Hair Chalking

Hey Guys!!!
In this post I will be teaching you all how to chalk your hair!

What is hair chalking?
Chalking is a way to add temporary color to your hair by using CHALK! Yes chalk.

Is it safe?
I re-searched a lot on this and asked a lot of people and yes it is totally safe!As talc in used in many other products we put on our skin, this method is safe.

Materials:
1. Soft Pastels
2. Gloves (optional)
3. Old T-shirt or any Dark shirt
4. Hair styling tools 

Method:

1. USE SOFT PASTELS.
Blonds: Rub the chalk directly to your hair. 
Brunettes: Dampen you hair first, roll it a little and rub the chalk in one direction.

WARNING: Your cloths and hands will get really messy so wear old cloths or anything you don't mind getting dirty. Wear gloves if you don't want your hands dirty.

2. Let the colour set (if your hair is damp let it dry).

3. Blow dry, curl or use a flat iron to lock the colour in.

So that's all u have to do! Its really easy to do and gives a pop of color in your hair!

- Baking Soda (not baking powder)
- Plain Wheat Flour 

Method- 
- Squeeze the grapes in a plate (leave the grape skin behind)
- Add the flour gradually to the grape juice and mix until it thickens. The consistency should be a runny paste, something like porridge.
- Add 1/4 spoon of baking soda and mix well.

Application/Removal-
- Clean your face before applying 
- Apply a generous amount on your face avoiding the eye area.
- Let the mask dry til 15 mins.
- After its dry, rinse off with luke-warm water.

Your skin will be refreshed, feel smother and tighter. Your skin will look brighter and it will glow.
After this apply your moisturiser. Your make up will look much better on :)

BEAUTY: How To Depot A Lipstick

Hey Guys! 
This is my tutorial on how to depot your lipsticks. This trick is very useful if you want to save some space in your collection or even when travelling you don't have to carry many tubes.





Materials:
-A container/box/ pallet (if u r doing many colors)
-Hair dryer 
-Tooth pic/scraping tool/ anything thin and pointy
-Tissue/cloth (to clean the overflowing product)
-Your lipstick

Method:
-First take your lipstick tube and lay it down. Using a tooth pic or your tool remove all the product out of the tube and try going deep in and removing as much as possible.
-After you get all the product out, make sure your hands r clean and then squash the lipstick in the container! (I know it sounds gross but that is just gonna help your lipstick melt much faster!)
-Next, take your dryer and put it on the highest setting and begin to melt the product. (Keep checking and mixing the product from time to time)
-Then, carefully hold your container and tap it against the table till it smooths down. This also helps remove any air bubbles. 
-Finally put the container in the fridge for about 10- 15 minutes and let it set.



Hope this helped!
