Aruna Asks :
hey ladies..my B-i-L (bro-in-law) is visiting from the US and so my sis asked me if I needed anything..any ideas? makeup only but is there something in the US that we don’t get here? i have found Colorbar hard to find here ..you think i should tell her to send that? ?:) am so confuseddddddddddddddddd
er…I thought colorbar was indian brand only!!! ?:) ?:) ?:) ?:) ?:)
yikessss!!! 😉 so clueless..thought since we didnt get it everywhere here in India assumed it was a US brand.
You can ask him to check out ELF and NYX products there!! 😀 😀 for you!!!
ya cali u r right…..also you can find there Bobbi Brown Cosmetics …………… :sidefrown:
and NARS too!! 😀 😀 😀
Cali/Sim – what in particular?..anything that stands out as a must have? eye pencils, foundation etc?
aruna, check out the nars orgasm blush shades online. pick the one that suits your complexion. Nars albatross blush duo is quite nice . Bobbi brown gel liners. Urban decay 24*7 pencils. Love their quickie blush. Laura mericer tinted moisturiser.
sleek eye makeup palettes are cheap and great value for money. they ahve something called lip pots / pouts also they are also nice.
Colorbar is an indian brand aruna. You can order their products from their website.
oh you know what is hilarious? my sis who lives in the US has never heard of NARS..and I thought I was clueless 🙂
indian???? that brand says Colorbar USA! and the writing on the package is all in french too!!!
is it? i was only confused becos we dont get it everywhere in india unlike the usual brands Revlon, L’oreal..if I had seen Colorbar USA then god knows.. :headbang: wud have been totaly totally a confusious creature :hypnotized:
Get Nars orgasm blush, burts bees lip balm, Urban decay 24X7 glide on eyepencil…
woww..Thanks so much for the suggestions..i feel like telling her to send all 🙂
Ask him to visit any Sephora or ulta stores. They are in all cities and are a mecca of make up lovers. Hehe u can visit their site and choose what you like and he can get them 🙂
Happy shopping 🙂
Agree with you Beeni…visit Sephora online and check out for yourself 🙂
niceeeeee..i wish i lived in the US just for this 🙂 that site is awesome..so many to choose from!! alternatively I am thinking maybe I should tell her to pick out any one thing from NARS, ELF and brands like laura Mercier I can buy from strawberry.net..thinking thinking ?:) ?:)
i lived in the US for nearly 7 years but then i wasnt half as excited abt makeup as I am now..now is the time to be there :toothygrin:
Thanks Bee..btw, was reading one of your earlier posts and I must say its so wonderful to read what you had written. its rare to come across such refreshingly honest ppl in world
thankyu soo much Aruna 🙂 Im all smiling now 🙂
hope you get grt stuff as u like!!!
ya..me too..like i was telling Rati earlier, my sis is even more budddhu than i am. she had never heard of NARS!! so well now I shud just tell her to send something for the heck of it even it means going to a nearby drug store like CVS..gotta tell sisters to send something else she’ll send me the usual tshirts thingie which I am slowly outgrowing anyways.
will keep you guys posted abt what i got..it might one eye shadow for all u know after all this hungama.. 😕
aruna, you should look for stuff that is not available online in India… do you have good makeup brushes? Eco Tools is a great brand for brushes and u can’t get it in India… also, if you are into hair accessories, try bump its! i have just not found them in delhi…!
ya I got Eco tools from a friend who was visiting India..they are fabulous..the only indian brush i use is the Vega foundation brush, the others are all Eco Tools..hair accessories? never thot of that..was so concentrating on cosmetics..shud think abt it. 😉
Lucky you!
Eco Tools brushes are available in Walmart….I love them…they are best for price and too good…..You should definately ask for those. 1 visit to Sephora should be good enough for Urban Decay, NARS cosmetics…..Urban Decay Naked Palette is all the rage here….they are mostly out of stock….their zero pencil is awesome….superb eye crayon pencil….any of the MAC products are cheaper too than India…..
I think the general census is NARS and URBAN DECAY..lets hope she finds something..i am being so greedy honestly..i am sure she’ll have a list for me to send with my bil..
ELF, sephora, nyx & cover girl anyday aruna… :victory2: :victory2: :victory2: :victory2: :victory2: :victory2: :victory2:
ELF might be the cheapest..cover Girl!! ya i had forgotten abt that. she’s coming in June . my Bil is visiting now so I have a couple of chances and some more time to do more research..my bil is leaving over the weekend so i was like what do i tell her to send when there is so little time..so this time maybe some chotu thing which is easily available and can bother her some more when she’s coming in June.
She’s going to be sorry she even asked me what i wanted.. :whistle: :whistle:
Burt bees lipbalm, elizabeth arden skin care products… i wud suggest… though they are available in some stores in india, they are way too cheaper in USA than here
Hi Aruna, I would suggest EOS lipbalms & eco tools brush set. Get the lip balms in a few different flavours.
