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?

From my last post, you already know I love receiving packages with a surprise element. While I can’t wait to receive a GlossyBox, I’m pretty sure you’re hoping one could be yours too. Of course, the best way to make that happen is to have a contest.

Share your “best kept beauty secret” with me in the comments section below. Additionally, like my facebook page and/or follow me on twitter. The most interesting answer wins. Write soon. The contest closes on 29th February 2012.

GlossyBox also has a fascinating blog and interactive facebook and twitter pages. Check them out. :)

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.

When I logged on to facebook a couple of weeks ago, I discovered I had won a contest on girlyhour.com I was really happy, simply at the thrill of winning a contest. From previous experience (remember I won the HT Anjaana Anjaani contest and they wouldn’t take me to the Kingdom of Dreams?) hmph one isn’t always sure they’ll be rewarded with what they’re promised.

So, I’d tried my luck at a contest on missmalini.com If you posted a picture of yourself cooking in your kitchen, you stood a chance to win a Rs 1000 voucher + a glass of wine at the Versova branch of Mia Cucina.

So, yes, I did win. I had the liberty to pick a date and they would make a reservation. Fortunately for us, the day we picked co-incided with a wine tasting at the restaurant.

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.

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!

Tote-ally cool and friendly | Tag to win

Update: Alice has picked Kajal as the winner. She is giving away a badge from her personal collection as an add-on. Those who didn’t win needn’t be disappointed. There’s lots of good news in the future. Thanks so much for participating.

Unlike most management studies’ graduates, Shreya Shanbhag spent time after graduation coming up with a plan. The result is ‘toteally shoppers’. She’s saving the environment trouble by producing really cool cloth bags.

She’s done her research and knows the ill-effects of plastic bags pointing out their ban in most European countries as well as the state of Maharashtra and city of Bangalore. Informed and innovative! We like!

I don’t need to carry a shopping bag with me anymore. I’ll have a toteally stylish shoulder candy instead. Made of bio-degradable cotton, these totes are reusable and foldable.

You’ll be complimented whether you go to a BYOB party or grocery shopping!

As if all this weren’t enough, the girl will customize bags for you too. Whether it’s your sister’s birthday, best friend’s bachelorette or theme party, you can place an order with her for take-home goodies.

I’m eyeing the tote with the green heels. If you fancy yourself one, drop her an email at toteally.shoppers@gmail.com and she will promptly work it out.

Now that you’ve seen and read all about toteally shoppers, answer a simple question and stand a chance to win one of the totes!

“How do you tag your tote?” Leave your answer in the comments section. Psst. Alice attaches a button badge to her tote to keep it personal and distinct from everyone else.

Alice will pick the best answer and get in touch with the winner. You get brownie points if you subscribe to my blog, like my facebook page and follow me on twitter. Hurry! Contest closes on 24th Jan.
