My New Year Haul From Diva Likes

A very happy new year to everyone! May you dedicate the New Year to humanity and the betterment of the world at large. 2016 started with a box full of happiness for me and all the thanks go to Lavanya for planning such a stunning list of products. It includes skin care for winter, eye makeup, nail lacquers with vibrant colors, new budget friendly products, some lovely new launches, hair care and the list is endless. I was really expecting to try some of these products in future and my happiness was boundless to see them included in the haul. Without wasting much time, let us go through the first impression of the products I received in the haul.

Lakme Skin Gloss Winter Intense Moisturiser & Fruit Moisture Peach Milk Moisturiser

Moisturizers are very important in winter and both these products from Lakme have performed pretty well before. I have used these two simultaneously and loved the floral scent in it. Stay tuned for details.

Blue Heaven Artisto Kajal & Herbal Kajal

Kajal is something I can't live without and experimenting new kajal are is like a glorious obsession. The Blue Heaven Artiso has such gorgeous packaging and resembles the Lakme gel liners. I am really looking forward to this brand in particular.

Blue Heaven 12X1 Fashion Eye Shadow

Shimmery 12 colors look stunning in the palette and perfect for party and wedding looks. I am looking forward to creating some looks with it and also to test the quality.

L'Oreal Paris Smooth Intense Shampoo & Conditioner

L'Oreal has always disappointed me whenever I tried their range of shampoos and it has been almost 2 years that I have touched any of their shampoos. I loved the smell of Smooth Intense Shampoo & Conditioner and really wish it would work on my dry hair for a change.

Maybelline Baby Lips color Balm Lychee Addict, Watermelon Smooth & Baby Lips Candy Wow – Cherry

It's raining Baby Lips! Not one, not two but three cute variants of Baby Lips including the newly launched Candy Wow! Yes, I am grinning like a little kid because I love the Baby Lips range. No matter which lip balm I try, I always come back to these.

Blue Heaven Fashion Mascara

The mascara is another magical item I swore by. A kajal and mascara are all I need and I am good to go. I previously tried a Blue Heaven mascara which was okay and expecting this to be a good one considering the big claims.

Barbie Strawberry Nail Polish & Lip Balm

These are the cutest cosmetics ever! The lip balm and nail lacquer from Barbie are exactly what a girl needs to lift her mood. The packaging and smell are as lovely as it can be! Absolutely stunning products!

Nature's Essence Caressence Apricot & Peach Scrub

Apricot & Peach exfoliators are what I always look for in my face scrubs as I love the way it cleanses my dry skin. I have tried the Everyuth and Himalaya ones and I am expecting Nature's Essence to perform the same way as these two good ones.

Himalaya Herbals Gentle Refreshing Toner

Ever since I started using the Himalaya Herbals Gentle Refreshing Cleansing Milk, I haven't used any other till date. I absolutely loved the product and it will interesting to see how the toner from the same range works on my skin.

Dove Original Deodorant & Go Fresh Moisture Body Wash

Dove Moisture Body Wash is the best pampering your skin wants in winter. Every product of this range is so good that you can't get enough of it. The same goes for the deodorant which smells heavenly and doesn't cause darkening also.

Biotique Bio Pine Fresh Foaming Cleansing Gel

I haven't yet opened the packaging yet and waiting for the weather to get a bit warmer to try a cleansing foam. Foaming Cleansing Gel is something my oily skin loves as it gives such deep cleansed skin and keeps the acne at bay.

Everyuth Naturals Advanced Clear Beauty Tulsi Turmeric Face Wash

The face wash is so mild and skin friendly that I am loving this in winter. I love how Everyuth products are accordingly budget friendly yet perform so well.

Gala of London Liquid Line Eye Liner, Pearl Sheer Finish & Kajal Classic Midnight Black

Gala of London is such a brand that I haven't yet tried. In the latest haul, I received a beautiful black liner, kajal, and compact. I am especially looking forward to the compact for a nice glow effect and let's see how it works on my skin.

Jovees Tea Rose Lip Care

Jovees is another new brand I have seen often in various e-commerce sites but never got the opportunity to try out. Tea Rose lip balms are known to remove discolorations and pigmentation. So, I am really expecting this to work.

Dabur Vatika Enriched Olive Hair Oil

The good old Vatika is what we have seen since a long time. All of us are well aware of the beauty benefits of olive oil for the hair. I have damaged my already dry hair a bit with the constant hair curling and it is quite frizzy and unmanageable. Let's see if this hair oil brings any improvement or not.

Blue Heaven Xpression Lipsticks

The packaging of these lipsticks is so nice that I fell for them the moment I saw them. I heard so many good things about Blue Heaven Xpression Lipsticks and truly they are awesome. I got two beautiful shades and it works very smoothly.

Blue Heaven Xpression Glittering Lip Gloss 500

A clear lip gloss is a must have for every girl and this Glittering Lip Gloss looks pretty nice to layer it on top of matte colors or bare lips.

Blue Heaven Sparkling Eyeliner 06

Black might be basic but a sparkling eyeliner is a must have for party makeup. It adds a gorgeous glam look to the eyes and enhances the whole look.

Elle 18 Water Resistant Color Pop Eyeliner Green

This olive green color is the best green liner I have ever come across and I am thinking of buying this again and again. With this price tag, the color is a steal!

Blue Heaven Xpression Nail Paint 929

These nail paints remind me of Coloressence ones and the color I received is a lovely bronze. All the Xpression collection look great and are budget friendly.

Colorbar Pro Pop Heart Mini Collection

This collection has four tiny bottles of neon love! The color looks gorgeous and totally summery. Well, I am not going to wait for summer and will explore the cute range soon.

Blue Heaven Face Glow & Diamond Blush On 501

This is a very pretty pink blush and glow foundation which will absolutely suit my skin tone. I am yet to try the foundation but I found the blush super chic.

VLCC Skin Defence Rose Face Scrub

This is a lovely rose scrub from VLCC. I have used so many scrubs but this variant will be a nice experience and let's see if this suits my skin.

Khadi Fruit Face Pack (All Skin Types)

Khadi is a lovely brand but its availability is always an issue and that's why I prefer avoiding it. This time, I got to try a nice face pack and I am expecting this to work on my skin.

Garnier White Complete Double Action Face Wash

Last but not least is a lovely face wash from Garnier. I have used this one previously and quite liked it. I love the effect it gives my skin and planning to use it for some time.

Phew! That's the whole haul and it is quite a mixed bag of goodies. I have already tried and tested some of them and will come up with the reviews soon.
