Lush Mask of Magnaminty Review!!

Image
Ola Lovelies!! Think its very obvious that I'm hopelessly in love with Lush and their products are so unique and unmatched that I don't think I will ever grow out of them ♥♥ Today I'm going to review the ever famous Mask of Magnaminty and this is the very first mask that I tried from Lush! TBH I just picked this one up because it was talked about so much and in comparison to the fresh face masks this had a much longer shelf life! What does Lush say about this mask? " Easily smoothed over the skin, this mask is made with peppermint oil to stimulate, marigold oil and chlorophyllin to treat the skin; evening primrose seeds and aduki beans to gently exfoliate as you wash it away. There’s mineral rich kaolin to nourish, honey for its antibacterial properties, and we used just the right amount of peppermint oil to stimulate blood cells under the surface of your skin and leave your skin looking bright and refreshed." Ingredients List: ...

Now Smell This-- Jo Malone Peony and Blush Suede Perfume!!

Image
X: What's your favorite perfume?  Me: Ummmm... Guilty for now.  X- Not Bad. I like Guilty too.. but my fav one is Madmoiselle💕 Me- I don't think I love any perfume enough to call it my favorite. X- Just stares at me with a weird face. I have been in this place for the longest time until I stumbled upon Jo Malone Peony and Blush suede. It's a funny story though. I loved Loccitane's Cherry Blossom EDP and wanted something similar with better spillage and lasting power. I googled my way through so many scents and dupes for it and somewhere on a random website I found a comment left behind to check out Jo Malone's Cherry Blossom version. Cherry Blossom however is a limited edition version and the closest scent they have to cherry blossom is Peony and Blush Seude. I'm so glad I took some time off and popped into their store at Mall of the Emirates. A quick glance at the store and I knew this was going to be an expensive purchase. Funny how ...

Refectocil Brow and Lash Tint- Review!!

Image
Is there any girl in Dubai who is not crazy about those dense brows? Anyone? Does any girl step out of the house without doing her brows? Eyebrows must always be on fleek!! With this whole brow frenzy going on and the added chore of filling them in everyday, I had to look for an easy way out. There were many options but most of them expensive and not worth it. Heard of micro-blading? It's better than an eye brow tattoo but you shell out around AED 1200 for this. Tattoo looks too artificial IMO so its a NO NO for me. So what am I left with? Easiest available options were Henna and Color (dye). Temp solutions but worth a try. In comes "Refectocil Brow and Lash Tint". This product is cruelty free, not tested on animals and Vegan 😎💃 I got my kit on E bay for around AED 80 and the kit included the tint cream, the developer and a mixing container. Chose shade no.3 which is dark brown and after being equipped with a couple of YouTube videos I w...

DIY: Black Seed Hair Oil!!

Image
A lot has been said about Black Seed Oil also known as Kalonji /  Nigella Sativa. Black seeds have been used in Ayurveda in numerous ways and one of the ways is as a 'hair oil'. Why is this so powerful and raved about so much? Black seed oil assists in restoration of hair loss. It possesses anti-microbial and anti-oxidant properties. It strengthens hair follicles and hair roots. Makes your hair incredibly soft. Black seed oil also assists healing of the skin.  Besides having Hair and Skin Benefits, Black Seed Oil has multiple health benefits like aiding weight loss, treating fever, relief from gas, stomach cramps and pain. With all the benefits of this oil it was impossible to resist making a DIY 😎  I've made this hair oil at home and because the results are so fabulous I've taken it upon myself to spread the good news. You will need: 1/2 cup black seeds 1/2 cup fenugreek seeds / Methi seeds 500 ml Coconut oil Dry roast the seeds and...

Neal's Yard Remedies Rosemary and Cedarwood Hair Treatment- Review and DIY!!

Image
There are very few things that I've tried from NYR and one of them is this hair treatment. I accidentally tried it at a friend's place and within a couple of uses I could see results. NYR is known for their organic skin care and for using finest ingredients. Plus being certified Organic guarantees the quality of the ingredients used. Trying to launch my own skincare line I know how stringent the laws are for being certified organic and NYR certainly delivers. Living in Dubai the hard water certainly contributes to hair loss and balding. This hair treatment contains power packed ingredients known to improve your hair, adding shine, volume and reducing hair loss; let's have a closer look at what these ingredients do: Rosemary is a phenomenal oil to put on your hair and scalp. It effectively increases circulation, treats dandruff and gives life to all types of imbalanced and undernourished hair. It supports the scalp by reducing oily and congested skin a...

LUSH Veganese Hair Conditioner- Review!!

Image
This conditioner is the reason why I started using Lush's haircare products, let's just say until Veganese happened to me I had very little faith and knowledge about Lush Haircare. Let me start with describing my hair type. I have wavy, frizzy hair which needs keratin treatment every six months. Although I have frizzy hair and a lot of people would recommend a medium to heavy conditioner to tame the frizz, Veganese worked like a dream for me. I don't color my hair so it isn't dry and lifeless. I also don't need extra moisturizing like people with colored hair would! Veganese is a light conditioner with a lovely citrus scent and provides just enough conditioning for my hair. I let my hair air dry or cold dry if I need to rush out and in both cases my hair was bouncy wavy and shiny minus the frizz. It doesn't cause buildup, is weightless, conditioning, softening and soothing. Whenever I use this conditioner I be like: I love this conditioner but h...

LUSH- The Olive Branch Shower Gel Review!!

Image
If anyone knows how to perfume your body it has to be LUSH.... There is so much thought put behind every product they make. Olive branch is made with such lovely ingredients its worth every penny. Vine leaf infusion, Fair trade Olive oil, Orange flower absolute, fresh Mandarin Juice... and of course the sulfates. (why don't you stop using them LUSH?) The fragrance used in Olive Branch is one of their best and if it's your first time with Lush shower gels give this one a try. Like with most of their products the scent of Olive branch borders around woodsy and spicy base notes with floral and citrus top notes. If you're a sucker for masculine scents you will LOOOOVE this!! I say LUSH needs to build a range around Olive branch. Please throw in some body lotions, soaps, bath bombs, shampoo bars and conditioners with this scent.... It's that Awesome!! As much as I enjoy this shower gel I find it a bit drying and I decided to 'super fat' it.  If you enjoy...
