Pay day Purchases for August: Makeup, Jewelry & Bag haul!
September 16, 20150 Comments

IMG_20150913_164119633 (3)

August was a very long month of hot weather and hard work. The wait for payday stretches out in front of you and the weather sucks to such an extent that you sweat even in air conditioning. Have I made enough excuses for splurging on some new products yet? I did a little bit of travelling in August and the work load seemed to double up once I returned back home! I think now that the month has come to an end it does call for some treats up my sleeve and what better way to celebrate my payday time so I went shopping :D ! ;)

Bags

Lengloy sling bag pink Diana Korr Flipkart

My first visit was to my beloved Flipkart.com to pick up a sling bag which I was in real need off . I’ll tell you the reason behind the purchase of this sling bag. I added a sling bag on my wish list ever since my previously loved and million times used E20 sling bag’s chain broke off :’( and I had to purchase a replacement asap to subside the pain of losing a fav sling bag :P . I bought this cute sling bag in pink color but the brand Lengloy sent me a damaged product for which I got a replacement in no time. So no complaints here, I am totally loving my new bag buy!

With the sale, and a cheeky extra discount on the Flipkart app I got this spoil baby for just INR 599! *Yay* 

Jewelry

Ethnic accessory

My shopping is incomplete if I have not splurged on a beautiful pair of earrings and guess what I ended up buying two of them this time, blame the weather ! ha ! :p

Bangles for every occassion

Next I splurged upon some ethnic bling bangles! My favorite ethnic accessory ! The first set of bangles is a box of colorful plastic studded bangles to match with every rain and rainbow outfit of mine :P I already received a dozen compliments while they were on my slim wrists ;) So super yay to them! I bought them from a store in a place called Mohammadi near Lucknow city! Now you know why they are so pretty ! The other set of bangles in light pink and white were just a random buy and I can hardly wait to flaunt them !

Since I indulged in a lot of travelling in August I got the chance to pick up some finest products across the places I travelled. My next purchase was double linked two finger rings in gold and silver. They are a unique set of stretch rings and I can’t wait to flaunt them on a festive event! Every woman should own these pieces of statement jewellery in their style wardrobe!

Hair clip studded shop

My last buy in the jewellery sec included a beautiful bow shaped white stone studded hair holder clip from Lucknow ! It was love at first sight for this one. A jeweled hair accessory you are often going to see me flaunting :D

All of the jewellery I bought can be worn separately on simple occasions or even at weddings and parties !

Makeup

Cheeky glow, Lakme absolute, Nivea

It’s the season of chapped lips hence my next purchase was two lip balms from my favorite lip balm brand Nivea ! These two (Pomegranate and Cherry) along with peach are my 3 favorite lip balms from Nivea’s #BFF new range of lip balms (reviews of the lip balms coming up in the next post)! I also bought a Maybelline Cheeky glow blush which was on my wish list from a very long time from now. My next buy in the makeup section was Lakme Shine Line Black Eyeliner from Lakme’s Absolute range. I had heard good reviews about it and bought it on a sale of 25% off on Amazon.in

Hair care

My next purchase was a roots comb as my previous roots comb accidentally broke and I had to replace it with a new one. I also bought a random comb to brush my wet hair after bathing.

Traditional trend accessory: Latkans

Traditional accessories

My purchases would be incomplete if I din’t splurge on a pair of latkans ! No guessing here, I ended up buying three pairs ! All so beautiful ! You can read more about latkans here.

The month of August was a promising one and I am happy to have shopped for some of the most blingy and lovely things ! Hopefully September turns out to be as good as August !

Haul review

What about you ? Did you shop to your heart’s content the previous month? temme!

Until Next time

Contact Lenses For Your 'THE' Day
September 05, 20150 Comments
review, shopping, Lenskart.com
I have been using contact lenses for about 6 years now and the first time to go lens shopping was on Lenskart.com ! Those who are looking forward for their first experience with lenses , I suggest you to get it done at a local optician nearby to your place. It is easier to shop for lenses online only when you know the power of each eye.
Shopping review
I got my eyes checked at a local optician’s store and later used the information provided by him to buy lenses on Lenskart. It wasn’t an easy process neither was it complicated to buy lenses from Lenskart. I faced an issue with my order twice and had to cancel it both the times and place an order on the phone Disappointed smile Other than that I am completely satisfied with their services.
Online optical shopping expereince
The site is well organized and I was able to find what I was looking for without any hassles , not to forget we get a lot of discounts and its economical to buy lenses online as I had to pay double the amount when buying offline.
Buy contact lenses best place
I heard a lot of negative reviews but went forward because it saved a lot of money and I hadn’t the time to visit my optician and place an order for a new set of lenses. I am happy  went forward with my order as I had no issues with the quality and was happy with their delivery and packaging.
Price: Reasonable. price is less compared to contact lenses old out offline.
Website: Organised, Efficient and authentic branded products are sold. I liked the option of filters and shortlist on the site.
Order Placement: Needs improvement. I was frustrated when my order got cancelled twice but their executive called up and placed my order for me via phone.
Products : Authentic and qualitative
Packaging: Excellent packaging
Delivery: My order was delivered within 10 days of time which is a little too long according to me. they could improve on their delivery time . I think it took them a little longer because I ordered a pair of toric power lenses.
Pros:
1. Has an option for all those power lenses which are high in power
2. Well organised website
3. Excellent packaging
4. Quality products delivered.
5. Economical
6. Unmatched discounts
7. Good customer service
8. Wonderful optical online store
9.Good for buying contact lenses
10. Provides option for reward points which can be redeemed later.
Cons:
1. Can’t expect a speedy delivery
2. Difficulty in placing an order. Even though the amount was charged and reflected in my bank account my order showed it was in process.
Final Views:
I would definitely shop again on Lenskart but this time I do hope my order is placed in one go and I don’t get calls stating my order was incomplete and they would be cancelling it. For all those who have already used lenses this site is a boon and a money saver!

The ‘Pari’ Haul : Ethnic Jewellery #ShoppingDiaries
May 18, 20150 Comments
100_8360
Jewellery is something that women swear by! And hence just like clothing, jewellery is all about colors and intricate designing ! Be it imitation jewellery or precious metal and stone jewellery , Indian women are way too fond of all kinds of jewellery .
When it comes to jewellery Indian jewellery has no match in the world. Chand Balis, Traditional gold plated bangles and fusion bracelets with charm bangles , huge earrings and cuffs are a few pieces in which Indian women don’t think twice before investing money in. How many of you’ve heard that if you want to impress a woman buy her beautiful jewellery & accessories ? Well if you have heard something in the similar lines than you must have an idea how much jewellery means to women all over the world.
Artificial Kundan style jewellery or silver imitation jewellery sets are all in fashion these days because gold & platinum is not always affordable & imitation jewellery is something which one can stock up to match all of their clothes or styles ! Plus I remember my granny advising to never carry gold jewellery with us during long train journey’s as it is not safe and hence we always ended up wearing imitation jewellery which for one is not a bad thing :D So yes imitation jewellery or artificial jewellery is the next big thing which is trending among Indian girls !
Recently while I was browsing through the Flipkart’s jewellery section I came across a brand named ‘The Pari’ which sold beautiful creations. And after I checked out their whole collection I couldn’t help but drool at all of their products.The next thing that followed was a lot of shopping from their collection :D So it was jewellery shopping time for me also something over which I was guilt-free for not having spent a fortune over the next piece of jewelry!

The Pari has a wide range jewellery and make earrings, pendants, chokers, necklaces, rings, bracelets. Their packaging was good . Each product came well packed in brown custom made boxes. You can buy their products from either from Flipkart, snapdeal or from their website.

I bought 3 sets of bracelets which are droolworthy along with it I bought two pairs of earrings. These bronze earrings are my favorite and they match most of my ethnic kurtas and I have already worn them 6-7 times ! Yayy! The only con about them are that they a lil heavy . The next pair of earrings are light on the ears and a treat to the eyes ! I have these on my wishlist since I saw them on Priyanka Chopra and the moment I set my eyes on this I knew I had to buy something like this ! *teeheee*
Pari earrings Ethnic jewellery
I bought a two finger ring . This is an absolute favorite of mine. I’ll tell you a secret I ordered a purple two flower double ring but instead of that they sent me this starry beauty and guess what I am thankful this confusion took place ! I lurvvvvv ring *I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT* Along with it I bought a pink ruby toned unique ring which I love equally !
Trendy fashionable rings The Pari
I am not a fan of cuffs and the only disappointment that came from The pari was this cuff. It discolored and turned bronze after a couple of outings.

I bought two necklaces in silver , each different from the other. They were purchased with the intent of gifting but on receiving them I fell in love with one of them and only one among them went into the gifting list ;)
100_8359
And last of all I bought Gold plated bangles for my momma dearest and she is over the moon about them . So I guess they are good too :D the best buys were the stacked bracelets with charms in them ! I fell in love with these and now plan to buy more of them in other colors :D

Flipkart keeps running discounts and sales and this is the best time to shop from The pari and become the proud owners of great jewellery that doesn’t cost the sky. With such beautiful jewellery from brands we now surely can experiment with our looks and also complement them differently each time. So what are you waiting for? Just visit and shop for classy & unique pieces of jewellery at dirt-cheap prices now!
Until next time

Shopping experience at Amazon.in : Laser printer !
December 28, 20140 Comments
Amazon shopping expo
Hello everybody!
A month back my ink jet printer crashed and when we took it to the repair guys they said they would charge about 3k for the printer . And we were left open mouthed, because hey you could get a new ink jet printed in 3k. So what if our printer was a HP printer acquitted with fax, scan and printing. It was over. that is when the search for a new printer began. And we wouldn't settle till we got the best one! And then Amazon happened ! After a lot of comparison of prices we found that no other site could beat Amazon when it came to printers and prices !
So within the next few days we zeroed upon a laser printer that had the feature of photo copying ! yayy! Just that it did not have fax but it was a godammn Samsung Multipurpose laser printer !
To seal the deal was the GOSF sale and the discount on the Laser printer we ordered just doubled ! Tralala ! Wasting no more time we ordered the printer immediately!
And guess what Amazon is awesome ! Because:
1. Discounts did not waver off after the GOSF sale (the discount happened during the GOSF but remained even after it ended , ie is when we bought , just after the GOSF had eneded!)
2. We get regular updates on our order through mails and SMS!
3. Absolutely loved the packaging!

4. It was bubble wrapped and came with some more extra protection !
100_8089
5. The product was in perfect condition! And the installation was easy peasy , thanks to theinstruction guide!
20141220_123849
6. The Amazon product page has helpful reviews from past buyers which helped us choose a good printer!
7. The overall packaging even after we opened package was awesome ! You can see it clearly in the pictures !
20141220_120056
7. Free Shipping ! Plus delivery with 3-4 days after ordering ! That’s pretty fast ! ( But it just couldn’t beat Flipkart here!)
20141220_115901
Although the only thing that we disliked was the plug in of the Samsung which required a Max size plug point . But that’s just a minor gripe. I would recommend this printer to each and everyone looking to buy a affordable multipurpose laser printer ! Its very good ! Just make sure you have enough space, it’s a tad bit huge than we expected it to be!

The model of the printer is :
Functions: Photocopying, scanning and printing. Prints both color and black ink pages.
Price: Priced at INR 12,999. We got it at a discounted price of INR 6,888 from Amazon.in ! Now selling at even less for INR 6590 !
Brand: There’s no need to go gaga over the famous and loved brand Samsung ! Plus Samsung has given the product a warranty of about two years ! We are just happy people haha!
Loved the overall experience of shopping at Amazon and guess what I already placed my second order (Ear cuffs ) *Jump of joy* on Amazon ! Can’t wait for it to get delivered Will be up shortly on the blog!

Until next time <3

Ongoing End Of Season Sale At ShoppersStop !
July 12, 20140 Comments
Interesting Mannequins
Upto 51% off end of season sale ! 2014 !

Its July , time for a flat 51% off sale at Shopperstop ! Every year in July Shopperstop runs the end of summer season sale and I make sure I never miss sales by Shopperstop ! From discounts on accessories to apparel to footwear , women and men rush into the stores to shop before everything is out of stock. With stores in 68 locations throughout India they are one of leading business departmental stores spread across India offering few of the most best brands!

You can head to their stores or you could shop at their website , though I checked, the store offers are far more better than the online store.

The Bling Sparklers did end up splurging a lot of money(Post we the Shopperstop haul will be up soon :D) , but we were left disappointed by The L'Oreal counter. (Bannerghatta outlet- Be very sure to check the expiry dates if you’re buying from there)After we had purchased the infallible foundation along with 2 other cosmetic products and were back on our way to home , we happened check the expiry and realized the Saleswoman of L'Oreal had tricked us into buying expired products! At first we were damn furious and when we called their customer care in fury they apologized and asked us to bring the product so they could exchange it.There was no doubt we felt betrayed and cheated , So yeah we must go back to the store again.Gah ! But this is the first time they have disappointed me so we think we’ll try and forgive them only if they replace the expired products with a prolong sincere apology and returned back our precious time & petrol ofcourse, Grrrrrrrrrrr!. Nonetheless other than this bad experience everything else at the Sale seemed good.We clicked a few pictures , enjoy and don’t miss the sale, its fabulous!
