April Fab Bag.. Nine to 9 Secrets

April Fab Bag! My new find..

Now that I have quit working and am home full time, I often browse during my free time. This is when I came across Fab Bag. It is a monthly subscription concept, where experts put together 3-4 or more beauty products and deliver at your door step. I was so impressed with the concept that I put on my google cap and decided to research more on it. Wow! there are so many monthly subscriptions out there.Most of the subscriptions are beauty related products, this is for the beauty enthusiasts who love surprises and would like to try new and different products!! How did I never know about these lovelies..coz I really love surprises and am open to try new products, also honestly I hardly ever come to know about new products or new brands that are being launched as I have always been busy, earlier coz of my work and now coz of my baby. I think it is a great way of knowing new products and trying them out without even stepping out of your home, suits busy mums like me.

Fab Bag have a different pouch every month, I was very curious about what kind of pouch will they be sending out for April. It's a 'zebra' print pouch, with 5 products inside and a magazine describing the products and how to use them. The pouch also includes a personalized card with your name and the price of each product is mentioned on the same card. April month is called Nine to 9 Beauty Secrets, in which they have introduced 2 new products which is Denman and Malavara.

April Fab Bag's Contents:

1. Malavara Body Lotion (Rs 390 for 60ml) (Lime Vetiver)
2. Malavara Shower Gel (Rs300 for 60ml) (Lime Vetiver)
3. Iraya Manjistha Eye Contour Gel (Rs395 for 25gm, though it shows 20gm on the product)
4. City Color Blush Quad-Pink (Full size for Rs500)
5. Denman Black Hair Brush (Full size for Rs475)

My Verdict:

I am no beauty or makeup expert. Although due to my vast flying experience, I have a fair knowledge about beauty and makeup products. Hence, it is just my own personal verdict, you may consider the following review from a layman point of view:

1.Malavara Body Lotion: Malavara is a newly launched company. The lotion smells very citrus and fresh. I made sure to use it few times before writing the blog and I quite liked it. The lotion is non sticky. The lovely citrus fragrance stays on the skin for long time and 60ml is good enough to last for 2 weeks for a busy mum like me.

2.Malavara Shower Gel: I was going to buy a shower gel for me and when I got this in the Fab Bag, I was quite happy. The shower gel is equally nice and leaves you fresh and smelling great. The 60ml shower gel is a generous quantity which will last me easily more than 2 weeks. The smell and packaging of the lotion and the shower gel reminds me of the toiletries that we used to get during our stay in the high end hotels, during my flying days.

3.Iraya Manjistha Eye Contour Gel: Iraya is a new brand to me. Hence I did a bit of research before using the eye gel. Iraya is highly influenced from Ayurveda and the products are almost organic. They have their own farm and grow various herbs, flowers and plants. Manjistha is a flowering plant from coffee family. The red pigment is derived from its roots. Before this, I was not using any under eye cream and was thinking of buying one as I have just crossed the threshold of 30's. This is my favorite product in April Fab Bag. I am very happy with the results of the Iraya Eye Gel. I use it twice in a day morning after bath and night before sleeping. I feel that my eyes look much brighter with under eye bags fading. With my baby, my sleep pattern is not disciplined and my husband's early morning work schedules also don't help much. Hence this product is definitely my bestie right now. On applying the gel, the texture feels very hydrating. The 20gm eye gel will last me a month easily. 

4.City Color Blush Quad-Pink: I have never heard of this brand hence I found out more about the brand by checking it out online, you may click here to know more about City Color. I got the pink shade which suits my complexion and I did use it couple of times and am happy with the blush. The blush is in 4 shades of pink, it smells nice and is easy to carry in your hand bag. I was also due to buy a blush since long as I have being using Nars and Mac blushes since about two years which is near expiry. Also you can use these shades as eye shadows. Get creative!

5. Denman Hair Brush: This is my second favorite product in the bag. Its again a new launch. I am in love with the brush. As again I don't get enough time like before to brush my hair. My showers are super quick coz of my cutie pie, my son who has now started rolling :D This hair brush is a life saver. I really love the way it easily removes the tangles from my hair and that too in no time. Big thumbs up for the hair brush.

A big thank you to Fab Bag for the awesome products and the pouch. I recommend Iraya Manjistha Eye Contour Gel and the Denman hair brush. I also like the rest of the products but for me these two were the clear winners!!
