♥ DIY : Home made Rose water and uses ♥

Hello all..Thanks for stopping !!

I have plenty of roses in my garden these days...i shared the picture in Fb page Here They r just beautiful...some of those are ready to fall,so i plucked those roses and i wanted to make something useful from them..so here comes my idea of making " DIY Fresh home made rose water "

You can just use this for urself or a very good idea for giving as a gift to your friends &family as i do..Its so simple !! Lets go the method without any delay !!






What u need :

Fresh rose petals 
Big bowl for boiling 
distilled water 
Filter
 and some containers/bottles for storage


Procedure :

1. Clean the rose petals with water and slightly crush them ,These r the rose petals i have used,i took around 10 roses


2. Boil them in a bowl ,i used a steel bowl ( stir in between )


3.After some time yo can see discoloration of the rose petals ,this time you can switch of the flame


4.Let it cool down now Drain the water


                                        Tada..we r done !!

 Here is our fresh home made rose water,i didnt add any other oils or preservatives.i stored this DIY Home made Rose water in small travel containers,which i bought from walmart for around $2.



Just keep these bottles in refrigerator and enjoy !! you can use this Fresh home made rose water up-to one week  as we didn't add any preservatives !!



Uses/Benefits of  Home made Rose water :

1.It is a great cleanser and aids in removing oil and dirt accumulated in clogged pores. Thus preventing acne and pimples
2.A great Toner
3.Just add a cup of rose water in a mug and rinse your hair with the water after shampoo and conditioner. now rinse ur hair again with Luke warm water.
4.spray rosewater on ur bedsheets in ur bedroom before going to bed.
5.Add in milk based deserts/yogurts,make sure to not add much !!
6.Mix with any of ur face masks instead of using water
7.The best and easiest way to use it is to apply it at night. It helps clear all impurities that your face has collected through the day

so..what else you are expecting from this ...Hope u too enjoy the benefits of  DIY Home made Rose water

Till next time..take care...Happy weekend !!

With lots of love

Maybelline Colossal Kajal Review, Swatch & FOTD !!

Hello My cupcakes..Thanks for stopping BY !! 

How is ur week going on...i heard summers are too hard this time in time in India ...take care all of you ...hope monsoons hit India soon...and i pray God for that !! 

Today i will be reviewing my favorite kajal/eye liner .This is my third one..i always forgot to review this..lets jump into the review..:)




Price of Maybelline Colossal Kajal : 150 INR / $3 ( Appx)

comes in a bright yellow color with twist up packaging 

Description of Maybelline Colossal Kajal :


This deep black kajal creates smudge-free bold lines that last for up to 12 hours. Fortified with 5 enriching ingredients, Maybelline’s Colossal kajal not only beautifies your eyes, but soothes and nourishes them as well.

  • Here’s why you’ll love it:
  • • Has deep black pigments that deliver intense color and the blackest shine
  • • color doesn’t smudge or fade
  • • Enriched with nourishing Ingredientsand Vitamin E to soothe the eye
  • • Features a unique tip that glides smoothly for even application

My views on Maybelline Colossal Kajal :

This is my favourite kajal..i have ever used..i love the kajals/eye liners available in India..they r intense black and lasts long.i have used Boots eyeliner when i was in UK,but its not jet black .

I use this Maybelline Colossal Kajal on water line  and upper lash line too.i have very sensitive eyes,it doesnt cause any irritation till now..the only draw back of this is ..no Ingredients list mentioned for this product !!

It claims to be smudge proof...but its not 100% smudge proof !! but anyways i am totally impressed with the staying power,intensity and the color....i am running out of this now..this is my last one..now i am in search for a best kajal available in USA..if u have any suggestions pls let me know ..

swatch  of Maybelline Colossal Kajal:


FOTD using Maybelline Colossal Kajal: 

here i have used this for both upper. lower lashline and waterline !!


so..whats ur favorite kajal??

till..next time..with lots of Love

My views on e.l.f StudioTranslucent MattifyingPowder :

First of all,I love the packaging.reminds me of sleek packaging.Very sturdy as u can see in the pic,comes with the mirror and sponge applicator which is very useful.The powder blends easily into my skin..

As i said i use the sponge with very light handed to apply this on my face and neck...it mattifies  my face instantly ,But i should say the maatifying effect is not long lasting,i dont have oily skin though. i have to reapply this..

Overall,If you are looking for a affordable powder you should check this !!
