10 Tips To Make Your Hair Grow Faster





Among all the haircare requests I get, tips on getting longer hair is handsdown the most requested so far. Hair growth is such a broad topic to talk about as there are so many things that hinder hair growth. Ranging from genetics, diets, skin conditions to hormonal issues, the whole issue as you can imagine depends from individual to individual. 
To answer the frequently ask question "how did you grow your hair so long?", 70% of the credits goes to the amazing genes my mom passed on to me. However, through years of research and undying passion for haircare, I did learn quite a few things that promote hair growth and help with hair thinning/loss.

Homemade Cinnamon Acne Mask



It wouldn't be an exaggeration if I say acne is one of the top few things that can ruin my day. It takes someone with a bad history of acne to know the struggle it takes to see it every morning and of course to deal with the people who comment on it. And the worst of it all is treating it! 

Let me share with you all a cinnamon face mask that could be your acne's number one enemy! This mask could be a bit powerful for some skin types, so it's better to spot treat first than apply on full face if you have sensitive skin.

DIY Acne Toner Spray


If you take a basic skin care routine of a girl the most overlooked step will definitely be the toner. However, sadly toner is one of the most important steps that you need to treat your skin with. Toners are meant to balance your skin's pH, but a good toner will also carry a ton of antioxidant, hydrating and pore cleansing benefits in it. 

In this article I will be sharing an easy way to make your own toner at home. I have carefully chosen the ingredients so it adheres to any skin type; however this toner spray will work best on oily, acne prone skin. The essential oils I used here which act as crucial ingredients are by a Sri lankan company named Cliara Essential oils who make amazing quality essential oils locally. If you are curious as in where to buy your essential oils feel free to check their site here.

20 Acne Spot Treatments You Can Do At Home

h

If anything could surprise you in the very least convenient and unexpected times, it's those annoying little (and sometimes gigantic) pimples that pop up right before a big day. And no matter what you do they won't budge for a good week, or worse will get bigger and bigger for an eternity.

So before you get the urge to squeeze the little monster, let me share with you not 1 but 20 things you can find at your comfort zone that will help treat any zit over night. All the mentioned treatments will act just as good (or even better) as all those expensive acne gels in the market by shrinking the zit overnight without damaging, drying or scarring the skin.

Review : The Faceshop Blueberry Face Mask



Today my review is on one of my favorite beauty companies ever! The Faceshop is a South Korean based company that produces a range of beauty products from makeup, skin care, hair care to nail care.  As they have a few stalls here in Sri lanka I have already used their nail polishes quite a few times and I absolutely fell in love with it. Therefore when the lovely management from Faceshop wanted to send me their products I was way over the moon and the milky-way to be precise. 


The product I will be reviewing today is their Blueberry face mask that is claimed to be an instant moisturizing treatment for your skin (further product details are mentioned at the end of the article).

4 All-Natural Steps To Clear Your Acne Scars



Acne scars are not merely physical scars. For some of us the scar runs deeper through the skin surface to a point where you become your own nightmare in front of the mirror every morning.


There maybe dozens of effective not to mention very unhealthy prescribed treatments out there for acne scars, however, there is nothing reassuring like knowing you are treating yourselves with all natural ingredients.

I have had my own battle wth acne scars for years. So when I tell you I feel you, trust me girl I really do. Which is why I narrowed down the face care routine that helped save my skin for you all today.

REVIEW: Viana Liquid Eyeliner



Among the few major cosmetic companies in Sri lanka Viana Cosmetics is one of the most well known out there. Along with lipsticks, nail polishes, powders, foundations and other products, one face line that caught my eyes (literally) was their liquid eyeliner collection. There are quite a few eyeliners already in their collection varying from gels, pencils, felt-tipped to a few different water-proof/non water-proof bottle liners. So today's review post is fully dedicated to one of those non-waterproof bottle eyeliners that retails for Rs 285.

Is the Viana Liquid Eyeliner hipogirl approved?

5 Tricks To Tame Your Curly Hair | Tame Thy Mane




"I have curls just like yours, but they are never tamable"

"Help! My curls are a frizzy mess!!"

"How can I make my curls look more defined?" 

Let me tell you the truth, there is never really a correct technique to manage one's curls. Why? Because if you take 20 different curlheads you will definitely find each and every lock is unique and gorgeously structured in its own way. Some may sleep with bare wet hair and wake up with effortlessly beautiful curls while some others will need 3 hours to slather on 5 liters of gels and mousses wishing they will corporate at least a few hours through the day.
