GO EYECONIC WITH WHITE 
BREAK THE CODES WITH WHITE ON YOUR EYES THIS NEW YEAR
LAKME LAUNCHES 5 NEW SHADES IN THE EYECONIC KAJAL PORTFOLIO

Mumbai, 23rd December, 2013: After the phenomenal success of Lakmé Eyeconic Black Kajal, Lakmé brings home yet another international trend in the form of Lakmé Eyeconic White- an innovation that’s likely to break all codes of traditional kajal usage. For years, the black kajal has remained an integral part of an Indian woman’s beauty regime, but the new Lakmé Eyeconic White promises to change the game for eye make-up. Spotted at several runways internationally this is a first of its kind introduction by Lakmé in India. Along with white, Lakmé also introduces four must-have shades of brown, blue, grey and green to the Eyeconic collection.

The Eyeconic shades by Lakmé are easy to apply and require zero maintenance, just like your regular black. In merely one stroke the kajal promises a smudge-free professional finish up to 10 hours. It comes with a waterproof formulation that allows one to be carefree while washing face or even travelling. It is dermatologically tested and is safe to apply with its two-way retractable twist-up format.

Talking about this new high-performance product, Arun Srinivas, VP Skin Care and Makeup, Lakmé says, “Indian women love to accentuate their eyes and the kajal remains an irreplaceable favourite. The success of Eyeconic Black encouraged us to look beyond the ordinary and we realize that our consumers are looking for subtle yet strong beauty statements that can enhance their overall look. Bearing this in mind, we now introduce the Eyeconic White – first of its kind innovation with a unique white packaging along with four more interesting shades that will take eye makeup to a new direction altogether.”

Speaking about the outstanding looks created for Eyeconic’s new range, Natasha Nischol, Lakmé Make-up Expert mentions, “The new range of Eyeconic is extremely unique and promising. White is an exciting color for the eyes, which can be used in the waterline to open up your eyes, or in the inner corners for the hint of brightness. Alternately you could also use it on the upper eye lids alone or with another color for a more dramatic effect. We have crafted some amazing looks with Kareena Kapoor to showcase the potential of this unusual color. Each color from the range is very unique and thoughtfully chosen to suit the Indian skin type. As a make-up professional, I am confident that this launch will surely create waves in the beauty and fashion scene in India.”

To get you started, Natasha Nischol has shared a cheat sheet with some quick eye looks to help you perfect the ‘white eye look’ this season.

Shades of Lakme Eyeconic Kajal are priced at Rs 250 (0.35 gm) and will be available at all leading beauty stores starting 21st December 2013.

Women with fine hair often complain that their hair is fragile and their hair fibre tends to break easily. Fine hair tends to be flat at the roots and becomes oily quite quickly. Fine hair is also difficult to style and quickly loses its shape.
The strength and thickness of the hair depends on the structure of its cortex. The cortex is composed of keratin and makes up thebody of the hair fibre. The mass of the cortex defines the overall diameter of the hair fibre. For fine hair, the quality and mass the cortex are lower than that for thick hair and this is what makes fine hair look limp and more vulnerable to breakage.

Kérastase creates the Volumifique range to cater to the specific needs of fine hair. Building on Kérastase’s current range for fine hair Volumactive, the Volumifique range goes further in terms of performance and lightness. A volume innovation, Volumifique is Kérastase’s 1st thickening effect hair care range to create shapely hair texture. The products of the Volumifique range have a unique combination of Système Ampliflex and Intra-Cyclane.Système Ampliflex provides external action which reinforces the hair fibre and adds body and shine to the hair. Intra-Cyclane works from within to create long lasting shape memory.
Volumifique products offer textures especially tailored for fine hair. Stylight® Textures as they are called are the new generation of anti-heaviness textures which are completely absorbed by fine hair, offering volume and lightness.
Volumifique offers a 3 step regime that guarantees the transformation of fine hair:
01 Bathe: Bain Volumifique: Creates feather light volume on fine hair. Soft and light, the formula gives a visible thickening effect on the fibre without weighing it down.
Pack Size: 250ml, MRP: 1500 INR

02 Treat: Gelee Volumifique: Rinse-out transparent conditioner care with ultra-light texture that integrates the most powerful volumising ingredients. It offers soft cosmetic touch and spectacular volume.
Pack Size: 200ml, MRP: 1900 INR

03 TEXTURISE: Mousse Volumifique: Amplifying mousse that revives hair with long-lasting substantial volume and structure. Mousse Volumifique reinforces support and gives hair a natural feel and shiny finish. Mousse Volumifique Protects the hair from heat styling. Volume is safeguarded by an anti-static effect.
Pack size: 150ml, MRP: 1700 INR

The results of the Volumifique Range are visible almost instantaneously, with efficiency even on long hair. Roots are lifted. Hair is shaped uniformly. Hair becomes a playground for style. With time, shine is locked for a hair texture with depth and contrast. Volume and lightness are like imprinted into the hair.

Care for your Lips – all day

Ever wondered how Anushka Sharma manages to flash that beautiful, captivating smile every time she faces the camera? 

If your eyes are magical, let your lips cast a spell too!Caring for lips is the most important beauty regime that every girl must follow throughout the day. Due to exposure to pollution, dust, stress and drying effects of the sun and other external extremities your lips can become chapped and dry.
Keep those pouty lips moisturized throughout the day, with a dash of colour by following these simple steps by Elle 18.

  • Step 1:  Start your day by drinking a glass of warm water with a pinch of lemon. Not just great for your lips but wonderful for your skin!

  • Step 2: Before you step out of the house for your busy day, apply a full layer of the Elle 18- Juicy Lip balm. Take your pick from any of the 6 yummy juicy gorgeous shades.. It is important to use a lip balm which has SPF as your lips get chapped due to the harmful rays of the sun

  • Step 3: Drink lots of water! No matter where you are carry a 500ml bottle of water to keep your lips hydrated

  • Step 4: Avoid licking your lips.  It’s a great feeling to do it but since lips do not have oil secreting glands, they dry up faster and make them harsher

  • Step 5: Keep reapplying your lip balm whenever you get a five minute break!

  • Step 6: Pucker up and practice that gorgeous smile!
