Anarkali Churidar....
Anarkali Churidar....
Anarkali churidar suits have come in and out of fashion, so lets take a closer look into this re-emerging trend! Anarkali is an Indian word coming from the mogul period. The top of an anarkali sits slightly below the knee and the bottom half of the top is a flaired skirt that extends from the waist until below the knee. The waist area is usually cinched just below the bust area to create a flattering silhouette. Since the top is so full, the anarkali churidar suit top is usually worn with churidar bottoms. This outfits suits both thin as well as oversize women. Everyone is embracing the anarkali suits right from bollywood stars to the college going girls..they are everywhere !!!!!
Here are some of Bollywood celebs wearing Anarkali....
Homemade Facial Scrub

Homemade Facial Scrub
Hi all,
Today I am going to share some easy and homemade recipes for Facial Scrubs.
Facial scrubs are great for polishing the skin and helping to remove dead skin cells that causes blemishes and blackheads. Getting rid of blackhead is not a overnight process.By regularly exfoliating with a great facial scrub, you can help to get rid of them, while also preventing acne from developing. I love to use homemade facial scrubs as they are purely natural and their ingredients are readily available at our home. And these scrubs make skin look more glowing with radiant complexion.
Homemade Scrub for Dry Skin
This is an excellent facial scrub to use if you have sensitive or dry skin.It is gentle enough to use regularly for unclogging pores, and it combines nourishing, moisturizing ingredients to soften while exfoliating. First take 1Tbsp of Oats. Coarsely crush them.Now mix oats, 1 teaspoon of milk and one teaspoon of honey. Mix well. Gently wash your face with warm water to open pores. Rub the mixture onto the skin with your fingertips, scrubbing gently in a circular motion.Once Scrubbing is done clean your face with warm water.
Tomato and Rice Scrub for Oily Skin
Another great homemade facial scrub for getting rid of blackheads combines ground rice to exfoliate the skin with tomato to cleanse pores. Tomatoes are also a natural source of alpha hydroxy acids, which encourage more dead skin cells to be released and washed away with your exfoliation.
Orange Scrub For Normal Skin
This is a very simple and quick Scrub for normal skin.
Dry the Skin of Oranges in Sun. Then Grind them in mixer. Take 1 Tbsp of Orange powder, add 1 tsp of fresh cream. Mix well and scrub gently in circular motion on your face and neck.
Important thing to remember while using Scrubs
Before using your homemade scrub, open pores with warm water. Splash warm water on the face several times or use a warm wet washcloth. You only need to scrub gently to keep your pores unclogged. While mild, nourishing scrubs may be gentle enough for everyday use, be careful not to wear away the skin. You can use this scrub twice or thrice a week.

LAKME LIPSTICK IN N119
Next post
Hello Everyone !!!
Today I am going to talk about a perfect nude lipstick in Lakme N 119 NARENDRA KUMAR( he is a fashion designer in india).
In my childhood days I use to feel that their is only one brand of lipstick in this whole world and that is Lakme,because everyone around me use to wear only lakme lipsticks in those days.How funny was that? We were not allowed to wear lipstick as a children ,accept for school functions. So Lakme is an eternal and nostalgic brand for me and i am sure for many of you. Ok..so coming to this lipstick n119, i got this lipstick as a gift and at the first I just did not like this shade,it was kept in my drawer for almost a year untouched. Untill the whole nude shade fashion was inn.So this was the time to try on it, and it looked amazing on me,I top this lipstick with the lipgloss and now i used this one the most..So thought of sharing it with you all..Here are the pics and swatch of this lipstick..
Price- It was gifted so not sure of it.
My views-
Plus points-
1. Good pigmentation
2. Staying power is 2-3 hours
3. packaging is same, nothing new.
negative points-
1.It is not enough moisturising. It leaves the lips looking dry if you not apply lipgloss on top of it.
My rating- 3/5

From many days i wanted a nice coral shade lipstick as this colour is in fashion this summer.

But then I found a nice subtle coral colour in Maybeline Colorsensational in no. 440 Coral Fire. Dont go by the name , its quite subtle coral :)
