Shikha Says:

     I got my February edition of the Blisscovered box and I was really happy to see a makeup product included this time. Over all the collection of items were very good and they sent over quite big sample sizes for most of the products. And the box got a make over too :). It is a shiny lavender finish this time around.

     Coming to the products, I got Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Balancing Softener 25 ml, H2O Spa Hydrating Body Butter 30 ml,  CK One Shock Perfume 1.2 ml, Omved Tired Foot Soak 40 gms and Chambor Stay-On Waterproof Eye Pencil in Forever Blue.

Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Balancing Softener – this is something that I have used before and I must say that it is a really nice product. This is supposed to act like a toner. So for people who have problems with alcohol in their toners can use this alternative and it does the job well. This paired with the Brightening Emulsion really helps to even out the complexion and make it glow. Price is Rs. 2850/- for 150 ml.

H2O Spa Hydrating Body Butter – Ok I read few other people’s review of this where they say that they love the smell of this and it had me stumped! When you take a whiff of it then it does have a nice smell but if you continue to smell it and get to the base note it kinda smelled like Fevicol-ish to me (like how it smells when dried). Now the thing is when you have it on your skin after sometime it gives off the base note smell. Could be just me but I’m calling it like I smelt it. As a butter it is good. It is not heavy in nature and provides a decent amount of hydration. I think it is ideal for people with dry skin in summers. Price is Rs. 1190/- for 240 ml.

CK One Shock Perfume – I must admit I’m a fan of the CK One perfume. And the Shock version is pretty good in itself. It is very floral by nature with a touch of oriental which makes it the perfect day scent for summers. It has top notes of passion flower, pink peony and poppy. Its heart is made of feminine jasmine, narcissus, blackberry and dark cocoa. The base consists of amber, vanilla, musk and patchouli.This will definitely be a part of my perfume wish list. Price is Rs. 2025/- for 50 ml and Rs. 2725/-  for 100 ml (there are a lot of online sites where I’m sure you could get it for a lesser price).

Omved Tired Foot Soak – This one I’m yet to try out. But I do like Omved products. I have visited their store in Mumbai when they started out and had bought a hair pack which was packed in those old time ceramic pickle jars. Really cute! Coming to the foot soak – it comes in this assorted salt crystals and has a strong peppermint smell which gets slightly cut by another smell which I’m guessing is the lemon. The combination of the two scents takes the bite out of the peppermint smell and makes the overall effect pleasant and soothing. Price is Rs. 300/- for 100 gms.

Chambor Stay-On Waterproof Eye Pencil in Forever Blue – This is my first Chambor product ever. Ok when I first tried it on I was not happy with the product. I was taking swatches on my skin and I felt that it was very dry and tugged my skin. I then tried it out on my eyes and had to go over a few times to get the color and had the tug problem again. I was ready to write it off. But for fairness sake I tried swatching it again before writing this post and was pleasantly surprised to see that it did not tug on my skin this time. I tried my eyelid again and thought I got a slight tug but it was definitely easier to put it on this time around. So just a little up for you when you go to try it for the first time around. I really like the color. It is a very pretty dark blue shade and it does stay on for a long time. Price is Rs. 370/-

     Well that’s it for the February edition. Do stay tuned for the March edition of the box (what can I say – I’m hooked! 😉 ). Later Divas! And as a parting shot here is a pic of Mickey enjoying the box (I swear he would not let me take a pic without him. He loves to smell the box!).
