Travel // Darjeeling & Calcutta

As evident from my Instagram & Twitter I was in the lovely state of West Bengal for about 20 days to visit some college friends from Calcutta followed by a spontaneous trip to Darjeeling.
It sort of sucks to be back in stewing in mundanity & of course the inevitable heat in Mumbai but c'est la vie.
We can't always get what we want & what I want is to go back to Darjeeling!

Review // The Vellvette Box (February & March)

As I'd reviewed here, I'd subscribed for Vellvette box in January & these are the subsequent February & March ones.

February







 I wasn't too excited about the February box because if you do a quick Google search, almost everyone got the same 3 products. Customised? I think not. 

Contents
1. Figs & Rouge Mint & Aloe Lip balm
2. Purely Pro Blush 
3. Ofra Eye Make-up Remover
Bonus :
"Be My Vellvettine" magnet


It's been more than a month since I got these goodies & I've had the chance to try actually try them out
The Figs & Rouge lip balm is my favourite, I use it almost everyday! It lasts for a long time & I love the way it tingles the lips (I'm weird, Hi!) But honestly, This is the best product amongst all the boxes so far. Love!
I don't use blush that often but when I do, I stick to my Colorbar one. It is sparkly & after application the pink sort of disappears & you're left with sparkly cheeks. I love sparkles but I don't want to look like someone slapped with a handful of sparkles.NO.
I usually line my eyes with an Avon liner & I usually remove my eye makeup with this Avon Face Makeup remover which does a pretty good job. I tried the Ofra makeup remover with a sizeable wad of cotton & my eye makeup refused to budge! Considering that the eye area is pretty delicate, it should take just one swipe or maybe 2 to completely remove it, it took me more than 6 swipes & still there were remnants of my liner on the upper eyelid. Disappointing.

Things I'm Currently Obsessing Over #1

1.  I've never bought Dalhia clothing but this British brand seems to be all over the blogosphere. I can't stop drooling after looking at Dahlia's S/S Summer 2013 Lookbook. This scalloped pinafore is my favourite!



2.  The first time I noticed Sky Ferreira was in the blink & you'll miss it appearance in this Uffie video but it was Sky's music that got me hooked. Very reminiscent of Courtney Love during her Hole days, this new kid is the one to watch out for. She modelled for S' Moda & was featured in L'officiel NetherlandsNeedless to say, she makes me want to go peroxide blonde.
