Thailand Beauty Haul: E.l.f, Sephora, Benefit and more.

Hey guys! Hope you all are doing well.

In this week’s post, I will be sharing my Thailand beauty haul.

In the summer, I travelled to Koh Samui and Bangkok and I picked up a few make up and skincare products. It is a mix of drugstore and high end products. I will do a separate post on places for beauty and skincare shopping in Thailand so stay tune for that.

Without any further ado lets get into the products.

Make Up

NYX Total Control Drop Foundation

This foundation has been really popular since its launch. It is all over social media and I was really tempted to try it. They had over 10 different shades so it was extremely easy to find my shade. I bought it for approximately 800 rupees. This foundation is not available in India yet.

NYX Dewy Finish Setting Spray

All the setting sprays I have tried till date have had a matte finish so I wanted to mix things up and purchase a dewy setting spray. I have heard excellent things about the NYX Matte Finish Setting Spray so I decided to give this one a try. I purchased this spray for approximately 800 rupees. This setting spray is not available in India yet.

NYX Lingerie in Cabaret Show

When NYX launched in India a year ago, I was so excited their lip Lingerie collection. It has these "perfect my lips but better" shades for every skintone. However it is still not available in India. So I went ahead and picked a brown nude from the collection. I purchased it for 650 rupees.

e.l.f. Mineral Infused Face Primer

e.l.f collection in Thailand was very limited. I was looking forward to get some products from their skincare range. However it was not available. I just went ahead and picked up their Mineral Infused Primer because it looked like something different. I purchased it for 1200 rupees.

e.l.f. Hydrating Under Eye Primer

 An under eye primer helps your concealer set better and avoid any creasing. I have never tried one before so I picked this one up for 600 rupees.

Mistine Brow Secrets

This brow pencil was all over Thailand. It was probably the most advertised product. It is 3 in 1 brow product. It has a pencil, powder and setting gel. I picked this up for 360 rupees.

Mistine Stamp Me Lip Color in 03

A while ago peel off lip stains were trending on the internet. However they were not available in India. So when I saw this product, I got really excited. However when I tried it out, I was really disappointed. It takes forever to dry and peels off in patches. I purchased this for 350 rupees.

Gino McCray Eye Brushes

You can never have enough eye brushes. So when I saw these brushes, I could not resist buying them since they were high quality but still affordable. I bought them for 250 rupees each.

Coca Cola Lip Smacker

This is probably not considered a make up product but this Coco Cola flavoured lip balm was an impulsive buy for 150 rupees.

Cathy Doll Iroka Eye Color Mousse in Hajirai

This product is basically a cream eyeshadow with a dual tone. The colour was this gorgeous reddish orange. It could worn on its own or would make a great base shade as well. I purchased this for 400 rupees.

Cho Silky Matte Liquid Lipstick in Kimber

This liquid lipstick had a texture very similar to Colourpop and Kylie Cosmetics matte liquid lipsticks. I have not heard of this brand before but decided to pick it up since I loved the texture. I purchased it for 1300 rupees.

Candy Pad

This pad is used to clean make up brushes easily. All the different type of ridges ensure to get all the product out. I purchased this for 300 rupees.

Fairy Fanatic Fairy Lips in Monaco

There are 3 reasons why I picked this lipstick. Packaging. Packaging. Packaging.This is the cutest lipstick ever. The shade is dusty pink, very similar to Colorbar Pink Charm which was discontinued. I  purchased the lipstick for 700 rupees.

Ten Ten Nail Paint

I usually stick to Nykaa nail enamels. However my sister decided to pick these two nail paints for only 80 rupees each.

Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil

Benefit is one of my favourite high end brands. I have loved every product I have used from Benefit. Benefit usually has these kits in Sephora that are good deals.  The Benefit Eye Got Brow was one such kit. For 2000 rupees, I got 3 Benefit products! The Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil is dual ended product with a retractable pencil on one side and a spoolie on the other.

Benefit Ready, Set, Brow

The Benefit Ready, Set, Brow is a clear brow gel that helps keep your brows in place once you are done filling them in and shaping them with the brow pencil.

Benefit Roller Lash

This mascara is easily the star of my haul. It transforms your lashes while adding length and volume at the same time. A few coats of this mascara and you do not need false eye lashes. If you are into mascaras, you need to try this one out. I can not rave enough about this product!

Skincare

SEPHORA Sleeping Mask in Green Tea

I have wanted to try the Sephora sheet masks for a while. However I find them priced slightly unreasonably. So I was very excited when I found these sleeping masks. These are gels that get absorbed into your skin quickly. The green tea mask is perfect for when I feel that I am gonna break out or my skin is getting oily. I purchased it for 1000 rupees.

SEPHORA Sleeping Mask in Marine Algae

In the day, I avoid using any hydrating creams since over a period of time my skin tends to get sticky. Thus I decided to pick up the Sephora Marine Algae Mask as it is a sleeping mask that will give an extra dose of hydration.I purchased it for 1000 rupees.

SEPHORA Exfoliating Charcoal Cleansing Cream 

The Sephora skincare range in India is very limited. So when I saw this charcoal exfoliating cleansing cream, I did not think too much and decided to just pick it up.I purchased it for 400 rupees.

The Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal Mask

The Body Shop masks have been on my list. However in India they retail for 2400 rupees which is almost as expensive as some face masks for Kiehls Lucky for me, I found a store that had a “buy 1 get 1 free” offer along with a 10% discount. So I got 2 masks for only 2000 rupees! The Himalayan Charcoal mask  was perfect for acne prone skin so I went ahead and grabbed it.

The Body Shop Chinese Ginseng & Rice Mask

I decided to pick up the Body Shop Chinese Ginseng & Rice mask since I have never tried a granular face mask before. The mask smelt great as well and was perfect for all skin types. I will soon do a review on both the masks from The Body Shop.

Beauty Cottage Green Apple & Sage Bubble Mask

Beauty Cottage is a skincare and make up brand available in South East Asia. They have affordable products that are adorably packaged. I picked up the mask for only 400 rupees on sale. This is the first time I have seen product that contains green apple and sage and is meant for acne prone skin. Also it is a bubble mask that seems to be the next big thing in skincare.

Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Cleansing & Toning Lotion


This product is a combination of my two favourite things in skincare. Tea tree and toner. It is best suited for acne prone skin. I have seen witch hazel being used in a lot of skincare hacks but have never had the chance to use it before. I purchased it for 500 rupees.

Boots 3 Minute Cucumber Mask

This product was a bestselling product. It was extremely affordable so I decided to give it a try. I purchased it for 260 rupees.

Boots Skin Clear Ultra Treatment Cream


This product is an spot treatment for acne. It feels a lot like a medical cream. I am hoping it works well. I purchased it for 400 rupees.

Boots Caribbean Cocktail Sugar Scrub

I have wanted to DIY a sugar scrub since forever. However I did not just end up doing it. So when I saw this, I just went ahead and picked it up. Also it smells great. I purchased it for 360 rupees.

Panpuri Soothing Milk Bath & Body Massage Oil

Panpuri is luxury brand that has products similar to Forest Essentials. This product is cleansing and soothing oil that has the most amazing lemongrass fragrance! I purchased this product for 1700 rupees approximately.

Boots Intensive Treatment Mask in Rosemary & Mint

 I have never used a hair mask before. I thought of giving the wella hair mask a try but I saw this at the store I decided to give it a try. It is suitable for normal to oily hair. I purchased it for 300 rupees.
