Freshly Shopped: B.LAB Haul & Review

This post has been long overdue and in fact so has this haul.I had been craving Zoya nail paints for the longest time ever so the minute I saw it on B.Lab I had to go hauling.

B.Lab is not just an estore specializing in makeup, skincare and basically beauty goodies but it's an online beauty destination.Apart from shopping high end international brands like Vichy, Elizabeth Arden, Shiseido, Dermalogica, Zoya, OPI, Palmers, TIGI you can browse through their monthly magazines, watch video tutorials or chat up with beauty experts.

The website is super user friendly.You can shop by browsing categories, brands and even solution specifics.My mom who is normally against shopping online was pretty engrossed once I hooked her up.

The Haul:

Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in My Mahogany 
 
Yup I succumbed to the beauty blog frenzy for this lippie and thank god I did.Love the shade, texture.So worth the hype.

Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner
 
If you look into my makeup drawers, you'd probably think that I might someday OD on this particular product but then I always have to have backups and backups for backups specially because this one seems to be always out of stock.

Zoya Nail Paint in Roxy 


I ordered this particular shade after looking at some online swatches, but nothing could have prepared me for how gorgeous it really is.This pic just does not do any justice so I will post more pics soon.

All in my order came to around Rs 1079 and I got a flat 15% registration discount which brought the total to Rs 917.

I'm Loving:

• I was super impressed with the packaging.Everything was carefully bubble wrapped and put together in a sturdy black box(which I have converted to a nail supply box) which was bubble wrapped too.

 

• Free shipping on orders above Rs 400.
• Different payment options including Cash On Delivery, my personal favourite.
• The brands.Agreed that they are quite steeply priced but its better to buy them from a reliable Indian website rather than an unknown EBay vendor.And they also stock some affordable brands like Maybelline and Neutrogena too.
• Not just a makeup store but a complete beauty store where you can find anything from a face wash, to beauty accessories and skincare solution.
• Easy site navigation and user friendly interface.
• Express delivery time.I placed the order on 3rd November and got the package on the 8th.Total 5 days including the weekend.

The only hiccup I found was that they do not offer discounts on individual products although they have weekly offers and schemes.
