Deborah Milano Absolute Hi Tech Mascara Review

What the Company claims: New Absolute Hi-Tech Mascara – with a ground breaking patented applicator*. With a revolutionary formula featuring 3D DH Complex for three-dimensional performance and lashes with unrivalled volume, length and definition. The ring-tip applicator captures each and every lash for high-precision results. Enriched with Triple Carbon Black DH Complex for dramatically pure colour, and lash-strengthening Kerastim.

MRP: Rs. 575/- for 12ml

I quite like the brush..its different and catches up and separates each lash.

Notice the zig zag bristles..they separate each lash..and avoids clumping..just two coats and you are done..I love the effect it gives.

Here are the before after pics..

Before
After (2 coats)

Pros:

1. Love the patented brush..it indeed helps in volume and length.
2. Does what it claims.
3. Gives both volume and length..without compromising on the other.
4. I love how it opens up my eyes..just two coats and you are set.
5. Does not clump lashes.
6. Easy to remove.
7. Its not waterproof but it does not wash off or smear even in humidity.
8. The quantity of 12ml is quite good..though its a mascara..so cannot last more than 6 months.

Cons:

1. Not easily available..There are other two mascaras by Deborah Milano which are available online..but not this particular one.
2. A little expensive for a mascara..but for the results it gives..its totally worth it !

I am quite loving it..if you like volume and length without the clumps..you should surely check this out.

New Sensiderma Moisture Soothe by Queen Cosmetics

NEW Sensiderma Moisture Soothe by Queen Cosmetics

Dry, Sensitive Skin Relief!

For mature skin that’s extremely dry, and ever so sensitive to mainstream skin care products, try switching to NEW Sensiderma Moisture Soothe! This lovely light cream is formulated specifically to care for the needs of mature sensitive skin, but particularly for those where sensitivity is combined with extreme dryness, leaving facial skin feeling uncomfortably taut and lacking vitality and elasticity. What makes Sensiderma Moisture Soothe so extra special is the fact that it delivers refreshing, cooling and calming benefits for those that either, don’t like or can’t tolerate, heavier, richer creams.

This almost gel-like formulation is so light it’s readily absorbed by the skin and, crucially, doesn’t leave any greasy residue. Easily penetrating deep into the dermal layers, Sensiderma Moisture Soothe gently delivers a cooling, refreshing injection of nourishment and hydration to help restore moisture levels and improve the skin’s softness, smoothness and suppleness. Ultra-cooling and soothing to delicate sensitive skin, Moisture Soothe also helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and is highly beneficial for those that also suffer from acne rosacea.

Sensiderma Moisture Soothe is the latest addition to the Sensiderma skin care range marketed by parent company, Queen Cosmetics; a brand that has provided specialist skin care solutions to those suffering from skin sensitivity for the last 85 years. As part of the company’s service of providing bespoke skin care products for individuals at their wits end, having exhausted every avenue to seek a suitable product for their specific needs, new Sensiderma Moisture Soothe was born! Based on the original tried and tested formulations created by three eminent dermatologists in 1927 and adopting the company’s philosophy of using as few ingredients as possible to minimise irritation of sensitive skin, Sensiderma Moisture Soothe has proved so popular it’s now available to everyone that has drier, more mature, sensitive skin.

Containing no perfume, essential oils or unnecessary ingredients, Sensiderma Moisture Soothe gently yet effectively moisturises and nourishes even the driest, most sensitive of skins and, above all, in a light, mild manner that won’t inflame the skin. For best results, apply Sensiderma Moisture Soothe after cleansing and toning your face at the start and end of the day. Gently smooth the cream over your face, without pressing or dragging the skin to cause further irritation. Especially created to care for very dry and/or mature skin, this luxuriously light, therapeutic cream provides a refreshing alternative to rich face care products and a comfortable cream that helps the complexion look its best, however sensitive your skin is.

Further Information: Sensiderma Moisture Soothe retails for £15.25 for 50g and is available from specialist stockists, online and by mail order from Queen Cosmetics Limited. For further information contact the company on 01825 768845, email info@queen-cosmetics.com or visit www.queen-cosmetics.com.

Originally created by three eminent dermatologists in 1927, Queen Cosmetics has specialised in caring for the individual needs of those with sensitive skin for 85 years. Understanding just how hard it is for sensitive skin sufferers to find products that suit their individual needs, Queen Cosmetics treats each and every customer as an individual. The company takes the time to discuss a customer’s specific skin problem, if required, and them guides them to the most suitable, effective Queen Cosmetics product for their individual requirements. The company also provides a ‘Try Before You Buy’ facility allowing customers to sample products before making larger purchases and if appropriate to a customer’s needs, will even create bespoke formulations! With Queen Cosmetics you can even choose from a selection of container options for what best suits you and your lifestyle.

What other UK skin care company offers so much, at such a competitive price!

Blunt Bangs and the Style Redefinition

Blunt Bangs and the Style Redefinition


Guest Post
 
In case you are preparing to have a major makeover, you should consider getting blunt bangs. You have a lot of different styles to choose from, including the more subtle ones, or you may also achieve a more dramatic look.

The best thing you could do is to talk to your hairstylist regarding the look that you want to get, and about the hairstyles that are suitable for your facial features. In case you have long hair you could get some layers besides the blunt bangs for the ultimate effect.


If you don’t want to sacrifice the length of your hair, consider a more voguish style that is urban chic and offers your look refinement and glamour. The bangs could do magic for your hair to make your look more interesting.


Why would a person get bangs? Because they offer immediate transformation to just any look, and you don’t have to change your entire hairstyle. In case of the blunt bangs you will have your bangs cut straight across your forehead, temple to temple.


Don’t forget that the bang hairstyle is actually a fringe hairstyle and so you will have to have your bangs straight. There are a lot of different hair products that could help you with this. The hair cutting technique that your hairstylist uses could also have a word to say in the final outcome of the look, and it could make your work easier or harder to style your hair.



In case you don’t want to have long hair, there are also some short hairstyles that allow you to have bangs, such as the pixie hairstyle. There are a lot of elements that could make your hairstyle look more interesting. You could go for the asymmetric styles, and the hair color that you choose also influences your overall look. You should make sure that you get a color that is suitable for your skin tone.

Before you actually get a new haircut, there are a lot of factors to consider. In case of the bangs one of the facial features that influence the final look is your forehead. In case you have a small forehead having bangs might not be the best choice, because they will make your head too small.

On the other hand, if your forehead is too large, having bangs could hide this fault, but in this case you should make sure that the bangs aren’t too long or too short.

Inglot Pastel Collection Nail Enamel 972 Review, NOTD

Inglot Pastel Collection Nail Enamel 972 Review, NOTD

What the Company claims: Durable, high gloss, medium drying time formula

DOES NOT CONTAIN:
– toluene
– formaldehyde
– dibutyl phthalate (DBP)
– camphor

Apply two coats.
Make sure that first coat is completely dry before applying second one.
Some shades look best with three coats.

NOT TESTED ON ANIMALS

15 ML/0.51 US FL OZ


Pastel shades:

MRP: Rs. 490/-

972 is a pretty pastel peachy pink (P4) shade..Inglot has five shades in their Pastel Collection Nail Enamels..I quiet like this peachy pink..Pastels are not something I am in the mood of everyday…but I love pastels at times..And the rest four shades i.e yellow,violet, green and blue are equally nice..

Its toluen, formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) free. Stays well without chipping for 5 days. The only issue is it chips from the centre instead of the edges.

You would require 2-3 coats for it to show up..one coat comes up quiet sheer. These are a little expensive for a nail paint..but 15ml is quite a good quantity too.

If you like pastels..I would surely recommend them.
