DIY Natural Hair Mask

Hello beauties, we all have tried various face masks but when it comes to hair mask, a lot of questions do arise in our minds. Which ingredients will be best for my hairs? My scalp is oily but my hair ends are dry, what to do? How to make a mask which has a multipurpose solution.

The simplest thing you can start with is henna (mehandi). It is easily available and most importantly you can add various things while making a henna hair mask.

I make my own hair mask which is suitable for all hair types, all age groups, both for men and women. So let's start to make the pack.

INGREDIENTS

1. Henna powder - 2 to 3 cups (according to your hair length.

2. Reetha Shikakai Powder - 4 tspn

3. Tata tea (or anyone you use) boiled in water - 1 tspn

4. Curd / Yogurt (dahi) - 2 tspn

STEPS :

1. Take Reetha Shikakai Powder in a bowl and add water to form a solution which should be neither thick nor runny.

2. Pour this to the mehandi using a sieve (chhani) or muslin cloth.

3. Boil the tea leaves in water. Cool it for 2 minutes and then add it to henna mixture again using a sieve and mix to form a paste.

4. Add curd to the henna paste and mix. Leave it overnight or for 5-6 hours.

5. Apply it all over your hairs from scalp to hair ends and let it sit for 3-4 hours. Wash it off without using shampoo.

BENEFITS OF THIS HAIR MASK

1. HENNA : It improves hair growth, controls hair fall, good hair conditioner, prevents dandruff, repairs split ends, makes hair shinny and soft and above all it is a natural dye.

2. Reetha Shikakai : It makes your hair shinny and thicker, fights dandruff, prevents dry scalp, delays grey hair.

3. CURD : It is a very good conditioner and prevents dandruff.

4. Addition of tea leaves solution (black tea) helps getting the beautiful red shine to your hairs.

I hope you found the natural hair mask very easy to prepare. Give it a try and see the difference in your hairs.

Food Items Prepared In Holi

Hello friends.... I hope u all had a colorful and safe holi. Holi in India is not only a festival of colors but also a festival of food. People prepare different food items at home to serve the guests who come to play holi. Holi becomes more fun with the home prepared food. So today, I am going to share some of the food items prepared in North India.

Fruit custard

It is one of the simplest dessert to prepare. Various flavored custard powder is available in market. Most loved is the vanilla flavored one. You need to mix the whole packet in approximately 2 kgs of milk and bring it to boil and add sugar. It starts to get thickened, then switch off the flame and cool it. Serve with the fruits like banana, pomegranate, papaya, grapes etc.

Gulab jamun

The gulab jamun mix is also available in market. The powder along with water/milk is used to prepare dough. Small round balls are prepared out of it. They are deep fried and then dipped into sugar syrup.

Samosa

This is one of the most loved snack all over India. Generally, mixture of mashed potatoes and spices is used in its stuffing but the stuffing may vary from place to place. After stuffing, it is deep fried.

Dahi Vada

The vada are more famous in South India. But now, it is loved and made in all parts of India. The vadas are made up of urad dal paste and then deep fried after which they are soaked in salt water. Then it is served with curd (dahi), imli chutney, black salt, cumin powder, chilli powder, and I tried some pomegranate also.

Gujhiya

The hand made design of gujiya are really unique and adorable. I guess, who discovered this? 😊 The stuffing also varies here, like khoya and dry fruits, badam paste, suji and a lot more.

Khurma / Shakkar pade

It is made up of maida and desi ghee. Cut into diagonal shape and deep fried. It is then soaked into sugar syrup and immediately taken out.

Mixed Namkeen

It is a light snack prepared easily by frying and mixing various ingredients like chura, dry fruits etc.

Namkeen

It is very similar in preparation to that of shakkar pade. The difference is that it is salty and the salt is added in the maida dough itself and then deep fried.

Green chana pakoras

It is a spicy snack prepared with green chanas, besan (chickpea powder), salt and spices. The batter is deep fried and it's ready.

There are many other items which are prepared in Holi but I got hands to these only. I would like to thank my friend "Richa" who prepared six food items of the above and was kind enough to serve me these. I hope you all like these and will try it.

I have been using it's kiwi fruit face wash since a fortnight and therefore thought why not review it for you all.. ☺

FRAGRANCE : It is very similar to the kiwi fruit.

SUITABLE FOR : Oily skin

100% soap free

COLOR : The face wash is gel based and light green in color with black seeds of kiwi in it.

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT :

It has kiwi extracts. Kiwi are full of nutrients like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin K. Further, they have lot of antioxidants. So, I feel this face wash is a boost for my skin.

It washes out the dirt, oil and pollutants gently without leaving your skin dry.

It is a 100% soap free base formulation which helps in deep cleaning of the skin .

It also contains apple, orange and almond extracts that helps to keep the skin refreshing soft and supple.

A very little quantity is required to wash your face. A pea size quantity is enough for one wash.

WHAT I DONT LIKE ABOUT IT :

Its availability. It is not available in any near by stores. But it is now available online so not a big issue.

It says specially for oily skin. Amway need to make some good products like this for normal and dry skin as well.

MY RATING : ⭐⭐⭐⭐🌠 (4.5/5)

OVERALL VERDICT : I liked the product because it really worked well on my skin (oily skin). Oily skin beauties definitely go for it. For coming summer, the fruit blast will refresh your skin making it healthy.

Since, it is soap free so I would like to recommend for normal skin beauties as well but sorry dry skin beauties, this one is not for you.

Maybelline Hyper Curl Volume Express Mascara | Waterproof | Review

Every girl likes the volume in their eyelashes like the dolls. But how can we get it instantly. No doubt, there are many natural ways to get long and thick eye lashes. But in order to highlight them, we definitely need a good mascara and what if it's super affordable.

I bring to you the Maybelline Hyper Curl Volume Express Mascara. Moving on to its review.

PRICE : ₹275 for 9.2ml

SHELF LIFE : 36 months

PACKAGING : It comes in a sleek tube with a black container and silver coated wand. You just need to roll that cap and your mascara wand comes along !

MY EXPERIENCE OF USING MAYBELLINE HYPER CURL VOLUME EXPRESS MASCARA

First of all, I would like to mention that it stands true to what it claims. Yes, it is waterproof. I applied it and after washing my face, my eye lashes were the same. It is lovely !

It adds volume to your eyelashes without much effort. The curl can be easily noticed by you and even the people around you.

Its not at all pricey. In this price it's difficult to get a good waterproof mascara.

You can definitely go for the other mascaras from Maybelline but this one is best for beginners and for daily wear.

Apart from giving volume, many mascaras do lengthens your eyelashes instantly so that it gets curled easily. This one takes time to do that. You need to apply two coats to do the same.

MY RATING : ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

You can see the difference in both the eyes. I have applied the mascara in my right eye only. The lashes are preety distinct, longer, darker with curl on the edges.

OVERALL VERDICT : I would highly recommend this mascara not only for beginners but for those who are searching for a waterproof mascara as well. You need to try it at least once and see the change in your lashes.

I hope you liked my post. Keep following my blog on all social networking sites. I will be back soon with another review/ tutorial.

5 ways to use White Kajal

Patanjali Aloe vera Shampoo | Review

Hello beauties, I am back with another product of Patanjali. This time it's an Aloe Vera shampoo. Aloe vera is a multipurpose natural product as you can use it in many ways may it be for your skin, hairs, body or health. There are a lot of aloe vera based beauty products in the market. Today, we will see what Patanjali has claimed for its shampoo is how far true.

PRICE : ₹75 for 200ml

SHELF LIFE : 24 months

PACKAGING : It comes in transparent plastic bottle having a flip-flop cap.

COLOR AND FRAGRANCE : The shampoo is grass green in color and the fragrance is very soothing.

WHAT THE PRODUCT CLAIMS : Removes hair fall, minimize split ends, removes dirt from hair and scalp.

COMPOSITION : Aloe vera (500mg / 10ml), Tulsi, Brahmi, Reetha, Amla, Bhringraj, Heena, Shikakai, Hibiscus.

MY EXPERIENCE OF USING PATANJALI ALOE VERA SHAMPOO

It removes dirt from hair and scalp effectively giving the hairs a bounce which you expect after washing.

It is a gel based shampoo which means it does not add extra smoothness which the cream based shampoo does. So it is very good for oily hairs and dandruff prone scalp.

It lathers very easily and you do not require extra quantity to get the "wash" feeling.

It does not dry your scalp.

I cannot say it completely removes hair fall, but it controls the hair fall. You can easily notice the difference in the hair fall after using it.

I do not have split ends, so I really don't know whether it works on minimizing split ends or not.

MY RATING : 4/5 , for its composition, fragrance, hair fall control, price and availability.

OVERALL VERDICT : I really liked the product from Patanjali as it stands true to what it claims (sorry 😢 don't know about split ends). I would highly recommend this one as its composition is too good and one should try such a good doze of natural products for their scalp.

Maybelline Color Show lipstick Violet Vibe

Maybelline Color Show Lipstick | 408 Violet Vibe | Review

Hello lovelies, wedding season is up again and things that comes in every girl's mind is what to wear, which lipstick to match up with...and so on. Lipstick is an integral part of your makeup and it's color selection according to your dress can enhance your look instantly or can ruin the whole stuff.

Today let's get bold and dark lips with Maybelline Color show lipstick in the shade Violet Vibe. Moving on to its review and swatches.

PRICE : ₹299 for 3.6 grams

SHELF LIFE : 3 years

PACKAGING : The lipstick comes in a black covering and the best part is the color of the glass which represents the color of the lipstick.
So it's very easy to detect in your makeup box if you have more than one shade in the same Maybelline range.

Every shade has its name and number and the stickers on which it is written also gives you the hint of the shade.

COLOR : It is a dark mauve shade with pink undertones and the reason it is best suited for wedding occasion is that it has glitters in it as well. The glitters are of purple color which complement the color of the lipstick.

WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT :

Firstly, it's color pay off. Generally, we like violet lip colors on screen but when it comes to purchasing the right shade , it becomes bit difficult. This is not exactly purple, not exactly pink, you can say a combination of both.

Nice packaging. The shade name and color of the glass helps you a lot in your selection.

When the lipstick disappears, the glitters are still there. It gives a sparkling glossy look if you apply lip balm after it.

Affordable price from Maybelline. Moreover, there is a variety of shades to choose from this range.

This shade can be used as a blush and eyeshadow as well. Just apply a little of the lipstick on your cheekbones and spread with a brush. You can see the change in your face.

On my lips in daylight

On my lips in room light

WHAT I DON'T LIKED :

It gets easily transferred ( a common problem I found in low price lipsticks).
The glitters can be felt on your lips.

MY RATING : 4/5 , for its package, price, color shade and it's purple glitters.

OVERALL VERDICT : This is the first shade I tried from this range and loved it. Apart from its longevity, I have no issues with it.

Those who are searching for a different shade apart from the reds, pinks and orange, definitely try this one.

You can match it with bright colors as well as sober color dresses to highlight your lips.
