Beauty Add On

Hi there…this is the middle of the week and I’m here to share with you - one quick tip!

We all love our finger nails long, elegant and chip proof, don’t we? What's more is to it - I recently read that longer finger nails add on to the glam quotient of a girl.

Beauties, now bid goodbye to your brittle nails with Oriflame Beauty Nail Shield.  (7ml; INR 179)

And here’s why I go gaga about the Nail Shield?

J this is hardener, strengthener, protector – all rolled into one!

J it fills the ridges if you have any.

J has strengthening calcium & Vit E – which actually work!

J has natural flesh tone – ideal as a base coat for all nail colors.

J can be applied by itself for that stunning natural sheen.

J dries in 10 secs… flat!!!

It’s worth the money spent & I’m definitely going buy this product again. Coz what’s point to have manicured hands, when the nails are clipped short?

Here’s goes the ingredients list:

Flawless Radiance

Getting a flawless and radiant complexion is every girl’s dream come true. For this very reason we all admire stars and celebrities who essentially flaunt perfect skin tone.

In this 3rd and final feature of ‘You & Diva’ series, I’ll give you the solution for that clear complexion. This is a trademark Even Out whitening complex coming in the Optimals Even Out Day Cream SPF 20. Did you know 1 SPF (Sun Protection Factor) = 10 mins of sun protection. So, 20 SPF gives you protection for 200 mins or 3 hrs & 20 mins; after which you need to reapply.

Why makes Optimals Even Out Day Cream SPF 20 special?

«     Fights existing hyperpigmentation and dark spots with its trademark whitening complex.

«     Contains the essence of licorice plant. This Licorice extract aids in the function of antioxidants. (the plant grows wild in Middle East & southeastern Europe)

«     Has Vit E that makes skin supple.

«     Has UV filter. SPF 20. Prevents photo-ageing.

«     Promises results in 4 weeks…delivers in 2!

«     Suitable for all skin types.

«     Meant for all ages.

Though Optimals Even Out Day Cream SPF 20 comes at INR 690 (50ml); you get it @ 40% off at INR 415 when you shop for INR 500 from May’11 Cat.

Now, you too, can get the skin texture and glow resembling that of your fave celeb! 

Green Green… Evergreen

Fine lines are the first signs of ageing. These start to show up over time as collagen deteriorates. Collagen is the protein that gives skin its strength and elasticity. However, fine lines & wrinkles are no longer restricted to the middle-aged population. This problem can even bother people who are well in their twenties. If you tackle them early, you can easily delay the signs of ageing.

This concern of fine lines and wrinkles is the second feature of the ‘You & Diva’ series. Here, I’m going to talk about a product which was launched in April’11 and has already gathered rave reviews coz of its efficacy. This is Ecollagen [3D+] Energizing Cocktail. {INR 1390; 30ml}

Why I think Ecollagen [3D+] Energizing Cocktail is unique?

{     Has tri-peptide complex which is Oriflame’s patented collagen boosting technology

{     Contains Hyaluronic Acid, a superior skin hydrator & re-plumping agent.

{     This formulation accelerates the skin’s natural collagen production.

{     It works in 3D on wrinkles – length, breadth, depth.

{     Easy to use – this anti-wrinkle serum can be used before your day cream & night cream.

{     Instantly smoothens & hydrates – skin is supple & rejuvenated.

{     Suitable for all skin types, especially dry.

Although this cocktail is recommended for the age group 35+, you can still go for it if you see premature ageing on your face & neck.

Here’s wishing evergreen youth to all you beauties!

I’m sharing with you the secret of looking your glowing best in precisely 10 mins. This is Essentials Face Mask - an Oriflame product launched in April’11 and it surely delivers more than it claims. I can vouch for it coz I’ve, myself, used it and also recommended to friends and they've like it too. 

Why I liked it?

z     Has beauty vitamin E & cotton seed oil with its natural antioxidants.

z     10 min application.
