Meeting with Calicoaster and a Stupid Colorbar Experience


I met Cali yesterday at The Select City Mall yesterday. She had a few hours transit in Delhi so we decided to catch up.

I think Cali is one of the simplest people I have come across. She is a simple girl who speaks her heart.

We met at Barista Coffee Shop at Select Citywalk and while we were chit chatting over a cup of coffee, we saw Andy, Chanel V VJ hopping in the mall. πŸ˜› Cali tried hard to click his pics but he was standing a little too far from us.

She gave me these candles and a key chain as Diwali Gifts. πŸ™‚

It was time for shopping then. We went to Inglot. We bought a 10 eye shadow palette for a friend. Cali bought a lipstick and a palette of three eye shadows – red gold and brown plus a black eye shadow with golden glitter.:) We also got Inglot pouches free free free. πŸ™‚

Then I thought I’d show her the flagship Colorbar store. We went there asked the SA to show us a foundation brush. He said it was out of stock. And it was not likely to be available for the next one month. Then he said, β€œ You know we buy brushes from the same place as MAC buys them from. The distribution at the MAC store is more than that at the Colorbar store therefore the distributor supplies them more brushes than he supplies to us. Now we are looking for another distributor who could supply brushes to us on time and give us the priority.”

Both Cali and I were like ‘huh? has he gone bonkers?‘ Where did MAC come from in this conversation? And how is he even comparing MAC to Colorbar? I mean you should be selling your brand dude than getting bothered about what MAC is doing. How Dumb!

Finally we bought nothing from there after this irritating experience.

Talking about Colorbar brushes, the handle of my favorite colorbar brush has also started to crack.

And no I don’t think Colorbar and MAC buy brushes from the same place. There is a huge difference in the quality.

Anyway, Cali sooooooo wanted to have an ice cream. So we headed to the food court . We had chocolate fudge + vanilla choc chips ice cream. Yum!!

Overall it was a nice pleasing day. Cali is one of those people I would love to meet again and again. :))

  1. You know I got super freaked out by the idea that MAC and Colorbar brushes were the same – I mean the price diff would make MAC a rip off – i was this close to being sooooper dis-illusioned. :-(( :-(( :-(( :-(( :-(( :-(( :-(( :-(( :-(( :-(( :-(( :-(( :-((

    1. Janhavi,

      the quality of Mac brushes is really good starting from bristles to handles. Nothing happens to them . Infact after Mac ,it’s Sigma I am liking the most.

      I don’t know why he was telling all this . The only question we asked was whether they have a foundation brush or not.

        1. I know.. What was the need of bringing MAC in between anyway. Also what if I am just random customer and I have no clue about what MAC is? I don’t know what was he trying to prove.

      1. 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 is soooo weird ratidooooo. I have never used any other brushes but MAC brushes – except like 1 VEGA blush brush years and years ago …. so I was really weirded out by the idea.

        You girls looked like you had a blast :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

        Me missed being around :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

        1. Oh yeah..Cali though she had good 3 hours to meet and chit chat. By the end of the meet she was like “I cam coming back to meet again. This time for a full day” πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜›

    RADS I just saw your comment about Lifebuoy soap – I DARE you to use nothing but Lifebuoy soap on ur skin for a month !!!! No make up – no moisturiser – none of your YSL Teint Idole or Teint wtv …… πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜›

  8. I can live without any makeup for a whole year Janhavi, but I CANNNNNOT change my skincare routine…am just about beginning to look human now! This dare you WIN :sweat:

  9. Im suuuper curious – whats ur skin care routine Rads ?!! That you will fight for it jee jaan se πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜› πŸ˜›

    *am super gloating over my dare* ha !

    1. Oh nothing very woww…and am still tweeeeeeeaking kinds..but I am very very particular what I would use on my face. Get pimples with just about anything, face wash gels even, and they leave these horrids marks. Right now using Olay ka cleanser (not particular about that one) and then a kama ayurveda face cleanser powder kinds after that. Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 and Lancome Neurocalm moisturizer (only because I ran out of my must-have Shiseido moisturizer). Thats it..and an occasional Himalaya face mask.

      1. Your skin sounds just like mine :-(( :-(( :-(( :-(( :-(( you know I wish I had known more about like face washes n stuff when I was in my teens – no one told me that products make you break out – now I know I can tell how my face reacts to new stuff but I wish someone had told me pehle only – would have saved me alot of trouble ….

        1. Me toooooooooooooo…totally agree on that..combination of ignorance and laziness on my part 😐 Oh and do try the Kama powder cleanser thing then if you find it..is besan kind..is not besan..is the green dal powder I think..but similar concept..is good πŸ˜€

  10. wow looks like you guys had great fun. and yes something about cali’s face shows that shes a veryy simple, sweet and down to earth person πŸ˜›
    shoe key chain is sooo cute!!! and ice cream looks yum..me too want now :starving:
    btw the mac and colorbar brushes comparison thingy was sso funny. how stupid of a saleman to talk about another brand when not required. It’s like indirectly he’s promoting them :smirk:

    1. he he I think he was jealous. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

      yeah we had fun. She is very easy going. πŸ™‚ She thought I’d have a husky voice because I do so many smokey eye looks. 😐 😐 😐 😐

  11. Omg! Hey you guys!
    You both look sooooo cute….Cali jee, I love your top/jacket
    That Inglot palette looks so good! How much was it Rati?
    And best of all – I know it’s exciting you met each other n all πŸ˜› :P, but you met Vj Andy!!!! God I loveeee that guy! He’s so funny, witty, cute etc….sigh…the list can go on!

    1. Oh no we didn’t meet , we just saw him. Cali tried hard clicking his photee bt I think she failed. πŸ˜› πŸ˜›

      Yeah it’s fun na meeting bloggie friends. πŸ™‚

      The palette is for Rs 4400

  12. Awwww… I always love these meet posts… I have never seen this kinda online bonding translating offline!!!! :-* :-* :-*
