Hey Guys!
Todays post is all about how I have been getting rid of spots on my face. Over the past, I have used so many different DIY's, medicines and other facial products to try and get rid of my spots. But this home remedy I have discouvered is so amazingly helpful. All you need is garlic!



Take one clove of garlic, chop it in half and make cuts in it with a knife to release the juices. Then all you need to do is rub it on your face. Leave this on over night.

I do this and it really stings on my face but only for around 5 minutes, after that I can't feel it anymore but one thing I really don't like is the smell of the garlic. But seeing results after a few tries made me care less about the smell and more about making those spots vanish! I learnt this DIY from the beautiful Farah Dhukai whose YouTube videos I have been watching for a while and you should check her out too!

Let me know if you try this!:)













*Please make sure you are not allergic to garlic, also try it out on a small patch of your face and if it doesn't suit your skin then discontinue.

Hey guys! In this post, I am going to be talking about tea tree oil and why everyone should have some in their homes! 

First things first, a little bit of background on tea tree oil. Tea tree oil comes from a tree which can be found in the southeast end of Queensland, at the north coast and in New South Wales. The tree is called Melaleuca alternifolia. 


Tea tree oil is an essential oil which is extracted from the leaves of this tree. It is not safe to take by the mouth however it has many uses and many benefits.

The way I use tea tree oil is by diluting it in water. I add a few drops of it in a spray container of water.

1. TEA TREE SPRAY: I use this on pretty much everything, I spray it on my makeup brushes before using them, I spray it on my face before bed to help my acne and I also spray it in my room to kill any bad odours. You can also spray this where shoes are kept to keep the area clean and bacteria free.

2. ACNE: You can directly apply tea tree oil onto your acne without diluting it in water, but it is always recommended to test it on a little area first. I cannot handle the smell of tea tree oil as it is too strong, it also stings on my acne but only for a little while and then it is fine. It dries out my spots and they disappear within days. However, I do prefer just spraying tea tree oil diluted in water onto my face.

3. FUNGAL INFECTION: Another thing you can use tea tree oil for is on any fungal infection. Some people get fungal infections on their feet where the toe nails become yellow and bascially unhealthy and unappealing. Apllying tea tree oil regularly onto the nails will help them recover. This will happen over time so you need to do this every single day. 

4. SORE MUCUS THORAT: You can add one drop of tea tree oil, along with a teaspoon of salt into luke warm water and gargle this water in your mouth daily. This will help clear out the mucus and soothe your sore throat. 

5. SMALL CUTS ON THE SKIN: Everyone gets those tiny but painful and extremely annoying cuts everywhere on the body. When even do they happen? But do not fear. Tea tree oil will help heal them fast. Just spray a little bit of tea tree oil and water onto a plaster/bandaid and apply it. 

6.  BAD BREATH: Gargling tea tree oil has another benefit which is that it kills unwanted mouth bacteria, helping those who might have a bad breath problem. Bad breath is very common and oral care is very important so using tea tree oil for this purpose is an effective method.

7. REDUCING BACTERIA IN THE DUSTBIN: Spray some tea tree oil and water into the dustbin daily to reduce odour and bacteria. Obviously this isn't going to make the bins smell good and completely safe to touch etc etc. But this is an effective method of temporarily making the dustbin area just a little more cleaner. 

8. SMELLY SHOES: Spray some tea tree oil and water into your trainers after wearing them and store them in a cool place eg a garage. This will kill the odour. Also add a little baking soda which will help too. 

9.  BYE BYE DANDRUFF AND LICE: If you have dandruff, you can add a few drops of tea tree oil into your shampoo, this will also help to prevent lice.

10. SKIN TAGS: Take some lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and a good 6 drops of tea tree oil. Mix these together and apply to your skin tags before bed. Cover it with a plaster/bandaid and leave it on all night. Do this daily and hopefully, in a month you will see results.




I hope you liked this post and found it helpful. Please comment and let me know if you try any of these. If you have any further questions you can email me raaabbbiiiaaa@hotmail.com

Disclaimer:

Please do remember to test these out first, as all of these remedies might not be suitable for everyone. Tea tree oil might not suit all skin types, please try a little first.

These are all methods that I have either tried myself or got from my mum. I'm pretty sure many others use tea tree oil in similar ways.

Hope you enjoyed reading this!:)x

Another thing I love about this palette is the choice of colour. With these natural shades, many looks are achievable and this palette is very good for those who are into earth tones, browns and naturals.

You can use this palette to create day time looks as well as evening, party looks.

I have created a soft, wearable party look using two shades from this palette on top of a cream eye shadow.

I used the shades "truffled" and "peanut butter" in Samiya's crease and these shades stand out and really add definition to the eye.


I then added W7's cream eyeshadow in the shade "Glided cage". I am probably going to do another detailed review on W7's cream eyeshadows because I think they are AWESOME and slightly underated. They need more attention!!!





This is Samiya's look :)

LA Girl Pro Conceal Review
These concealers have been all over Instagram lately and many Youtubers have also been using them for highlighting and contouring. Since these were getting so popular, I decided to get my hands on some and test them out. I must say, my first impressions of the concealer was not good at all. I felt like they were too drying and therefore difficult to blend. However, after a few uses, I love these concealers! I had understood that the concealer drying fast on my skin is probably due to my dry skin

How I hide blemishes/acne scars

Most young women suffer from acne which can affect their self-confidence. I too suffer from spots and whatever I try, they don't seem to vanish completely.

Dry skin is a common problem which might not be as annoying at first, but when applying foundation, the product sticks onto the dry patches on your skin, making it look "cakey" and unappealing.
