Product Breakdown: Drugstore Deodorants
Hey READERS!!
..hope you'all are doin great!
Today I was walking down the isle of my drugstore and noticed one thing...well i did not notice it until after I got home..but it all started from that isle od the store..=p
So anyways, I have been on a hunt for a really good deodorant for a while now..and while looking for a deodorant my sister asked me to try a certain deodorant and i rejected it saying it only looks good but it sucks!!lol
It clicked me as i reached home that how many times has it been that we go to the drugstore to find any new product and get caught up in wither the price range, or the packaging, or the gimmicky false overstated products which in the end are not worth our money or choice ...
Not only this but also ...so many products get un noticed from our sight due to so many reasons which can actually be so much better than the ones we buy over and over again assuming that this is all the market is providing...
well, I dont know about you guys but I have definitely gone through stages when I have ignored such great products from right in front of my sight...and have totally given into products that wouldnt even be worth looking at..
So this is going to be a series on drugstore Beauty products that are worth and worth not trying.
So I am going to be posting at least 3 times a week for this month reviewing (very briefly) whether the product is worth a try or not..
Alright so lets begin with this 1st product...
since I am a huge addict to nice scents and a phobia-tic to smelling bad..it shouldnt come as a surprise when I say I have almost tried all of the drugstore deodorants...However I am going to be talking about a couple I have on hand and I am currently using...
(Disclaimer: reason why I bought so many deodorants was because I usually like t stock up on my grocery and other belongings so I have to only visit the store once or twice a month instead of visiting it once a week or whatever...)
Since I had bought so many different kinds I decided to try each one of them...lol
So I have been using these deo's for a while now..hoping from one to the other...:p
I have recently been obsessed with dove..as I loved their shower gels from the go fresh line...
I decided to give their matching deodorants a try as well...
I must say the packaging is quite good...I am impressed with it because usually in roller balls what happens is that the product gets settled in the base and fails to touch the ball hence you either have to shake to get it t the top or if youre like and get tired of it...you throw it away wasting whatever's left in the bottle...
Dove has come up with a good solution of packaging the bottle upside down which helps the product to stay close to the ball...availing every single drop of it..:)
It is also very sleek and quite small...so it fits nicely in your purse or bag making it travel friendly..for me my swimming bag...
However, I just HATE the fact that it claims to stay on for 24 hours but fails to even stay for 6...:(
which is very sad because I honestly love the scents..but I must say their staying power is beyond weak..:(
Nevertheless, back in winters when I would use it...i did not almost never, I recall (as I would swear by their staying power) had to re apply it...but in summers it definitely can not be the very best friend of yours..=p
Now the question is whether I will purchase it again??
YES I would..just because I carry it in my purse with me..and I re apply it whenever possible...as I love the scents..:)
I would however, rate this product on a scale of 1 to 10 ...(10 being the best) as a 6.5.
There are two reasons why you purchase a deodorant...1. for its scent and 2. for an anti-perspirant. it passes in one but fails in another(but keeping in mind..that it did not fail on me in winters)...Thus a 6.5!!
Talking about their aerosol sprays I would rate them as 7 as I love their scents specially the red one....OMGGG its just amazing!!
It smells almost like a garden with an overpowering rose (on me at least..)
So that is my third bottle..:p
Where staying power is concerned yes it does stay on for a decent amount of time...I can say if not 24 hours ..definitely for 18...which isn't bad at all!! provided you apply it on your body and a generous amount!!
The price is definitely affordable...not expensive just the regular drugstore pricing..:)
Adidas and Nike deodorants are a favorite of mine!!
I have been using them since a year now...this is my 3rd or 4th bottle..of each!! lol
I am crazily obsessed with scents...llol
watch my whats in my bag blog and youll prolly know what I am talking about...=p
My favorite is the dark green bottle from adidas just love ittttt :D
I would give them an 8 as their scents are good so are their staying power..:)
Since my blog is beauty related I'll stick to reviews like these for products in this category..and maybe here and there I'll add other fun products as well...:)
Haven't seen my what is my bag blog??
Here is a direct link that'll take you there..:)

DIET PLAN!
hey readers!
this is to bring to your attention of my current diet program.
like other hundreds and thousands of diet program followers...
let me inform you that i am not one of them.
i strongly believe in losing the natural way.
i dont just speak against all that ...but speak from experience.
I have been on sooooo many diets...lost weight..exercised..maintained..but never reached my goal..
gave up sooner than i could ever reach up for my goal..
REASON??
all the same...just couldnt deal with all the crushing anymore..
so this time i have thought of a plan..
InshAllah i will lose weight the natural weight..
i recently ( by an ayurvedic doctor) came across this piece of information on black onion seeds..
also known as Nigella sativa...
all i do is when i wake up in the morning...i chew about a pinch of these raw without eaten anything prior to it..and a cup of black tea subsequently.
The seeds are bitter and quite dry..thus it will take time for you to get used to the taste..but once you do...trust me..it'll all be worth it..:)
it has done a good job for me when i was taking my LLB exams ...i ate a lottt...
like all crap junk...i did not loose weight...
but hey..i dint gain any either...
which is amazing...
since i was so much on junk i went one step ahead and would have them twice a day..
right after getting up
before going to bed
so now im back from my vacations...and i am going to get back on to track...
gotta shed off the pounds!!...
Black seeds - diet control - exercise = weight loss!
diet control is not this time for me going to be a crazy CRASH dirt diet..with which i get fed up with and leave before reaching my goal..
it is obviously going to not consist of junk and sweets...but here and there once in 10 days or so...
i guess a break wouldnt be of much harm..
at least it would keep me on track( inshAllah)
10th of july im welcoming a new beginning...
P.S:
i dont suggest everybody hops onto this ...it will be nice to research first and then start as it is good to know what works for you and what doesnt..
for me this works...and i am no expert in all this..
just sharing my experience...
follow this only if you have taken an experts opinion..or on your own risk!
thank you...

13. Guilty Pleasure OMGGGGGGG...this one is big!! lol And it is to put cream cheese in a BIG and by big I seriously mean big...=p bowl put huge scoops of vanilla ice cream and mounted tablespoon fulls of peanut butter (..and it just doesn't stop here....=p) along with home-made caramel sauce toffee sauce and salted almonds!! there you go...that is my guilty pleasure..!!I haven't had one in a really reaaly long time..and as I write it down im scared the hell out if I might just go downstairs and fix myself one..as my result comes out day after tomorrow...and i am freaking out...and since I haven't had one in a long time I may just talk myself into one...

Jewelry Organisation
This is my jewelry organisation video...It is so compact and I feel it holds so much more jewelry than what I have done all my life...Like holding them in little wallets or boxes that they come in...
It also, I feel used to hold a lot of my jewelry out of your sight...therefore I could not take good use out if it....This however keeps them nice and secure and all in one spot makes it easier to match it with whatever I'm wearing...
I want to say one thing, this is not real jewelry...I just like wearing big chunky big statement pieces...and I don't wear necklaces just because I cover my head and the scarves I wear hides my neck area...
Other disclaimer is that this box does not hold all of my stuff so a few ear rings are kept away in a kit...
Different angles of the jewelry box:
As you can see...it has a lot of drawers..which I really like as it takes less space and holds more..:)
This is my jewelry:
This is something very neat...It has a small travel box...and I absolutely love about this..:)
Hope you like it:) *~
