Price: 3.99$


There is usually an offer of 3 on 2 on Boots 17 which means that one can get one free on purchase of 2 products.

My views on the 17 Nail Paints:

Frankly speaking, these are the best nail paints I have used so far. I have not seen a more pigmented, glossier, fast drying and long lasting nail paints till date.

These came as a free gift to me as I purchased few products from 17 brand during Christmas sale. The shades are not anything that I chose but all the 3 nail paints are quite precious to me at present. All these 3 belong to few of the range of nice nail paints that Boots 17 offers.

The Risky Red is a glossy matte blood red color that belongs to 17 High Shine range and is very opaque and finishes with a brilliant shine on the nails. 

Night Sky is a glossy matte black shade that falls in the 17 Fast Finish range and it dries quicker than the rest, really within a minute of applying. It is a little watery s compared to the Risky Red but 2 coats give a completely opaque shade.

The last Xtras Glitter Top Coat is a colorless glitter top coat that easily goes on top with any color. It has multi colored glitters that applies smoothly and evenly on the nails and even comes off with your normal nail paint removers without leaving any chunky glitters behind. It actually makes your ordinary nail paint shades to stand out and increases the staying power too.

The long staying power is synonymous with all the 3 nail paint shades. Apply them and forget about them for a week easily. Both the red and black nail paints start fading just from the tips after 5 days, keeping the point in mind that I keep my hands a lot in water.

The Top coat too stays on and starts fading evenly after a week or so. They make the other nail paints last longer.

The applicators/brushes are thick and of medium length that picks up enough color and spreads them evenly on the nails without any streaks.

Rest I think the pictures attached speak for themselves. These are a real steal at the price and ongoing offers on Boots 17. I am surely going to hoard few more of these as soon as I can. I already have a big stock of nail paints to finish before plunging into more.  :P 

Ratings: 4.5/5 (-0.5 just because they are not available in India)

Recommendation: Yes, Very much. Get them and enjoy some brilliant super shiny, long lasting and quick drying nail paints.

This snap is taken after 7 days of applying the Night sky nail paint topped with the Glitter top coat. You can judge the staying power with this snap easily.

Editors note: Thanks you Nids for your wonderful post with many clear explaining pictures. It is really a detailed review and we hope that it would be useful for many divas out there. All the best for the giveaway! 

Important Note:  The person with highest number of giveaway entry posts will win a surprise goodie hamper in this MABH 400 Followers Celebration Giveaway Contest! Enter now and win exciting prizes!!!

How Important It's to Maintain Hygiene

image source: sofeminine.co.uk

Healthy living was not only healthy eating and exercise, but also maintain a healthy environment, especially in the home environment. It is true that the diseases that attack most probably met by a dirty environment. Hygienic lifestyle habits in the family needs to be healthy and if you want to minimize the breeding of germs in a variety of objects and equipment also supplies home. Anyone who was at home should be able to keep clean. We know how important it is to maintain hygiene.

Apply the hygienic habits can help you and your family avoid bacterial infection that damages the body's tissues and cause disease. Although the household can not be completely sterile of bacteria, but at least hygienic behavior can minimize the risk of disease because germs.

We do not need 100 percent sterile or do not need to be overly concerned with germs. Not all harmful bacteria. Food that enters the body has to digest the bacteria, eating yogurt that we were through with the help of bacterial fermentation process. All you need do is hygienic behavior so that bacteria do not cause disease.

It is important for each family member to understand the different types of bacteria and diseases caused by bacteria. For example, the presence of S. Aureus in upper respiratory and skin rarely causes disease in individuals. Because healthy individuals are usually only act as a carrier, but another matter if the individual has burns on the skin, bacteria that exist in the wound can be moved to the clothing worn, the bacteria eventually spread and cause ulcers or other skin diseases.

As another example, the bacteria K. Pneumoniae, which can often cause upper respiratory tract disease, also often transmitted due to unhygienic behavior. Such rare household cleaning fabric, hand-washing habits are not good, or the process of cleaning various household goods that have not been considered but has not been hygienically clean.

However, once again, a note to keep in mind. You do not need too much by being "too sterile" even limiting activity, especially in children. You can still do any activity at home, but make sure the clothing, appliances and home furnishings, flooring and various objects in the house regularly cleaned with a hygienic way, not just clean.

My Experience with Jabong.com

Since the day I started my make-up ban, I have been getting my dose of retail therapy by shopping for apparels and lately home decor. While going through these home decor sites, I ended up at jabong.com.

Now of course everyone has heard about Jabong, even I had, but with all the mixed reviews (some negative and some downright glowing), I wasn't really keen on trying it out. But while browsing a particular lantern caught my fancy and I thought of giving the site a try :P (Yup I was feeling adventurous)! LOL :D Now since am blogging from office and I forgot to click pics of the lantern in question, you can check it out here. The lantern looked so vintage and so Victorian that a enthusiastic home decorator like me had to have it :P I have placed it next to my glassware cabinet and well it does look really pretty :)

Anyways, coming back to my experience with Jabong, let me tell you all, it was surprisingly good. I mean scouring through so many products wasn't really difficult for an avid shopper like me :P Plus I was floored by the customer service! It was superb! The delivery time they took was 2 days and the most astonishing part of the whole experience was that they have their own courier system and hence the deliver guy actually tells you to open the package in front of him and check the goods and if its damaged then we can return it to him without paying him the COD charges! How cool is that! he he he

Also, the moment I placed my order I got a call from the customer service asking me if I wanted to confirm the order and if I wanted I could cancel it as well. Once my order was deliver I was literally hounded (in a good way) by the customer service to give feedback... I kept evading them purposely for three days but they would doggedly call me everyday till I did not give them my feedback. I was impressed!

One downside that you may find was the absence of makeup products but for me and my makeup ban that turned out to be a boon :P

Categories of products available for online retail:

Ooohhss And Aaaahhhss!!
1. Great delivery system
2. Loads and loads of products to choose from.
3. Good customer service.
4. Delivery window of 2-3 days
5. Great packaging, which helps keep the products safe!

Ouches!
1. Non-availability of beauty products!

Would I Recommend:
I would say give it a shot for sure and you are sure to be delighted by the whole process unlike a few online portals that take more than a month to deliver products!

Overall Rating:
9/10

Celebrity MakeUp: Sameera Reddy

Not very often do we need to fault Sameera Reddy's makeup but unfortunately today isn't one of those days. Looking at the picture below, I cannot help but feel that there is something wrong with her makeup. Yes I said makeup and not the outfit cause the outfit deserves another post altogether :P LOL...

So anyways, coming back to the makeup, I really feel that there is something not working in it. It's difficult to say what it is really but I feel that the foundation has not been blended well and perhaps the shade of the foundation isn't matching her skin tone... Or maybe it is too much SPF in her base makeup?

What do you thin could be the issue?

Causes Eye Skin Wrinkles Easily

One problem is the early aging the skin around the eyes becomes wrinkled. The eyes and forehead skin is usually the most vulnerable.

From all parts of the face, eye area skin is the most rapidly aging. And this affects the anatomical structure of the skin around the eye itself. Well, what are the causes eye skin wrinkles easily.

1. The skin is thinner

Compared with other skin, the skin around the eyes have a thinner layer. "The thickness of the skin of the eye area is only about 0.5 mm, so that the skin of this area have a greater risk of skin damaging factors," he added. Such factors include UV exposure, irritation, and other environmental factors.

2. Fewer oil glands 

Thin layer of skin on the eye area is also due to low oil glands (sebaceous glands). These oil glands function to keep the moisture in the eye skin area. This little oil glands will cause the skin to dry eye easy. In addition, the area around the eye also has few hair follicles that are useful to protect the surrounding area. 

3. Thin blood vessels

Because the blood vessels and the skin layer is also thin shelter, when the blood vessels and skin aging will be readily apparent on the face. The aging process will cause blood vessels to become hardened and narrowed.

4. Less elastic

The skin around the eyes classified as less elastic. The content of collagen that makes skin more elastic is very little. In addition, the collagen in the skin layer is also very smooth and thin.

5. Thin layer of fat

The skin around the eye have a little layer of fat, so that when pressed even this layer does not feel rubbery and "fat". A little layer of fat which will make the eye area skin, either under the eyes or on the eyelid, it will be easier and faster sagging wrinkles.

6. many flashes

Every human being must blink. Within a minute, you can blink about 15 times. And in one day, you can blink to 14 400 times. Muscle activity such as blinking eyes will also affect the formation of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

With proper care and perform massage in the eye area, this fine line can be disguised.

What To Wear: To A Marriage where You are the MUA and my Experience

Ha ha the scenario I describe in the title of the post is quite rare, but well not entirely impossible now is it? :) Yup! I had been asked to do a bridal makeup for a traditional maharashtrian-kannada wedding on Sunday by my friend's friend... The thing is the bride "Shruti" had returned from Switzerland just two weeks before her wedding and well the scramble for getting clothes stitched, booking parlours and well getting trial makeup done was having a toll on her. She took trials from a couple of parlors and MUAs for her bridal makeup but wasn't very happy with the results... Then when she was lamenting to Shweta (a common friend and ISLM follower), Shweta recommended her to try out a couple of trials with me (ahem!) :P And once I did my first look, she fell in love with it so much that she asked me to do her bridal (wedding and reception) makeup :D Yay! Now as I do take up occasional requests for bridal makeup as well as party makeup and plus she was a friend's friend I immediately said yes :)

Now I had a bit of experience with bridal makeup before as I had done makeup for both my best friends and myself as well plus I had a very good idea about the traditional maharashtrian bridal look so I wasn't as intimidated :) But I must say, doing two bridal looks on one day is really tiring and hats-off to all the bridal MUAs in the world for all the efforts you put in to make a bride look so special on her important day :D Now maharashtrian weddings like south Indian weddings take place in the morning and she had her reception on the same day in the evening, so I was up at 5:00 a.m. and was at her place at 6:00 a.m. Now that was really the most difficult part for me :P he he...

Once I entered the service apartment where she was to get ready, I met with her parents, sisters, cousins and basically all of her female relatives and that is when I really felt nervous! All obviously looking at me as if thinking if this half-ch*nki girl will really be able to carry-out a traditional Maharashtrian look :P Plus they knew I did not do this professionally, rather I myself am a s/w engineer like their daughter and do it as a "side business".. LOL.. The butterflies I had in my stomach at that moment was just "oooh"! ;) I am so glad Shweta and Shilpa (common friends) were with me!

But once I saw her after with pre-bridal treatments and stuff and the inner glow that she was oozing, I knew doing her makeup would be a pleasure :) She looked so gorgeous as is :) And after about an hour of my makeup and hair-do efforts and Shweta's draping skills, Shruti was ready to wed her groom :) Yay!

She loved what I did with her hair... So traditional :)

In the evening I did her reception makeup as well... All in all it was fun though a bit tiring too ;)

But sadly my camera was not able to capture the makeup properly, it even washed out the blusha dn the highlighter :(

And this is what I wore for the morning ceremony...
Since I was very tired I couldn't attend the evening reception :(

Traditional Gold Jhumkis: Tannishq
Traditional Meenakari Gold Bangles: Tanishq

Dying for a pee, of course if it will interfere if there is continuous, with a frequency of every 15-20 minutes. Therefore some pregnant women often hold urination.

Thinking health plans, as well as maintaining long-term health. Is insurance needs, we hesitate to menambil insurance. But we do not know our future state. We do not know, that his name human beings prone to diseases, worse that the cost of treatment would cost the family. So we were little discussed the benefits buying health insurance.

Health insurance is one type of insurance product that guarantees the availability of funds if the holders of health insurance have health problems. With health insurance, all kinds of health-related costs in the form of hospital costs, physician fees, drug costs, and operating costs will be covered even insurance companies.

Of course, all the existing terms and conditions set forth by the insurance company in the agreement, such as how much the cost will be paid the insurance of any kind of disease.

To get all these benefits, of course, we have to pay premiums on insurance companies that we cover. When we're in good health and we have to pay premiums on insurance companies, premiums as though - would the money spent in vain, but if one day we experience unexpected health problems whose treatment requires a large cost, the insurance coverage we will receive from the insurance company will much greater when compared with the value premium has been paid.

My opinion: Insurance is the happiness of life, why?

1. We will get paid from insurance companies, it could be a total cost greater than premiums pay, unlike savings.
2. But better that we do not get the funds, it means .. We are always healthy, safe and no disease.
3. Means loss for money we pay, we think not ..! for money we paid automatically used to help others who are sick.
4. That is,We aren't attacked by the disease, precisely it can help others,
5. We believe that money for charitable good, God will replace the better.

So, it's our reason why insurance is for a more beautiful life.
