CouponDunia Promises us happy hours of online shopping



Beauty blogging is fun, but it can be a problem as well. Every time there is a new launch, your soul would cry out to try it and you can’t rest until you get it. Do I sound like a shopaholic? No. The good news is not because as you are tempted to try out new stuff, your wallet becomes deeper. No, in that depth you don’t find plenty of money but it goes deeper and deeper almost to become a bottomless abyss! What eases our pain? Coupons! Bloggers do get coupons and stuff. What about everyone?  Is craving for new products a prerogative exclusive to the bloggers? Well, the happy news is that the answer is ‘No’. You really do not have to be a blogger to get big discounts.  Anybody can appease the shopaholic inside with a little control and the coupon sites. What a coupon site?
A glimpse into Shop clues section
There have emerged sites, even though they are not big in number, which bring together discount coupons together. CouponDunia is a ‘world of coupons’ where, at the main section called Shopclues or ShopClues coupons, you can find discount coupons for almost all the major e-commerce sites in India.  Name a site and you would find it like Jabong, Myntra and what not? From beauty products to laptops, you can find discounts on almost everything.
So, how does this work? You have to create an account, sign in and then keep activating the coupons. Say you want to find coupons from Jabong, you have to sign in and click on this link  Myntra Coupons or  Jabong Coupons and the like. 
A peek at the associated brands
Another advantage is that they have plenty of coupons for the same site. In case you like shopping from any particular site, you can always come back and activate another coupon. Added to that, you can subscribe through email so that every time there is an active coupon, you would receive an email about it and you would not miss out on any active coupon.
Don’t fret; the site is easily navigable and the clean layout makes everything breeze. So shop on without guilt because it’s a guilt-free shopping!

L'Oreal Smooth Intense Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner left me sitting on the fence.

L'Oreal Smooth Intense Smoothing Shampoo , photo, review

Quite some time back L'Oreal had this offer where if you bought a shampoo, you got a conditioner free. I had got the Elvive, the pink one and here is the variant particularly targeted towards dry hair. because I did not have much good experience with the other variant, I was staying away. As for this one, I am not sure what to conclude.

The Shampoo: It's a thick fluid yellow ochre in color. It smells a bit strange... kind of old oil? A bit pungent? No, it had not expired. It's not altogether unpleasant, but you need to be familiar with it in order to like the scent.

Be shocked!! Lakme and Sleek? Is that possible?



Sleek Blusher in Rose Gold and Lakme Pure Rouge Blusher in Peachy Affair, comparision, comparative post, photo, review swatches.

Before you jump on me telling me how bad Lakme products are, let me clarify myself. I like Lakme. I think the brand has it's hits and misses and with it's pricing rocketing up, I do give frequent miss to their products. But do  I say ' ooh! It's Lakme, it's local, uff, it's Indian brand... you know it's so bad, had such bad qualities, etc etc etc'? No. Every brands has it's hits and misses and every brand IMO deserves a chance for the good products it caters out. Some time ago, I had reviewed the Sleek Blush and even before, the Lakme Pure Rouge Blusher in Peachy Affair which does not look remotely peach to me.


Now, ever since I tried the Sleek blush, I had a doubt. The texture and pigmentation felt pretty much the same. Even the quantity is the same and then, everything resolved when I turned them round! No, not
