Hair Pack- Vitamin treatment for healthy long hair with step by step pictures

Posted: 08 Nov 2010 01:13 AM PST


 I haven't paid any attention to my hair since 15-20 days and now they needs extra care.All of our hair needs some extra treatment beside our regular hair care routine of massaging, shampooing and conditioning. As we all know that we need vitamin for hair growth and for thinning hair as well so I thought of giving vitamin treatment to my hair.The pack treat the damages caused by harsh chemicals or hair products and pollution too.

There are many other benefits also which I will share with you guys later.

Lets check out the ingredients required for the hair pack

You will just need three products for this pack.
2 Eggs
2vitamin E capsules
2tbsp. of almond oil or Extra virgin Olive oil


Method :-

It is easy  but as I was making it so I thought of sharing the pics with you guys

Step1 - Take two eggs. Two eggs works fine for my medium length hair.You can increase or decrease the quantity according to your hair length.


Step2 - Add 2tbsp. of almond oil. I am using Patanjali almond oil .I am close to finishing the bottle so review coming soon.I have Fab India almond oil also but that is a body oil so didn't use that one.


Step3 - Take 2 capsules of Vitamin E . I am using Evion 400 which are easily available in  medical shop.


Blend all the ingredients together and apply on to the hair for 20 minutes.I don't keep eggs on my hair for long because they  get too sticky and little difficult to come out but if you can then please do fit  for 45 minutes or one hour.Use a mild shampoo and conditioner to wash your hair and you are done.

If you can't bear the egg smell then squeeze one lemon into it.

Benefit of  vitamin Treatment :-

If you can keep this hair pack for one hour then it helps in strengthening the root of the hair but you will need to thoroughly wash your hair to clear the egg.Eggs are rich in protein as it helps in making the hair follicle stronger and one will suffer from less hair fall.Applying eggs also give fewer split ends .In addition to this when we apply raw eggs it makes our hair soft and smooth and add shine to them.

Vitamins for hair growth- For healthy hair growth we need foods containing vitamin B12 which includes eggs, meat and poultry.I have read that our hair can not live without vitamin B12 nutrient and we women easily develops this deficiency.

Almond oil add luster to hair making them healthy and vitamin E oil promotes hair growth .You can read more benefits of almond oil here and vitamin E oil here.

Fab India Neem Tulsi skin toner (Product review)

Posted: 07 Nov 2010 11:47 PM PST


                                            Fab India Neem Tulsi skin toner (Alcohol free toner)

Last time when I reviewed Fab India Neem tulsi face wash I didn't review the toner as I was interested in using for few more days.Now the things is that bottle is 99% complete :D:D .I am a toner and a moisturizer person and during my 15 days stay in Delhi I use it 3-4 times every day.


Both the products are in 100ml quantity and come in combo pack as well as separately. 

Price of Fab India Neem Tulsi face was and Fab India Neem tulsi toner is Rs 250.If you buy them individually then the toner cost Rs 150 and comes in 200 or 250 ml quantity.

Company claims that is an alcohol free toner which is rich in anti-spetic and anti bacterial properties.It deep cleanses the skin by removing impurities and dirt .Ideal for oily skin.

   You can see how much I used the toner with my face wash :P
My experience with the product:- 
Thank God now I know a brand which is not expensive and have alcohol free toner with them.With this it also has anti bacterial properties therefore I find it more interesting.I traveled big time in last fifteen days and the moment I use to come back I used this on my skin.It calmed down my skin and prevented acne from re - occurring .This was may be because of its anti bacterial properties otherwise if I travel every day my skin break out easily.
Product Ingredients:-
Purified water, Neem leaves extract, Rose water, Aloevera extract, Ritha extract, Hydroxy Ethyl Urea, Glycerine, Polysorbate 20, Phenoxythanol, Imid Urea, CAPB Allantoin, Tulsi oil

I knew all the ingredients except Imid Urea and Urea sounded scary and I found this about the ingredient:-
Imidazolidinyl urea is an antimicrobial preservative used in cosmetics. It is chemically related to diazolidinyl urea which is used in the same way. Imidazolidinyl urea acts as a formaldehyde releaser.Some people have a contact allergy to imidazolidinyl urea causing dermatitis. Such people are often also allergic to diazolidinyl urea. (From wikipedia)

What I liked about the product:-

1. As the product has rose water, Neem oil and aloevera , it comes first in my like list.
2. Makes me feel fresh when ever I use it.
3. When ever I come back home I like using it as it removes impurities from my face.
4. It will suit sensitive skin easily even if it has the above ingredients.
5. Quiet affordable.
6. It has nice neem and tulsi fragrance which doesn't irritate my nose.
7.If it is clubbed with Neel tulsi face wash it helps in preventing acne but yes not in curing them.
8 Keeps my skin hydrated and doesn't make me feel dry .
9.Texture of the product is really light.

Dislike - I like my toners in spray bottle.I don't like taking out cotton , soaking it in the toner and applying it on my face.Too lengthy for a lazy person like me.

2. Doesn't help in minimizing pores.

All in all certainly not a bad product and I am going to re purchase it again.

Rating -  3.5/5

My experience with Strawberrynet.com ( Online shopping)

Posted: 07 Nov 2010 09:37 PM PST

Hello beautiful people!!!!

I am back in Hyderabad and moment I reached home this is what I found.This Loreal Paris Bare natural the flawless starter kit.It was nicely packed and there is just no damage in the product.Whenever I  buy cosmetics online damaging of the product is what I fear the most.

This is my first purchase from strawberry.net and there are various reason why I purchased from them.

Benefit of buying from Strawberry.net
1. They have en number of offers running whole real around and with Christmas round the corner they have increased their discount.

2. The product which I bought is almost the half of its price what I would have got from any Loreal counter.

3. They have discount on sale prices  and then they have locality discounts which starts from 1 % from your 2nd order and go up to maximum to 10%.

4.They have 5 % discount with purchase of three items and above with no price cap and yes discounts are cumulative.

5. If you are fond of high end brands then you might go bonkers with this site because they have discount of 50% also in many of the products.

6. The most important part.They do freeeeeeeee delivery.

Ok I think I am going mad and therefore before I move ahead and share more let me tell you what I got.

1, Loreal paris Bare natural gentle mineral makeup(SPF 19 Sunscreen)

- This is a skin improving mineral formula foundation which is soft ivory in colour.

2. Loreal Paris Bare Natural gentle mineral blush - Peached Pink 

3. Loreal Bare natural soft focus mineral finish - Transparent 401


All the  three  products are Limited edition


My experience:-

1. I ordered on 18th of October and product was delivered to me when I was in Delhi on 26 or 27th October.This is what hubby told me.They have fast delivery options too but for that they do charge delivery charges so I didn't chose that one.

2. I used my husband credit card for it and after that I didn't need to communicate with them at all.and  they accept all currencies .

3. There were not too many formalities to be made. 


4. I got this products of around Rs 800 where as all the loreal sell Natural finish powder of Rs 800 only and in Rs 800 I got three products .So actually all these three products would have costed me around above Rs 1500 but here I almost got them in half the amount.

5. It is a starter kit but look at the quantity both the blush and mineral finish are of 0.04oz each which is going to last for two months easily if I use it every day.

6.I have not seen this 3 in 1 thing on loreal counter and then mineral with foundation , blush and translucent powder.I guess I had no reason to drop this one.

With this I got strawberry.net coupon .I am going to get a free gift with my next purchase.Gosh!!! Company is making every thing possible to make us spend      


How to use all the three Loreal Paris  products :-

Gentle Mineral makeup SPF 19 Foundation:-

1 Apply concealer to face in Small circular motions with built in all -natural brush.

2. For the flawless coverage of a foundation and the feather -light feel of a powder.

2 . Gentle Mineral Blush 

1. Sweep blush across cheek for natural healthy- looking color.

2. Instantly brightens for a beautiful , flattering hint of rosy flush

3. Soft -Focus mineral finish

1. Dust lightly over face in large circular motion for a translucent shine- free pore less finish

3. Softens blends and smoothes your complexion - an essential step to complete your perfect look!

 They have soft brushes on all the three products.yeyeyeyey!!!!

The website have many discounts on Fragrances and skin care products and discount up to 60% is something which I doubted .So I did my little research though after the product was delivered to me.This website is actually quiet popular abroad .When people have made purchases and by mistake  if there package went missing in between then they have returned back the money instead of blaming to some one else.

I have gone through almost the whole site and I found few brands which Indian customers might like
1.Loreal
2. MAC
3. Bourjois
4.Clinique
5Chanel
6. Estee Lauder
7. H20
8. Kiehl's
9 .Bobby brown 

Most of the product which they offer have some or the other discount.For example MAC Small eye shadow in refill pan is of Rs 680 there and Small eye shadow is of Rs 827 and with this you will get there free gift also if you have the coupon.

Only and the biggest drawback of Strawberry .net is that they don't have much variety in them and there products are quiet selected.They had only 12 colours available in refill pan and there is no trace of  MAC new collection.

All in all I enjoyed my product and shopping experience on Strawberry.net and will suggest to everyone who do not have access to many brands in their city.
You can visit the site here

P.S - With the good news of this product bad news arrived too.My maid is on leave for 2 days and my house has no been cleaned since 10 days.God why meeee !!!
