My Mehndi/Henna Decor - some bright ideas!

My Mehndi/Henna Decor - some bright ideas! This is not makeup related...but I got married not so long ago and thought I'd post a pic of my henna table decor and rasam (traditions) tray, which has fruits and sweet stuff on it that gets fed to the bride by the guests, and also the henna and Ittar (perfume) thats get put on her ( in which case me!). For the decor, I got the fabric from some indian shop which was a perfect for my bright themed henna party. The colourful ethnic trays are from Pakistan, and the fruit is from Tescos lol! Bright colours are a must for henna/mehndi parties! So hope this gives you some inspiration this wedding season! Lots of yellow, greens and pinks! My henna decor!

Maybelline Colour Drama Velvet Intense Lip Crayon Swatches

Maybelline Colour Drama Velvet Intense Lip Crayon Swatches So I was browsing on my lunch break whilst at work and came across these in Superdrugs...hmm which ones to get! I went back to the store a couple of times but the shades I want are always sold out! Overall nice shades, apart from 'Minimalist' which I think is too light for my skin tone (top left). 'In with Coral' is SO my kind of everyday shade (4th from the left). Not into the berries and reds much but very appropriate colours for Autumn. Most of them look like very flattering shades for warm skin tones, and they are very pigmented.  Check them out in store!

Billy in the Tree Pure Argan Oil Review This was my first Argan oil I tried after looking into countless number of bottles and potions of this stuff! I came across this on Amazon, and it had really good reviews on it. Alot of other argan oils had mixture of other ingredients on it specially the mainstream popular branded ones. It comes in a lovely amber glass bottle. The packaging is cute and lovely and expensive looking....but about the product itself. Well...it depends what your actually using the Argan oil for. For myself, personally I use this product for my hair and face. I use a drop of this Argan oil at night and mix it with a face cream before bed, by morning I wake up with soft supple younger looking skin. It's really improved how my skin feels and will continue using this throughout winter. I also use this on my hair, although be warned if you do use too much of it your hair will look heavy and oiled. Best time to use this on your hair is when it's freshl
