Hey India haul

" Be calm , you will have your turn "

Dear all

It has been so long since I made a post. I am sorry I have been so busy. My sweet little sister got married so I went to India spent over a month there came back to Australia and stuck with job. I have been traveling a lot with my hon to many places before winter hits. I have been thinking to sit and write but have been having lot of things going on my mind. You know what I am talking about there is a place in your life you feel nothing and is confused why am I doing this and worry about everything. So finally I sat to post my India haul. I have been doing a lot of shopping in India mostly cosmetics, skin care and jewels. Lets start with the haul.

1. Himalaya neem face wash

I have been wanting to try this for a long time. Its is a very mild face wash and is good for acne prone skin. I have been using it for 2 months now and it is very good. I used to get few pimple now and then but after using this I am preventing acne at the beginning. I love it. 

2. VLCC kajal or eyeliner

         

        

Its is so creamy and can be smudged easily. Its good for Smokey eyes. Its in a lipstick tube and glides smoothly.

3. Lotus lip balm

I am trying this for the first time. Its a bit greasy and makes my lips sticky. But other than that its good. 

          

4. Handmade necklaces

I bought this when I went on a day trip to tea estates. It is so gorgeous and colorful. Its like statement piece. 

               

             

              

Hope you liked my haul

Cheers

Review of Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume

" Life is not the way you excepted but has its own way "

Hello everyone

This post is going to be the mini review of Marc Jacobs daisy perfume. First of all , I have read awesome reviews about this perfume and thats the reason I bought it even though it was expensive. I bought it in Priceline for AUD89. It was a 125 ml bottle. The packaging was good. Its smells good like a floral scent. Its mild and very refreshing. But the staying power is not good. It did not even last for 5 hrs. Even the Charlie perfume which is cheap lasts whole day. I was excepting a bit more staying capacity. Other than its good. There is nothing uniques about it . There are many affordable perfume which have the same scent and lasts longer than Daisy. I don't know what the fuss is about the perfume.  Maybe the brand name can a reason. I am not a lover of branded products. Quality for the price you pay is my theory. This is my opinion.  

See you all in my next post

Cheers

Indian secret DIY series 3

                 "Great things comes in small packages"

Hello my lovlies hope you are all doing great. I have been stuck with work thats why delay in post. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Thats life. This post is another Indian secret series. This time I am going to share with you the problem which I am struggling to keep in control that is adult acne.

 For the past few months I have been having breakouts in my cheeks, chin and forehead. I ahve been trying and trying to keep it under control but no use. The wierd thing is I dont know the reason behind it. May be I am not looking after my health or some hormonal imbalance. The acne are leaving scars and I am working in sun my pigmentation is acting up and making it worse. So I asked my mom about it and she gave me some tips. I would love to share it wih you guys.

 DIY ACNE TREATMENTS:

 1) GARLIC

                           

 Ya I know who knew garlic was good for acne. Garlic has some amasing properties to cure acne problems. Here is what you have to do. Peel the garlic and crush them. Just apply the raw garlic juice on the acne. Rub it several times a day. This will help to treat acne. The pimple will reduce and the scars will not be that deep. You can do it when youi come home from work and apply several times and leave it while sleeping. If you are fine with the smell.

 2)FENUGREEK SEEDS

   Fenugreek leaves and seeds

 If you can get the fenugreek leaves then it is very effective. If you cannot get your hand on the leaves just use the fenugreek seeds. Make a paste of seeds with water. Grind it to make a paste. Apply the paste on the face leave it for 30 min or overnight for more effective results. Just wash with warm water. This is a preventive measure when you know you have spoiled your skin by eating loads of sugar, junki food or change in climate. This paste can also be used as antidranruff treatment for hair. Fenugreek has cooling effect and it helps to remove the heat form the body which can cause acne problems and hairfall.

So hope you try this and benefit from it. I will post my before and after pics in my next post.

Have a cool day

Cheers
