What is Hair Spa

A relatively new concept for hair rebirth, hair spa is a therapy that is essential for maintaining healthy growth of follicles. If you want to enjoy a relaxing massage, or want to look your best for a special occasion, a hair spa treatment is the perfect solution in building the strength of each hair follicle giving the hair a stronger and a more bouncy look. There is no age limit per se for a spa visit and you can start as young as 14-15. Since this is typically the age at which dandruff and hair fall problems can start, you can do a spa as often as a week if you wish.

So what is a hair spa exactly? It is basically a procedure that helps to make your hair strong, bouncy and shiny, while simultaneously dealing with dandruff, damaged hair, and hair fall control. It is one of the most popular trends for conditioning your hair to keep it healthy these days. For people who find that their hair lacks strength and volume, a hair spa is ideal for rejuvenating and protecting the hair. Deep conditioning Hair Spa treatment is designed to strengthen the hair follicles, nourish the roots & revitalize the scalp that leads to natural hair rebirth.

You may have tried massaging your scalp with warm coconut oil or olive oil. It is an age old trick for increased blood circulation that boosts hair growth. The usual routine of washing your hair with a mild shampoo to clean the oil and then applying conditioner is something we all do regularly.

A hair spa is basically an oil & shampoo hair wash plus a lot more. For example, if you’re doing a hair spa at home, after massaging oil in your hair, dip a towel in warm water and squeeze the excess water out. Wrap the towel around the hair. This allows the oil to penetrate deep into the scalp. After conditioning, seals in the nourishment with a hair mask.

Some hair spa benefits include:

• It helps to normalize oil secretions.


• It increases cell metabolism and stimulates blood circulation.


• It eliminates impurities inside pores and repairs damaged hair.


• It restores vital oils and moisture for a smooth, sensuous glow that begins at the roots.

Bio Bloom Skin Care Moisturizer Almond Milk Review

Who can’t do without moisturizers and who likes good smelling ones?…well I can’t live without moisturizers and I do like good smelling ones.I keep experimenting and changing my body lotions as I get bored very soon. But I have this thing that I can’t open a new product until I finish my current one. Ever since I got to know that parabens in excess can affect your hormonal levels, it scared the hell out of me as I see almost every other product from my favorite list has parabens. So I have started not completely eliminating but minimising the parabens in my overall routine. I talk too much, ain’t I? Anyhow let me take you through the review of Bio Bloom Skin Care Moisturizer Almond Milk.

Bio Bloom Skin Care Moisturizer Almond Milk, Ingredients & Direction to Use:

Price, Quantity, Shelf-life and Buy online in India:

399/- INR for 100ml(Pretty costly eh!!!). Shelf-life of 36 months. Buy online at Flipkart, Shopclues & Biobloom.

My Experience with Bio Bloom Skin Care Moisturizer Almond Milk:

The first thing I liked about Bio Bloom Skin Care Moisturizer Almond Milk is the lightweight travel-friendly sleek plastic bottle which can be carried easily in your handbag if you want. The packaging is simple and has that ethnic kind of touch.

As soon as you open the bottle you are welcomed by sweet mild fragrance of almond blossoms(That is what brand says) which is not overboard and vanishes few minutes after application. I find the scent soothing.

Bio Bloom Skin Care Moisturizer Almond Milk has texture like thick lotion but to my surprise it spreads easily and sinks into skin in no time which is what I like about it.

In this slightly cold rainy season of Pune, I do not feel the need of reapplication throughout the day. I reapply only if I take night shower. The hydration it provides to my normal skin is commendable. It might not be hydrating enough for harsh winters and to very dry skinned people and reapplication might be needed, otherwise it serves the purpose successfully.

Final Verdict: 4/5

Bio Bloom Skin Care Moisturizer Almond Milk is free from parabens and harmful petrochemicals. IT provides hydartion to skin and fullfills its claims. Lotion does not do anything extraordinary and does not claim as well. It does not have any SPF and MRP of 399/- for 100ml for an ordinary lotion is high(for me atleast) but I have finished this bottle and would love to buy it but only on sale price.

Monsoon Hair Care Routine You Must Follow

You can almost feel the moisture is accumulating in the hair, which means only one thing, the monsoon is around the corner. While it is easy to get carried away by the beautiful weather, most of us dread the monsoon due to mounting humidity in the air, causing absolute hair-havoc! These extreme variations in the weather strip off the outermost layer of the hair strand cuticle, making it brittle, rough and prone to dryness. This makes hair fall in rainy season a serious problem. It can be avoided though, with proper hair care in monsoon.

Image source – https://image.rewardme.in/Assets/Modules/Editorial/Article/Images/is-colouring-your-hair-a-monsoon-friendly-choice-1-size-3.jpg

4 Essential Routines To Include In Your Daily Hair Care During Monsoon:

#1 – The exposure to contrasting climatic conditions from extreme heat in the summers to the damp monsoons can take a toll on your hair, ultimately leaving it frizzy and unmanageable. Monsoon hair care is absolutely essential, as damp hair is a hotbed for bacteria. If you do not want to deal with bad hair days more often than you thought, hair care in rainy season is a must. Do not tie your hair when it is wet. To salvage oily roots in between washes, a good dry shampoo is the much needed quick burst that instantly refreshes your hair in seconds.

#2 – Using styling products is understandable, if you are not blessed with naturally healthy hair. However, during the monsoons it is advisable to try and refrain from using these products. Due to excess humidity these chemical based products tend to make your hair excessively oily/greasy. This in turn causes harm to your hair and scalp and also lead to dandruff. Besides dandruff and hair fall having an oily scalp must be washed regularly with a mild shampoo. Over styling your hair, using a lot of heat without heat protectants could also lead to hair fall. Already hair fall in rainy season is a bit more than usual. So, ensuring you use minimum amount of styling products is essential!

#3 – Shampooing oily hair daily is also necessary because your hair may become limp during monsoons and only shampooing can restore volume to your hair. Shampoo daily if your hair is exposed to rain water every day. The elevated levels of humidity in the air lead to hair becoming coarse and dry, which in turn makes the hair frizzy. Conditioning them regularly helps to get rid of the frizziness making it easier for you to manage.

#4 – Lastly, it is also important to take care of your diet. Protein is the most important nutrient for healthy hair. So, if you want to flaunt your hair, you must eat foods that are a rich source of protein, such as salmons, eggs, carrots, whole grains, dark green veggies, kidney beans, nuts, low-fat dairy products etc. No matter what your hair type is, these tips and tricks will come in handy to help you get rid of hair and scalp problems during the monsoons.

Zaful Shopping Haul and Site Review

Online shopping has made many shopping experience easy atleast for a person like me who dreads the queues in front of trial rooms and international sites with great deals and international shipping has made it easier by making the market and choice broader. I am delightful that Zaful has offered me a chance to experience their products and shopping experience. So today I’m sharing my shopping haul and site review of Zaful.

Zaful claims to be Direct to Customer online shop and hence offer maximum saving deals and offers on premium quality products. They do not have branded stuff and the products listed are from local brands. They have exclusive collection of clothing, footwear and accessories. The website is pretty easy to navigate with better(no-nonsense) filters to optimise your search. The shipping info you can check out here.

The order was dispatched within 2-3 days and reached to me in approx 15 days from date of dispatch which is considerably good. The products came in a small packet which made me wonder whether all the products are there but as soon as I unpacked I have seen products packed nicely and jewellery items were kept inside clothing item to save it from damage.

Now lets have a look at the stuff I bought. I have included 2 images, one from official site and second which I clicked of each product to make it clear that how products look on website and what they look in actual.

1. Zaful Rhinestone Triangle Tassel Necklace and Earrings:

The necklace set looks exactly how it looked on site and the quality is quite good. Here is my pic:

2. Zaful Roman Numeral Rhinestoned Watch:

The watch looks good as well. The strap is not of premium quality but not poor quality as well.

3. Zaful Turn-Down Collar Black PU Leather Jacket:

The jacket is made of Faux leather with Suede lining. I have followed their size guide and the size fits perfectly. Big thumbs up for the size guide. The quality of the jacket is also really good.

Final Verdict: 3.5/5

Overall good shopping experience with the site. The shipping charges depend on the weight of the parcel, for me it was around 10$ and I did not have to pay any custom charges. The stuff is not very premium quality but definitely qualifies for good quality. I would suggest you to check it out as they have really chic collection and I am going to haul next time as well.

Till next time…take care…xoxo.

My Fashionmia Monsoon Wardrobe Essentials Wishlist

I have no specific rules/bars when it comes to dressing up. The only rule I follow is that I wear weather appropriate clothes :D(As if nobody follows that :P) but anyhow what I have wanted to say is that I do not have any colour related rules or anything like that. I wear what I like till it is comfortable.

So when fashionmia approached me to check out their website, I have explored their collection and asusual since it is continuously and insanely raining here in Pune, it was hard to take my mind of “Monsoon” so I have decided to make monsoon wardrobe essential wishlist and share with all of you. One thing sure is that you are going to see lots of shirt clothes because i do not like my clothes getting dirty in muddy water 😛

Here is what is in my Fashionmia Monsoon Wardrobe Essentials Wishlist:

Midi-Skirt:

I wear lots of midi-skirts in light fabric in monsoon because they easily dry if you get drenched and they don’t get dirty in mud if you decide to walk 😛 and chic prints are always my favourite like this Printed Chic Midi-Skirt:

Romper:

Once again rompers are my cult favourite for monsoon specially for outings. They are stylish chic ans stylish. I liked this Printed Striped Romper a lot:

Long-Sleeve-T-Shirt:

For night outings or movie/coffee dates I like full-sleeve t-shirts as they can save you from feeling cold and of they are in a Floral Print Patchwork Round Neck like this one, they look elegant too 🙂

Shrug/Light Cardigan:

Do you have a favorite top you wanna wear but it is sleeveless and it is slightly cold outside, don’t worry throw a nice shrug or a light/thin cardigan like this one over it and you are good to rock:

Bodycon Dress:

And for the dates or parties or even office a smart colourful bodycon dress will make sure you are up in the game 🙂 Fashionmia has quite good collection of dresses and i liked this one a lot:

Apart from these i also like to wear maxi dresses 🙂 what are your monsoon wardrobe essentials? Do you live by fashion rules? Share your thoughts in comment section below 🙂

Read on for detailed review and swatches of NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Amsterdam SMLC01.

• Velvety smooth Soft Matte finish.


• Sweetly scented and delightfully creamy.


• Lightweight and long-lasting

 

Price, Shelf-life and Buy it in India:

Officially priced at $6 for 8ml. I bought it at 570/- INR from Sephora India, Now the price is increased to 710/-INR at Sephora. Many sites sell it online but those products can be fake as well but You can buy authentic NYX Soft matte lipcreams at 600/-INR at Nykaa.

My Review and Swatches of NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Amsterdam SMLC01:

NYX Soft Matte Lip Creams has been my most craved product by NYX and has been in my wishlist forever but I was not able to get my hands on it as it was always out of stock on authentic sites and I was scared that I might get first copy if i do not buy from authentic site ans since i did not have a single original piece to compare with, I have decided not to take risk. So when I was in gurgaon I have not missed the opportunity to grab this from Sephora India. This was the only bright shade out of 5-6 shades which were available at sephora Gurgaon that time. As soon as I swatched it, I decided to buy it without a second thought.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Amsterdam comes in a transparent tube which is kind of regular lipgloss type packaging. It has matte black cap and a doe-tip applicator. Pardon me please, I’m really bad at explaining packaging. Shade number is written at cap and bottom of tube. Shade name is written only at bottom. The packaging in this pic is same as listed on NYX’s original website so if you buy these online and get different packaging then you should be alert that it might be very old product or copy as well.

As soon as you open the cap you are welcomed with delicious vanilla scent. The texture of NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Amsterdam is whipped mousse like which goes smoothly on lips and set into matte finish within a minute.

NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Amsterdam is a pink based red which will look flattering on all skin tones. It is superbly pigmented and 1 swipe is all you need to cover even pigmented lips. You can layer it without worrying that it would crumble. It feels velvety on lips and not very uncomfortable or drying like most of the matte lipsticks.

My lips do not get dry with matte lipsticks in normal weather so I do not prep my lips beforehand but in colder weather I apply lipbalm to prep my lips so if your lips tend to get superdry then I would suggest prepping(scrub & Lipbalm) your lips before applying these. Here is how it looks on my non-pigmented lips:

The staying power of NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Amsterdam is average given we have long lasting formulas these days. It stays for good 5-6 hours and survives full meals in between, unless ofcourse if you eat something oily then it fades from centre of your lips. Reapplying this is non-messy 🙂 After meals sometime i notice slight flaking on my lips but nothing major.

Here is exclusive FOTD (To give clear idea about how the colour looks on my NC35 skin):

Final Verdict: 5/5

For me NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Amsterdam is total winner. Be it flattering red shade, velvety mousse texture, yummy vanilla scent or comfortable matte formula, NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Amsterdam stole my heart all the way.

Repurchase: Forever and ever.
Recommended: Definitely 🙂

So What do you think about my rave about NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream Amsterdam? I sound like a girl who has a crush over someone 😀 I have 2 more shades Antwerp and San Paulo which I would try to swatch soon. Which NYX soft matte lip cream shade is your favorite?
