For a student of cinema or a cinephile, these films would definitely top the ‘wish-to-watch-on-the-big-screen’ list. And because you all love the movies as much as I do, you get to accompany me to the screenings with a +1. All you have to do is share your favourite dialogue from the movie you wish to watch in the comments section below, on my Facebook page or at my Twitter. And I’ll get back to you with the deets.

Spiritzzz... Adding to your lifestyle

Spiritzzz… Adding to your lifestyle

Some time ago, a store called Spiritzzz got in touch with me. It was rather interesting because they believe your shopping experience should be combined with a pampering session. The store offers not only ready-made apparel, jewellery and accessories but also a hair and make-up studio. While you shop from a wide range of dresses, tops, tunics, jumpsuits and the like, you could get a haircut, blow-dry, hair spa, foot spa or face rejuvenation treatment. Now that’s something I’m willing to try. Aren’t you? Especially since the store is giving away vouchers to 3 of you lucky readers this month. One is for a hand spa, the other for a foot spa and yet another for a facial treatment. It’s simple. Write to me (in the comments below) explaining what it is about shopping that makes you want to pamper yourself. The best answers win. :)

I recently found out about GlossyBox and I have to admit, I’m very intrigued. It is a luxury service that aims to replace our rushed and crowded experiences at beauty stores. For as little a subscription fee as Rs 700 every month, GlossyBox delivers a package containing 5 high-end beauty products to our doorstep. The products would be tailored to our needs as we would have filled out a beauty profile. Once we have tried out the products, we can provide feedback to GlossyBox and receive GlossyDots and other advantages. Doesn’t it sound amazing?

Want a clear glow on your face? Win Maybelline’s BB Cream!

Update: Happy Valentine’s Day! And congratulations Sonali Gandhi, Sonal Ved, Natasha, Sushmita Das, Sonal Aurora, Namrata, Carol, Akshita Jain, Shweta Mayank and Gunjan Batra, you have each won a Maybelline BB cream. :D

Maybelline New York BB Cream

Maybelline New York BB Cream

Personally, I like to keep my make-up to the minimal. On an everyday basis, I wear moisturizer, dab on some loose powder, apply kohl to my eyes and balm to my lips. It’s as hassle free as that. So, I’m thrilled Maybelline New York has introduced India’s first BB cream.

BB Cream

It works pretty much like a tinted moisturizer and provides just the right amount of coverage like a foundation resulting in a very natural, no make-up look.
It even has the benefits of a sun block and moisturizer.
It comes in a compact, travel-friendly squeeze tube that fits right in my make-up pouch.
It’s available in 3 shades – nude, radiant and natural. I’ve picked the nude to go with my skin tone.
And it’s only for Rs 199.

Like music? Sport a Fusic tee. Answer to win!

Posted on by

Update: Contest closed. Congratulations Himani Shah! You won a Fusic tee. :)

You must have read the previous post: Shahid & Priyanka: Boxers or tees?
You know celebrities like to sport their love for music on tees. But they sure aren’t the only ones. Our city offers a range to choose from: massive headphones to famous bands. For music lovers though, it’s never enough, is it?

Enter Clinton with Fusic. Born out of Clinton’s passion for design and quest for independence, Fusic is a line of tees that is at best ‘a visual interpretation of music’. He combines his creative and entrepreneurial skills with fine artists’ flair to design graphics and innovate patterns for t-shirts.

The result is release of Volume 1 of Fusic: a range of men’s tees touching on the wired, plugged and spirited rebellion in this digital age of media players. Take a look for yourself at the tees being stocked in medium to extra large sizes.

Money for Nothing from Fusic

What’s the good news, you ask? You stand a chance to win of these. Leave your answer to this simple question in the comments section.

“How do you listen to your favourite music?”

Alice loves music at night. Just before she goes to sleep, she installs her itouch on the speaker set, switches on a lamp, shuts off everything else and lets the music take over.

Wired from Fusic

Hurry and leave your answers. Contest ends February 13th. Double your chances of winning by subscribing to my blog, liking my facebook page and following me on twitter.  Girls, you should enter for your valentine. :)

Mute from Fusic

In the future, Fusic promises tops for girls with funky designs, fashion accessories and an online store! They currently retail at select outlets in Mumbai, hoping to increase the number and find a foothold in other cities as well.

They hope to graphically explore the different genres of music, music cultures, music icons, historic musical events, technology that backs music, its own take on music and much more. Sounds exciting!
