BB Cream? Now Comes the CC Cream!

Good evening girlies. I am here to share a very hot and fast spreading news in the cosmetic world with you all. The BB cream hype hasn't still come to an end here in India. Several brands like Maybelline, Vedic Line and such have came up with their BB creams, that is the Blemish Balm Cream in the market recently. If you are a makeup loving or at least a skincare loving girl, you wouldn't have missed knowing what a BB cream is! Myself being oily skinned with a dark-dusky complexion have many times worried much finding hard to use the newly launched BB creams as they (Most of them) give a dewy finish to the skin and moreover BB creams usually don't come with different shades isn't it? The Maybelline one came in 2-3 shades while the Vedic Line BB Cream came just in a single shade! How would a single shade suit all the skin tones. Uh?




    Within a short time again, there is a news spreading like fire that CC creams are coming in the makeup world! So what are these CC creams? I surfed in net for more than an hour now and found the term for this newbie. This CC cream has been  improved and developed in Korea.

BB Cream = Blemish Balm Cream 

CC Cream = Color Control Cream! 

Color Control? So what is different in these CC creams from the previously launched BB one? CC creams come with an advanced formulation including all the other benefits of the BB cream. These Colour Control Creams are expected to be oil free (Yay for me! and for many of the oily skinned girls out there), more lighter than the thick blemish balm creams and they are also expected to come up with a higher SPF for more UV protection. It is updated in some other beauty blogs that CC creams would be coming in many different shades for different skin tones to match all the skin types whereas the BB creams mostly come with a lighter tones which couldn't be used by the darker skin types.

  Most of the BB creams are formulated with the properties of foundation, SPF, moisturizer and anti aging cream whereas these Color Control Creams are expected to come along with a PRIMER, and oil control formula (As said before) including the other properties of the BB cream mentioned above. Is it the Color Control Cream or the Color Correction Cream? There is some confusion with the name too. In addition, there are some talks on the net that CC cream would be containing Vitamin C as its main colour correcting ingredient. Interesting isn't it?

 Anyhow, I wasn't much impressed of BB creams when they were launched and not impressed much about this CC one too but let us wait and check. If it comes in different shades, with an oil free matte formula that will be too great for my skin type, and of course for every girl with oily-combo skin type. Agree with me?



So girls, have you heard about the new Color Control Cream? What is your opinion about this?
Share your feedback, comments and suggestions below! Eagerly waiting to hear from you

VLCC Natural Sciences Gold Scrub Review

Guest Post by Yendrilla

Hi Guys I’m Yendrilla, a part time blogger from India. This is my first post on MABH and I am up with a review of a scrub today. First I should tell you I love to experiment with products like scrubs and face washes. I had been looking for a scrub which will add radiance to my skin and I ended up buying this VLCC Natural Sciences Gold Scrub.





Product Description:
Exposure to environment factors like pollution and dust make skin look dull
and lifeless. This unique scrub, enriched with 24 Carat Pure Gold, Turmeric and Sandalwood, has a
deep pore cleansing action that gently exfoliates dead skin cells, superficial white and black-heads. It
leaves the skin fresh and glowing with a radiant complexion.


Price & Quantity:
Rs.135 for 70 gm


Key Ingredients:
The face wash has mentioned the key ingredients as “Extracts of Alovera,
Sandalwood, Raisin, Turmeric, Gold Leaf, Xantham Gum, Dimethicone, Triclosan and Vitamin E”.


My Experience with this Product:
This product is packed in a golden coloured tube with a flip type cap which makes it hygienic for usage. No complaints about the packaging; it is pretty okay.


The scrub is gel based, yellowish in color and almost transparent with some yellow micro granules and small gold particles in it. It has a mild fragrance which is really soothing.


It is very gentle on skin. I am using it for the past 2 weeks and my blackheads have almost gone. It provides a deep pore cleansing action that gently exfoliates dead skin cells. Though I didn’t find much radiance effect in my skin as the product claims. Okay, now let sum up with the pros and cons.


Pros:        

  • Comes in a hygienic and travel friendly packaging.
  • The consistency of this scrub looks attractive due to the small gold particles.
  • This granules are very mild so that even sensitive skin types can use it.
  • I did experience no side effects with this scrub as its formulation is very gentle on skin.
  • Though mild and gentle, it does a deep pore cleansing action effectively.
  • It clears blackheads very well. All my blackheads were almost disappeared within 2 weeks of usage.
  • The price is that not costly.



Cons:
  • I did not find much radiance as expected.


My Rating: 3.5/5



Recommendation: I think this scrub will suit all skin types except the extra dry ones. After using it, my skin got a little dry and hence I think it will do best on oily skin. However, if you want to clear your blackheads, then you can give this product a try.


Would I repurchase?:  I guess NO. I didn’t like this scrub that much. There are many more scrubs in the market with better results, at much cheaper cost. Right?

Milton Keynes Sky Ride

On Sunday, I attended the Milton Keynes Sky Ride with my sister and had a really great time. As explained before, the whole event was set up to get people more motivated and to get them out using their bikes more. The events, which have been going on for about a year now, are a collaborative effort between Sky and British Cycling.

My outfit with the Sky Ride t-shirt - very stylish!
When me and my sister first got there, we weren't entirely sure where we were meant to be as we were pretty early, so we stopped off in Starbucks for a cheeky coffee/hot chocolate first ;) It was then when we spotted some people setting up outside and realized that it was one of the many different demonstrations going on throughout the day. We walked back to the car, got on our bikes and followed the general direction where people were heading to find the beginning of the route and lots of different things set up from a stall selling bike products to different companies explaining the biking events they offer themselves.

We started on the route which was really nice - it was generally very easy so that all types of people could do it whether you're a beginner or an expert. There were a few slow hills to go up but there was nothing particularly hard. I really loved that the route was completely sectioned off from all traffic as well, as I'm not a regular biker simply because I don't know any routes near me that are away from traffic and I'm not confident riding around traffic. Along the route there were different stops, including a lovely make shift outdoor cafe that had to be reached by biking down a beautiful off-set path surrounded by trees.

Once we completed the route we had another wander round then watched some of the BMXers and skateboarders performing tricks on a half pipe. I loved this and thought they were very impressive, so I took a few photos.

One of the BMXers doing tricks
I really enjoyed the whole day and it definitely made me more motivated to start bike riding again. What I loved was how many different companies they had at the event offering different ways to get involved. So many people think of bike riding as a solo sport but it really isn't the case. Some companies were offering group bike rides for only women, others offering more adventure like bike rides for those who really wanted to push themselves. It was a really nice idea and it was nice to see families getting involved as well with parents riding with children on seats attached to the bikes and much more. I'd definitely attend the event again and have already began looking on the Sky Ride website for more local events/groups.

I would definitely recommend anyone to have a look on the website and attend any future events if you're thinking about getting involved in getting out on your bike or already do anyway. It's a really nice way to avoid missing out because you might not have anyone to go with or might not know the best routes, or, like me, simply aren't confident enough to ride through traffic.

Celebrity Makeup: Amrita Puri

My love for Red Lips and Bronzer is common knowledge now and anyone sporting a red lipstick becomes my instant favorite... However the shade of the lipstick on Amrita Puri below with the white blingey saree seems to be a bit off...



I love the saree separately and I totally love the makeup if I just see her neck up, so I inferred that the issue lies with the pairing of the saree with the particular makeup! Yup! I have always been good at analytical mathematics :P

The makeup alone would look awesome with a western black/royal blue/emerald green gown... With the saree in the picture, I would have gone for a brighter shade of red lippy... Maybe MAC Ruby Woo or Colorbar Velvet Matte Lipstick in Hot Hot Hot or even Lakme Absolute in Classic Rose.

Btw, I love the way she has her bronzer applied... She totally rocks it! :D

AWOL

Just a quick post to apologise for going a bit AWOL yet again! Sorry guys! I've been really busy lately! I've been trying to put more effort into my social life (and that doesn't mean just going out drinking) as I realised since starting work I'd neglected my friends a bit. I've also been doing a few extra hours at work and I've majorly got my writing mojo back and have been working on my novel non-stop for the past few days - as I said to a friend earlier, I've definitely been in 'the zone'. However it is of course all excuses, normally I have a few posts scheduled up for when I'm a bit too busy to blog but I haven't had any this time. I'm hoping to get back to normal with posting ASAP. I'm on work experience next week so I'll get some posts scheduled up this weekend to keep things up to date.

I'll also be posting tomorrow about how the Milton Keynes Sky Ride went - it was a really great day and I can't wait to post all about it.

I've had a few new ideas in regards to the blog and I really like the idea of getting some long-term guest posting in again. I'll be asking around but if any of you fancy it or know anyone who'd be a good feature, please get in touch! I'd ideally love someone to guest post on a regular basis about something long term such as their dating lifestyle or perhaps what it's like for them going through a pregnancy or even something quite serious like battling depression to get a real inside opinion and voice about going through something like that.

I was also wondering if any of you would be interested in all in reading any fiction on the blog? I write constantly and have so many different novel/story ideas in motion at the moment and I thought maybe it would be a nice idea to start posting one or two up, putting a new chapter up weekly or something similar. I thought it would be a bit different as I've not really seen this done on many blogs and fiction is something that used to be so common in women's magazines/writing yet doesn't seem to be anymore. Let me know!

I've also had some great news, even though it's a bit off subject. I finally went and booked some tickets to see The Maine next month (that awesome band I posted about recently who have a totally hot lead singer). When pre-ordering the new album, I somehow managed to get a ticket to an exclusive meet and greet with them before the gig?! I'm not quite sure how this happened but nonetheless, I'm extremely excited. I've already been thinking about what to wear. You might find it a bit sad but music is a massive passion of mine and it's going to be so amazing meeting a band that I've been listening to non stop lately, especially knowing how influential they've become, not just to me but to other people as well. I'm totally not just excited about the fact that I get to meet the very sexy lead singer...! I mean yeah, ideas have been put in my head in that all their fans are really young so at 22 years old I'm going to be only two years younger than him and the oldest girl there...it's not like I'm going to try and chat him up or anything ;)

Anyway I hope you all had a lovely bank holiday and I can't wait to get posting again.

Popping pimples - What You Should Know


You could say that is a part of popping pimples. Always through puberty Pimples are not just to look ugly, but they could also be a sign that the skin will go through various changes. If a pimple occurs, it is a natural reaction to want to get rid of them quickly, so we split it. What we do not know the method later a small error, which could lead to a big problem.What are pimples?A pimple is a swelling in the skin through pores caused clogged with oil, dirt or pus. Pimples can occur individually, on the skin or in bulk quantities and can appear anywhere on the body. They can also lead to mild to severe acne cases.

There are a number of reasons why acne can occur. Reasons such as puberty imbalance of female hormones (pre-cycle), greasy food, oil-based skin care products, and even heredity can these unwanted bumps. Independently the face with your hands or not, increase to a daily cleansing ritual the start of an outbreak.Popping pimples is really beneficial?When pimples occur on the face, we want to get rid of them as quickly as possible and we think pop, these unsightly bumps is the fastest way to do this. We sit on the mirror, place two fingers on each side of the bump and then the fingertips in each direction with the hopes burst onto the ugly bulge and the contents inside. When the voltage from squeezing the pimples has reached its maximum, the contents of the clogged pore is released. This process can be painful and it can be harmful to the skin. So, in my opinion, it is not advantageous to pop a pimple, if you know what you know and do not most of us.If pressure on the skin, which is placed around and covering the clogged pores, the skin is to the point that it is ultimately to create an opening which is substantially stretched self-inflicted wound. Yes, knowing the tension that was once a pimple on your face was relieved, but now you are faced with a red wound in the face. Worse, the wound may in a crust that can turn a life long scars turn when the damage by squeezing pimples that was extreme enough.Another thing to consider before you decide which is popping pimples and once that open wound that you create is not kept clean, it can infect. In fact, many tend to check, and then continue to the affected area of ​​the skin, the additional undesirable pollutant complements this area. This can cause more damage to your skin, remove it if the only purpose for which the bump is undesirable.So we should be pressed in the next bathroom, pushing and forcing our skin to break, only to discover that we are then with a red open wound that could possibly be infected venture deal? Or should we access the many different options available today, from homeopathic over the counter products dermatologist services that can be much more effective?The disadvantage of these methods is that many of us do not want to wait for this option to work. This leads us to the conclusion that unfortunately Popping pimples is a current method, which we think is a fast solution to these unsightly skin imperfections to be regardless of the outcome?

Food Causes Headaches

 What causes a headache? Disturbed by sudden headache that does not go away? Do not blame circumstances, but try to pay attention to what we eat. Maybe there hubngannya with the type of food causes headaches before you consume.

Experts say, an orange and some other foods can trigger headaches when people are eating these foods has decreased enzyme. While this enzyme is essential for neutralizing amines or collection of nitrogen-containing organic compounds in food. Some foods have large amounts of amines, and without a doubt it is no enzyme headaches (even migraines) can be stimulated.

Eating 1-3 oranges may not be harmful. However, if we include people who experience frequent migraines, wiser if we can be aware of the impact that the food we eat is to prevent migraines. So we get a new theory, in which snacking foods can be a signal the occurrence of migraine. However, not only the food that every moment can be a migraine trigger, but other triggers, such as bright lights or stress is also a motivating factor headache occurs sooner.

Besides citrus, food and other beverages that can trigger headaches are:

1. Cheeses containing tyramine, which is a natural substance that is formed due to aging food. Proven high levels of tyramine can cause hypertension. This is not good, especially for people who are undergoing treatment with MAO inhibitors (a type of anti-depressant) to address their migraines. Cheeses that contain high levels of tyramine such as blue cheese, brie, cheddar, Stilton, feta, gorgonzola, mozzarella, muenster, Parmesan, and Swiss.

2. The food is marinated, processed, and canned foods also have a high tyramine content. Observe how your body reacts when you eat pickles, olive oil, and canned soup.

3. Once metabolized by the body, alcohol can also trigger headaches. Beware when consuming red wine, beer, whiskey, and champagne that have been identified as headache triggers.

4. Of the patients with migraine and headaches, we also found some popular foods that can also be the cause of their pain, such as peanuts or peanut butter, potato chips, pizza, kiwi fruit, plums, raspberries, bread, and biscuits.

Beirut Became Plastic Surgery Center in the world


Beirut had earned the nickname "Paris of the East" due to the cosmopolitan atmosphere. And, despite the Civil War-torn Lebanon and then for 15 years (1975-1990), Beirut was losing its charm. After going through major reconstruction, the capital city of 2 million people managed to get up. Even Beirut once was ranked 9th best city in the world Travel & Leisure magazine in 2006.Now reportedly Beirut became plastic surgery center in the world , a recognized professional.

Now, Beirut became one of the main destinations of foreign tourists, the first ranks of the list of 44 places that must be visited daily version of The New York Times in 2009. Many things that cause it. Besides filled with art galleries, museums, and other tourist destinations, Beirut also became the center of fashion. From this city was born a few top designers whose design widely worn by Hollywood celebrities on the red carpet, such as Elie Saab, Zuhair Murad, Georges Chakra, Reem Acra.

One other attraction of Beirut is its position as a center for plastic surgery in the world today, beating Los Angeles. This is because the cost of plastic surgery in Beirut is much cheaper than in the U.S. and Europe, and have been riding for 17 years. For example, rhinoplasty costs $ 2,000, while breast implants were "only" 4000 dollars. In the U.S., breast surgery can cost 7000 dollars.

Lebanon woman is already very well known with her ​​beauty. Just look Salma Hayek (Lebanon-Mexico), Shakira (Lebanese-Spanish), Jenna Dewan-Tatum (Lebanese-American), and of course Nadine Njeim (Miss Lebanon 2007). However, Lebanese women increasingly obsessed with their physical appearance, and the more who undergo plastic surgery, whether breast implants, Botox, liposuction, nose or repairs. Not infrequently they undergo a combination of procedures, such as breast augmentation as well as tummy-tuck (tummy tuck), and the beheading of the nose.

Plastic surgery demand is so high that banks also offer loans for plastic surgery program. National Bank, for example, offers plastic surgery loans with terms up to 5,000 dollars under the age of 64 years and it still works.

"You could not find a job in Lebanon if you look unattractive. People will reject you socially," said Maher Mezher of First National Bank.

According to experts from the industry, each year 1.5 million plastic surgery done in Lebanon. That's not including the 10 million non-surgical procedures such as Botox and collagen injections. Most women begin first operations with the beheading of the nose (the most popular procedures), followed by a face-lift, breast implants, and liposuction. Not surprisingly, many Lebanese women who had the look the same: small nose, large cheeks, perfectly shaped breasts, and lips are sexy. Some are doing a total makeover.

Surge of Acne appears!


Sometimes life really is a challenge, especially when acne suddenly. You can not blame the skin for it. You can not blame your state as well. If surge of acne appears, you can not do anything but to do some reflection and self-change.Usually there are three things that triggers sudden acne on his face. Firstly, the amount of stress that you have. Second, the food you eat. Thirdly, the condition of the environment.

I do not know how long I have been blessed with this condition, but now I can only on what I can do to reflect my skin. I want my skin healthy, and I can only do this if I do.

You need to change it, otherwise they will keep producing acne in your skin.First of all, the amount of stress that you will be minimized considerably every day. These include stress from your family, school or business life. Avoid if possible, people who give only negative feelings to you. They will only make your skin worse. They cause you stress, and you do not have to deal not with them.Then it goes through the food you eat. Certainly not eat foods. Than not healthy for your skin Also, do not eat too much fruit as well. The best thing you can do is, there was a balanced meal from varieties of food. It means that you not only eat apples in a day. It can not help you at all.The last change is what the condition of the environment. Acne gets worse if you are in a humid environment. You know, the condition is not completely dry. Moist environments, your acne is, when combined with the other two factors mentioned above. Also check whether you regularly wash your body, your clothes and blankets. This is very important because they can contribute more and more problems for your skin.If there is a wave of acne appears in your skin, and you can not do anything about it by.

Sky Ride in Milton Keynes

This post is a bit different but I thought it was the perfect introductory post for a new feature I'm hoping to begin. I'll explain more on Friday but health and fitness is a subject I've wanted to approach for a while on this blog. With wanting to 'tone up' myself and wanting to become overall a bit more healthy, I thought it would be a nice idea to blog about how I try and change my lifestyle - the different methods I use, the results they give and finally my opinion about them. It's not always easy to stay healthy in everyday life in between work, socialising, blogging and more and we all know it's going to get a bit harder with winter coming up (I for one simply hibernate as soon as it gets cold!), so I think it's definitely something that will interest all you readers.

On Friday I'll also go on to explain how toning up and becoming more healthy is my main aim through out this feature and how to do it healthily without starving yourself or dieting.

This weekend is the Sky Ride in Milton Keynes, which is one of many events arranged to help people get on their bikes and have a bit of fun. The different events are collaborative between Sky and British Cycling and have been going for about four years since Sky & British Cycling first worked together to inspire the nation to become fans of cycling.

What they have done is arrange different Sky Ride events around the country to help people come together and partake. The events are taking place all over the country and offer free bike riding participation from weekly local rides to bigger events like the one this weekend. The rides are available to people of all ages and abilities, and you are welcome to cycle as much or as little of the route as you wish.

I am personally quite a fan of bike riding - it's something I always loved to do when I was little and it's something I've recently picked up again with my sister. My sister lives in the countryside and a few times we have gone on bike rides around the area, taking in the beautiful views and getting fit in the process. It's something I've really enjoyed and since getting some bikes at Christmas (which I need to get a new seat for the girls one because it really really hurts my bum), I enjoy going on the occasional bike ride alone.



Although I do like going out by myself (I love blasting my iPod whilst out), I know that cycling is something I'd partake in more if I actually had someone to do it with. Likewise, I don't actually know many nice routes around my area.

This is why I'm looking so forward to participating in the event this Sunday. I think it's a really nice idea as it's a great way to meet other cyclists and discover some new routes in the process. The website I used to sign up for the event was great too as it gave you the option to search for different local events and even search for and add biker buddies and groups. This is a really nice way to find some other people to ride with and you can also see who else will be attending your local event.

I'm really eager to get out on Sunday and make another start on my 'get fit/get healthy' routine. It's something I've wanted to blog about for a while and at some point last month I was even going on two short runs/jogs a week (*gasp* yes, me, the laziest person in the world!) but then I fell down some stairs drunk and hurt my ankle, so running hasn't really been on the cards for me lately. Kids, don't drink in high heels...nonetheless, it's just about feeling better now so going on this bike ride on Sunday will be a nice way to get back into the fitness thing without putting too much pressure on my ankle.

If you're interested in taking part then simply click here to find out more about the event this Sunday (or to search for more events) and register free for the event of your choice.

I'll be blogging again this week about the event and a further explanation of this new feature. Is this a feature you'd be interested in reading about on the blog? Does fitness interest you? Are you more interested in the exercise side of things or the eating healthier approach? Let me know what you think and do have a look at the website and let me know if you have any plans to take part!
