review of "VANILLA" Lip Therapy lip balm by LOTUS HERBALS

ACCORDING TO THE COMPANY :
According to LOTUS HERBALS their Vanilla Lip Therapy

re hydrates the lip by imparting active moisturising benefits of Shea & Kokum butter

heals dry, chapped and cracked lips

protects lip form Sun's (uva &uvb) rays an thus preventing darkening and sun induced damage

results in smooth, supple & healthy lips

ACCORDING TO ME :
PROS

Comes in a slender tube hence can easily carry around

Vanilla smell is very nice

As I have 2 tone lip I prefer to use a non shiny lip balm and this works out perfectly
Moisturises the lips nicely

CONS

Not hygienic (When applying balm to the inner part of the lip the balm will come in contact with the saliva hence have to wipe the surface of the balm after application is over)

Cannot keep an extra tube in the vehicle (due to heat the balm melts)

THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS / SWATCHES :

INGREDIENTS :
Shea butter
Kokum butter
Vanilla extract

HOW TO USE THE PRODUCT :
Pop the cap off... Screw the bottom part of the tube to get the product.. Always wipe your lips to get all the dust & food particles off & only then apply the the balm evenly..
Can use as frequently as needed... After application is over wipe the surface of the balm for sanitation purpose.. Best to not share

PRICE :
Rs 95/-

NET WEIGHT :
4g

EXPIRY DATE :
3 yrs from date of packing

HOW THE PRODUCT IS PACKED :
Comes in a thin slender plastic tube...

WHERE I BOUGHT MINE FROM :
Health n Glow outlet situated in Jaynagar area, Bengaluru (INDIA).

WHERE ALL ITS AVAILABLE :
In all malls & beauty store outlets.

WILL I BUT IT AGAIN :
Yes I will... Its not to shiny, easy to carry around, not costly & most of all the product works for my lips.

review of "10x MAGNIFICATION MIRROR With Suction Cups" by QVS

ACCORDING TO THE COMPANY :

Use for eyebrow twee-zing
Make - up application
Facial hair removal
Contact lenses insertion
Keep in bath room
Carry in purse / travel for touch ups

ACCORDING TO ME :
PROS

Have perfect clear vision of my skin, can literally see my pores
Even the smallest of the smallest hair's can be traced which you can miss while doing your upper lips or eyebrows
Look wise, the product looks high end
Light weight

CONS

The suction cups do not work every time and when it does it's quite hard to pull it out, sometimes I get scared that I might break it
Since the mirror has no lid to cover it scratches will form on the mirror surface
Nothing about the strength is mentioned so be careful as it might break upon falling
For its size I felt it was a bit costly price wise

THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS :

HOW TO USE THE PRODUCT :
If your suction works then just press the suction side on to the surface you want to place mirror in.
PRICE : Rs 350/-

HOW THE PRODUCT IS PACKED :
Mirror is packed in the clear thick plastic bag which can be used as a handy storage pouch according to the company
WHERE I BOUGHT MINE FROM :
QVS store located inside Mantri Mall, Bengaluru (INDIA)..
WHERE ALL ITS AVAILABLE :
I asked and according to the manager only one store is their and its in Mantri Mall, Bengaluru (INDIA).
WILL I BUT IT AGAIN : One is enough for me :-))

I'm just sooo thankful for each and every one of u guys who support me by reading and by following my blog ... Thank u :-))

If any of you have used this let me know your views.. I hope the info I gave was helpful... If I have missed out on any info that you need please let me know and I’ll try to put that also up... I would really like your feed back, so just leave them in the comments section

Teenage Make Up Must Haves

This post is for all the teens out their.. This is the correct time to start using & experimenting with make up & finding out your style... Here are a few products that I feel you should start from

1. Moisturiser:
Many don't agree that this is a make up thing but a good moisturised skin leads to great looking skin, which is the important. Cause no matter how much makeup you put, you can never cover up a bump on the skin. Many factors all will come into picture

2. Translucent Powder:
As per your age your skin in still growing so try not to use foundation & instead opt for translucent powder. Try not to weigh down your skin with heavy make up

3. Eye Shadow:
This is the time, play with different styles... You have endless ways to glam up those eyes.. Usually popular make up done by teens is using candy colours like pink, green, yellow, etc. Stay away from dark heavy colors for the time being

4. Mascara:
This needs load of practise if you are not the steady hand type.. Just remember not to clump them up.

I'm just sooo thankful for each and every one of u guys who support me by reading and by following my blog ... Thank u :-))

I hope the info I gave was helpful... If I have missed out on any info that you need please let me know and I’ll try to put that also up... I would really like your feed back, so just leave them in the comments section

review of "LG gt540" mobile

The LG GT540 Optimus is an android 1.6 phone (it has a 2.1 update available, which has some advantages)

The phone specs can be found here:

This phone is a value for money purchase when all its features are taken into account.

Screen:

Probably my only gripe is that the touchscreen is resistive and not capacitive which means there's no multi-touch support and the touch input is not as responsive as the capacitive screen. There is an upside though, the screen, while being resistive, is still very responsive and does not let you down.

The resolution of the screen is very good at 320x480. You may not pay attention to this important spec at first but irrespective of the screen size, the resolution is what gives the screen its clarity or detail. Compared to Samsung galaxy 3's 240x400 and HTC Wildfire's 240x320, the LG screen is so much more beautiful to look at.

Battery life:

The phone comes with large enough battery rated at 1500 mAh. When used on a 2G network, with wifi and gps turned off, the charge easily lasts 2.5 to 3 days with 3 hours of talktime and 50 SMSs. When using wifi and a decent amount of gaming, it lasts about 1.5 to days with around an hour of voice calls and 30 SMSs.

Home screens:

You can set upto 5 home screens with android 1.6 (and upto 7 with android 2.1). The LG home selector allows you to choose between the android home theme or the customised LG home theme (which I prefer).

Multimedia:

You have the default music and media player app that comes with the android OS. No equaliser. You can browse the songs by songname, artist etc. and you can create your own playlists. The loudspeaker is a big letdown as it is not loud at all! It appears as though the phone's earpiece doubles up as the loudspear, and hence the limit on the volume levels.

The GT540 is one of the few phones in the market that supports divx/xvid playback right out of the box. This is a very important positive for this phone. No more avi-to-mp4 conversion woes! Playback of 700mb avi files are pretty smooth. Audio quality in general is good enough for practical purposes. It has a 3.5 mm jack for audio out.

keyboard:

You have the option between choosing between qwerty keypad, phone keypad and 3 variants of handwriting recognition. This is available if you choose the LG keyboard. If you use the android keyboard you only have the qwerty keyboard. The andoid qwerty keyboard is better than the LG counterpart and also has better word suggestions. If you want to use the phone keypad type keyboard, you can stick with the LG input method.

call quality:

Call quality is very good. Speaker is clear and noise levels are very low. During the call, the screen turns off to save power. This is generally good but I have to press the end call button twice in order to end a call when the screen is off.

pricing:

This phone costs around 11,500 Rs. in Bangalore. At this price, it comes feature laden with GPS, 3G, WiFi etc. Good enough 3MP camera and divx playback.

Camera:

The GT540 sports a modest 3MP camera with no flash. The camera quality is good enough for those upgrading from a 2MP camera phone. The video quality is very bad, might as well not record anything with it. Camera shutter is controlled by a hardware button which is a plus. The built in camera settings are quite interesting, it has some level of control over ISO and exposure. It also has manual focus.

Performance:

The phone performs fairly well with no major lag between user actions. However after the upgrade to android 2.1, the 'call log' page takes a long time to load. I presume it has to be a problem in android OS itself as this is the only screen that lags this much. Games play pretty smooth. There is however, a slightly noticeable lag when the phone is kept running for days together and the amount of free phone memory is under 20mb.

Sometimes the phone speaker would become very loud and the the caller would hear echoes, but this has not happened after the upgrade to 2.1

The phone looks very different from other phones and is easily recognisable in a crowd of other touch screen phones. It also has a very good brushed aluminium like finish, though it is plastic. The hardware quality is very good and the phone feels very solid in your hands.
