Press Release: Hair Serenity service at Lakme Salon

LAKMÉ SALON  

Tired of your frizzy, tangled hair?

 Leave the old behind and say Hello to the new Hair Serenity Service at Lakmé Salon  Gives you gorgeously smooth, manageable and party ready hair completely naturally without using formaldehyde

Mumbai, June, 2012: Play it sleek as Lakmé Salon delivers the latest innovation to get silky straight hair with the launch of their new Hair Serenity treatment. Introduced to India by Lakmé Salon, the Hair Serenity treatment is a natural solution to hair that is unruly, frizzy and hair that refuses to behave. Unlike Keratin, the Hair Serenity treatment at Lakmé Salon is formaldehyde free and a safer process for achieving naturally smoother and shinier hair. Step away from the harmful effects of Keratin treatments and indulge in the natural goodness of ingredients like the Cysteine complex to get a glossy and healthy mane that will make heads turn. A pioneer in the beauty services industry in India, Lakmé Salon is a one stop shop for all the beauty needs of the contemporary Indian woman.

The Hair Serenity treatment is a natural way to restore lost proteins and transform hair. Special ingredients used in the service like Cysteine, Dendrobium Orchid, Hydrolyzed wheat protein, Cocoa Seed Butter and Shea Butter help nourish the hair and give it a long lasting shine and smoothness.

Divided into seven essential steps, the service starts off with a detailed consultation with the Lakmé Salon expert who determines the condition of your hair and the best way to proceed with the treatment. The hair is then shampooed and the Cysteine complex is applied to the hair. The complex is allowed to process in your hair as it starts it work on making your hair healthier and more lustrous. The hair is then blow dried and flat-ironed to give it a sleek but yet not poker-straight finish. Post this, the hair is finally rinsed off and you are left with a naturally glossy and manageable blow dried look which lasts for approximately 3 months.

Thus this all-natural service helps:

• Work in synergy with the existing proteins to restructure, soften and release curls
• Penetration into the hair shaft for moisturizing and conditioning
• Helps for overall shine, softness, strength and health of hair

SMOOTHENING EFFECT	Calms down frizz and gives a natural look to the hair with brilliant shine and softness	The smoothening/ straightening effect depends on the % of formaldehyde in the product

LASTING TIME	3-4 months depending on hair type and after care	3 months depending on the aftercare products/services used
QUALITY	Overall improves the texture and quality of the hair leading to strength and stability	No repair- it forms a coating on the hair- It’s like makeup for hair

Lakme New Launch: Perfect Radiance Range

Today, every woman is constantly on the lookout for perfectly radiant and flawless skin, but pollution and harmful UV rays rob her of this dream by creating 6 blocks –   

• Tanning                 
• Uneven skin tone   
• Dark spots            
• Blemishes             
• Dullness                
• Oiliness                  

Obstructing the skin’s natural glow, these blocks make the skin lose its sheen. To combat this, Lakmé brings to you its powerful INTENSE WHITENINGTM range – LAKMÉ PERFECT RADIANCE, powered with Continuous Release Technology, which works on your skin’s 6 fairness blocks to give you PERFECT RADIANCE.Continuous Release Technology is an advanced Derma-Cellular technology brought to you by the team of skin experts at Lakmé. Continuously releasing potent Vitamins deep into your skin’s epidermal cells, it acts throughout the day even as its Precision Impact Action micro-targets all 6 fairness blocks to give you perfect radiance. Additionally, ingredients like Chronosphere Vitazyme C, Vitamin E Acetate, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Lipophilic Pro-Vitamin C, Licorice, Tomato Extracts and Broad Spectrum Sunscreen form a potent cocktail that help give you perfectly radiant skin. Lakmé thus brings to you the latest advances in skin science in this revolutionary new range.

 Designed to give you truly radiant skin, Lakmé Perfect Radiance acts on all 6 fairness blocks by:

• Keeping Tanning under control: Long hours spent in the sun, without sun protection makes your skin look sun burnt, aged and dark. Lakmé Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Range not only guards your skin from the sun, but also works from deep within to lighten it, restoring your natural, radiant complexion.

• Helping even out Skin Tone: Usually caused by a number of factors, an uneven tone makes skin look discolored and unattractive. Lakmé Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Range helps clarify skin tone, giving it a radiant, complete glow.

• Fading away dark spots and blemishes: Spots & blemishes are caused due to pigmentation, skin allergies and acne or even just as a part of the ageing process. Lakmé Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Range helps lighten blemishes and spots, giving you flawless skin.

• Fading away Dullness: Environmental pollution, stale air-conditioning and other such factors sap away the moisture and radiance from your skin, making it appear dry and lifeless. Lakmé Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Range reduces dullness and makes you look your radiant self again.

• Reducing Oiliness: Stemming from overactive oil glands on the surface of the skin, oily skin attracts dust and grime, making it looks duller and darker than it really is. Lakmé Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Range keeps excess oil at bay, leaving your skin oil-free and smooth to touch.

Faces Glam on Eyeshadow Duo Amber Review, Swatches and EOTD

Hey girls! Today, I am reviewing an eyeshadow duo (2 shades) from the new Silk Luxury Makeup Range of Faces Canada Cosmetics which I received few days back (Photos and Preview HERE). Eyeshadow? I am not that expert in using shades, just a beginner to be frank. Still, I will give my best for this review now. This eyeshadow duo is one among the products in the Silk Range set, and I am reviewing this first for my sweet readers who asked me to do so. . In this post, I am also going to do a EOTD for you! he he :P Enjoy the swatches, pictures and the entire review now. (I don't want to blabber and waste your time more)

Faces Glam On Eyeshadow Duo - Amber

Price: Rs.399 For 4 gm (2 X 2)

Shelf Life: 3 years

Product Description

Now create striking combinations with duos that have advanced long-wear formulation and a luxurious texture. It's the magic of Silk.

My Views and Ratings

The Packaging

Oh god! The packaging is so cute, glossy and sturdy! Classy too. The eyeshadow duo comes in a small rectangular shaped glossy case with a wide mirror and a pretty eyeshadow brush inside it. Short and sweetly, it is very beautiful, compact and travel friendly. Nothing bad I could find in it.

5/5

Colour and Texture

The duo I got had 2 shades. One is amber and the other one pinkish rose, not so overpowering, it's really mild and lovely. The amber shade has bronze glitters and the rose one has light pink glitters on them, To say about the texture, it is so smooth, glides so easily onto the delicate skin without any clump and yes! It's pretty smooth, rich and silky as per the name. Both shades had glittery shimmer effect which I loved the most. No complaints about the colour & texture factor too! I can't even find one.

5/5

Faces Glam On Eyeshadow Duo - Amber (Swatches)

How it Works

I am going to finish this part short and sweet, you will know more wonderful things about this eyeshadow seeing my EOTD. The shades are so lovely as they would suit most of the skin colours. Dark, pale, dusky whatever you are! These shadows just gives a flattering effect when worn as single or both mixed together. I prefer using single shade sometimes matching my outfit, thick double duo combination for parties and a very mild duo combination for shopping, hang outs etc. The dull rose near lash line and the amber on the brow line looks really beautiful, however you can do whatever mixing with these duos to make your eyes beautiful. I am just an eyeshadow beginner, yet I feel this one more easy and comfortable for application and getting the effect I desire. The best thing about this duo next to the shade is the staying power. It stays for 5 hours without fading without a primer and 8+ hours you can expect with your primer. The shadow doesn't crease, clump or fade unevenly. Hoo hoo short and sweet? I did this part more long :P because I love the duo so much! Seeing the quantity and the quality, it's inexpensive I would say. Overall, its a good duo with a great staying power, lovely shades, shimmer effect, smooth texture and a good shelf life of 3 years. A single pan will last longer really. Give a try for sure! There are some other shades from on this Duo case. The new Silk Range Duo rocks as per the claims!
