Makeup Tip : Get Bambi Eyelashes Without Mascara

Hello beauties!
Sorry for not posting in the morning :(  I was in Chitrakoot in M.P. Visited so many temples and had fun. :)

Today's super Sunday makeup tip is How to get Bambi eyelashes without mascara?

Image source : Google

You don't need mascara to make your eye lashes stand out. YES. Just add eyeliner.
To get voluminous looking lashes, apply dark brown or black waterproof eyeliner to the upper rim of your eye -- not on top of the lashes, but in between and underneath them. This gives the illusion of thicker and fuller eye lashes without having a lined eye.

Hope you'll find it helpful. :)

Hair & Care : Silk-n Shine Hair Potion

Hello Galz!

Recently I picked this tiny bottle of Silk-n Shine, but there is a story behind this buying. I was roaming with my husband to get some stuff but then unexpectedly we decided to meet his friend and family. Suddenly my eyes stopped on my hairs and I noticed that my hairs were looking so frizzy because of heavy and beautiful wind. I was loving the breeze but it totally messed up my hairstyle, so I stopped by near a shop where I ask for Livon but he said he has Silk-n Shine of Hair & Care. I was in rush so got this very tiny bottle to tackle the hair situation.

In a matter of minutes, Silk-n-Shine erases the harmful effect of dust, prolonged exposure to sunlight, chemicals & hard water, with its unique action and instantly gives you parlor-like silky hair.

Nivea Refreshing Face Wash

Aloha Ladies!

Today I'm reviewing Nivea Visage refreshing face wash. I usually shop for cosmetics from NewU where I find this Nivea Face Wash. I bought it just because I wanted to try something new and SA really forced me to buy this by praising it too much. So here is it finally.

Nivea Visage Refreshing Face Wash Claims - NIVEA VISAGE DAILY ESSENTIALS REFRESHING WASH GEL is a soap free, lightly gel which purifies and invigorates for a fresh skin feeling. To keep normal and mixed skin fresh and supple all day long, its natural moisture balance should be respected even during cleansing.

How it works : Whilst cleansing it is important to respect your skin's natural moisture balance to keep your skin fresh and hydrated all day long.

Its enriched with Vitamins & Natural Lotus Extract, gently yet effectively cleanses your skin:

• By purifying your skin and removing dirt whilst respecting your skin's own lipids, preventing skin dehydration.
• The refreshing formula invigorates and hydrates your skin.

The skin is deeply purified for a fresh skin feeling.

How to use : Apply to wet face and neck by gently massaging in small upward circular strokes whilst avoiding the eye area. Rinse off with lukewarm water.

Price : 99/- for 75 ml.

Packaging : It's a transparent tube with white cap. I like it's tube which is very light bluish in color but one can see content from outside. Cap opens with flip like any other normal face wash.

 Texture : It's in gel form and very light blue in color. It's a mild face wash.

My verdict : I like this face wash but my skin is oily-combination and I personally prefer foaming face wash, but this one does not lathers. It's very mild and can be used for daily routine. It cleanses skin very nicely and after using this my face can survive without moisturizer. When I tried to wash it off with normal tap water it took time to leave my skin which irritates me a bit . I think it's best for dry skin and girls who prefer mild face wash which lathers less.

 After rubbing it with water on my hands it looks like this -

Pros :

• Very nice and pleasant smell.
• Cleanses face nicely.
• Very mild. Soap Free.
• It does not run out of its tube because of its perfect gel form.
• No need of moisturizer after using this.

Cons:

• Lathers a bit. It gives very less foam.
• Little difficult to wash it off.

Rating : 3 / 5 ( minus 2 because of its two cons ).


I will not recommend it to those who likes foamy face wash like me. :)

Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips

Hello Galz!!

After seeing ad of Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips so many times, I decided to try it. Actually I like it's ad where they try to show that it gives you so rosy lips, that rosy color really attracted me. :)

What it Claims - Our lips have an amazing ability to experience heightened sensations, allowing us to feel the slightest of touch and sense the environment around us. However unlike body skin, the skin on our lips does not create its own moisture layer, leaving it susceptible to dryness and chapping.

Our stylish, functional Lip Therapy tins with their original retro look are perfect to help keep lips healthy and protected from the elements.

Packaging : You can see that it comes in paper and plastic pack, after tearing it I got a bright peach color of lip balm with white head but when I actually open it to see how the balm looks inside. I found that it looks like a vicks inhaler, the bright red thing is the cap of lip balm and for balm you have to twist it like any other usual lip balm. 

It comes in four different types -

• Original has long been a firm favourite in handbags and pockets
• Aloe Vera adds an extra soothing touch of hydration
• Sun protection with SPF15 helps to protect you from the sun's harmful rays
• Rosy Lips brings out the natural rosy tones in your lips by soothing and gently tinting.

I got its Rosy lips. So can't say much about its other lip balms.

Price - 100/- for 4 g.

Texture - It's pink shade really attracts and only one thought comes in mind is that it gives lips a really nice pinky color with moisturization. But all thoughts gone away when I applied it, it will not give you tinted pink lips or rosy lips. 

:( 

Yes, it's true I vigorously applied it on my lips to get that color or tinted effect but nothing got what I expected. :(

Smell - It has mild fruity smell, which is pleasant. :)

 Here is the 20-25 times vigorously swatch of Vaseline Lip therapy Rosy lips -

Pros -

Moisturizing, same as normal Vaseline we use.

Handy.

Fruity Smell.

Cute packaging.

Color of lip balm is attractive.

No problem with availability. 

Cons -

Tinted but not that much.


Rating : 3 / 5


I'll not recommend it to you gals because there are better lip balms available in market.

Abstract Nail Art

Hello Galz!!

I'm here again with another nail art. This is an abstract design on my nails. If I have to explain this nail art in simple words than this is just flower petals with black background.

So let's start this simple abstract nail art -

Step 1 - Simply color all your nails with black, here I used a bit shimmery black nail paint.

Step 2 - Now make a small curve with pink nail paint on right corner of nail tip using nail art brush and fill this curve area with same pink nail paint.

Step 3 - Now take purple nail paint and make a petal next to pink petal as you can see in picture below.

Step 4 - Make next petal with bright green nail paint using nail art brush.

Step 5 - And at last make a small petal with red nail paint next to green colored petal.
Step 6 - Secure it with transparent top coat.

Hope you like my art of work. :)
