Get Beatiful Skin At Home:

Flaunting a fair and flawless complexion is everyone’s dream.There are so many beauty products available in the market today, but somehow we still run to age-old tips.These natural, home-made beauty tips passed on from generations  can never go wrong with any skin type.

 Banana face mask for glowing skin:
Half a banana mashed, One egg white, One tablespoon curd
Mash the banana mix well the egg white and curd in it. Apply on face. Wash after fifteen minutes. Banana is best for glowing skin. Try it and you don’t have to go to parlour for a glow on your face.

Avocados  For  Facial:
In a bowl, mix ½ avocado, ½ cup of plain yogurt and ¼ cup of honey until completely blended. Then apply evenly to your face and leave on for 10 minutes. Use a washcloth to gently wipe off, then rinse with water and follow with your regular moisturizer.(avocados are available at green valley and al-fateh)

Mint to Shrink a Pimple :

This herb can tackle blemishes without drying skin like harsh acne medicines. Peppermint contains menthol and menthone, compounds that reduce redness and inflammation, Mint also acts as an astringent, clearing away pimple-causing oil. Take a small handful of leaves put them in a food processor with 1 tsp lemon juice. (The acidic juice temporarily changes the pH of your skin, preventing bacteria growth) Cover the blemish for 10 minutes then rinse. Repeat twice a day until the spot is gone.

Parsley to Brighten Dark Circles:
Want to banish undereye circles in the blink of an eye? Pass the parsley. It's rich in vitamin K, a nutrient that, when applied topically, reduces blood flow to the eye area—Over time, the fatty layer of skin under your eyes thins out, which, in turn, makes underlying blood vessels more visible, take 1 small handful of fresh parsley, 2 tablespoon fresh yogurt. Place parsley and yogurt (which has cooling and hydrating effect on skin) into a food processor pulse until a smooth paste is formed. Apply the paste generously on undereye are. let it sit for 20 minutes and then wash it.

Remove The Tan: 
Mix Lemon, Cucember, Papaya juice,a pinch of cinnamon powder , 1 tablespoon Milk ,1 table spoon Rose water and, 1 teaspoon honey and add ubtan (optional)  make a paste and apply on your face and neck. Leave it for 20 minutes then wash with luke warm water with light hands in circular motion repeat this process everyday this mixture will remove tan aswell as make your skin fair and glowing.

That Glow:

Do you long for a naturally gorgeous complexion? Do you wish that you had absolutely beautiful, glowing skin? We always hear that eat good, drink water, sleep proper and excercise can give you a healthy skin and makes your skin glow but in our busy routines we forget to takecare of ourselves. There are lots of products that can give you that glow and i am listing few products i tried and tested on my self and writing the results for you.

Garnier Skin Renew Overnight Regenerating Cream:
I simply ADORE this product. This is my 5th tube and is going to end as you can see. It has light almost lemony scent which i dont mind. the cream itself is very lightweight not very mosturising but it sinks in deeply and stings a little bit. I wake up with super soft baby skin. I mix this with my clarins night cream because my skin is dry. You dont need too much to cover the whole face apply it before you are going to bed and feel the diffrence when you wake up. I love this product and really happy with the results.

Murad Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisturiser:
I really do love Murad products i trust their products and have always been a fan . i was super excited to try the Murad Hydro Dynamic Ultimate Mosturise. while its not labled as a night cream, I certainly do use it as one because the texture is bit heavy and doesnt contain SPF. when i say heavy i dont mean uncomfortably heavy. Its extremely rich , intensely hydrating and really does help with dryness. You may look at the prices and be a bit surprised... but trust me you get what you pay for.

Rose Water:
''Roses'' the word itself brings a freshness to our thoughts and everybody knows the benefits of it. I am using rose water from so long and its been an essential product for me now i dont use any toner just spray this on my face after facewash. Toners make my face feels tight and dry and this product is not harmful in any way. I use the one from Saeed ghani and happy with the results.

Body Shop Shiso Whitening Night Treatment:
I have been using this product for a month and have seen results. In Summers asian skin tan easily it helps to reduce it. You will feel the diffrence after a week or two. I sometimes mix it with me serum because of the oily texture its a bit greasy but my skin feel so smooth and luminizing in the morning.

Nuxe White- Brightening Moisturising Emulsion:
This light and silky emulsion with its matte finish helps diminish the appearance of dark spots and revives skin radiance. This product is immediately absorbed into the skin and effectively reduces the number and appearance of dark spots and improves one's complexion. It has a gel like texture and works like magic on the skin. it actually removes the dark spots gradually and evens out the skin tone.
nuxe is a french brand and all their products are very mild, natural and good to skin.

La Prairie Cellular Cleansing water Eyes-face:
I wish I didn't like this product so much because I can't justify paying that much for a cleansing water! But it really does a wonderful, quick and effortless job of removing all my makeup in one step. I find it doesn't irritate my skin/eyes and leaves my skin smooth and refreshed. This is a great product if you can't be bothered cleansing with water at night, but want something to remove makeup well. Plus it definitely works a lot better than the horrible L'Oreal, Garnier etc makeup remover wipes I used to use in the past. It takes off all traces of makeup--even my double coat of mascara and thick eyeliner.

Garnier Sakura White Pinkish Raiance Whitening Cream:
As the saying goes “In the Pink of health”. Healthy pink skin reflects a healthy skin and body health. Garnier Sakura White range promises a revitalised skin that blossom from within up to 60% pinkish radiance in 4 weeks time.The potent ingredient of this range is from natural sakura extract which is a rare flower in Japan that blooms only once a year. it has a dry powdery + creamy texture so i dont rub it all over just apply with light hands on my face. It gives an instant healthy glow with a slight tint of pink which i love about this product.

What is Balayage

Balayage has been around for a while but this timeless technique is creeping its way back into being one of the most popular hair colour requests in saloons.

Balayage is a French word meaning to sweep or to paint. It allows for a sun-kissed natural looking hair colour - with softer, less noticeable regrowth lines. The principal idea being less is more when creating soft, natural looks.

Balayage is applied on the surface and not saturated through the section until the very tips, otherwise you would have a streak of colour that isn’t vey soft at all. It can also be called a freehand technique because no foil or meche are used to create the highlights.

DIY Balayage Hair:
Can you do your own balayage at home? Maybe, maybe not.

Balayage is a trickier business than ombre. It requires more precision and a good knowledge of how lightener works as well as over all placement.
You will also need more tools such as a precision color brush, cotton, foil, bowls, etc.
To get the best balayage results, visit a professional!
To determine which look is right for you, ask yourself these questions:
--Am I okay with the "grown out roots" look?
--Do I want something low maintenance?
--How much lighter than my natural shade do I want to go?
--How do I usually style my hair? Curl or straighten?
--Am I okay with bleach being used on my hair?


If you want low maintenance, subtle color, and like your hair straight, then balayage is great for you. Balayage may not require bleach depending on how light you want to go. Remember, it's supposed to look natural, so you will probably only go 2-3 shades lighter than your natural color. Because the color is painted on the hair vertically, you will not get that dreaded "line" meaning that as the color grows out, it will be less noticeable, making time between salon appointments longer. You can also straighten that hair without having to worry about seeing noticeable lines of color. And you can also wear it wavy or curly!

Hopefully my insight can help you on your color journey to getting the best hair for your style. Please message or email me @glittersandgoldbynoor.com if you have any others specific questions! and stay tuned for more amazing posts Happy coloring!

Chanel Le Blanc illuminating base and perfection lumiere fluid foundation

Everybody wants glowing skin who doesn't  love nice dewy skin. Today i am doing a make-up product review on these babies from Chanel.

Chanel Sheer Illuminating Base:

It's a lovely highlighter,base,primer. Its price is 4160 Rupees. This was originally called Chanel Sheer Illuminating Base and came with a spatula but Chanel recently gave this baby a reformation and now it has a slightly different name and it comes with a pump. I have the old bottle because i have been using this product from quite a long time and this small bottle will go a long way as well . I am obsessed with the naturally glowing make-up without looking like rolled out from glitter  and this thing actually gives you nice glow rather than frosty or glittery finish. I've tried it all ways to see where it excels and where it falls down. You can use this under your BB cream, normal moisturiser, foundation It has micro light reflecting particals which highlights your skin.  

My Verdict:

if your skin is good you can use this as primer plus base but if you have some pores you may have to mix this with your primer but over all this thing gives you natural finish.

Chanel Perfection Lumiere Foundation:

This stuff goes on like dream and really has good staying power through the day . I am using this foundation from 7 months and totally love it. The shade i use is 10beige. This is super blendable and don't crack up after few hours. Really good for a night out or dinner date. It hides your itty bitty imperfections and really cover the blue-ness under eyes 

My Verdict:

Actually good product if you don't want to use a concealor but you have to set it up with powder if you have oily skin. Go easy on powder highlighter because this foundation itself gives you a dewy look.

Hello beauties! yesterday's outfit was a retro look i paired few pieces together, you can be creative when choosing a specific theme like add a scarf or tie up your hair in a bun i have long hair so i usually left them open. I love crop tops these days you can pair em up with a pair of jeans or skirts and be creative when dressing up :)

monsoon favorites

Hey girls hope everyone is fine and enjoying monsoon. I am doing a quick monsoon favorites review give me your feedback if you like the post :)

1- Eucerin aquaporin active

2- H&M nail polishes in dark blue and nude colour

3- Clarins white plus smoothing brightening night cream

4- Paul mitchell extra body finishing spray

5- Label M age defying radiance oil

6- Loreal infallible 24 hours foundation

7- Burts Bees intense hydration cream cleanser

Eucerine aquaporin active: 

I have dry to combination skin so i always want something which is hydrating plus oil free and hands down to eucerine aquaporin active . I have been testing the eucerine aquaporin range which has been designed to deeply hydrate and helps skin look healthy and radiant. we don't realise but in summers our skin becomes dull because of de-hydration this moisturiser is actually designed yo restore the water level in skin and keep it looking fresh without clogging the pores and making pimples.

H&M nail polishes in dark blue and nude colour:

They are random nail polishes i picked from h&m the blue one looks black in picture ( excuse my photography skills) it has glitter in it and it looks nice on nails and the other one is nude which looks so soothing in summers.

clarins white plus smoothing brightening night cream:

I like using this cream from my face, neck and hands my nails are not brittle anymore it does not feels heavy on skin and you really feel the difference after using it for two weeks but i make sure that i am going to apply it right before going to bed because if i go out out in humidity having this on my face becomes greasy and oily.

Paul Mitchells extra body finishing spray:

The only hairspray my hair will accept! my hair is very very fine i always want some holding and volumizing spray or gel this thing really works wonders and the small bottle seems to last quite a while.

Label M age defying radiance oil:

I can't live without this product i use this oil after every wash, i take it with me even while i am traveling thats why i lost its cap it actually helps you to grow your hair i tell you how if you are growing your hair or already have long hair just take a pea size amount in your hand and apply on the tips of hair which is usually dry this will calm the frizz, increase the shine and smooth dry hair.

Loreal infallible 24h foundation:

This a dupe of Estee Lauder double wear foundation and is less expensive  it blends better and smoother gives full coverage it comes with two different types one for dry skin and one for oily skin.

Burts Bees intense hydration:

i love Burts Bees from there lip balms to lotions. They are so skin friendly, the products are so mild  and are non greasy. This is a cream cleanser wash you can use it for summers as well as winters.

it removes dirt oil and make-up.
