Sweetpip making ubtan at home is pretty tuff..there are close to 101 ingredients that go in! But a make-do ubtan u can make at home is:

1 cup besan
1/4 cup milk powder
1/2 cup cinnamon
4 tblsps wild turmeric
1/2 almond powder.

Mix the above with either almond oil or olive oil..rosewater..

bisoux

gina i don't remember if i asked you this but how much does moon charge for bridal makeup?
ps you do bridal makeup? but only in dubai right?

pakifairy

none of this stuff works

Gina~

Pakifairy, I have gotten tons of private msg'es thanking me..and ALL of these home remedies work..u just need to be consistent. Moon charges 22,000 bisoux...and yes I handle the makeup in Dubai. If a bride requires I do travel to Pak as well.

Hi Gina,

This is a really interesting thread. I'll make sure i cipy and paste all of your recommendations into a word document so i always have it.

I know you've already put up something with regards to acne (honey & Cinamon) but I wanted to ask for my mom. She gets loads of whiteheads and red spots on her face. We've tried loads of creams and stuff but nothings worked. Is there anything you suggest for her?

Gina~

Pakifairy the girls on the boards will vouch for the treatments and they work. If u prefer the dermatologist and chemicals feel free to use them. But let others try for themselves.

Ugly Sem, you could try besan and yoghurt in equal quantities..and cucumber & aloe vera gel.

nabz

has anyone tried the sandlewood and haldi mixture for scars? where can you find "sandlewood" paste in the US? Is it the same thing as multhani mitti?

Gina~

Nabz, I have made red sandalwood and wild turmeric my weekly regimen and it works Alhamdulilah. Multani mitti is fullers-earth so not the same =)

fullstop

how about drinkin Safi - lol

indopak

isn't sandlewood paste called chandan in most desi stores.

What's Multani Mitthi?

adrasteia

maybe she was wearing foundation

Multani Mitti doesnt make you gora, it is good to use in summer as an exfoliant and it also cools the body down.

Hi Gina, I am getting married in Qatar in June,,, I am not too sure about the bridal make up artists in Qatar. Could you please suggest a really really good makeup artist from Dubai that could travel to Qatar to do my makeup, who also doesnt require too much money for the travelling???? I would appreciate it if you could pleaseeeeeeeeee reply back,,,,

thanks!

hinaks

thanks guys

Gina~

Mizzrani the problem on that girl was that she used a mixture of the same creams that I've warned everyone against..parlours in Pak claim to make to fair and bring abt a even skin-tone using a combo of fair & lovely, retin a, stillman's, archie's etc..

Multani Mitti is fullers earth and has no side effects...

Chandan is sandal paste...Im talking abt red sandalwood powder that u can get from any Indian store =)

Neelum everyone in Dubai is expensive =) if u want sumone to travel that wud be 2,000 dhs for makeup (per day) air ticket, food and accomodation.

neelum4life2006

Hi Gina thanks for the reply,,,

I was thinking of going to Dubai to do my make up from Qatar (Doha),, would that be a bad idea?... I've heard that its only 1 hour away??
Do you think I should consider that?

neelum4life2006

Do you know of any that personally (makeup artists in Dubai) that are good???

Gina~

Sameera from Allure or Sadia are good, I am repeating myself lol I have replied to u're queries in u're other threads =) Tani from Depilex is good too. Qatar is an hour away if u plan on flying down for u're makeup and then flying back for the event...

neelum4life2006

HI GINA!!!
Sorry yaar, I just saw your message right now,,,
Thanks alot for the info,,,
I thought it was just an hour drive but i guess its an hour by plain..
thanks anyway though

Would you have any pictures of Sameera's bridal make up by any chance????

take care

Oh someone told me one very useful thing...
that anyone who reads YA SHAFI and YA NOOR (at least 100-1000 times) and blows it in the milk, honey, or even on their face gives them a natural glow i.e. noor, and shifa in their looks. This girl i know does that and every time i meet her inluding myself i see so many people keep on thinking what she does to her self that she gets attractive by the day, its like all eyes find her appealing and pleasing .

Gina~

I'm sure that works =) har cheez Allah ke naam se shuru..

Hey Gina...its sum really helpful thread that u've started!!! i was wondering if u would know how to fix this problem that i recently got...i have a fair complexion but about a month ago my skin near the lower lips has become darker than the face complexion...do u think it happend because of the threading that i get done on upper lips? or sumthin else....or do u know how to fix it????? thanks a bunch!

shanno

teelobhain

Anything for allergey pimples...i recent had a few (i dont know how and why) near my nose (both sides)...they are very little little...look similar to mosquito bites.

Gina~

Angelic it cud be because of threading or even lip-liner mix equal quantities of glycerine and lemon juice and apply it every night..Inshallah it'll lighten =)

Shanno, use red sandalwood powder, wild turmeric and lemon juice daily on the marks Inshallah they will fade..but u shud have started it earlier =(

shanno

ginaaa what is red sandalwood powder? i mean what will the name be in high strreet indian grocery shops?
wild tumeric meaning haldi??
can you also tell me amounts i need to use in breakdown.. and do i make as paste and how long do i leave on for ect...
im really worried now i dont want it to happen i still have loads of marks when i go... i booked tickets 2day for mid june 08

Gina~

Shanno red sandalwood is sandalwood =) or chandan, available in all desi stores,. Wild turmeric is "kacchi haldi" mix them in equal quantities...with lemon juice and apply only to u're marks.

Methi leaves and Soya (dill) leaves can also be made into a paste and left-on for an hour.
