How To Do A Facial At Home Using Inveda Facial Kits

A facial is very relaxing when done at the parlour by a trained professional. But for women like me who are always short on time for self pampering, INVEDA has launched easy to use home facial kits.

Last year when I was traveling to the US and wanted something that I could take with me for an instant lift me up for my skin, I took along two variants - The Argan Oil & Dragon Fruit facial kit, and the passion fruit and silk protein facial kit.

These INVEDA facial kits include ingredients like Passion Fruit Oil which protects from damange caused by free radicals, argan oil, panax ginseng extract which improve complexion, ashwagandha extract that prevents fine lines and works against blemishes; Vitamin C known for its action against hyperpigmentation; Vitamin B3 - a very common ingredient in skin care treatments, dragan fruit extract to fight signs of aging etc.

Each kit is priced at Rs 225

Both the kits are very similar and I'll be using pictures of the Passion Fruit & Silk Protein facial kit for this review.

INVEDA facial kits come in a small box with 5 sachets each. This is a one time use facial kit consisting of a cleansing cream, a face scrub, a massage cream, a face pack and a protective serum.

Twin Nails Challenge - Dragon Fruit Nail Art

After what seems like ages I finally have some nail art on the blog. I'm part of a nail art enthusiastic group on Facebook called Those Nails Though. This group came up with a twin nails challenge and the theme was fruits.

I was paired up with Xochitl Ayala who is famous on Instagram as gurlynailz - Xochitl does amazing nail art. I love her immaculately well kept nails and her eye-catching nail art. Do visit her on instagram to see her amazing nails.

So Xochitl showed me a few pictures that we could use as inspiration - and a picture of the Dragon Fruit caught my attention. Such bright colors that I instantly agreed to it. We decided on a rough sketch of how we will do the mani and left the rest to our imagination.

So the first picture is my attempt at this mani. I have captured the cut portion of the fruit on all nails except the accent finger where I wanted to add the bright green touch. I created little dry marbled decals to give a sort of 3D effect but they just stuck to my nails so there is no 3D effect anymore but I like how it looks merged into the base color.

Take a look!

The polishes I used are:
Maybelline  ColorShow Hooked On Pink
Maybelline ColorShow Sunshine Yellow
Madam Glam Neon
A local black and white polish

Now Xochitl did the same basic design but a more neater version and I just love her long nails! You can tell that she is a seasoned nail artist!

Overall I had fun doing this challenge. I have made so many friends from across the globe where we have connected due to nail art. And Xochitl is a really nice girl I've come to know through this #tnttwinnails challenge.
