My Experience with Lotus Herbals Berryscrub:

Packaging: Lotus Herbals Berryscrub comes in a soft press able plastic tube which is partially see-through. The tube has a flip cap with a hole for the product to run out. The details about the product and brand are printed on the top side of the tube body with an attractive shiny finish.

Colour, Consistency & Fragrance: The color of the scrub product is transparent base with brown-orange mixed type of scrubbing particles. The base is like a gel.

The consistency is very thin and runny. You tilt the tube, all the product inside the tube runs from one side to another. Though the base looks like a gel, it is very watery.

The fragrance of the product is somewhere in between mild to strong. The name of the scrub says Strawberry and Aloe vera, forget aloe vera, there is no smell of strawberry too on my smelling senses. There is some amount of sour fruity scent indicating the lemon and orange extracts being present.

 

How it works: Lotus Herbals Berryscrub Face Wash lathers minimum. The scrub granules are of mixed shape and sharpness. There are some which are a little big than needed for face scrubbing and they are sharp too. These scrub the face a little more that needed. The package says All Skin Types; definitely no, the scrub is a little harsh on the dry skin. Also it is not suitable during winter for removing the dead skin flakes. This is a good product for oily skin. My skin felt more dry and stretchy after washing with this product.

But, I have found another way of using this product, as a body scrub. This gives a very good massaging sensation when rubbed on the body. You can skip your usual body wash the day you introduce this Lotus scrub. It scrubs and washes too very well. The much needed scrubbing for heels, elbow, knee joint, and back of the neck is done by Lotus Herbals Berryscrub Face Wash.

Flu During Pregnancy May Trigger Autism

 Birth of a child with autism can be caused by health conditions of pregnant women. Flu during pregnancy may trigger autism, especially the flu is transmitted. Doubled risk having a child with autism compared with mothers who did not catch the flu. Although the study did not demonstrate a causal relationship but experts say pregnant women should get the flu vaccine.

The study was conducted by a team from Denmark and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention that analyzed more than 97,000 children aged 8-14 years who were born in Denmark between 1997 and 2003. Only one percent of the children were diagnosed with autism spectrum.

The research team interviewed the mothers about the presence or absence of infection and high fever during pregnancy and after childbirth, as well as whether they have ever put on antibiotics.

The question posed to mothers reached 200 questions to seek information about different types of infections during pregnancy.

Although the study was not designed for a case of the flu, but it turns out the women who claimed to have suffered from the flu while pregnant two times greater risk of having a child with autism. Those suffering from fever for a week before the third trimester, the risk of having a child with autism tripled.

Animal studies indicate infant brains infected when the mother's immune system during pregnancy to be active, such as fighting infection. This means that the mother's immune system may play a major role in the development of the baby.

"Research on the link between flu during pregnancy and autism are very attractive because of the scientific evidence in animals that autism is linked to immunological factors that affect infant brain development," said Dr. Susan Hyman, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics subcommittee autism.

However experts say the evidence that the flu during pregnancy triggers autism are less strong. Because it's women who have children with autism do not blame themselves.

"Quite a lot of the symptoms are mistaken for influenza fever and not all women infected with influenza virus notice. Addition, the link between antibiotics and autism has never been found," he said.

Provision of drugs during pregnancy is limited, but expectant mothers suffering from high fever or flu should not be afraid of seeing a doctor to get proper treatment.

In general, pregnant women can increase their immunity against illness by getting a flu shot and get enough rest. Flu vaccine is not only effective for the mother but also will protect infants until six months after birth.

Pollution Increase the Risk of Autism in Children

Autism that occurs in children is not clear cause and how to prevent it. Risks associated with autistic children, since children in the womb until the age of one year are exposed to air pollution from highways or other sources more prone to develop autism compared to children whose exposure to lower pollution. Pollution increase the risk of autism in children.

The researchers revealed that chemicals in pollutants will trigger genetic changes in the conditions of autism. Although it does not cause autism directly, but it does increase the risk.

"There is evidence that the immune system is associated with autism and pollution affected the same way," says lead researcher Heather Volk, assistant professor of the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles, USA.

In his research, Volks and his team analyzed the association between air pollution exposure in 279 children with autism were compared with 245 healthy children. The children were participating in a study on the risk of autism, genetic and environmental.

To measure the high pollution exposure in children, the researchers interviewed their mothers. While air pollution levels of water quality data obtained from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Children who are exposed to high levels of pollution in the womb for two times greater risk of suffering from autism compared with children whose exposure is low. Meanwhile, children are exposed to pollutants from birth until the age of one year, mainly highway pollution, three times greater risk of developing autism.

Strongest relation to nitrogen dioxide is suspected or known to the smog (fog containing air pollutant).

Toxins from the environment that causes abnormalities in the function of the immune system that is associated with autism. According to Geraldine Dawson, an expert on autism, some research shows people with autism find any abnormal immune system.

Make up for medical purposes

Make up for medical purposes
Stylists each season offers a trendy make up, and a new palette to create it.
All changes can not keep track, but every woman, regardless of her mother-heroine from the African tribe or the Secretary of the U.S. president, know what make-up and simple ways of application.
Habit to paint the face appeared, probably at a time when our ancestors were covered by a fig leaf, planed wooden spears and ran for a mammoth, making animal sounds. In addition to all of this was a bright frightening face painting. So make-up has been created not to attract the opposite sex!


Times have changed. And cosmetics are used not only on the battlefield and before going on a hunt, and for medical purposes.
An interesting example of the use of make up for medical purposes was ancient Egypt, where the cosmetics did not ignore neither male nor female.
 It was used primarily to emphasize their status and beauty of the face, as well as to attract the opposite sex, and anti-bacteria.
In the journal Analytical Chemistry, scientists who have studied the issue of cosmetics and its importance in the ancient world, said that the Egyptians used a mixture of beauty to fight infections and diseases.
It was believed that the "magical makeover" using crude antimony is able to attract the patronage of the gods Ra and Horus, and protect against eye diseases.
In this case, there is an opposite opinion, they say, of what use cosmetics, which includes toxic lead compounds, can we talk?
Still, the healing properties of the "magic make up" the Egyptians have been proven!
Christian Amator the University of Pierre and Marie Curie and his colleagues studied the composition of cosmetic mixtures, the remains of which were found in the objects that make up the exhibition Louvre.


Among them, the scientists found four lead compounds, and found that these elements help to dramatically accelerate the production of nitric oxide tissue cells of the human body that stimulates the immune system and helps to cope with the disease.
Today in Egypt and all Arab countries "magical makeover" has not lost its relevance.
For the "magic make-up" cosmetic use treated antimony (Kohli, Kaya, kadzhal, kudzhal), which is produced in the form of black or gray powder and pencil. Due to its composition, it is a means of stimulating growth of hair eyelashes and eyebrows.
Gray powder is applied at night for internal mucosa of the lower and upper eyelid, after removing makeup. It helps relieve stress and remove redness.
Black antimony has the same properties, but it can be used for day and evening make-up, like a pen, and in the form of shadows.
So make up for medical purposes is possible not only in ancient Egypt!

Look at yourself in the mirror without fear

 Such a desire, I think, there is a minimum of 40 percent of women who see themselves in the mirror.
And in this case, size does not matter.
Small breasts can be as seductive and sensual, like a big - important the correct and regular maintenance, which includes the use of cosmetics and exercise.
Courting the chest, you can kill two birds with one stone: to make it supple and gives volume naturally.
So, get started!



Fit simple exercises: push-ups against the wall (just make sure Feel work the pectoral muscles), alternately pushing away from the wall with an offset to the left and to the right.
Daily care Breast skin is very delicate and subtle, so it requires regular and delicate care.
The first: Start caring about breast with choice of cosmetics designed specifically for the bust. It will be enough serum and cream. Use it twice a day, morning and evening. First apply the serum, and then a layer of cream or lotion, round and round them in the chest, including the nipple.


Avoid contact with warts and nipples, if in the number of active substances - it protects against irritation.
Apply cosmetics to the skin with light massage movements, the chest is better to use the horizontal motion in the form of eights. These techniques will help to improve blood circulation and accelerate the effect of cosmetics.
The second: Twice a week, use a mask. For greater efficiency wrapped up with cling film or foil.
Third: Every day, choose the time to do breast massage combined with peeling. To do this, take a little shower gel, containing fine particles skrabiruyuschie and massage the breasts in a circular motion.
This will help to prepare the skin for the absorption of beneficial ingredients of cosmetics.
Fourth:
Do not forget the douche: direct the flow of water from the bottom of the chest up, and then to the side - so you do modeling massage.


Fifth: If you are not going to help all of the above, then you can ask for help in the aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery.
I would still prefer to fix the shortcomings of the first four ways: its always closer to the body than the foreign implants.
Just make the effort - and you'll get the desired result!

How to stimulate the fat burning?

How to stimulate the fat burning?Exercise regularly, follow a diet and still can not lose weight? The problem in the metabolism!
To restore it, the following tips:Eat regularlyEat five times a day, every three hours, always on time.
 Studies have shown that people who consume 1100 calories per day in two meals, lose weight more slowly than those that consume the same amount of food for 5 receptions.


Also, due to the regular diet insulin levels remain stable, as a result, you will not be disturbed feelings of hunger and weakness.
No undershot Between five meals are allowed to drink only water and tea.
This is to ensure that the body use fat accumulated previously, and burned them more intensively. The process will be slower if the products to be processed in excess.
Beware of hunger As soon as you receive a feeling of hunger, the body begins to sound the alarm and not work towards burning fat, but in the direction of their accumulation.
Also, when you're hungry, produces cortisol - a stress hormone that breaks down proteins, promotes the accumulation of body fat, and increases the level of glucose in the blood.
 Increase thermogenesis After a meal your body is warmed up after a workout.
Accelerated heart rate, blood pressure rises, and the body uses energy to digest food. This phenomenon is called thermogenesis.
Therefore, to each meal helped burn fat, provide the body the right products, in order to take his job. By the way, for the digestion of protein requires more energy than the digestion of carbohydrates.
30 minutes on the exercise Nothing helps burn fat better than movement. Choice for this long and repetitive exercises, which involves a large amount of muscle.

The two other shades, I cannot clearly guess their staying power as they didn't show well fist of all. The shimmers are visible, but subtle on the lids making these shades look natural. I always loved this deep brown shade personally and overall, I am happy with this eyeshadow palette. Though this is not a best one for the price, the quality of the shades are good; I am just simply not satisfied about the pigmentation of the other two shades.

Sorry I don't remember what I have done with these trio shades :P This was clicked long ago; but I just mixed and matched all the three shades to present this EOTD.

PROS of Deborah Milano Hi-Tech Trio Eyeshadow in Peach Passion:

• Come in an attractive rounded pallete with a see through glass lid
• The applicator provided is of good quality; not the best, but good.
• Sturdy and travel friendly packaging
• The brown in the palette is a beautiful deep shade with subtle glowy shimmers
• The staying powder is good; especially the brown one stays long
• Texture of these shades are smooth 
• When used wet, all the three has a good colour pay off and stays long

CONS of Deborah Milano Hi-Tech Trio Eyeshadow in Peach Passion:

• Expect the brown one, the other two shades are badly pigmented when used dry
• I expected a little more staying power, atleast for the price
• The peachy pink shade that contains more shimmers, causes fallout and make the palette messy.

Makeup and Beauty Home Rating: 3.5/5

Would I Repurchase Deborah Milano Hi-Tech Trio Eyeshadow in Peach Passion?: 
Nope I wont; but I am definitely eying out for the other shades from their brand which are more pigmented compared to this.

Do I Recommend Deborah Milano Hi-Tech Trio Eyeshadow in Peach Passion?: 
I am not sure. If you would like to have one well pigmented shade and two other subtle soft shades on your trio to make a subtle eye makeup look, this might be your perfect pick.

My Experience with Lotus Herbals Seduction Botanical Tinted Lip Gloss in Berry Smoothie:

Packaging: The packaging is quite sturdy and simple and is absolutely safe to carry in your handbag. The body of the container is transparent showing the color and the quantity left.

Color, Consistency & Fragrance: Berry Smoothie is a pink colored gloss. The consistency is semi-solid and not too runny, making the application easy. It has mild floral fragrance that does not bother at all.

How it works: I am personally not a lip gloss person. At times I get attracted seeing their display at counters. So, this was one of my impulsive shopping. But definitely I was not let down by this. The gloss has a doe-foot applicator. The applicator picks up enough product on the first go. Nevertheless, the color can be built with two or more swipes. This is my on-the-go lip gloss..when I don't want anything heavy on my lips.  It does not give heavy coverage, so not very suitable for pigmented lips. I use a concealer pencil beneath to get a neat even coverage. It lasts for 2-3 hours without meals/drinks in between.This can be applied over a lippie but I do not prefer it that way. The gloss contains mild shimmer that doesn't show-up evidently when applied.

See below the swatch on my wrist and how it looks on my lips. (wow that sounds nice lol)
