BEAUTY FINDS IN YOUR KITCHEN

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” 

― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

I always prefer my blogs to be short precise and to the point , because when I read any random blog or any piece of information I want it quick and short so that I get the idea behind the post and its purpose

So my goal is to provide much information in less words. Keeping that in mind I am trying to post a beauty regime that you are going to love

The world is full of cosmetics and various corrective products for skin as well as hair, its all billion dollar industry , where one can get whatever they aspire for. So in the world full of beauty products for hair and skin I swear by totally natural ingredients which are readily available in your kitchen shelves. These accessible home stock are always on my top list to cure all your skin and hair related issues

These little kitchen secrets are there to cure your biggest hair and skin concerns. So let’s take a look at them one by one

So the most common problem we usually face is dry skin especially when the weather is cold, but it’s so common that doesn’t matter what weather is it

HOW TO BRIGHTEN DULL SKIN

What we Need

Gram flour (or rose petal powder), Honey, Curd, Turmeric , Almond oil

  1. Take a gram flour around 1 tbsp, I am using gram flour here. You can use rose petal powder if you want. You can order it online or try making it at home to keep it as natural as you can
  2. Mix 1tsp honey
  3. Add a pinch of turmeric
  4. Add 1tsp curd and few drops of almond oil
  5. Mix all the ingredients very well
  6. Apply it on your face and keep it for 15-20 mins

This brings an instant glow and moisture to the skin, try it folks!

Another problem which is very common is frizzy hair and flyways , which literally kill all the fun of trying any new hairdo , especially braids with partition

HOW TO TAME DRY AND FRIZZY HAIR

What we need

Banana, Honey and Coconut Oil

  1. As all the ingredients are natural so we can see that Banana contains Potassium as well as Vit C and B6, that help add shine and repair damage. One banana is sufficient
  2. Add 1 tsp Honey as it is humectant and moisturises hair by adding shine to it
  3. Add 1 tbsp Coconut oil as it is great for hair because of its linear chain molecular structure that helps in penetrating deep into shaft and deliver essential nourishment and repair damage
  4. Blend all the ingredients in a food processor
  5. Apply paste on your hair and keep it for 30 min
  6. Wash it off with mild shampoo

Voila! brace yourself for silky smooth hair within few minutes

Problem of dark spots is not new to us at all and we have already watched tons of tutorials and tips of how to get rid of them, blame it to your lifestyle routine the biggest reason for your dark spots is lack of sleep which leads to many other problems. So lets see how to get rid of them nice and easy

HOW TO LIGHTEN DARK SPOTS

What we need

Lemon and Curd

  1. Take lemons as they are powerful source of citric acid which is best known ingredients for brightening skin and removing dark spots
  2. Add curd (can also use buttermilk ) as it contains lactic acid, which is alpha hydroxy acid and aids exfoliation. The combination of potent brightening agent with a natural exfoliator helps in lightening sun-induced spots with regular base

Trust me you can see visible results within a week !

HOW TO SOFTEN FLAKY SKIN

Sometimes you can not predict your skin, its hard to understand what’s going on inside our bodies which have numerous effect on our skin tone and texture, one such is flaky skin, I usually face this problem during my makeup. Although I already applied enough moisturiser and primer then too it seems flaky and spoils all the fun

But by using few ingredients I can make an scrub mask to combat this problem

What we Need

Almonds, Honey and Argan oil

  1. Take an almond which contains saturated fats, Vit- E, Manganese, Magnesium, Copper and Vit-B2. Powdered it. Granular base helps in exfoliation and remove dead skin cells
  2. Add honey, with its moisturising properties its easy to make a paste
  3. Add Argan oil that contains 80% saturated fats which makes it excellent for dry skin. It also contains Vit-E, phenols and Squalene which have anti agin and anti oxidant benefits
  4. Now apply this scrub gently in upward motion on your face for 5mins
  5. Wash it off with lukewarm water

There you go , with soft and supple skin which feels so good!

PS: If you can’t find Argan oil easily you can replace it by olive oil or sweet almond oil

I never knew that these handy kitchen ingredients are this beneficial

BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL

“Freedom lies in being bold.” 

― Robert Frost

Crazy Times are going on. As we are leading quarantine lives in our safe homes we are experimenting new ideas and make this time as useful as we can, because all we need to do is to pass this time smoothly and safely. Social media is always enraged with beauty and fashion DIY’s tutorials whether it’s quarantine or not

I am not at all professional in making these tutorials for fashion and beauty but as I said earlier we need to keep us busy during this hard time, so what we can do better than keeping ourselves busy doing creative stuff and of course something which is not only creative but easy to execute as well as look fabulous too. One such beauty tutorial which I like to try today is all about boosting your glamour quotient

Marsala, is one such colour which says it all, this red brownish tone is all time rage and little of it can give an instant magnetism which reflects in the whole look

Let’s go!!!!

GET THE LOOK

FACE

  1. Begin with cleansing , toning and moisturising your face
  2. You can apply a good primer to conceal scars and blemishes
  3. Apply BB cream to keep the makeup light( I usually prefer BB cream over foundation)
  4. Let it sit for a minute before you set your base with a compact powder

CHEEKS

  1. Since the focus is on the lips, keep those cheeks subtle
  2. Apply an apricot blush on the apple of your cheeks and blend it with golden highlighter

EYES

  1. Choose a shimmery light golden eye shadow and swipe on the lids
  2. Rim the waterline with a bronze eye pencil
  3. Add a glitter highlighter in the inner corner of your eyes
  4. Blush out the lashes with volumising mascara

LIPS

Especially for the looks like these we focus more on lips

  1. Prepare by moisturising with a good lip balm
  2. Once the lips feel soft and smooth apply a matte marsala shade lip
  3. colour/crayon

Anddd…. you are done!!

Feel that boldness in your look and rock it!

PS: Don’t forget to scrub your lips before starting your makeup. If you don’t have marsala shade lip colour you can blend your red lipstick with brown one to achieve an earthy marsala hue

Thanks for reading 🙂

WAVES OF WONDER

“Somethings are basic, your hair shouldn’t be”

Hey there, its time to ditch the regular ponytail and opt for a wavy one. Waves always gives that edge to your whole look. This hairstyle always uplifts any face shape. What else you can ask for? When teamed up with a healthy shine it will take you from day to night without looking warped or insipid. That’s new hairstyle for you. But the condition is that it should be more simple and less tedious. So here is the one:

How To Do It:

Begin by rinsing your hair with a hydrating shampoo, and condition it thereafter

Pick a hair elixir/Serum that provides heat protection along with shine, and apply to damp hair.

Detangle it and blow dry for smooth mane.

Use curling iron to tong your hair into tight curls that begin close to the roots.

Run a paddle brush to break the curls and achieve a wavy texture.

Push your hair back gently by running your fingers. Tie your hair in a ponytail, take a tiny section from it to wrap around the band for seamless finish. Lock in the style by spritzing your hair with a voluminising spray.

So easy and Neat

This gleaming hairdo is so youthful and can be tried at any formal stylish chic event nonchalantly.

It is easy to create, and could be your saviour on days you are running short on major style transformations. Also if you have thin hair then this style gives a volume to your hair, which actually changes your over all look. This gives us huge style inspiration. I think we should give it a try at least once. And who knows it becomes a staple.

So Happy Hair To You!!

DO YOU LOVE YOUR FACE?

“Sometimes people are beautiful.
Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.” 

― Markus Zusak, I Am the Messenger

We all love doing makeup, lighter or darker, simple or creative and of various types but do we ever realize the most integral part of our makeup is its tools, which we use to perform all possible looks we want. We use brushes, sponges, spatulas, or maybe Q-tips. Q-tips are the ones you can use and throw, but brushes and sponges are the ones that you hardly tell when they are dirty. Moreover, the brushes which we use for eyeliners or applying foundation seem like they have only product residue. Brush bristles and sponges are both porous; which means they hold onto oils, debris, dead skin and even bacteria.

So all my beauty with brains friends out there answers me with one simple question? What is the point of spending thousands of bucks on expensive skin care products, when you are directly giving germs-free access?

Let me tell you a very important thing guys. Sometimes just because of the time crunch or just being lazy, we can easily get infected by our own makeup tools because they can be a breeding ground for different kinds of viruses, fungi and bacteria. These can be present in the air all the time and accumulate over time and can enter your bloodstream through even the finest cuts on your face and cause infections. This is the biggest reason why we wonder about breakouts, rashes and other allergic reactions which directly lead to dull and unhealthy skin.

I mean.. it hardly took minutes to clean your makeup brushes and sponges. You only have to gently put them in mild water and applying soap, you can even go for a baby shampoo too if available.

The correct way of doing it is here:

Wet the bristles with lukewarm water and place the drop of cleanser or shampoo into the palm of your hand. Then gently massage the tips of the bristles. Rinse off with cold water. Do not introduce the base of the brush head with water, soap or detergent as it will lead to the loss of the bristles from there resulting in the destruction of your makeup tool.

After rinsing it properly, clean it with a towel, reshape the brush and let it dry with its bristles hanging off the edge of the counter. This would intact the shape of your brush. No drying on a towel.

As well as for the sponges you can soak them up in lukewarm water and shampoo solution, Sponges dry quickly.

Important note: don’t use a bathing bar as it will dry out the bristles and they will be no softer, so don’t use them. A weekly wash is good enough for face tools. If possible do clean the eyeshadow brushes on a daily basis as recommended by the dermatologist, to avoid various eye infections.

My only advice to all of you is just to protect your skin from any damage by simply keeping your makeup tools neat and clean. All the best to you for all the make-up you are planning for the coming festive season.

Stay Beautiful-Stay Healthy- Stay Happy
