Relationship: Giving Space!?

Relationships are not easy, be it any.
You have to a put a lot of work in it, by both ends.
Just one person trying to make it work is never good enough.

According to me what most couples are missing these days, is their ability to talk.
Every one is becoming so anti-social, giving preferences to things that don't even matter, like watching T.V. rather than asking about each others day, or playing xbox instead of taking a nice long walk together.

What you are not realizing is, you are missing so much love in your life every minute that you spend doing some irrelevant stuff over putting effort in your relationship.

When you'll be older there will be plenty of time to watch T.V. or play games.
But for now, be with each other as much as possible.
You never know what might happen tomorrow.

But sometimes, staying apart for a little time is okay.
One cannot always be in a happy mood.
We all have a dark side, don't we?
It can be pretty confusing to decide in such a situation, to whether leave the partner alone or comfort them.

But you can find out.

Here is how:
When this happens with your partner, try to comfort them. Spend time with them, try to know the problem.
If they respond positively, that is their dark side starts vanishing.. you did good! ^_

But what if they aren't responding to it the way you expected?
Well, then let it be.

We all are very different from each other.
Some like to be comforted and loved when feeling blue, while some like to be left alone.

You have to respect your partners choice.

For some people it is difficult to leave people alone in sadness, but dont force people in talking and sharing things if they don't want to.

Some people take time to let others in. To make others a complete part of their world.
And it's okay, there is nothing wrong with protecting yourself from being hurt.

All you can do is wait patiently for them to crawl out of their shell and when they do, dont expect them to share anything with you. They might never wanna remember it again.
Give them love and make them believe that you'll always be there for them.

That's all they need. That's all anyone can need.

Remember, everyone is different.
Respect it! :)

Have a great day!

What to do: Liking a boy who hasn't asked you out yet. (Being confident)

'I like a boy, who probably doesn't even know that I exist'
Or
'I like my class mate/ friend but he hasn't asked me out yet!'

If this is the case with you and you have no idea what to do, I am here to rescue you. ^_

There is a very simple solution to this, like seriously, very simple.

And that is.. ...

Ask him out yourself!

You must be thinking I am crazy or something, but honestly girls, you can't just wait for the boy to ask you out.
Stop handing boys your fate!

It's your life and no one but you should decide which way to go!

You wanna date him, ask him.

It will make you self dependent and strong.
Many girls feel shy to approach a boy, remember they are just another human like yourself.

Life is too short and unpredictable to wait for miracles to happen.

If you want it, you gotta get it!

Now, asking a guy out is a little bit different.
You want to keep your dignity intact girls. You dont want to look desperate or something, believe me! *-*

Notice how boys are so cool about asking a girl out?
I am not asking you to copy them, just learn a few tricks.

Here are some Do's and Do not's for asking a boy out:

1. Keep your tone normal and confident- Girls tend to get excited and that can easily be noticed by the pitch of their voice. So stay calm and composed and ask normally like you would do with a friend.

2. The waiting game- If you have to wait for his reply, dont keep nagging him to answer asap! Give him his time, meanwhile watch your favorite show or do something that will help you keep distracted so that you dont go crazy.

3. If he says yes!- Screaaaammmm but not in front of him, he might get scared. Lol.  Alone or with your best friend. :p

4. If he turns you down- You have nothing to loose. Be proud that you took a step most people are afraid of. Atleast, now you won't have to live with the 'what if's', because you know the answer.
Embrace and love the new, confident you. :)

5. Don't make this 'being self dependent' be a one time thing, you have to know your value girl.
Take charge of your life from now on, and you will live a happy life with no regrets.

I hope this helps at least one person out there.
Let me know if it does. ^^

Just in case you are wondering if I ever asked a guy out, Yes I did!
I knew nothing about him, yet I tracked him down and we were in a relationship for sometime.

So if I can, you can too! ^_^

Until next time.
Xoxo.

Breakup- Blaming yourself?

Break up is not easy, and when you start blaming yourself for the failure of the relationship things get worse.

And this is coming from a person who made this mistake and is still facing the ill's of that choice.

I am not here to be your 'shrink'.
I just want to share my thoughts n experiences with you, hoping it would help you make the right choice somehow.
Choice of either blaming yourself for everything bad or taking the high road.

Every choice is going to have it's consequences, either good or bad.
Taking from my very own experience, being the 'it was my fault person' comes with the bad ones.

I know if you are ready to take all the blame of a failure that might not even be because of you then you must be crazy in love.
But nothing good will come from it.

The first time you take a wrong blame, you actually give up a piece of yourself! For almost forever!

And soon it will become a habit and you won't even notice until one day you find a perfect person but it'll be too late, because until then you would have given up so much.

For me, its probably too late and yet I haven't given up hope.
Because if I dont watch my back, who will?

Now, whenever something bad happens, to me or even the people in my life, I somehow find a way to blame myself for it.
I do it because I became addicted to it. It's a habit that won't ever go away.

Don't do to yourself what I did.

So dear, be strong.
If it's coming to an end, let it.
Right now you must be feeling like this is the end and you will never find someone like him or her, but trust me you will.

What gave me strength in my sad days were these words:

'One day you will find someone amazing and it'll be clear why it did not work out with anyone else'

(I can't remember the exact words)

And you have to let this one go and wait for the right person to come find you.

And they will. Very soon.

Be sad, be mad at the world.
Blame everyone around.
Cry all day long.
Do anything you want to, but dont take a blame for something that is not your doing.

And always support and love yourself, that way you will be self dependent.
You won't need someone else to make you feel special.

I tried to put what I had in my mind in words and get some sense out of it, but right now my thoughts are blurry.

I am now going to end this on a beautiful quote:

'Everything will be fine sooner or later.
And if it's not, don't worry,it's not The END Of The World'

Keep your strength close to your heart.

Happy healing!
Xoxo. :)

Song of the day! Bones- Ginny Blackmore.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye5fxkj0CQs

Who doesn't want to be loved?
To have a person who accepts and adores you, just the way you are.
This cruel world can be a very lonely and cold place sometimes and nothing beats the feeling of knowing that there is someone who will never leave your side.

A girl has a lot of insecurities,
Am I beautiful?
Am I good enough to be loved?
What if he looses interest in me one day and leaves? What am I gonna do then?
And the list goes on... ...

And then your guy treats you like shit!

This song is very beautiful. All you girls sharing some insecurities should listen to this once.

"I wish that you could see
Who I really am.
It sucks being a woman,
In love with an unkind man,
Cause baby I would give you the world,
In fact, I already do.
And how do you repay that?
Talk to me like I'm just a regular tramp tryna screw you
Over, do you even have a clue
What I gave up just to be here,
To serve your ass with steak and beer?

Baby that's love
Baby that's real
And all I've ever wanted was for your damn arms
To wrap themselves around me and say

Hey, girl you're the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me
Hey girl you're the prettiest thing my heart has ever known
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me

I'm not tryna play the victim
Don't wanna go head to head
But boy I shouldn't have to stand in the mirror
Convincing myself I'm fair
Baby that's your job to do
Baby you should think I'm beautiful
Why you wanna watch the set
When I'm layin' right next to you in our own room
I feel like you don't even know I'm there
But I put a brush through my hair for you
Run my fingertips over your back real smooth

Cause boy I need love
I don't get enough
And all I've ever wanted was for your damn arms
To put themselves around me and say

Hey, girl you're the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me
Hey girl you're the prettiest thing my heart has ever known
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me

I look you dead in the eye and say I love you
In the eye and say I want you
In the eye and say this is what I'm asking for
How can you sit and stare at the wall
Do you even like me at all?
Start talking 'bout makin' it better
It ain't that complicated
I just wanna feel your arms around me, babe
Please say...

Girl you're the prettiest thing my eyes have ever seen
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me
Hey girl you're the prettiest thing my heart has ever known
Come and lay your bones down with me
Come and lay your bones down with me

Please, please baby
It's a woman's dream
.."

I love this song, I came across this one "by chance",  because of aksh, again. 

"[Nicki Minaj:]
Doctor, doctor, need you back home in bed
Doctor, doctor, where you at?
Give me something
I need your love
I need your love
I need your loving
You got that kind of medicine that keeps me comin'

My body needs a hero
Come and save me
Something tells me you know how to save me
I've been feeling real low.
Oh, I need you to come and rescue me

Oh!


Make me come alive
Come on and turn me on
Touch me, save my life
Come on and turn me on
I'm too young to die
Come on and turn me on
Turn me on

2. Slow down- Selena Gomez

What can I say about this one, Get your dancing shoes on and hit the floor!

"Now that I have captured your attention
I want to steal you for a rhythm intervention
Mr. T, you say I'm ready for inspection
Show me how you make a first impression

Oh, oh
Can we take it nice and slow, slow
Break it down and drop it low, low
Cause I just wanna party all night in the neon lights 'til you can't let me go

I just wanna feel your body right next to mine
All night long
Baby, slow down the song
And when it's coming closer to the end hit rewind
All night long
Baby, slow down the song...

Five amazing Love songs.. :)

Love, what an amazing thing to fall in, right?

If it’s just a crush or eternal love, there is song for both.

Here are a few:

1. You secretly like this person, not sure you should tell them or not, this song say’s just that baby!

Falling for you- Colbie Caillat.

"

I don't know but I think I maybe
Fallin' for you dropping so quickly
Maybe I should keep this to myself
Waiting 'til I know you better

I am trying not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you....

....."

2. You have a crush that is oh-so-strong! You definitely should listen to this track.
Thanks to Neelaksh who introduced to this lovely song. :)

Crush- David Archuleta.

"

I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside it was a rush, what a rush

Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way
About me, is just too much, just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it really just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
Cause I've tried and tried to walk away
But I know this crush aint going away-ay-ay
Going away-ay-ay...

......."

3. There is this girl that you are crazy for and every time you see her your heart skips a beat.
You never want to let her go and there is no end to your love.
Feel something similar? This song is just for you.

Breathless- Shane Ward.

"If our love was a fairy tale
I would charge in and rescue you
On a yacht baby we would sail
To an island where we'd say I do

And if we had babies they would look like you
It'd be so beautiful if that came true
You don't even know how very special you are

You leave me breathless
You're everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can't believe that you're mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you're leaving me
Breathless...

....."

4. Whatever is keeping you away from your love, be it the long-distance or your work.
This is your song.

Vanilla twilight- Owl City

"The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were here

I'll watch the night turn light blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
The silence isn't so bad
'Till I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone
But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist deep in thought because when
I think of you I don't feel so alone

I don't feel so alone
I don't feel so alone

As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight..

....."

5. You two are insanely in love and you can see it clearly that you are soul mates.
Sing this to each other and never let your love die.

Next to you- Conor Maynard feat Ebony Day.

"

You've got that smile,
That only heaven can make.
I pray to God everyday,
That you keep that smile.

Yeah, you are my dream,
There’s not a thing I won’t do.
I’ll give my life up for you,
Cause you are my dream.

And baby, everything that I have is yours,
You’ll never go cold or hungry.
I’ll be there when you’re insecure,
Let you know that you’re always lovely....

.... ..."

This is it, for now.

 

Thankyou aksh for being the inspiration for this. ^_^

Keep smiling and keep loving. :)

If you have any favorites, share them with us too.

Have a good day.

Homemade body scrub! For all skin types. (with pictures)

We often scrub our face, but pay very little or no attention to our body.
Just like our face it is important to scrub away the dead skin cells of our body as well.

When we scrub our body, it removes all the dead skin cells that block the new skin cells to reach the surface of our skin. This is the reason why it is so important to scrub your body at least once a week.
Scrubbing also allows skin to absorb the products that you use, better.

Now that we know why scrubbing is so important, here are two different recipes to make your own body scrub with the ingredients easily available in your kitchen.

The olive oil and honey scrub:
This scrub is for people who suffer from dry skin.
This scrub will provide nourishment to your skin, along with scrubbing away the unwanted dead skin cells gently.

Things you will need to make the scrub:
• 2 table spoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon of honey, and
• 5-6 spoons of granulated sugar.

Image

How to make the scrub:
• In a mixing bowl add two table spoons of extra virgin olive oil.

Image

• Now add honey to this, you can alter the ratio of honey and oil according to your own liking.

Image

Image
• At last add granulated sugar to this mixture until it forms a thick paste.

Image

Image

Mix well. 

Image

Image

This is how it looks:

Image

You can easily make a large batch by multiplying the amount and store it in a container. This will stay good to use for a complete month.

This is my favorite scrub of all times. 
Remember that the olive oil and the honey together can be extremely moisturizing, So if you have normal or oily skin use lemon instead of olive oil.
I personally use lemon juice.
......................................................................................................................................................................................................
The second recipe is a great way to use some unused creams and moisturizers that are just lying around your home to make amazing homemade body scrub.

The Body lotion scrub:

For this scrub you can use any cream or body lotion or moisturizer that you don’t use or don’t mind making a body scrub out of it.

Things you will need to make the scrub:
• Any moisturizer or cream or lotion of your choice, and
• Enough Sea salt to make a thick paste.

How to make the scrub:
• Take one-fourth cup of lotion, or according to your requirement.

Image

Image
• Then add enough sea salt to make a thick paste like consistency and mix well.

Image

Image
As easy as this scrub looks, it is a good way to empty those unused bottles and provide extra nourishment to the body.

The best thing about this scrub is that if your moisturizer or lotion has a nice fragrance, you will be smelling good all day long. :)
Scrub your body every week or once a fortnight to keep it healthy and radiant!
And the best thing about this scrubs are that they are inexpensive.
Have fun scrubbing!

Until next time! :)

Aspirin/Disprin mask for: Clear Skin, Clean Pores, Curing Acne & Much More! (With pictures)

When I first got to know that aspirin and disprin, apart from being consumed internally can also be used on The Face, I have to admit that I did not believe it at all.
I spent weeks researching whether this was for real or not!
After spending several days and nights reading about the safety of this mask, I finally decided to give it a try.
Before moving on how to make the mask, let me tell you why this thing works.

How does aspirin or disprin cure acne?
Aspirin and Disprin both consist of Salicylic acid.
Salicylic acid unclogs pores and increases cell turnover.
It penetrates deep inside pores and exfoliates them and unclogs the residue that causes acne.
And even if you don’t have acne, this will clean the pores to its very end.

Remember:
When you go to buy aspirin make sure that it is the uncoated one, because coated one won’t work.
The reason is that coated aspirin has a layer over it, that does not dissolve.
This is a coated aspirin:

Image

The colour varies depending on each company.
I dissolved this one in water for 15 minutes, and the skin became soft enough to peel off:

Image

Image

LOL! i salvaged the pill.

Once, the skin is soft it's easy to peel it off.

Image

Image

After peeling the skin off.
Now this is the uncoated aspirin, if you want you can use this as well, but uncoated one is easily available as well.

Also, remember that there are different mgs of aspirin available in the market, if you have sensitive skin start with the lowest one available.

Method of preparation of the mask:

You Need:
• 2-3 tablets of aspirin or disprin, depending on the area that you want to apply this to.

Image

Disprin.

Image

Aspirin.

• A few drops of honey
• A few drops of clean water.
• A plate/bowl.

How to make this mask:
• Place the tablets in the plate or palm, like so:

Image

OR

Image
• Now, add a few drops of water to it

Image
• I am using disprin here because I couldn't find aspirin.
• Once, it soaks all the water and starts rising up. This is how it looks:

Image

Image

add few drops of honey.

Image

Image
• Mix well and apply on the entire face or just a patch, whatever you want.
• Once it dries, wash off with Luke warm water.
• Apply moisturizer, and you are done.

Image

Some Important points to keep in mind:
• Avoid going out in the sun after using this mask, as your skin will be more sensitive. The best time to use this mask is in the evening or at night.
• If you have sensitive skin, use it on a simple patch instead of the entire face to check out if this is okay for you.
• Use as low mg of aspirin as possible, the first time.
• Remember the effect of the mask is entirely on how strong the tablet is i.e. the stronger the aspirin the quick the results.
• This mask can be very drying, that is why we have added honey to it, so make sure that you don’t overdo this.
• Do not use this more than once or twice a week.

If you still have any questions, just leave them in the comments down below.

I hope you give this a try and let me know the results.
Thank you for reading.

Ciao! :)

Review: Park Avenue Beer Shampoo (for bouncy, shiny and voluminous hair)

Review: Park Avenue beer shampoo


Price: Rs. 160 for 200ml

Yes, you read right! Beer it is.

Beer is really good for hair. It gives volume and shine to hair instantly.

A lot of models and actresses use ‘pure drinking beer’ to rinse their hair and need I say how gorgeous their hair is!

Image

But it’s not possible for many girls to rinse their hair with beer, every time they wash it (Especially me!).

Why not!?

For starters it will be too expensive.

Plus if you are below 18, it will be sooo hard for you to be able to convince the shopkeeper that you are not an alcoholic but want it to rinse your hair! *WHAT!*

So, if we could get a shampoo with all the good qualities of a beer and it won’t also be a bomb in our pockets, then why not give it a try!

To be true I had no idea that “Beer Shampoo” exists, but I am happy they do! ;)

I found this shampoo in my nearby store and immediately bought it!

This is what the bottle looks like:


Image


(Sorry but i don't know why all the pictures are tilted)

What does the packaging on the shampoo says:


‘Made from real beer’

Image

“This shampoo contains real beer which is famed to have excellent conditioning properties. Use Park Avenue Beer Shampoo regularly to leave your hair bouncy, shiny and full of volume”

Image

Ingredients: Aqua, Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate, Beer, Dimethiconol (and) TEA Dodecylbenzenesulfonate (and) Laureth-23, Cocoamidopropyl Polyquaternium-10, Guar HydroxyPropyltrimonium Chloride, Bis( C13-15 Alkoxy) PG Amodimethicone, Methychloroisothiazolinone & Methylisothiazolinone, Benzophenone-4, Tetra sodium Edta, Citric acid, Diethyl phthalate, C.I 15985, C.I 19140

Alcohol content: 0.25% w/v Diethyl Phthalate.?
Okay, be honest!

How many of you skipped reading the above ingredient part? :p

Net quantity: 200 ml

MRP  Rs.160 (INR)

My experience with this shampoo:


As you can see the bottle does exactly look like beer, BUT it also smells like beer!

My bottle is almost half now, which means I have used it quite a lot.

My hair is straight, which is why it looks like it doesn’t have a lot of volume.

So this shampoo did give me volume and even though it smells like beer the smell went away once my hair was dry.

I don’t use conditioner or any fancy hair mask, so it does make your hair feel soft without using anything else.

Another thing about this shampoo is that it doesn’t lather a lot like some shampoos, which is a good thing because this shows that it has less harmful chemicals in it! Yayyy!!

Verdict:


I also made my mum try this and even she liked it, her hair has more volume now, and even one of friends complimented me saying that my hair look more voluminous than before.

I would definitely recommend this to any girl or boy who wants to add volume and shine to their hair.

I am going to leave few pictures of my hair, right after I used it (dry hair of course because wet won’t show any results) to show you guys the results better.

Also, I need help on which article I should write first:

  • Heat-less hair waves using absolutely nothing!

  • Summer tips to keep odor and sweat away from your body and face!

  • Fun DIY to use any old lotion/ body cream/ face moisturizer to make an exfoliator!

  • Simple face mask to kill any zit in a day!


The reason why I am asking for help is because it will take me at least 2-3 days to write one article and I want to post what you guys prefer first.

These are the four options, leave the suggestion in the comments or tweet it @Cbeautieshubhi

I would love to talk to you guys here, through comments or through twitter.

You have no idea how even one positive comment from you guys inspires me to do more and more.

♥ Take care lovelies! ♥ :)

Beautiful hair therapy at home! (Very easy)

Summer season is here, well almost;
which reminds me, have you noticed how your hair become healthier in summers as compared to winters?

Do you know why?

Well i am no scientist, but my brain came up with this reason (that i believe is true) :

You know how the pores on our skin and scalp open up when they come in contact with anything warm/hot, and close with contact of cold thing?

So, in summers our pores open up due the heat in the air around us and vice-versa in winters. Which means whatever you apply to your skin or hair will absorb better. Great, right?

Hence, summer is the best time to give your hair the much needed therapy after harsh winters. I am not going to share fancy hair treatments in this post (there will be another post on it when i get over with my exams) but i am gonna share few oil treatments which are already in your kitchen, to get healthy hair.

1. Coconut oil rejuvenating treatment: Dry, dull, damaged, over processed, heat damaged, frizzy curls, you name it! Coconut oil is the solution to all your problems girls and boys. Coconut oil is the only oil that penetrates the deepest in your skin and hair super easily. It helps retain the natural protein of hair hence making it more healthier.

Treatment method:

• Simply take one or two spoons of coconut oil ( virgin or simple, both are good).

• Massage the oil into your hair. Don't use nails on the scalp ever, it will damage the skin and may cause dandruff as well, which is nothing but the peeled skin of the scalp.

•Massage using your fingertips and cover up with shower cap to trap the heat (If you don't have one use a normal plastic bag to cover up or even a hot towel).

• Let this sit for atleast 20-30 minutes or overnight if you can.

• Wash off normally, make sure all the oil is out though. You should see results after the first or second time of using this.

2. Olive oil treatment: Being rich in vitamin E this oil makes a great mask for dry and damaged hair.

Treatment method:

•Apply as much oil as required according to the length of your hair.
• Leave on for 20-30 minutes or one hour. Cover with a shower cap/plastic bag/hot towel.
• Wash off normally.

Tips and other information:

1. You can use both the hair treatment on dry or damp hair. Try out both to see what works best for you. :)

2. Massage atleast for two minutes to help your hair absorb better.

3. Dont massage vigorously, use you fingertips and massage gently.

4. Olive oil may weigh down your hair, it depends on your hair type. In this case mix half amount of coconut oil and half amount of olive oil and use this.

5. Actually anyone can use this. Just mix equal quantity of both the oils and use. This way you will get benefits of both the oil at the same time.

6. Its very important that whatever treatment you use homemade or any product, focus on the tips and ends of your hair as they are the most damaged and damage-prone part.

How To Wash Hair The Correct Way:

•Start by soaking you hair fully with lukewarm water ( yes, even in summers) This will actually open the pores and the dirt trapped in will be shampooed fully.

•Always make sure the last rinse is done with cold water, be it after shampoo or conditioner. This will close the pores and the goodness of shampoo, conditioner or any product that you used will be trapped in.

•Lastly, the most important tip is to let your hair dry naturally.
No rubbing towel on hair roughly or blow drying.

Happy healthy hair sugar's!

I am off to bed now.

Night! :)

NEW TONY MOLY SHOP OPENED IN TOWN, MY RANDOM POST

NEW TONY MOLY SHOP OPENED IN TOWN, My random post


by: http://genibelleza.blogspot.in

Recently, there's a new Tony Moly shop opened in Phnom Penh and it has a 30% discount.So I got my self something like a backstage gel eyeliner,cat wink primer,party lover cake eyebrow,tangerine whitening hand cream and 2 free foam cleanser samples.The eyeliner is brown and it is waterproof. I chose brown because I have only one brown pencil eyeliner. The waterproof property is great, I tried rubbing it with water, but it didn't fade much.









Please don't mind my nails !!











the visible lines are the ones that i tried at home to show you guys how it really looks like and the faded lines are the ones that at tried at the shop. it is faded because i washed my hands with soap.

I've never had eyebrow set before that's why I think I should buy one. Usually I use my Face Shop matt brown eyeshadow or my eyebrow pencils. It comes in 2 color ,light brown and dark brown, plus I love the case ,it is just cool and cute at the same time.









Party Lover Cake Eyebrow

The last one is hand cream. The package is orange sharp just like the name. It comes in 2 smell, the other one is peach,of course with peach sharp package. The smell and texture are exactly like my misha mango body butter that I got from Japan.









Tangerine Whitening Hand Cream

The primer becomes powdery as I apply on my face. I will do review on this primer and the other one I'm using right now ( from the Face Shop).

DIY: Off-shoulder top! (No stitching or extra skill required)

DIY off-shoulder top: Image We all have some T-shirts that we never wear or don't like, or a t-shirt that we like so much that we almost wear it everyday and when it starts getting old and loose it's charm we feel heart-broken, maybe! :) Today I will share a simple method with you that you can do and transform any t-shirt to a classy off the shoulder top with nothing but a pair of scissor. Sounds good right? I tried this on two of my t-shirt and failed in the first try, but the second one turned out great! But I forgot to take pictures both the times and was left with no choice but to use this old blue t-shirt that i absolutely hate! And yeah the picture quality is really bad so sorry about that in advance. Lets begin now! :) (P.S: Read the tips given down below for sure, because I will tell some very important points there.) Things you will need:

  • Any scissor that will cut through the fabric easily, almost any sharp scissor will.


Image

  • Any t-shirt that you want to convert into off the shoulder top.


Method:

  • Lay the t-shirt on a flat surface, in my case bed. Grab your scissor.


Image (See how bad this t-shirt is! Now yo know why I don't like it! :/)

  • It's your choice which side you want to the top to go off-shoulder. I have chosen left side.

  • Make a small cut near the neck of the top to the side which you want to be on the shoulder which in my case is right side,


Image

  • Notice how I made the cut very close to the stitching of the neck on the side which I want to be on my shoulder (right side).


Image

  • Now make the cut on the other side, which will be our off the shoulder side. But this time make the cut a little away from the neck, like so:


Image (P.S: See the tips below to know how far should you make the cut)

  • Start cutting the neck from the right side (on the shoulder side), but be very close to the stitch.


Image (Bad picture quality, yes!:( *sigh* )

  • Cut all the way, but stop a few inches before reaching the end.


ggggggggggggggg

  • Now cut in the direction of the arrow, this time keep it a little away from the neck's stitch.8

  • Once the whole neck is separated stretch the shirt from the neck to loosen the fabric and give it a rusty look.


9

  • I have used a full-sleeve t-shirt here so i cut the arms as well. If you are using half one skip this step.


10

  • Now your Very self made off the shoulder top is ready to wear.

  • This is what mine looked like:


11 Tips:

  • You can use any t-shirt, full sleeves or half sleeves.

  • Do NOT make the cut too far away from neck to the off-shoulder side.

  • See the fabric of your shirt Before making the cut.

  • If the cloth is thin, like mine do not keep the distance long or it will become off the hand top. Lol. Okay maybe i exaggerated. :D


Best idea is to first cut the whole neck close to it's stitching and then you can alter the off shoulder side according to your liking. Is this confusing? :/ Okay so I did my best to make this tutorial as simple as i could.   Hope you give this a try. If you have any questions leave a comment down below and i will reply to them instantly! Until next time lovelies! :) Few more pictures of the shirt: The sleeves: DSC01613 Sleeves again: DSC01615 You can even talk to me on twitter here: @Cbeautieshubhi If you want any information on anything let me know. :)
