GLAMEGO SEPTEMBER 2018

“If we may make a suggestion, Glamego if you really need to send ‘repeat products’ please do give us an option to choose from a range of products so that we may pick and choose the product we’d like another tube/jar of.” This is from our post reviewing the August GlamEgo Box and what do you know!

This month, we got to choose products of our choice. All the products were ones sent in the previous subscription boxes. We also got to pick our choice of box and I chose the one with the “baby animals”.

Product 1 choices – range of Bella Voste Lipsticks, Bella Voste Lip Contour kit, Manna Kaddar Glo Illuminator, Bio Bloom Face Oil.

Product 2 choices – Votre night cream, Nature’s Co red wine gel, Elenblu mascara.

Product 3 choices – Mcaffeine face packs, Vedic line facial kit, Kronokare face spray, hair spray, Bio Bloom body mist.

Product 4 choices – Blossom Kochhar face scrub/ face wash

Product 5 choices – Bella voste nail polishes

Please note that different products keep getting added to the list of choices.

The products that I chose for this month:

v MCAFFEINE CHOCO CAFFEINE GLOW FACE PACK (for oily skin)

SAMPLE SIZED PRODUCT (25 gms)

PRICE – Rs. 359/-

We received this in our February, 2018 box. Bob has also reviewed the product in our post on Mcaffeine products. I haven’t used this product yet but I chose this as Bob used it and liked it. The product smells of cold coffee with chocolate drizzle :p. The face mask is clay based and contains Argan oil and Vitamin E.

v BIO BLOOM FACE OIL

FULL SIZED PRODUCT (15 ml)

PRICE – Rs. 1499/-

We received this in our January, 2018 box. was planning on purchasing a few essential oils and concocting my own mix for my face and then I saw this product and promptly chose it. I an almost done with my previous bottle and would definitely recommend this product. I have extremely oily skin and this face oil hasn’t caused any breakouts for me.

v VÔTRE NIGHT CREME  

SAMPLE SIZED PRODUCT (30 gms)

PRICE – Rs. 1200/- for 30 gms

We received this in the May, 2018 box and this is the night cream that I am currently using. I apply this cream after the serum and before the Bio Bloom face oil and unlike a few other night creams, it doesn’t make your skin oily or feel heavy on your face.

v BLOSSOM KOCHHAR AROMA MAGIC COFFEE BEAN SCRUB

SAMPLE SIZED PRODUCT (20 ml)

We received this is in our June, 2018 box. I have enough face washes to last me a year and then also the Cetaphil face wash that just never seems to get over (!!!) So I opted for the face scrub. The product claims to revive, fight ageing and impart glow.

v BELLA VOSTE NAIL POLISH

SHADE – PERFECT PICK (13)

This is the only product I’m not pleased with and it’s my fault L . I had earlier chosen a maroon shade and after a few days I realised that I hadn’t booked the products from my personal account *eye roll*. So I had to choose products all over again. I had initially chosen the Manna Kaddar glo illuminator but that was out of stock and the Bio Bloom face oil was added to the list of choices. The shade of nail polish I had picked was out of stock and this was the only one available. The colour is very similar to the metallic nail polishes that I already have. :(

Whilst, we’ve enjoyed getting to pick products from earlier boxes and stock up our “resources”, I am hoping that GlamEgo sends us new / fresh products/brands that we haven’t received earlier. Some beauty tools perhaps. *fingers crossed*

GLAMEGO - JUNE 2018

This time GlamEgo robbed me of the joy of anticipation by revealing each product by way of a guessing game on the 31^st of May! Given the trend of my boxes arriving late I had given up on expecting them soon. Yet suddenly on 7^th, I got a text early in the morning telling me that my box would be arriving! Oh the joy! Of course I had to tell Lulu about it but she of course probably just rolled her eyes when I was telling her. (She most definitely did!)

Without much ado we now present you the June 2018 box. The box has a lady with a purple odni covering her head blowing a bubble gum and the tag line reads – “I’m not regular sthri.” As seen in the picture.

The products for this month:

Vért Solid Perfume

This handmade perfume is called “Love Potion” and has cocoa butter, almond oil, bees wax and fragrance oil/essential oil and is alcohol and preservative free. The directions further specify that the perfume needs to be stored at or below 25℃ in a dry place and ought to be consumed within 6 months from the date of opening the product.

I am not particularly a fan of solid perfumes and I asked my mom if she’d like to try it and she nodded her head. As soon as the box came I handed her the perfume.

Amma tried a bit of it on her wrist. It smelt really strong and it smelt of jasmine but really strong. The aroma doesn’t wrap the person the way body mists and perfumes do but when you pass by the person you get a mellow whiff.

Amma says this is one instance where ‘little is a lot’.

SESA Hair Oil

“SESA is a rare combination of 18 herbs, 5 nourishing oils and milk processed with ancient “Kshirpak Vidhi” which helps to remove infection and gives nourishment to scalp and roots.”

I am a little bit of a paranoid ninny. When I picked this product up, the first thing I noticed was “Caution – To be used under medical supervision”. I am used to using the hair oil my mum prepares with a ton of healthy ingredients so I have never ventured out of my comfort zone where hair oil is concerned. That’s why I am a little hesitant in using the product. We’ll of course post a product review in due course.

Aroma Magic Coffee Bean Scrub

            

What caught my attention with this scrub were its ingredients listed at the back – green coffee bean extract, honey and organic coffee Arabica powder. The reason why it caught my eye is because almost all my friends have switched to drinking green coffee! This apparently is a healthier version of coffee.

I am currently using the Aroma Magic – White Tea & Chamomile face wash and am loving it. I love face scrubs too and tend to use them twice a week. I like scrubs that aren’t too harsh and prefer mild smelling scrubs. This scrub has a faint coffee aroma and is not too overpowering and that is a huge plus!

Bella Voste Lip Contour Set (We get to pick a shade of our choice.)

This lip contouring set has two things:

1. A lip liner and

2. A lipstick.

I have never used a lip liner before and this was my first time trying it and all I can say is that it outlines my lips but that’s about it. It reminded me of my childhood where we used the dark colour to outline the details while we coloured the insides with a lighter colour.

I chose the shade Victorian Rose and Lulu chose Planetary Plume. I don’t know why it looks light in the picture but it looks really dark on my lips. I love the shade as it suits my skin tone and I love how people stare at my face :P

I am looking forward to enjoying the lipstick and scrub and we’ll probably do another review on bella voste lip products soon!
