Welcome back
to the Glistening Lane ✨
Do you like
surprises? 😍
For me
personally, Fab bag is one of those
surprises which keeps me hooked every month without fail. As soon as it’s around
20th, I start presuming about things that shall knock my door on the initial
days of the month. This time, my Fab Bag
July 2018 Edition reached me on 02/07/2018 as it was a weekend prior to
that. I love the fact that every product inside is intertwined with a theme
which the brand alters every month in order to keep each bag exclusive. Since
monsoon is officially here, the bag revolves around pampering the skin and keeping
the tresses frizz-free. Without me blabbering more, let’s directly begin with
the unboxing of the July 2018 fab bag!
Theme of the Month: The Gotcha Covered
Price: Rs. 599/ per month
About the Bag:
This time,
we have an amazing waterproof and mood-uplifting bag which has a zip closure.
Also, the bag is quite spacious from inside but it won’t take a lot of space in
your college/work bag. Bags/pouches variant which you will be receiving this
time will be from one of the five colours including turquoise blue, violet,
green, navy blue and mustard yellow. Mine is pink in colour and I like it owing
to its unique design but I had my eyes glued on the navy blue and turquoise blue
variants. 😅😅 In comparison with earlier pouches from the other months, this one
has a good breadth to it which makes it easier if you want to store makeup
products like an eyeliner pencil or a makeup brush.
The Process of Product Selection:
Each month,
there’s this one makeup product about which we are well informed prior to everything,
thanks to the product selection mails by the fab bag team. I genuinely
appreciate the fact that we get to choose the colour or variant from the makeup
options as the same brand/product/shade might not suit everyone. We all have
different fascinations as well as choices, based on which, we get our makeup
product. This time, we have numerous lip crayon shades from the brand MyGlamm. I’ve tested their products
before and I did like their multi-pupose products but the price point abstain
me from investing upon them. Anyways, too many choices got me spoilt and I was
eyeing shades like ‘biscotti’ and ‘cosmopolitan’. Ultimately, I thought that I
wanted something in pink which isn’t a nude-pink but not overtly pink with blue
undertones. I finally came to a decision and chose the shade - Carnation (005). Simultaneously my mind reminded me of that
dialogue from ‘Pyaar ka Punchnama 2’ wherein the lead actress was bifurcating
the shades of pink! 😁
Products In My Fab Bag July 2018
Edition:
⏩MYGLAMM Perfect Curves 2 in 1 Matte
Lipstick & Lipliner - Carnation (Full Size: Rs. 795)
First and
foremost, the packaging of the MyGlamm
lip crayon is so classy with a synchronized colour combination of serene white and
golden. Since I love makeup and lipsticks are my bae, for me, this is the star
product of the month! The texture of this lip crayon is awesome as you can
easily draw your pout due to its initial slight creamy texture but it sets
matte. Unlike other matte lipsticks, you would not feel a tug at your lips
while filling them in. Apart from this, the rotatory mechanism of the crayon helps
in saving the product from hassle of sharpening. In short, the crayon has a
comfortable texture, good longevity, convenient packaging and the beautiful
colour which I picked, that is Carnation,
makes it one of my recent favorites. The shade Carnation is one of those pinks
which can compliment your western as well as ethnic outfits.
For the matter of fact, I applied this lipstick on the next day itself because I loved it so much! 😉

⏩Ozori - Volcanic Minerals Vitamin E
Face Wash (Full Size: Rs. 99)
When I saw
the sneak peek email by fab bag, it said a ‘volcanic minerals face wash’. I
recently bought and reviewed the Jeju Volcanic Clay Mask by the Faces Shop. While reviewing it, I came across the
benefits endowed with volcanic minerals and this is what kept me pumped on
seeing what brand’s cleanser we’d be getting. So, Ozori is a completely new
brand for me as I haven’t heard about it prior to receiving it in my fab bag. The packaging is very basic and
the facial cleanser is red in colour which makes it fun to look at.
Lately, I’m seeing this rage about Vitamin C & E and several brands are coming up with skincare products like serums and cleansers which have one of these vitamins. Apart from having vitamin E, Ozori cleanser is also cruelty and paraben free. I’ve used it twice and I feel it’s one of those cleansers which cleanses your skin gently without leaving it dry; as often seen with cleansers which leave behind a squeaky clean skin.

APS Cosmetofood - 7 Step Kit |
⏩APS Cosmetofood Whitening &
Brightening Skin Diet Kit (Full Size: Rs. 250)
Last month
in my fab bag, I received the exfoliating olive scrub from the brand APS. This time, we have a complete 7 step facial kit
which contains steps including cleansing, masking and serum. It is a onetime
kit but I have high expectations out of it as the product from the last month
managed to impress me. Moreover, APS Cosmetofood products are completely vegan
and they are endowed with only certified organic ingredients. It’s definitely a
good skincare diet wherein you rejuvenate the skin without the use of chemicals.
I’ve reserved this kit exclusively for a weekend when I’d sit down to do an
elaborate skincare. 😉

Aaryanveda Hair Serum |

Aaryanveda Hair Serum - Pump Dispenser |
⏩Aaryanveda Hair Serum (Full Size: Rs.
90)
For a
second, I assumed it’s a sample bottle of the Streax walnut serum as it has the
same golden packaging, although the pump is completely white in this case. Aaryanveda
is again a new brand for me and it’s a great pick for the monsoon season as I’ve
often seen my hair go frizzy like a grizzly bear. However, since I have straight and thin hair, I
avoid applying a serum as it sometimes softens my hair a little too much and
weighing down of the tresses is another concern of mine. This walnut-enriched
serum claims to polish and smooth the hair, leaving it soft and silky. The
fragrance of this serum is hard to explain but it gives off faint citrusy and
heavier notes of sweet chocolate, identical to Mcaffeine’s chocolate face mask.

Fem Anti Darkening Hair Removal Cream - Gold |
⏩Fem Anti Darkening Hair Removal Cream
Gold (Rs. 58 for 30 grams)
Fem is a
well acquainted brand in the Indian market. I’ve used their bleach, particularly
for removing the tan from my hands and feet as I don’t use bleach on my face. However,
this is the first time when I’d be trying out their hair removal cream. I’m
glad that this one is from their anti-darkening range.

HipHop Cleansing Charcoal Nose Strip |
⏩HipHop Cleansing Charcoal Nose Strips
(Rs. 30 for 1 strip)
This is a onetime
use sample which I would love to try but unfortunately I have a nose piercing which
makes it hard to experiment with nose strips. Anyways, I’d try it on someone
else in order to see how it works out. Nose strips are a great way of getting
rid of black heads, white heads and other gunk of the pores.
Total Worth of the
Product: INR 1,322
Total Savings: Approximately INR 723
And that’s about it for
today!
What if your favourite product
