At Home Skin Care routine
Now Eid is gone… surely, we all went through lot of makeup during these whole holiday period. But wait, I hope after all these you haven’t forgot to take care of your skin.. 
have you?
I mean, yes, we did clean our face end of the day but you know what your skin was being pressurized and exhausted because of everyday makeup. So now when the holiday is over you should give your skin a good treat.

How…??? Lets discuss it in my ‘at home’ way..
Cleansing
Cleansing is arguably the most important part of your basic skincare routine. Proper cleansing helps you to get rid of old skin cells, dirt and dust, grime, make-up and bacteria, and keeps skin pores free of clogs and able to breathe freely. Cleansing also aids circulation and prepares the skin to receive topically applied nutrients and lipids.
Take few drops of oil such as baby oil or olive oil in a cotton pad or cleansing strips and wipe off your makeup. You can use cleansing milk if you want. Choose a cleanser that is appropriate for your skin type. Do not use soap on facial skin, it can be too harsh and drying and damage skin over time.
If you like herbal thing then go for milk, cream yogurt/ sour curd or honey. They are great as a cleanser.
Gently rub that to skin for a minute and Wash off with water. Always cleanse with warm water because cold water doesn’t dissolve and take away embedded dirt and grime as well as lukewarm water.
Exfoliate
Take your preferred facial scrub with your fingertips or a soft sponge or a facial brush if you have. Apply it using gentle circular massaging strokes and moving upward on the face and neck. Do not scrub too much, too much scrubbing will stretch skin and irritate it, especially the delicate skin around the eyes.
Ground almond, lentil, oats and potato paste works great as an herbal scrub.
Rinse with lots of water. Don’t forget to rinse off from the neck and hairline otherwise residue can clog pores. Use a mild exfoliating scrub with finger tips for daily use. If you using facial brush then use that once a week only.
Taking care of pores n texture
Take ice cube and rub through the face for a minute or two. This will help to minimize pores, redness and any inflammation happened during exfoliation.
Now take your face pace or mask and apply that, wait 15-20min then wash off. 
You can always go for herbal product such as Sandal wood, fuller’s earth, turmeric paste etc or any home made pack you prefer.
Do clean your face with a cleanser again after applying face pack otherwise residue can clog pores and cause breakout.
Toning and Moisturizing
Follow immediately with a water-based toner and a moisturizer appropriate for your skin type to seal in surface moisture.
An alcohol-based toner strips off natural oils; Gentle toners calm the skin and balance pH levels. Choose gentle, alcohol-free versions. Use astringent if you have oily skin.


*Usually i do this process at night before going bed. I believe, this way my skin gets proper time to rest and rejuvenate. I use my night cream instead of moisturizer. 
So, guys…. a clan and healthy face is the most beautiful face. Don’t be lazy to treat your skin well.
Hope this post will help you…. take care till the next post 🙂

How to do Blue Glam Eye Look for Eid-ul -FITR

How to do Blue Glam Eye Look for Eid-ul -FITR
Hey there…
Eid-ul-Fitr 2013 is here..
what color you wearing this Eid ???
My saree is a combination of blue and orange 🙂
So thought to do a tutorial featuring blue..
If i wear my saree at Eid night then I’ll surely do this look.
Its with gorgeous glitter and so glam, isnt it ??
If you wearing white or any blue this eye look will definitely go with your wardrobe.

Lets start the tutorial…
yes yes,, make a nice base for your eye first. I used Nyx Jumbo pencil in Milk here on the upper part because some light color will go there.. Other half i just left with foundation.
Apply a cream color in your brow bone and an orange color in upper crease as the picture shown.
Apply a bright blue in rest of the eye lid but leaving the crease a bit.
Apply violet in the crease….
Now, blend everything nicely.
Tight line your lower lash line with kajal and blend that with violet shadow you used previously in crease.
Yeh, its time for glitter… Apply your glitter base on the blue part only (i used LaSplash eye shadow base here) and then pat your blue glitter over that. Give it a minute to dry. Then dust any fall out..
Now, line your eyes with a liquid eye liner and put on generous amount of mascara… you are done 🙂
Here’s my finished look….
Product I’ve used here:
*Nyx Jumbo Pencil in Milk
*BH cool matte palate for cream orange n violate shade
*10tk pan eyeshadow for blue
*LA Splash eye shadow base/sealer
*Non brand glitter(10/15tk)
*Ioni liquid liner in black
*Loreal feather lash mascara in black
*Ioni matte lipstick in shade Natural
Note:
*You can use clear lip gloss, eye-lash adhesive as a glitter base or you can certainly use if you have the original glitter base thing.
*Apply powder underneath your eye before applying glitter. This will help you to remove glitter fall out later on.
*If you wondering about the base, I did heavy base makeup with pancake here. I also posted a tutorial earlier on How To Do Makeup With Pancake. Do give that a check if you’re just thinking to start with pancake, panstick and all those stuff.
So, did you liked the look??
Are you gonna try it??

Do not forget to show me if you gonna wear it in this Eid, ok ???

Warm wishes for you all… Have a happy Eid

Eid Mubarak

…Take Care…

How to do Everyday Makeup | Base makeup

How to do Everyday Makeup | Base makeup

Apology for my delay in posting the ‘Stage 3: Light’ base makeup tutorial. Previously I’ve posted other two techniques of base makeup Makeup With Foundation and Heavy Base Makeup | Makeup With Pancake. Have you checked those? If you haven’t yet then don’t forget to read them out. Today’s post is about light base makeup or actually, I should say Everyday makeup. It’s a pretty simple and fast process to do which is suitable for your go-to makeup routine. If you are going out for college, office or maybe grocery shopping this process is great to make you look polished without wearing and doing so much.

Products for Everyday Makeup:

  • A light coverage foundation/tinted moisturizer or BB cream
  • Concealer (this is a must in my opinion).
  • Setting powder/ pressed powder

Process:

First, apply your foundation/tinted moisturizer/BB cream. BB cream or tinted moisturizer is best for this purpose because it will give you a light and no makeup feeling. You definitely don’t wanna feel so much when you go out for a regular task. If you are choosing foundation (read my review on Nars Skin Tint is my recent favorite), make sure you choose a light/sheer coverage one, which will be comfortable throughout the time and you will able to feel your skin.

How to do Everyday Makeup

After the BB cream/foundation, it’s time for concealer. Take your concealer and cover up those imperfections you want to hide. Blend your concealer as nicely as you can. Under eye area might need a tad more of concealer to make you look awake.

How to do Everyday Makeup

Then take your setting/pressed powder and lightly swipe all over the face. The powder will soak off all excess oil from your face and mattify your skin. Give a few minutes to set the powder and you are ready to move on to the next step like doing your eyes or else. If you have dry skin, you will be good to go after applying concealer but if your skin is on the oily side like mine you’ll notice a huge shine and you’ll need to powder that off.

How to do Everyday Makeup

And that’s it. Wasn’t it an easy process? Additionally, If you have a setting spray (read my review on ELF Makeup Setting Spray) you can use that now but that’s totally optional. If you going out for long then you might need to blot and touch up in 2/3 hour. For that keep your blotting tissue or powder with you and whenever you feel oily just touch up your powder or blot excess oil.

PS: Choose your concealer as close as possible to your skin tone. If you’re prone to oxidizing, choose a shade lighter pressed powder than your skin tone.

Hope this helps you. Do let me know your opinion or question in the comment box below.

Ioni Matte Lipstick in shade Sexy Fuchsia | Review & swatch
Hello there Beautiful,
TodayI’mm reviewing another lipstick by Ioni cosmetic. It’s from their matte range, called ‘sexy fuchsia’. Worth: BDT 150/-

Ioni Lipstick swatch | Sexy Fuchsia


About the color

Sexy Fuchsia is a muted true fuchsia which is pretty close to Cabernet(review here) but a bit intensified. The color shows up more bright in the light. If you are a fuchsia lover then you gonna love to wear Sexy fuchsia by Ioni every day.
Ioni Lipstick swatch | Sexy Fuchsia


My Experience with Ioni Sexy Fuchsia

Packaging is simple, smart looking but not durable enough. You might get crack on lid and lipstick might come off from the tube during rough use. Smells somewhat sweet but last for few minute after applying and won’t smell anything after a while. Finish is creamy but turned out nice matte after applying yet not drying at all. Last so long even if you eat or drink. Will leave strong stain throughout the day unless you remove it with your makeup remover.
Overall, I don’t hate anything about this lipstick. In fact, I love the shade. After all, what else you can expect with this budget price! Strongly recommend this product if you looking for a budget friendly but a quality product.

Review & Swatch: Ioni Lipstick Cabernet
Hello there,
First review from a beauty brand discovery, Ioni Cosmetics.
This is the first time I’m going to review a product by Ioni Makup.
Let me tell you something about the brand,
Ioni makeup is a concern of Jhon Davler, Inc ; La, USA.
Its been almost a year they are available in Bangladesh.
I remember, its been around 8/9 months first time i bought Ioni product without any clue about the product or quality…. !!
But now I can say, Im a fan of them since my first use. 
Their product range is supper affordable yet good in quality.
However, Lets come to the topic… 
Ioni lipstick in shade Cabernet from matte range.
Worth: BDT 150/-
You’ll find it in any cosmetic store who is having Ioni cosmetics.

About the color:
Cabernet is a muted blue toned dark fuchsia. The color looks more deep in tube but shows up lighter in lip. Color shows up even more lighter fuchsia depending on light.
This is such an unique color to have in your collection.
I must say, Cabernet is my favorite color from whole Ioni Lipstick range.
About the product:
Firstly, i found the packaging is simple yet quite cheeky though not sturdy enough !
While using roughly, the lid might get cracks in the end and the lipstick might come off from tube.
But i don’t bother that, it happened with only one between eight of my Ioni lipstick.
Smells somewhat sweet, I don’t know which i can compare that with but it doesn’t bother me.
As I mentioned before, Its from their matte range.
Matte mean It is soo matte but not drying at all, which is the reason i fell in love with this lipstick.
Color pigmentation is fantastic, smooth in texture and one swipe is enough to get the color.
You can build up color if you want, trust me it wont give any patchiness. 
Lasts like forever, even if you eat or drink… 
There is a thing which you might not like, it stains lip quite strongly, i guess that’s why it lasts long.
In my case, i don’t mind the stain, eventually, i like lipstick which stains.
However, don’t worry much, the stain not gonna sit on your lip forever, it easily comes off with baby oil or Vaseline. 
Last word,
I love it, i think you’ll love it to. Give it a try if you haven’t yet.
I feel kind of bad blogger that I’m reviewing this product after this long.. apology please !!
Take care till the nest post.

Contour And Highlight | Basic Tutorial

Contour And Highlight | Basic Tutorial
Hello there,
Today I’m doing a highly requested post about how to contour and highlight your face. I’m not an expert on contouring and highlighting. There are a lot more tricks and ways to do that. Today I’m showing only the basic procedure. If you are new to this then you can certainly achieve a good result by following and practicing my shown steps.

The product I’ve used here:
*Flormar pretty compact blush (bronzer) in shade P114
*Flormar pretty compact blush in shade P113
*MUA undress your skin shimmer highlighter.
……..you can use any product of your choice.
To start, I must mention what contouring and highlighting are. After applying foundation, your face gets a whole even canvas which means your face loses its natural dimension. Where contouring and highlighting is the technique to bring back your face structure, dimension, and light effect.

Let’s start with the process…..
Here’s my even and flat face after applying foundation.


Step 1:

Take your preferred brush and bronzing/contouring powder.
Apply it just in the line of your cheekbone. It should start from the top of your ear and finish in an angular line toward in your lip end. But do not apply close to your lip, just stop in the middle way.
This will add depth and shadow to your face and lift up your cheekbone.
Blend it nicely.

Step 2:

Using same brush and powder touch up your hairline
starting from top of ear and up to top of your forehead.
Make sure you blend it well.


Step 3:

Fill the side of your nose leaving the bridge. This will lift your nose.


Step 4:

Using the same brush sweep your bronzer under the jawline up to the end of your ear.
Also, apply some following your neck bone.
This will give a sharp look at the end of your face.

Moreover, if you have double chin this trick will help you to cover that.

Now your contouring is done…..
you can definitely see from the picture how contouring created dimension to your flat face.

Step 5:

Time to get a blushing cheek.
Take your blush powder and brush, here i prefer an angled brush, sweep that in apple of your cheek connecting to you cheekbone. Blend it well with your contouring section.

Done with contouring and blush 🙂

Step 6:

Time to light up and define the high point of your face.
Take your highlighter and a brush to apply that, pat and blend high point of your cheek and bridge of your nose. You also put some in high point of your forehead and in cupid bow of your lip. But to me that’s totally optional.
Remember, do not get much close to eyes when you applying highlighter otherwise your under eye imperfection area will be highlighted.

You are done and here’s the finished look 🙂

Take a look at the before and after pictures again… Can you detect any difference?
Yes, the difference is huge. In the before pic, the face looks so flat and boring!
After contouring and highlighting face looks totally glam up!contour and highlight
*** Note that,
I did way too dark contour and highlight than normally I would do, so that it shows up in the picture. Do not go overboard with your contour and highlight.
In my suggestion,
when you pick your bronzer pic just two or three shades of dark color than your skin tone.
For highlighter don’t just go for something white.. pick one following your skin tone. Like if you are white or whitish then you can easily go for anything with a white or pink undertone. For girls with dark skin or a yellow undertone, I think a yellow/gold tone-based highlighter is best for them.
Keep in mind, that highlighting doesn’t mean whitening up your face but adding glow/light to your face.

This tutorial was just a basic process. Hope my post helps you.



Review: Maybeline Dream Matte Powder

Review: Maybeline Dream Matte Powder
Hello Reader.
Today I’m reviewing Maybeline Dream Matte Power
Availability: all big cosmetic store in Bangladesh
Price range: for 9g of product BDT 600/- to -850/- (varies on store)

I’ve been using this product for quite long and about to hit the pan.
I’m using the shade beige (medium 2-2.5).
Luckily only this shade has yellow undertone which matches my skin perfectly.
It comes with very nice and sleek cream-beige color packaging.
There is two compartment, top one is with the powder,
in bottom one there is a mirror and the powder puff.
The powder is supper mild, lightweight with silky smooth texture, 
gives light coverage and blends with foundation like heaven.
I fond that this powder is perfect for setting and mattify foundation, stays up to 3 hour without touching up in my combination skin, doesn’t clog pores or doesn’t feel cakey at all.
As because it doesn’t give much coverage so you can really feel your skin after applying foundation.
If you thinking to wear this product alone, it wont cover up your blemishes, 
but will even out and brighten up your skin tone.
The powder it self is totally unscented which i absolutely loved.
So far, I haven’t had any breakout issue with this.
Overall, to me, this is an amazing product to have for regular use. 
I’ll definitely repurchase as soon as i hit the pan.
Take care till the next post
