Chumbak- redefining creativity

Hello Beauties,

:) Hope you all are Pink in health.

Today I got back to work with some serious "long-pending" tasks to do list, and this is one of them, I have been drooling over all the products by Chumbak since over a month, but somehow couldn't really share it with you all due to my super super hectic schedule. :(

But now here I am, I am sure you would love all the products I am sharing with you people, and why won't you all of them are super cute, super creative and dirty cheap. :)

So hold back to your seats and enjoy all of them (you can Google out Chumbak store locations later)

But before I start I have to tell you how I stumbled on these gorgeous and artistic goodies. Chumbak has a whole range of extremely gorgeous goodies, from notepads, mouse pads, kitchens, mugs to coasters, bookmarks, gift wrapping papers and even Boxers. :P

And moreover they have a whole range of handmade soaps which are colorful (yeyyyy..i loved colored soaps) and beautifully packaged. I fear I'll end up putting them up on my hall-wall instead of using them. They are super adorable.

I happened to see them on Vinita's blog and that very moment fell for them. :)


A few days later I just got all the info and pictures of all the goodies in my inbox through the Chumbak Page on Facebook


SO here you go enjoy all the gooodies...and you can get hold of your favorite one... :) I am waiting for my next visit to Goa or Pune to get hold of these....I am also linking the location of all the Chumbak stores across the country do check with it so that you do not miss out on them like I did and let me know from where are you picking your Chumbak goodies. :)

Here's the link to the location page. Click














I have uploaded just a few goodies so that I don't drive you crazy and desperate. :P

I hope all you ladies loved the goodies, and I am sure many of you will be rushing to Chumbak stores :)

Miss Claire Eyeshadow Review and Swatches




Hellow ladies….I am back with yet another review. I believe, the price of the product doesn’t really matter, what matters is the product’s quality and results. The high end products are usually gifts and very financially planned ones. 

Today I am reviewing one such pocket friendly product. The Miss Claire Eyeshadow- Black and bronze.

I bought them recently, and guess what on the day when I bought them; one of them fell down and broke. I mean the packaging is still sturdy and fine but the content of the bronze shade, ahem ahem.  Broke. 



Shades: Miss Claire Eyeshadow Black- 0819
Miss Claire Eyeshadow Bronze- 0252

About the product: Miss Claire is supposedly a Korean brand, which just super affordable products with a good quality. They have their own line of almost all the cosmetics.  I chose the eyeshadows, actually I had been looking for these eyeshadow pans for quite some time now, especially seeing them on Gia’s blog.  I love you Gia for sharing them with everyone. 


The Miss Calire eyeshadow pans are almost the size of the one rupee coin. And totally adorable, they look so cute. 



Contents:
There’s a long long list of contents behind the choti si dibbi. I find it totally useless to read, for an eyeshadow, I mean with glosses and lipsticks it’s all good. 

The best ingredient from the long list is the Jojoba oil, yes it does contain jojoba oil and the rest are oxides and sulphates. 


Price and quantity:

Rs130 for 2gms (I got amazing discounts on both the pans, I bought them for Rs 200 means, Rs 100 each)



The shades and the swatches:





Miss Claire Eyeshadow Black- 0819:

The Miss Claire Black eyeshadow is totally a fantasy shade. It’s spunky and chic but yet classy. I mean it is highly pigmented with small specs of silver and blue glitters. It spreads evenly and doesn’t crease at all, I mean at all. It’s a perfect one for all those smokey eyes looks. 

You can easily get your chic looks done with this shade. Not just this, you can also have all your elegant and classy looks done with this pan. 



Miss Claire Eyeshadow Bronze- 0252:



The Miss Claire Eyeshadow Bronze eyeshadow, is one of the sophisticated bronzed brown shades. It has a very fine and shimmery finish. Small specs of brownish glitter give a perfect and sassy finish to all your looks. 

Be it wedding or a formal meeting, this shade can certainly take your make up to a different level altogether. 



What I like about the product?

• Affordability. Too good for their price.
• Packaging, super super cute. I keep staring at the dibbi. 
• The shades are darn pigmented.
• Soft and smooth textures. (The jojoba oil works, you see)
• They blend well. 
• Miss Claire doesn’t really have a bad record with it’s cosmetics, so I can say, they are reliable. (We always tend to ignore the Chinese and Korean brands, poor things).
• All that glitters is Miss Claire. I love the classy glitter and shimmer it has.
• They do not crease. Strictly.
• A good good color payoff, plus a goooooood staying power. They sit on your lids for hours. 
• You can skip applying a primer or a base for them. They look good when applied on virgin lids too.
• No fallout at all.

What I hate about the product?

Certainly, nothing. Nothing at all.
Most of my products don’t really have cons. 

Availability:

You can find them in all most all the beauty stores, and also the shops dealing with imported cosmetics.
Verdict:
A product worth your money and a sure hit for the pocket. 
