Shopping Bag from South East (I)

I just came back from a wonderful week long holiday in Singapore & Kuala Lumpur! I'm happy to be back because i missed my friends,my room, my non disruptive internet and phone connectivity (the most) and well my life here in general. But yes, the holiday was super fun too! It was such a good break, these places are great holiday spots..if you like travelling MUST put them (especially singapore) in your list of places to go!

but this blog is about shopping so i'm not gonna convert it into my travel stories (although great name for a travel blog, right !) and tell you about some good stuff I bought there ! so here goes...

one of my FAVORITE purchase-- OPI nail paints. this package has 10 awesome shades which is kool because I can always buy later the ones I like out of these. Also I got 10 shades worth $40 which is pretty kool !..I love duty frees :) 

oh and all of them have such funky names like "tickle my france-y", "cajun shrimp", "I'm not a waitress" to name a few !

Confession: i LOVE Victoria's Secret! i don't own a pair of their lingerie which they are actually famous for, but yes their beauty products are super awesome! I was first introduced to it  4 years back when I saw one of their fashion shows and after that, when someone i new went to states they got me a victoria's secret body lotion..it was called "pure seduction". After that, this is THE only brand i use for body lotions coz they smell like heaven (..seriously !)and are brilliant moisturizers especially when you live in a place like delhi where the winter is all set to dry-kill your skin  so i HAD to pick this one up-->  "love spell"  this is my favorite & i'm on a short supply of it!

 i also wanted to pick up it's new perfume which had a very "Moulin-Rouge" like bottle but as i have Miss Dior waiting in line along with some others i decided to pick up a body mist instead..yes i know..its just a slightly unpolished cousin of a perfume but its good..okay! and would be perfect for spring !

Body mist also had a HUGE variety; different colors, really eye-catching names and off course great fragrances but the weird part was they din't have caps !like none of them..i have no idea whats up with that .but i did like this the best --->

I highly recommend Victoria's secret products by the way, must pick up a few next time you travel !

 Ok this was a lipstick set my mom picked up. This a pack of 3 neutral shades, so should go with most skin tones. the best part-- VERY long lasting and brilliantly water proof, well CLINIQUE is famous for its quality.




I like the names, they sound so nice ! the first one, "all heart" din't appeal much to my mom and she suggested that I use it, off course i willingly obliged ;)


CLINIQUE is thankfully available in India and you must try their other products, basically skin care, as they are really good. I know this girl who used it for getting rid of acne, it was a whole regime of 4-5 products and it worked..so well !

if you live in delhi, you can check out their small little shop in Select Citywalk mall.

 yes the quintessential Apricot Scrub ! I'm sure the whole world uses it. St Ive's is known for its Apricot Scrub among other things. I've been very loyal to this scrub since i was 15 years old. Although its usual variant is available every where in India, even the cosmetic shops in our local markets are selling it, I found this "invigorating" one there and decided to try it.

But an (uncalled for) advice that I would like to give you is that do not use it (apricot scrub regular or any other variant) more than thrice a week. Its pretty strong. and PLS follow it up with your daily moisturizer. I'm no expert on skin care but on this you can trust me.

       the last product, L'OREAL Paris  nourishing shampoo. I havnt seen it in Delhi markets and god knows my hair needs all the nourishing, revitalizing, Repairing etc etc products it can get. Chemically treated hair is a real mess after a year. I'm a living example of that. I bought this just incase. who knows, it might help. When I try it i shall let you know !

More stuff from my shopping bag in the next posts!
