Why
: Priced somewhere between Maybelline and MAC, this Canadian make up line serves up a delish range of lip glazes, eye shadows and nail tints diverse enough even for Ravana, who has ten heads to prep before he goes into battle. Charge! Read about bpb's favorite products from the store here.

What: Bread Box, Notan Classic, ground floor, opposite Ensemble, off Turner Road, Bandra (W), call Fabian on 9167666752.
bpb Scoop:
There’s a bun in Bandra cafe Red Box’s oven, and the delivery date is set to early September. Bread Box will be an all-day cafe focussing on breads as well as a large selection of coffees.  We hope the bar resembles that of the mother ship – cheap - and the volume of the music is more civilised.
When
: You want to baguette well soon.
