Hey!!!

I’m here again with another review; review of Kajal. Hey BTW have I told you, few my frnds call me Kajal Girl, because I just can’t stay away from kajal and it looks great on my eyes. I used to be an avon rep. so When a great offer on this kajal which I m going to review today came- I bought it without giving any second thoughts.

Avon Simply Pretty Kajal 

The Tips of Kajal

It is quite dark kajal, Nt wt is 2.6g. Bought for Rs 99 for 2 – with addtionanl 15% discount, being a rep.

Can’t say anything about its ingredients as its not mention anywhr on the packaging.

My View 

It is the old school kajal, remember 10 yrs ago this kind of kajal where available everywhr. The Fat Kajal as I call it. You can sharp it with the wide cosmetic sharpner.

Get a Disco Diva look this New Years- Shimmery Glittery Eyes!

Hey Divas !!!

New Year is around the corner. So all you pretty ladies must have decided your sexiest dress for the cheerful welcome of the most controversial year, 2012. Are you?? So get that Glam Chic look with those beautyful shimmery shiny eyes. 

Things you will need for this look 

 

• Eye glitter in Gold, blue, Silver or any other shade you like
• Brightly colored eye makeup – choose nude, brown, olive, blue purple or whatever you like that suits your complexion and compliments your dress.
• Mascara in any color you prefer. I stick to black only.
• Q-tip or glitter applicator
• Gel that is made to hold glitter on eyes or Vaseline works well too.

First of all Ok-Ok Tips for this Look.

·     

   -Apply foundation and eye makeup primer in that order before the rest of your makeup to ensure long-lasting wear.

·        - Glitter in itself gives you a gaudy look, you should have a mate base makeup.

·         -The make-up and the shimmer just need to be complementary.

·         -Sparkles are messy; they scatter everywhere—including on your dress for the event. Put on your make-up, then your clothes.

·        - Never use the chunky pieces of glitter from a craft store. These have sharp edges which can cut your eye or even other parts of your face. Beauty brands sell glitter specifically made for use on the face and eye area.

Now the Procedure to the most notable look 

 

• I’m coming straight to the point, assuming that you have done your base make-up i.e. concealer, foundation and compact. Even the eye Primer- it is very important for long stay make-up. Amd considering the New Year Party time, from 9 pm till 3 am in the morning all you wanna do is party hard, and get sloshed. ;)

• Get started with the cream shadow. Start from over your eye lid and spread it till your eye brow. It is advised to use a translucent creme eyeshadow. It helps in holding the glitters in place. You can even use Vaseline; it keeps the glitter in place. 

• Now, apply the coloured eye shadow on the eye lid. The colours could vary from pink, beige and peach. All these colours are near to the skin tone and thus, do not stand out. Gold particles look particularly pretty with warm, earthy colours like brown and olive; silver is flattering in cooler shades like blue and purple, so choose according to your glitter.  

• Allow the eye shadow to dry completely.

• After it has dried you can apply the glitter eye shadow with your finger or it is best to use Q-tip or glitter applicator.

• Spread it evenly above the eyes and make sure you enhance the eye corners.

• Apply a thin line of kajal on your lower eye lid and highlight the corners of the eyes.

• Apply black mascara to thicken the eye lids. After it has dried dip your mascara lid into liquid glitter mascara and brush your eye lids once. This will complete your glitter eye make-up for New Year.

• If you're really keen to make your eyes glitter, put small rhinestones on the outside of your eyes or along the lash line.

So my dear girls, do try this look and let me know how many compliments rushed towards you.

My View and Review:- Vedic Line Under Eye Gel

Hey Sweeties!!

Wassup! You know what this is my final Year going on in law and my final (and last) exams had started (so this was the reason of my being MIA for sometime probably). Exams remind of stress and staying awake all night long, which even hampers the skin and eyes. We happen to get wrinkles, fine lines and dark circles because of this stress- the Horror!!! L So to refrain myself from all such problems, I got my self Vedic line under eye gel, which bought from urbantouch.com

Earlier I’ve used garnier eye roll on, which was really nice but still wanted to have a change and wanted to try a new product.

About Vedic Line:- its is quite new in the world of skin care and cosmetics, most of their products are herbal based, and the use natural ingrediants only (good part). They claim to have optimum combination of Ayurvedic wisdom and modern scientific research & that one can enjoy visible healthier skin and hair initially & significant improvement overtime.

About their Under Eye Gel:- The product has a very light fragrance. It is a transparent gel and it comes in tub like container. Its quantity is quite good (65ml) and it can go for months. Its has a very soothing and revatializing effect and it can be used even during the day because it has sunscreen.

Ingredients:- Purified water, Aloe Vera gel, honey, carbomer and Almond oil (as labeled on the container)

Price:-  Rs 140 got it for Rs 126 (from urbantouch.com)

Pros:-

-        -  Value for money- good quantity.

-        -  Can be used in night as well as during the day as it has SPF.

-        -  All natural ingredients (non- chemical based)

-        -  Has therapeutic effect under the eyes.

-        -   ts in gel form so doesn’t feel oil (no chip- chip)

-        -  Even those little dark circles which I have are totally gone.

Cons:- 

-          -Its in a tub container, little inconvenient and unhygenic too

-          -it sometimes stings a bit, but that could actually mean that its working on the damaged area but I still cant take that into a pros

-         - It isnt such a recognized product, though I happened to love it.

My Recommendation:-  I might buy it again but I’m not sure, I still believe in natural care. 

Rating :-  4/5   :):):):)

Just for those beautiful eyes - Tips on Eyelashes

Most women try hard to get long, thick and full eyelashes. Taking care of eyelashes and maintaining them should be a routine. Long, thick and curling eyelashes beautifully enhance women's eyes and make their faces more striking. Some fortunate women have beautiful eyelashes and many of us crave for them. Which woman doesn’t want to flaunt fluttering eyelashes that make many men fall for it? Here are some tips for you to get gorgeous eyelashes naturally.

Eyelash Curler:- 

Some women have to admit that they cannot be without having to the hand a eyelash curler. This magic machine that allows our eyelashes not to appear as arrows, turning them in a few minutes very curl. The certain thing is that some women are born with straight, other with the eyelashes down, and others, with a few spectacular and curved eyelashes that are the envy of all.The eyelash curler uses very much, so much in the natural makeup as in by night. Among other things, there helps that our eyes look more opened.

The most common on the market are those who have pressure on all the eyelashes and are practical to use: The curler be placed near the roots of the top eyelashes; Assure that all the eyelashes, including those of the corners should be inside the curler.

Olive Oil/Castor Oil:-

You can apply castor oil or olive oil on your eyelashes to make it beautiful and long. Apply it with a clean mascara brush on your eyelashes. Make sure the oil doesn’t get inside your eyes. If the oil gets in your eyes, then rinse your eyes thoroughly with water. Keep the oil overnight and wash it off in the morning with an oily eye makeup remover. Removing it is very necessary as it may attract dirt and will spoil the effect. Applying castor oil or olive oil ensures beautiful thick lashes and it makes it black too.

Vaseline:-

Add a coat of vaseline to your eyelashes every night before bed. This will strengthen your lashes. If your eyelashes are naturally dark, you can also apply a very small amount of vaseline or clear lip gloss to your eyelashes in lieu of mascara, or as a base for your mascara. This makes them shiny and thick.

Make-up Remover:-

The long and thick eyelashes are attractive. To achieve this effect; an indispensable condition, remove the makeup carefully every night, because they have the risk that they break. And eliminated for your daily use any waterproof mascara. They`re too difficult to remove and not delicate with the eyelashes.

Trim Your Lashes:-

Although it is a lesser known method, many people vouch on it. Trim your eyelashes but make sure that you trim a very little part of the tip of eyelashes. Cutting it much can harm your eyes and even infect your eyes. Also let a specialist cut it as if you try it yourself the scissors may poke in your eyes and may even leave you blind in some cases.

Cure Dandruff

Dandruff has bad effect not only on hair but on the eyelashes too. Curing dandruff will help grow eyelashes beautiful. However never apply a dandruff shampoo on the eyelashes. Instead try to remove dandruff by keeping the hair clean and using remedial oil on them. Also sometimes stress too make the eyelashes weak. Taking stress not only makes the eyelashes weak but has bad effect on the whole well-being.

Green Tea:-

Natural Home Remedies recommends applying cool, unsweetened green tea to your lashes with a cotton ball to take advantage of green tea's beneficial properties. As with all home remedies for eyelash growth, take care not to get the liquid into your eye, and rinse well with cool water if you do.

Eyelid Massage

Massaging your eyelids gently can increase blood flow and may stimulate growth of lashes, according to Grow Eyelashes. After washing your hands well, use the pads of your fingers to massage along your lids and lash line.

Glycerin

Applying glycerin mixing it with castor oil will make the eyelashes strong, beautiful and long. Apply it at night, leave it overnight and wash off in the morning. Soon you will find yourself with beautiful eyelashes. You can even use egg-whites for making it blacker and beautiful. Beat the egg white and apply it on the lashes in very little amount with the help of a clean mascara brush and wash off in the morning.

Eat Proper Meal

Nothing can beat a balanced diet. Eat a proper meal with vitamins, proteins and carbohydrates. Take fruit juices, dairy and dairy products. Incorporate green leafy vegetables and fruits in your diet and see the magic in few days. Drink plenty of water to flush the toxins out. Sleep for at least eight hours and include some exercise in your daily life. It not only will make your eyelashes gorgeous, it will have an effect on your total well-being.

My View and Review :- Chambor Khol loose powder Blue

I bought this khol because one day I saw my friend using it and frankly for the very first time I saw powder khol, it somehow amused me. So I went straight to the Shoppers’ Stop the very next day and bought it. I bought in blue shade because I wanted this special powder khol of mine to stay with me for a longer period (LOL. Well I’m a black kajal/khol person) as I don’t use different colours on eyes much.

Texture of khol-  It is finely powdered smooth khol.

What it says :- 

Loose Kohl Powder is Chambor's Innovation. It is a loose, ultra fine powder which helps create a mysterious look for eyes.

Ingredients:-  I hope u are able to read the ingredients.

Price :-  Rs 350 for 1.9g comes in a vial type bottle.
              (available in 3 colours black, brown and blue)

My Review:- easy to carry and comes in  an attractive package and bottle.

Pros:-

1)      Not too dramatic

2)      It can be used as a eye-liner as well as eye shadow.

3)      Its enrich in Vitamins like A and E and it doesn’t have any animal ingrediants.

4)      Very smooth and can be used on the water line of the eye.

5)      Doesn’t smudges

6)      Even if it goes inside the eye, it doesn’t hurts (Plus 1 for this one)

7)      Long staying and is water resistant.

8)      Removes easily by cleansing milk or make up remover

Cons :-

1)      Its not that easy to apply (one needs to practice)

2)      It’s quite light. You need to apply 2-3 coats to get actual colour.

3)      Though it stays for long but gets really light in just 2 hours.

Buy it or leave it -  I won’t buy it again … there are lots many to try ;)

Verdict:-  try it, if only you are also amused by loose khol powder.
