Veet Sensitive Touch Expert Beauty Trimmer Review

Hi guys,

I am sure you have heard about this Veet Sensitive Touch Expert Beauty Trimmer, but this is the new version with adjustable head and can be used both wet and dry.

Claims:

  • Gentle hair removal and precise shaping for your delicate body parts, ideal for upper lip, side burns and eyebrows
  • Waterproof: Can be used in shower
  • Quick and Gentle: Easily remove any unwanted hair in one go
  • High Precision: Adjustable eyebrow head and dedicated accessories to get precise shaping and styling
  • Ideal also for quick touch-ups wherever you go
  • Wide Range of Accessories: precision head, bikini head, comb, beauty cap, cleaning brush, beauty pouch and AA battery

MRP: Rs.2499/- ( Get it for Rs.1999/- on Amazon HERE)

Directions to use: The Veet Sensitive Touch Expert Beauty Trimmer is specially tailored for sensitive body parts such as upper lip, side burns and eyebrows. Precise and easy to handle, it removes hair gently while its cutting blade has no direct contact with the skin, so no fear of cuts. And as it is compact and elegant, you can put it in your handbag for quick touch-ups, anywhere, anytime. The Veet Sensitive Touch Expert Beauty Trimmer is waterproof, hence can be used in shower.

For perfect looking eyebrows, step 1 is trim. For desired eyebrow length just trim them. Use the small head and add the comb. Place the device over your eyebrow and move it against the direction of hair growth.

For perfect looking eyebrows, step 2 is shape. For a perfect eyebrow contouring, remove the comb and use the high precision head. Touch skin lightly and push it across the eyebrow.

For gently shaved or shaped bikini use the larger head. Touch skin lightly and move the device to the opposite direction of hair growth.

For trimming, add the comb and choose the desired length.

My Experience

The 2mm and 4mm blades adjustable head gives perfect precision to do your eyebrows. I like my eyebrows thicker and I only get rid of the extras outside the line. The small 2mm blade helps me with the lower part and the 4mm blade on the top part.

If you have thick and bushy eyebrows, add the comb attachment and go over the eyebrows. It will trim the longer hair that is sticking out and make all the eyebrow hair even and uniform in length.

It works great for upper lips, side burns, chin, etc. The best part is, you don’t feel anything at all. It is painless, which is a different experience when it comes to eyebrows. Because we have all had tears in our eyes with the painful threading! Yes, the hair does grow back quicker, so maybe you need to do this once a week, rather than the usual 15 days you do threading. Still it is much better, pain wise. Also the skin gets pulled when the hair is pulled with the thread, where as with this, there is no tugging and pulling of skin.

It is quite handy and can fit in your handbag. You just need a single battery and can use it anywhere, even while travelling. No need of electricity!

Coming to the 20mm blade, it is perfect for your sensitive areas like underarms and bikini line. You can either directly use the blade for a gentle shave, or use the 2mm/4mm comb with it for just a trim.

It comes with a cleaning brush and AA battery. The first battery will last you really long. The device comes with a 2 year warranty along with the blades, so you can get it replaced anytime you face a problem within 2 years.

I think it’s great for the price! You can also use it on your hands and legs too. If you are travelling for a 10-15 day trip, then this is all you will need to carry!

And of course, it’s perfect for everyday use too. No need of salon visits for your eyebrows and upper lips now, also the constant fear of the salon lady threading your eyebrows too thin.

I highly recommend getting the Veet Sensitive Touch Expert Beauty Trimmer.

OOTD, Pictures clicked with Asus Zenfone 3 | Review

Hi guys,

I have reviewed many Asus phones including the tab before, read all HERE. I have to say this Zenfone 3 is the most exciting one, coz of the camera!

Colors: Moonlight White, Shimmer Gold, Aqua Blue, Sapphire Black

Price: Rs.21999/-

It comes with USB-C type charger, user guide, headphones with additional caps.

The Zendesign and front and rear 2.5D Corning Gorilla Glass makes it look elegant and classy (also scratch free) and the design has won a few awards already!

Absolutely love the sleek design and the metal outer frame, plus it is very light weight!

PixelMaster 3.0 packs a 16MP camera with the latest Sony® IMX298 sensor, six-element Largan lens with a large f/2.0 aperture, and subject-tracking TriTech auto-focus for variable distance and lighting clarity in just 0.03 seconds. Optical and electronic image stabilization for blur-free shots and video, color correction sensor for true color photography, and true 4K UHD video recording.

The TriTech ultra fast 0.03s auto focus is the first of its kind and exclusive only to Zenfone 3. For the first time in the smartphone world, the engineers at Asus have combined three focusing technologies — laser, phase detection and continuous auto-focus — into one harmonious system. The optical image stabilizer prevents any blurry/shaky photos coz of hand movements.

The 64MP Super Resolution and Real Time HDR makes the pictures look absolutely true to life and super vivid and sharp! The pictures in Super Resolution mode are better than DSLR’s too! But of course, the files are very heavy in size.

Zenfone 3 not only looks amazing and has a fabulous camera, but also comes packed with power! It has 4-bit, 2.0GHz octa-core Snapdragon™ 625 processor, 4GB memory and desktop-grade Adreno™ 506 graphics performance. This powerhouse processor has revolutionary 14nm Fin Field Effect Transistors (FinFETs) to deliver full-on performance while reducing power consumption by 35%. World’s First 14nm Snapdragon processor with with 64-Bit Octa-Core CPU @2.0Ghz : S625 is much more powerful than previous generation thanks to new full 8 core @ 2.0Ghz. 2016 S625 is around the same level of performance of 2015 S800 series. 14nm is the most advance process technology in 2016. FinFet LPP technology increase the powering saving more than 35%. As conclusion, S625 is not mid end processor , it’s middlle-high end processor with great user experience.

It has 4G/3G dual-SIM bay for complete flexibility for up to 300Mbps (Category 7) downloads via either card, and the latest 802.11ac technology for Wi-Fi connections that scream at up to 433Mbps. ZenFone 3 even offers accelerated charging, with a five-minute top-up adding two hours of talk time to the powerful 3000mAh battery — and reversible USB-C for any-way-up connectivity convenience! The USB-C also ensures that the phone never heats up while getting charged or while playing games/surfing the web.

It has 4G LTE and works on Android Marshmallow. It comes with both 5.2 and 5.5 inch display size, this is the 5.2 inch one in Shimmer Gold, love the halo it creates.

The camera of course comes with all the classic Asus features like HDR, Super HDR, Panorama, Selfie Panorama, Sepia, Beautification, Time Lapse, Slow Motion, etc. It also has an in built editor with various filters/frames and some basic editing options.

The 16MP rear camera is super sharp and clear, I have clicked some pictures and they are all raw/unedited, I have only resized them as each picture was around 3MB!

Also used the front 8MP camera for some selfies. Front camera also has Beautification, HDR Pro mode, etc. I have clicked in normal Auto mode, Beautification mode and in HDR Pro.

Auto
Beautification
HDR Pro

I am loving the pictures!

Game Genie, Sonic Master, Finger print sensor are some of the other fabulous features to look at!

All these features and specs definitely deserve a price much higher, but 21999 is a steal for Asus Zenfone 3! I believe it has everything one needs in a smartphone from camera to battery life to performance! Total value for money! You can check more or buy them on Flipkart www.flipkart.com/zenfone-3

OPPO F1 Launch & First Impressions

 Hi guys,

Last week I attended the launch event of #OPPOF1 and they also announced their association with ICC. They are soon launching F1 Plus too.

Currently the F1 sales start this week. The tagline of F1 goes ‘Bright & Beautiful, Selfie Expert OPPO F1′. And rightly so, this phone has an excellent camera.

Let me tell you a little more about the camera:

Dubbed as the “Selfie Expert”, the F1 features a standout 8 MP front-facing camera with a wide f/2.0 aperture lens and a 1/4-inch sensor, a sophisticated Pure Image 2.0+ photography platform offering OPPO’s Beautify 3.0 feature, OPPO’s patented Screen Flash to make snapping selfies in low-light conditions, and can shoot selfies using hand gestures and spoken commands, ensuring stunning selfies in all conditions.

The F1 also features a 13 MP rear camera with an ISOCELL sensor, the phase detection autofocus (PDAF) with a focus time of just 0.1s, and the anti-shake optimization feature which enables the camera to automatically select the clearest image from a huge buffer of image data the moment the shutter button is pressed.

The F1 is specially designed with powerful software and hardware to make capturing stunning selfies a breeze, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 series Octa-core processor with 3GB RAM and 16GB ROM, all backed by OPPO’s spectacular build quality with a silk feeling metal panel.

It comes with a charger, head phones, two guides and a transparent silicone cover. I am glad they have head phones and cover too, and the head phones are pretty good quality.

Colors available: Rose Gold and Gold

Price: Rs.15990/-

The phone is also 4G enables and is so thin and light, the design is mind blowing. Read more here http://bit.ly/1JeFXYw

I am absolutely in love with the design, it is super thin and very light weight. The dull gold matte finish looks very classy and elegant and it is the lightest phone I have ever used and carried. Plus the four contoured corners are also well designed giving it a sleek look. It also comes in matte rose gold which is again beautiful.

The camera also comes with Beautify 3.0 option which makes your selfies look pretty! The front 8MP camera works even in low light conditions and still gives you pretty bright and clear selfies. The front camera selfie pictures are also all high resolution and crisp.

Here is my selfie taken with the front camera without any filter or Beautify option, it in itself is so bright and clear.

And a pic taken with the rear camera.

Rear Cam Oppo F1

The camera and design is excellent and I have not come across a phone as classy looking and light weight as this in this price range yet! I highly recommend checking out OPPO F1, the sales start this week in all major cities and also online.

The best thing about OPPO is they have 30 day replacement period and 24 months warranty which no other brand in India has, I believe coz I have only seen 6 or 12 months warranty majorly.

Do you like the phone and pictures? Have you checked out OPPO phones yet?

How Asus ZenPad 8.0 Makes My Life Easy

How Asus ZenPad 8.0 Makes My Life Easy

Hi guys,

I know a lot of gadgets and Asus is being reviewed on the blog, but being a blogger who is 24/7 online on all social media platforms and keeps clicking and uploading and tweeting and snapchatting and doing live beams or youtube or blogging all the time, apart from emails, invoices, following up on payments,etc. is tough! Phew :/

And smartphones, tabs, gadgets make our life easy and sorted. I was using the Samsung Galaxy 2 Tab since years and it is quite old now, so I was looking for a new tab with all the advanced features and got the Asus Zenpad 8.0 at the perfect time. I love how a tab is not as inconvenient as a smartphone and still easy to carry around and work with.

It runs on Android 5.0, with the ZenUI overlay, almost the same as with other Asus smartphones. It comes with 2GB of RAM, 16GB of  internal storage (expandable upto 128GB), and LTE connectivity, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi and a 4000mAh battery. The battery lasts really long!! One of the main reasons why I love it.

The Zenpad comes with a charger. There is a separate audio cover and the cover’s charger at an additional cost of Rs.3000/-

It has interchangeable covers in black, white and grey. It is 8 inches in size, so easy to carry around and quite light weight (350g). Fits in my smaller handbags too.

Front Cam Beautification Mode

It has 8MP Rear camera with f/2.0 which is pretty decent, has Tru2Life technology which captures pictures as vivid and clear as in real with no change or modification in colors or brightness. It catches every minute detail and the pictures are very sharp because of the PixelMaster. The front cam is 2MP, both cameras are without flashes. It is not the best camera out there, but pretty good for a tablet. Compared to other tablets, the camera is top notch. The camera has all the features as in their other smartphones (Read more in my Zenfone 2 Laser Review HERE)

Pic clicked with Zenpad, see the colors are more true to real life.
Front Cam Selfie with Beautification Mode

VisualMaster optimizes all aspects of the display — including contrast, sharpness, color, clarity, and brightness — resulting in an incredibly realistic viewing experience.

It runs smooth with many apps open too, inspite of 2GB RAM. Only gets a bit slow during gaming and gets a little heated up too. But for regular browsing , updating, it is perfect. I can even blog on the go with this!

Asus Audio Cover

The sound can be amplified with the audio cover. ASUS Audio Cover (Sold separately) is an entertainment accessory that brings cinematic, 5.1-channel surround sound to ASUS ZenPad 8.0. DTS-HD Premium Sound and SonicMaster technology provide further enhancement, ensuring the ultimate audio experience on ASUS ZenPad 8.0. It has 6 speakers including a subwoofer which means 6 x sound volume and one charge gives 6 hours battery life. It practically works as a bluetooth speaker with better quality. You can carry it around in your car or a house party or anywhere. You just need a party playlist in the Zenpad and your are sorted. The look and feel of the Audio Cover is excellent, it looks like a diary and makes for a perfect case for the Zenpad.

I can blog, update my social media, or watch YouTube videos loud and clear with the Audio Cover and do a ton of stuff from making notes to clicking pictures to sending invoices to doing live beams on Fame or Periscope with this.

Priced at Rs.14,999/-, it is one multi- tasking device that will sort your life. It has definitely sorted mine! If you are looking for a new handy tab, then look nowhere else, coz Asus Zenpad 8.0 is your answer.

Do you use a pad or tablet? Which one?

This battery-operated unit is ready to use and includes four AA batteries.

Exfoliates Quickly and Easily

The skin on your feet is 20 times thicker than on the rest of your body, so it helps to do “something special” for the appearance of your feet. The Scholl Velvet Smooth Electronic Foot File is specially designed with a Micro alumina roller head to quickly and easily remove tough, lifeless skin by exfoliating the foot through a gentle and safe rotating action.

Safe and Ergonomic

This Scholl Velvet Smooth Electronic Foot File contains no sharp blades, so it’s safe to use, and it has an ergonomically shaped head for easy handling. The roller surface with micro abrasive particles works gently to remove dead skin and leave you with smooth feet.

Insert the roller into the device, making sure it is fully engaged. Insert the batteries and turn on the device. For best results, your feet should be clean and dry.

Simple Operation

Move the unit in regular passes over the dry, dead skin, applying light to medium pressure. Continue with regular passes until the dead skin is removed and your feet feel silky soft. Stop if the skin becomes sore or inflamed.

Moisturize after Use

Wipe or rinse feet to remove any excess dead skin and thoroughly dry feet. Finish by applying a foot balm or cream, such as Scholl Velvet Smooth Daily Foot Cream Moisturizer.

Individualize Your Treatment

Use in successive sessions until your feet feel soft and are free from hard skin. Treatment length is different for each individual and depends on how much pressure is placed on your feet during daily activities, exercise, and the fit of your shoes.

For Use on Dry Skin Only

Do not soak your feet before using the Scholl Velvet Smooth . This will make it impossible for the hard skin to be effectively removed. The device should be used on dry skin only.

Replace Roller Head as Needed

Scholl launched this new Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Electronic Foot File last year. I always thought it was a hyped product and what is so great about it and that it would never match a pedicure using various tools at a salon.

When I got a chance to try it, I was like why not, let me find out what the hype is about.

Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi comes with the main unit, attached roller head (Which can be detached/replaced), 4 AA batteries and a plastic cover for the roller head. So you just need to insert the batteries and get working, that’s it.

My feet never had much of an issue, I hardly went for pedicures as there was no dry skin or cracked heels issue for the longest time. They were always very soft and smooth and even when I went for a pedicure once in a blue moon, the attendant would be like, there is hardly any dead skin for me to work on 😀 However, after the accident and surgery, the skin had turned rough. The feet were not kept on the floor for more than 40-50 days, so there was no blood circulation and they were just straight on bed, so no blood flow downwards. The feet had a lot of dead skin and they had gone completely dry with a new layer formed on them altogether. The first thing my physio told me to do is scrub them well as the feet were slippery with that layer of skin. I scrubbed them 2-3 times in one week for the dead skin to completely go away, I wish I had this product back then, it would have helped a lot.

Coming back to today, my skin on the feet is almost back to normal. I thought this Scholl Express Pedi would not work on me as there was nothing much to come off. I tried it on the entire feet, the heels and edges, the mid portion and underneath the big toe which is usually drier. And guess what? I actually saw dead skin buffing out, the white remnants or powder you see is your dead skin coming off. When I touched my heels and toe, they were like so much smoother. I was shocked, I mean in a good way of course.

I know this looks gross, but had to show you guys it works

It actually worked! Basically, the roller head has sand paper kind of finish and the continuous rotation helps it buff the skin but without any pain. I am going to try it on my mom next coz she has very dry feet and cracked heels. I think it’s a blessing for someone with dry feet and who needs regular pedicure, this will save a lot of time and money. The best thing is it can be carried along anywhere, though it is slightly heavy.

It is priced on the expensive side, but it is available on Amazon at Rs.1101/- 0ff!! Beat that!! At Rs.1749/-,(click on the link to buy) it is a must have and should be tried right now!

My only issue is, I am not sure by when would the roller heads need to be changed, someone mentioned 18-19 pedicures which is decent, but it also depends on person to person and the skin I believe. The roller heads are a little expensive at Rs.799/- when you compare the discounted unit price of Rs.1749/- :p

Overall, I would say, it is definitely a must try! It does not hurt,very convenient to use and carry, a value for money at the discounted price. Highly recommended.

Have you tried the Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi yet?
