REVIEW: GEL POLISH

Hello everyone sorry for being M.I.A for a while I had to sort some stuff out. Hope you all are good. Anyway I had been hearing lots of good stuff about gel polish that I had to try it out for myself. One thing I noticed is that it's quite glossy and I ddnt need a top coat as compared to if I used normal nail polish.
A disadvantage is that it cannot be applied directly on the nail as this can damage your nails if put under the UV lights I used 3 coats of a base coat because I did not have the proper base coat needed and it works just fine. Overall it lasts longer than normal nail polish which is a plus for me as I am constantly touching water. Also one has to be really careful when applying because you do not want to apply on your cuticles as this can cause some discomfort ( I cannot explain the feeling you get in words :-D)
The following are pictures of the process please forgive how my nails look and how I applied the polish because God knows it's hard for me to apply my own nail polish :-D

FREE PALESTINE

As you have already guessed from the title that this is neither about fashion nor beauty post. This is a movement that aims to stop the innocent killings of Palestinians by the Israelis. Yes the Palestinians are Muslims but we have to learn to look beyond the religious factor and see that they are also human beings and cannot be judged on the actions of a few as every religion has extremists.This post doesn't say that every Jew is bad it's just a few as I said no one religion should be judged by the actions of a few.
So please if you could go online and get a picture of free palestine and upload it as your profile picture and join the protest and educate as many people as possible and encourage them to join the movement as well.

REVIEW: GABRINI LIPSTICK


Hello hope everybody is doing good. So recently I was at foodplus formally known as chandarana but for some strange reason this new name hasn't quite sank in yet because I still call it chandarana. :-D
I decided to go and see what kind of beauty products they have in stock and at what price. My jaw literally dropped at the variety of nailpolish they had and all sorts of different colors but quite frankly I was disappointed at their lipstick "variety"
At first I did not like any shade of lipstick they had until I came across the gabrini brand and I tell you I totally fell inlove with the lipstick number 6. Not only was it so easy to apply but it also suits all skin tones(well according to me). So this lipstick contains vitamin E and is really pigmented on the lips. Though its a safe color as in its not in your face and can be applied with your everyday look. So the following photos are how the lipstick looks like and how it looks like on me.

DIY AVOCADO HAIR MASK

Hello everyone hope you are all well. Avocado is very rich in proteins and vitamins basically its awesome but did you know you can use it on your hair? Yepp it's not only eaten but can be used as a hair mask. Basically it prevents hair loss and encourages hair growth plus it also adds shine to your hair and makes it soft. This recipe has really helped my hair. This can be used once every monthas a deep conditioner because if used all the time it can cause your hair to have a protein overload leading to cutting of hair.  

Things you will need:
1 avocado
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons of coconut oil

Directions
Cut up the avocado into pieces and then begin smashing it you can use a spoon or fork. Once smashed proceed to add the coconut and extra virgin olive oil. Apply generously to clean hair then cover with a shower cap leave on for 30 minutes then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Plus I spend more than 20 minutes in that section. Everytime I go there, there is always something new I wanna try out.
I purchased a 400ml hoity toity lotion and if you have ever purchased their body spray you know how awesome it smells and I love how the lotion smells exactly like the body spray :-D. Plus it contains glycerin which is very hydrating on the skin and makes the skin really smooth.
The other things I purchased were the shirley may love more perfumed body spray which smell so heavenly I wish I could put it in words.
