Purplle Sale Haul

Purplle recently had their biggest sale of the year. I had decided to not buy anything since I have way more makeup & skincare than a normal person would need. And like a nitwit I decided to check out what was on offer. We all know how that would have ended & here we are with my haul.



NY Bae x Shakti Liquid Lipstick in Tango Tease

INR 280 for 2.7 ml (Sale price 140/-)

This was the first thing I got. I'm a sucker for good packaging & wanted this from when I had seen it. I got this shade on the recommendation of my namesake Tripti who runs a YouTube channel Anantmaya Beauty. I love this caramel shade.

NY Bae x Shakti Creamy Matte Lipstick in Heel Pull 9

INR 249 for 4.2 gm (Sale price 125/-)

I loved the packaging when I saw it online but in person it's not that impressive. I love the shade though.

NY Bae Nail Laquer, Sugar Effect, Sprinkles Sundae in Plum Yogurt Sprinkles Sundae

INR 75 for 6 ml (Sale price 38/-)

This was the first thing I tried from this entire haul & loved it immediately. The best part of this is that it dries in 5 minutes flat + it doesn't have that typical nail polish smell. It's very much there when you apply but it disappears soon after. The only con is that it chips quite fast.

I - AMSTERDAM Nail Paint in Tenderness of Tulipa Single Early

INR 75 for 7 ml (Sale price 38/-)

Who names these things! It's insane. Nice pretty pastel pink. I can see myself using this all summer.

NY Bae Nail Lacquer Remover in Pink

INR 50 for 30 ml (Sale price 25/-)

With most branded nail polish removers hiking up their prices like crazy I was on the look out for something new & affordable. 25 bucks is peanuts for this. Let's see how we'll it works.

Alps Goodness Face wash in Mulberry & Rose

INR 99 for 100 ml (Sale price 50/-)

I have tried this brand's face masks & scrubs in the past. Waiting to try this one out.

DermDoc Skin Restoration Face Serum with Squalene & Vitamin E

INR 199 for 10 ml (Sale price 99/-)

I wanted to try this brand & something with Squalene. 2 birds with one stone.

Biotique Bio Dandelion Visibly Ageless Serum

INR 230 for 40 ml (Sale price 115/-)

This is one my favourite skin serums of all time. I obviously couldn't pass up on a flat 50% off & decided to stock up and bought 2.

Vayam Ayurveda Eladi Moisture Restoring Night Cream

INR 200 for 30 gm (Sale price 100/-)

One more brand I have been meaning to try from a while. Let's see how it goes.



Aroma Magic Moringa Skin Toner

INR 125 for 100 ml (Sale price 63/-)

Aroma Magic Rose Hip Skin Toner

INR 125 for 100 ml (Sale price 63/-)

Aroma Magic makes my favourite toners & I couldn't pass this up.

Biotique Bio Almond Lip Balm

INR 25 for 10 gm (Sale price 13/-)

JLT purchase

Biotique Bio Berry Plumping Lip Balm

INR 175 for 12 gm (Sale price 88/-)

Another thing I've been eyeing from some time.

Good Vibes Lip Balm - Pinacolada

INR 125 for 8 gm (Sale price 63/-)

Pretty much the only product from Good Vibes that I haven't tried yet.

Good Vibes Hydrating Hand Cream in Cherry Blossom 

INR 145 for 50 gm (Sale price 73/-)

I wanted to try the Nivea hand cream but couldn't find it & settled for this one instead.

Alps Goodness Essential Oil - Tangerine 

INR 99 for 5 ml (Sale price 50/-)

I've tried essential oils from this brand before & loved it. Will be trying this in a few DIYs.


These are the things I simply couldn't resist. If my stash wasn't as substantial I might have bought a lot more. Did you guys shop at the Purplle sale too?

Jan 2020 Empties

I've been toying with the idea of restarting my empties posts. Not that I finish a ton of products but just in a keep track kinda way so I don't end up buying things I didn't like in the first place.

Let's start with all the products I managed to finish in January



Clean n Clear Foaming Face Wash 

INR 150 for 150 ml (got this on BOGO) 

I've been using this for more than a decade & still buy it out of sheer habit I guess. It's a decent face wash, doesn't really help in controlling acne.

Patanjali Body Ubtan

INR 60 for 100 gm

I tend to use face wash just once in a day - at the end of the day to get rid of makeup & sunscreen. I don't really see the point of using a face wash when you only have a night cream on. I love this Patanjali Ubtan, I just mix it with equal quantities of besan & use.

Good Vibes Liquorice Facial Essence 

INR 225 for 10 ml (bought this on BOGO as well) 

I started using this with a lot of hopes of getting rid of my acne marks. Does. Not. Work. I don't know why Good Vibes products are so hyped up. Their aloe vera gel is nothing to write home about either. I will however be repurposing the container.



Decluttering

Getting rid of this Cover girl lipstick in shade Crimson Cat. I have enough reds & this happens to be 5 years old.

That's all for this month. Cheers
