Guest post Do -It- Yourself Aloevera Hair Conditioner

I have pretty Thin hair, but not limp. I use Dove Damage Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner, though it does not provide softness like conditioners. There are times I find the ends of my hair very dry, in spite of Conditioning/ deep conditioning. My mom uses this Aloevera conditioner for her hair and that really helps her hair detangle ( She has curly hair ).  I have thin, straight hair and this conditioner suits me too. 

All you need is:
Aloe vera pulp
Rosemary Essential oil.

This is how the Aloe Vera flesh looks

Aloe Flesh once Liquified turns frothy.

How to use:
You can simply use this as hair mask or regular conditioner. I make the Aloevera gel  batch as in Procedure #2 and store in refrigerator.
And add Rosemary while I want to use.
I cover my hair from roots to tips with this and leave on for 30 mins once a week and other batch ( that I refrigerate) is used after Shampoo as regular conditioner, spreading all over my scalp and hair and rinsing after 10 mins.

Benefits:
Aloevera  act as Moisturizer for skin and hair as well.
Rosemary treats scalp infection and Dandruff and promotes Hair growth as well.
The Aloe gel ( without rosemary) can also be in face packs.
Imparts Shine to Hair. 
If you have Oily scalp, Add a cap full of Apple Cider Vinegar.
If you have extremely dry and brittle hair, Add 3-6 drops of Jojoba Oil or Castor Oil.

MAC Heavenly Creatures Limited edition collection Meteoric cremesheen lipglass

M.A.C. launched 5 gorgeous Cremesheen lipglasses along with its Heavenly Creature's collection and I'm reviewing Meteoric Cremesheen lipglass today for all you pretty Girls!

MAC's cremesheen lipglass Meteoric is a beautiful coral pink semi opaque gloss (with milky undertones) and gold micro shimmer.The cremesheen glosses usually come in creamy non shimmery formulation and that is precisely the kind of texture I want in my glosses.
Meteoric unlike most cremesheen lipglasses has shimmer, but it isn't obvious and the micro reflects gives a very high glossy finish to my lips.

 It also gives a nice luxurious, hydrated and slightly plumped up feel to the lips.The gloss has upwards of 3 hours of wear time and it doesn't feather or slide off my lips.

Skin care,Body care and foot care lotions and potions haul

My Empties project made a major dent in my stash of lotions & potions and for once I was left scarcely any face cream,body lotions face wash,foot cream etc.I usually burn right through my fun money (read my makeup & toiletries budget) very quickly by splurging on makeup... (yes that is a separate expense head in my personal budget , which would exceed the GDP of a small nation :P) This time round barring my Sleek Haul,I decided to go easy on makeup and instead tank up on some much needed skin care ,body care & foot care stuff.

Yeah I know a face wash or night cream or a foot soak is hardly half as exciting as a juicy lip gloss or a bold lip color but then, to look good you need a good skin and ergo a whole bunch of potions. This time I decided to haul from Purplle.com and Flipkart.com.

Most of the stuff I ordered were repeat buys and I'd recommend these. Detailed product wise reviews coming right up.

From Purplle.com I hauled  Vaseline Cocoa body lotion, Shahnaz Hussain Shasilk Matte moisturizer, Shahnaz Hussain Beauty Balm,Himalaya Oil control lemon face wash & Nivea Oil regulating toner.
Purplle's services were good, though they didn't have one of my ordered item in stock, for which they issued me a store credit.Their customer services team was very prompt & courteous to both phone and email queries.
The delivery took 4 or 5 days which was a bit slow as per me.I used a 10% discount coupon from my Kotak credit card ,on my entire order.
Other thing is that they require minimum INR 499/- order size for availing free shipping. Which is fair from a business profitability point of view, it does keep me from ordering items on a whim...Hmmm.. what do you think about a minimum order quantity to be eligible for free shipping?

Foot care haul from Flipkart.com- Yes before playing footsie I do need a good pedi :D
Vedicline  Foot Soak,Vedicline nail & cuticle cream, Vedicline foot massage cream & Vega Nail file& cuticle remover.

This was my first time ordering Makeup & Beauty items from Flipkart.
Flipkart was extremely fast in their delivery, considering they had to deliver items locally within Delhi, they took under 24 hours to deliver my items,though a weird thing was that for the 4 items I had purchased they sent 4 different parcels to my place, each containing 1 item only. I mean one parcel came with a single nail file!!! Isn't that very unusual?
Overall I think I might be returning to Flipkart, I'm a restless soul and I want my goodies quickly!

Overall I'm very happy & very satisfied with my haul,now I'm heading off to give myself some TLC with my lotions. You Girls have a great day ahead :)

ciao!
