I wish you guys could see my excitement when i am writing this post.Although i do hauls very frequently on my blog but this time it is something very special because it is my Birthday Haul and moreover it was a surprise gift from my sister.

If you guys dunno my sister lives in Canada so when she came to know that someone is visiting India she being a smart and sweet sister immediately bought some stuff and sent it to me as my birthday gift.So without further a do let's get started and see what all i got :)

Huge 2016 Birthday Haul -Surprise Gifts From Toronto Canada

Let's see the stuff i got from India first because there are very few things i got and it's apparently less than the Canadian stuff so let's go over these quickly so that we can move to the exciting stuff :D

Huge 2016 Birthday Haul -Surprise Gifts From Toronto Canada

1.Palmer's Cocoa Body Butter Formula-Since winter season is here i wanted something very hydrating for my skin and because i have tried Palmer's cocoa body butter before i knew it would be good so bought the full size of it and the one thing i really like about this body butter is that it legit smells like white chocolate bar and who doesn't love to smell like a chocolates thus made this purchase.

2.Yves Rocher Hydrating Micellar Water 2 in 1 - I have heard about Micellar waters a lot but never tried them. Since i have dry skin i wasn't sure about how it is gonna work on my dry skin but when i saw this Yves Rocher Hydrating Micellar water 2 in 1 ,it instantly attracted me towards it because it says it's a hydrating micellar water and being a dry skin gal,what more i can ask for.

3.Batiste Dry Shampoo-Dry shampoo is also another one of those things which i wanted to try for the longest time but was very skeptical about them since at the end of the day they are chemical based products and recently i am facing a very bad hair fall so did not want to take a chance but after seeing this mini dry shampoo i thought to pick it up to see how it is going to work on my scalp and is it worth buying in the full size or not because i have a heard a lot about this dry shampoo,will use and keep you guys updated.

4. Nykaa So Matte Lipstick Mischievous Plum- I got this lipstick for my mom,she loves to wear deep and dark shades like burgundy ,wine,deep purples,deep maroons.This is a deep purplish plum shade perfect for her.First of all lemme tell you that these are not so matte as they claim it to be,this is more like a satiny matte formula with a slight sheen to it and i did not mind it being a satin matte formula since it is very appropriate for this weather.In winter time our lips get dry and chapped so easily and matte formulas can look very off on dry lips and doesn't feel comfortable at all,so i purchased this lipstick mainly because of this formula and color,very appropriate for this weather.

5. New Lakme 9-5 Weightless Lip & Cheek Mousse- Lakme recently launched a lip & cheek mousse in their 9-5 range,it's something which can be used on lip and cheek both and that is the thing which intrigued me the most so i bought the shade Plum Feather which i thought would suit my skin tone the most and would be perfect to use as a cheek stain as well.

1. Colourpop -This is not a surprise gift ,we decided and bought it together,i knew that she is going to come in January so wanted to make some use out of the free international shipping which they had recently,since i wasn't sure about it getting delivered to my place safely so we went ahead and ordered it at her place in Toronto and luckily it reached safely without any hassle.

Guess clutch & Bracelet- This was one of those things which she sent me as my surprise birthday gift.She bought a guess handbag a clutch and a bracelet but because of the space problem she couldn't be able to send me the handbag but she managed to send me the clutch and bracelet.I just love the bracelet it has a lot of bling bling with a magnetic closure,the clutch is also amazing and very spacious.

5.The Body Shop Canada-She also got me some TBS products but they were heavy since i asked her to get some stuff from the Tea Tree range and because of the weight issues she couldn't send me those ,the people who got my stuff did not have much space and since they were supposed to courier me the stuff from NCR ,so it wasn't practical, hence she sent me the stuff which she was able to fit in the box.

If you've been reading my posts for sometime ,you might already know that how much i am into organic and Natural products ,i enjoy using natural products a lot more than any other products.Today i am going to talk about another Natural and Handmade Soap from the house of Soul Pure.

Soul Pure Lavender Mint Color Splash Handmade Soap Review

Soul Pure is a Bangalore based company ,they make a wide range of Handmade soaps,not only they are Organic,Natural,Handmade and Paraben free but they have a very unique kind of formulation which helps their soaps appear more beautiful and unique than any other soap available in the market.Their soap looks really beautiful with all the bright colors blending into each other and making a unique pattern,initially i didn't want to use it,but it is not possible to review anything without using it.Jokes apart but you will see what i am talking in a while and decide for yourself that it is beautiful or not.This brand is available on Facebook and Instagram and they have their website as well ,so if you want you can contact them through these social media platforms,i will link them below so you can check yourself.

The one i got is Lavender Mint Color Splash Soap and it has wavy pattern going on,in diffrent colors like green,lavender,pink,yellow which looks really beautiful.It comes wrapped in a transparent plastic wrapping, with all the detail written on a paper at the back of the soap,simple and basic packaging nothing fancy.

Soul Pure Lavender Mint Color Splash Handmade Soap Review

Since the soap is a blend of all natural products it feels really creamy on the skin.It foams up quite nicely and the foam also feels creamy and smooth.The smell of this soap is not very appealing to me but it's not bothering by any mean,this is a natural product so their is no artificial scent to it,so all you get is a blend of all the natural ingridients present in it and i am completely ok with it.The soap does not feel drying or harsh on the skin,initially the shape of this soap makes it little diffcult to hold in hand while rubbing on the skin,because it's square in shape so it is diffcult to get the grip ,but as you use,it will be ok.

Overall it is a very nice soap feels nice on the skin and most importantly it is 100% Organic and Natural.The only thing which i had problem is the shape,it is very square and the edges are blunt so it is hard to get the grip initially but as you go and use it more the edges will become smooth and easy to hold,another thing is that i am not sure about the price of the product ,since it is a PR sample  and the product is not on their website as of now,and the other soaps seemed little expensive to me,but you can contact them through their Instagram and Facebook and ask them and decide for yourself, also they have their own website where you can contact them which i am gonna mention down below.If you are more into Organic and Natural Handmade products you can definitely try their soaps,they are very diffrent than other usual soaps.

Quantity-100 gms

Texture of this primer is very smooth and it has a thick mousse like consistency,the primer does have a slightly pink colour to it but it doesn't make your skin look white or leaves any kind of residue on the face.Once you have the primer on the skin feels smooth as it claims.The texture feels very siliconi and has a demi matte finish,once you apply it on your face it turns into a powdery matte finish and takes away all the sheen and shine from the skin.The thing i feel with this primer is that since it has a demi matte finish it feels little drying if you have dry skin.The primer doesn't feel oily or greasy at all so for oily people it is a very good primer but for people like me who have dry skin they will need a good moisturizer underneath this primer so that after applying the foundation the skin does not feel drying because it is a very mattifying primer. 

L'Oreal Base Magique Primer Review & Picture

I don't have large pores but i feel that it definitely reduces the appearance of pores because i feel my skin was looking more even on the side i had used this primer than the other side,even though this primer has a thick consistency it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. It is very good in holding your makeup in place,i used it for around 5-6 hours and it did hold quite well.Once you have this primer on you will notice that the foundation glides on easily and effortlessly and stays in place for a longer period of time.

L'Oreal Base Magique Primer Review & Picture (As you can the skin is looking completely matte after blending)

Overall i am quite happy with this primer,it's a good primer which is easily available in India.The few things i don't like is that it comes in a jar form so you need to use a spatula or a small spoon to scoop out the product because it is very necessary to maintain the hygiene in your makeup products because your skin is more important than anything.Another thing i feel is if you have dry skin make sure you are using any hydrating moisturizer underneath it because it's a mattifying primer and if you have dry skin it can make your skin look more dry after putting the foundation on.Although this primer is very nice but it is expensive so make sure you buy it when it's on discount.

Quantity-15 ml
