MARCH FAVORITES💕




Hey Guys,
So I know I usually do my favorites at the end of the month, but because I was so busy I had to postpond it. And I know it's April right now, but atleast I'm putting it up. So unlike my previous favorites, there are not many items in this one because:
1. I was studying a lot so I couldn't try some new stuff
2. I got a lot of makeup but I couldn't try it cause exams. 

So sorry in advance if this favorites post is really small, but I assure you that the next one will have many more products. So now without any waiting, let's get into my March favorites. 




EYES:
1.Chambor Eyeshadow Tri Pallette in Soft Berry 49:
I just recently(and by recently I mean some months) found this pallette in my drawer while I was cleaning it out. And the reason why I love this pallette as it has the perfect shades for an everyday neutral eyeshadow look. And the 2 shimmer shades in the pallette can be used as inner corner highlight as well as an highlighter for the face in general which is amazing. 

2.Maybelline New York Colossal Kajal Superblack:
Now when this came out, I was really wanted to try it out. I did review this product and if you want to look at it just go here🔽

But I really do like this kajal/eyeliner as it has a pretty decent staying on power and is easy to smudge for smokey eyes. 

3.Hard Candy Stay In Line Eyeliner:
The reason why I love this eyeliner is because it has silver glitter in the eyeliner itself which a lot of brands don't have. Its really easy to smudge like the Colossal Superblack. None the less, it's a really good eyeliner. 

4.Chambor Dazzle transferproof smooth eye pencil in the shade 107 Blue Dazzle:
This is one blue eyeliner that you must have. It's the perfect blue that will look good on any skin tone. It does not smear off, stays on for really long. What else could you ask for?

5.Maybelline New York Lasting Drama Black Shock gel liner:
When I first saw this product, I was really confused on how this is a gel liner? Cause here in India you have no products like this. So after practicing for a while, I finally know how to use this product, and it is a must have. It applies really smoothly, doesn't come off at all. Can do both thin and thick strokes. Just pure amazing-ness. 

6.Chambor Eye Art Pencil:
Now I really like this eyeliner because it's good for finishing up and smokey eye for a slighter more black look. It doesn't have much pigment which helps to blend the product around. 



LIPS:
1.EOS Lipbalm in Honeysuckle Honeydew:
I don't think there is anyone out there who hates EOS. I've been using this one for quiet a while now and it still isn't over yet, which is great. I use this mostly after exfoliating my lips, it leaves the lips cool with a sweet taste. 

2.Chamor Extreme Wear Liquid Lipstick in 431:
When Chambor came out with these liquid lipsticks. I just had to buy them, they are just so pretty. This red is a perfect red with orange undertones which is good for all skin types. I wear this one quiet often. It smells amazing and stays one for a really long time. You can eat, drink, kiss, etc and it will not come off. 

3.Chamor Extreme Wear Liquid Lipstick in 483:
I LOVE THIS LIQUID LIPSTICK. As soon as I saw this shade, I feel in love with it. It's a brownish-pink liquid lipstick which is perfect for summer. It works also as an everyday lipstick shade. The features are same as the previous liquid lipstick. 

(REVIEW FOR BOTH THE CHAMBOR LIQUID LIPSTICKS WILL BE UP IN SOME WEEKS TIME)

4.Colorbar Kiss Proof lip stain in 005 Pam Beach:
When I got this lipstick, I had a feeling that it would not look good on me cause bright pinks do not suit my skin. But on applying this, I really liked it. This lipstick is perfect for fair to medium skin tones. It stays on for half of the day and has a really sweet smell to it. 



FACE:
Nivea Creme:
I just had only 1 product that I used for the face and that is this. It's perfect base for a primer as well. This will work more for dey skin, but oil will also work. And a little bit of this goes a really long way which is great. 

NAILS: 
Now I've been hooked on Maybelline's Color Show for a while and these 3 colors are the ones which I've been using all march. They do not chip off early. Very pigmented and dries up quickly. The shades that I've been using are:
1.Orange Shade: Orange Fix 214
2.Lavender Shade: Lavender Lied 217
3.Blue Shade: Blazing Blue 706




MUSIC:
Now I'm not gonna lie, I have been listenting to ZAYN's new album Mind Of Mine since it came out. It's just perfection. Like after so long he has finally given what type of music he always liked and wanted to do. I'm just so proud of him right now. Is voice, high notes, ranges and everything is just perfection. The track names are given above. I love all the tracks of the album, but my favorites are She, Drunk, Tio, Befour and Wrong. 


Well there we go, my March favorites. Hope ya'll enjoyed reading this post. Again I'm sorry that it was short. Do comment down below your opinions as I would love to read them. 

Until next time....😘

DIY Lip Scrub Tutorial💋



Hey guys, so yes it has been a really long time since I have updated this blog. I haven't ignored ya'll at all, it was just that I had my exams and stuff so it was really hectic. But now I'm free so I'm gonna try to update ya'll as much as possible. I do have a lot of ideas in my mind so stay tuned. 

So today I decided to update ya'll with a tutorial of a lip scrub. Now if u are like me whose lips get dry with change of  seasons, this tutorial is for you.  This is also really helpful for people with dry/chapped lips in general. This happens a lot with me. Recently in Mumbai the wheather  has changed from winter to summer and it's really irritating. So this is a full home-made recipe whose ingedients you already must me having at you're house already. 


The ingredients you will need are:
1.A container to put you're scrub in
2.Oil. And I feel coconut oil is the best to use but you can also you vegetable oil. 
3.Honey
4.Any type of flavour that you want but in a powder form. Here I have used chili powder. 
5.Sugar (any type of sugar will work, just not powdered sugar)

For Tools you will need;
1.A bowl to combine the ingredients
2.A grinder. I'm just using the one I have in the house. 
3.A spoon(Obviously)


First you take only one spoon of sugar and add it to a bowl. Sugar is very essential as it helps in removing the dead skin from the lips. Now you can use any type of sugar that you want but powdered sugar. You either do all normal sugar, or normal as well as grinded, or all grinded. Totally upto you. I wanted tp experiment with both grinded and normal   So yeah. 


Then take another spoonfull and add it to the grinder. 


Now it maybe tiring, but u need to grind the sugar until it turns into a powder-like consistency. 


Depending on how much scrub you need, add equal proportions of both normal and grinded sugar. 


Next you nees to take you're oil. And add half the amount of oil as the sugar. For example, if you have put 4 spoons of sugar, so add only 2 spoonfull of oil. Here I'm using Parachute hair oil which is a coconut oil. And yes you can use this in the mixture. You can use vegetable oil as well. The reason for adding the coconut oil is that it acts like a moisturiser for the lips. 


And just simply add it with the sugar in the bowl. 


Next take the honey. 


And again simply add it to the bowl. One spoonfull is enough. The reason for adding the honey is that honey acts like a natural moisturising agent which helps to remove darkness, as well as keeps the lips soft. 


By this time, the mixture should look like this. But it's missing some spice to go in with all that sweetness. 


Now as a spice I used chili powder. Now I know that ya'll reading this are probably like,"Chili on the lips? Is she mad" , "That stuff can ruin you're lips" and all of that. But wait, hold up. First of all, yes chili powder can cause damage to the lips, but only if you use excess amount. A little bit will not harm you at all. And if you we're present when the Kylie Jenner Lip challenge was going on, to acheive big/plum lips, other youtubers/beauty bloggers who we're not a part of that challenge did use spices. Kaymen Peper was one of them I think and Chili was also there. So just make sure to use very less amount of Chili powder if you are even using Chili powder. You can use Pumpkin Spice, Bubblegum, Cotton candy, etc. 


Now with all of the ingredients put together just mix all of them till they are properly combined. 


Now just scoop all of the scrub into you're container. 


Now by the time I made this scrub, I realised that it wasnt enough. So I just did all of the above steps again. And also while mixing if you feel that the scrub is too wet then add more sugar, and if the mixture looks a little dry then add more oil. 

So I did use this and the consistency was quiet thick, but to me it wasn't that big of a deal. It applied really nicely and the grinded sugar actually went in the cracks which is good. 


As ya'll can see, my lips do look more soft than they were before. The Chili did make them look bigger. As well as the honey with the sugar added a pink colour to my lips as well. Also, after removing the scrub, if you use chili powder, you're lips will burn for a minute which is completely normal. So do not worry. 

ALSO:
Just to let ya'll know. Now this is the kind of routine that you should do every alternate day or after 2-3 days. Upto you. The day when you do decide to exfoliate you're lips, do it twice a day. It's not necessary to do it everyday for 4-5 times. Over-exfoliation can result in bleeding of the lips so just be careful. 

So here you guys go, that was my DIY Lip Scrub tutorial. Please do comment down below if this tutorial was helpful for anyone. Do share this post if you think someone else will be benefitted by this. Thank ya'll so much for reading. 
Until next time...😘
