I was running short of some of my essentials so I thought I’d pick these up. 
Blossom Kochhar Almond Under Eye Cream: Since I keep giving away my tubes to my mom, I had to buy one for myself. I already have my Fab India Under Eye Gel which does nothing more than cooling my under eye area, I needed this one.

Lotus Herbals Safe Sun Sunblock Cream SPF 30: I have been using Lotus sunscreens for years and I keep coming back to them one after the other. This one says Indian Summer Formula. What else do I want? I wanted to buy the sunscreen spray that HD once mentioned about but couldn’t find that so I purchased this one.

But they have become expensive now, we used to buy these for 40-50 bucks back then.

.-= ki.´s last blog ..The worst makeup shopping experience ever =-.
cute li’l haul..
Waiting for the Revlon lippie swatch :-)
he he all essentials. WIll show you the swatch tomorrow. I am excited about the lippy.
Nice haul..!!! im totaly buying the colorburst lipsticks.. i fell in love with the packaging when you first told me about them..!!! and i havent yet bought the under eye creamm…. i want to go out nowwww.!!!!!
I instantly bought the colourburst lippy. Was waiting for them so eagerly.
Hey, Priyanka there you are…I was watching out for you :-P
:-P :-P :-P …..Me and Rati are first and second in the reservation queue….please let us bring our own eatables….I and Rati will take the front row seats………may be Ki and Mrun also will take the first row ?:-) …will have to ask her.
Hey Rati, let me know how the lip balm tastes and I am waiting for how the peach color turns out. I want to know how you apply Kajal, I have the lakme one….but it always smudges out. Do you already have a tutorial on your blog about applying kajal….can you give me the link? :-)
I am front row and middle seat… I’ll be the one with popcorn in her hand!
.-= ki.´s last blog ..The worst makeup shopping experience ever =-.
Ok Jomol fine… your seats are now reserved for sure.. please bring in some melted chocolate, whipped cream and eatable lingeries along..
Ki sorry no popcorn allowed..!!!!
i want Samosas… Especially at priyanka’s show…
Thanks to her i hv not eaten one since last almost two months!!! :reallyangry:
Me too. Sigh!! I’ll share with you. Get in bulk.
And application is hardly the key jomol… that just involves pressing your waterline down so that it shows and you can line it :-)) Rati the guru does it in all videos :-D
Invest in a nice kajal… I find that the herbal ones smudge a lot. I use the MAC smolder pencil but a cheap and great alternative is streetwear :-))
Sorry Rati, I’m giving faltoo advice on your blog! :-P
.-= ki.´s last blog ..The worst makeup shopping experience ever =-.
MAC smoulder doesn’t smudge on your eyes? The teddy kohl that I have, doesn’t.And I am no guru. he he
Nope, not at all! :O
.-= Ki´s last blog ..The worst makeup shopping experience ever =-.
oh wow!
I know, we’ll get some diet chips and diet coke.
And we’ll munch and gossip. 
Applying kajal is pretty easy. As Ki said I use it in all my videos. I don’t pull my underarea down,i just lightly press it inside. This way you are able to see your water line and aply kajal. To set it either I apply colorbar black eye pencil n my lash line or apply a black eyeshadow underneath. This keeps my kajal unsmudged for long. Although I would say that I am lucky that as it is kajal does not smudge on my eyes too much.
Ki lol!!! You took the away key seat.
I know, right?
and I’m bringing whipped cream 
.-= Ki´s last blog ..The worst makeup shopping experience ever =-.
What?? You are thin, atleast I am not and I would be tempted to eat it. WTH?
Whipped cream not allowed. 
oh and regarding the lip blam, have used the potted version for years and liking this already. Applied the balm at 8:30 and my lips are still moisturized at 10:45.
KK i need to get some lotus stuff soon!!!!!!!!
You won’t be disappointed.
Wow… Bare Essentials…. :laugh:
That brush is so cute…
Waiting patiently (???) for the LIppie swatch….
asap tomorrow.
Hey I have a blue mani-pedi brush very similar to that one! :giggle:
How does the Colorburst lippie smell??? Afraid of Revlon lippies now :-((
Cute haul! LOL at clicking q-tips :-D
♥xx♥
I used this brush today on my feet and I quite liked it.
I just clicked everything that i bought. loll!!
I have the exact same foot brush
I too saw these Revlon lippies. Really liked the one in Rose shades, but found them to be a lil expensive at 550..
Will wait for your review before getting these
Yeah, the brush is hard and nice.
The shades are very pretty in this range. Will review it soon. 
WAH ! great buys, cant wait to see e Revlon Colurburst Lipsticks swatch and your pout
.-= sarah´s last blog ..Luscious Lip Couture- Sneak Peak =-.
he he .
Will do that. 
Hey rati,
How is the LOTUS LIP BALM?? ?:-) i never tried before nor did i tried the kajal, planning to garb both ….
Sush,
I am already liking the lip balm. It does not have a strong or any delicious flavour but I would say after many days I have found a lip balm that i s keeping my lips moisturized for hours at ago. Me
with it. 
mmmmmmm
i got colorbar nail thingies long back
stupid me ….i wanna review that
cuticle oil is same copy of lakme so did not buy
oh really!! i have seen them here for the first time.
nice Haul Rati, I want the eye cream too, have’nt been able to locate a place that sells nearby tho.. so I bought the lotus eye gel, I also bought the kajal, I really like it coz its a black black and doesnt smudge my eyes (at least for 4-5 hrs), I wanted to get the lip balm but I forgot, sigh!
I also bought the Kama cleanser you recommended, I love it but I use it like gold coz its rather expensive for that quantity :-D, Im thinking Ill get the body cleanser next time too..lets see..not sure how much that is tho
Hi Renuca:
oh wow!
I also love my kama cleanser. It is so natural and it removes all my black heads and dead skin. How is the lotus eye gel? I also found that Lotus kajal smudges the least among all the kajals that I have tried so far. It feels good when you guys buy the products that i recommend and also like it. 
Kama body cleanser is for Rs 275 200 ml
I am a great kajal freak and absolutely love them on my eyes
.-= Rachana Kothari´s last blog ..Daal Bati =-.
we Indian girls are so addicted to kajal no?
well, what can I say Rati? ur a go-to person for makeup and skincare now.. especially for stay-at-home mommies like me who do not have the luxury of time or money to spend on exploring the cosmetic jungle out there
… ur a blessing 
I have just started using the eye gel over the weekend so cant really comment, but it feels good on the eyes.. and I only bought it coz lotus’s other pdts reviewed here were recommended so I figured it shd be good too..lets see
have u tried the kama body cleanser too? thx for letting me know the price :-)
I haven’t used the kama body cleanser yet. I have some bath and body products to finish up already buy i have my eyes on it already.
ladies i have a question. ?:-)
wat is the best way to wipe out the kajal.every time i try to do so i end up with dark circles around my eyes. i tried wit almond oil too bt didn’t help much, :-((
If any boby have a better idea kindly suggest….
olive oil + rose water. then wash your eyes with water and gently swipe the cotton swab on your eyes. It cleanses every last bit of your eye makeup.
thx rati. wil try up & let u know..
okz.
Gr8 haul!!!! u didnt find that spray??? strange…my spray is abt to get over and I was thinking shud I re-buy lotus or try some other sunscreen….u have any better alternative?
I m loving the Lotus kajal….its soo cooling for the eyes and the lip balm too….I have in cherry so it gives a nice pink tint to the lips too…..at times I just apply that, no lipstick and it looks nice :-)
No I didn’t get that spray.
I don’t know about the alternative. I keep coming back to these. I have used some other sunscreens in past and other than getting sunburns I have got nothing else. 
So I keep coming back to Lotus only because It suits me pretty well. You may try Blossom Kochhar Sunblock SPF 50.
I love the Kajal, it’s my HG. And loving the lip balms also. They are so moisturizing.
The vanilla one is not super yummy buy it has a nice subtle flavour to it and now I want to explore the full range he he. Will pick up cherry and chocolate. :-D
hmm….Guess will try BK for a change…I was abt to buy chocolate but liked the shade of cherry and I am kinda fed up of browns so didnt buy chocolate
oh!! I have also shifted away big time from browns. Pinks and peaches are tempting me these days. Btw I bought the Khadi rose water annd it kind of smells fake to me. I dunno but I liked fab india better.
Hey do you know if all the ingredients in the lip therapy are safe? Or where I can get all teh ingredients??? I searched everywhere online and now the only other choice I have is to contact the lotus people on the website and ask them.
Thanks
I also have loads of blacks in my collection.
Love them on my eyes.
