Fifteen Tips To Cope Up With The Corona Lock Down Situation

Hi Friends!

Hope you are doing fine.

As you know that the whole WORLD is facing issues due to the Covid-19 Pandemic situation.

In Dubai as well there was a lock down like how it was in any other part of the world.

I cannot tell you how relieved we were when we got to know that lock down has been released and we can go out again for a walk freely.Of,course,we are not going out frequently .It is just that I was so done with the lock down situation that's after being in the lock down situation for almost three months.

So,if you are in a similar situation & lock down is either lifted or going on,please read this post and I really hope these tips will be helpful to you in some way.

Today, I will share some important tips so that you can at least cope-up with this whole situation which 

has brought a lot of uncertainty in our lives.

1.Stop getting overloaded by the social media news related to Covid 19.Be on track,however,don’t overdo it.

2.Get up early and do regular tasks at home as you used to do before the lock down.Remember how you used to dress-up for office or going out or to stay at home ? say no to pajamas (during the day time,wear it ,however,don't wear it all the time).Dressing up will be helpful as it will give you confidence.

3.Have a plan ready to be executed/day-routine for each day & by the end of the day be aware of next day’s tasks.

4.Eat well. If you like exercising/yoga/meditation-do it as per your Normal routine.It will make you feel better.

5.It’s ok to feel low for some time but then you have to get up and get going as life is very precious and you should take advantage of the truth that you have got a beautiful life to live.

6.Say positive things to yourself.Motivate yourself.Lett the negative thoughts pass,don’t hold it within yourself.let it go.

7.Do not procrastinate thinking that things can be done next day.It will become a bad habit.Learn to change your habits and try to grasp a good habit.

8.If you wanted to change something about you and felt stuck with your daily life-routine,you can at least try doing it .Eg. You wanted to learn chess or you wanted to know interesting facts about anything .Learn new words/take up online course that could help you boost your career/future.

9.Spend time with your family and enjoy.It will de-stress you.engage in cooking,planting,with kids related activity.Do video call to your friends & relatives.Share your feelings & listen to what they have to say.Help your family members and boost their faith that things will get better.by exemplifying what you’re doing on a regular basis or what they can do and boost their confidence.

10.Pay attention to your sleep routine and try to improve it. Please sleep on time so that you can start your next day will some much needed energy.

11.Try not to expose yourself too much to tv/phone/laptop and instead indulge in some productive activity like reading a book or something which will make you feel that you utilized your time in an effective manner.

12.Do not forget to sanitize & keep cleanliness around you.Do shopping online responsibly,be careful and either you leave the package out of your reach for three days and sanitize before opening the package.

Makeup Post : BH Cosmetics-Take me back to Brazil Palette-Five different eye-looks

Hi Fam!

Today,I am going to share my latest five different eye-looks which I did using BH Cosmetics #Takemebacktobrazil eyeshadow palette.

Let's get started!

1. Light Green & Light sky blue

I love the way the light green colour goes with the light sky blue/mint blue colour.I knew that a muted rusty-brown lipstick will look great with this whole look.Look how well this entire makeup-look turned out! I love this makeup-look to bits.
                           

2. Blue Eye (Hypnotize kardi e mainu...hahaha)

I am sure if you are a neutral palette lover you might not like the idea of wearing a straight-up/on your face Bright Blue eye-shadow on your eyes.However,I liked how this shade looks rich and not patchy on the eye-lids. I paired this look with muted pink toned lipstick.Somehow this eye-makeup has elevated the whole look,what do you think?

3. Bright Neon Green

See, the idea was to use the green shade all over the lids and scare others...just kidding.I do not know I don't get scared of bright eye-shadows.In fact, I like such shades a lot.

In this makeup-look,I used the Neon green eye-shadow and packed carefully onto my eye-lids.See how nicely the eye-shadow has been applied that's because of one important product which I will discuss in my upcoming makeup-post.

Alright! at the end I used the muted orange toned lipstick to finish of  the whole makeup-look. 

Did you Like this green shade?

4.Go Purple

This one was inspired by one of the renowned Indian Beauty Bloggers :Debasree

I love how purple colour has been paired up with the bright neon green.

Purple is a very tough colour to create in the form of an eye-shadow.

Let me tell you,this purple was so soft and easy to apply that it felt like a dream.#notsponsored

Didn't really had a tough time blending it too.

The right amount of the Neon green eye-shadow added the pop which looked so cool...I must say...I am in love with the colour-combinaton and you can try it out too (for sure).

Completed the whole look by keeping the lips out of focus as I wanted this colour-combo to stand out.Clearly,it happened!

5. Light Green and Dark Green

I know that this eye-makeup would have reminded of parrots...tell me...tell me if that's true? :D

I paired the light green in the inner half of my eye-lids and dark green at the outer half of it.

Blended the harsh edges with a clean blending brush and voila...we have got a beautiful eye-look which was really easy to create.As usual,used my trusty muted nude lipstick to tie up the whole makeup-look together.Will you try this makeup-look?

That's it for today.

Hope you enjoyed reading and looking-at the different eye-looks.

Do let me know if you liked any of these makeup-looks.Which one did you like the most?

How to Manage Stress?

Dear Lovelies!

Today,I would like to share different ways to stay positive and how can we handle stress!

Interesting topic right?

I am sure you must have been stressed about one thing or the other at some point in your life.

In today's world it's not a new thing,stress has become an integral part of our lives without even knowing.

From kids to adults to our-elders high stress-level has become a common reason why health issues are increasing in the world.

Taking stress is one thing ,however,not managing it well and letting it take a toll on your health is a serious concern.

Many things can cause stress such as personal problems,work-related issues,exams,interviews,not getting a perfect life-partner,not getting the job which you aspire,not liking what you do,not loving how you look or live or spend and the list goes on and on.

There are no specific and general measure/solution to handling the high stress-levels,however,we will check out whatever is in our hand.Let's go:

You can take stress and try to manage it by doing the following:

Take a deep breath and try to calm down.It will really relax your nerves and sooth your brain

Acceptance: We chase our dreams madly and forget that we are supposed to live in the moment and enjoy the little joys of life.This is when the stress-issue starts and before we realize it goes up and beyond and screws our life.
Sometimes accepting what's not your will never be yours can do wonders.Love yourself enough that nothing can degrade your self-respect/self-worth.This doesn't mean that you stop trying to achieve what you want,keep trying.Try until you feel you should and there will be a time when you'll know that it's time to stop (for sure).

Smile often :) :) :)

Try to analyse the root cause of your stress,like what's triggering it? Is it because of any personal issue or upcoming exams or work-related etc?

Once you find out the root-cause start finding out a solution to either address it or resolve it altogether by speaking up or discussing with your family members/friends/spouse etc

Let's say you still could not analyse the root cause and resolve the cause of stress,you need to still sit down and write what's not right and how you can bring YOUR LIFE in your control.This can be done by practicing positivism.Anything bad happens to us due to some reason we start blaming others,try to see the fault in yourself.Correct your thoughts ,your actions will become correct and ultimately your life will be on correct path.

Positive mindset is very very important and should not be ignored at any point in time once you've realized that stress has become an integral part of your life and engulfing you day in - day out.

Working out is important too.Being active was never a bad idea.

May be you should take up an activity which you wanted to do for a long time and never got a chance to do as LIFE HAPPENED.

Utilize each day to do something for yourself and others may be it will give you strength and reduce your stress.

Be kind to people,our behavior towards ourselves should be good along with that we should not hurt anyone.I have found out (finally) that being kind to yourself & others is the most wonderful thing.

Look around,we are just struggling to live our life and handle self-created stress-levels while others are not even getting a chance to live due to various reasons.

Life is too short to worry and die.One day you will look back and say why didn't I do what I always wanted to do and took unnecessary stress when it was not at all required!!! Like...Why?

So,I would like to be calm and change your life yourself by taking care of small things that play a major role in shaping up our mind and in turn LIFE.

Well! that's it for today.

I know it was a heavy dose of how to face the reality,however,you have to pull-up your socks and live your life happily...it's totally up to you.

Hair Care : Is it important?

Hi Fam!

Hope you are doing fine.

Today,I thought of sharing my opinion on the most requested topic of all times...is hair care important? If yes,then how to take care of it?

                                       

Who doesn't like having long, healthy,shiny and beautiful hair?

Today, we'll focus on the various reasons why actually hair-care is important.

So,let's get started!

Taking good-care of your health is important and it is equally important to take care of how you look overall.How you look should matter to you at least and not necessarily to others.

1. Hair plays an important part in reflecting your personality.
2. Well maintained hair speaks out volume.
3. I mean why not? It is the need of the hour.
4. Slight hair-styling can change the way you look, for that you need healthy hair.

Why Hair-fall occurs when we move out from India to UAE/Gulf countries?

This can happen because of so many reasons.

Few reasons are as follows:

1. May be change in water has triggered hair-fall
2. Due to low hemoglobin or high iron deficiency
3. Not following a healthy diet
4. High stress-level
5. External factors such as dust and sand blocking the roots
6. Oily scalp and so on

How to tackle these factors?

1. Visiting a doctor might help in identifying the actual root cause one of them might be due to hereditary
2. Eat well,follow a good diet-plan which should be rich in iron,proteins etc.
3. Massage your scalp coconut-oil twice a week
4. Use hair-masks such as curd and egg twice a week.This will help in keeping your roots nourished and scalp will stay clean
5. Gently rub Diluted aloe-vera gel on scalp
6. Shampoo your hair once or twice a week
7. Use Paraben free hair-care products
8. May be taking multi-vitamins help(please refer a doctor and only then take any external multi-vitamins)
9. Use a cotton scarf while your are out and about,this will help your hair breath and hair will not really come in direct contact with the dust & sand
10. Do not scratch your scalp a lot (if it itches).It itches because your scalp is dirty.Try to wash your hair whenever possible and keep it clean.
11. Stop thinking (read : overthinking) about your life-problems as it will definitely trigger stress and today,it will cause hair-fall which can certainly turn into a permanent hair-loss and cause many other health-issues.
12. Last but not the least, drink plenty of water and eat well,exercise regularly.DO NOT LEAVE HOPE. :)

Hope you found this post informative.

Today, I am going to share Five makeup-look ideas that can be done during the Holiday season.Basically,party makeup looks.

Here we go...

1. Classic Red lips!

          Kept the eye-makeup minimal and focused on the lips.

          Classic red lips look amazing on everyone & it makes the face look bright.

          Applied highlighter to give that much needed glow.Love this makeup-look to bits.

     2.  Black-glitter smokey eye-makeup look

         Black smokey eye topped-up with loads of Glitter.Coated lashes with three coats of 

         mascara.

         Completed the whole makeup look by using Deep Wine-red lipstick.

         Simple yet glamorous makeup-look.

         In my opinion makeup is on fleek...what do you think?

     3. All red-everything!

         Applied Red-glitter eyeshadow as a glitter-liner and paired it with a Dark red lipstick.

         Used a lip-gloss to give that beautiful sheen to the lips.

         The glowy makeup look can be easily done during the day-time or at night-time as you 

         feel like.

         Will you try this makeup-look?

          4. Metallic-bronze eye-shadow and burgundy lips

              Kept the makeup-look simple yet again.

              Used the metallic bronze eye-shadow all over the eye-lids.

              Used highlighter on the high-points of my face and applied Burgundy lipstick to 

              finish off this super-quick makeup-look.

      5. Sunset eye-makeup look:

       Last but not the least...this is the sunset-makeup look.

       On the eyes,used a burgundy eye-shadow as the transition shade.

       Used yellowish-orange shimmer eye-shadow on the inner-half of the eyelids.

       Used a dark black eyeliner to line the upper lash-line.

       Then,used mascara to give that fluttery & fuller-look.At the end used a 

       glossy red lipstick to complete the whole makeup-look.

I like to wear basic tees very much.It can be styled in so many different ways.So,let's see how I have styled one basic Graphic tee!!!

I chose a Graphic-Black coloured tee as such sort of tees are easily available in the stores and trending as well.

Look 1. Graphic Tee with Jeans

Plain blue denim jeans is a must have wardrobe essential.You must try this one out as it hardly took me five minutes to style this look.Added black chunky belt...yet again a very trendy peice,wore Shades and finally a strappy sandal just made me feel all the more cooler.
Finished off the look with a black hand bag.Wait wait...accessories are a very important part of styling...added a basic gold chain and wore a Golden Watch to bind the whole look. Easy peasy na!
                           

Look 2 : Graphic tee with Palazzos

As we are aware of the fact that Summer season is all about light and bright colours,I chose to pair the tee with palazzo pant.

Neons are so in this season...it's trending everywhere on the social network.I recently purchased this beautiful subtle neon orange Palazzo from NEXT and I must say I am obsessed with the colour and the fit.I wore the Black Graphic tee and paired it with the Orange Palazzo.Accessorized by using a neck-chain,watch,hand bag ,a pair of sunglasses  and again a pair of strappy sandal.One more thing that Pearly Hair clip is in trend and I used it to look cute and classy...:D

My Experience:

Shades:Purchased three shades,Ruffle Trim,Exotic & Teddy

Ruffle Trim : True peach shade.Suitable for all skin tones.I like to line my lips with a dark lip-liner and then apply this lipstick.

Exotic : Muted dusty rose pink shade.Really very pretty shade.Can definitely be used on a daily basis as it gives a feeling of My Lips But Better.

Teddy : It's a true brown shade,however it's not a deep vamy brown and can be worn easily,if at all it's a cup of your tea.Personally,I love dark shades and I love Brown lippies.Hence,I picked this one up.
It's a beautiful shade.Suitable for all skin tones.If you don't like wearing such sort of shades then you can mute it down by using a more neutral colour like ruffle trim or so.


Swatches:
                                 

                                

Packaging :

• Nice packaging.Sturdy and travel-friendly
• Clear acrylic packaging ensures that we can see the shade.
• Black colored lid with glossy finish.The lid closes tightly and product leakage was never experienced
• The flat-foot applicator helps in lining out the lips perfectly and product can be easily applied
• Labels shade details ,weight and product-expiry etc are mentioned on the tube itself.That's great!

Formula & Texture:

• Soft to touch,not gritty
• Moussy-texture,not runny liquid formula
• After applying the lipstick it dries down to a complete matte finish
• Pigmented enough to cover up the pigmented lips,gotta swipe twice/thrice at least to get the full opacity.
• Doesn't stain the lips for sure                                  

Fragrance: Chemically-scented.Fragrance which fades away with time.Not bothersome.

Longevity: Lasted on the lips for 4-5 (had meals in between).If greasy food item will be avoided,It will last for 8 hours.However,in my case,lips felt dehydrated and undernourished....and let's be real we cannot leave eating Burger and French fries...hehehe.
Re-application is easy tough as there will be no product as such on the lips after eating greasy food,so,apply a generous amount of lip balm and top it off with the lipstick.

Pro:
Shades are to die for as these sort of shades can be used on a daily basis.Pretty shades indeed!

Con: Not that long lasting and definitely lips will feel parched at the end of the day due to the formulation.

Will I re-purchase?
Yes,wanna try out this lipstick in the shade Cabaret Show.

Have you tried out these lipsticks? Do share your thoughts,would love to know.

It's a part of Powder Matte Lipstick collection.Packaging is cool too,it has got a matte black finish...love it.This shade in particular attracted me as it's a burnt orange-terracotta shade which I am loving these days.When I swatched it,I could feel that this lipstick has got a comfortable-matte finish and not purely matte finish.Check out the swatch you will understand what I am trying to say.

"On website : A moisture-matte weightless lipstick that delivers a romantic blur of effortless soft-focus colour.Devoted to Chili is a Warm Brick Red shade."

It's perfect Dupe is Maybelline's Matte Ink lipstick in the shade Globetrotter.Must check out if you wanna try out this kind of shade on a budget.I am yet to try out this lipstick,will definitely share my opinion on this lipstick super soon.

Price : AED 95

MAC X Disnep Aladdin-Matte Lipstick in the shade Rajah

Omg! I am in love with this collection.I wanted to try out this particular shade as it's a true berry red shade which I love love love.Perfect for Indian/Medium skin tone.To be honest, this is a universal shade and I am pretty sure that it will suit Fair to Deep skin tones very well.It's perfect Dupe is Chambor Geneva's Liquid Lipstick in the shade 405.Do check out.

"Devoted to Chili" lipstick has got semi-matte finish which is matte but, still moisturizing. Altough,the product claims are that it's a matte lipstick,after swatching it we can safely say that it has got a comfortable matte-finish.This lipstick is amazing and the packaging it very unique and attractive too.

Price : AED 105

Review : Biotique Skincare Products

Hi lovelies!

Hope you are doing fine.

Today,I am going to share my genuine thoughts on the products which I recently purchased from Boutique(Health & Glow,VR Bengaluru,India).

Biotique is an Indian skincare/haircare/bodycare brand.Products are 100% organically pure ,presevative-free and based on natural ingredients.I wanted to give this affordable brand a try because I had heard a lot of good things about the products and loved the fact that this brand is a cruelty free brand.

I purchased three products.

1. Biotique Papaya face-wash
2. Biotique Walnut Purifying & Polishing Scrub
3. Buotique Cucumber Toner                                       

Product Description on website:

My Experience:

My skin-type : I have got normal to combination skin.

Bio Papaya Face-wash:

This face-wash is a clear face wash with micro granules.Very gentle on the skin.This product doesn't rip-off the necessary oils from face.It leaves my skin feeling fresh.Didn't experience any sort of dryness.This face wash is mild yet effective.Fragrance->Smells fresh and not too strong...quite refreshing.Very affordable and worth purchasing.In winters,I have used this product and it's safe to say that this product is great for normal to combination skin-type.It's a nice face-wash which is worth trying once.

Rating : 3.5/5

Bio Walnut Purifying & Polishing Face-scrub:

It's a face scrub as the name suggests.It has got a pink tint and coarse walnut particles.I like the consistency of this product not too thick not too thin.

After using it my skin feels smooth indeed,but,this was not the case from the first usage.I use this scrub twice a week and it took time to show results...a month.Smells too strong and very heavily scented.I don't like the smell of this product.The walnut particles are too coarse and can hurt the skin if not used carefully.Overall,I would say it's a product worth trying but,I won't repurchase it as I am not a fan of the harsh particles in this face scrub.

Rating : 3.5/5

Bio Cucumber Pore-Tightening Toner:

This is the star of the show.This Toner has got a green tint.This is a product which is really very effective.After a long tiring day,applying this toner refreshes my skin.It has astringent kindaa smell which doesn't last for long after application.It cleans the skin thoroughly.I could see the results from the first usage itself.My cotton pad was showing the amount of dirt which was there on my face after I used this product.Phew!!!Glad that I picked this up.It's a great product and definitely worth trying.I am definitely going to purchase it once I run out of this bottle.
Note : Didn't see much of an impact on my pores though! 

Rating : 4.5/5                                            

That's it for today.Do let me know if you have tried anything from Biotique,would love to know.

xoxo...
