From The Kitchen To Your Hair

As the cold weather kicks in, many women have hair problems like dandruff, split ends and flyaways.
So if you hair is dry, damage and has lost it's shine, you can revitalize it with a homemade hair mask.

Mehndi Tattoos

Hello Beauties!!

Today my brother forced me to make these tattoos on his hand. I was feeling better so made these tattoos on his both hands. A Dragon tattoo and Love written in Chinese. I used red mehndi which fades off completely in 10 days and gives dark red color in one or half an hour.

Color after removing mehndi --

Have you tried mehndi tattoo? What design you would like to have as mehndi tattoo?

Makeup Tips For Your Nose Shape

Hello Beauties! 
Sorry for posting after so many days and I think I'll take few more days to recover from my accident. :(
Today I'm gonna tell you great useful makeup tips according to your nose shape. If you find your nose shape too long or too short, too broad or too skinny then don't feel disappoint because there are number of women just like you who feel unhappy about their nose. 
Nose contouring is a magical makeup trick to disguise your nose using highlighting and contouring techniques. If you're an Indian then you must have seen nose contouring trick in serial like Uttaran (Channel : Colors).

Broad Nose - Slim down a broad nose with a foundation that is one shade darker than your natural skintone. Sweep along the sides of the nose with a small, firm makeup brush. Start just below the inner corners of the eyebrows, and end at the sides of the nostrils.
Stroke a lighter shade of foundation down the bridge of the nose. Blend well.

Long Nose - Apply a foundation or concealer that is a few shades darker than your natural skintone onto the tip, between and around the nostrils.

Short Nose - Using a darker shade of foundation or a bronzer along the sides of nose. Apply the bronzer from the tip of your nose to the groove between your eyebrows. Contouring the nose from the Centre will really help to give the impression of an elongated nose.

Flat Nose - Apply highlight down the center of the nose, avoiding the sides. Smooth and blend down the center.

Long Nose -  Apply a foundation or concealer that is a few shades darker than your natural skintone onto the tip, between and around the nostrils.

Still feel unhappy with the way your nose looks simply draw attention away from your nose by making your eyes look gorgeous. In this way everyone will notice your eyes. :)

Get Diwali Look in 15 Minutes

Hello Beauties and Happy Dhanteras !!!!

I've shopped a silver coin and a fat silver anklets / payal for dhanteras and I always feel happy when I shop. So I'm Happy :D

This is my brand new Oriflame Make That Change Palette which has lovely matte and glitter eyeshadows, blushes and glitter and matte lipsticks/lippies. You can say this is my new love. <3

Okay! let's get to the point, Diwali is near and we all are very excited. We usually get ready for Diwali puja in the evening but sometimes we need to get ready quickly for any reason you can come up with. So here are some quick tips and an eye look idea for Diwali.

1) Start off by washing your face with good face wash. 2) Next take a pinch of a light-base face moisturizer and spread it evenly on all parts of your face. 3) After soaking in the moisturizer, it’s time for strutting that flawless complexion with the Foundation. 4) Follow it up with the compact powder, until the shiny patches of your skin are toned down. Now comes the eye makeup - Apply eye primer or foundation to hide those dark circles which is given by your laptop/computer.

6) Now apply a light creamy shimmer eye shadow on whole eyelid.

7) Use golden and earthy brown eye shadow on eyelid and on crease respectively.

8) Now apply gel or liquid eyeliner on upper lash line with a wing. You can also make cat eyeliner. I've used Maybelline gel eye liner here.

9) Apply blue eye pencil on waterline and lower lash line. Use golden eye shadow on lower lash line below the blue liner. Do not forget to add two coats of mascara to plump up those beautiful lashes and give them some volume!

	For blush -
	Dab a good amount of the Blush to give your apple cheeks that much needed glow.
	For Lips -
	Finally highlight your luscious lips with any pink, brown or red shades, and then outline your lips with the same color of lip liner.
	Finish the look by dabbing a dash of nude Lip Gloss. Hope this will help you to get ready in few minutes.

Wish you all a very Happy Diwali and may your life get filled with lightness and brightness of Dipawali.

“Love Your Hair and it Loves You Back”

I'm the person who loves experimenting especially with hairs. I started experiments with my hair when I was 16. Till today's date I've done Hair Streaking, Hair coloring, Rebounding or Straightening, Permanent Curling or perming. I couldn't control myself doing all these things. The word "experiment with insanity" suits me completely. 

After then I started facing a big problem of hair falling and my hairs become dry/brittle/frizzy. Making them soft and healthy again is a daunting task for me. I've used number of products for my hairs to combat these problems but nothing happened till I got New Dove Nourishing Oil Care Range. :)

New Dove Nourishing Oil Care Range With Vita oils

I got all 4 of them (Mask, Shampoo, Conditioner & Serum) and start using it as it was directed to use.

Here is a brief story about Dove MSCS (Mask, Shampoo, Conditioner & Serum) -

Dove Repair Mask - It's a light yellow mask with pleasant smell. You'll love it when you apply it. I applied a handful quantity which spreads easily on my hairs. It makes my hair extremely soft.
Dove Shampoo - A light yellow shampoo which gives enough foam in a little quantity which cleanses hair completely and washed out each and every dirt particle from your hairs.
Dove Conditioner - I just LOVE it. When I squeeze the tube it comes out in star shape with two colors white and gold. I swear by this product. No Tangling, No Dryness, only smooth and shiny hairs.
Dove Serum - Serum is good for all day happy to go hair either you go for whole day window shopping or for 9 to 5 office.

Seeing Is Believing -

I started seeing the magic from the very first wash. I was amazed by looking at my hair, they were soft and I can see the shininess too. And what I've seen in ad that hair fall comes 100 to 2, that was true when usually I wash my hairs number of hairs fall down during wash but I noticed that only 1 hair falls during wash which was incredible.

I was delighted and couldn't believe it. But my eyes were seeing this magic so seeing is believing.

It's far better than a saloon selling hair product and also inexpensive. Anyone can get in budget. It leaves your hair so moisturized and soft.

After few days I visited my In-Law's place and my mother-in-law asked me what I'm using for my hairs they are shining. I told her the truth, Yes! I told her Dove.
This is the end of my search for my HG hair care products.

These are few pics I've taken to show you how Dove happened to my hair -

Before

After using Dove for 2 days

My hair brush - You can see before every time I brush my hair, number of hairs fall down and it also happens because of tangling of hairs.

Before

 Now you can see the difference -

After

Now my hairs don't fight with my comb, they are living with each other happily. :)

I definitely recommend it to those with treated hair or damaged hair and to those who wants to give a complete care to their hairs in budget.
