PRODUCT REVIEW: Ryaal Black Mess Mask,Scrub and Cleanser

In this review, am gonna reveal about a newly launched product by the brand Ryaal which is based in New Delhi and known for its essential oils. I already had good thoughts about it honestly cause this brand has some good name among beautygurus. And this product is the particular one which claims to be 3 in 1, yes you read it right: it can be used as
Cleanser
Scrubber
Or a Mask itself!

Tag Line: I am a mess myself  but I promise to leave your skin mess free

Now coming back to the product, Ryaal Black Mess Mask,Scrub and Cleanser
has a sleek and quite attractive black packaging which comes in a plastic tub form with a lid. Even though I expected the tub to be at-lest medium in size but its size small if you ask me. The product is quite heavy so I won't travel with the whole tub jar.
It took a good time to reach to me which I don't like.

INGREDIENTS: 

Now coming back to the ingredient list starting from glycerine to kaolin clay every element was organic. Activated charcoal pulls out the toxins from skin along with dead cells leaving skin more bright. Whereas elements like kaolin clay, fullers earth,Morocco's lava clay (also known as rhassoul mud) has high healing properties which can absorb excessive oils leaving smooth skin. Other essential oils such as tea tree oil and peppermint oil calms the skin with antibacterial properties. Aloe Vera extract and glycerine provides hydration to the skin making it safe for dry and sensitive skin. Other ingredients like organic dead sea mud, sucrose, shell powder are great natural exfoliating agents.

It has been launched at the price of Rs.499/- INR for 125g which is Okay cause you need really a small amount to cover your face.It has a shelf life of 24 months.

HOW TO USE:

Scoop out some product in a clean bowl with the help of a spatula and mix some water/ rose water/ milk to form a paste. Apply evenly leaving out your eye and mouth area. Gently scrub after the paste is semi damn. Wash away with cold water.

COMPANY CLAIMS:

Now the product claims to be (follow the pic below ) 3 in 1 being a cleanser to scrubber to mask with directed instructions on it.
Scoop out some product in a clean bowl with the help of a spatula and mix some water/ rose water/ milk to form a paste. Apply evenly leaving out your eye and mouth area. Gently scrub after the paste is semi damn. Wash away with cold water.

PROS: 

• Available in Amazon.in and Ryaal cosmetic's official website itself
• Affordable
• Attractive packaging
• A little product goes a long way
• Can be used as a cleanser,exfoliator or mask
• Organic ingredients
• Best for combination to dry skin
• Smooths the skin texture
• Instant brightness

CONS: 

• Heavy hence not at all travel friendly
• Tub packaging can be hygienic
• Availability can be little difficult other than online portal
• Dry skin may need proper moisturisation after using
• Can be little messy

FINAL VERDICT:

My Experience with the product would rate this 4 out 5 cause during usage I did notice some progress over my skin texture and also much more it had great effect on my mom who was looking for an easy anti aging routine as the ingredients also fight cellulite. It can be used on body as well so honestly even more than my face I liked the result on my body.it did smooth out the texture of my back to an extend as I had backacne which has left some scars over. Usually we ignore our body as much as we would focus on our face but I think it can be great dupe for one of my favorite brand, Lush cosmetics dark angels, and at a affordable and accessible way as Lush is not available in India. but Ryaal is equally vegan and organic handmade cosmetic brand so I will switch to Ryaal for the great effect in a pocket friendly rate.

WILL I RECOMMEND IT:  Yes for dull to oily skin I highly recommend as well as for others looking for detoxification of skin should try this.

Everyday go-to 3 lipcreme under INR 200 ( Honest Review)

Its not even a typical review, rather something I always wanted to share about. Everyone needs a shade on their lips just to add the cheery to the pie.

Miss Claire is a brand which has one of the hyped soft matte lip creme range. If you are someone looking for matte lipstick but without the drying then go for this brand.or if you're someone trying the liquid lipstick as influenced by Huda Khatan, Kylie Jenner, and who on earth is not into liquid lipsticks, I would suggest Miss Claire in that case if you're unsure how it will turn out on you or you're on a budget(hey you need right products to look beautiful rather than just overpriced hyped items).

These are the 3 best shades that I personally selected from the brand Miss Claire.

37(blood red), 58( soft nude),10 (cherry red)

Lets start with the shade No.37, which is  matte blood red in color. Its apt for every skintone from light to medium to dark. A pop of this red can jazz up your everyday ottd to a kick start level.Red lips never go out of style (Taylor Swift)

Next is the shade No.58 which is matte pinkish nude in color. It is one of the common shade for my go to routine because its a perfect balance of pink and brown. It gives a subtle look. You can use it for your no makeup to light makeup days to timed when you don't wanna look over the top yet pretty by the lips. Its a great shade to pair up with a loud or vibrant or smokey eyes to balance up the whole look. You can wear it to college or casual outing or 1st date even. 

Last shade is in the the No.10 which is a dark cherry red in color. I have kept this for my experimental and rebel mood when i wanna go loud yet bit feminine. Its one gothic red color best with nude to peachy light eye or face makeup. Pair it up with your LBD to spice up your event without doing much.how about that?

Down below are the swatches of these 3 beautiful shades which is perfect for everyday on any skintone or undertone.

58(Bottom), 37(Middle),10(Top)

Honestly, I have been loyal to these soft matte lip creme on a daily basis. Why?
●Its smooth on application.
● It can be a dupe for body shop lip creme.
● It doesn't dry out my chappy lips but so matte.
●It stays upto 5 hours without any touch up (including meals, obviously try to feed your mouth not the lips).
●Its so affordable(its INR 195 can you believe).
●travel friendly packaging.
●long shelf life a.k.a not drying.


But one and only problem it carries all the way is its availability. Since its a polish cosmetic brand, you might not find it everywhere in counters or online. I would not recommend buying it online because the prices are double. If you're someone okay with that can get your shade from Amazon, purplle,shopclues and habbana.

I collect my miss claire products from counters for which it requires me to place a prepaid order. I will be blogging next about places where you can get miss claire exclusively in kolkata, Mumbai, delhi, chennai, Hyderabad, bangalore and Assam. Stay glued to know more about it.

Shallots For Haircare? YES

Yes you heard it write.am talking about ingredients like shallots, a common, day to day ingredient which is nowhere near to the expense of you entire haircare products that you have been using till now.
While you have been busy getting parlour treatments and rounds at dermatologist,I have got you covered with some easy haircare information which is not only going to help you with your existing hair issues but also simple ideas to enhance your hair condition.
Lets be honest, one of the major problem faced by both men and women regarding is baldspot. It can  be due to hereditary, stress, lack of sleep, lack of fiber, and the list goes on. another crucial reason can be usage of hair products, hair accessories or unfavorable or too tight hairstyles along with harsh chemicals and heat ( we all are guilty here).

WHY SHALLOTS ?

Shallots promote hair growth.. It is high in sulfur content,  which can improve your bloodcirculation strengthening the hair resulting in low hair fall.
Shallots induces  the growth of new hair, treating baldspots ( make sure your pores on scalp of your baldspot is not dead or sleeping pore can never grow new hair).
Shallots can also help in case of fungal infections on scalp which gives way to dandruff, breakouts,itchiness and even smelly hair.it helps to open up the clogged pores of the hair follicles it keeps dandruff away.

HOW TO USE?

For Baldspots:

Peel up some fresh and clean shallots. Make a paste of the shallots to exact the juice. Apply the juice on your bald-spot using your fingers or a cotton pad and leave it for 20-30 minutes. Wash it off thoroughly with your regular shampoo, I personally would suggest that go for two round of cleansing so that the smell and residue can go ( these would be the residue since all the goodness would be absorbed by the scalp)
If you're someone with dry hair or hair prone to breakage or damage or treated then you can use shallots juice mixed with coconut oil of 1:1 ratio and massage it for 10 mins before leaving it to dry followed by cleansing through shampoo.

For smooth and healthy hair:

Peel up some fresh and clean shallots. Make a paste of the shallots to exact the juice. Mix shallot juice with buttermilk or regular milk of your choice.  For addition, you can add an egg or a ripe avocado. Make a smooth paste and apply on your hair section wise starting from root to ends thoroughly. Let it dry from 20-30 minutes. Wash it off  with shampoo.

For fungal infection/dandruff:

Peel up some fresh and clean shallots. Make a paste of the shallots to exact the juice. Mix lemon juice with onion juice and yogurt for thickness to hold the paste with the ratio of 1:1:2 respectively. Apply the paste concentrating on the roots of the hair follicles majorly. Let it dry for 20-30 minutes and wash it off thoroughly with an anti-dandruff shampoo.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FOR BEST RESULTS:

-Its not a magic, spare some time of 3-4 weeks to notice visible results.
-For best results apply 3 times a week according to the intensity of your issue.
-Avoid harming your face and eyes.
-Consult before usage.
-It is important to consider how same product might not work equally for all. we all are differently crafted by the almighty. give it some time, have patience.
-It is important to consider other things such as lifestyle, habit, etc for more effective result.
-The most important thing is to accept yourself and others, the way they are rather constantly trying to focus on outer beauty. your body gives out what you give in, so proper nutrition, sleep, hydration as well as mental health is crucial.
- And lastly we all are beautiful.

REVIEW: Mond's Sub crystal collagen gold eye mask

This is my very 1st time using an eye mask so honestly i was pretty excited about it. The hype about sheet mask is nothing new so giving eye mask a try was another awesome thing for me. Basically it was sent to me with a blogger discount, well thanks to Mond'sSub In.

Front side

Back side

COMPANY CLAIMS :-

- Formulated with pure gold, bio-ingredients and active elements which instantly moisturizes,re hydrates, and regenerates your eye area. This gold bio collagen eye mask can effectively relieves chronic fatigue and diminishes the formulation of fine lines, wrinkles, crow feet lines around the eye area, minimizes eye bags and fades dark circles remarkably.

So now coming back to the product:-
It costs 100 for each packet containing a pair of eye mask filled up with loads of essence (trust me , enough for your entire face)
packaging was good with a plastic case.
A clear instruction was provided at the back of the casing in case if someone is new to eye mask.
All the ingredient list was mentioned with labels in English (now it is really important to know what components you're putting on your skin)
the pair of eye sheet comes in a collagen formula and very gentle for your eye area.
My advice would be to refrigerate it and no freeze it to provide that cooling sensation while it will take care of your dark circles along with puffiness.
It should be used for once and all; not more than that.
Easily available on amazon but I recommend placing order at www.mondsub.in/



FINAL VERDICT:
It is one of the cheapest eye mask available India. I don't have panda eyes but the mask was enough for my puffiness and felt refreshing and hydrating at the same time. The essence was quickly absorbed on the skin with no sign of further irritation or breakout. It is one good way to pamper your self on the go. With all that good feedback am excited to review a full face mask from MondSub as well. Stay tune for the next review.

Beginning ? or end?

It takes alot to open up when you have been shut all your life, well mostly. From each cell of your living body to the entire blood and bone starts responding in an unknown way. We do live,laugh,love but what do you do when you come home looking all tired? You search for bed but eyes just don't rest.
Its not about loneliness or depression. Its about being off field, off the grass, off the mainstream, to be covered by people all around and not being able to breathe. ( may be I exaggerated too bit)
I will tell you about a girl who came across this person all suited booted upright, lets face it not in real life;  virtual sight. Started from a query which she thought could be answered by him only; little did she know was that she won't be able to ever question him in time. Strangers to strangers, she met someone miles apart and kilometres never felt that hard ( honestly). A good listener. She was looking for an escape, her own wishing well (sorted). No judgment was ever made (from both of them) people did had alot to say, faith was restored. Friends to friends, it was a great journey to the one person who talked to that man all night after night. Topics covering mountains, lust , pathetic brains she felt renew again. It was 4 a.m, he kept on laughing, making fun of each other , deep down aware, she will be screwed again.She pulled the brakes so tight and held all the handgrip. It was the night when he informed of his arrival and she performed well by acting like it was all right.But then they had to meet in their city for once and all, and when they did, a short, tanned, girl was staring shamelessly to a guy waiting for her. From bars to bars, its a history how she managed a drink with him at one of her old school pub with a schedule to catch up a ghost; which never really happened and ended up in toilet ( lets not go into details). Little did she notice that he had his keen vision on her every move ( her every sip to her dry lips) and they began meeting more than they were suppose to. She fell something so different,a sense of security when he hugged her to the utmost comfort when she was breaking-staining, her heartbeat was racing- drifting. She never understood why things kept on going weird when they were out, like she not being well yet completely concealing all those facts out. She had her shield, a warrior in complete, he came so close and didn't even dare to touch anything. How can I not mention how he really showed up in 7am time; with breakfast on bread butter and poached egg, he was her entire time (and chicken) rest was his exceptional mind. Blessed be the bunked college classes of her last year university for she got chance to see where he resides. She had some advices on her mind and initiated for the 1st time. And there's more to the awesome bike ride. How he managed to pain his balls(pardon the language) riding her the whole town and taking her places,so many at once. And there were times when she stood under a shanty shade while motherearth pouring down, she was waiting just to meet him for once again. But how can I miss about the day she pretended to be the man and walk holding his waist,walking upto 3Kms on heels while almost dying of cardiac arrest to cross the busy bee humongous street(seriously).  LOL to her schedule throughout this whole time. It will be remembered how they sipped the last tea together and held hands for the last time. How she couldn't sleep the night, when he was suppose to leave at the sunrise. She will wave him goodbye for sure, but what is good in goodbyes? But he has to go, staying was never an option. She will probably follow him in time( baby steps). Distance doesn't matter. Its the feeling that he never felt and she did fall in love each time he stared.So she'll remember him as a man not equal to friend but more than that, a personalised chamber of secrets to feel again alive till the next time.

Are You Christian By Birth? Continue To Find Out.

"Christian" comprising of CHRIST referring to the followers of Jesus of Nazareth or Messiah.
While there are billions of controversies over Christianity, today I will share my personal experience being an Indian Christian through questions i have been replying .
Now before I start, over such a sensitive issue let me make few things clear, I am not promoting any religion,caste,race or region. I respect each person living on this planet as a human and i don't hold myself as an individual who is capable of judging anyone.

Born in a Hindu family I grew up watching the most diverse and  flexible customs in the mixed cultured town of Kharagpur. By the age of 15,  I happen to came across Christianity and Holy Bible. As day went by I started attending my local church and listened carefully to each word being directed to the seekers and eventually accepted Christ in my life. Or  in my believe, Lalpa (the great father in Mizo) accepted me as one of his children. I have been attending churches and gospel campaigns along with conference after conference. Trying my best not to boost but in time I was one of the important working member and not only limited to that but I was the only female giving sermon to people. I started off my journey of working at church as apart timer and proceeded towards non formal Sunday school teaching and adult christian family preacher. I was promoted to fellowship leader in 2016.
what makes it work so satisfyingly when (lets be honest) the salary which church offers is very low? and you work under such extreme areas specially in India?
it was a feeling which always made me smile and peaceful from inside. I could sleep and eat in time.

There were people definitely with different reactions but a supportive family.
 Most common questions which I had faced were :

THEM:  ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN?

My Answer: Yes am a believer of Christ.

THEM: YOU ARE FROM A CHRISTIAN FAMILY?

My Answer: No, my mom follow Hinduism. Freedom of religion,Duh!

THEM: SO, THAT MEANS YOU ARE NOT CHRISTIAN. YOU JUST GOT BAPTISM. AIN'T YOU?

My Answer: No one can be christian by birth.Everyone has to be baptized. One who believes in Christ are called christian. Baptism is a ritual and Jesus was himself baptized.

THEM:HOW CAN A BENGALI BE CHRISTIAN?

My Answer: Cause there's a country called Bangladesh as well.

THEM:YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN THAT MEANS YOU'RE AN ANGLO-INDIAN. ISN'T?

My Answer: my mom is from India and my is from a place which is now between Bhutan and Bangladesh. I am legally Indian LOL

THEM: YOUR MOTHER TONGUE IS ENGLISH?

My Answer: Am a blessed that Bible comes in all Indian dialects (almost).

THEM: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO CHANGE YOURSELF INTO A CHRISTIAN? MUST BE A HUGE DONATION?

My Answer: Unlike making fake caste certificates in India,it takes pure believe to adapt any religion.

THEM: YOU MUST EAT BEEF?

My Answer: My family used to eat tribal food like turtle,bat,pork,etc yet they are Hindu. I eat what is good in taste and good for health. By the way, I like butter chicken❤❤.

THEM: HOW COME YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN AND NOT IN XAVIER'S COLLEGE?

My Answer: Cause firstly it is a catholic college and am protestant. I didn't get my preferred department there cause there were much better intelligent Christians than me. Understand please.

THEM: WHAT I HEARD YOU DRINK ALCOHOL AT CHURCH. IS THAT TRUE?

My Answer: The only food a.k.a. (prasad in Hindi) we get is sacrament consisting of red wine made out of grape juice and diluted with water cause we don't get huge funds as simple as that.

THEM: HAWWW! YOU KISS DURING YOUR WEDDING. BUT WHY? ( kissing is a taboo for India but marital rape is a word which doesn't exist here)

My Answer: This is India. it take pure feeling to kiss in front of your priest and family. It depends person to person. By the way forehead kiss during my wedding is in my bucket list.

So,I would say just cause someone is baptized doesn't make them christian if they lack the devotion and similarly if someone does believe in lord without getting baptizedthen he/she doesn't become less than any person who has been giving testimonies.
Remember, god loves you no matter what you do. he is there to forgive. his love is equal for all. you're his child. you're chosen, forgiven and accepted.

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.



Hallelujah

If you're reading this I hope god bless you everyday.
Even if you don't know about him, God loves you!

REVIEW: NIVEA AFTER SHAVE BALM AS PRIMER

After reading the header I know what you guys must be thinking, but let me tell you this is one of the popular hack which started from YouTube. I encountered this amazing trick after watching videos from my one of favorite Beauty Guru Kaushalbeauty ( do spare some time to check her out). It will be difficult to find out the origin of this hack as we have seen 2016 flooding with the hack tricks all over.

Now coming back to the balm, it has a runny consistency so a few drop goes well for the face and neck. What impressed me most is the ingredient list starting from glycerin, which is in just about every face primer on the market followed by witch hazel ( sad luck for those who are intolerant to witch hazel).
This contains no alcohol (when I say alcohol, I'm talking about iso-propyl alcohol, SD alcohol, denatured alcohol, ethyl alcohol, and rubbing alcohol, which can have a drying effect on certain skin types) but it was all good for sensitive skin like mine, I have dry and sensitive type which is prone to breakout and flakiness at the same time.

In a country like India where the weather is such harsh I would say its really hard to pick up a primer that works well and available in India at the same time; plus budget is another issue. I got this from local drugstore shop at INR 235 (so cheap right? )

How to use:

1. Cleanse your face using your regular routine.
2. Apply your favorite moisturizer 
3. Take a small amount on your palm dabbing the balm on your skin and let it sit for a minute ( it feels tacky at first later on dries out)
4. Apply your regular foundation or makeup routine

PROS-
1. It is cheap and available everywhere.
2. You get that cologne kinda smell which I personally like the most but if you don't like it don't worry it fades in time
3. Doesn't break out
4. Does the job nicely
5. Blends easily
6. Specially for sensitive skin

CONS-
1.  Honestly I tried this during winter, so am skeptic about the it during summer
2. The fact that you are using a men's product might bother some
3. Might not work for people intolerant for Witch Hazel
4. Might not work for super oily skin
5. Doesn't cover up pores



CONCLUSION:

I will be using it definitely till spring and if it works for summer am not going back to my other primers.
It is one good hack that one should try till the time they don't lay down their eye to some other primer according to their choice.
out of 5 I would say its a 4.5 product.
