By Aruna
Here are some details –
• The first one is a strong smelling body lotion but pretty nice – $3.99 ( about 180 bucks)
• The bodycology is about $2.99 – approx 140 bucks – if you like cucumber this is amazing. I loved it.
• The Coconut pineapple is just a $1 – this is great for gifts and as a travel size
• The body mist was $2.99. Very lavender’ish. I am using it currently just before I hit the bed at night.
Very pretty broach. This was a gift from my sis to my mom-in-law. No idea about the price but ‘Charter Club’ is a very nice brand so my thinking is that it might have been about $8 to $10 bucks atleast.
These were the best parts of my shopping. The ELF glosses were $3.99 for 5 of them. Fantastic stuff. Can be worn alone or on top of a brighter color perhaps. The eye pencils were from a shoe store called payless and they were only $2.99 each (about 140 bucks). I love them. I am using this currently. They stay on for atleast 4 to 5 hours. I am using the white shade for my lower lashes.
The 5th one from the left is again from Payless and it more of a lip balm with a slight hint of pink. It is slightly shimmery but is probably a good day time wear. It cost only $1.00.
The NYC lipstick was very mauv’ish and quite dark. Since I got it for a $1.99 I figured I would use it with another color and slightly tone it down a bit . 🙂
These were gifted to me by my sister’s friend. The top one is more lavender in color. In this foto it seems darker. I am wearing it to work . I am not a big watch person but these look pretty nice. The pink one is definitely more garish but cute as hell so I am planning to wear it over the weekends . 🙂
These were awesome purchases too. The Covergirl powder costs $8.99 and the Maybelline was $7.99. I wish I had picked up one shade lighter but its pretty nice nevertheless.
The Maybelline is just a darker shade of loose powder but works great as a bronzer so that’s what me using it for. I bought a blush brush from Body shop before I left so this powder works great as a highlighter/contouring too.
Now these were my Ok Ok purchases. I was fascinated with the wheel and imagined what It could do to my face and believe me its pretty disappointing. The bronzer would work just as well. I didn’t pay much. Not sure but I think it was about $4.99 so I am not too depressed with this purchase. Hahah..The eyeshadow and the mascara are also ok products. I have used better from lakme and Maybelline frankly.
Now I must say this was the BEST things I ever bought. My dark circles covered quite well with the MAC concealer. This is NC 42. The foundation is NC 40. Slight golden tint to it. The prices were the best. Got both together for $32- about 1400 bucks. Glad its available in India so I can keep buying it once its over too.
Sis gifted this to me. I love it. Very very elegant for sarees or even at work. The earrings by itself can also worn with jeans.
I am quite happy with this purchase. It does give the face a little glow. I am using it all over my face but I am sure it can also be used over a blush or for contouring. The brand I assume is not very well known. I got this for $4.99.
Well I got these for a $1 each . I was checking out and found these at the cashier. Could not resist the price. I am wearing the brown one today . 🙂
These were $4.99 each (180 bucks). Very indian’ish I thought.
This was $7 bucks. The whole thing I mean. I have so many greens in my wardrobe that was a good buy for me.
I lovedddddddddddddddddddd these. Havent worn it yet. Waiting for the right outfit. White round neck top and blue jeans pe shaayad aacha lagega you think? 🙂
Costs about $5.
Just a few tops..Nothing major. The first transparent top can be worn on sleeveless or strappy tshirts. The back and white top to the left can be worn on tights..if you are a little adventurous can be worn as a dress with a belt.
The bracelet (a gift) was from White House/Black market. The earrings as shown is from Forever 21 and costed $2.99.
The bags were a lot of fun. I loved all of them. I am sure I will use the pink and this big silver bag the most.
My favourite kinda stores ofcourse.second foto is in the MAC dept.
In the Body Shop store in Hyderabad!!! Shopped after I returned to ☺ am trying out the CTM routine. Used the shampoo too. Pretty nice. Volumizes quite a bit too . 🙂

yeah exactly..the jewelry is nothing bold per se..everyday wear types but i am a little practical (or boring maybe) so i end up buying things I can wear more often so you wont see a bright pink, red types ( i am very boring) in my wardrobe..all blues, black, whites types..even in my earlier US fotos most of my outfits are also navy blue, balck types..maybe its time to change my wardrobe..the fun of being a woman i suppose
Loved the Charter Club products!! The bags and makeup items look great too. The pic with the MAC MUA is lovely! And the one in your fav kinda store *drool*

Fabulous haul, Aruna, I loved the jewellery, liquid illuminator and all the body lotions. :yes:
