Ingredients:

Now I had read so many mixed reviews about it..working wonderfully for some and some people got rashes all over their face with it and had to get a medical treatment. I guess it does not suit sensitive skin. I was so skeptical of trying this at first. But went ahead anyways.

I had the small sample size of it which I am using from the last 9-10 days. I use it every night before sleeping coz the skin absorbs the best at that time. It claims to show visible results in 7 days and that skin would be more radiant, soft and even toned. If I had to review it in few words I would say it did not work for me !

I did not see any change in my skin at all..which was not something I expected after hearing all the tall claims. But yes I did read some reviews where it did nothing at all for people and I guess I am amongst them too.

It does hydrate skin and as its in liquid format it would suit oily skin too.

But spending so much and seeing no change is not what I would prefer. Its a pass for me. I have heard better things about the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair. I would like to try that.

Coming to Génifique Eye Youth Activating Eye Concentrate

What the Company claims: The first Lancôme eye care that boosts the activity of genes1 and stimulates the production of youth proteins2. Especially formulated for the delicate eye area, this unique gel-cream texture leaves the eye area feeling velvety.

1In-vitro test on genes.
2Clinical study on skin proteins associated with young skin – France.

Results:
See visibly younger, brighter eyes in just 7 days. Dark circles and signs of fatigue seem to diminish, and the eye area looks fresh and luminous.

Benefits: See younger brighter eyes in just 7 days

This unique gel-cream texture leaves the eye contour velvety to the touch. Dark circles and signs of fatigue appear to diminish. The eye area appears fresher and luminous, as if infused with life.

MRP: 0.5 Oz.- $59.00

Ingredients:

Its a cream colored light gel cream formula. You just need a little bit for the eyes and I use the ring finger (with the slightest pressure) to just spread it around. Now I do not have too much of dark circles problem but this did make eyes brighter and fresher the next morning. The skin around the eyes was soft to touch. Agree with the claims here.

Genefique Yeux Eye Concentrate did work for me. But since its expensive I do not know if this is something to be used always..well you should if you can afford. But soon to be brides who have a dark circles or tired eyes problems should surely give this a try !

So overall Genefique did not work for me but Genefique Yeux did !

P.S: This is my experience with the product on using it 10 days. Results may vary depending on more usage or skin type.

Lancome and Femina’s ‘A Date with Beauty’

Uncategorized, , , ,
I attended the Lancome India and Femina’s ‘A Date with Beauty’ today at the Taj Mahal Hotel. In store was an introduction to brand Lancome, its history, knowing about some of its renowned products. I came to know how they actually test products on a thing which is exactly similar to our skin, made in their labs,and reacts similarly which helps them conduct various researches on how the product works and how effective it is. They also talked about Genefique and their new launch Visionnaire which is coming out in October. It claims to give you the perfect skin, such that you would not need Microdermabrasion if you thinking of it.

Products divided..kept to try

It was followed by a session with Dr Varun Katyal, dermatologist and antiageing expert, about the importance of sunscreen, the dos, donts and everything..let me tell me many of my myths were busted in this session. I am sure you too must be living under some of those..so lets bust them..

  • Myth-1
Skin starts ageing after 30.
        
Fact : Skin starts ageing from the age of 20 although gradually..the process of ageing starts and we must take care of it from that very moment to keep it supple and healthy forever and prevent it from the ageing hazards.
  • Myth-2
I do not need a sunscreen when I am indoors
Fact: We do ! Though we are indoors there are UVA rays passing through everything even though in lesser amounts, be it your PC or laptop screens or tubelights or windows,etc..we should use a SPF 30 sunscreen atleast once a day even though we are indoors.
  • Myth-3
Sun Block is better than a sunscreen as it would block the rays completely and give me more protection
Fact: There is no such thing as Sun Block ! Companies are no longer allowed to use the word sun block coz nothing can completely block rays, though some companies do, but those are just normal sunscreen and the name is used interchangeably. 
  •  Myth-4
Higher the SPF, more the protection
Fact: No,higher SPF does not denote more protection. SPF i.e Sun Protection Factor only denotes the time we can spend exposed to sun. Eg : If a person gets tanned in 10 minutes in the sun without sunscreen, SPF 30 would protect him for 30*10=300 minutes and SPF 50 for 50*10=500 minutes, after which he would need to reapply the sunscreen.
And there were many other things discussed. He said the most important thing to use for anyone, would be a sunscreen, You may even skip a moisturiser, but never a sunscreen. One should use a sunscreen according to their skin types, like gel based for oily skin or a lotion or a thicker texture for dry skin. If some ingredients in sunscreen do not suit a person and he breaks out everytime he uses a sunscreen, he can use Lacto Calamine instead, coz the presence of Zinc Oxide in it would offer some protection atleast.
He also talked about how important is using a moisturiser at night and that it should never be skipped. I also asked him about the steps in a normal skin care regime..would post about it later..this would become quiet big.
And then few Lancome products were used according to the skin type and problems faced. I also had a chat with Stafford Braganza and saw him in action doing his favorite smokey eyes. He was doing green smokey eyes on a girl. I loved the outcome ! He is such a warm and friendly person.

And later we were given a bag containing Genefique Concentrate and Genefique Eye Concentrate samples, Teint Miracle Foundation sample, voucher and chocolates (there was the Lancome design on them too ) 
So overall it was a fun evening.
P.S: I also bought some accessories..the owl necklace (finally :/), thread bangles and a black beaded bracelet. 🙂
Did some of your myths bust ??
