GLAMEGO AUGUST 2018

Happy Friendship Day folks! Show us some love and ‘follow’ us on our blog and ‘like’ our page on Facebook and Instagram.

“Teri meri banti nahin, par, tere bina meri chalti nahin!” aptly describes the relationship that Bob and Lulu have with Glamego. We’ve said this in our Story and here we go again- we shall be putting up ONLY honest reviews even if that means being ‘un-friended’ by certain folks out there :D.

If you’ve read our previous posts on the Glamego box, you’d know that our only grouse with them has been them sending ‘repeat products’ from the earlier boxes. 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.

There are two repeated products in this month’s box. While I was happy to receive the eye mask as I wasn’t subscribed to Glamego the month they first gave that out, Bob wasn't particularly pleased to receive it again. Now, if she had a choice to pick the Nature’s Co. cream again, I bet she’d have been happier with the box.

The products for this month:

v BELLA VOSTE´ LIP GLOSS

FULL SIZED PRODUCT

SHADE: 02 (RUST CRUSH)

PRICE – Rs. 599/-

I have a tube of this lip gloss in the shade Mercier Rouge that I received in the January, 2018 box. I’m not particularly a big fan of lip gloss. I like the Mercier Rouge, it has good colour pay off for a lip gloss and lasts long. The Rust Crush is a nude shade with a tint of dusty rose and is ideal for office and perfect for glossy nude lips when you have a whole lot of colour going on, on your eyelids.

Bob chose the shade Turf Tan (01) and her tube of lip gloss had dried up. Here are pictures of it !!! L

v MONDSUB GOLD EYE MASK

FULL SIZED PRODUCT

PRICE – Rs. 200/-

This is the second repeat product. Bob received this in her December, 2017 Box.

This is a ‘crystal collagen’ eye mask for the under-eye area and claims to moisturise, rehydrate and regenerate the skin under your eyes. It also claims to reduce wrinkles around the eyes making the skin soft, delicate and bright eyes even more vivid!

Can’t wait to try this one!

v VÔTRE SILVER RADIANCE JELLY MASK

v VÔTRE GOLD REJUVENATING SLEEPING MASK

SAMPLE SIZED PRODUCT (30 gms)

           PRICE – Rs. 1200/- for 30 gms

The Votre products are now available at Sephora. The consistency of the Silver Mask is like jelly with glitter in it. A little quantity is to be applied all over the face and washed off after 10 minutes. The Gold mask is a leave-on mask, to be applied overnight. It is creamy with glitter in it.  

I haven’t tried any of the products from the box this time. Look forward to our future posts and we shall review these products in detail on using them.

GLAMEGO- JANUARY 2018

As I got home from office, I let out a big sigh and looked around, getting mentally geared to do the household chores and there it was, lying on the table, the little rectangular box. I twirled around in slow motion (Yes, I like being theatrical). “Fab Bag?” asked the husband. “No, no, it’s GlamEgo now”, said I. 

I took the box to my bedroom and locked the door. I don’t like being disturbed when I am un-boxing. I got my scissors out and went snip-snap. I carried the products to my dressing table and stood before the mirror.  I cleared my throat and the ‘wannabe vlogger’ in me came to life.

The products for this month :

v  BELLA VOSTE-LIP GLOSS

The gloss looks pink in the picture but is actually more orangish and much brighter.

I generally tend to apply lip gloss on my lipstick but this seems to be doing fine on its own. What you see is just one coat applied. The colour is highly pigmented. The gloss doesn’t feel sticky on my lips.

I have a lot of lipsticks courtesy Fab Bag and Fab Bag too lets you choose the shade of the lipstick each month. But each time I get the shade wrong. I’ve been selecting shades with the intention of having each lipstick of a unique shade which I now think is the wrong way to go about building your lipstick collection. Browns and Maroons mostly don’t suit me and yet I’ve been picking these shades as I already have many reds and pinks. So, this month, I chose wisely and picked the MERCIER ROUGE shade which is a pinkish-orangish shade, a shade that looks good on me.

v  BIOBLOOM- FACE RADIANCE OIL

It comes in a 15 ml glass bottle that’ll easily last me for upto 3 months. I got it a fortnight back and have been using it since then. I use it only at night. I put two drops on my palm, press my palms together and then pat it on my face.  Remnant, if any, goes on my neck.

People with oily skin be assured, the product didn’t make my skin breakout and also is immediately absorbed into the skin, not leaving it greasy. Post half an hour of application, you may apply your night cream/ treatment product over it.

The product claims to enhance skin radiance and aid in skin tightening, lightening and rejuvenation, diminish fine lines and wrinkles.  I have definitely noticed skin lightening after I’ve started using this product and by that I mean my tan has lightened.

(Kindly note that when Bob and I say a product has lightened our skin, we mean our skin has returned to its original colour and not turned fairer than we actually are. We do not and shall not endorse/review products that claim to lighten your skin to a shade you were not born into. We do not believe in Fair is Lovely. Brands must market their products with claims of Tan Lightening and not Skin Lightening)

v  MCAFFEINE-FACE WASH (NEEM CAFFEINE)

This is in a 50 ml bottle and is ideal for my travel kit. I have two other MCaffeine products (Neem Face Wash with Aloe and Taurine and Liquid Funk- Shower Gel) I haven’t tried any of these products yet. I’ve sniffed it around 10 times and I cannot pinpoint the aroma to anything specific. It has a pleasant powdery smell.

This product claims to tone the skin with Neem for natural protection.

v  NATURAL BATH & BODY- VITAL NOURISHMENT CREAM

This is in a 20 ml tube. It’s a face cream with grapefruit and vitamin C. It claims to give a lighter-whiter-brighter fix. The mouth is sealed and I haven’t opened it yet as in some products, the expiration time starts once the product is unsealed.

The “star attractions”, for me, in this month’s box were the lipstick and the face oil.
