Granny's Kitchen : orange peel glow mask

Hello there ,

I have not been posting because i was thinking to quit but in the end i decided not to :D
Granny's kitchen is basically a series previously I introduced as 'the new me' .
Enough of this already !
Today i present you this mask made from orange peel and which  does work and gives instant results.
Well i saw this at one of the blogs that orange peel are extremely good for skin and health . So I did my own little research and came to the conclusion to try this and give some really good advice to my readers :)
Well according to my research the peel has more vitamin C than the orange itself. And it has calcium and potassium and some other as well its that good !
So basically i peeled two oranges washed them and cut them in thin slices :D
Then i spread them on an aluminium sheet and let them dry for two days , yours may take more or less time because it depends on the peels .  Wait until they completely dry they will eventually shrink .  Grind them and store the powder in an airtight box in the fridge.
I have been consuming it 1 teaspoon with water and there is a visible change . So dry them up before orange say bye to you.
The mask is for glowing skin i figured that out because i had the dewy glow on my face afyer applying this you shine which doesn't look oily yeah that kind of shine.
Ingredients
Orange peel powder   2tsp
Honey                         1tsp
Yoghurt                     1tsp
Directions
Mix all ingredient until form a past apply on skin . Let dry and massage . Wash away with warm water.
Until next time . Tc.

Review: Pond's white beauty BB+ fairness cream

Hey there folks ! Long time no see xD . Well, i was quite busy the past week due to all the exams and when they are ended fun etc . A week ago or so i went to a local grocery store with my mom and was wandering in the beauty/cosmetic section and spotted this little beauty . I saw the ad while switching channels but didnt expect to come across it because mainly it only released in India . I went through the box and saw it was made in  India hence me being me i went to the cashier and inquired he told they had come tomorrow only and were imported from india . I dont wear full foundations because i dont require that much coverage so i brought it home . Ok after this big story bck to the review :
 This bb cream promises to work deep inside skin and outside . I dont know about inside but oh boy it does wonders to my skin outside . There is nothing you can complain about this baby except that the box says natural coverage and the advertisement too which means its going change colour when you apply it well nothing of that sort happened so that it misht be a turnoff gor darker skined beauty but it fits my skin perfectly it tend to go a tad lighter or darker but dont expect  it to turn ivory foe you . But i love it more than the garnier one ^.^
Texture: 5/5 smooth blendable more like paste kindoff texture
Packing : 4/5 gives me control of the amount though does get a little messy but no where near garnier
Application : 4.5/5 vrry smooth does highlight dryness .
Total : 8/10 i love it
Below are the swatches compared with garnier bb cream

 Left side is garnier and right side ponds

MUA smokin palette

Hi beauties :) i know a new beauty blogger bot updating her blog does not give a very professional image but oh well i have exams in a week :( so i will be posting more often after 17th IA :) anyway back to the review
Mua smokin palette is a dupe for urban decay smokin pallete but i dont have UD so can't compare how ever this little is a gem  <3
1100 is a little overpriced for mua palette but atleast it doesnt make you throw 7000 pkr from your wallet just to regret later on . Also the new way of keeping the eye shadows in squar shape makes it look more sophisticated  than the round ones .

The palette contains :
4 matte eyeshadows
6 shimmer eyeshadows
1 black smokin eye pencil
The pigmentation is amazing and the texture is very soft
The pencil has great pigmentation and is very creamy it glides really nicely . Over all this has a decent wearing time 4-5 hours on my oily lids it might crease i suggest putting primer first .
I give it 4/5
You can get this palette from just4girls.pk or mua website :)
P.s i know there no pictures but i dont know error is occurring

Hello world



Welcome to the beauty ride ^.^ This is my very first blog and it us all about beauty and fashion
I would like to make a few things clear firstly mehreen is not my real name :) some people might take this wrong but this is just due to safety issues i hope it isnt much of a problem for many secondly i might not be able to post everyday because I still go to school and studies are very time consuming . 
my philosophy is fashion and beauty are deep inside makeup and clothes are just a way to express :) thats it for the introduction :D
