Hey all..Thanks for stopping !!

Happy Monday..Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend !! As the weather change happens many of us suffering from skin problems right? You know scrubbing is must in your skin care routine.it exfoliates dead skin cells and keeps your skin fresh and feels good.Today i will be reviewing an budget friendly scrub that is equate beauty blemish control apricot scrub .Lets see more details about this product.

Price of equate beauty blemish control apricot scrub :

 Around $2 for 170gms ,I got mine from Walmart

Packaging of equate beauty blemish control apricot scrub : 

Basic tube packaging with lid.But i like it..because the tube packaging is very hygiene to use compare to tub packing.

My views on equate beauty blemish control apricot scrub :

I bought this product few months back when i was searching for a scrub in Walmart..its very affordable and paraben free..so i wanted to give it a try.I have very sensitive skin..mainly if i scrub my face for more than 5 minutes i will get red scars.so i am very particular about choosing scrubs.I scrub my face once a week ..coming to this scrub..it has a bit strong smell..if you have sensitive nose you may not like this.

The texture is like a medium consistency of a cream with exfoliating pieces.sometimes i use it as an body scrub too.i mix the small amount of this scrub with water and gently massage into my skin for 5 mins..once i wash my skin feels smooth and silky;

Also read how i do my facial at home here

On the tube it is written as compare to St.Ives Apricot scrub,i personally didnt use St.Ives one so that i cant compare.i Like this and i will be purchasing this once i finish using this tube

If you have a chance definitely give it a try, you cant go wrong for the price atleast  !!

Hope my review is helpful !!

Have a great week ahead..till next time..ciao..

Top 10 Home Remedies for Hair !!

Guest post

Healthy hair is the most important symbol of any woman’s  beauty. Women  always want to get healthy long hair but most of them struggle a lot to achieve their desired hair. They try lots of chemicals to overcome their hair problems and get instant results. But there is nothing like instant results. Hair care is a continuous process which needs proper attention on a regular basis, and chemicals may not be a women’s best friend for obvious reasons. Believe it or not, but home remedies may turn out to be the best solution for any and every woman’s hair problems.

Listed below are the top 10 home remedies for hair:

•  Apply the paste of raw egg on your damp scalp and wash your hair with warm water after 30 minutes. Repeat this process every week and you will be more likely to get thicker and smooth hair after 4 months. Egg is a great source of protein, and your hair are made up of protein, so imagine how much benefit you can get with this simple tip.

• Olive oil is great for softening your hair. Massage olive oil gently onto your scalp and leave it overnight. Wash your hair with warm water when you wake up the next morning. By repeating this tip for 2 to 3 months you can get your hair to become soft and smooth as if they are made of silk.

•  Onion juice helps a great deal in reducing hair loss. This is because onion juice has sulphur in it which is an essential component in preventing hair fall. Apply it on your damp scalp and leave it for 30 minutes and then wash your hair with a mild shampoo. This remedy will greatly reduce hair fall and result in thickening of your hair.

•  Aloe Vera juice is great for hair growth. Drink 1 – 2 tablespoon of Aloe Vera juice daily for better hair growth.

• Apply apple cider vinegar on your damp scalp and wash after half an hour. It will maintain the PH balance of your hair resulting in increase in hair growth.

• Potato juice is a secret weapon for hair growth. Their ingredient has vitamin A, B and C, which are helpful for getting healthy hair. Apply it on your damp scalp and wash your hair after 30 minutes. This remedy will greatly help with your hair growth.

• Cayanne pepper helps in preventing hair thinning. Mix 2 table spoon of it with olive oil and apply the mixture gently on your damp scalp. Rinse with warm water and get desired results.

• For dry hair, massage coconut oil onto your scalp thrice a week and get soft silky hair.

• Drink lot of green tea each day as it has antioxidants which help in reduction of hair fall and boost hair volume.

• Garlic is famous for regeneration of new hair and hair growth. Boil it with olive oil and apply onto your scalp and wash your hair after some time. This remedy will single hand dly get you your dream hair.

                             

                                 

Till next time ciao..

Kiss Whitening Collagen Cream Mask Review !!

Hey all.......Thanks for stopping..welcome back to my blog....

how was/is your weekend? Hope you all had great time...as i told u earlier i am looking for a DSLR ..so been to best buy yesterday and checked some...as of now  am loving canon Rebel T5i ..if you have any suggestions do let me know..

Many of you are requesting me a skin care routine.i will be sharing that soon...Anyways my skin is not perfect..i have open pores and black heads...i am very pleased to try Kiss Whitening Collagen Cream Mask  because i have heard lots f good reviews about this..let see my views !!

This Kiss Whitening Collagen Cream Mask is very popular in asia..we al love asian makeup,skin care right? even though its an Asian product you can purchase at kissskincareusa.com they are the sole authorized distributors in North America and they ship worldwide

Here are few facts about Kiss Whitening Collagen Cream Mask

• The "super hygienic pump"
• 100% natural ingredients. The mask is formulated with collagen extract, alpha arbutin, vitamin C+ and other natural extracts.
• Certificate from Thai Ministry of Public Health confirming there are no chemicals such as steroids or mercury.
• Therefore suitable for all skin types. Including oily skin and sensitive skin.
• Developed by a famous celebrity skin beauty expert and dermatologist.

My views on Kiss Whitening Collagen Cream Mask :

First of all,i should say ..i just love the packaging..it comes in a bottle with a vacuum like pump.if you press on top you get some product out ..its very hygienic..i really hate tub packaging though it is not travel friendly and bulky packaging..i love it !!

It is written on the pack , you can use weekly 2 times after your cleansing routine at night.so i am using in the same way.that is 2 times/twice a week...

Within the first few applications...my skin feels really fresh and it brightens up my skin..i can notice clearly.i am using this since 2 months..it reduced the appearance of pores..but don't expect miracles..!! the cream is thick in consistency so i dont prefer using it in the morning thats my personal preference again !!

The fragrance is amazing..i love..love ..how it smells.It moisturizes skin very well,when i wake up in the morning my skin really thank me ..all thanks to kiss..:)

 i  definitely recommend to everyone because ,it is suitable for all skin types..i have extremely sensitive skin. and it suited me well too .so girls give it a try ,you wont be disappointed for sure !!

.

Review and Swatches : Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel " Autumn spice "

Hey all..Thanks for stopping !

Happy Monday ...yeah i know Mondays are very boring .we have to wake up early,get read early...so boring..huh??

Anyways whatever it is..life has to go...now coming out of Monday blues...i have a review of a beautiful shade called " Autumn spice " from  Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel collection.They have total 26 shades ,you can get them from any drug store.They retail for around $5-$6.i bought mine from Walmart 
Lets go the detailed review..

Description of Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel " Autumn spice " :

A whole new way to experience color. Vibrant, shiny shades go on smoothly for flawless color and then dry to light, irresistible fragrances

My views on Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel " Autumn spice "

I am really impressed with the packaging...i just love the packaging.and coming to the scent In my opinion this shade " Autumn spice " has got a strong smell which i am not fan of..but again it depends on personal preference.

This shade "Autumn spice " is very unique..a brown colour with tiny golden shimmers in it.This shade is just perfect for autumn  as i prefer deep shades for Autumn season,But the main reason for my disappointment is the chipping time..as i do all my house hold works washing,cleaning etc., this shade stays only 2 days on my nails,after that it started chipping.i expected more staying power as these are a bit on expensive side ( for me ).i have  some collection of sinfulcolors nail paints ,which are around $1-2 ,they even stayed more time on my nails...

The formula is thin,but within two coats you can get the desired shade on your nails, the brush is good..no issues with the brush

so for me these are average,i have 2 shades,may be i wont get them any more..because for the lesser price i have more options in the market..:)

Have you ever tried them?if so whats your thoughts...do let me know

This is the outfit i wore for a  short shopping trip with my friend...i bought these leggings a while ago..but i was searching for top to go with it..i love to wear long tops with leggings as i have thunder thighs..:(
Hope you like the pics !!

I love these leggings they are light weight and fitted me perfectly...i accessorized with a white crystal necklace and black wedges..Thats it..!! The subtle black and  grey knitted top is perfect match !!
The bag i am using here is from Nine west .i bought this recently from Macy's ..which is so cute ..perfect size i am loving it to the core

I really like simple outfits like these for a casual day out..they are not only comfortable but easy to style...if you know me you can understand..my personal style is girly and cute but i like simple and casual looks too..if its more cold..you can just add a chunky scarf and boots...that would be great too
