Tips & Tricks Thursday- Stronger Nails

Hi loves, 


             Hope you all are doing great. I cant believe another week is coming to an end. This weeks tips & tricks i will be talking about how to get stronger nails by using garlic, yes you read right garlic for stronger nails. 

Garlic is very handy and it can be used in many recipes. Its a great antioxidant and if taken for long period it is said to reduce cholesterol.


So the way to achieve strong finger nails is to add garlic, regularly to your food, its that simple. You would see a difference in your nails within a month. I used to have brittle thin nail and since ive added garlic to my meals my nails have drastically changed. 


Another way to achieve strong nails, is to chop garlic and put it in your nail polish or your top coat and let it sit for about a week and your polish or top coat has become a strengthener. 


If you done wear polish you can just apply the juice of the polish on to your nails everyday.

               The will be no tutorial today i will be uploading it tomorrow, so today i thought i would write my wish list of make up that i would love to own someday. There is always something in the market that is interesting or exciting but you always end up emptying out your wallet, so its better to make a wish list and save up. 

so let me share my list with you

1. Inglot Power Of Matte pallets 

2. Real Techniques Complete Brush Set.

3. Beauty Blender

4. Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr Cream Gel Eye shadow

5. l'oreal infallible eyeshadow

6. Inglot Rainbow Eye shadows

7. Make up forever HD foundation

8. Urban Decay setting spray

9. Urban Decay eye shadows

Well this is my list, I know its long and i want to expand my make up collection and it is going to be expensive but it requires a lot of saving up since here in Malaysia every thing is 3 times the actual price, which sucks..  

What do you guys think of my wish list? Do you have a make up wish list? be sure to share it with me in the comments below..

DIY Make-Up Storage

Hi loves, 


             Hope you all are doing great. Today i have an easy DIY make-up storage, its simple and can fit into drawers and you can take it with you when you travel. 


Things you will need:


- A cloth pouch 
- few pieces of sturdy card


1. Take any cloth pouch you have laying around.

2. Unzip the pouch & and fold it to your desired height.

3. Then take a sturdy card and cut it, this will be the base for your pouch, I cut mine 10 cm height and 20 cm in length.  

4. Check if it fits and place it at the bottom.

5. Check to see if you like the shape of the pouch

6. Then cut up strips for partitions. 

7. Then arrange your make up the way you like. I've stored eye shadows, foundations and small pallets 

And wolla you have your very own make-up storage. This would be perfect if your staying in dorms, or have very little space to store your make up. And also if you add sturdy card to the sides you can zip up the pouch and its ready for travel. 

What did you think of this DIY project? Did you find it helpful? Let me know what you think in the comments below. Also let me know what you do to organise your make up. Hope you enjoyed this easy to do project. 

Until next time....

Review Monday- TRUE COLOR Eyeshadow Quad In Purple Haze

hi loves,


Hope you all are having a lovely Monday. This week i will be reviewing TRUE COLOUR Eye shadow Quad In Purple Haze. I got this when pallet when i was in Saudi Arabia, if you want to check out my haul click here. 


So lets get on with the review,

My thoughts


The quad comes in a beautiful black case and has a mirror and a sponge tip applicator, also its perfect for travel since its small and the case is sturdy. The quad comes with four coordinating colours, a pale silvery pink, lilac, a deep purple and a charcoal grey in round pans which you can use to create day or night look. 

                                   

They go on silky smooth, the shadows are very pigmented and is buildable and can be blended really easily. The colours are deep and great for a smoky eye. Although the lightest colours kind of look sickly on darker skin tones unless you wear them properly. I wore this wore this quad for about 10 hours and i have fairly oily lids and the colours did not crease or fade, which makes them long wearing.


In a nutshell:


Pros
- glides on easily
- very pigmented
- bendable 
- easy to travel with
- Long wearing
- does not crease
- buildable
- does not fade


Cons
- the lighter colours might look sickly on dark skin tones


I would rate this product 10/10


I would recommend everyone to buy these pallets, i know i certainly will buy the other quads.


This quad retails for about Rm 28 / SAR 30


what do you guys think of this weeks review? Have you tried any of the avon quads? What do you think of it? Let me know what you think in the comments below. If you liked this post be sure to share it the lins are below.
