Inside the February My Envy Box

Happy Valentine's Day my pretties! Sending all of you a lot of love and I hope you are having a fabulous time with your loved ones :). I'm in no mood to celebrate because of my not so perfect health but the arrival of the Feb edition of My Envy Box yesterday definitely cheered me up a lot. 

February My Envy Box

The Feb box is a special Valentine edition and the brand sure did not disappoint. I've always been a fan of the packaging and I love the box that come with the products. This month along with the orange box, there is also an addition of a pouch that contains all the samples. Another great bonus is a coupon that entitles me to a complimentary makeover and consultation from Givenchy's make-up expert! The only hitch is that I live in a city where there is no Givenchy counter :(..booohooooo. I am so so sad to see that coupon go waste.

Other than the coupon, here's what else I got in my box:

• Forest Essentials Sugared Rose Petal Lip Balm Full size - Rs 595
• Thalgo Oxygen SOS serum samples
• Givenchy Dahlia Noir and Gentlemen Only perfume vials
• Rene Furterer Carthame Moisturizing Milk Shampoo sample
• Eminence Organics Chocolate Mousse Hydration Masque sample

I love the selection of products and brands but for me the star of the month is definitely Forest Essentials. If you love rose, this is something you must have! Good God the lip balm smells divine and I just cant stop myself from putting this on. Last month, I got Elie Saab perfume samples but in sachets which I wasn't too fond off. So glad they sent vials this time and the two perfumes smell lovely! One is a men's perfume but I'm quite fond of men's perfume so will use it myself :D. Rene Furterer, Thalgo and Eminence are brands that I have tried before and they are wonderful. That chocolate masque is going on my face tonight :D

I had expected makeup in this month's box so slightly disappointed but the note that comes with the box does mention that they are focusing on getting leading makeup brands on board and we should get some in the next few months. Keeping fingers crossed! I really like that My Envy Box has stuck to providing samples from luxury brands only till date and their selection has been pretty good. Hope they start off with customized boxes very soon. You can subscribe to the My Envy Box here.

Maybelline Valentine Edition InstaGlam Box - Pics

Hiya everyone! Hope you all are doing great. I just came back yesterday from my trip to Singapore where I had a fab time with my family and friends. My elder brother and his family are settled there so I try and visit at least once a year to spend time with them and of course shop to my hearts content :D. Will share pics of the trip and my haul very soon.

Yesterday when I came home, I was feeling quite low because I was missing my seven year old niece a lot and that's when my mum handed me a big box saying this will probably cheer you up. I opened the box and it sure brought a big smile to my face. The box was the new Maybelline Valentine Edition InstaGlam box and it was packed with products I love!

Maybelline had earlier come out with a Christmas InstaGlam box which was excellent but the Valentine's one is definitely my favorite of the two. Why? Because it contains the new Lip Polish and a Color Tattoo eye shadow. The InstaGlam box is available in three colors - red, pink and coral and I was sent the pink box by the lovely people at Maybelline. The box looks so pretty with the pink cover and the see through cut out of a heart. These are the products that I got in my box:

• Colossal Kajal
• Color Show Nail Color in Keep-up-the-Flame
• Hypercurl Mascara
• Color Tattoo in Painted Purple
• Lip Polish in Glam 2

In a pink box, I would have expected the nail polish and lip polish to be pink in color but nonetheless, I love the selection. The MRP of the box is Rs 1300 but you can buy it for Rs 999 at all leading e-commerce portals. 

The InstaGlam box is not only an all inclusive makeup kit, but is also the perfect gifting item that won't break your bank! To the men reading this post, if you are still wondering what to give the lady in your life on V day, the InstaGlam box will be an excellent choice. And to the ladies, who says you only have to get it as a gift on V day from your men. You can always gift it to yourself right? :D
