Diana Penty in Cocktail

I was quite excited to watch Cocktail and saw it on the first day..though the movie is quite ok..you can watch it once just for the styling..amazing work by Anaita Shroff Adajania…hats off

I loved Diana’s styling the most..though Deepika was hot..Diana’s style was more wearable and relatable..she wore cardigans, jackets, polka dots, stripes, checks..from the punjabi Delhi girl entering in salwar kameez, her style evolves better and better throughout the movie..

She had her hair open throughout in almost all the scenes..with the front bangs pinned in some and a side braid in some..

As far as her makeup is concerned, she had an au naturel look..her base was very light and minimal..she does have a good skin..

She has thick kohl on her upper and lower lashline throughout..the kohl is smudged on the upper lashline with some soft brown eye shadow blended in..muted gold in some scenes..and lots of mascara especially on the upper lashes..

And a peachy pink lipstick with a matching blush..and a MLBB shade in few scenes..

P.S: She being a Maybelline Brand Ambassador..says she loves and uses the Maybelline Colossal Kajal and BB Cream..and also likes the Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation.

I love her minimal, effortless, natural look..Do you ?

Is Your Shampoo Causing Your Skin to Break Out?

Is Your Shampoo Causing Your Skin to Break Out?

Guest Post by M Rochell

Are you frustrated with a rash on your skin around your hairline, on your cheeks, or on your neck that just won’t go away? You could be experiencing an allergic reaction to the ingredients in your shampoo!

Source

It’s hard to believe, but even shampoos labeled with a hypoallergenic label can contain ingredients that will irritate your skin and cause it to break out in a rash or with acne or pustules.

Effects of SLS on Sensitive Skin

Nearly every shampoo on the shelves today contains what is called SLS or sodium lauryl sulfate. It’s the ingredient that makes your shampoo lather up. Another derivative of SLS is called SLES, or sodium laureth sulfate, and it too is found in shampoos as well as some toothpastes and cosmetic products.

What’s the big deal you ask? Sodium lauryl sulfate has been known to irritate sensitive skin, and has been linked to skin, eye and lung irritation and possible organ toxicity. Some research suggests that Sodium Laureth Sulfate may be moderately hazardous to health.

Every time you wash your hair with a shampoo containing SLS or SLES, it soaks into your skin and can enter your body. Also, even if you’re using a facial cleanser free of these substances, keep in mind that when you rinse your shampoo out of your hair, it will come into contact with your skin as it rinses out, which could also cause a breakout.

Side effects of SLS or SLES on your skin or body could include:

• Redness or irritated skin
• Acne or red bumps along the hairline, neck, chin, or forehead
• Irritated or dry scalp
• Irritated or red eyes
• Hair that looks fuzzy or dried out
• Split ends
• Swelling in the arms, face, or hands
• Hair that’s easily tangled and stays that way

Changing Your Shampoo Could Make a Difference for Your Skin

What’s a girl to do then to get clean hair and fewer skin breakouts? Switch to a shampoo that has no sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate. There are manufacturers of health and beauty products that recognize that the ingredients they use in their shampoos can be healthier and safer for their buyers and still work effectively.

Where Do I Find SLS and SLES Free Shampoo?

More and more companies are offering shampoos that are free of SLS and SLES for their customers that have sensitive skin, or are concerned about possible health effects.

The challenge is to find a shampoo for sensitive skin that is free of SLS and that also works well on your hair!

We’ve found that many of the gentler and safer hypoallergenic hair care products out there just don’t work as well as the name brand shampoos.

It’s great to use a safe and gentle shampoo, but it’s no fun to discover that your healthy shampoo is producing flat, dull or lifeless hair, or hair that looks greasy even after you wash it!

We’ve tried a lot of different ones and only found one shampoo that does not contain Sodium lauryl sulfate, and that also makes your hair shiny and manageable.

Every person’s hair is different, so you may need to shop around at your local health food store and try some different brands.

Other Products That Contain SLS and SLES

Shampoos aren’t the only products that contain sodium lauryl sulfate or sodium laureth sulfate. Here are some other products that could potentially irritate your sensitive skin.
• Toothpastes
• Sunscreen
• Deodorants
• Mouthwash
• Soaps
• Bubble bath
• Detergents
• Mascara
• Body wash
• Lotions
You may discover that by switching your beauty and hygiene regimen and using safer hypoallergenic products, that some of your skin rashes on your skin or mouth begin to fade or disappear. One of the additional side benefits of using products with less irritating ingredients is that you could be preventing potential health issues.

It’s a good idea to check all products marketed to children and babies too because many of them contain sodium lauryl and sodium laureth sulfate. Tough to believe, isn’t it? We want to think that items like that would be safe for our children, but in reality, a lot of them are just as harmful as the ones marketed to adults.
