Review- Butterly Yours 'Bhasad Organizer'

Hey  Everyone,

I can understand the post headline could be incomprehensible for most of you makeup junkies and you all must be wondering if I have just put in some random words and a slang! But No! All the words in the headline describe a simple product from the brand 'Butterly Yours' that is presented in a totally different way with a unique twist.

First of all it has nothing to do with makeup and beauty... then why the review on Makeup Sutra? This is because it is something that we all would prefer to use in our life to organize and prioritize our tasks and make our life simpler... So yes you all got it... It's a planner/ Organizer.

But what's so special about it that it's grtting featured on Makeup Sutra? Yes, first because it caught my fancy and second, I instantly got tickled by the unique twist that it has.

So what's this whole 'unique twist' thing all about?

So this is not your usual planner with a leather cover and pages inside saying date/day/time and stuff.

This is a BHASAD ORGANIZER!

If you are not sure what Bhasad (read as भसड) means... here it goes for you- As per urban dictionary, "when people have nothing to do and doing bakchodi simultaneously, the environment is referred to as bhasad." The outcome of this whole situation is utter chaos.

So this 'Bhasad Organizer' will keep your Bhasad sightly more organized and planned so that the focus can be on important and urgent tasks. 

It has a swanky leather cover with an option of getting it personalized so it looks the part it plays but once you open that and look inside... it is not what you would have expected! Each page is divided into 4 sections to prioritize your to-do list... so you can put your tasks under following headings- Bhasad (Urgent & Important), O Teri Ki (Important not Urgent), Bhains ki Aankh (Urgent not Important) and Dekh Lenge Yaar (Not Important Not Urgent). This complete Desi Dilli Tadka cracked me up and brought out the hidden Dilli Girl and I could already see my other Delhi friends reacting to it in a similar fashion!! I can see it bringing in a lot of entertainment throughout the day.

So, you see it is an ideal gift too if you want to amuse some one or to tickle their sense of humor!

And another great thing about this is size... it's around 6 inches square that can fit in your bag and quite portable!

Price and How to Order?

So, this novel and entertaining planner is priced at just ₹349 and can be ordered from http://www.butterlyyours.com/ 

It can be customized in terms of colors (Black/ Pink/ Green/ Yellow) and can be personalized with your name!

Have a look at mine :)

Review- Mink Laundry Service

You all must be wondering if I am out of my mind to review a laundry service here on this beauty and makeup blog!

But considering myself as an Image Consultant, where I help people to select, maintain and keep their clothes in a good condition, Laundry services become an important part of your wardrobe upkeep and now-a-days, most of us prefer to go to a professional laundry service for maintenance of our clothes on which we have spend a good amount of our income.

Apart from the usual outfits and clothes, there are some clothes or accessories that can't be washed or cleaned at home and we need specialists for them. These could be your embroidered or embellished clothes, delicate silks, formal shirts, leather/ suede handbags or probably your shoes.

So to tell you how this all started, I was approached by Ashish, who along with his two partners has come up with a laundry startup and I was so looking forward to such a service. They had their launch offer "5 Clothes on Us!!". That sounded wonderful and so I decided to go ahead trusting them with 5 of our (mine and hubby's) clothes.

Since I was more keen on testing out their service rather than just using up the exciting offer, I decided to give them 5 different types of clothes that require different expertise.

Also, they promise an unmatched service, which makes the offer even more interesting and exciting.

So, I took couple of days to sort my clothes. To try out the services and efficiency, I decided to give five different garments- a stone work and embroidered kurta, a silk sari, a jeans, a formal trousers and a formal shirt (last two being hubby's). 

All these will require different set of procedure for laundry and care. Also the final presentation of each piece would be different. After I was ready with my cothes, I decided to place the order. So I opened their website http://mink.co.in/ and got my order scheduled for pick up.

Within 10 minutes I received a call to confirm that their pickup personnel will be at my door step within 15 minutes... That sounded quick!!

So I was waiting, eyes glued to the clock and tadaaa... in 10 minutes bell rang and I saw a gentleman in crisp white shirt and blue jeans and introduced himself as Rohit from Mink and was there to collect my order. I was impressed with the dressing and appearance of this gentleman, I mean how many times have you seen a laundry pick up guy dressed in Smart Casual?? He was carrying a non woven fibre bag to collect the clothes and told me about the quick check in process. 

The "MINK" Laundry Bag

This would mean that they'll just mention the number of clothes collected on a receipt and take our signature and once in office, they would connect with the client over e-mail or whatsapp to inform about the condition of clothes received. Also, being knowledgeable in textiles and laundry process, I asked Rohit if he would like me to give a brief as to what has to be done with every garment but he sounded quite confident about the textile experts at MINK who'll know what to do. So, I decided to zip my mouth and let them figure out. Rohit left promising the delivery within 2 days. 

In sometime, I received a whatsapp message regarding some damage on the embroidered kurta and I was asked if they should proceed further. I gave them a thumbs up!

The next evening, I get a text that my clothes are ready to be delivered and confirming the time of delivery. I told them to come the following day.

On Tuesday evening, Ashish came carrying a paper bag (again dressed in Smart Casuals)... Each garment was individually packed- kurta and shirt in a paper bag with all the packing material and as good as new. The jeans, trousers and sari were folded well and were packed in a non woven fabric bag. I was greatly impressed. The clothes were looking as good as new and I am still not willing to open them up.

Definitely, I would rate them as Outstanding in their service ranging from-

• The ease of scheduling the pick up, 
• The customer interaction with pick up and delivery personnel, their attitude and presentation, 
• Quick check in process
• Update on the status of clothes received
• Presentation of the clothes received

The prices are comparable to the other similar services but definitely the experience is unmatched. I could trust them with my clothes and would definitely be seeing them more often.
