I think I am still going through Mumbai hangover. There's a lot more to tell you. But I think I ought to stop now because now I am running the risk of being 'boring'.
I had visited the Beauty Shop at Kandivilli and New Beuty Center at Khar later. The man even patiently took me to Kyolan City at Bandra as well! ( Told you he's the best! :D )
Here is my collective haul.
I wanted to get products especially from Essence. So, here they are
Oh, how I wanted a golden highlighter and it came true!! I haven't tried the products yet.
The Kryolan products I bought: Kryolan products are available here in Kolkata as well. But since there is no flagshipstore, finding the right base makeup shades might be difficult. If you know your color, it would be a breeze. I got my skintone matched . I was actually wearing Kryolan Dermacolor and the MUA was surprised because she did not even realize I was wearing any makeup at all. She was amazed at the way I had blended evevrything. Nevertheless, she gave me another color especially for the corners of the mouth and the undereyes. When asked for eyeshadow brushes, they wanted to give me the ones priced at around 400 which is also what the SA in the Kolkata store does. But I particularly asked for these brushes and got two of these.
The other miscellaneous purchases:
I also found this retractable Kabuki at the local departmental store!
New Beauty Centre or Beauty Shop? Now, I feel the collection and selection is better there at Beauty Shop, but if you are looking for discounts, you must go to NBC. Whereas Beauty Shop did not give me any discount, at NBC Jordana products were sold at 20% flat discount ( I wish I picked up even more stuff!) and the Essence products at NBC were sold at flat 10% discount. I am glad I picked up more stuff from NBC.
overall, this time I loved makeup shopping from Bombay! I am sure I am not buying much stuff this year anymore.
