How to fix a Broken Lipstick in 5 easy steps: DIY,Tutorial with images

17.7.15 8 Comments
Out of all the hell that can break on a beauty junkie, two things top my list (tell me what makeup mishap you have experienced)..  
One- a missed sale and Two- a broken lipstick...!!!
To me a broken lipstick is directly proportional to a broken heart,worst still if you splurged on it! But Boy Oh Boy! We fixed it!!
See How!

 Things You Will Need :
  • A broken lipstick off course.
  • A hand sanitizer
  • Paper towels/Tissues
  • Candle or lighter
  • Match sticks (if you are using a candle)
  • Cotton buds
  • Refrigerator :P
Method:
1. Wash your hands,sanitize them and spread a paper towel on your work station as it might get messy.


2. Slightly heat up the tube from where the lipstick got uprooted over a candle or lighter. Similarly heat the bottom of the lipstick bullet too. Make sure both the ends become flat.


3. Apply a little pressure and fix the lipstick over the bullet and refrigerate it for 2-3 hours. I place the lipstick in deep freeze for half an hour though.

4. Once fixed, take the lipstick out of the freezer and clean the bullet with a tissue.


5. Now roll the lipstick bullet over the candle flame for 2-3 seconds to achieve a ridge free,seamless finish! Voila..!! Done!
 
Hope it Helps..!!

Olay Regenerist Advance Cleansing System If You Still Haven't Bought Clarisonic: Review and Price

11.7.15 2 Comments
Chances are if you are reading this post,you have either bought the Clarisonic already or atleast thought about it at some point of time. Though I give a clean skin utmost importance,I don't believe skin cannot stay clean without the usage of an electronic cleansing system. As far as I can remember,the beauty industry insisted we should dig deeper into our pockets to buy an electronic facial cleanser by introducing Clarisonic into the market and along and after came the sister concerns. One such in question today is the Olay Regenerist Advance Cleansing System! It is considered to be one of the budget versions of Clarisonic!

Brand Claims: 
Product Benefits:
• Up to 4X better cleansing than cleanser alone
• Gently exfoliates for smooth texture
• Enables better penetration of the actives contained in Micro-Sculpting Cream when used together

Results:
Skin is instantly cleaner, feels fresher.
Skin texture is improved & smoother with continuous usage.
For even more dramatic results, use in combination with Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Serum & Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream.

Product Attributes:
2-Speed Control delivers daily deep cleansing & gentle exfoliation. It is water-resistant for use in shower.
Gentle Brush Head (refills available) - For better removal of dirt & make-up, even in the T-zone & chin. It is specially designed to be gentle on skin for daily use.
2 AA batteries are included

 Directions For Use:

 Ingredients:
Water, Glycerin, Lauramidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Oxidized Polyethylene, Sorbitol, Acrylates Copolymer, PEG-200 Hydrogenated Glyceryl Palmate, Citric Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Polyquaternium-10, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, PEG-100, Disodium EDTA, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone

Price: INR 4095/-


Packaging: 

 On unboxing, we get the dual speed control cleansing device,a brush head and two AA batteries. I got two detachable brush heads along with the cleansing system in the kit. I loved the packaging. 
Cleansing Device-The cleansing system itself is pretty light weight,handy yet sturdy. It is smaller than the Clarisonic and fits in the hands well. Super travel-friendly being cordless. The device comes with two buttons: first one is power button and the down one offers two speed settings.




 
Brush Head-The bristles of the brush head are very soft . They rotate 360 degrees to perfectly cleanse the skin. Cleaning the bristles isn't tasking at all. Just running under the tap water and rubbing the thumb over does the job well!

My Experience:
Olay Regenerist Advance Cleansing System is my first electronic cleansing device. Never thought about the need of one since I was blessed with a good/maintenance free skin. But after having kids and the growing age off course,my focus is somehow shifting towards better skin care than just makeup. It is recommended that this device is used with the Olay regenerist skin renewal cleanser but I use it with my regular Neutrogena cleanser and it works fine for me!
I have had it for quite sometime now and I wanted to use it before writing a review. And now I can say that it has improved my skin quality in the sense that I don't break out at the drop of a hat since I have been using it. Also better cleansing of the skin has resulted in better penetration of moisturizers..gels..serums..face oils,thus increasing the suppleness of the skin! And though it shouldn't be taken as pros..but it gives me a facial kinda feel which is grrrrreattt!

Wrap Up:
  • Cost effective when compared to clarisonic.
  • Small-fits perfectly in hands.
  • Has two speed settings.
  • Battery operated.
  • Travel Friendly
  • Cordless and hassel free.
  • Soft,non-scratchy bristles.
  • Water resistant-can be used in shower.
  • Cleanses reallllllllyyy well.
  • Improves blood circulation.
  • Allows better penetration of the lotions and potions used thereafter.
  • Cant think of any cons!
Over All Rating:5/5

No make up for women is complete without the application of the nail polish to go perfectly with the dress. With the Street Wear collection you are sure to never be out of the right shades.

  • The Street Wear Color Rich Nail Enamel comes in a cute glass bottle which along with the accompanying brush has been designed for the complete ease of use.
  • Simply open up the bottle and you are ready to make your nails appear their best.

Packaging:

Olive Drab comes in regular Street wear nail paints packaging of tiny squarish bottles. The brush is good enough for 60/- nail paint!

 Shade:Olive Drab

The shade Olive Drab is a lime-green with lots of yellow in it. I was yet to try yellow (Yusss I'm wary of it) and thought this would be a baby step into the shade. Olive Drab screams monsoons and is yet not in-your-eye kinda bright... The shade in short was the only reason I picked it (although I seriously dont remember when I picked it).

Opacity:
Olive Drab is somewhere in between semi opaque to sheer. It needs at least 2coats to show up well and 3 coats give  you the purrrrfect lime-green/yellow colour with a non streaky finish!



 Wrap up:
  • Love the lime-green shade.
  • Opaque finish in two coats.
  • Brush performs well.
  • Super Cheap.
  • Offers a great variety of shades.
  • Stays put for a good 3-4 days without chipping.(depends on your chores)
  • Doesn't take forever to dry.
  • The shine subsides the very next day :(
