Beauty Tip : Ways To Remove Tan

Hello Friends!
Sorry for not posting beauty tip on Sunday, I was out-of-town and did shopping whole Sunday for Raksha Bandhan.
Today I am going to tell you what should you do when you get a drastic tan on your face, hands, foot..anywhere.
There are so many ways to remove tan, am going to tell you few best of them.

• One of the easiest and fastest way to reduce tanning is to apply buttermilk. You can also make your own Buttermilk by diluting a cup of yogurt in 2 liters of water and blend well. This can be rubbed on tanned skin and will show excellent results. You can apply this on your skin as many times a s you like.
• Aloe vera gel is also an excellent way to reduce tan. Try and get leaves of the plant and press them for fresh gel. If you use aloe vera gel that comes in a tube from a store, this also works equally well. Make it a point to apply this overnight because using aloe vera gel and going out in the sun can make your skin darker.
• Mix 1 cup of yogurt, juice of one medium cucumber, 1 tablespoon honey, pulp of a tomato and a half cup of chickpea flour. If the mixture seems a bit runny add more chickpea flour. Apply all over your tanned body and leave it for 30-40 minutes( the longer you leave it on, the more benefits it will have). Then wash off using lukewarm water and loofah. 
• One part sugar, one part salt and two parts of lemon juice. You can also use half lemon with sugar and salt and rub it on tanned skin.

       Hope you'll find it helpful... :)

Toe Nail Art

I never tried nail art on my toe nails, this is my first time. After doing it I can say that adding a simple Toe Nail Art design to your toes will make them look so special!! You will feel great too, I'm sure!
Inspiration was letter 'S', this is first letter of my hubby's name.


What you need for simple toe nail art is...

• Silver Nail polish
• Top coat
• Black nail paint
• Nail art brush

1) Apply silver nail paint on all toe nails.

 2) Take your nail art brush and make this design on only thumb toe nails. For design I chose      black nail paint.

 Its simple and if you want you can make designs on other toe nails too.

I have completed it only in few minutes. Let me know what you think about this Toe nail art.

My Big Haul :)

I am very happy with my haul. I shopped so many things which I needed badly. And am extremely happy not because I got so many stuff but I shopped on Monday when I usually get bore at home and only get time for shopping on weekends. :)
So here is the list of what i got -

• VLCC Pearl facial kit
• Coronation herbal Tulsi pack
• Sleek wax pack
• Everyuth cucumber face pack
• Everyuth Orange peel-off
• Joy skin fruits Oil control face wash
• Maybelline color sensational lipstick
• Black Nail paint
• Hair sticks

•  Cucumber works amazingly on my skin. So when I saw Everyuth Cucumber face pack I grab it and it's orange peel-off was there next to face pack so I took it too.
• A random black nail paint for nail art.

•  I never use fake eyelashes before but I have seen what it looks when somebody wears it...it looks amazing and cheap so without thinking I put it in my bag.
• I have seen great reviews of Maybelline Color Sensational lip colors, so  finally got it's summer sunset for me.

•  I needed a facial kit so that I can do facial at home whenever I need to pamper my skin. :) VLCC pearl facial kit grabbed my attention so chose that one.
• This is the first time I am using product of coronation. I pick it only because I wanted to know how tulsi pack works. :)

Red Hearts On Black Nail Art

Hi Everyone!

For the first time I tried black nail paint and now am loving it. This nail art is completely done by nail art brush with freehand.

Take three nail paints black, red and pink with a Konad nail art brush and start -

1) Paint all nails with glittered black nail paint and let it dry completely.

2) Take nail art brush and draw 2-3 small red hearts on each nail.

3) Then apply pink nail paint to color border of hearts with the help of nail art brush (as shown in picture below).

4) Did something different on one nail. Draw two lines with red nail paint and make dots with pink color along  the line. Secure your nail art with transparent nail paint always. :)

Konad Nail Art Brush

This nail art only needs patience to make perfect hearts. :)

Beauty Tip : Add Volume To Your Hair Roots

Hi Everyone!

Today is Sunday and I am here again with a beauty tip. This week's tip is How to add volume to your roots after styling.

There are a bunch of products to add volume, but what if you have one of those days where you style your hair, only to realize that it's falling flat around the roots. Then what? Then you employ this little tip.

What we use to give volume is a Volume spray but that's not all, we should do it correctly.

1. Part the top section of your hair.
2. Spritz hairspray along the part line.

3. Dry the hairspray in (really important, hairspray must be dried in for it to work) by using a cool or warm heat (Dryer).

4. Repeat those steps about a cm in towards the center part line.

Result - Repeat 2-3 times and you'll get great root lift.

Hope you all find it useful. :)
