When Maybelline Newyork released their Lip Polish range in India, I picked the shade Pop 1 instantly. I am not a big fan of lip glosses (They always made my already big lips bigger!) but this particular shade allured me and I had no choice other than picking it. I’ve been using this lip polish for quite sometime now and today I am going to share my views on it.

Hello All!
In recent times, chemical free products (SLS & Paraben free) are getting notable among everyone. Be it shampoos, soaps or body washes.. The one without too many chemicals grabs our attention. There were years we don’t even inspect into the ingredient list of whatever product we buy. I am happy that the trend is changing!
I got to know about the Soap Opera brand and their Puresense range of soaps recently and I found them impressive. Their soaps are free from Supfate and paraben. They come in different variants. I don’t usually go for soaps as they make my skin dry and dehydrated. I use my homemade bath powder or body washes, on the lazy days. I somehow got convinced with these soap bars because of the fact they are free of chemicals. Lets check more about them today!

“Which shampoo should I use with MABH Fast Growth Hair Oil?”
I’ve been asked this question over 1000 times literally in the last 6 months! I know I am very late posting this article; (I can hear you all bashing at me inside your head) I really apologize to everyone of you for the delay! Lately I have been both busy and ill. 🙁 The bad weather and some personal worries took a toll on me and I had been very depressed and gloomy. I Now that I am getting better, I am sharing this post will you all with a list of SLS and paraben free shampoos I collected.
Before you go through the list, I would like to suggest a natural alternative to your regular shampoo. It is a non lathering, powdered hair cleanser, but still a NATURAL recipe. It doesn’t contain SLS, paraben, silicone or something harsh. And gives you fabulous results if used regularly. If you can adjust with the non-lathering factor, go ahead and try the recipe at home. I’ve mentioned about our hair wash powder in my mom’s hair growth journey post. Its not the exact recipe because we add many herbs and other ingredients to the actual one to increase its effectiveness, as it is a long (costly!) process. Now what I share is the a base recipe of it. It works good too! (Its VERY much better than the lathering shampoos) It is easy to make and you can do it yourself in minutes.
Dry the ingredients in sunlight for 5-6 hours. And finely grind them all together! The process is over. If you want a more finer powder (which is more easy to rinse off) then you can sieve the powder and store it in an air tight container. You can also prepare it in huge quantities but make sure you use it within 6 months. My mom told me she used this powder for years from her childhood and they used to make it in kilograms for their big family. So try it at home and let me know how it worked. If you are a lazy lass, then wait for me to put up the more effective ‘herbal’ hair wash powder for sale on our site 🙂 It is an improved version, with herbs and hair growth, hair softening ingredients present in it!
P.S: You have to mix the prepared powder (shikakai, green gram, fenugreek mixture) with curd/milk and two drops of any pure oil (optional; do this only if you have dry hair). If you have heavily oiled your hair, you should do two rinses with it. I always do two rinses with my hair wash powder if I oil my hair. For my classic length hair, I use 2-3 heaped teaspoons if I oil and only 2 teaspoons on non-oiled hair. It controls hair fall, cleanses hair thoroughly, reduces dandruff, promotes hair growth and makes hair shinier with regular usage.
