Review: Vaseline cocoa butter body lotion

        

         Even though I love my bath and body lotions, but the Vaseline cocoa butter lotion always seems to be my go to out of the shower moisturizer. I LOVE IT! The scent is not overpowering yet smells great it lasts for couple of hours.VERY RELAXING!!!! It keeps my skin moisturized. What I love about this product is that its not sticky/greasy,  just the perfect amount of moisture. I cannot mention any cons because it is a great product and works for me, I do recommend it!  It is good value for money.

Clean Look!

Simplicity makes beauty!

 

Its nice to be natural...A clean makeup no makeup look is easy and doesn't take time


1. use a tinted moisturizer for the face

2. Apply a sweep of bright shimmery shadow(you can even skip this step).. mascara..and thin eyeliner( or no liner)

3. creamy blushes work great for this look, nothing too flashy..warm pinks or peach tones.

4. A tinted lip balm (i love blistex) or clear lip gloss/ lip butter.

Takes less than 5 minutes

Voila...have a nice day!

Review: Suave Professionals Dry Shampoo

 
Personally I’m not a fan of dry shampoos, I don’t like using a lot of hair sprays, gels or mouse on my hair, maybe that’s why I have thick long hair (well could be one of the reasons). But many busy women swear by dry shampoos! Using dry shampoo soaks up the oil on the scalp, leaving the hair looking refresh and clean.

I have tried several dry shampoos, but I am not a huge fan…recently I purchased the Sauve dry shampoo. I didn’t use a lot but the bottle seemed to finish in less than 2 weeks…and the smell isn’t that bad it’s a fruity tropical scent…but its so strong for me  and for some reasons makes my throat itch..DON’T ASK I don’t know why!!!! Sadly as much as I wanted to like this product but it didn’t work for me, others may like it but not me. I wont be repurchasing this product again.

Review: Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs



                                                                          Sally Hansen

In a rush to an event or just want to wear something short and you aren't happy with your legs? well i must say this happens to me every time and i end up wearing something long, but recently i came across this magic potion as i like to call it. My legs instantly look smooth, hides away the veins and EVERY IMPERFECTION on my legs. It is very lightweight and doesn't transfer onto the clothes..i love it!! plus its water resistance. well how do u take if off? simple just wash it off with a washcloth or soap but i prefer to scrub it off...it does give a great tan, dries on your skin really fast. Giving a natural even glow.
Reality TV star Kim Kardashian uses it to cover her psoriasis and posted it on her blog on September 6, 2011 saying: 'I’m using Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs spray and it is my lifesaver at the moment! I love this stuff! It really covers up my psoriasis so well'


It also comes in 4 shades ( Light, medium, tan, deep GLOW)


below images are of kim kardashian (before & after) that she posted on her site.

Review: NYX Cosmetics- Powder Blush


Image from nyxcosmetics.com
If i had the option to choose 2 makeup products that i could only use one would be my mascara and the second would be my blush!!!!
I have been using NYX powder blushes for the past 2 years and I am loving it...every once in a while i do try different ones, but when i apply my NYX blushes i receive many compliments.
why i love my NYX blushes so much?!?!
first who doesn't love a product that is inexpensive and works well.
it is Pigmented.
they last for hours (hours i am telling you)
Comes in many shades manyyy ( matte and sheer)!!...currently i use the peach shade for daytime it creates a natural glow for me and i use the mauve shade for nighttime.

what are your favorite blushes?

DIY: LIP SCRUB





Who doesn't love to have smooth kissable lips?!?!Or do you prefer dry flaky chapped lips??!
This DIY exfoliating sugar scrub is easy to make and ofcourse apply. All you need is brown or white sugar (exfoliant), honey (hydration), olive oil (moisturizer) and powdered cinnamon (plumper).

Try this once a week, plus don't forget to keep your lips moisturized and drink plenty of water.

Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon of brown or white sugar
1/2 teaspoon of honey
1/2 teaspoon of olive oil
a pinch of powdered cinnamon (optional)

First mix all the ingredients together in small bowl or even on the palm of your hand. (i use the palm of my hand). Using your finger  rub it on dry lips gently, in small circular motions. Scrub for couple of minutes, and then wipe with a warm washcloth. Finally apply chap stick or lip balm to lock in the moisture.

Do not over exfoliate as it can damage your sensitive skin.

Enjoy scrubbing!!!

Review: Bioderma Sensibio H2O

I was frustrated that my eye makeup wouldn't come out perfectly and that every night when i cleaned my face and removed my makeup..the next morning I would  wake up with panda eyes, my eye makeup wouldn't be completely clean. I went to the pharmacy and the lady recommended the Bioderma Sensibio H2O and said it is formulated for sensitive normal to dry skins. she started going on about it... and i just bought the smaller bottle just to try it out...
I don't use it on my face (i use face scrub and face wash) but only for my eyes...I personally love wearing mascara, eyeshadow and liners...whether its waterproof or not...bioderma makeup remover works best for me. 
I have tried so many products and I am still looking for the ONE but so far this has been my top choice..and currently I'm in my second bottle.. it doesn't irritate my eyes at all..
If you think of trying a new product just buy the smaller size one and try it out...

No More panda looking eyes for me in the morning...

Well I was searching online n looking for remedies that are good for constipation.
And I came across SEA SALT WATER!!
Well here it goes..i don’t even want to write how you make it.
But my god it was so salty, did I mention it was the biggest mistake of my life?!
Why is that? Well I ended up in the hospital..this is the second day but my stomach got so bloated!!! SOO BLOATED that my biggest pair of pants wouldn’t fit me..the zipper wouldn’t close… my shirts were too tight
Yes to that extend!! and the pain that i was going through was unbelievable! worst stomach ache that i ever had.
Please  please PALEZZ do not believe what you read on the internet, regarding your health
Ask your doctor! That’s always the best. I learned my lesson.

ps. Google sea salt water for constipation you will see pages and articles on it and people who have tried it.
pss Google sea salt water side effects...and you will be shocked

I'm still trying to recover....lesson learned for me is that anything regarding my health and these remedies that i will read online  I WILL NOT TRY! AMEEEN

Feel Good Head to Toe!!


 "If you can just be yourself, then you have to be original because there's no one like you."Marc Newson


Has it ever happened to you, you are getting ready to go out with your friends, or to an event, and then when you finally take a look in the mirror ready to leave the door you just dont feel right?! something is wrong!!

well this happened to me alot of times, and I have learned my lesson, that little details count.

If I don’t like what I'm wearing and keep questioning myself. I change my outfit even if i looked good in it when I bought it (or at other times) doesn't mean that on that particular day/night I'd look good in it. Can be any outfit the jeans, shirt, or even my hair and makeup that doesn't look good all together.

Same thing goes for shoes and bags.


First things first, HAIR having good hair is a must, I cant just dress up and have messy hair. It just makes the look real MESSY!!! I can easily go for a nice bun.


And lets not forget the nails always maintaining good nails..if you don’t have time to get a manicure and pedicure atleast have them filed so they are all in one length, and apply nail polis.


Accessorizing for me doesn’t have to be to much of a bling bling. I like to personally keep it simple. So with accessorizing I cant tell you to do big necklace earrings and all because it’s a personal preference.


Makeup: Be Creative Be YOU.

I especially love the hand washes it is so moisturizing! I do have sensitive hands, they get real dry, but the BBW hand soaps doesn't make my hands dry at all.
Hand creams yummy smells good and it is a product that i am happy with.

Anyways have a nice moisturizing day n see ya on the next post..
