Life Hack Tuesdays: Convert your eye-pencil to a super intense gel eye liner + GIVEAWAY.

Hey dolls,

Personally speaking I prefer gel eyeliners and liquid eyeliners more than a normal eyepencil because of the dark colour they leave, I can say from my experience that they are longer lasting than kohls pencils. But they're more expensive too! Here's a simple trick you can follow to make them work just like the gel liners, All you need is.. 1) An eye pencil 2) Lighter/Candle or any kind of flame.

Just hold the nib of the pencil above the flame for 1 second and let it cool down.

You have an intense liner to use, Amazing isn't it?

What do you prefer, a gel liner or a pencil? Tell me in your comments below and you can win a MAC liquid liner. Details on my Twitter so follow me and stay tuned!

Life Hack Tuesdays: Use ice cubes to remove gum from your hair.

Hey Dolls,

We've all got scared at the thought of chewing gum in our hair, Haven't we? I've had nightmares about it as a kid because of this particular cousin of mine who always threatened with his fantasy of sticking a chewing gum to my hair while I'm sleeping, I guess it was because I was always really possessive about my hair. I hated cutting my hair short and I knew that if he did do that I would have to cut-off that section immediately to prevent all my other hair from sticking to it and then probably cut my hair further to make my hair look even. But I read this article which might save someone's pretty hair someday. *I haven't tried it but it sounds convincing so whats the harm in trying it before reaching out for the scissors?

Rub some ice on the chewing gum, It will harden the gum hence making it non elastic, making it easier to remove. You can also use this method for getting gum off the soles of shoes so thats pretty great right?

I hope no one has to use this tip but if you do please let me know how it worked, also check out my other posts, do subscribe and leave comments. I'm planning to do a giveaway soon so stay tuned, follow me on Twitter for more information.

XOXO,

DIY Natural Cleansers for Dry, Oily & Normal Skin

Every morning and evening we wash our faces, hoping to rid ourselves of any 

potentially harmful substances that have come in contact with the surface of our precious skin. It’s important to know that we’re cleansing our skin with the 

best possible ingredients, which is one of the main reasons I love making my

 own beauty products.  Not all skin is created equal, though, so today I have 

recipes for three different cleansing concoctions: one for dry skin, one for oily

 skin, and one for normal skin.

First up: Dry Skin. Wintertime, hot showers, air conditioners & heaters are 

often the culprit for skin that lacks moisture. The base for this cleanser is

plain yogurt, which, apart from its natural cleansing properties, is full of 

protein to soften your skin. It’s also a bit acidic, so it acts as an exfoliator,

removing unwanted dead cells from the surface of your skin. Honey acts as

a humectants, drawing moisture into your skin and keeping it there, as olive 

oil adds further moisture. Apples give your skin vitamins A, B, and C, as well 

as a dose of antioxidants to keep you looking fresh.

Next up: Oily Skin. For those whose skin tends to be on the oily side, 

let lemon and oatmeal be your new friends. Lemon acts as an astringent 

as well as a disinfectant, killing any bacteria that may otherwise cause 

breakouts, while oatmeal exfoliates the skin, absorbing excess oils in the 

process. Honey will restore moisture into your skin, balancing out any 

dryness that could have been caused by the lemon.

Finally, Normal Skin For those whose skin tends to be somewhere in 

between dry and oily, this cleanser is for you. The yogurt and cucumber 

nourish and clear your skin without drying it, while the mint adds a 

pleasant soothing experience.

Yes this is true! Don’t throw out that banana peel just yet, use it as a natural teeth whitening treatment.

How to use: Make sure your teeth are clean and dry. Gently rub the inside of a ripe banana peel on your teeth for 2 minutes. Make sure to get all your teeth.  Leave the the banana peel residue on your teeth for a good 5-8 minutes.
