Glossy Hair in just One Minute(Must Try)

Heyy Beauty Lovers, how ya'll doin? Time passes by so fast before we could even know..
But I'm back and back with exciting new updates for you all..

So today I'm going to be talking about HAIR.. Oh my goodness, I have always had issues with my hair, they've always been dry/dull, no fast hair growth, frizzy, hair fall, split ends and the list goes on and on..

Recently I have been travelling a lot between Dubai and Mumbai, India. And trust me the hair story gets worse as the pollution here in India is worse than most countries i believe.

So 3 months ago, our friend here in mumbai recommended us to Dessange Hair Lounge, Bandra with the Hair Expert named Afreen.. As she knows her job really well and she diagnosed by hair condition like some kinda hair doctor, lol and first thing she said was "Neha, your hair is in ICU - we need to treat and repair them before we think of coloring or styling your hair" LMAO, I honestly wasn't surprised but i was really hoping for some permanent solution to my hair..
With her recommendation, I've been using KERASTASE Reflection K - Bain Chroma Riche Shampoo and KERASTASE Refelection K - Chroma Riche Mask which has definitely made a huge difference to way my hair feels, looks before/after styling. Oh My God! I kid you not! They aren't frizzy as before and the dryness is getting better slowly... as my hair are still in repairing state so they still does look a little dull at times..

And recently while i was in Dubai, i discovered this product on the counter shelf of Carrefour sitting quietly.. I packaging looked cute to me, so i grabbed it..

So this product is; 

Schwarzkopf Gliss Hair Repair with Liquid Keratin. Repairs hair-damages precisely and refills hair cracks.
Gliss Million Gloss
This formula contains Concentrated Gloss-Elixir with innovative Lamination-Technology - for long-lasting Gloss
Shine lasts up to 10 Days *with regular use, in combination with Million Gloss Shampoo
Directions: Massage gently into wet hair after washing an leave in for ONE Minute. Rinse thoroughly!  Use regularly.
Retail price: Less than Dhs 10/-

After reading all that; i thought to give it a try..

After a week, got the chance to give this product a go; 
Wash my hair with my above mentioned shampoo and mask for 2 minutes, rinsed the mask thoroughly and then applied a little of the Gliss Million Gloss and even if it said to keep it for one minute, I deliberately left it for 1 and half minute, rinsed it and towel dried my hair and then Magic happened, i couldn't believe it for a second - My Hair were Glossy and Shiny! I checked in different lighting conditions, they were still glossy.. Loving it so far..

Now that's what I call is a discovery; why is this product even hiding! 

Please Share this blog ahead, so that every girl can have glossy hair whenever she wants!

Hope you all find this discovery helpful; if you have any questions; please don't hesitate to ask me..

Sharing is Caring!!

Hugs and kisses,

5 Best Concealers Ever!!

Hi Girlies!! 

Eid Al-Fitr Mubarak! Hope you all had an amazing time with your family and friends...

Ramadan and Eid kept me busy, but without any delay - Here are the best products to hide those tired eyes!!


Best Under Eye Concealers!!


Bobbi Brown Corrector and Concealer

This peach tinted concealer is perfect for dark circles under the eyes as it counteracts the blueness (orange/peach is the opposite of blue on the color  wheel, therefore the colors balance each other out). Correctors work differently than traditional concealers in that they are colored- specifically for correcting a specific issue (ie blueness under the eyes looking like dark shadows or circles). The gel like consistency is perfect for under the eyes. It won’t cake up or look too dry. It glides easily, isn’t too thick, and covers extremely well.

To apply I simply take my ring finger and swipe the smallest amount under my eyes before I apply my foundation. If you don’t wear foundation, then you will simply need a color close to your skin which is not peach, As the Bobbi Brown Concealer Kit, you will love every bit of using this product.

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat

Even though this is actually claimed to be a “skin brightener”, but it works well as just a plain ole’ concealer. ;) I use this under the eyes, BUT I apply after my foundation. You do not need this in addition to correctors, as you don’t want to apply too much product, especially under the delicate eye area.

The consistency of this is a bit creamy versus a gel, but it isn’t so thick to where it emphasizes any wrinkles or crevices. If you don’t have bad dark circles, then this should be plenty coverage for you.  I suggest getting a shade lighter than your skin to help brighten up the area.

To apply, gently sweep this under the eyes after applying foundation. Or you can apply straight to bare skin if you wish to skip foundation, just be sure to blend really well.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

This is without doubt the best drugstore concealer ever! This comes in a tube and has a wand much like a lipgloss would. It’s easy to apply and blends into the skin smoothly and evenly. It’s a thin, liquid formula that covers and hides imperfections incredibly well. It also hides dark under eye circles, no problem. This concealer is available in 6 different shades catering for either pink or yellow undertones. The best way to apply this is to sweep it under the eyes or around the nose where you need it and blend it with either your ring finger or concealer brush.

This has a smooth formula and doesn't get at all cakey. It does have a slight smell but is nothing offensive or too harsh. I find this is a great dupe for the YSL Touche Éclat. This is ideal for those days when you don’t want to wear a full face of foundation but still want to cover any darkness or imperfections you may have.

Best Concealers for Blemishes!!

MAC Studio Finish Concealer

The difference between undereye concealers and blemish concealers is simply the texture: concealers that work best on blemishes have a thicker, creamier texture. I love this MAC one as it covers incredibly well and doesn’t look cakey like some cream concealers can. It comes in a convenient little pot which is great for travel, and it is available in a variety of different shades.

Makeup For Ever Camouflage Cream

This palette was my first love for concealers! I love how well it covers the blemishes and how it doesn’t get cakey. The texture is almost exactly like MAC’s Studio Finish, but it includes 5 shades in one sleek palette, perfect for custom blending. 

To apply, I dab my finger (clean finger *cough cough*) into the concealer and dab over the blemish. Do NOT swipe as it will streak instead of covering the blemish, especially if it is raised.

If you need just a little coverage under the eyes, this could work, but be sure to apply with a concealer brush so you get a super thin layer.

Let me what you think about these products in the comments section below!

AMAZON KERATIN TREATMENT REVIEW!

My dear friends, here I bring you my Amazon Keratin Review!! A Product from USA..
I met these beautiful ladies at the BeautyWorld Middle East 2014

Benefits of the Treatment

* It can be done for all types of hair

* Infuses keratin protein deeply into hair

* Eliminates frizz and repairs hair

* Leaves them Smooth, Silky and Healthy

Application Process:

Step 1: Clarifying

The Clarifying shampoo removes residue from scalps and opens hair's cuticles for better absorption of the keratin treatment.

Step 2: Application and Drying

Separate hair in 8 sections and tie each section.. Took about 1 ounce of it in a bowl then applied the keratin treatment from roots to tips and they made sure every strand receives the treatment. Left it for about 15-20 mins then Blow dried the hair until they were 100% dry.

Step 3: Ironing

At about 230C /450F they Flat ironed all the hair, section by section from root to ends.

And Viola! they were Silky, Shiny and Straight

It took about 3 1/2 hours to complete the entire process

Then there were some instructions given to me to wash my hair with only water the following day and the next day I can use shampoo and conditioner... Following day on I can style as required :D Isn't that kool ;)

I am so happy with the results and till now, I haven't had any issues - they are all good..

Incase you would want to know this Keratin treatment is worth Dhs 1500..

And will shortly let you know where you can get this Amazon treatment done.

Let me know if you are interested!!!

Love,

Neha <3

LOTD: Sweet Touch

This week I tried some new products, a brand called Sweet Touch...
You will be able to see their stall at the Beauty World Middle East 2014...

I created this look using these products as follows:

Mineralized Foundation

Review: The consistency is too thick and okay to blend, but it stayed on all day.. Stayed perfectly in the current humidity in Dubai..

Eyeshadows

Review: Lovely choice of colors, not very easy to blend but great colors pay off..

Blush

Review: Good colors but too shiny.. Might work well with Asian Bridals I guess, and to use way tiny amount and works well..

Lip Liner

Review: Good colors but a tiny bit dry..

Lipstick

Review: The pink color I tried felt like Satin Matte and they have a lot of Nude and Dark colors too, like a Vampire Red and Dark Plum. So if u are into dark shades of colors then u should check them out at the Beautyworld.

Lipgloss

Review: Sorry to the product but it was not even glossy, I had to keeping applying the product again n again but wasn't satisfactory..

Pressed Powder

Review: That did set the foundation good and helped me tone down that shiny blush..

Ladies! Whoever is planning to visit the Beautyworld Middle East 2014; visit these new brands too, u might actually find a good product of ur choice.

It's time you tried the world, try to come to out of ur comfort zone and you will find a lot more new and fascinating things which aren't regular but at least 'New'..

I'm definitely goin to be there and If u see me, do come and say Hi! I would love to meet you ❤️

Stay Beautiful lovelies,

Neha ❤️

'SO ECO' MakeUp Brushes Review

"This Face Brush Kit by 'So Eco' contains four different brushes used for the perfect application of instant make-up."

  

I know what you're all thinking, "So Eco, I've never heard of that brand before" well here's why...

The 'So Eco' range of make up brushes and tools is brand new! They're fresh from the factory and until now I have only seen them in Spinneys(Dubai) or at  www.amazon.co.uk at the moment. 

I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am to be one of the first in Dubai to review and share this brand with you all! 

The biggest selling points of the So Eco brushes will definitely be the fact that they are made from sustainable materials, they're recyclable (literally everything, from the products packaging to the bristles on the brushes). They are cruelty free and the brushes are cut and trimmed by hand to give them that extra special finish. 

I chose the Face Brush Kit to try out, mainly because of the fact that it contained a makeup brush for each area of the Face ;-) but also down to the fact that the set comes in a beautiful natural cotton wrap which is an ideal way to store your brushes! The brushes may be Eco-friendly but they are also practical and usable for every day make-up application.

The brushes themselves have handles made entirely of bamboo, and have super soft, fine bristles which make them really comfortable and easy to use. There are four brushes in the set, which includes an Eyeshading Brush, Foundation Brush, Blush Brush and a Finishing Brush. They are all going to become part of my daily make up routine. 

Overall I think these brushes are good quality, works well with products and super soft, have a nice appearance/packaging, and are very competitively priced with other brush brands. There are a range of other types of brushes which you can check out on the Amazon Website for Online shopping or also check out in Spinneys Dubai!!

 The world is a beautiful place, so let's keep it that way.

Love the Quote written on the 'So Eco' packaging ;-) and found it amazing the way they have explained how everything is so Eco-friendly :)

What do you think of this set? Will you be trying some of the brushes?

Stay Beautiful..

Love Neha xoxo
