Be Talk: Shopping experience from 48craft.com

I really like the way online stores are catering to all sorts of needs of people nowadays. So far, the sites hoarding makeup and skincare products were the most popular ones to us ladies. But of late I came across the website www.48craft.com and was pleasantly surprised with its plethora of interesting  and beautiful articles-which comprise entirely of Indian traditional arts and crafts. I am really amazed to see the wide variety of products in a number of categories and at very reasonable pricing in this website and so sharing it with you. 

Here is a sneak peak at the website: www.48craft.com and some of the nice products listed therein. 

 

Combo Deals

 Toys

 Bags

Here is what I bought from this website:

A set of 5 pillow covers

A cane handbag

Well these were actually my mom's recommendations-and she is really happy with the products that we received. Here's discussing some of the features of this online shopping website.

1) The products are all based on Indian handicrafts of various states. The current collection has some very attractive products

2)There are a wide number of categories to choose from. Do check out the bags section-its just awesome!!! You would surely be tempted to pick one!

3) The description provided is very helpful to choose the products. I received the  product (bag)  in exactly the given dimensions and as per the descriptions given in the website.

4)  Here are some current discount offers from this website which you would get once you sign up.

5) The products I received are of great quality. I think they are totally worth the price.

6) The courier (Fed Ex) service is very prompt and  reached our place in two days and they also called before the delivery. The products were securely delivered in a card board box.

Over all I am very happy after shopping from this website-I got  nice products at reasonable prices and with most prompt delivery service. I would wish 48craft to add more traditional Indian products-like sarees, madhubani and rajasthani paintings, dokra artifacts and loadsa other stuff! I think this is also  a great endeavor to promote Indian art and should reach out to international buyers as well!!!

I received a voucher from this website for shopping-however-my review is unbiased and unaffected by that

Be Talk: The Nature's Co Guava Body Lotion

Brand: The Nature's Co

Line: Foressence

Type: Body Lotion

I recently came across the Nature's Co products and was instantly tempted to try them. I checked out their website (check it here) and found it to be a hugely informative and detailed one. I was also amazed to read about their huge range of products in various categories. 

The products are classified into five ranges named as:

Atmospure, Starrize. Foressence, Earthborne, Aquaspark

Each category further has products in each domain of Face, Body, Bath, Hair and Wellness

Me Talk:

The Guava body lotion is from the range Foressence. It's description is provided in the website where the price and quantity are also mentioned. The details of this product from the Nature's Co website is given below.

The lotion is a creamy-pink in color and the texture is runny and light. It has a very faint fragrance that is almost indiscernible unless smelt strongly. Owing to its light texture, it gets easily absorbed in the skin and doesn't leave behind any oily residue. 

I felt the moisturization to be quite good for dry winter days-and I guess it would also be nice to use in summer since it is quick absorbing and non-oily or non-slimy (those types take forever to get absorbed into the skin). 

Although I like fragrant lotions-I have no objections with this one-and for ladies who prefer non-fragrant moisturisers- this might be an ideal choice. Overall I find this lotion to be a really nice product and the 250 ml of quantity is enough to last me for this summer at least. I am tempted to try their mixed berry body lotion next.

Pro-Side:

1) Very elaborately composed website that helps to chose and shop for products from there itself.

2) The products are natural to the core and anyone who is a fan of natural remedies must surely check these out.

3) Very wide range of products-so much that it takes time to explore the website itself.

4) Various gifts accessories and kits are available-all based on natural products. Latest launches are essential oils and oil burners. Its like a one stop shop for natural beauty products.

5) As for the Guava body lotion-
a) A nice and mild moisturizer for the hands and neck. 

b) Gets absorbed easily, no oily feeling afterwards

c) Fragrance is very mild barely-there

d) Moisturization stays upto 3-4 hours in very dry winter days as I found. Skin remains soft and supple till then

e) No side effects observed. 

f) Not tested on animals

Down Side: Nothing except that I wish a smaller sized container was available-so that it could be carried around.

Be Talk: Faces Canada Satin Matte Lipstick in Jazz Berry

Brand: Faces Canada

Line: Satin Matte

Shade: Jazz Berry Jam

Price: 239 INR

 

Hello Girlies

Today I would be talking about one of my favorite lipsticks in my closet-The faces Canada Satin Matte Lipstick in Jazz Berry. This was perhaps my first buy from the brand Faces and it charmed me enough to explore the brand further. The Faces Satin Matte range of lipsticks are indeed a keeper in anyone’s closet by virtue of their quality and modest pricing.

I found a description of these lipsticks in online shopping websites like Medplus Beauty.com.

The range boasts of a wide range of shades. 

Me Talk:

This lipstick has remained one of my favorites since I bought it. It is moisturizing and has a creamy texture. The finish is not the “dry matte” kind. It is in fact more satin than matte. It gives full pigmentation in 2-3 swipes. It stays easily for 3-4 hours  and fades evenly. It doesn’t stain or dry lips and makes the lips look fuller as it doesn’t accentuate the fine lines. 

The color is a mild plummy pink shade-and is very much wearable for all occasions. For daytime-it may be paired with light eye makeup-a basic liner kohl combination, whereas for night outs-this would go equally well with dark smokey eyes. What I love most is its moisturizing yet light texture-apart from the decent pigmentation and staying power. Currently I am using its second tube :) I even love its sweet mixed-fruit-jam type fragrance!!!

Pro Side:

1) Moisturizing

2) Creamy texture that glides smoothly on lips

3) Gives full pigmentation in 2-3 swipes

4) Very economical in pricing

5)This shade is mild and is very wearable for all skin tones IMO

6) Doesn’t stain lips or make fine lines prominent
7) Sweet fragrance which is not harsh or overpowering

Down Side

None

  Thats me wearing it !!!
