Purplle Haul

 OK so this one's been sitting in my drafts from forever. By the time I got around to posting it Purplle seems to have had 3 different sales already 😂I have a hard time resisting sales especially the Purplle one. I bought a whole bunch of products I didn't even need back in February in the I ❤️Beauty sale. This time around I was wondering how to deal with the sale when I saw that a lot of offers that didn't even make sense to me. My brain finds it easier to process things like Buy 1 Get 1 etc over Shop for 500 & get 150 off. What is this even? Are you getting a good enough discount? God only knows or probably the math geek does. I definitely don't. Since I'm currently on a "Low Buy" this haul was not even supposed to happen.

I was running out of nail polish remover & was intending to buy only that & how supremely gorgeous are these ones from NY Bae! Anyhow one thing lead to another & here we are

NY Bae SkinFIDENT Erasin' Dual Tone Nail Lacquer Remover in Hibiscus Gin & Blueberry Vodka

INR 68 for 120 ml each

Can we take a minute to appreciate these beauties? I have never seen a 2 toned nail paint remover before & fell in love instantly. Yet to use.

Alps Goodness Dragonfruit Brightening Facial Kit

INR 100 for 34 gm

I do all my beauty treatments at home including facials and wanted to try this one next. I wish it was packaged in tubes instead of sachets. 

Good Vibes Wine Facial Kit

INR 200 for 40 gm

I love wine facials & have tried the kits from pretty much every brand offering them. Fingers crossed.

Rich feel Skin Logix Advanced Night Repair Serum

INR 135 for 25 gm

I didn't particularly need this... It was just sitting there in my wishlist since forever. Felt bad to just leave it there. Ah well.

Alps Goodness Shea Butter Shower Gel

INR 109 for 200 ml

Again something I don't need right know. God knows I have enough but got it anyway.

Are any of you doing a Low Buy or No Buy? What are you doing to keep from shopping? Let me know. 

August 2020 Empties

 

O'range Coconut Oil

INR 219 for 500 ml

Like any self respecting South Indian I love using coconut oil for my hair. This one's manufactured in Thrissur, Kerala & is pretty darn good. Glad I got it 

Fiama Shampoo x2

30 ml each

I have an entire army of these small toiletries which I have picked up from hotels. Trying to use up a few as we won't be travelling anytime soon. 

Clean & Clear Aqua Splash Face Wash

INR 175 for 150 ml

I have used this from years & still love it. So glad they decided to move away from the medicinal smell of the original face wash. 

Fiama Gel Bar Soap in Blackcurrant and Bearberry

INR 65 for 125 gm

I'm loving these. Will probably get the shower gel next time. 

Aroma Magic Vitamin C Skin Lightening Gel

INR 350 for 100 gm

Decent but not repurchasing. Will try to DIY something more potent. 

Dexe Lip Balm in Strawberry 

Love these. Still have a couple more to go through. Meanwhile they seem to have disappeared from Amazon. This is precisely why I always stock up. 

Baidyanath Oli Oil

INR 135 for 300 ml

This is truly a multi - purpose product. I have used it as a body moisturizer, massage oil & even a makeup remover. Works well. I'm just disappointed that it's not a "ayurvedic" formulation as claimed... It's made up of 70 % light liquid paraffin. Still have 1 more bottle of this because I clearly don't know what it's like to buy just one item. Sigh! 

Moha Herbal Lip Balm x2

10 gm each

I HATE this product. It's always in a semi molten state which makes using it hard af. It hardens slightly in winters but it's not moisturising enough for the cold weather. In any case I would have preferred if it came with a slant tip to make application easier. Also the brand seems to have zeroed in on a truly sickening scent of pineapple to flavour this. Why in hell! Since I hate throwing out products I'm using it as a cuticle butter & it works remarkably well. Still have 1 more tube of this. 

Discards 

Romantic Beauty Color Stay Matte Lipstick in 06

3.8 gm

I love these lipsticks. They have the most comfortable formula I've ever used in lipsticks & they also happen to be the cheapest. For some reason I thought it was a good idea to take this with me to the beach. Bad idea! Some moisture seems to have gone in & my lipstick is ruined. 

Kiss Beauty BB Moisturizer Lip Gloss in 5

Another liquid lipstick I loved at first sight. The doe foot applicator just broke after a couple of uses. Have too many lipsticks to try and resuscitate this one. 

Maybelline Colorsensational in Bronze Orange

Pretty ancient & I haven't used it in the longest time 

Streetwear Color Rich Ultra Moist Lipstick in Pink Persuasion

Same as above. Also Streetwear is not a brand I buy anymore 

Pink Magic Lip Gloss

Smells chemically & this shade of baby pink will only suit supremely fair skintones. 

Unbranded lip liner

Don't even remember when I got this. Adios!
