Thanks for reading :)

ONLINE SHOPPING FROM USA ? Confused Where To Shop?. MUST READ..

Hey guys welcome back.....Online US shopping ? Confused where to shop from? Don't worry i'll help you :)

Pic credit-Icon Archive

I dunno where to start from cuz i have so much to tell you guys about my US Shopping and experience with the US websites.This is something which is very important when you are shopping ONLINE from India and you wanna order stuff from the various US websites cuz you dunno anything about their policies.I am saying this by my experience which i had while shopping and at first i was in a search for a post or any article online as to what we are suppose to do while shopping from India or any sort of knowledge about these websites so i don't face any problem while shopping and if i could find something like this ,it would have been really helpful but sadly i didn't find any.I just went in without any knowledge.

Today i am gonna share with you guys my shopping experience with few Us websites cuz i know it would be helpful for some of you guys who wants to shop online from india and dunno which website would be shopping friendly and which one would not .

I will go individually on each website in the same order i shopped from there so you can get the idea about all the websites.Would be Highlighting the website name with the color GREEN for yes, Red for no, Purple for may be.

1.Walmart-As you all know that walmart is a well known place for makeup lovers hence i was sure about there website walmart.com,so i went ahead with this one first.Walmart is a great place to shop for Maybelline,R.T,Hard candy, L'oreal, NYC, Flower, Covergirl, Rimmel, Revlon, Physicians Formula.You can get other brands like wet and wild and milani as well but with very limited stuff to choose from.You can't find Nyx there.The prices are very cheap compare to the other websites.The minimum shipping value to avail free shipping in the US keeps on fluctuating.The time i shopped from walmart it was $50 for free shipping in US and now at present it is $35 for free shipping.

I got two set of Real technique core collection and two of the starter set brushes for me and my sis from there,the first time i ordered and my amount reached almost $45 so i ended up buying one lipstick as well to make it $50 and to avail free shipping .

The prices are very pocket friendly on walmart.com and the shipping is also very quick. My order reached me in max 1 week or so.

I haven't had any issue with walmart.com.It went all smoothly without any hassle despite the fact that i was shopping from India with a Indian CC. So It is a green signal from my side to this website.

2.Elf Cosmetics- Omg this website broke my heart initially after placing the order.Who doesn't love Elf ? I am sure everyone does and so do i.When i saw that elf has come up with some new launches i just wanted to get my hands on them anyhow.I went ahead and after making my shopping list i just placed my order and then after few hours i received a mail from them saying that they have cancelled my order cuz they dun ship to Hotels and Guest houses.I was like WHAAAAT?

The best thing about the Elf's website is that they have live chat support.That means you can have a live one to one chat with the customer support team. After requesting and arguing with one of the C.C.E she firmly said we can't do anything we have such policy Ma'am and I am sorry but we are unable to do anything for you.You can shop from the NEW YORK ELF COSMETICS STORE.That's it and she ended from the live chat.

I was not happy about their policies and customer support cuz she wasn't at all interested in helping us out.
Then the second day we decided to chat with the customer care executive again asking if there is any chance of changing the address so that our order would not get cancelled and we can resume with our order cuz the money already got deducted once we placed the order.

The live chat facility starts in the evening according to the Indian time,the second day when i saw that live chat is open i contacted a C.C.E again and this one was very sweet and cooperative unlike the last one.She was listening to me and the matter very calmly.I said you don't ship to hotels and guest houses than people from outside America can't order your stuff cuz if you are not shipping at hotel that definitely means that only people from US can place the order on the website.Apparently people who are in US for vacations or some conference or any work purpose would stay in hotel they dun have a choice.Then they can't order from your website.What we are suppose to do ? You guys even dun ship to India.So she said Ma'am people order stuff with the shipping address of their hotels and guest houses and their order gets misplaced very easily and we dun want this to happen with our customers, so we are having this policy.She was somewhat right but at the same time it is unfair with people outside US. But then she said Ma'am let me consult to the managing team and i'll get back to you till then you please wait.

And she said i have talked to the managing team and for the sake of courtesy we are ready to ship your order.Finally i was feeling so relieved.

Everyone knows that elf is a great brand with great prices.You can get amazing deals there cuz elf is on sale almost all time around the year.I got few things for me and my sister from elf which costed us around $40 .The delivery was also very quick and and you get many options to avail free shipping,like mentioned below.

-Free shipping with No Minimum Purchase with first time email signup.

-Free shipping on Orders $25+, Code:SHIP25.

-Automatic Free Shipping on Orders $35+After Discount, No Code Needed!

Free or discounted shipping offers are based on $4.95 Standard US Shipping.

I am not sure about the fact that they have started shipping to Hotels or guest houses or not but if you are planning to order stuff from here and want to ship it to any hotel or so,definitely talk to the C.C.E before placing the order.

I am not sure that whether i should give a green signal or red but for the matter of the fact that they still follow that policy so if you are going to order your stuff at some hotel or guest house it is a red signal for you and if you are going to order stuff at your relatives place who is a US RESIDENT or living in a rented house then there is green signal for you.Totally depends on the place where you wanna ship.So its a may be for me..

3.Ulta Beauty-OMG this is one of the website i wouldn't recommend you guys because of the experience i had with this website,specifically for those who wants to shop online from india,or any other country.This is a website which is not at all shopping friendly for those who are not a US Resident,well i'll tell you why.This is the website i was most excited about and when i was shopping and ordering my stuff there was a sale going on at Ulta.com so i added the stuff i wanted to order in my cart ,but after trying two three times i ended up getting my card blocked then we read the shipping and delivery section and came to know that they dun accept international Credit cards,which i was'nt aware of.I was so annoyed with this policy of them,even i asked many youtubers who does US hauls very often on there respective channels but they were not aware of this fact either.My ulta.com experinced was very disappointing and it is definately a Red signal from my side.

4.Drugstore.com-Drugstore.com is agian a website on which you can trust.This website is little pricey comparatively to walmart.com,but this website has some of the brands which you can't get at walmart.com like Nyx and Milani,wet and wild.You can totally trust there delivery as they ship pretty quick.Definately a Green signal for this website.

5.Walmart- Lastly when i could not shop from ulta i had to buy some newly launched products and i chose walmart again and shopped again from them.Totally a trustworthy website.

Time for the exciting news Drum roll moment :D

The exciting news i was talking about and i wanted to share is that when i was talking to them,the C.C.E told me that eyeslipsface.com might start there international shipping to india by the end of 2015.Isn't it a great news for all the elf lovers:).One of my follower on instagram guessed it right. yaaaaaaaas dear they are coming to india according to the C.C.E ;)

So these were the websites and my experience with them.Hope this post would be helpful for you guys ...

Thanks for reading and much love :) xoxo

Maybelline Eye Studio Color Explosion Eye Shadow In Pink Punch,Swatches,Review

Hello girls,

Welcome to The Girls korner. So today i am going to talk about something which is not from India..There is story behind this purchase.My elder sis went Canada a while ago and that time i was not in blogging and wasn't familiar with much brands except maybelline .I was here in india so i was very excited about the Canadian maybelline products .So i start searching things on Maybelline CA website and found few things which attracted me and i asked my sis to buy those things for me..She kept telling what's available and what's not. The things which i asked her to pic were mostly eye shadows and this Maybelline eye studio color explosion range was very pretty and the packaging was very attractive as well,so i fell for it and asked her to pick one from this range as they are very expensive for a drugstore brand. I could only decide by the pictures that which one to get so i ended up picking this rosy purple tone quad PINK PUNCH. I was not into greens and browns and blues so for playing safe i picked this one..So that's the story :P

Let's get straight to the product review..

Product Details-These pallets are called Maybelline eye studio color explosion .Each palette contains four colors plus a coordinating glitter top coat.

Shade range-

Caffeine Rush 05

Amethyst Ablazed 10

Forest Fury 14

Blue Blowout 10

Pink Punch 25

So these are the five color range you can get in this color explosion line.The one i got is Pink punch.Pink punch is a collection of pinks ,a very light baby pink,a medium pink, a darker mauve,a grapey purple and then a sheer uber light pink tone glitter top coat.

Pink punch with flash

Pink punch- In every product range u find some hits and some misses whether it can be the formula or the lack of pigmentation same goes with this product as well.I was way too excited when i first got it.It looks very gorgeous in the packaging and the shimmers in it makes it more attractive,but i have to say i am very disappointed with this product .It is so pretty and i wanted to like it so badly but the color comes out very sheer and chalky ..No matter how light handed u try to apply it,trust me it will give you tons and tons of fall outs ..The pigmentation on this product is pathetic.you will need a very very good primer to make the colors show up a bit.Most importantly the glitter in it is so so gorgeous that by the time you see the glitter you immediately fall in love with it and when u try to use it huh (SIGH) you will realize it's not working the way it should be..You will surly need a glitter primer or glue to make it work...After my experience with it i read many reviews and then i ended up with this conclusion that the other pallets may work better as they seems to be more pigmented but this one doesn't .This pallet specially is a total miss.From a 10-11$ product i expected more but it failed ..

PRICE -10-11$

would i recommend this product-No i would not recommend .specifically this quad Pink punch ..It is not at all worth the price ..

Lipstick REB-01

Maybelline India Color Sensational Rebel Bouquet Lipstick REB01,REB04,REB05,REB10 Swatches,Review

Hello Girls,

Welcome to the girls korner.Today my review is on the MAYBELLINE COLOR SENSATIONAL REBEL BOUQUET LIPSTICK COLLECTION. Maybelline India released a new collection of 6 brand new REBEL BOUQUET lipsticks in there color sensational range.

Shade Range- These lipsticks come in 6 diffrent shades.

REB01
REB02
REB04
REB05
REB07
REB10

I went to my local beauty store to get these unfortunately two lipsticks were not in stock so i could not get swatches of those. I wish they have launched more shades in this line..

Swatches of REB01,REB04,REBO5,REB10

Maybelline Rebel bouquet Lipstick REB1

Packaging- These lipsticks comes in a standard maybelline packaging like the other color sensational lipsticks.They come in cute orange square packaging.There is a sticker on the lipstick which says Rebel bouquet but i didn't like the fact that the print is only on the cover and once u remove the cover off the print is gone.I would have liked if the print was on the bullet(although i somehow managed to cut it only from the bottom part so rest of the sticker can stay intact).These lipsticks don't have names on it rather these have number like REB01.The top cap is all the same color for every shade and the bottom of the lipstick has the number written on a sticker,the sticker is the approximate color of the lipstick u get inside.

Formula-The texture of these lipsticks is amazing they glide on to your lips so smoothly and as i noticed that they are slightly hydrating,they dun dry down.The thing which i liked the most about these Lipsticks is that these are not matte, but they are not glossy either.These are almost like a satin creamy finish.These lipsticks stain Ur lips once they wear off and they don't wear off in patches.They start fading from the center of your lips and these don't emphasize the dry patches or cracks on the lips.They can last on lips for a good 4to5 hours depending on the shade.It takes 2 swipes to get the opaque finish.

Maybelline rebel bouquet lipstick REB01- REB01 is the darkest shade in the range.I Dunno why people dun talk about this shade. I have heard and read people talking about the other shades but seriously its a very pretty and very different red. It's a red shade with maroon undertones that makes it a very wearable.It has tiny golden glitters in it which u won't be able to see in the bullet or in the swatch but once u wear it on u probably can notice the glitters but that's not a problem for me as they are very tiny .It is very gorgeous shade for any festive occasion or any marriage functions.On me i have noticed once u wear it on, it automatically brightens up your face.

Swatches-

This is how the shade looks on me :).I know my camera is not doing justice to this color ..:(

Price- 450-/
Net content 3.9g

Availability-These are very easily available at the local beauty stores and online as well like Flipkart,Myntra,Nykaa

Pros-

Packaging is really nice though it would have been great if the print was on the lipstick
Pretty pigmented
Formula is amazing
These does stain your lips after a while
Very affordable

Cons-

Very less shade selection
Wanted the print on the tube but sadly its on the cover only.
These don't have names.

Would i recommend these lipsticks - YES these lipsticks are very affordable .These are not life changing but yep a good range to pick ur favorite shades from .

That's about it..Thanks for reading:)

Maybelline Iindia Spring Summer Rebel Bouquet Collection 2015- Go Graffiti Nail Polish,Swatches

Hello girls,

Welcome to the girls korner as i told u earlier i am gonna share with u the things which i bought from this collection.So here i am with my Color Show Go Graffiti nail polishes review.
I always wanted to indulge myself into this nail art addiction and after trying so hard i couldn't succeed in that. so for a nail art crazy and novice like me it's the best thing which we can have,to get the excitement and satisfaction of a nail art.These graffiti nail polishes comes very handy not like the other nail art stuff which are time consuming.
so now u know the reason why i was so excited about the go graffiti nail polish range. In USA or any other country u can easily find these nail paints ,but in India we dun have much brands who caters such graffiti or nail art thingies and if they have the price range is outrageous and not everyone can buy those whereas maybelline is a very affordable brand.So maybelline came to rescue and launched there spring summer collection which is called rebel bouquet. If u wanna know the detail u can check my previous post u can get all the info there about the whole collection.

So lets get straight to the review -

So today we are going to talk about the maybelline go graffiti nail polishes.In the maybelline graffiti range u will get 9 nail polishes to choose from.This collection includes 6 versatile clear top coats and 3 gel based or jelly type nail polishes which u can wear directly and you don't need any other nail paint with them being said that ,u can surly experiment with them as well.

So these are the 9 shades which maybelline has launched in this collection.

The four i got are :-

Green Graffiti 804
Flower Power 801
Blue Beats 807
Blueberry Bombshell 806

From L-R (Flower power,Green graffiti,Blue beats)

From L-R (Green graffiti,Blue beats,Blueberry bombshell)

.Green Graffiti 804- Green graffiti is a pastel green shade, it's in a jelly/gel form with medium orange and blue hexes and mini white dots. I feel because its a pastel its a very sheer formula ,it gets dull after a while and if u try to layer it up with many coats it can get messy.Personally i like to wear this nail polish with a base coat whether it's green or any color,depends on person to person .I tried it with its own and with a maybelline green base as well.Personally i like to top it up on a base.

Green Graffiti-804

Two coats

with a base color

.Flower Power 801-Flower power is a clear top coat with micro mini and small white dots with orange hexes and a five petal white flower motives .The flower is bigger in size comparatively to the other hexes and dots that's why its called the flower power.Seriously in this nail polish the attention grabber is the flower it changes the whole effect of the nail polish and you can take them out with the help of the brush or tweezer and place that where ever u want to and because it's got flowers in it this nail paint requires a clear top coat as well so that the flower can stay at its place for a longer time and doesn't get removed. I personally like this one,it's really pretty.

Flower power with Base coat coral craze

outdoor pic

.Blue Beats 807- Blue beats is also a clear top coat with mini black dots and graffiti along with medium blue and black hexes.You can wear it with a base of ur choice as it's a clear top coat.It looks really pretty on.

Base Blueberry Ice

.Blueberry Bombshell 806- This one is again a jelly/gel based nail polish with small and medium neon yellow hexes..I must say this one is really a different one in the whole range..

So these were the four i got..

Likes:-

wide range of 9 shades and patterns to choose from
Affordable and very inexpensive
A handy option of a nail art
sets/dries really fast

Dislikes:-

Removing them is a pain
For some you will need clear top coat as well specially for the one's which contain large motives so they dun get removed quickly

would i recommend it-Yes for sure .They are worth the price and i will surly recommend it..looking forward to buy more shades :P

That's all about it...Thanks for reading :)
xoxo
