Beauty secrets | The Romany Gypsy way!

So i am addicted to the show 'My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding' which started in the UK and now there is an American version of the show which is super duper addictive!


I was watching it yesterday and 14 year old Nookie was explaining how Romany Gypsy's stay slim... Their beauty secret is actually kind of worrying!!! So apparently they have malt vinegar and salt with anything.. 

In the show you can see Nookie pouring a cup of vinegar with sachets of salt (oooowe), Now i know that malt vinegar is actually a great ingredient to use if your after loosing a couple of pounds, but using tons of salt is surely a health concern (So please don't try this at home)..


These girls have amazing figures, so i shall now be making an effort to pour some malt vineger in my teas or salads! (Woo)

Melaliya's review | Organix coconut milk serum

My new love <3 .....So during my big shop at boots last month i came across this amazing product which contains egg whites, (Wooohooo) i use it to style my hair when i blow-dry it and it leaves it looking healthy and shiny!

As soon as i saw that it contained egg whites i had to purchase it, as i love to use egg whites in my home made products!.....I'm not really a fan of putting coconut in my hair as it tends to dry out my ends, but this has really changed my views!

Oragnix even have a range of products that contain Argain oil (Yeyyyy to the Berbers) which i am yet to try out, but so far i am so in love with this as it actually works and the smell is so yummm! :-)

Beauty must have | Yes to

Yipeee, so i received my products i brought from beautybay.com and i am so exciteddd to share this item with you guys!!!

Yes to carrots 

I wanted to try out some of the Yesto products as they contain natural fruit and vege ingredients (And there is a big hype on how great they are!)....I must say when i applied it my lips instantly felt softer and lush!!! 
Surprisingly it does not spell like carrots it actually smells like mint! (WOOO)
I am going to continue to use it as my main lip primer and will let you know how i get on....So far so good <3 <3 Oh and the lip butter is CHEAP and the same price as many other lip products from the highstreet!

Beauty must have | Egyptian Magic

Sorry guys kept away from blogging yesterday as i have been really busy, so do forgive me....

Ok so i have been wanting to show you guys a BIG beauty secret, this product is the Shiz-nizzle! This is used by such celebrities as Madonna, Karolina Kurkova, Eva Mendes, Kate Hudson, and many more, they all swear by it.....(WOW)

The person who created this needs to get a beauty award, now i am telling you if you do not have this in your life then bohooo!

EGYPTIAN MAGIC!

I was first introduced to this around 2 years ago, and i had been looking for something that was suitable for bad blemishes, uneven skin tone and minor acne... I used it every day before i went to bed and It worked wonders within a couple of days my face looked flawless and very radiant! 

Shiz-nizzle!!!

 I stopped using it 7 months after my tub finished as it was very expensive to keep buying, but with the fantastic results i now cut back on spending on other products to continuously purchase it, it cost £23.95 for a 120ml and well worth it!

Egyptian Magic contains 6 natural ingredients Olive oil, Beeswax, Honey, Bee pollen, Royal Jelly and Propolis extract.

The consistency is very similar to vaseline, so when applied onto the finger it melts and becomes oily...It is also a all purpose skin cream and can be used on your hair, face and body and i would really recommend it to everyone all skin types and defiantly to those of you who have acne!

TIP: Please beware of buying this item from ebay as their are many fakes! 

 

Natural secret | DIY Hair mask

Now during the weekend i like to relax and go natural with hair products... one of my favorite homemade masks is a secret i have been using for years.... 

So basically you mash all the below ingredients in a blender....then apply to the bottom of your hair and slowly work your way up....after cover you hair with cling film and leave for 45 mins....then wash your hair out with warm water (Make sure it is not that hot as you do not want to end up with scrambled egg in your hair!).......And wallaaaaaaaa frizz free, lush hair!

3 tsp of Yogurt

2 tsp of Mayonnaise

1 Avocado

1/2 a Banana 

3 tsp Natural Argan oil 

1 Egg

GlamPad | Highlighting and Contouring

I am such a big fan of contouring and a perfect example of beautifully done contouring, is Kanika Kapoor in her new video 'Jungi Ji' (How AMAZING does she look)

Contouring is an excellent way to define your features, and also makes your face look slimmer within minutes!!!

Contouring is very easy to learn and with the right tools any one can do it.. 

For everyday contouring the best compact kit that i have used so far, is from the brand Sleek, it has a dark compact colour and also a highlighter which is great for above the cheekbones and the price is great!...

 Tip: Everyone has different dimensions to their face and different features they would like to bring out, therefore don't go on youtube and follow the steps of a makeup guru, as what they are doing might not be suitable for the shape of your face.

Now the best photogenic way to get this look is by using creme foundation, the trick i use is used by many pros to give a glow to their clients....

 First start by drawing lines on the features that you wish to highlight using a creme foundation that is very light (i say 3 times lighter for your skin tone), then use a darker shade creme foundation around 3 times darker and draw lines on your Cheekbones, temples, forehead and jawline.

Next using a stipple brush and a sheer foundation that matches your skin tone, blend the lines into your skin (blend blend blend)... Lastly use a setting powder to set the foundation and Wallaaaaa !

If this sounds confusing... Don't worry i will be doing a makeup tutorial very soon!

Shopping haul | The Pop Look review

So summer time is here and I was after some maxi dresses and came across ThePopLook.com, the items on their website looked really beautiful and i was looking forward to purchasing from them.

Their based all the way in Malaysia so converting the money was fine thanks to xe.com (LOL) ...... So i chose 3 different style dresses that looked really nice and modest, all 3 dresses came up to RM 241 plus postage and packaging at RM 29 which is £50.96 ... I ordered on the 28th May 2012 and received it today 7th June 2012 so it came quit fast!!.

This is my receipt, to show you guys that i purchased this item with my own money and all reviews are my own opinion....

The packaging looked like this (OOOOHH exciting)

Ok so the first dress i ordered was a green shirt dress, it looked really lightweight, and something that i would wear to work.

It was meant to look like this....

But ermmmmm it looked like this....

 (Oh myyy) (Angry face) I am so disappointed because the whole dress was creased, it actually looks like it was probably washed and given to me! (harsh yeh i know) also i am 5ft4 and the dress does not even come up to my ankles :-( ...I am annoyed at the fact they will send this sort of quality out to their customers!!

Anyways moving on....

The next item i brought was this beautiful pinkish dress with a waterfall edge, it does look nice on but sadly it was also was creased and short (above my ankles)!

The last item is this black maxi......

Now i do not want this to be a really negative review... and i am going to give The Pop Look some credit for this beautiful dress, the cut out, the arms, and the way it falls is amazing..... and it looks like an Abaya!!!!! 

So Abaya loving sisters i would defiantly recommend to have this in your wardrobe!..... (WOHOOOO for the one item that was no creased)... 

Overall my experience from shopping at ThePopLook.com has been a below average (Neyyy)....  i don't think i can forgive them for the creased dresses, and i do hope they compensate me for the inconvenience or i will be one unhappy customer! But other than that i do love the black elegant dress so 4/10....
