Fab Bag August 2018 - Own the Glam - Unboxing |
“Surprise is the greatest gift which life can grant us.”
Do you like
surprises?
I bet, you
can’t say no to that.
Surprises
are one of those quickest means of breaking the monotonous patterns of our lives.
When I come back home from work, finding a courier onto my bedside table is
what pumps up my excitement level. And this is exactly what happened on the
evening of 31st of July. I kinda had a hunch that I’d receive my fab
bag earlier this month, but getting it before the month actually starts, feels
amazing! So without more jibber-jabber, let’s begin with the Fab
Bag August 2018 unboxing.
Theme of the Month: Own the Glam
When I think
of the phrase “own the glam”, my mind
draws an imagery of a glamorous girl. Therefore, I interlinked the theme with
my expectations of having makeup products.
The Process of Product Selection:
As expected,
we have one of star products from the brand Sugar Cosmetics! 😍😍
Few days
ago, I was sent a product selection email from the team of Fab Bag. Therein, a total of five products were available, along
with majority of their shades and these products were: Sugar’s Blend The Rules Eyeshadow
Quad, Sugar’s Gloss Boss 24 Hr Eyeliner - Back In Black, Sugar’s Goddess Of
Flawless SPF30+ BB Cream, Sugar’s Contour De Force Face Palette Shade 02 -
Vivid Victory and Sugar’s Matte As Hell Crayon Lipstick. Initially, I
was inclined towards picking up the eyeliner but this was a gloss variant and I
prefer my eyeliners matte. Owing to this, next I decided to pick up their base
makeup product, that is, the BB cream. Nonetheless, my shade wasn’t available
and two shades which were available were meant for medium to dusky skin tone. I
had their quad already and even though I loved its pigmentation, I finally
managed to pick up the Countour De Force Face Palette in the shade
Vivid Victory. There were no colour variants and I love to stock up on
bronzing powders as I tend to use them a lot.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are a one month subscriber, you will receive Sugar’s Matte As Hell Crayon
in a random shade. No product selection email will be sent over.
Price: Rs. 599/ per month. However, you can
get it at a subsidized rate if you invest upon a long term subscription or
remain hooked onto their social media channels wherein they often declare
coupon codes for 10-20% discount.
About the Bag:
If I haven’t
told you this before, I have a lot of Fab Bag pouches which I like to hoard for
keeping my makeup, especially when I’m travelling. Whenever I have shoot days,
I have 2-3 Fab Bag pouches in my backpack which encompasses different things
like skincare, jewellery or makeup. So, for this month, the pouch I’ve received
is pink and blue in colour. The bag is pretty simple and its height helps to
cater a lot of storage space. For a better understanding, please refer to the above given image.
And here’s a
complete breakdown of the products which I received in my Fab Bag – Own the Glam
edition:
Sugar Contour De Force Face Palette –
02 Vivid Victory (Full Size: INR 799)
For me
personally, this has to be the star product for the Fab Bag – Own the Glam
edition. I have had the mini bronzing powder from this brand in one of the
bygone fab bags; and I was pretty happy with its pigmentation as well as
lightweight packaging. This is one of the reasons why I went ahead and picked
up the complete palette. Moreover, my mini bronzer might be hitting the pan
soon so I considered it as an opportunity for stocking up on my makeup
products. P.s. it’s hard to find an affordable matte bronzer in the Indian
market. Therefore, I love this one! Also, this palette comes with a
small rectangular mirror too. Now about the colour, this palette has a bronzer
which will go well for fair to medium skin tone. The highlighter shade is
simply bomb.com!! (disclaimer: Figure of speech and not an actual website). And the blush, I feel, will go really well with ethnic looks.
The best part reserved for the end, the pigmentation is really amazing! These
powders are so buttery soft to touch which makes them blend really well onto
the skin, without making the makeup appear blotchy. 👏👏

The palette is superbly pigmented! 😊 |
Mond’Sub Skin Beauty Collagen Nose
Mask (Full Size: INR 200)
I’ve tried
mondsub products in past because they are pretty much available in every other
subscription box. If dryness is one of your major concerns then you can
definitely go ahead and try their facial masks. Till date, I’ve not tried any
of the nose sheet masks. I hope it does not constantly slip off from my nose.
Still excited to try it out though. 😊
Biobloom Face Moisturizer (INR 150/-
for 50 ml)
Lately, I’ve
been getting a lot of acne, particularly in the cheek and chin area. Post
ointments, I’ve noticed that my skin has developed weird dryness around these
region and peeks out a little too much if I apply a foundation. When I first
saw a face moisturizer, I was slightly disappointed because I have an oily skin
type and a lot of the cream based moisturizers leave behind breakouts. I’m yet
to try this on my face but when I checked the consistency of this product, it
felt really lightweight and easy to absorb into the skin. It also has a
fragrance of vanilla which lingers on post application. I hope it works well
for my skin; fingers crossed.

Other details stated on the packaging |
Fuschia – Pomegranate Pearls
Exfoliating Face & Body Exfoliating Scrub (Full Size: INR 250/-)
I don’t
remember how I have this product already present in my skincare closet; few
Delhi events are responsible for this I believe. I met team of Fuschia during
two to three events and they were kind enough to provide us with few samples.
The Pomegranate Pearls Exfoliating Face and
Body Exfoliating Scrub has a beautiful fragrance. It somewhat reminds me of
a bubble gum. Moreover, the scrub has comparatively less exfoliating beads
which gives a mild scrubbing experience.
Lastly, I wasn’t too blown away by this month’s curation, particularly for the brand selection in the skincare category. But I hope things are intensely amazing in the next month. 😊

That's about it for today! 💓

ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteThis month's Fab Bag is kinda disappointing, especially the skincare stuff. Counting a nose mask to be a product is worthless :( And Fuschia scrubs have appeared loads of times already.
