C L O S E D

Hello Sweeties

But een een.. not today.. When I checked my mail this evening, I found to my SURPRISE.. dat I'm lucky too!!!! :D
I won NOT one but TWO of them!! Yipppe.. Thank you Linda from style mood board for the lovely blouse and Romwe for the Tights .... :D

Now, a Surprise for you guys :)

Remember my First International Giveaway: Celebrating 100 followers? (link).

It is back now! Why?
Well here's why.. I was all set to ship items internationally when I found out that my stupid post office doesn't ship internationally!!!!! When I tried other services then it was costing me 200 times MORE than the actual price.. So I was pretty bummed out!! :\

NOT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!
Remember I recently tied up with Sigma Beauty?? (post). So my previous winners- Nora and Andrea would not leave empty handed but Gift Certificates :) I will tell more about this later on.. But I am really sorry guys, I couldn't give you what I promised.. Hope this little gesture helps :)

Magic + Giveaway Winner + Special Packaging

Hola beauties!
How is everybody feeling today? If you are low then worry not, I'm here with 3 things that will surely bring a smile to your face :)

PART ONE

MAGIC REVEALED

Remember in the last post I told you about my shiny magic? Well if you forgot what the last post was about, then I recommend you read this.

So here it is...

Two days before New Year, my younger brother gifted this lovely thing. Of course I gave him a gift too *smirks*..

It is a 3-way nail buffer by QVS. Surprised??? No? :( Awww Please be surprised :P

Well at least for some girls like me, who don't know much about lipsticks or eye-shadows, this is a magic.. I will review it for you :)

What is QVS?

QVS- Quality, Value, Style: That's the Beauty of QVS -offers a wide range of personal care products within the health and beauty category. They specialize in personal care products with special focus on cosmetic, nail, bath and travel accessories.

Link - http://www.qvsglobal.com/

What did I purchase and from where?

I purchased a 3-way nail buffer for getting a shine on nails: from New U!

What is a 3-way nail buffer?

A 3-way nail buffer is an easy and handy tools for girls who want super shiny nails in between manicures or anytime. It gives an instant shine on toenails as well!

What does it comprise of?

As you have seen above, it comprises of 3 sides namely,

Dark Grey- To smooth lines/ridges.

Purple- For satin soft touch

Light Grey- For super shine.

Sorry for the bad photography! That is my shadow :D

Does it have anything else to offer?

A Big YES! It improves circulation to the nail bed which promotes healthy nail growth! What else do we need??

Price??? 

INR-110

Did it help me?

See the Lines: Bad :\

1. Nails before applying QVS 3-way nail buffer

2. Step 1: Used the dark grey side in light circular motion

Note: Rome was not built in a day! It takes time for ridges to go away. Have patience :)

3. Step 2: Back and forth motion, purple side. 

4. Step 3: Light grey side- sideway strokes.

My verdict!

A total paisa-vasool! oops sorry.. Worth the money! It gave me a Super Shiny and clean nails! My brother also asked me to do it on his nails. haha

Check my previous post for the full look!

Rating

4.75/5

Cons:

The dark grey side spoils quickly if you have thick lines/ridges.

Will I buy it again?

Of course!!!!!!! It has so many cool products like hair clips, rubberbands etc. So cute :D

And a bigger version of nail buffers too.. Just for INR-185! :)

So do check it out!
