October Fab Bag: Products and Review

I recieved the October Fab Bag recently and contrary to what happened last month, this month it arrived quite early. This was a pleasant surprise.

The bag's theme this month was 'Festival' and hence from the bag to the fab post( fab bag's monthly magazine) everything was about festivities.

Quite a few new brands were introduced this month but more about it later.

What was different this month, is that they gave the subscribers an option to choose 1 product in their bag.

I chose a product that I was crushing on for quite a while: MakeUpRevolution London Blush lacquer-Rush.

There is a separate product review about it, please go check it out. :)

Apart from that the magenta+red bag contained the following Items:-

Notice the red+magenta sponge-filled bag they provided this month. The gota was quite the detail.

My favourite item this month was the Nyassa Tiramisu Body Scrub.  It smelled like heaven and it said to contain raw cane sugar!!

The Palmer is a new brand and I can safely say that it lives up to the  expectations. It spreads a lot and does a lot using less amount of product.

The white jasmine facepack is a bit pricey, but is your go-to product when you are in a hurry and want instant results from your facepack.

These brands are new to the market and are available only in few places online. However,if you want to indulge and are willing to spend that much, trust me they wont let you down.




You can subscribe to the fab bag at www.fabbag.com


It is available for both men and women.


Let me know which product you'd like me to review next in the comments below.

The Best Ever Pantene Review + Olay Day Cream Review

Until about 2 years ago, I always neglected my hair and never took very good care of it, while simultaneously using styling tools on it very often. This ultimately resulted in a lot of damage, hairfall, and frizziness.


So when I recieved a package from Procter and Gamble a while back and I decided to give a try to The Best Ever Pantene.

The claim was a big one. I was curious to know if the claims would actually hold up. And I WAS SURPRISED!

After only 2 washes my hair felt smoother and shinier. The one I got was hairfall control and though I couldn't see visible results of that, the frizziness and the untameable nature of my hair significantly decreased.

This range consists of Keratin and helps repair 10 signs of damage to the hair, while protecting it from further damage and moisturising it intensely. By working through the core of the hair, it makes it stronger on the inside while making it shinier on the outside. But of course, there's no telling until you've tried it, right?

Although there was a visible improvement in the condition of my hair and an evident reduction of frizziness on the first usage itself, I decided to give the product a few more tries before coming to a final decision on how I felt about it. 

Normally, my hair is very dry and I can go about 3 (sometimes 4) days without washing it, with the help of dry shampoo of course. After using the shampoo and conditioner for 2 weeks, I've noticed that although my hair feels so much healthier and moisturised, it doesn't get greasy and I don't find the need to shampoo that often. Which is a total win for me! Besides that, my hair just feels so much stronger and softer. 

I've never noticed such a radical change just 2 weeks after using a product, so needless to say, I am extremely happy with this range, and if you're on the lookout for a solution to damaged hair, I urge you to give this a go and see for yourself! It won't burn a hole in your pocket either! 

Moreover, it costs just 75/- rupees for 80 ml ! Cost is very reasonable. It is certainly working for me.


Coming to Olay day cream,

Many people think Olay is only an anti-ageing solution. Contrary to that belief, Olay has something for each age group (leaving the kids :P)


This day cream, upon a few days of regular use, showed my dryness to decrease. I also felt my dullness to slightly decrease too.

I had used Olay's natural white facewash and I was more than satisfied with it. Although its cost is what it is, they provide products worth the money you pay them.

That is it for now. Stay tuned for more :)

Bio-Oil Review

The Bio-Oil is a new product in the market that is gradually increasing its fan base here in India.

I was a bit skeptical to buy it at first, since it costs 450/- rupees for 60 ml but then I decided to splurge a little cuz I had heard so much about it. Since it is manufactured in Cape Town and imported here, the taxes justify.


The bio-oil claims to contain calendula, chamomile and rosemary oil. It says to help in -scars, -stretch marks, -uneven skin tone and -dehydrated skin.


NOW, I recently got burnt with an iron on my right upper arm ( Don't ask me how :P). I have included a picture of the scar down below. Now, I had read up on bio-oil's scar healing properties and I must say, although it works slow cuz its natural.. but it gives quite sustainable results!


I dont have a before and after picture of the scar so I will show you just the current state, but yeah, I did benefit frpm this. The only thing is, you need to stick to the routine and apply it daily. Twice. And NOT skip.


My scar decreased in radius and most of the skin around is my natural skin tone now.


Also, it smells AMAZING. Not like phenylalanine like most of the no-scar-thingies do..so YAY ! ^_^

Stay Quirky NailPolish : Swatch and Review

Stay Quirky is a relatively new brand in the market but it is quite catching on with the trend.

I recieved a few shades a few days ago :
Golden, maroon and one in black graffiti (shade#39) for top coat.

I have attached a few pictures along for you to get an idea about these shades. Now, im not able to mention the numbers on the other two cuz it dont see them mentioned on the bottle myself.

The brand claims itself to contain the 'golden rule and everything cool' -and from there you can know they do take their name quite seriously. :P

1. It dries up super fast . Infact so fast you might mess it up a bit if you dont apply it correctly, and in swift motions.

2. The shades are abundanttttttttt. You want it, they have it.

3. Reasonable costs!! Costs starting from less than a hundred too!!

4.STAYING POWER
I wrote the upper point in bold cuz my nails went through PHENYL water, and they still didn't fade, their shine didn't lose, and they didn't chip too!! I really am not kidding! Thats the whole point of this blog, showcasing newer brands 'who are worth it'- and trust me, they are!

You can follow them on instagram @stayquirky.in


They are currently available on purplle. Im attaching a few pictures along. On my index and middle finger I have applied the graffiti shade on top of colours(4th picture), and on the thumb I applied it in 1 coat without any other colour so you can have an idea about the colour and texture et all.

The pictures have gone through NO filters.

Seduction Las Vegas Swatch Shade # 17

I woke up this morning to a courier guy who delivered me a seduction las vegas lipstick Shade #17.


Now, surely there manyyyy lipstick brands and shades in the market so whats different in this, you might be wondering. Well, let me tell you.


1. ITS 100% VEG!!

No, really. It contacts pearls and pigments under schedule Q and its major constituents include Castor oil & bees wax !
No dead animal fats on your lips. Eep!

2. It smells amazing! ^_^

Yeah. Due to the paraffin wax.

3. No transfers to your teeth.

The major turnoff for me in a lipstick is when you have to make extra efforts to keep your lipstick away from your teeth otherwise you'll be in red teeth for everybody to see.

SLV lipsticks pose no such problems

4. I wont bullet number now and say everything in one go now.

It contains beeswax!! The creamy texture doesn't dry your lips and I personally didnt feel the need of a separate lipgloss.

Im not a fan of nude shades but it is legit the first time I actually loved a nude shade (#17)!

It is like those good lipsticks my mum used to have back in the days. Nice smell, good stay, proper texture.

They are SO REASONABLY priced.


So, Will I buy off of them? Definitely. No questions. Try them once you'll know why. ;)


You can buy them off of instagram( @seduction_las_vegas) or you can email them at ' customercare@seductionlasvegas.com '

They are on fb too!! Www.fb.com/seductionlasvegas


IMPORTANT -- Mention my name, Priyamvada Singh, and they will not charge you extra money for shipping.

Arent they sweeet?? ^_^

Im posting a few pictures of the shade I recieved too. It goes with wheatish and fair skin tones. The lower lip contains two coats and the upper lip just 1, so you can have a clear idea of the colour.


And hey, the pics have gone through NO FILTERS so this is what the shade actually look like be assured. :)

We're SO weird

Humans are so narcissistic and self righteous we invested a god to take care of us
Then we invented thirty million more
And now we fight over which one's better.

And then we decided that the time wishes are supposed to come true is 11:11 because that's when earth is most suitably angled to lick the ass of one of our gods

And then we invented numbers and decided that some numbers were lucky and some just weren't.

And now we assume that everything in the universe is here to help us and everything is about us. We're literally nothing. We could all die tomorrow, and nothing would change. The sun would still rise and still set, but there would be no stupid teenagers instagramming photos of it with hideous pretentious irrelevant captions.

Then we decided which animals we can kill and which we can't, and which fish we can catch and which we cant, and which birds we can trap, and which we cant.

Then we decided that killing someone was wrong, and we decided to form committees to save people from each other. People started killing people who believed in different fables than them, and we needed to protect ourselves from ourselves.

Then we decided that we'll just divide into over 200 + different fragments and just form borders, and that we could kill anyone who tried to mess with our border, and it would be rewarded by the committees which were placed earlier to prevent that very act of murder.

We decided that somebody dying to save a landmass that we decided to bifurcate was more noble than somebody dying in an accident.

We also decided which disease was more glamorous and which disease got its own colored ribbon. Cancer became the star child of the disease fandom, and kidney failure came last.

We're SO weird.

The Adjective Before Each Noun

There are a certain times, when the need for people to aggravate hatred between people just leaves you appalled.

On the 26th of July, 2014 I opened the newspaper 'The Hindu', for a heads up about what all  is happening around the world. Ukraine-Palestine, Sania Mirza, CSAT.. Encephalitis until one article caught my eye. The article on the last page, placed second last from the bottom.

"Delhi Government School denies admission.."

Oh okay. This population and the kind of competition... it happens. The headline further read..

".. to two MUSLIM girls".

Wait what? They did it on the basis of their religion?  How inhuman!  I decide to read the fullarticle as to why this shameful incident even take place.

To my surprise, throughout the article, there was no mention of the fact that their religion was the cause the girls didn't get an admission.

"The school authorities had denied the aadmission because they seats were full".

Erm.. so that is it? That was all the article was about?  2 girls denied admissions to a school because the prescribed number of seats according to the norms was full?  That is all the article was about? So why the 'muslim' put in the headline?

To spread more anger than already present in the society? The headline was presented in such a way one would think the girls were denied their Right To Education because they called God by other name. Does that mean no child from other religions, castes and sects were denied but them?


But isn't that the rule? Stop taking admissions after the seats are full?

I am sure the two girls didn't want the news to be presented in such a misleading way.

Mrs.Bindu Shajan Perappadan, your adjective of 'Muslim' before the noun 'girls' was not cool, ma'am. Not cool at all.


Journalism is supposed to bring people together,  unite them and bring justice. NOT pull them apart and create a valley between. I don't think being biased towards a certain sect of society is going to award you with any extra points.
