Lakme 9 to 5 Lip Color Peony Goal Review, Swatches

I had mentioned about the new Lakme 9 to 5 Office Stylist Range HERE

Peony Goal is one of the lipsticks from this new range..

What the Company claims: Lakmé 9 to 5 range consists of a wide collection for daily office wear with subtle shades that require no touch-ups through the day, providing an impeccably styled look and allowing a hassle-free transition from the desk to the office party.

Combines amazing comfort with staying power that keeps you looking fresh for hours. With a long-wearing comfort technology. Offers a creamy color with Colorfix technology. Ensures 10 hours of intense crème color.

MRP: Rs.400/- for 3.6g\

Shades Available:

15 shades bifurcated into reds & browns and pinks & mauves..

I quite love the rose gold packaging..chic case with slight rounded edges..and it clasps tight..I love the names too..ending with Goal, Slip, Break, Drill, Management, Play,etc..all corporate language..

Peony Goal is a mauve pink brown with gold shimmer..an everyday shade..quite close to MLBB..it has a soft matte finish..these glide on quite smoothly..and are super soft..

As these are meant for work..this shade is perfect for work wear..plus the soft matte finish is also quite formal..it has a sweet smell which goes away in a minute or so..

This shade stays on for 3-4 hours..I am a little disappointed with the staying power..since its the 9 to 5 range and is supposed to stay longer..but the deeper shades in this range seem to stay longer and leave behind a stain..

Here is how it looks on me..

Pros:

1. Soft matte finish…quite smooth in texture.
2. Chic packaging.
3. Economical
4. 15 shades to choose from.
5. Travel friendly..it clasps tight.
6. Though its matte..its not drying or uncomfortable on lips.

Cons:

1. I prefer it sans the shimmer.
2. Expected it to stay longer.

Overall I would say I loved the finish of these and the packaging too..I like this shade but sans the shimmer..I would surely check out other shades in this range..Do recommend it..especially for work wear..I would like to check out Pink Slip or Tea Break..

Rating:

Quality: 4/5
Value for money: 4/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall Rating: 3.75/5

Would I buy it again: Yes

Have you tried the new Lakme 9 to 5 Lipsticks ?

After the launch of the Go Back In Time video, we present to you a heartwarming song called ‘Jad Se Judein’ sung by none other than Mohit Chauhan for the L’Oreal Paris Fall Repair 3X ‘Stay Rooted’ campaign.
The video is the story of 3 people – a student in search of her teacher, a granddaughter who makes a small and simple sacrifice for her grandmother and 2 friends who reconnect at a place they call their own.
The Jad Se Judein song takes you back to your roots and makes you remember that person who shaped you, those in your life who had a role in making you who you are today – but those who’ve unfortunately been forgotten today.
We hope that you’ll go back in time and reconnect with them. We hope that you’ll “STAY ROOTED”

I love Mohit Chauhan..and this song is so fab..love the lyrics, voice, video..

All About Skin Tightening Treatments

Uncategorized, , , ,
This Is One Of The Most Successful Cosmetic Procedures

Guest Post

Skin tightening treatments are today’s most successful cosmetic procedure. Respect and popularity for this procedure is growing every day as people find out how easy skin tightening treatments can be. This highly effective cosmetic procedure is safe and pain-free. Unlike surgery or laser resurfacing, you can see results after the first day of treatment. Each day people witness the positive results as they look in the mirror and see a younger version of themselves.

What are you looking for in a cosmetic procedure? Is time important to you? Currently, laser skin tightening procedure takes less time than any other procedure available. For today’s fast-paced lifestyles, that is a big advantage. You will also see results with less pain. Recovery time can drag on with other procedures. There isn’t a need for a long recovery period with laser skin tightening that would take you away from work, as other procedures would. A licensed cosmetic dermatologist can perform the skin tightening procedure for you, as an outpatient, in the comfort of his office. You will experience softer, firmer skin after the first visit.

Your skin as you age begins to lose its elasticity. Due to more exposure to the elements, the face is usually the first place you will see aging. Laser skin tightening can help remove the fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes. You will be so pleased that you’ll want to see how well it works on the sag lines around your mouth too. It has also been successful with firming the areas of the neck, arms, stomach, bottom and thighs.

Skin tightening treatment combines light energy with bipolar radio frequency waves. This sounds amazingly complex but with the help of conventional lasers, the radio waves work to warm up the collagen in your skin. The warmth then helps to promote the growth of new cells. Collagen is a key element found in the composition of your skin. This fibrous protein aids the skin’s flexible qualities to help us move. As we age, our collagen production slows down. This procedure gives the collagen in the areas treated an extra boost. The extra collagen growth will rejuvenate the skin, giving it a more youthful appearance.

Laser skin tightening is a safe, quick, and straightforward procedure. Generally, patients observe an improvement in their skin’s appearance with the first treatment session. Depending on the condition of your skin and what your needs are, the dermatologist will recommend the number of treatments you will need. Most specialists recommend up to 6 treatments. After a year, you can treat the areas that show standard signs of aging again. Once you see how easy this procedure is you will be glad you tried it!

Author Bio: Christine blogs about the fantastic results of non-invasive laser skin tightening treatments that will help keep your skin feeling young. She recommends that you visit the Skin Vitality website where you can get great information about their clinics. Also, check out www.skinvitality.ca/brampton to arrange a consultation at the Brampton clinic to see which services are right for you.
