Maybelline Whitestay UV compact: Review

Sometime back, Maybelline, New York introduced a new Whitestay UV compact with SPF 18 in India. It comes in five amazing shades – White Ivory, Light Ivory, Natural, Nude and fawn – to suit the variety of Indian skin tones. The compact also has vitamin C which supposedly brightens the skin tone instantly to give visible fairness all day long. The composition is also supposed to keep the oil away from your face leaving it fresh for the day.



My experience: I chose the “Light Ivory” shade, as I felt that it would be most appropriate for my skin tone. I have an extremely oily skin and almost nothing stays on my face for long. But I have to admit that whenever I used this compact, I didn’t have to touch up my face for several hours. Furthermore, it didn’t clog my pores and my face didn’t feel oily at all. Additionally, it really brightened up my dull complexion or rather made me look a tad fairer. The powder itself is silky smooth; it doesn’t settle into the pores or crevices nor does it emphasize any fine lines near the eyes. In fact, it blends wonderfully into the skin without any patches and only a little of it is required to get that glow. It’s truly a wonderful powder for regular use as well as for special occasions. The packaging of the product is really nice & comfy and comes with an easy to use puff and a mirror. For just Rs.150/-, it’s a steal.

Maybelline has also launched an interesting application as a part of its promotion campaign. It’s seen that that most of the time the pictures uploaded on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter appear dull and dark. This particular application allows users to upload their pictures and brighten it instantly. One also has an option of downloading it on to their desktops. Check it out on http://www.whitestayuvzone.com/index.aspx. Also watch the commercial of Maybelline WhiteStay UV compact on YouTube.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCOJKMjzsFQ)

    Maybelline is very good, its not the cheapest one of course, but it will last for a long time and you don't have to buy a new one so soon. And the covers are very nice too.

    It is a very good brand.Before applying compact, wash your face with a cleansing liquid and dab it with soft tissue / towel.. do not rub the skin as it re-activates oil glands and skin becomes oily again. after that, apply astringent on face with help of cotton sobs and allow it to dry and then apply compact. astringent will not allow the skin oil to surface on skin which clogs the skin pores with makeup

    Replace the sponges in your compact on a regular basis. Now and then, toss the whole works and start fresh — the average shelf life for cosmetics is 6 to 12 months.

    Thanks for the review. I had my eye on that one. I think the Maybelline lip stains are great!

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.

The ache of acne (pimples)

Acne is often the bane of a pretty face. It is painful more emotionally than physically, for the scar that it leaves behind can last for a lifetime, adding to one’s miserable look & feeling.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
