Hare Lipstick


So my friend went to morocco this summer and she got me some goodies. One of them being the 'Hare lipstick'. First I thought what's up with the funky colors? And when I opened them they looked like fake lipsticks, I was confused. I thought that it was a toy. So I tried one on and it was actually quite creamy, but the pigmentation was poor, i thought. BUT NO ! Instead of fading, the color actually changed and it lasted trough out the whole day. I was really impressed with this product! 




Apparently the colorshade changes according to the body chemistry, so it depends on your body on what color/shade it will change into. 



After a short while the color enhanced




1st : Green
2nd : purple
3rd : red

Where can i get one ?
As I've said, I've received this as a gift from my friend who went to Morocco. But you can get one on eBay.

My opinion :
It lasted me trough out the whole day so I am satisfied. The lipstick is not dry, its quite creamy but it's not a moisturizer . The only thing that i didn't like about the lipstick is the packaging, it looks cheap and it's not solid. 


Good luck to you and take care of that gorgeous face of yours. <3

Let me introduce you to the miracles of Ghassoul !


Let me introduce you to the miracles of Ghassoul !

You're probably thinking ' what the shizz is this person talking about? ' Weelll, i'm talking about ghassoul or as i call it my life savior.


What the shizz is this Ghasoul thing?


Ghassoul; comes from the Arabic word "rassala" that means "washing’
Ghassoul(or Rhassoul) is a natural, multi functional volcano clay ( it sounds scary but bare with me here). It is originated from Morocco and it is mostly used by the Moroccan people for beauty; as a facemask, hair mask, etc. ... , you can practically use it for your whole body! No joke ! It is harmless and it puryfies the skin and scalp. It also makes you hair shine without effecting the keratine on your hair and it's a 100% natural and ecologic product and perfect for every skin/hairtype.
Nowadays, ghassoul is used in spa's as a deep cleanser. It also absorbs the oils and dirt off your skin. What can I tell you, it is a miracle of God ! HALLELUJAH !
It probably has more benefits, but i'm not a ghassoul professor so don't sue.


How to use it?


Standart, for any bodypart


















This is the way I use it
Take a few Ghassoul stones and put it in hot water, let it set for a few minutes until it looks like creamy mud( stir if needed). Then spread it on your face or body or whatever bodypart you want to put it on.
Some people say that you should remove it after 10 minutes but I let it sit until its hard, dry and when i see some 'cracks' (sometimes 20 minutes or longer!)
Remove the ghassoul with a washcloth and warm water ( not too hot though, you don't want to burn your face) and after that, moisturize the part where you applied the ghassoul.


A lil' sumtin' sumtin' for your hair

If you want to deepcondition your hair naturally than fallow these steps :
You will need:
- Argan oil
- Almond oil
- Olive oil
- Aloƫ vera oil
- Castor oil
- Coconut oil
- Ghassoul


Take a few ghassoul stones and put it in a bowl. 
Pour a bit water into the bowl, but not too much. 
Add +/- a tablespoon of every oil listed obove in the ghassoul mixture.
Add more water if needed.
When the the ghassoul & oil mixture looks all creamy, apply it on your hair ( dry or damp, whatever works for you. I use it on dry hair).
I mostly leave it for a couple of houres (5-6) until it's its dry but again, whatever works for you.
Hop into the shower, wash the ghassoul off and do your regular shampoo routine.
( you are not obligated to use all the oils listed above, that just works for me. also you can also use just 1 kind of oil.)


Where can I buy it?


I've gor mine from a friend who went to morocco.
But there are sites where you can buy it from( i'm sorry I can't give you a link to a site where i've never purchased from) 
And try to buy the pure one ( the stones), they have no chemicals in them what so ever, those are the best !





My opinion


As I said, a life savior ! This is the only kind of mask that I'll use for my face, hair and body. My skin looks smooth and my hair shines! I can not recommand this enough !
NOTE: and one more thing ; when you will use it for the first time on your face, your face will look a bit red but that's totally fine, it will go away eventually so no worries about that.
Also I recommand to use it before you go to sleep, because when you'll wake up you will fall in love with your skin/hair!




I hope that you will try it, and let me know how it worked out for you, it's worth it though !
Good luck to you and take care of that gorgeous face of yours. <3
