Olay Regenerist Product Review

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012

Olay Regenerist contains an Amino-Peptide complex and enhances the production of Collagen, resulting in firmer, younger-looking skin. Some researchers contend that this is more effective but less irritating than Alpha-Hydroxy, making it appropriate for those with sensitivity problems. Anti-oxidants in the formula—Vitamins E and B3—work to protect you from damage caused by sun, wind, and pollutants. Also included are Allantoin, a comforting, calming element, and Green Tea. The uses for Green Tea continue to grow. In tests, it’s been shown to slow the development of wrinkles and lines.

Olay Regenerist is Olay brand’s answer to aging wrinkled skin. It actually leaves skin feeling silky smooth as well as more youthful. Its greasy for super oily skin types. It may plump lines, make skin glow, gentle in nature, also tries to reverse skin damage. It is also known to possess a perfume-like scent. The serum itself comes in a compact white-colored plastic container having a hassle-free and simple to use pump applicator; packaged in a larger black oval plastic wrap exhibiting the Olay logo. This anti-aging product really doesn’t accomplish much for large pores. Try this Olay Regenerist Daily Regenerating Serum first prior to the more expensive department store options, for once you discover the higher end products, you may never choose to get back to this average drugstore choice once more. Olay Regenerist gives advanced appearance correcting anti-aging skin-care products that assist to regenerate skin’s appearance without radical actions.

Maybelline BB Cream Review

Friday, February 17th, 2012
What the Company claims: Discover a Brighter Flawless Natural Look with the New Clear Glow BB Cream from Maybelline New York.The BB cream or the Bright Benefit cream is a revolutionary product that provides thebenefits of a foundation, sun block and a moisturizer minus the problems of each! It gives you a brighter flawless look giving you the confidence to Go Nude, the way nature intended it. A dab of kajal and lip gloss or balm and you’re ready to go. Revolutionizing your skincare regime, this wonder product is an all-in-one revolution with 8 benefits to instantly brighten, eventone, hydrate, conceal, smooth, mattify, freshen and protect with SPF 21/ PA+++.


Available in three easy blend shades perfect for the Indian skin tone, the BB Cream transforms your skin effortlessly, affordably and beautifully. Just the thing for the Girl on the go; contains healthy minerals for 8 in 1 skin benefits.

The oil-free formula keeps skin hydrated for up to 24 hours and the SPF21/PA+++ protects the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. It covers like a foundation and hides flaws and imperfections without feeling heavy on the skin.
This instant skin perfecting cream comes in a compact, travel-friendly 18 ml squeeze tubeand is available in 3 unique earth shades –  01 Nude (darkest), 02 Radiance (mid) and 03 Natural(lightest).

They do not claim this as Blemish Balm but as Bright Benefit Cream..its a very small tube..almost the size of your ring finger..The thing good about the Maybelline BB Cream is that it does not have a single shade being grayish or one that looks white and ashy..instead they have enough yellow undertones and quite match the Indian skin tones.

You need just a pea sized amount for the whole face and you can blend it with fingers too. It has a small nozzle tip which dispenses just the right amount. It gives a little whitish cast coz it has SPF 21..but it goes away with a little blending..and it matches your actual skin tone in a few minutes.

It stays for a good 7-8 hours and gives a nice dewy finish..the coverage is similar to a Tinted Moisturizer, but it’s a little thicker comparatively. It has a nice fruity smell. If you have very dry skin. You may need a moisturizer beneath..for me it works as it is too. The T zone does get a little shiny after a few hours but a pressed powder would solve the problem.


Pros:
1. Perfect for everyday use.
2. Gives light to medium coverage..evens out the skin tone.
3. Has SPF 21 and offers PA+++ protection.
4. Gives a nice dewy finish.
5. Blends in a jiffy..and with fingers too..not much time needed.
6. Travel friendly tube.
7. Economically priced.
8. Available easily at all Maybelline counters.
9. Stays for a good 7-8 hours.

Cons:
1. It would have been better if the quantity was a little more..around 25ml.
2. The shades should have been numbered properly..its very confusing.

Beauty Formulas Product Review

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011

 

This attractive and comprehensive selection of clear skin products covers a wide range of skin cleansing and healing applications. It includes washes, cleansers, moisturizers and scrubs as well as a treatment for spots.

This clear skin range by Beauty Formulas is extremely effective in cleansing the skin and making it soft and supple. The face masks and eye pads are especially very convenient to use and give great results. And the best part is that they aren’t even very expensive! They can easily save you a trip to the parlour. All of these products are very gentle on the skin and with regular use bring about a glow to the face. Other hygiene and dental care products by Beauty Formulas are equally good and effective. The brand is relatively well known in the UK, however, in India, New U stores exclusively stock their products.
