Adovia Exfoliating Body Scrub with Dead Sea Salt and Natural Oils

Hi Girls,

Today I have a review for this product which is Adovia Exfoliating Body Scrub with Dead Sea Salt and Natural Oils. I have used this few times over the weekends, at home spa day. Lets talk about the packaging first, it arrived to me in box and I was so surprised that it was packaged and sealed so beautifully, that nothing leaked in shipment. As soon as you open this jar, it smells like sea. This is oil based scrub for your body. When you exfoliate after shower your skin will be moisturized with that oil. It gives a shine to your skin. I think it will be very nice product to use in winters, as it will hydrate your dry skin. It works great, but just be careful while using, because of oil, it might be slippery in shower. This is my first time I have used body scrub like this, and I am definitely happy with it.



 I would highly recommend this product to everyone with any type of skin. It has results with just one use. Smells great, leaves the skin feeling youthful, pamper yourself and go get it. It cost around $15.95, perfect for gift.

Home Remedies for Managing Curly Hair

Hi Girls,

Recently my friend shared this really interesting article from a website called TOP 10 Home Remedies

I have really curly hair, as many of you know already who follow me on my social media, must have seen my photos in that. After reading this article, I felt like sharing with all of you too, who have curly hair or who have someone in your friends and family with curly hair at your home too.

Naturally curly hair is due to the twisted shape of the hair follicle. More twists means more curls.
Curly hair is considered by many as both a blessing and a curse. Tell me about it:) sometimes I just want to straighten my hair for once, but then I am afraid of harsh chemicals which may destroy my hair. I have been struggling with this dilemma all my life, hope these remedies will help someone who has the same struggle. I love my curly hair, but its hard to manage and style sometimes. I have tried few of the methods below like hot oil massage and Fenugreek seeds, it helped me little, but you have to be quite regular for these, which I am not sometimes.

While curly hair can be voluminous, bouncy and beautiful, it can often be unruly, dry and very difficult to manage and style.

One of the biggest problems with curly hair is that it tends to frizz, especially when hit with humidity. Plus, it is more prone to split ends and breakage, and brushing can worsen this. So, the first rule for curly hair is to reduce the frizz and keep it well conditioned.

There are many hair care products in the market to smooth and soften frizzy curls. Such products will give you immediate results but, in the long run, they will do more harm to your hair than good. A preferable solution is some simple, natural home remedies that will help tame your curls and make your hair more manageable.
home remdies for curly hair
Here are the top 10 home remedies for managing curly hair.

1. Apple Cider Vinegar

To define your natural curls and prevent frizzing, the best remedy is apple cider vinegar. Its acidic nature will help maintain the natural pH level of your hair. This in turn will make your hair less frizzy and give it a great healthy shine. Plus, it will work as a natural hair clarifier and remove product buildup from your hair.
  1. Mix together equal amounts of apple cider vinegar and water.
  2. Shampoo your hair and use this solution as a hair rinse.
  3. Let it sit for a few minutes and then rinse with cool water.
  4. Follow this remedy once or twice per month.

2. Beer

Beer helps replenish moisture in your hair. Apart from revitalizing curls, it will also make your hair softer, shinier and more bouncy. For curly hair, it is recommended to use dark and non-alcoholic beer.
  1. Wash your hair with your regular shampoo and rinse with water.
  2. Slowly pour beer on your hair, making sure each strand gets coated.
  3. Let it sit in your hair for about five minutes so that it penetrates the hair shafts.
  4. Rinse your hair with cold water.
  5. Use this remedy once every two weeks.

3. Hot Oil Massage

A regular hot oil massage is important for curly hair as it is prone to drying. It will add moisture and help avoid fizzing. For this treatment, you can use olive, coconut or almond oil.
  1. Warm the oil for two to four minutes in the microwave.
  2. Allow the oil to cool to room temperature or until it is comfortably hot.
  3. Apply the oil and gently massage your scalp and hair, from root to top.
  4. Put on a shower cap and then wrap your head in a hot towel.
  5. Leave it on for one hour and then shampoo and condition your hair as usual.
  6. Repeat at least once a week.

4. Eggs

Eggs are another very popular home remedy for curly hair. The high protein and fat content in eggs helps add moisture and restore the health of your hair.
home remedy for managing curly hair
  • Whisk one egg and mix in two teaspoons of olive oil and one tablespoon of mayonnaise. Apply it on your hair and leave it on for about 30 minutes. Then wash your hair thoroughly with cold water.
  • Alternatively, mix one beaten egg, two tablespoons of olive oil and one-fourth cup of pureed cucumber. Massage this mixture into your hair from scalp to ends, then cover your hair with a shower cap. Leave it on for 30 minutes and then shampoo your hair.
Use either of these remedies once a week.

5. Avocado

Avocado is an effective remedy for curly hair. The moisturizing property of avocado will leave your curls hydrated, shiny and easier to manage.
  • Mix one mashed avocado and two tablespoons of yogurt to make a smooth creamy paste. Apply this paste on your hair and let it sit for about one hour. Then rinse it out and shampoo as usual.
  • Alternatively, mash a whole avocado into a paste and mix in a splash of olive oil. You can also add a little coconut milk. After shampooing your hair, apply this homemade mask. Let it sit for 30 minutes to one hour and then rinse thoroughly.
  • You can also make a paste of equal amounts of ripe banana and avocado. You can add one-half tablespoon of almond oil too. Massage it into your hair. Leave it on for 20 minutes and then wash your hair with your regular shampoo.
You can follow any of these remedies once or twice every week.

6. Fenugreek Seeds

An excellent herbal remedy for curly hair is fenugreek seeds. They have high levels of lecithin, which is an emulsifying agent. This helps lock in moisture to make your hair more flexible and block out humidity to decrease frizz and make your hair look fuller and curlier.
  1. Soak three to five tablespoons of fenugreek seeds in water overnight.
  2. The next morning, grind the soaked seeds to make a thick paste.
  3. Mix three tablespoons of plain yogurt and one tablespoon of olive oil into the paste.
  4. Massage the paste onto the scalp and throughout your hair.
  5. Leave it on for at least one hour before rinsing it off with warm water and shampooing your hair.
  6. Repeat once or twice a week.

7. Aloe Vera

aloe vera gel
Aloevera smoothes the hair cuticle and promotes shine and moisture in hair. Plus, it has a high water and is loaded with 20 minerals, 12 vitamins, 18 amino acids and several other nutrients, so it is also good for your hair’s overall health.
  • Massage fresh aloevera gel into your hair and scalp and leave it on for 15 minutes. Then rinse it off with lukewarm water and wash your hair with a mild shampoo.
  • Alternatively, prepare a paste with four tablespoons of aloe vera gel, two tablespoons of coconut oil and three tablespoons of plain yogurt. Apply this paste on your hair. Leave it on for about 30 minutes before rinsing it off with lukewarm water.
Follow either of these remedies once or twice a week.

8. Carbonated Water

carbonated water
Another very simple remedy to define your curls and reduce frizz is carbonated or sparkling water, thanks to its low pH level. It also helps clarify your hair and makes it extra soft and shiny.
  1. Dilute some non-flavored carbonated water with an equal amount of plain water and set it aside.
  2. Shampoo your hair and rinse with plain water.
  3. Use the diluted carbonated water as a final rinse.
  4. Let your hair air dry.
  5. Follow this remedy a few times a week.

9. Honey

honey
Honey is a natural humectant that can help restore moisture to dry hair. This in turn will help manage your curly hair.
  1. Mix equal amounts of warm honey and extra-virgin olive oil or coconut oil.
  2. Massage this mixture into your hair from scalp to ends.
  3. Cover with a shower cap and leave it on for 30 minutes.
  4. Wash your hair with a mild shampoo.
  5. You can use this remedy once a week.

10. Hibiscus

hibiscus
Another excellent remedy for managing curly hair is hibiscus. The slippery juice of the hibiscus flower and leaves works as a natural hair conditioner. Plus, hibiscus seals the hair cuticles and helps stop hair breakage.
  1. Grind three to four hibiscus leaves and the petals of two flowers with a little water. You can also add dried hibiscus powder to make a fine paste
  2. Apply it all over your hair.
  3. Leave it on for 10 to 20 minutes before rinsing it off with lukewarm water.
  4. The next day, shampoo your hair.
  5. Repeat this remedy once or twice a week for best results.
Additional Tips
  • Avoid using heat styling tools like flat irons and curling irons.
  • Do not wash your hair every day.
  • Use the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair type.
  • If you swim in a chlorinated pool regularly, use a clarifying shampoo and conditioner. Preferably, wear a swim cap or shower cap while swimming.
  • Apply conditioner starting about one inch away from the root and go all the way down to the tips of your hair. Do not use too much conditioner as this can make your hair look greasy.
  • Deep condition your hair at least once a week to keep it hydrated.
  • After each wash when your hair is slightly damp, detangle it with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
  • Avoid towel drying curly hair and do not use a hair dryer.
  • Get your hair trimmed every two months to prevent split ends.
These remedies and tips will help you achieve the bouncing, flowing, frizz-free curls you want.

Hope you will find something from your stash too:) do share your picks with me.

This is the article and color selection Allure Magazine picked.

5 Nail Polish Colors to Try Right Now

MAGENTA

We get that you're not Malibu Barbie. But this take on hot pink has cool lavender undertones that make it elegant. It explains why magenta was the manicure of choice on spring runways, including Chanel's.

My Picks:-Essence in Ultimate Pink, WetnWild Shine in Lavender Crème, Essence Girls Night Out, NYC Wine Bar and Sinful Colors in Ablaze

Magenta is my favorite from all nail polishes color for summer. That is why you will see I have more options in that.

Chitra Pal NYC Nailpolish Wine Bar 144 (23)  Chitra Pal Sinful Colors Ablaze (37)

PAPAYA

What could be more appropriate for warmer weather than nails that are the color of fresh tropical juice (bright orange with a hint of pink)?

My Picks:- Sally Hansen Sun Kissed, WetnWild Shine in Blazed, Essie 1095 and Lac Beauty 1964

Chitra Pal Papaya Color Nailpolsihes (1)   Chitra Pal Papaya Color Nailpolsihes (2)

My Picks:- NYC Purple Pizzazz, Sally Hansen Pacific Blue

  Chitra Pal NYC Long Wearing Purple Pizzazz Frost (1) Chitra Pal Sally Hansen PacificBlue (28)

SEAFOAM GREEN

This is the vacation version of a goes-with-everything neutral. Pale mint is soft enough to work with your brightest bikini.

My Picks:- Sally Hansen in Mint Sorbet and Sally Girl in Brainy

Chitra Pal SEAFOAM GREEN Nailpolishes (1)  Chitra Pal SEAFOAM GREEN Nailpolishes (2)

BRIGHT LEMON

True, yellow nail polish isn't for everyone. It looks as crisp as linen on fair or dark complexions, but on olive skin, it emphasizes yellow undertones.

My Picks:- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mellow Yellow and NYC Long Wear in Midtown Mimosa

Chitra Pal Honey Bee Nails (4)   Chitra Pal BRIGHT LEMON Nailpolishes

I already shared my Manicure using some of these polishes on my blog and Instagram , if you want to see how I did it, click on Instagram account (cateyesdamsel) or have a look at my previous blogpost.

Spring Favorites

This is the first time I decided to share my beauty favorites. I have been wanting to share these posts with you for along time, but I was not sure whether I should do monthly and seasonal favorites, so finally I decided to do this one to start with, what do you guys think?

I will try to post every month my favorite beauty products, hopefully I can keep up with it.

I am also going to do small mini reviews for them in these posts. These are just my opinion for these products, it can differ from all skin types.

Today I am going to share some of my Spring Favorites. When a new season begins to change your make-up routine is as important as re-arranging your closet for the new time. Independently of your skin type, the weather change affects all the beauty tools you use that maybe for winter were okay, but with the heat getting closer and the skin trying to moisturize by itself, new methods and products are needed.

One thing always happens with the change of warm weather is that make-up tends to soften a lot, while in winter a heavy foundation may stay intact, on spring-summer is hard to maintain, not to mention unnatural.

Chitra Pal Spring Favorites 2015 (7)

1. This season is where I use the most is BB/CC Creams, and if you want more coverage you can always mix 50/50 with your usual foundation. I use this L'Oreal Magic Nude Liquid Powder which is medium coverage foundation, but its perfect for spring and summer season. I am in shade Classic Ivory. I think they are discontinuing this line, its such an amazing foundation, If you find it better grab it now. I already have two backups.

  Chitra Pal Spring Favorites 2015 (4) 

2. I use this WetnWild Coloricon Bronzer in Reserve your Cabana as over all setting/ face powder. I know it’s a bronzer but I use it as face powder because its perfect shade for my skin tone. It has SPF 15 for  protection which is a great deal two in one product.

3. Pixi Color Corrector Concealer in Brightening peach. It’s a salmon peach color corrector which diminishes my purple/blue tone under eyes.

Chitra Pal Spring Favorites 2015 (8)

4. Milani Baked Blush in Delizioso Pink. It’s a perfect blue based pink matte bush without any shimmer. It has great pigmentation, is not powdery, and has a silky application with nice coverage. This is such a gorgeous blush. It looks really bright in the pan, but you can apply it lightly and it gives your skin a beautiful, natural glow. I have cool toned skin and this complements it so well. This looks so natural and really brightens up your face. Great staying power too.

Chitra Pal Spring Favorites 2015 (2)  Chitra Pal Spring Favorites 2015 (5) 

5. Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips All-in-One Custom Palette for Face & Eyes in Natural Nude. I love using it as a highlighter on my cheeks and on my eyelid and inner corner. I also some of the shimmer shadows as overall eyelid color. Its such a great multipurpose product.  

6. Rimmel Gel Eyeliner and Kate Moss Green Eye shadow stick in Green These are such long wearing eyeliners. This black eyeliner is my holy grail gel eyeliner. Its such a great easy wear liner. In Spring season I wear a lot of colorful liners too, this season have been using green color. I have been using green liner as lid color or tight line or lower lid.

Chitra Pal Spring Favorites 2015 (9)

7. Essence I love Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara. I really love this mascara. It gives great volume, length, and darkness. Clumps a little bit but not bad at all, the brush is good. I use it everyday and would definitely buy it again.

Chitra Pal Spring Favorites 2015 (15) 

8. Epille Green Tea Cleanisng Tissues, These are amazing. They work really well and they're so cheap. They leave my face feeling so soft, and it removes all the oils, dirt, and makeup. It's also so amazing because  $1 for 30 wipes and $2 for 60 wipes, rather then having wipes around 5-7 dollars that don't even work. Plus it works for all skin types,it cannot beat that. I love that they come in variety of choices from cucumber, aloe, green tea, and others. I would totally buy these again.

Chitra Pal Spring Favorites 2015 (6)

9. Sexiest Fantasies body mist in Fireworks , its such a perfect body mist for spring season. Its pretty sensual odor. Its just $8 at CVS.

Chitra Pal Spring Favorites 2015 (10)  Chitra Pal Spring Favorites 2015 (16)

10. Lipsticks:- This spring season I have got some new lipsticks in my stash and have been using them every day.

a. Jordana Matte it Girl

b. Milani Matte Passion

c. Milani Rose Hip

d. Milani Pretty Natural

e. Black Radiance Hibiscus

f. Maybelline Color Elixir in Rose Redefined

Chitra Pal Spring Favorites 2015 (12)

11. Nail polishes In spring season I start using all bright orange , pink colors. This season I have mostly used these a lot. I have already posted a Manicure before using the lavender nail polish from Poparazi and glitter.

Forever 21 in purple Clear, WetnWild Blazed Poparazzi in Lovely in Liliac, Essie 1095, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Big Teal 325 , Essence Ultimate Pink , NYC Grand Central clear coat and Poparazi Cuticle Oil

Chitra Pal Spring Favorites 2015 (14)  

12. Jergens BB Protect and BB Body, in spring don’t need any heavy sunscreen coats, just a sheer protections is good enough. I use this Jergens BB Protect cream which has SPF 15 which is good for over all body. It has sheer color like bb cream but does not change your skin color by any means. It smells really nice. I have already reviewed this on my blog, click here for detailed review.

13. Carmex Vanilla lip balm with spf 15, you always have to protect the lips also from sun. This is a perfect lip balm for spring, as it has sheer vanilla flavor.

Chitra Pal Spring Favorites 2015 (1)

Dr. Lark’s Trilane Retinol + Vitamin C



Dr. Lark’s Trilane Retinol + Vitamin C
Hi Girls,

Today I wanted to share one amazing product which I have been using in my skincare regime daily since three weeks now. It’s a Vitamic C + Retinol serum from Dr Lark’s Trilane .



 I use one pump of the moisturizer on a clean face, and make sure it’s rubbed into the facial skin and neck until it’s almost completely absorbed. I do this once at night. After using for a little while, you’ll definitely begin to see the amazing results this product has to offer. One pump is enough, you don’t need any more product, and it has 30 ml of product. When you use it first time, you will notice it’s an oil consistency but when you put it on, it works like any other great moisturizer, goes on smoothly to your skin and covers all skin in one pump does not feel oily or greasy at all. Its 100% all natural product. It does not have any particular smell which will bother you. It’s good for sensitive skin, it feels on warm when you use it but goes away.

Another important thing I wanted to share is that you must remember to protect your skin from the sun when you use retinol based products during the day. Retinol tends to make the skin sun-sensitive; therefore you might want to apply a sunscreen lotion in case you use the Trilane in the morning routine.

 


 I personally only use it in night only when my skin can breathe only in this and no other products which helps to sink in more. You might see a slight difference in change in your skin tone if you keep on using Vitamin C products for longer time.
I didn’t find any bad things to share, other than it’s a bit pricey, but you get two in one product and I have a 20% discount code for you to order.

You can order this product by clicking this link:-
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K3FY3GE

If you decide to order this, you can get a 20% discount by applying this discount code:- SAVERETC

Note: Save 20% off your first purchase of Trilane Retinol + Vitamin C sold by Healthy Directions on Amazon.com. Promotion code expires 12/31/15

The anti-aging power of retinol without the harshness

 Product Description

Developed by the same doctor who brought you the original all-natural squalane beauty oil, beauty expert Dr. Lark has taken Trilane and made it even better by adding a special blend of gentle, yet effective, retinol and vitamin C. This new “golden oil” gives you everything original Trilane offers, plus age-fighting and skin-renewing antioxidants to leave your skin smoother, more even, and less wrinkled, for a more radiant, youthful glow. Known for its ability to reduce fine lines, diminish brown spots, and speed natural cell turnover, retinol can often be a source of frustration for women who after use, experience dry, flaky, irritated skin. The good news is that with New Trilane Retinol + Vitamin C, you don’t have to worry about these harsh side effects! Using a proprietary blend of retinol, vitamin C, and key botanicals, combined with the ultra-hydrating squalane and firming jojoba esters found in original Trilane, this new powerful antioxidant-packed oil gently hydrates and improves dryness, something other retinol products have a hard time doing. Plus, cucumber and licorice extracts work to help soothe and calm the skin. Silky, but nongreasy, this new 100% natural golden oil also smoothes skin texture, goes deep into the skin to unclog pores, boosts collagen, reduces the appearance of brown spots, AND delivers a powerhouse of gentle exfoliation benefits to help keep your skin fresh and new. Plus, its powerful antioxidant properties help ward off future damage from environmental stresses on your skin. And, you’ll feel the difference within minutes! To help brighten and clarify the skin and promote collagen, Dr. Lark added in vitamin C. Combined with retinol, this powerful antioxidant helps reduce unwanted irritation associated with retinol-only products. This new beauty oil packs a great value, especially when compared to department store retinol products. Plus, it’s gentle enough to use as part of your everyday Trilane skincare routine

Science and Quality:-

My Favorite Things About This Product:

Retinol

Retinol is a form of vitamin A that is used topically on the skin. It improves skin texture and helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles and brown spots by increasing cell turnover. It prompts surface skin cells to turn over and die, making way for new skin cells just underneath, promoting smoother skin. It also is considered a skin thickener due to its ability to reduce the breakdown of collagen.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin against the aging effects of the sun. Plus, it helps clarify and brighten the skin for a more even skin tone.

Squalane

Squalane is a natural emollient (a substance that smoothes and softens the skin) that makes skin supple without making it greasy. It has been used as an ingredient in topical creams and cosmetics for over 25 years.1

Jojoba Esters

In a double-blind, placebo-controlled human study, researchers evaluated the skin application of jojoba esters. The results showed a decrease in dryness, roughness, and flakiness in just 30 minutes; reduced fine lines in one hour; and visible improvement of skin firmness in 5 hours.2
Botanical Blend including Pomegranate, Cucumber, and Licorice Extracts
These hydrating botanicals help soothe irritated, inflamed epithelium, increase skin hydration, enhance the barrier function of the skin, reduce water loss, and even out skin tone.

Enjoy
