Manicure set - Faces Manicure set review and pictures Posted: 02 Dec 2010 08:47 PM PST By Adivaah, On my recent trip to the Hyderabad Central, I saw this mini Manicure set & without any thought I picked it up. This Manicure Set (kind of a travel manicure set )is from the Company Faces Canada which also manufactures make up and other stuff! This Manicure Set is actually a pack of 5 which includes the Nail cutter for shortening nail length Buffer for buffing the nails smooth and shiny Cuticle pusher for pushing the cuticle or excess skin off the nail Emery board or nail file for shaping and smoothing the edge of the nail and a Tweezer Price of faces Manicure set pack of 5 is Rs 130 INRWhat does manicure mean? Manicure is derived from the Latin words manus, meaning hand and cura, meaning care. Why do we have manicures?It keeps the nails smooth, the skin soft, improve the appearance of the hands and keep the cuticles attractive and most importantly the nails healthy. Our hands are a part of our body that we tend to take for granted. Just think of what you put them through every day! How to do a manicure? 1. Remove old polish from nails-use a cotton ball or pad with remover. Place on nail and hold for approximately 5 seconds, then wipe down to tip of finger. Continue in this manner until all polish is removed, then move on to next finger. Do not wipe side to side, or back up to the top of the nail. Doing this will push polish into skin and cuticle, making it hard to remove. Remove polish from one entire hand, then the other. Non-acetone polish remover is recommended. It is not as drying to skin and nails as acetone, but use whichever you prefer. 2. File and shape nails. Using the emery board or file, shape the nails of one hand, then the other. File from one side of nail to centre, then other side to centre. Do not file back and forth-this can cause splitting and weak nails. 3. Place one of the hands with nails filed into fingerbowl to soak for 2-3 minutes. This is done for a few reasons-it softens the cuticle, making it easier to push back, it cleans the nails, and it helps to remove any excess polish remover. Caution--always file nails before soaking. Never file nails that are wet or damp. Nails absorb water, and if they are filed while wet, splitting, breakage and weak nails can occur. Be sure to use comfortably warm water in your fingerbowl, with your antibacterial soap. 4. At the end of soaking time, use nail brush to clean tops of nails and under nails. Gently brush down to tip of nail over fingerbowl for a few strokes. 5. Dry each hand with a towel, gently pushing back each cuticle with towel as you dry. 6. Apply cuticle remover. Cuticle remover is a moisturizing lotion used to aid in softening the skin on the nail and pushing it back. Just apply one drop to each cuticle and massage in. Do one hand at a time. 7. Push back cuticles using the orangewood stick, metal pusher or plastic pusher. Apply a bit of pressure as you push the skin off up to base of nail. Do one hand then the other. 8. Clean under nails using your orangewood stick or pusher. Wrap a thin piece of cotton around the end, and dip into your fingerbowl. Run this under the edge of each nail, changing cotton as needed. 9. If no polish is wanted, at this point you may buff the nails to bring out the shine. moving the buffer in a downward motion to the tip of the nail. Work at a slight angle and down, alternating strokes on the nail from left to right, as if you are making an X on the nail. Note--if you buff in one direction only, you can create a heated sensation in the nail which can be painful. Always use the X technique to avoid this. Instructions to Use: It has pictorial illustration for usage My Experience with the Manicure Set: The nail cutter is very small but sturdy & can be used to shorten the nail to a length you desire. The nail file is also of very good quality & is not too sharp or too gentle, but after usage one has to clean it because there are traces of the powder left. The pointed end of the file can be used to clean the area under the nails. The cuticle pusher is made of plastic & is very gentle, not much of pressure is required to push back the cuticle, and it can be done easily. The other end of the pusher is shaped little flat to remove any traces of dead skin near the cuticles easily. The buffer is not of a very good quality, it doesn't buff the nails so well, doesn't give any sheen, the nails shine just a little bit. This is little difficult to clean because traces of the nail powder stick to the emery board & doesn't get wiped off by a tissue or a cloth. The Tweezer is made of very good quality metal & is easy to use. Final Word: Be gentle whenever you do manicure girls! I'm quite happy with the manicure set because it's very travel friendly compact kit with a nice plastic case which has a flap & all items are well placed in its 4 partitioned sections & a small chain in case you want to hang it somewhere. All the items are of good quality, rust free except for the buffer which is too gentle to buff & traps some nail powder as well! This is light weight, can be carried along with you in a bag for those unexpected times when your nail chips or breaks! Will I repurchase this? I think this set will stay good for long time but it's worth the buy! I'm going to try other products from FACES soon! Do let me know if you guys have any other manicure sets that work well for you!

Neutrogena Skin Clearing Foaming Wash is back (review and swatches ) Posted: 02 Dec 2010 05:54 AM PST Neutrogena Skin clearing foaming is back!!! Skin clearing - Neutrogena is my favorite brand I started using face wash when I was 18 and Neutrogena - Skin Clearing Foaming Wash was my 1st face wash that I have used. A year back they discontinued the Skin Clearing Foaming Wash don't know what was the reason and because of that I was too disappointed but now its back on the shelf & I have started using it again...yuppy. I just love it not only face wash but the entire Neutrogena product which I have used and using at present. Price of Neutrogena skin clearing foaming wash is Rs 280 for 175 ml What product claims:- Neutrogena - Skin Clearing Foaming Wash is a refreshing oil-free face wash that is effective on pimples-prone skin. It thoroughly washes away dirt, excess sebum & dead skin cells while fighting problems of pimple-prone skin and caring for the skin. For consistently clear and healthy-looking skin. *Effective on pimple-prone skin:- Salicylic acid & natural plant extracts unclog pores to help control skin problems. *Cares for the skin:- Skin conditioners cal and smooth problem skin. Foams instantly to gently cleanse without drying the non pimple-prone areas of the face. Direction for use:- Use twice a day. Wet your face. Dispense into your hands and massage onto face gently. Rinse thoroughly. If bothersome drying, reduce application to once a day or every other day. My review:- Fantastic product for keeping blemishes at bay and leaves my skin soft and supple. It is not drying even though it contains salicylic acid, yet gentle enough for daily use. The dispenser is in the form of foam, very pleasant to use and it has a beautiful fragrance. Mainly this face wash is for acne prone skin…but though I don't have acne problem still it's suiting me well… this face wash removes all the dead cells and keep your skin clean. Pros:- Fantastic product for keeping blemishes at bay. Give your skin a clean feel by removing all dirty, dead cells and gives you soft, smooth skin. It's easy to carry in your bag. Very pleasant fragrance. A bottle last for literally ages if used by a single person. Cons :- According to me it's none because this is the best face wash I have ever come across…..and my skin is in love with it. Worth a buy:- Definitely! Rating :- 5/5 P.S - If you want to review some product or work for wise she then mail us at anamika(at)wiseshe(dot)com. You might like reading these also |
Hair volume – All about hair volume Posted: 02 Dec 2010 01:08 AM PST By Eiti , Hello every one!!! I am literally obsessed when it comes to hair and after reading so many hair care post on wise she I wanted to contribute bit of my knowledge in this section. When we talk about hair volume, it typically refers to the number of hair per square inch. A very simple trick to find out the volume of your hair is to pull your hair back and make a pony tail.If you find the pony tail very slim then your hair volume is thin .You have thin hair if your scalp is easily visible when they are went. If your pony tail is "two – fisted" and appears exactly like a horse tail then that means you have thick hair volume. Similarly if your scalp is not visible when your hair is wet then your hair is thick volume type. In case if someone falls in between the two categories then she has probably a medium hair volume type which is the most common hair volume. Below are type of hair volume and the concerns which are related to them. 1. Hair style for thin volume hair 1 .Hair volume - Thin – Very thin hair are weightless and fly away.Most of the time it is difficult to curl the thin hair easily and adding volume to the hair is difficult task too. People who have silky hair generally go for blunt hair cuts. Few drying techniques which includes combing and drying from the roots of the hair add volume to the hair. Those who have thin hair should avoid permed and if they do they handle them with extra care to avoid damage. 2. Hair style for medium volume hair2,.Hair volume – Medium – This one is the most common and manageable hair volume. This type of hair is quiet versatile one is loaded with option when it comes to choose a style for themselves. Medium volume hair can hold curls and take well to chemical processes like hair coloring, perms etc. If you are lucky enough to have medium hair volume then you can experiment with variety of hair styles. 3. Hair style for thick hairHair volume - Thick – These hair are hard to manage and are blessing to those who have slim face or slim frame. It can be a head ache for few and they might like to reduce the volume for their hair but such problems can be easily dealt with a light hair cut. Layer hair cut gives better shape to thick volume hair. Having layered cut in short or medium length are considered best for thick hair. Thick hair people too can experiment easily with many hair care products. You might like reading these also |
