My Review & Pictures: Dove Essential Nourishment Body Lotion

Today I'm going to review the Dove Essential Nourishment Body Lotion.
(Normal-Dry Skin)

This body lotion is for everyday, after-shower/bath use. It's super moisturizing, smells good & has a nice consistency. Not too greasy & not too dry. The smell is very distinctive & perfumed. It smells fresh but when you apply it, the smell slowly fades away BUT stays on for a good 2-3 hours! It is GREAT for dry skin. It's like a boon for dry skinned girls :)



          The bottle is pretty nice & big. It'll easily last you for 1 or 1 & a half months!

Claims: Proven Deep nourishment for long lasting softness. Deep care complex. For normal-dry skin. 24h.
Swatch

Price for 250 ml - Rs 180

Pros:
It does make your skin soft
Pocket friendly price
Lasts you very long
Can use it after-bath or anytime you want
Smells great

Cons:
I have no complains with this product. But the ONLY con is that it has parabens. :(

Have you used it? What are your thoughts?
Feel free to ask me any questions related to the product!

My Review & Pictures : Gucci Eau de Parfum II

Today I'm going to review the Gucci Eau de Parfum II Spray or as I like to call it - Gucci Pink II

Firstly.. The box is really nice & sturdy, no wonder it traveled all the way from Texas to India in one piece. :P Anyway, this bottle is kind of heavy due to the chunky glass square base & the round top cap.



Smell:
It smells fresh and light. I've never smelled anything.. rather any perfume like this one :) I'd define the fragrance as citrus-y, kind of spicy-fruity with a whiff of jasmine. I quite like it because it lingers on for a very VERY long time. In fact if you wear it in the morning it literally lasts you till late evening. Too good to be true?
I sprayed a bit on one of my outfits I wore for the evening out, gave it for laundry the next day and when I got the dress back.. Guess what? The frangrance was still there, not a strong smell but a very very mild, almost no-smell smell. Get it? :P Now I don't know if that's a good thing or not, lol. But hey, the clothes were clean, I don't want you thinking the woman who did the laundry had done a bad job! :P



Net contents: 50 ml
Price: ($129) Rs 7083 for 50 ml

Do I recommend it?
 Yes! Absolutely. This perfume is a bit pricey but trust me, it's totally worth it. It'll linger on forever. It's the kind of perfume that you like or you do not like. Nothing in the middle

Have you used it? Do you like it?
Let me know :)

Online Stores I Love

Hi, this is my first post/review on here. So don't judge me :P

I personally enjoy online shopping. (Which girl doesn't, huh?) Malls are now a passe, I don't get time to visit them a lot with college taking up most of my time. 
Anyway,
My all time favorite sites are:


Trendzy Street:
I'm sure not many of you are aware of this site. It is a must visit :) I bought these cool leopard print leggings that I've been looking for all over various sites & finally got them from TS & they delivered within 2 days + FREE SHIPPING! :) I also like how they keep loads of variety & update their stock almost say.. every 2 weeks! The range is great, very affordable & well priced :)



FashionAndYou:
The one thing I love about F&Y is that they have new stock almost EVERYDAY! That too at 10 am. Wow :) Isn't that nice? I've purchased so much so now I get calls from them whenever I don't shop for a month saying "Ma'am is something wrong, we've noticed you haven't shopped in a while" Haha. And their prices are reasonable too. Keep a look out for their "clearance sale" & you will end up buying shit loads of stuff. As their tagline says "Indulge yourself" You truly will :) ps - visit it around 11am, all the good stuff gets sold out very soon. But remember their delivery timeline is 3-4 weeks, so sometimes you have to wait very long for your product(s)! And a personal advice - always opt for COD. :)

The Bombay Story Store:
So apt, isn't it? ;)
This is a store on Facebook. I purchased my first dress (product) online from TBSS. Please do check it out. They buy their products from China, HK mostly. I had ordered for a leopard print dress. The payment options are : Bank deposit, Funds transfer or Online transfer. I chose funds transfer. I got my dress within 2 days considering they ship from China/HK I assume they had it in stock & Ms. Swadha of TBSS dispatched it the same day I made the transfer! :)
Good store for starters.

Although, I want to or rather will try :
Jabong, FlipKart, eBay, Oasap and review them soon :)

Let me know your favorite stores? :)
