Pores - skin pores/open pores home remedies (Video tutorial)

Posted: 18 Nov 2010 11:29 PM PST


 Large pores or open pores are some thing which most of us deal with .Large skin pores are usually genetic and inherited from family members. This problem is faced by oily skin people the most because of the excess sebum production by the skin.Large pores can not be completely removed but yes they can be reduced temporarily if we take good care of them.

Open pores should be kept clean otherwise dirt in the pores leads to pimples , black heads and many other unwanted  monsters. :D.A gentle face scrubber with a face pack tones up the skin .



If you just let them go then size of the pores will start increasing only.Applying toners, tightening face packs or face masks helps keeping the skin fresh , clean and prevents the pores from getting larger.


 Natural ingredients are always the most effective and inexpensive way to get rid of the problem.Here is a Face pack for open pores which worked for me.This pack was also used by brides before getting married too as it helps in improving complexion or skin lightening.

Just to make things interesting I made a small video .




Hope you enjoyed the video.

P.S- Bobby out and so is Sameer.I don't know what to say on this.. Was it justified?



Makeup Remover - Lakme nine to five dual -Action Makeup remover review

Posted: 18 Nov 2010 08:01 PM PST

                                                            Eye makeup remover
 By Ele, 

Hi beauties. As we know the importance of applying makeup we should also give more importance in removing it in the right way and  with the right products. Most of friends simply avoid this step of removing makeup; they simply wash their face with face wash which actually does not remove all the traces of makeup! If you are investing in good makeup products please do the same in case a makeup remover also. Today I am going to review the Lakme Nine to Five Dual-Action makeup remover.

Let me introduce you to the product first


Product description from Lakme: 

This twin-phase makeup remover has a unique formulation that gently but thoroughly removes all kind of makeup, including long-wearing makeup.

Price of Lakme nine to five dual action makeup remover is  Rs. 295 for 120 ml


Directions to use:

1. Shake well.
2. Saturate cotton pad and gently sweep over closed eyelids, lip and face area.
3. Rinse with cool water.

Important: Cap tightly after use to prevent evaporation.

Caution: Rinse with cool water if product enters eyes.

Ingredients:

Aqua, Cyclomethicone, Isohexadecane, d-Panthenol, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Caprylyl / Capryl Glucoside, dimethicone, sodium Chloride, disodium EdTa, dipotassium Hydrogen Phosphate, fragrance, Phenoxyethanol, dmdm Hydantoin (and) Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate.

Shelf life is 2 years


The packaging is very okayish. It comes in a light pink spray bottle. As the name suggest it comes in dual phase and  the product turns translucent when shaken.

My experience with the product:
Likes:
• It does what it claims, removes all traces of makeup be it waterproof mascara, long lasting lipstick, foundation anything.
• If used regularly it will last for about a month and two.
• Removes makeup with ease
• Very hygienic packaging
• Smell is very light
• Does not irritate eyes
• Not expensive
Dislikes:
• The face becomes slippery after using it but once you rinse with water its gone
• Packaging is dull
Other than this Lakme Nine to five dual- action remover is one of the

best makeup removers

which is affordable and  has great quality.If you are a makeup freak, this is the must-have product in your kitty!

Have you tried any other eyemake up remover or do you believe in natural makeup remover?

Loreal cosmetics - Loreal paris 6H glam shine gloss (Product review , swatches and pictures)

Posted: 18 Nov 2010 03:58 AM PST

                                               Loreal Paris 6h  glam shine gloss brillance review

I am not that fond of loreal lipsticks but recently loreal have brought some amazing products with them.Glam shine lip gloss is among one of them.This is shimmery and have high  shine but it is not super shimmery,  it is just subtle shimmery which most of us are fond off.

Glam shine loreal is promoted by Aishwarya and like her lip gloss to comes in a stylish looking bottle which has a slight curve in the middle which makes it easy to hold. Bottle has a silvery lid which catches the light and has a lovely shine to it.


    Loreal lip gloss is visible through the bottle but it is not very deep brown in shade as it looks like in the bottle.It has very little fleck of shimmer in it.
.

Price of Loreal 6H glam shine is gloss brillance is Rs 750 and net content of the product is 6ml.

It comes in following shades


1. Keep The Sweet (112)
2. Perpetual Paraline (308)
3. Perennial Rose ( 113) 
4. Immortal Pearl (004)
5. Irresistible Grapes ( 209)
6. Infinite Desert (307)
7.Tempting Pink (114)
                          

Below are the swatches of perpetual paraline





It comes with a heart shaped wand which is attached to the lid.It works best for me as I just wipe the applicator on the rim of the bottle if I don't want much of lip gloss.


Generally lip gloss which claims to stay for  hours on lips are too sticky but this one is not.It stay on my lips for 4 hours easily even if I eat or drink something  in between ,  it do not make my lips feel too sticky.

It is quiet smooth in application and gives a shiny tint to my lips which I can wear during day as well as night time.


This is me with the lip shine 

As I was wearing this during the day I applied  Colorbar Terra 006 lipstick and dabbed some loreal lip gloss over it. It brought instant shine to my lips without making them look OTT.

Loreal Lipgloss  are not super shimmery as they look like.You can check out my pic here when I have used just the lip gloss on my lips.


Dislikes - Loreal claims that it stays for six hours but it stays only for 3-4 hour on my lips.

Price ofcourse is on the higher side but most of the loreal products do fall in the high end category after all dear Aishwarya is promoting them


Recommendation - If you are looking for slight shimmer then you can buy this lip gloss .
