My Experience with IGP:

So when I came across this collaboration with them, I was really excited to shop. This valentine’s Day, I had no valentine, so I thought of shopping for myself. 

I started going to different categories, there were literally so many options, that it took a long time to go through each and every category. Finally, I came across this bag which I really liked a lot. Without any delay, I placed my order. 

I must say my complete journey from searching a product to placing its order was very smooth and easy. Payment was done very securely without any trouble. They had many different options available for payment as mentioned above.

From the time order was placed, I kept getting their mails and messages regarding status update.

I received my parcel within 3 days of ordering it, which was really very quick. Packaging was done very nicely. My bag was bubble wrapped and kept in a wooden cardboard box. Bill was provided inside the box. And also I received a cute little card along with it.

Bag is of very good quality and it is quite trendy which I can easily carry on everyday basis when I out with friends or for shopping.

I totally loved shopping from here and next time if I have to gift something to someone, I will definitely use this site as they have amazing collection and hopping from here is hassle free.

Odiva Nail Enamel Remover Wipes Review

Hii guys,

How are you all doing?

Today I have come up with the review of very unique product which is nothing but Odiva Nail enamel remover wipes.

We girls, love applying nail paints and also love to keep changing it based on our outfits. Using nail remover liquid with cotton is little messy as it spill the color near nails and make it look bad. So when 

I came across this remover wipes, I was really excited to try this out and let you guys know about this.

I have also reviews Odiva Nail paint earlier. Do check it out here.

Now let’s directly jump on to the detailed review of nail enamel remover wipes.

Product Description:

It claims to wipe away nail polish instantly without any mess or spill, anytime and anywhere. 

According to me, it does what it claims. Using this is very easy and you can easily use it and remove your nail polish wherever you are.

It contains Vitamin E which is very gentle on nails and it also nourishes your nails, cuticles and skin.

This is the best part of this nail paint remover. When we use general remover, our nails get dried and appears white, but when you use this, vitamin E provides nourishment and keep it moist and shining.

Directions of Usage:

As I said earlier, using this is very easy and convenient. All you have to do is take 1 wipe and rub your nails with it. 1 wipe is generally enough for both the hands.

You can easily use it from anywhere and everywhere be it your classroom or office or bedroom coz there is no tension of spill or mess.

Shelf Life:

18 months from the day of packaging.

Price and Quantity:

It retails for Rs.65 for 5 wipes which are 100 mm * 65 mm in dimension.

Packaging:

These wipes comes in a black cardboard box. Each of the wipes are separately sealed in paper covers. All the required details are printed on the box.

It is very handy and can be easily carried in your handbag.

Since wipes are sealed separately, it’s hygienic too and can be easily shared with others.

Texture:

Each of the sheets are white in color and rectangle in shape. These are like very thin cotton sheets. It feels little sticky, as it contains vitamin E.

It has little odd fragrance but that vanishes after 5-10 mins.

Pros of Odiva Nail Enamel Remover wipes:

      1)      Very effective as just 1 wipe is enough for both the hands.

      2)      Contains vitamin E which nourishes the nails and cuticles.

      3)      Travel friendly and hygienic.

      4)      Doesn’t dry off the nails neither make it white.

      5)      Doesn’t transfer the nail color in skin around it.

      6)      Acetone free and Lint free.

Cons Of odiva Nail Enamel Remover Wipes:

      1)      Contains chemicals.

      2)      Has weird smell.

      3)      Little expensive as compared to regular nail remover. But seeing its pros it’s acceptable.

My experience Of odiva Nail Enamel Remover Wipes:

As I said earlier, when I came across this product, I was very excited to try it out. And I must say that I am totally impressed with this.

This wipes are very effective as they remove nail polishes very easily. Though they take little time to remove glittery nail paints.

Vitamin E soaked in this wipes nourishes the nails quite very nicely which keeps your nails soft, smooth and shining.

It saves lot of time, as most of the time, I use it in office itself whenever I am free, and then after returning back home, I directly apply new shade of nail paint.

I really loved this product and will definitely suggest you guys to try it out.

Do let me know guys what you think about this product and if you have tried it already.

See you guys next time. Till then keep smiling.

Paint your Lips RED This Valentine

Hii Guys…

As we all know Feb has started and love is in the air. Valentine’s Day is knocking at the door and we all are super excited for it.

Getting ready and looking their best on valentine’s eve is the dream of every girl so that they can impress their partner. And if you are single, still you can dress up and pamper yourself to make yourself feel good.

Red is the color of red and 99% of girls prefer to wear red lipstick on Valentine’s Day coz it makes them look old and beautiful.

Thinking about the same, I have got 7 red lipstick option for you guys which comes under my top and favorite red lipstick. So you can go through it and choose one that you like.

So let’s start with it.

      1) Lakme Absolute Lip Pout Matte (Shade: Raving Red): Matte lips is the hottest trend. So my 1^st lipstick option is this crayon lipstick. It is not very dark red, rather is a very sweet red and gives nice matte look. It stays on lips for quite longer time and is non-transferable.

      2) MUA Lipstick (Shade: Vintage Rouge): This is a quite bold red lipstick which gives nice glossy look. If you are a bold lips lover then this is for you. It stays on for around 2-3 hours but it do transfer if you eat or drink something.

      Check out my detailed review on this lipstick here : Review on MUA Makeup Academy Lipstick

      3)  Maybelline Color Show (Shade: Cosmopolitan Red): This lipstick is very creamy and gives soft red lips, neither very bold nor subtle. Just the perfect red that we all desire for. It has very creamy texture which makes it glides on lips very easily. It stays on for quite long time and is non-transferable.

      4) Blue Heaven Lipstick (Shade: Cherry Red – R002): If you are looking for an affordable red lipstick, then this is for you. It gives quite bold and beautiful red lips. But it does transfer a bit if you eat or drink.

      5) Lakme Absolute Lip Shimmer (Shade: Scarlet Magic): This is one of my favorite red lipstick. It gives very shimmering and beautiful red lips which are just perfect for date night. It stays on for very long time and is non-transferable.

      6) Loreal Paris (Shade: R516 – Lincoln red): This is my 1^st red lipstick and my favorite too. It gives very nice, soft and semi-matte look. It glides on easily and gives very nice finish. It stays on for around 4-5 hours and is non-transferable.

      7)  MTV Muah By Blue Heaven (Shade: LS -08): This is another pocket friendly red lipstick. Gives soft and subtle red lipstick which is good for day time. It stays on around 2-3 hours and do transfer a bit.

So, this were my top 7 red lipstick option, which I prefer to wear always.

Hope this was helpful for you guys. Do let me know which one did you selected for yourself or if you have any other favorite.

Wishing you all a happy valentine’s day. Have a great day.

Thanks,

Travel Blog To GOA....!!!!

Hii All…

How are you all doing…

Sorry for being away since last few days… but I’M back now and I have many new posts lined up for you guys…

As this is my 1^st post of 2017, it had to be something related to my best memories of 2016. So I decided to post my Goa travel blog as GOA trip was the most awaited thing that happened to me in 2016.

GOA Diaries

GOA has always been my dream destination. I had been planning for a GOA trip since 1^st year of my college which was way back in 2011. Finally, my plans got executed in 2016 Dec when my friends agreed for a trip at last.

So as this was a much awaited trip for me, I was super excited and all planning started 1 month before.

From booking travel tickets to hotel bookings, everything was done in advance.

Then the D day arrived. We had booked AC Sleeper bus for travelling from Bangalore to goa. We boarded our bus at 7.30 pm. Bus was well maintained, so the journey became easy for us.

We reached GOA at 8 in the morning, took a taxi and headed towards our hotel.

Our hotel was situated in Calangute area which is a main area of Goa. Hotel was very neat and clean and well maintained. All the required facilities were available. We had booked hotel through Stayzilla.

Now started the exciting part, which was nothing but exploring and hitting Goa.

So our 1^st destination was Calangute beach, which Is one of the most popular beach of Goa. This beach was highly crowded. There were so many shacks where some people were resting and some were enjoying meals. This beach had many options of water sports. We took a boat ride which was very exciting.

Shacks and Crowd In Calangute Beach

Next we went to Baga beach, which is just next to Calangute. This was almost similar to Calangute beach. All the attractions were same. So after staying there for some time, we returned back to hotel.

We rested for some time as we were all tired after bus journey. Then in evening we went to The Saturday night market which is situated in Arpora. We did some shopping there as some things were available in cheap prices but you need to bargain a lot else they will loot you.

Night Life In Baga Beach

Then, we returned back to Calangute and went to beach shacks for dinner. That was the most special moment. Sitting right in front of beach, having candle light dinner and beach waves touching your legs. You can imagine how exciting it would have been.

And just for your information, shacks are not very costly. They have normal price range.

Our Day 2 started with Chapora fort. Trust me, it is a very beautiful place. Standing on top of the hills with beaches all around felt so good.

We spent some time there, then we went to Vagator beach. This was a beautiful beach with less crowd and photogenic spots.

We stayed there for quite some time, then returned back to hotel. Evening we went to Basilica of Bom Jesus church where mortal remains of Father St. Francis Xavier is kept. 

Basilica Of Bom Jesus

It is a very religious place which is very quiet and peaceful amidst of Goa pump and show. This spot ended our Day 2. We returned back to hotel, had dinner and slept.

3^rd day started with Anjuna beach. I loved this beach too as it was also a less crowded and clean beach. I could mostly find foreigners here who were busy taking sun bath.

We spent some time there then we went to Ozran beach. It was a very serene beach. Not very much crowded, neat and clean and beach with some photogenic spots.

We spent some time there, then we came back to Baga beach. We had our lunch in shacks. Then we went to Candolim Beach. This was similar to Calangute with similar shacks and water sports.

Animals Relaxing in beach

As this was our last spot, we had full on fun in water and returned back to hotel. Got freshen up and left for panaji from where we had our return bus from Goa to Bangalore.

And this ended our super exciting, fun filled 3 days’ trip to Goa, which will always remain memorable.

Do let me know if you guys liked my experience. Also I am always there for any Goa related queries. 

If you need any detailed information, do let me know, I will be happy to help you guys with it.
