SHOPBOPPING: REVIEW

A couple of weeks ago I unexpectedly landed on shopbop.com (I’ve seen their online store a couple of times earlier) and thought I’d dish up a bit for some window shopping and the seemingly harmless browsing ended up in an indulgence (towards the end of the month when the bank balance was already not hitting the right notes).

Now before you start raising your brow, in my defense I am really bored of my wardrobe and it needs some serious overhaul. So when I spotted this Tibi emerald green top with (what looked like) subtle bling and unstructured cut, it suddenly became a ‘must buy’. I mean how could it not? Besides while browsing online I came across this spread (of Olivia above) and it inspired me into buying the emerald green bling.
Since I was already buying something, I had to buy a basic tee (seriously I barely have them, I always loathed tee but lately a sudden discovery of their practicality compelled me to reconsider their existence {no-existence actually} in my wardrobe). The tee didn’t fit as I’d expected, but a teeny-weeny alteration should fix that.
I couldn’t resist taking it out from the wardrobe and putting it on, so here I am smugly coffee-ing around in my new buy.

Now about Shopbopping, my online shopping has become a never-ending obsession. Latest find www.shopbop.com (great store to quench your designer fetish) – its wonderful place to shop and find all cool stuff that is otherwise unavailable in your country (their sale period is the best time to get some great bargains).

The shopping experience at shopbop.com – wonderful, easy to navigate, multiple filters to choose from the right selection and a quick checkout together made it a great place to shop. Their free international express shipping tempted me to buy, and it indeed was quick. I received my stuff within 5 days delivered to my doorstep directly from UK (and they had all taxes including customs already added in the checkout that made life a lot easier).

Share your online shopping experience, would love to know about new places to shop from 😉

don’t travel solo…
“you’re married, go with your husband” — We’ve all heard this before… 
but here’s the truth… solo travel hits different.

you reconnect with yourself, travel at your own pace, do things you love {and finally do everything you wanted to but was always pushing it back}, 🍰 eat what you want (all those vegan desserts without anyone watching you ☺️🙃), talk to strangers (a lot), sit alone without feeling weird ….. and somewhere in all that, you meet yourself.

scary? Not at all.
worth it? every single time. ✨

Did you know your fav lipstick may have bug juice 🐞 ? Shocking?
Truth is - most lipsticks in the market contain 
🐞 carmine = crushed cochineal beetles
🐑 lanolin = grease derived from sheep’s wool (waxy greasy substance secreted by sheep’s skin)
🐝 beeswax = bee vomit

Who wants to slather their lips with bug juice? 
☺️ Didn’t think so.

Thankfully, there are plenty of brands doing it right. 💄  I’ve put together a handy list so you can shop vegan lipstick with ease:

👉🏻 #VeganLipstick Brands: 
@violette_fr, @elfcosmetics, @kvdbeauty @milkmakeup, @tower28beauty, @inikaorganic @axiology_beauty, @lilylolouk @rarebeauty, 

👉🏻 Cruelty-Free brands with Vegan options:
🐰 cruelty-free doesn’t mean a product is vegan. It simply means it’s not tested on animals, so be careful. 
@tartecosmetics @rmsbeauty, @doseofcolors (most products are vegan), @charlottetilbury, @glossier @urbandecaycosmetics @nyxcosmetics 

🇮🇳 Vegan Indian makeup brands
@asabeautyindia @kirobeauty @disguisecosmetics @colorchemistry.in @lovechildbymasaba @hyueofficial 

Next time you buy makeup – make sure it’s #crueltyfree and #vegan! And look out for 
- Natural Red 4
- E120
- *CI 75470 (misspelled in video as CI 17470 🙈)
- Carmine or Carmine lake
- Cochineal extract 
- Carminic Acid

👆🏼 they’re all different names of carmine (bug juice)
