Welcome back
to the Glistening Lane ✨
Apparently,
this has never happened before this time, I managed to receive my Fab Bag June 2018 Edition on the last
day of the May itself. Since last 5 months, I’ve been getting it on the first
day of the month but acquiring it beforehand seems like a blessing for sure.
When I came home from work, I saw it waiting for me on its usual corner of the room;
awaiting a marvellous unboxing. The box seemed quite heavy, thereby bloating my
anticipations as to what might be inside. I was aware about one of the products
in advanced as one of the makeup options was selected by me few days back. But the
insights that I gathered from fab bag Instagram account was that the June bag
encompass two makeup options. Amongst these, one of the makeup item is a newly
launched lipstick and the other product was a yet to be launched nail lacquer.
Moreover, the total worth of the bag is more than INR 2300.
So without more delay, let’s begin with the All She Needs Fab Bag unboxing!
So without more delay, let’s begin with the All She Needs Fab Bag unboxing!
Theme of the Month: The All She Needs
Since this
is a women’s subscription bag, the theme of the month revolves around the
necessary products that a woman will need. The idea here is to include
makeup and skincare which is imminently required by one and all.
Price: Rs. 599/ per month
The price for one month subscription is stated above but in case you want a long term subscription plan then the price would be comparatively less.

Products Inside My June 2018 Fab Bag:
When I
unboxed the June Fab Bag 2018, I couldn’t curtail my excitement. Everything
that I received was enough to pump up my enthusiasm. This is why; I tried all
the products the very next morning itself. It was more like getting ready using
fab bag products. Let’s see what I felt about each of the products.
Sugar Smudge Me Not Liquid Lipstick –
34 Merlot Glow (Full Size: INR 549)
I can’t clearly distinguish what led to what but this question will remain a mystery - Did I become a makeup hoarding person after I started blogging or was it my fascination for hoarding that turned me a blogger? π Whatever it is but I feel that certain things are inherited for sure. Sometimes I feel my father would have been a blogger, had internet scribbling picked hype during his days. Anyways, let me just keep aside these deviations and focus on the product.
Sugar Smudge Me Not liquid lipstick was one of the products which was enough to keep me hooked on getting the June Fab Bag as soon as possible. I have a long term subscription owing to which I was given a selection for picking the shade and lipstick that I want. There were options from two ranges of the Sugar lipsticks. One of them was the recently launched crΓ¨me lipsticks while the other range incorporated metallic lipsticks. I already had Sugar’s Brown Crown Liquid lipstick which I got in my March 2018 Fab Bag and I’ve been loving its longevity as well as formulation. Plus, crΓ¨me lipsticks are preferred by me only in winters. So I picked up the shade Merlot Glow which is brownish maroon shade with an amazing metallic sheen. I must mention this that the metallic liquid lipsticks of Sugar Cosmetics are bomb! They have a very soft and easy to glide texture which glides so smoothly onto your lips. Unlike other Smudge Me Not lipsticks, the metallic lipsticks stay onto your lips even after a meal. The best way I feel for applying these lipsticks is to prep your lips with a layer of lip balm and apply one coat of the lipstick. Before the lipstick dried up, you can bloat the excess onto a cotton pad. Otherwise, just let the lipstick do its magic.

Sugar Tip Tac Toe Nail Lacquer – 062 Peacher
Perfect (Full Size: INR 199)
Do I mind another Sugar Cosmetic’s product? Nope, not at all.
I’ve tried their nail lacquers and they dry quickly, preventing further hassle of ruining things around. Apparently, the shade collection that has been included in this month’s fab bag was launched only on 31st of May, 2018! This was the same day when I received my fab bag. The name of the collection is #CandyLand and all of the nail paints in this range are pastel shades that are lately trending quite a lot. The shade I received is 062 Peacher Perfect. It is more like a pink with peach undertones instead of the peach colour dominance. I applied it onto my nails the very same day I got it and the next morning, a male colleague of mine was complementing my nail colour! ππ

Kronokare Forest of Bengal Shower Gel
(INR 140 for 35 ml)
Till date, I wasn’t really a fan of incorporating sample body wash, shampoo or conditioner. Probably, I did not encounter one of those samples yet that'd compel me to go ahead and purchase a full sized packaging. Fortunately, this is what actually happened!
I was already intrigued by the packaging which had an art depicting forests; that's why it had a bird and some wilderness. Post applying the soft formulation of the Kornokare Forest of Bengal shower gel, I realised that as a blogger it is a part of my observation to sniff the product as well. This was exactly when the aroma uplifted my morning mood. I sometimes feel I’m not a morning person but then I’m neither a night person. Probably going office everyday is what ruins my mornings and products like these are definitely useful for people like me. I’m so keen to pick a full sized bottle of this shower gel. It has a beautiful fragrance which is hard to describe but all I can state is the fact that there’s no overpowering sweet fruit fragrance which I genuinely don’t like. The aroma of this shower gel is somewhat subtle yet very different.

Luis & Luth Silver Face Gel (Full
Size: INR 1299)
This is
apparently a luxury product since it’s quite expensive. The packaging is very
simple and elegant at the same time. This is the first time I’ve heard about
the name of this brand.
Since its
summer time, I keep a lot of my skincare products in refrigerator as it helps
in calming any kind of inflammation or irritation on the facial skin. It's a
clear gel which is perfect for combination to oily skin type as it seeps into
the skin very easily and there’s no greasiness left behind. I’ve used it once
and probably after some more trials I’ll be able to comment more on this
product. Till now, I pretty much like it but it is just the first impression.
Blossom Kochhar Aroma Magic Turmeric
Cleanser (INR 57 for 20 grams)

Blossom Kocchar - Aroma Magic Turmeric Cleanser |
Blossom Kochhar products definitely need no introduction and what’s better than a turmeric cleanser for summers when the face turns into an oil-mine plus all the bacteria decide to enjoy and breed acne! This is a sample product and it is meant exclusively for the combination skin. The product claims to deep clean and soothe the skin which it actually does owing to its slightly hydrating/creamy base. It does not leave the skin squeaky clean with slight dryness. If you have an oily skin, then you might not like it.
APS is comparatively
a new brand but if I’m not wrong I did checkout their Instagram and they have
some amazing products in their catalogue. Fun fact about this product – the products
from the brand APS have real food essence in them and they are completely
organic in nature. When I tried this scrub, I was dreading an oily base since
the product name specifies olive. Fortunately, this scrub has such an amazing
texture and formulation that being an oily skinned person; you’d want to invest
into a full sized product. Unlike granular scrubs, this scrub has micro beads
for exfoliation which does not aggravate any skin irritation or acne. It is
quite gentle onto the skin and leaves the skin healthy without the traces of
greasiness.

Final Verdict:
Overall, I’m quite impressed with almost
every product that has been added into the bag this month. In fact, the bag
itself is quite sturdy and available in pastel shades. Moreover, even the
samples incorporated were quite fascinating. Also, what more can you ask for
when you’re getting two makeup products each month.
Team TGL Says:
My personal expectation from a
subscription box is - To receive products, even if it’s in a sample size format
but those samples should be in a way such that they seem worth the money spent each
month! This is truly what the team of Fab Bag managed to conquer with the
curation of June 2018 Fab Bag.
Fab Bag - #TheAllSheNeeds is a great
hit in my opinion!
Your pictures are stunning as always my dear...<3..<3...I really need that lipstick in my life...awesome...
