Quick and Easy DIY Face and Eye pack for Summers-2 ingredients

 

Today I am going to share a DIY face pack/mask with you, which is my grandmothers recipe which she used and passed on to us for clear skin.

She used this often in summers to prevent sunburn and clearing and toning the skin. This easy and simple eye pack removes under eye circles/puffiness and relax your eyes. You can do this twice a week or once a week to remove dark circles and clean the pores.

Ingredients

1. 1/2 Cucumber
2. Rose Water
3. Two cotton pads

Directions

1. Grate the Cucumber
2. Add 1 tsp of rose water in cucumber and stir got for just 2$ from an Indian Store for 6.8 oz / 200ml
3. Soak the cotton pads into the bowl
4. Take it out and keep in fridge
5. Rub the cucumber all over your face and then in last place the cotton pads on your eye.

Some really great benefits of using cucumber for skin:-

1. It hydrates your skin and makes your skin so cooled after a hot summer day.
2. Cucumber can clear and maintain your complexion , effectively circumventing pimples and blackheads.
3. Its juice is an astringent that lightens facial skin and it open pores which is essential for cleanliness.
4. It has been used as a remedy for sunburn issues as it has high water and nutrient content, it can nourish the skin and expedite the healing process. And also it has cooling effect so it will help to get rid of pain really fast.

Some benefits using rose water for skin :-

• Rose water acts as a natural facial cleanser.
• It helps to remove the tan and dirt on face.
• Daily cleaning the face with this water helps to makes our face soft and glow very naturally.
• To keep the glow on face - Wash face with rose water, while going outside.
• Using of rose water helps to keep away from unwanted oil, redness & impurities on face.
• Habituate the rose water applying to the face. This will minimize the pores by removing dust in them and also helps to reduce the wrinkles.
• It can also used as a makeup remover to remove the makeup on face.
• Using of this water will helps to reduce the dryness and peeling skin on face.
• Adding the rose water in the facial mask instead of water will clean and removes the dirt on face as a cleanser.

I always buy a big bottle of Rose water from Indian Store at just $2 and I transfer half of it in my spray bottle and mix with little water and keep it in my fridge and use a toner or refresher on my face. I always carry it with me in my purse if I go to beach or out for long day.

Spotted Elf Products at Walmart

 

Recently I spotted, ELF products at Walmart in Irving,TX.

There were some makeup brushes, very famous bronzer and blush duo and some eye makeup palettes. But unfortunately the price was not less than target, it was just same.

ELF cosmetics, are mostly found in Target and Walgreens, otherwise you can order them online at http://www.eyeslipsface.com/.

In case you don’t know about them then they are pretty affordable drugstore brand, many of their products are such high quality like other high-end products. If you are on budget, you can always opt for these cosmetics.

If you do know anything about it, please let us know too. Some of my followers told me that they have ELF at their Walmart since a year now. I hope we get some more products here too.

Review on e.l.f. Studio Matte Lip Color in Rich Red

Hi Girls, as most of you know we have a very affordable line of cosmetics called E.L.F. (Eyes Lips Face). They have so many great products starting from as low as $1, just $1. They can be found at Target, Walgreens and ordered online too at http://www.eyeslipsface.com/
But today I am going to review lipstick from Elf Studio line which is for 3$ (0.06oz/1.8g), which is pretty affordable, drugstore brand, this is their professional makeup and cosmetics line.
They have six colors in this lipstick

1. Coral
2. Natural
3. Tea Rose
4. Praline
5. Nearly Nude
6. Rich Red

I am reviewing on Rich Red today, I picked up this from Target recently as I love red color and love matte.
     
 
 
Pros:-

• The enriched vitamin A, C & E formula moisturizes
• Packaging looks really high end.
• Affordable
• Formula is not drying like some matte lipsticks.
• Very good Pigmentation
• Moisturizing
• Long Lasting ( had to touch up after 4-5 hours)
• Daily Use
• Even Application
• Lightweight
• True blue tone red
• Convenient jumbo sized lip pencil
• Hydrates lips for beautiful healthy looking lips.
• You can line the lips and fill in with this , no need to use lip liner.

Cons:-

• Somehow my twisting end came off after two uses, but I could fix it again back.
• Different from color on container end.
• Does not stain.

Recommendation:- I would highly recommend this color, I don’t know if other colors have some formula or not, but I absolutely love this color. This is one of the lipsticks I'm actually very satisfied with. The color is bright and it stays on for a really long time.
Here are some lip swatches and product pictures.

3$ - DIY Lipstick holder from recycled Toothpaste pack

 

Hi Girls, In this post I am going to show you how you can make your own lipstick holder with recycled toothpaste pack. I know, I also never thought I will be doing this, but actually I was in search of inexpensive lipstick holder as my lipstick collection was growing. I watched many YouTube videos for this DIY, but they all used recycled cardboards for it, but one day when I was throwing away all my recycled boxes I found perfect size for all my lipsticks and I decided to make this DIY. If you like it please share with your friends and family.

You will need

1. Duck Tape 3-4 $ from craft store /walmart /dollar store
2. Recycled Toothpaste pack.

Steps:- As shown in the picture just take any tooth paste pack, and cut in open rectangle shape. Secure both corners with scotch tape and attach the dividers in between and cover with your desired duck tape and you are finished.

This is so easy inexpensive / cheap to make your own lipstick holder at home. It is made in no time, it took me just 15 minutes. You can arrange the lipsticks according to your style, your most used ones in front or mix and match like I did. It store around 18-19 lipsticks which is enough for me. You can make more than one to store lipsticks according to colors or brands.
