As
I got back home from a birthday party, I saw the Nykaa box lying on my coffee
table and immediately set to work. (AD had made a shopping haul request and we try our
best to oblige our readers’ requests).
I
love green and look at the products, they are all green! Tadaaa....
Most
of my online purchases would rarely constitute a haul as I generally purchase
only what I require and my purchases are never on a whim. But this time I went
crazy. Oh yes, I did and I bought five (you read that right, FIVE) items. You
wouldn’t be rolling your eyes if you knew me well.
I
purchase almost all my skin care and makeup products from Nykaa.
I visited the site with the intention of purchasing just neem oil and over a
period of one week, added 4 more items to the cart. (I had to wait for Glamego to announce their June products as somehow the Glamego box always ends up having a
product similar to my recent purchase).
I
shall post a detailed review of each product once I’ve used it for a
considerable period of time. Here’s a quick look at my purchases.
1. KAMA AYURVEDA-ORGANIC, COLD PRESSED NEEM OIL
Quantity:
200 ml
Price:
Rs. 795/-
I’d
seen a review of this product on YouTube long back but refrained from buying it
as I am not comfortable applying oil on my face. (I have super greasy skin).
The last week Shugu couldn’t stop raving about this product and though she has
a different skin type from mine, I went ahead and purchased this product.
Now,
there are cheaper neem oils available but I love this brand and was keen on
trying this one. If it doesn’t suit my skin, it can also be used as a hair oil
or body oil. There are great reviews of it online as a hair oil.
2. IT’S SKIN - POWER 10 FORMULA VC EFFECTOR FACIAL
SERUM
Quantity:
30 ml
Price:
Rs. 950/-
It’s
Skin is a popular Korean brand and this has been on my wishlist for quite some
time. I got a 15% discount on this item and I promptly put it in my cart.
I
have wanted a Vitamin C product but as I have acne prone, sensitive skin, I
have refrained from purchasing products with Vitamin C. A quick research on the
net revealed that this serum is milder as compared to other Vitamin C products
and hence ideal for sensitive skin too.
3. ORGANIC WELLNESS HEAL - AMLA C+(VITAMIN C SUPPLEMENT)
Quantity:
90 capsules
Price:
Rs.269/-
I
believe that prevention is better than cure. With the onset of monsoon and with
all sorts of infectious bacteria and virus floating around, I bought myself
this Vitamin C supplement. I usually take only physician prescribed supplements
but hey, I was on a haul spree ;).
This
supplement claims to boost immunity, reduce stress, enhance digestion and
purify blood.
4. ACNES TREATMENT POINT GEL
Quantity:
10 gm
Price:
Rs. 225/-
I
got the Acnes facewash in the May Glamego box. (I haven’t used
that yet). Acnes is a Japanese brand and apparently is the leading acne care
brand there.
It
was either this product or the Nykaa Tea Tree Oil. I chose this. I hope this
product works.
5. NYKAA MATTE NAIL POLISH –KEY LIME SLUSH
Quantity:
9 ml
Price:
Rs. 199/-
I’ve said this earlier;
I love Nykaa’s range of nail polishes. I have tried their matte nail polish and love it. I can’t wait to try this one and put it up on our
next instalment of nail polish colours. Here’s a sneak peek of what the colour
looks like.

And
that was my “haul”.
P.S:
I set to “work on this post” IMMEDIATELY after removing my makeup. I shall
write a post on my makeup removal routine soon.
P.P.S:
A day after I wrote this post, the Nykaa nail polish fell from my cupboard and
broke, splattering neon green across the flooring and my feet. And I never even
got to use it L
