Benefits of coconut and coconut milk for skin !!

COCONUT....I know know.......no need to tell introduction about coconut..but here is a small introduction ..it's a member of palm family.Coconuts are different from any other fruits because they contain a large quantity of "water" .coconut milk in particular is actually the liquid you get from pressing the white coconut meat (whereas coconut water is the water found waiting inside the coconut itself).The health benefits of coconut oil include hair care, skin care, stress relief, maintaining cholesterol levels, weight loss, increased immunity, proper digestion and more...

Today's topic is mainly the benefits of coconut for skin.There are three main products we can use from coconut..they are coconut oil,coconut milk and coconut water.i am using coconut oil from my childhood till now to my hair.it's my must have.especially i use parachute coconut oil which is a coconut oil brand available in INDIA.

In winters i apply coconut oil to my body before shower as it moistures my skin well.My grand mother use this as a massage oil,she is using coconut oil as a massage oil since many years.she told that it works better than any other oil.It acts as an effective moisturiser on all types of skins including dry skin.

The benefit of coconut oil on the skin is comparable to that of mineral oil,unlike mineral oil, there is no chance of having any side effects on the skin with the application of coconut oil. Coconut oil therefore is a safe solution for preventing dryness .coconut oil forms the basic ingredient of various body care products such as soaps, lotions, creams, etc., used for skin care. Coconut oil also helps in preventing degenerative diseases due to its antioxidant properties.

Coconuts are part of the daily diet of many people.Coconut milk is a healthy addition to your diet because It’s a healthy and dairy free food. Especially helpful for people who want to avoid dairy, are lactose intolerant, or have dairy allergies.coconut milk Is an effective skin cleanser and exfoliator.Helps blood vessels and skin stay elastic and flexible.Coconut milk, when used with cleansers can take away dirt and oil from the skin. It creates a clean, soft, and smooth complexion. Coconut milk salt scrubs gently exfoliate the top skin layer while leaving the next layer smooth and supple.Coconut milk has higher values of antioxidants – phenolic antioxidants, as compared to coconut oils. One reason for this is the fact that organic coconut growers plant coconut in soils rich in nutritional value. It makes your skin respond to the product making it more effective than diluted or chemically enhanced products. It is a fact that if you have sensitive skin, coconut milk is the suitable natural skin care  product for you.

Coconut oil makes an inexpensive replacement for lotion that replaces the oil barrier, kills germs, prevents ageing, soaks in quickly, and lasts for hours.Acne is one of the conditions that is most efficiently dealt with by coconut oil, and if you’re suffering from such problems on a regular basis, it can definitely be worth it to try some coconut oil solutions and see how they work for you.i really want to share one useful tip ...whenever u shave /epilate your skin..after that apply coconut oil to give yourself that smooth shave and not leave any ingrown hairs or other potential problems for the future.

Main benefits :

Removes dead skin

A very good moisturiser

Germ fighting capabilities

Easily absorbed

natural product free of harsh chemicals

Long-term benefits in regular use

coconut oil can be used as a great  massage oil

Hope this post is helpful.


Any how..most of the summary included here are from my own experience...as coconut is natural product most of the people wont get side effects...so,have you tried coconut/coconut milk for skin.. what's your experience..do share with me....

Basic makeup kit for beginners !!

Heyy..yaaa friends..hope you all are enjoying weekend !! mine is very boring today ..and weather also chilling cold here in London.just we are at home and watching some movies and browsing net ..blah..blah....

and yes..coming to today's post i just want to share "Basic makeup kit " for beginners.After started my blog i got some knowledge in make up ,i read /reading lot of other blogs and watched so many you tube videos to learn some basics.i think now its time to share with you all ....

What you need 

1.Foundation/BB cream/Tinted moisturiser

I prefer using BB cream /TM on daily basis.If you want a heavy coverage for your face you can use foundation.the main purpose of using  them is to keep your face fresh ,oil free and to cover your blemishes .

Read 17 BB cream review

Natural collection Tinted moisturiser review

Rimmel wakeme up foundation review

2. Concealer/corrector 

If you have under eye dark circles/any blemishes that you could not cover up with your foundation /BB cream.this is the product to cover those blemishes.

3.Pressed powder/loose powder

i suggest you all to use a powder to fix all your foundation routine.

4.Eye liner 

As this is a make up kit for beginners,i skipped eye shadow...and of course eye liner plays a key role.i suggest using a pencil eye liner ..its easy  for beginners.

Read Types of eye liners and usage

5.Mascara 

Invest a good mascara.it is used to enhance the eyes.The main purpose of mascara is to lengthen ,thicken and curl your lashes..so that your eyes look 
more beautiful

6.Lipstick 

Add some colour to your lips ...if you dont like to use lipsticks,use tinted lip balms..they r your normal lipbalms with tint of colour.if you want your lipstick to stay longer use a lipliner underneath the lipstick

Read  some lip products reviews here

7.Blusher /Bronzer

This is optional...for beginners i dont recommend using these,as if you apply them in wrong way..u may look like a clown.


Hope this is helpful...if you want to know more...fell free to mail me Cutepinknpurple@gmail.com

Till next time..

stay healthy and beautiful !!

Review : Sleek creme to powder foundation in shade Barley !!

Hey my little cup cakes..how r u all?hope u all having a good time !!

Today i want to review sleek creme to powder foundation...last month in superdrug there was a 3 for 2 offer on whole makeup..i bought 2 sleek eye shadow palettes and as there was a 3 for  2 offer,i was looking for another good product from sleek...then i found this one...and now i am very much satisfied as i got this..its a very good product !!

Price : £7.99 for 9gms.

Product description : 

Crème to Powder Foundation provides a super-smooth finish, with medium-to-full coverage that is perfect for concealing dark circles and blemishes.

Ingredients : 

Ingredients Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Poly (methyl methacrylate), Nylon-12, Isononyl Isononanoate, Octyl Strearate, Octyl Palmitate, Beeswax, Candelilla Wax, Aluminum Starch, Octenyl Succinate, Jojoba Esters, Microcrystalline Wax, Methylparaben and Propylparaben. May contain: [ +/- CI. 77019, CI. 77891, CI. 77492, CI. 77491, CI. 77499]. Suitable for vegetarians. Not suitable for vegans.

Availabilty :

In superdrug across UK / from sleek website Here

My experience :

As it claims,it gives medium to full coverage..it is easily blendable.i use my fingers to apply .i dont even use concealer when i use this product.it covers dark circles and blemishes as i need light to medium coverage for my face.

It contains spf 15 and written as oil free make up and yes..it is oil free, upto 6/7 hours my face feels really fresh and oil free.it comes in a black round packaging .comes with a powder puff./sponge.but its completely waste to apply this particular product.you can apply powder with that sponge.

i found only one draw back that is choice of the shades This shade " Barley " is little lighter than my skin tone..but still its good on me...i have to check in summer ,if i get some tan it may not be useful as a foundation but i can use it as a concealer though.

I highly recommend this to every one if you get a perfect match for your skin tone..you will defrinitely love this.hope my review is helpful

5 outfits and my opinion !!

Guest post by Naana  :

Hi, my name is Naana and i blog over at Miss Versatile. Today, i will be sharing with you all some of the beautiful dresses i saw via We Heart It and my opinion of them!

I really like this outfit! It's like perfect! I love the dress, the blazer, the accessories, everything! hawalian shirts for women The colours work perfectly together! This girl really has great fashion sense because she is making everything work perfectly! I can't stop staring at the dress and the waist belt and the ''statement'' making necklace(now, I'm actually blabbering)! This is a great day outfit!

I don't like this one at all! Maybe it is the whole animal print or the hoody thing but everything is not working! Yes, it may look cute to you but i guess it doesn't to me because it's not the kind of outfit that i would wear! But i guess it would be suitable for an evening out? What do you think? I don't like it at all so it's a bit difficult trying to think of the perfect occasion to put this on! cute shirts for women

This is cute! I would wear it but i wish it wear longer, just below my knees.It would be perfect for a night out but in another colour, perfect for church! I really like the details going n on top of the bust and the belt is makes a great waist details! Overall, great outfit! And hey, did you see her purse? Fabulous!

Really like this one! I would wear it! The dress is beautiful and the belt totally works! The watch too works great with the whole outfit! Overall, superb! A beautiful dress and statement making accessories! Perfect day outfit!
you can get women clothing Here

like this one! Very beautiful! It is very simple with a bit of ruffle details going on(known as emphasis)! I love the colour and i think it would be perfect with simple black heels whether low or a bit high! 

Hope you all liked this guest post and remember to check out my blog Miss Versatile for more stuff like this!

♥ Beauty Tips for Winter ♥

Hi friends...how r u all? this is my very first post in this year..one again a very happy new year to all...

I want to start my first post of this year  with some natural beauty tips.As we are all suffering/enjoying these winters...many of my friends requested me for this post...Hope these tips are helpful..

1.Moisturise your body and face at least twice a day....dont for get to do the same before go to bed.

2.If you use a soap for bathing..make sure it is creamy,before taking bath apply oil to your body and face .

3. Dont take bath with very hot water, because it can reduce the skin's natural oils.

4.if you are suffering from chapped lips try " Vaseline lip therapy " it worked for me .....it is the best.

5.As we all know . these chilling days..we always wish to have hot/spicy foods...there is a less chance of taking fruits and juices...so take care of yourself..drink plenty of water..stay healthy and beautiful

6.Use a good hand cream for your hands as they are very sensitive and effect easily these winters.

7.coming to make-up  ,the best tip is mix your foundation with moisturiser...and continue with your regular make up

Till next time..take care..

A very Happy New Year to All!

May we live as God intended,

in the world at peace and

with the awareness of

His love in every sunset,

every flower's unfolding petals, 

every baby's smile, 

every lover's kiss, and 

every wonderful, astonishing, 

miraculous beat of our heart.

A very Happy New Year to All!
