30ml

Active Ingredients in it are Vitamin C, Glycerin and Natural pigments.

Ingredients:

It comes in small sleek white tube with a flip cap..comes in 3 shades..there is not much of a difference between Natural and Light..

Only a pea sized amount is needed..and it gives amazing coverage..not full..but I did say much better than any tinted moisturisers or BB Creams in Indian market..

I love the fact that it has SPF 50 PA+++ and I do not need a separate sunscreen…unless of course where I am going to remain out for long..I did apply an additional sunscreen..

I have the one in Light shade and it works perfect for me..


Here is me with only Kiehl’s BB Cream and nothing else..

Pros:

1. Quite light weight.
2. Good coverage.
3. SPF 50 PA+++
4. Stays for 6-7 hours.
5. I do not need a separate moisturiser under this for now in summers..this alone works well…so no separate 3 things needed..only this and I am sorted.
6. Pores appear smaller.
7. High content of Vitamin C also helps in fading scars and improving skin tone..I saw some difference with regular use..along with Kiehl’s Clearly Corrective Concentrate.

Cons:

1. Very expensive for 30ml.
2. Only 3 shades available..not much options for darker skin tones.
3. Kiehl’s is not available in all cities..though you can order them to be delivered.

Overall I would say I do love this..and this works out amazingly well for me..especially in summers..I need only this..and no 2-3 different products…but I would definitely agree this is expensive for daily use..

Rating:

Quality: 4/5
Value for money: 3.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 3.75/5

Would I buy it again: Maybe..

Check out all the swatches HERE

You can get a sample of it from any of their stores..in case you would want to try and be sure before buying..

Kiehl’s  Actively Correcting & Beautifying  BB Cream Launch Photos, Swatches

I was invited for the launch of Kiehl’s new BB Cream on Saturday at the Phoenix Market City store and it was my bhabhi’s baby shower yesterday..so has been busy from the past two days..

Finally a BB Cream launched in India..that is actually a true BB Cream..and has the properties of one..

Kiehl’s Actively Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream
More than a BB Cream.
Instantly perfects.
Visibly corrects the appearance of skin tone irregularities with daily use.
With SPF 50 PA+++
Available in 3 shades: Fair, Light & Natural.

MRP: Rs.3200/- for 30ml

Active Ingredients in it are Vitamin C, Glycerin and Natural pigments..

Mr. Anurag Tyagi, the Brand Manager of Kiehl’s gave a detailed presentation on Kiehl’s and the BB Cream..

I tried all three shades..here are the swatches of Fair, Light and Natural..

I was confused between Light and Natural..as both are quiet similar..but I was suggested Light by their KCR after testing..and so went for it..

I did try it at the store..and loved the coverage..better than most tinted moisturisers..and SPF 50 PA+++ which is amazingg..plus the Vitamin C ! I would surely review it in the coming days after testing it well..

Are you excited about the Kiehl’s BB Cream Launch ?

Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 Review

Uncategorized, , , ,
Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 Review



What the Company claims: A Kiehl’s classic and #1 bestseller, soothing lips since 1969.

•Temporarily protects and helps relieve chapped or cracked lips.
•Helps protect lips from the drying effects of wind and cold weather.
•Formulated with soothing emollients Squalane, Lanolin and Sweet Almond Oil as well as Vitamins A and E.

Directions: Apply liberally, and allow an excess of the balm to be absorbed.

Key Ingredients: KAH –tuhn seed OY-il
Cotton seed oil is a pale yellow, odorless liquid expressed from various varieties of cotton. It is widely used in skin care as a formula softener.

OCT-in-OX-sate
Octinoxate, also known as Octylmethoxycinnamate or Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, is a popular chemical sunscreen ingredient. An excellent UVB ray absorber, it helps prevent skin from burning in the sun.

MRP: 0.5 fl. oz. Tube- $7.00
0.6 fl. oz. Jar- $7.50- 17g (Rs. 495/- here)

Ingredients:

It comes both in tube and jar form..which is nice..just that the jar thing costs only 50 cents more but the qty is 0.1 fl. oz. more..

Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 is one of their bestsellers..it is sold every 9 seconds in the world…in fact it is one product our very own Katrina Kaif cannot live without..any many other stars swear by it..well I totally agree !

I am using the jar one..it comes with a protective seal and is tightly secured..it looks light yellow in the jar but comes off transparent like petroleum jelly..the texture is like petroleum jelly too..

It does not have any smell and spreads around smoothly on the lips..I usually use it at nights..this is my lip savior in these harsh winters..my lips were getting too dry and chapped especially my upper lip..I am so glad I found this..

Pros:

1. It does what it claims..helps protect lips from being chapped and from the dry winters.
2. It contains sweet almond oil and cotton seed oil and Vitamins A and E..I quite liked the ingredients.
3. Does not have any smell.
4. Even though they are priced at 495/- the quantity is huge enough..so decently priced.
5. Comes in both tube and jar form..so you can select a tube if you feel thats more hygienic.
6. It gets absorbed in a few minutes and leaves the lips moist, soft and supple. I usually prefer keeping it overnight.
7. Octinoxate will help protect lips from the sun.

Cons:

1. Difference in price is less and quantity is more for the tube form.
2. Not available everywhere..Kiehl’s is presently in Delhi and Mumbai.

No other cons with it..if you suffer from dry lips..you should surely give this a try..your lips would love this !

Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate Review

What the Company claims: Purely Potent Over-Night Repair.

•Lightweight, overnight treatment.
•Regenerates, repairs, and replenishes skin for a smoother, healthier skin.
•Works with the skin’s natural nocturnal activity when skin is most receptive to repairing itself from daily aggressors to dramatically restore skin.
•99.8% naturally-derived and paraben-free.
•Kiehl’s Insider Tip: Layer over Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate for optimal anti-aging and healthier skin benefits.

Directions: Apply 2-3 drops on cleansed skin. Gently press fingertips to cheeks, forehead, and chin to evenly distribute the application before gently massaging it into the skin. Can be worn alone or under moisturizer.

Key Ingredients: Evening Primrose Oil is an effective on skin barrier repair and boosting radiance.

Lavender Essential Oil helps soothe inflamed or irritated skin while helping reduce skin blotchiness for a more even look. Creates a brighter and more radiant look to skin.

Squalane is a healing botanical lipid with a high affinity for skin to instantly restore and replenish.

Ingredients:

MRP: 1.0 fl. oz Bottle(30 ml)- $43.00 (Rs. 2750/- here)

1.7 fl. oz Bottle- $68.00

It has this dark blue packaging with a black dipper cap. The dipper helps you get the exact quantity..i.e 2-3 drops of it. I quite liked the packaging..the only thing is since its glass it needs to be handled with care..though the glass is quite thick to break just like that.

The main ingredient being evening primrose oil and lavender oil..it has a wonderful smell..which even helps you sleep better..you just need 2-3 drops of it..and so it lasts real real long.

I am using it from the last 3 weeks and its still almost full. I love the lavender smell..its quite soothing. It does make the skin appear healthier and plumper the next day. Even though its a serum and has oils in it..the texture is not sticky or oily..and gets instantly absorbed into the skin. If you have had a stressful or tired skin of late and need to attend an important event…this thing would help you for sure !

Pros:

1. Quite like the ingredients.
2. Does make the skin more radiant, even toned, healthier and plumper.
3. It even helps in drying out your acne and heal them faster.
4. Though its expensive, it lasts real long as you just need 2-3 drops of it.
5. I liked the packaging…there is no scope of any wastage whatsoever.
6. Naturally derived and paraben, fragrance and mineral oil free.
7. Does what it claims.
8. Would help replenish tired skin.

Cons:

1. Has to be stored well..away from light and handled with care.

No other cons as such..I would surely recommend it..in fact it has been recommended by 93% of people on their site too. I would suggest you to try this..especially if you are a bride to be. And I found it much better than the Lancome Génifique Youth Activating Concentrate which is priced almost double and did not do anything for my skin at all.

Rating:

Quality: 5/5
Value for money: 4.5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall rating: 4.5/5

Would I buy it again: Yes..I love its effect on skin..and a little luxury is what our skin needs at times..

Have you tried any midnight recovery serums or concentrate?
