I was discussing this matter a few days back with my colleagues. One of the girls said that coconut oil makes skin dark!! I was quite surprised because a long time back some body had said that besan (chickpea flour) also turns the skin dark! I was pretty sure that this statement was equally a myth. But, then, I decided to google a bit on it. I did not really find any thing useful!!

It just says that coconut oil is amazing for hair and skin and all. I have been using coconut oil for like, a month, now. I mainly use coconut oil to remove the sunscreen from my face, neck and arms. I haven’t noted any discoloration or pigmentation recently.

In fact, my skin has become more plump and more hydrated and my skin has started to glow. When I had dry patches, I had hoped that coconut oil would be able to make it fine but that was something I could not achieve but then it was the product which was making the skin dry.

Remember how I had been talking about cysteine and hair color for the last 6 months? If you are really thinking of getting it done, I would suggest you to wait for the hair diary coming right across in few days. I am having second thoughts about the entire procedure now that I am oiling my hair again and have been taking care of it like I used to. But, I have to say that these chemical treatments did make me discover some fabulous products and this range is one of them.

Earlier, Organic Surge was my favorite but deFabulous has replaced every other shampoo-conditioner duo in my bathroom. I do feel that organic surge makes my hair frizzy but I am not really sure about it since I was not diligently taking care of it either. Anyways, let us check out what I think about the product.

~~So, before proceeding, I would like to mention that since I am not supposed to oil my hair, I really can NOT comment on whether the product removes oil or not.~~ This does not hold true anymore. I did get my hair colored sometime in July but now the color has gone off. So, I finally oiled my hair first time in November after months. The shampoo cleans the scalp and hair really well.

Maybelline Baby Lips Candy Wow Cherry Lipbalm Product Review

Very recently, I developed a fetish for red lips. I so badly wanted to carry the boldest red available in the market and I did swipe the Mac Ruby Woo. Probably there is just too much blue which made me look more like a harlot than a girl who could carry the red. And, unfortunately, it did not survive my lunch which made me get over the fetish as soon as I jumped on it.

And, then, suddenly, I got this gem of a lip balm which fulfilled my urge for painted lips. That was Electro Pop from the Baby Lips range which gives a lovely pink shade. And, a few days later, Maybelline came up with the Candy Wow range. These lip balms come in a crayon format and their tubes are bright candy colored tubes which look pretty attractive.
