DIY Hair Mask–Almost Natural!!!

Hi ladies; pollution and all sorts of hair products are definitely damaging our hair more than we know and think … and no matter how many heat protectants and market purchased hair treatments we buy and apply on our hair; I personally feel that’s just putting way more chemicals into our hair overall – Of course we can always go to beauty salons to get hair treatments done but again too many chemicals and the money issues as well – hehe – of course we girls want the best output at the lowest possible expense : ) this is why I m always looking for some home based treatments for the hair in which I am [ALMOST] fully aware of the ingredients thus totally reducing the chance of putting more chemicals on my head … I have found the below treatment very useful for the hair and thought to share with you girls out there. Here it goes girls …

Ingredients:

Following are the basic items you will need for this treatment; some of these are already available at your home normally:
  1. Your conditioner – half cup – no specific brand; whichever one u use; its better if it is organic – well this is the part which is the ALMOST chemical bit here : P
  2. 1 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  3. 1 cup Coconut Oil
  4. 1 table spoon Organic Honey

Procedure:

Procedure is simple:
  1. Heat Olive Oil, Coconut oil and honey and mix them well. Don’t boil these but bring it to a warm temperature
  2. Mix it with the conditioner and then use a hand blender or machine blender to mix it well.
  3. Allow it to cool to a temperature which is bearable and apply to your hair
  4. Cover your head with a plastic shower cap
  5. Keep it for at least 1 hour and then wash off. You may also keep it overnight [I am guilty of doing this but hey its upto you ; ) ]
You may try this three times a week if your hair are really very dry; gradually you will come to see how it affects your hair and u will know how often you need it.
this was all from my side today, do you experts have any tips/hair masks of your own – do share in the comments below so we can all try them out. After all, sharing is caring :D Ciao!!!

Review - Saeed Ghani's Aloe Vera Serum

20130305_01250620130305_01264920130305_012556
I am a hugeeeeeeee fan of the herbal products and homemade diy's for the skincare and Aloe Vera is one of my favorite herbs for skin care. I even have an aloe vera plant at my home for quick skincare recipes.
 
Recently I came across aloe vera serum in Saeed Ghani's shop and I just HAD to try this out.
It is a small bottle and comes with a spray. The liquid is clear and almost odorless.
 
It is not too much high priced and I got it for PKR 90/- from Saeed Ghani's shop in Super Market Islamabad.
 
Now lets come to the results ... honestly I didnt expect it to do wonders overnight and was just using the first bottle I purchased as a regular regime before my moisturizer. After using it only for about 5 days regularly, I started seeing visible difference in my skin, my pores were never open or big but I felt the difference in my skin and refined pores after using this serum. My skin was more supple, and felt more firm. The complexion was even toned to quite a good extent. I also felt the really fine lines disappearing thus making my skin more young and fresh.
 
Initially I didnt understand what made my skin so vibrant in just 5 days but then I realized that it was the only new thing in those days that I had started using. All the other stuff that I applied on my skin was the same and nothing had changed. I was really impressed by the product's results and I am surely recommending it to all of you girls out there.
 
For your reference, I am also writing down the way I used this serum as this might be of some help for you people:
 
  1. My first step in the night was to cleanse my skin using a cleanser and cotton. The cleanser I have been using for almost 2-3 years is Garnier Skin Naturals Essentials Grape Water Makeup Remover Milk. Read Review here.
  2. After cleansing my skin thoroughly with the cleanser, when the cotton ball stops to pick anymore dirt and dust from your face. I applied plain rose water on my face with a cotton ball. Rose water is a natural, less expensive and great toner and I refrain from using any other toners with harsh chemicals in them.
  3. Now here is where the serum from Saeed Ghani jumps in. I apply it before applying my moisturizer. Just a few sprays either directly on my face or on my hands and then applying on my face did the trick.
  4. After applying the serum, I waited for a while till it dried and then applied my usual moisturizer. I normally use Clean & Clear Oil free moisturizer but during the winters I use Ponds Moisturizing Cold Cream. I massage the moisturizer softly on my face.
In the morning, my routine was the following:
 
  1. I washed my face with the usual face wash and dried it.
  2. Applied the Saeed Ghani Aloe Vera Serum on face.
  3. Applied my usual moisturizer the same way I did during the night regime.
Have any of you girls used this serum? Please share your thoughts. I would love to hear from you.
Also, I would also tell you in a future post that how can you make aloe vera serum yourself at your home. Isn't that GREAT.
 
Have fun all you ladies !!!

Review–E.L.F. Tinted Moisturizer in Rosey Beige

Tinted moisturizers are something I always yearned for, but never got a chance to use one myself. Foundation & Moisturizer in one – its like a blessing for all those girls like me who are always running out of time when getting ready. Hehe! To My rescue, ELF cosmetics introduced their tinted moisturizers in Pakistan. Let me review one of them for you and tell you my comments about this wonderful product.

 

190120122842190120122843

The Packaging:

The packaging is quite nice. It’s a card backed transparent pack in which the tinted moisturizer is set up. The tube has a pointed nozzle which allows you to take out only as much of the tinted mo as required. The tube is transparent (I think – mine is quite new so not very sure though) to show you the color inside. it’s a small tube which is very easy to carry in ur bag and even your wallet.

The Pricing:

The pricing, yet again is very impressive, it costs 170 PKR only. I purchased it online from their website. I am not sure if these products are available in the market or not however, I just learnt that Just4girls.pk also sell their products now. I have ordered from the ELF Cosmetics Pakistan website two times and I am really happy with all the products I ordered. However, the shipping usually takes about 2 weeks which is something they need to improve. I am now planning to order ELF products from Just4girls.pk to see how their shipping service is, because Just4girls.pk usually deliver order on time as per my experience.

The Results:

The results are very good. It gives your face a smooth and even finish which lasts for the whole day (7-8 hours). Just set  it up with a good face powder and you are good to go. It is SPF 15 so you can even use it instead of sun block on “not too sunny” days. It does not require a lot of amount to be applied and contains both the goodness of a moisturizer and the radiance of foundation. I would definitely recommend this product to everyone out there especially because of its good results and wonderful cost benefit ratio. Your skin looks fresh and even toned after you apply it. Though you can apply face powder after this tinted moisturizer application but even if you don’t, the skin looks good enough. I will definitely buy this product again.
