DIY Hair Oil Recipe | For Hair Growth & Hair Shine

This no expert recipe yet this is the hair oil recipe that I have been following myself for a long time now to keep my hair healthy. I personally hate any kind of oil but we all know oil is the most effective element when it comes to hydrate, penetrate, restore moisture in your hair. So I need to feed my hair with oil 🙂

[wp_ad_camp_4][/wp_ad_camp_4]

Ingredients you need:

*Coconut oil 100ml
*Almond oil 50ml
*castor oil 50ml
*Olive oil 25ml
*Black cumin seed oil 25ml
*Fenugreek seed 100g
*Green amla 15-20pc

Process:

Crush amla and half of fenugreek seed in a blender then take them in a pan. Add all oils in it. Boil the mixture for 5 minutes. After boiling filter and dispose of the remaining of amla and fenugreek. Store the filtered oil in a jar and add rest half fenugreek in it. Let it rest overnight, after that the oil is ready to use.

You can also store the oil for a long time. A full jar of mine last around 4/5 months. To keep the oil fresh, put the jar in the sun at least once in a month.


Benefit of this Hair Oil:

I do oil therapy for my hair three times a week. Before applying I put the oil in the oven for 30sec to warm up  a bit. Then massage scalp as well as hair root to tip with this oil, keep it for 2/3 hours and then wash off normally with shampoo.
This oil effectively helps to restore moisture and shine in hair; as well as over the time it will accelerate hair growth. If you ask me about hair fall issue then I won’t be able to assure you much because I have been using it for long and my hair fall ratio always been the same.


Try the oil recipe, you might find it useful and don’t forget to let me know how it goes 🙂

My picks on Lip Color | Summer 2014

Lip color for summerLip color for summer 
Summer is here. Flame of sun literally burning my eyes, cant tolerate any bright popping color this days where current trend is bright and vibrant colors. My eyes may be its my mind continuously seeking for twilight! Color picking definitely depends on ones mental situation(lol, I was a student of color psychology, now I’m judging me!).

[wp_ad_camp_5][/wp_ad_camp_5]

Today I was sorting my lip colors for this summer and came up with eight dusky lipstick some are warm some are cool in hue. Most of base colors are pink and coral, there is also a orange brown and dark plum. Obviously I picked mostly matte shade for this summer thus I’m always a matte lover.

MAC Kinda Sexy:
A matte coral nude. Last 4/5 hour if you don’t drink or eat.

Stila Patina:

LAsplash Chubby Twist Rosy:
Its a deep rosy shade just as the way it named. Applies creamy, matte in texture., pigmentation is fantastic. Last 4/5 hour easily. Cost BDT200/-, available in any good cosmetics shop in BD.

MAC Crosswires:

I cant really describe this color, it is mainly dusty coral but sometimes i feel its pinky coral, sometimes it feel the perfect nude in my lip. Love this color like nothing else.

Pohela Boishakh 2014 (Bangla NewYear 1421)

boishakh
14th April, 2014 was Pohela Boishakh, Bangla NewYear, 1421. A heart warming day for every Bangali around the world and I believe here in Bangladesh we celebrate the day in its fullest. It would be always less no matter how I try to describe the event. Main event and ‘Mongol Shova Jatra’ brought out from the Dhaka university area yet the whole country farewell to all previous woes and welcome the brand new year regardless of race and religion carrying the one identity that we are ‘Bangali’ with full of color. Red is our staple color for the day. Another amazing thing I must mention, we do the worlds largest street Alpona(motif) art(aprox 350,00sft) overnight on both side of Manik Mia Avenue, Dhaka on the new year eve which represents the folk culture of Bangladesh. I wish I could take a picture by myself to show you guys but bad luck, haven’t been there this time.

However, how I celebrated the day? Obviously it started with deshi food. I cooked shorisha Iish(Hilsha fish) curry, shutki(dry fish), pat shak(jute leaf) and there was also fried red chili and rice!

And then, roaming around in the street! I wore the saree husband gift me for the day. Saree has always been a scary thing for me but the day wouldn’t be perfect without saree and of-course Mr. Husband wanted me to wear saree..lol ! I kept my base makeup as light as possible and tied hair up to fight the hot climate. A big red tip(bindi) was there as a center of attraction which specially carried the traditional touch of my look.

ELF Eyelid Primer

ELF Eyelid Primer

ELF Eyelid Primer

ELF Eyelid Primer, it’s from ELF Cosmetics’s $1 range. An ultimate drugstore eye primer to have as well as a great dupe of UD primer potion. Yes, I have used both and couldn’t find much difference without the price tag.

It comes in a basic plastic packaging with sponge tip applicator. Consistency is creamy yet sets dry on lid. Has a bit of tint in it which helps to even out the color of eyelid. Sets pretty quickly so you have to work fast while blending. Create wonderful base for eye shadow, does helps to prevent shadows from creasing for long time. Only down side of this primer is it doesn’t help  to intensify light matte shadows.

ELF Eyelid Primer

I may be the last one who is reviewing this fantastic budget product but it has been love for last couple of years by my self. This tube doesn’t have much product in it, wont last long if you use regularly but for the price you cant really complain.  It is the best option if you want a substitute of your pricey UD primer.


Have you tried ELF Eyelid Primer?? How was your experience??

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

rt Miracle Spongert Miracle Sponge1


Today I’m here to blabbering about Real Techniques Miracle complexion sponge. Except the name ‘miracle’ its just a makeup blending sponge or a tool for your makeup application.

I have used and tried quite a lot of non brand,drugstore or cheap blending sponges which were mainly the dupe of original beauty blender but I was satisfied with none. Main problem with those were their stiffness. They were too stiff and hard to work with, also because of the stiffness they were hard to clean properly no matter what I use. I have been always in the search of a good and reasonably priced blending sponge.

[wp_ad_camp_3][/wp_ad_camp_3]

I was confused before buying Real Techniques Miracle Sponge, didn’t wanted to waste money anymore but badly needed a sponge. I prefer to use sponge or wadges in my under eye area to set concealer. Miracle sponge is already a raved product in market though i was hesitating to buy one. However, couple of weeks ago finally got my hand into this product.

The product costs $5-$6. Packaging is quite simple, I believe somehow there is a difference in printing in area based launch. My first impression was ok, the sponge looks cute in orange color, has a flat side unlike the other sponge. I was dyeing to use it to see the performance in work.

I dampen the sponge with water and it turned twice bigger in size like all other sponge but the different thing happened is it became so soft and smooth after soaking with water. This is the thing I was looking for in all other sponge. If you sponge is not soft enough then it doesn’t really help even application of foundation or to set it perfectly. I applied my foundation with the flat edge and it worked amazingly. With this sponge and its unique shape it is so easy to get into those narrow corners of face. I got totally impressed from the first use. Also works great as a powder application tool to set foundation.

[wp_ad_camp_4][/wp_ad_camp_4]

About cleaning the sponge, trust me it was way easy to clean this one because of its softness. I’m able to squeeze out and clean every bit of makeup residue from this sponge.

Overall, very happy with the outcome of Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge. A big thumbs up to Real Technique for such quality product in budget price. I’ll be stock up more soon.
I’ll say to everyone who is looking for a budget sponge, do not waste your money on other cheap blending sponge but get Real Techniques one.
