Little Crumb Designs

Today I want to show you some beautiful stuff I got from an etsy shop I just recently discovered- Little Crumb Designs.

The shop is run by Nicki, a stay-at-home mom who loves being crafty! Her main offerings are handmade hair bows, clips as well as hair accessory organizers.

I first chanced upon her shop while searching for felt hair bows. Her's is a relatively new shop but there is a very good variety of stuff available at very affordable rates. All of her felt goodies are available in about 15 different colors plus she is willing to accommodate customs requests with colors or styles.

When contacted she is a delight to deal with. I knew I wanted hair bows but there were so many different colors I found it hard to choose. Most product photos feature her daughter, but don't for one second think that her designs won't look good on older girls & even adults.  I just couldn't make up my mind so I told her that I like blue, that a nineteen year old would be wearing them & then asked her to surprise me.

The bows arrived in fifteen days which was pretty quick for shipping to India, I've had to wait lot longer in some cases.

They were sent in a small box so they were not crushed or bent in any way, felt can be slightly delicate like that & I was glad to receive the stuff in good condition. Here is what I got-Turquoise & light blue hair bows. I especially love these.

Blue felt rosette hair clip.

Two small felt bows with a mini mums felt flower hair clip.

In all I got six things. They are all hair accessories (with attached alligator clips at the back), but don't let that limit you, you can easily use them as brooches, clip them to a collar as a bow tie etc. {I clipped one to the strap of my diana mini camera!}

I now want to wear bows & flowers in my hair all the time, it livens up an outfit & makes me feel very whimsical. If you love pretty things you will definitely love this store. Also be sure to like the Facebook page to keep up with Nicki's latest creations.

Maybelline Clear Glow BB Cream {Win it!} CLOSED

When I heard about Maybelline launching a BB cream I was seriously excited. 

Why? BB Cream is actually my dream product. Seriously. I don't like make up. And it doesn't like me. I have foundation... I can't make it work for me because I find it too shiny/heavy. I sometimes put moisturizer on. But then I have to put sunscreen. And powder. So I just put nothing instead. :|

So yes, back to this product. I first got my hands on it two days ago & I am so happy, I just can't stop looking at it [um, new favorite product for sure].

In keeping with this season’s international trend to ‘GO NUDE’ with make- up, Maybelline New York introduces India's 1st revolutionary product, the BB Cream. The hottest new skincare trend is now in India!

The new BB cream works pretty much like a tinted moisturizer and provides just the right amount of coverage like a foundation thus resulting in a very natural, no make-up look. With all the benefits of a sun block and a moisturizer giving you a sublimely fresh, softer & richer look.

Maybelline New York’s BB cream contains 8 healthy minerals which work to give 8 healthy skin results. It instantly transforms your skin by giving it a healthy glow and works on imperfections to result in an even toned, natural look and all this while taking care of your skin. It keeps skin hydrated all day long and protects with its SPF 21/PA+++ enriched formula. Perfect for daily use, now get beautiful glowing skin, which is better than your natural skin!

The BB Cream comes in a compact, travel-friendly squeeze tube and is available in 3 unique shades – Nude, radiant and natural, perfect for Indian skin tones. Grab this for just Rs.199/-.

I seriously cannot rave about this product enough, I see myself using this everyday all the time. As I'm not a huge make up freak this has everything I need in one cute tube. For more info on it go here.
