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.

My Experience:
Shade: 480, Red Said Black. It's a coffee brown with heavy reddish-blue undertones. It looks like the darkest shade available in the collection in my opinion.Perfect for the winter season. I lover dark shades and that's why I chose this particular shade!It will suit all the skin tones well.Especially medium-complexioned Indian skin tones.

Swatch:                                 
                                   
In Pic : Swatch of the Ultimate Colour Lipstick

Packaging:
The lipsticks in the Ultimate Colour collection come in a black coloured plastic tube.Details like shade number,name,quantity and shelf-life are mentioned on the tube-packaging.The bottom of the lipstick has a colour-coded sticker that matches the lipstick's shade the tube holds.It comes in very handy if we have more than one lipstick from this collection.The packaging is sleek,sturdy and travel-friendly.
                                     
         
                                     In Pic: Shown colour-coded sticker at the bottom of the lipstick

Formula & Texture:
  • This lipstick has got a creamy-finish
  • Very pigmented.One single swipe is enough to cover-up any lip-pigmentation
  • Satin-finish of the lipstick makes the lips look luscious
  • Very comfortable on the lips and doesn't bleed.
  • Doesn't settle into the fine-lip lines.Keeps lips moisturized for a really long time
  • Sets quickly on the lips and after few hours looks kind of matte on the lips.Yes,the sheen goes away as the time passes
  • Survives light snacks.After a heavy meal,we need to re-apply the lipstick Stains the lips as it's a very dark shade.
  • Re-application is easy and layering up the product doesn't look patchy.
  • Doesn't flake or feather unless you have chapped lips
  • Not transfer-proof. Transfers a lot.
  • Not smudge-proof
Longevity:
Lasts for about five hours (max).This lipstick can be removed easily using a makeup-wipe or a remover.Long lasting lipstick...I must say.

Con:
Transfers a lot!

Overall,I love this lipstick and you must try at least one shade out of the fifteen shades available.The lipsticks in the Ultimate colour collection are very pigmented and long-lasting at the same time.There are awesome shades available...from nudes to bold reds they have it all.Cool collection!

Will I re-purchase?
Yes. Also, this shade is an addition to my existing Catrice Ultimate Color lipstick collection. Would love to try out other shades from this range.Love the formula to bits!

Rating : 4.5/5

Tips: Lining out lips before applying the lipstick is a good idea.Also,don't forget to prep-up the lips by exfoliating and applying a generous amount of lip balm.Then,wipe off the lip balm exactly before applying the lipstick

Availability:
In UAE,available at the V Perfume stores.

Review : Jergens Foot Cream

Hi Beauties!

Hope you are doing well!

Feet is the most ignored body part of all times.Ideally,on a day to day basis we should take care of our feet along with other body parts.No body likes dry,chapped and dirty-looking feet.So what do we do? Have we found out a solution? I was looking out for a good foot cream and came across this product from Jergens.
Today, I am gonna share with you my thoughts on the Jergens Foot Cream. Read on to find out if this product is great or not!

About Jergens:
Be beautiful from head to toe with the JERGENS® moisturizing collection.
Beautiful begins with skin.
JERGENS® moisturisers are uniquely created to make a beautiful difference to your skin—a difference you can actually see, feel and experience.

                                 
   
In Pic : Shown Jergens Foot Cream

Best for: Extra dry skin.
Deep penetrating foot cream, with Shea Butter, Coconut Milk & Vitamin E, significantly improves the look and feel of even the driest feet.
Jergens foot cream helps you reveal deeply luminous skin.For external use only. Avoid eye contact.Store away from heat and humidity.

Price : AED 15

Quantity : 100 ml

Shelf-life : 12 months
                                  
Ingredients :
WATER (AQUA), GLYCERIN, CETEARYL ALCOHOL, PETROLATUM, BUTYROSPERMUM PARKII (SHEA) BUTTER, UREA, STEARIC ACID, CETEARETH-20, LACTAMIDE MEA, OLEA EUROPAEA (OLIVE) FRUIT OIL, PARAFFIN, DIMETHICONE, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, ANANAS SATIVUS (PINEAPPLE) FRUIT JUICE, CITRUS MEDICA LIMONUM (LEMON) JUICE, CITRUS GRANDIS (GRAPEFRUIT) JUICE, BHT, CARAMEL, DISODIUM EDTA, COCOS NUCIFERA (COCONUT) FRUIT EXTRACT, SODIUM HYDROXIDE, ACRYLATES/C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER, METHYLISOTHIAZOLINONE, PHENOXYETHANOL, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, PROPYLPARABEN, METHYLPARABEN, FRAGRANCE (PERFUME).
                                      
My Experience :

Packaging:
The product comes in a cream-coloured plastic tube.The tube has got a flip open cap.It's very tight and secures the product well.We need to squeeze the tube to take out the product.The nozzle is of appropriate size and enough product comes out at a time.All the details like ingredients,shelf-life,quantity etc are mentioned on the packaging.The tube is really compact and not heavy at all.Very sturdy and travel friendly packaging.Experienced no product-spillage in the handbag while travelling.Decent packaging.
                                     
In Pic : Shown the flip open cap attached to the tube

Formula & Texture:
Formula : Ingredients like glycerin , shea butter , olive oil, pineapple juice, lemon juice, grapefruit juice , coconut fruit extract have been used. 
These ingredients are well-known to deal with skin-issues and make it feel more rejuvenated. 
  • Shea butter and coconut extract keeps the skin moisturized.
  • Vitamin E present in olive oil is an antioxidant that protects the skin against sun damage and other environmental stresses. 
  • In general,Lemon juice helps in killing the bacteria etc.
  • In general,Grapefruit is high in antioxidants which fight the free radicals that cause wrinkles, and dull complexion. The salicylic acid present in the grapefruit juice works magically on the elbows, knees and rough patches.                     
Texture: The off white coloured foot cream has a very creamy texture, The consistency is not that thin or runny, it's well balanced.Get's absorbed into the skin meticulously. Non sticky product.

                                         
In Pic : Shown the actual foot crem


In Pic : Shown the consistency of the foot cream (thin)

Fragrance:
If you have smelled shea butter ever, you will recognize the fragrance of the foot cream.It's mild and smells kind of vanilla-like...it's pleasant , nothing bothersome.The fragrance goes away as the time passes.Very quickly.

Effective?
Yes.
  • The foot cream has a creamy texture which is amazing.Soft to touch.No granules or harsh particles are present.Plain cream.
  • Nice ingredients.The combo of the ingredients like glycerin , shea butter ,coconut extract etc is amazing. It works on the skin pretty well.
  • Very lightweight formula. Doesn't feel greasy at all.
  • It gets absorbed into the skin quite well
  • Very comfortable.After applying the cream on the feet, the skin feels better.
  • Regular usage of this product helped in reducing the skin-dryness
  • Also, flakiness of the skin was tackled well by this cream
  • As the time passed, skin felt moisturized, soft and supple.
  • Won't say that we will get fairy-like feet in just one day of usage.Keep using this product on a regular-basis to feel the effect.A month or so, it totally depends on the severity of the damaged skin.
  • For best results, wash your feet at night and apply the foot cream generously.Wear socks and sleep tight.Doing this will help in reducing the dryness and will heal the rough skin.
Con:
  • Not Paraben free.
  • Contains dimethicone and alcohol
  • A bit pricey for the quantity being offered.One tube lasted for a month.But,yes the product-quality is great!
Will I re-purchase?
Yes.

Overall,I would like to say that this foot cream is really nice.You should check out and try this product if you are suffering from dry & rough feet.Must try out once.Highly recommend.

Rating : 4/5

Availability:
In UAE, Carrefour stores and all well-known supermarkets.

Formula & Texture:

• Hyaluronic has been used in the lipsticks in this collection...awesome

• Has very mild vanilla-fragrance


Benfits and importance of Hyaluronic acid:

• Hyaluronic acid is also used as a lip filler in plastic surgery
• Some people apply hyaluronic acid to the skin for healing wounds, burns, skin ulcers, and as a moisturizer
• There is also a lot of interest in using hyaluronic acid to prevent the effects of aging

Swatch:
                             

In Pic : Shown the swatch of the lipstick

Effective and worth?
Yes

• Firstly,the brand is cruelty-free and all the products are Paraban free...really cool
Very comfortable on lips.Need to swipe two to three times to get an intense colour payoff.It can be     toned down and used as MLBB shade as well! Hides lip pigmentation completely.
Keeps lips moisturized i.e.Hyaluronic acid keeps lips hydrated and smooth
• This lipstick doesn't enhance dry patches on the lips
• The lipstick doesn't bleed,flake or sit into the lip's fine-lines
• It does not stain the lips and wears-off evenly!
• The lipstick has a wear time of around 3 to 4 hours(max)
• Need to do a touch-up after meals as the lipstick fades away evenly.Re-application of the product is easy and the product sits smoothly on the lips

Con:
Nothing

Will I re-purchase?
Yes,I love it so much.It's an amazing shade that can be worn on a daily basis.Very impressed.It looks dark in the tube , but , when applied on the lips it looks muted brown-red kind of shade.Perfect.Love it. Do check this shade out girls!

I highly recommend this lipstick and do check out Velvet Touch Matt lipstick-collection
as there are nice shades out there.

Rating : 5/5

Tip:
Exfoliate your lips before wearing any lipstick specially matte lipsticks else the lipstick will cling to the dry patches on the lips!

XXL Swirl up volume and spectacular length and a giant swirled rubber brush are the keywords of the new Boombastic Swirl Mascara. The formula of the Boombastic Swirl mascara is full-bodied, creamy and really spreadable. It blackens and thickens the lashes without making them look clumpy or spidery. The added Argan Oil and Bamboo Extract gives lashes a boost whilst a synergy of waxes and olive oil adds nourishing properties to the formula.

The vibrant green container reflects the infused bamboo extract while the artwork brings the swirled brush to mind with the discreet swirled O in Boombastic. The present Boombastic mascara is one of the bestselling mascaras within the GOSH Cosmetics mascara assort­ment and with the new Boombastic Swirl Mascara now added to the Boombastic mascara range, anyone can find a Boombastic mascara for every look and mood.

A giant swirled rubber brush with bristles at the tip grabbing even the tiniest lashes for application. The unique spiral shaped combination of bristles and discs creates spectacular volume and length.

My Experience:

Packaging:
The first thing that attracted me towards this product was the packaging indeed.The vibrant neon-green coloured bottle looked amazing and appealing.The details like quantity,shelf-life and shade name are mentioned on the packaging itself.The twist open cap is easy to remove.The mascara-applicator is very different and swirly unlike any other normal looking mascara.Interesting. Sturdy and travel-friendly packaging.Easy to carry in your handbag.

Formula & Texture:
The formula is neither very wet nor dry,it's just somewhere in between and perfect.It's well balanced.
It dries quickly.The moussy-textured mascara is nicely pigmented and easy to work with.
Need to apply a coat and then wait for it to dry.Then re-apply the product on the lashes.This ensures that we get that desired length.

Effective?
Yes.Kind of.
  • Firstly, the formula is so nice that it becomes very easy to play with the mascara.
  • The wand is long and the swirly-bristles help in coating each and every eye-lash.
  • The bristles at the front of the applicator helps in reaching out the lashes around the inner corner.Be careful and do not poke your eyes.
  • Applying two to three coats of the mascara helps in getting lengthened lashes.
  • In order to get volume, we need to apply the mascara for about three to four times.
  • It holds the curled lashes very well.
  • Smudge-proof : Didn't smudge a bit and stayed put whole day.
  • Didn't flake at all.Avoid layering a lot of product,else, It will certainly flake.
  • Key Ingredients : Argan Oil and Bamboo Extract improves lashes - volume and vitality and makes them stronger.Argan Oil helps in strengthening the hairs in the long run and bamboo extract keeps the lashes moisturized.How cool is that! Makeup that has skincare-ingredients.Amazing.
  • It's water resistant to a great extent.Not really waterproof as such.Not that easy to remove using lukewarm water.Need to use a good makeup remover.
                                   
                                                            In Pic : Shown mascara-wand

Con:
  • The actual applicator is very huge and it becomes very difficult to push into the bottle at times.Be patient.
  • Messy application due to the huge applicator
  • Need to keep layering to get desired volume and hence the product starts clumping on the lashes
  • Gives no volume to the lashes
  • Some people might find this mascara pricy
Will I re-purchase?
No, as I wanna try other mascaras from the same brand. I had tried Crazy Volume mascara earlier and liked it.
But, I recommend Boombastic Swirl mascara to people who are looking for a decent mascara that gives average length to their lashes.It separates the lashes beautifully.Holds up the curls well.
