The New Must Have Mascara Review

Tags

, , , , , , , , , ,

After reading buckets full of reviews about a new mascara called Lashconstruct that had sold out in the UK in just two days, I decided to contact my friends in the ”industry know” to see if they had heard about it and if anyone had reviewed it. I received a fair amount of comments back, excited raves, positive reviews and a few ones communicating their sheer frustration of not being able to get hold of one as it had sold out so quick.

DreamWeave mascar

Forever a lover of challenges I was determined to track down this mascara as soon as I possibly could, if it’s got all the celebrities talking, then I must just simply have one. After seeing that the mascara was still out of stock I contacted the marketing company who informed me that the mascara made by DreamWeave & Co would be back in stock and available online by the end of the week. True to their word the mascara did become available and last Friday I finally purchased one very easily online at www.wrinkleregime.com.

So was it all hype or is it really a dream mascara?

Firstly the appearance; the actual matt gold container is really classy and rivals any other leading designer brand packaging. The wand is just the right size so it gives good coverage in a few strokes and using the tip allows you to get in to the corners for those harder to reach lashes. Application is easy and depending on what look you want to achieve this mascara will give you defined and lengthy looking lashes in the day or if you keep building it up, will give you luscious and fuller lashes for the evening.
The mascara is very quick drying, so I would recommend that you complete your desired look on one eye first before applying it to the other, the silicone shield will then dry around each lash. I also found it pleasant to wear, it is weightless, I like to pile on my mascara so many products, when built up, can feel really heavy and they can flake too, I experienced none of that with Lashconstruct . The major positive points are that it doesn’t flake, it feels light to wear, its smudge free and it doesn’t leave you with black eyes when removing it.

The pictures aren’t that attractive, I am not fully made up, but I think with no other make up on my eyes you can see the mascara better.

For me, LashConstruct deserved all the hype that it got, it is simply a great product and in my opinion the best mascara I have found and used since I trained as a makeup artist many years ago. DreamWeave & Co have clearly found a winning formula in their ‘WIDE LASH’™ silicone wrap technology and knowing that this new system will also strengthen my eyelash root and stem makes it truly the dream mascara for me.

Former Home of F. Scott Fitzgerald for Sale, South of France

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The home that inspired the iconic novel Tender is the Night is for sale in the South of France. Lovingly restored to it’s Art Deco glory, Villa Picolette is for sale with Cote d’Azur Sotheby’s International Realty.

Cote d’Azur Sotheby’s International has been appointed the sole agent for the sale of Villa Picolette, Cap d’Antibes. This was the location of the inspiration for the iconic novel ‘Tender is the Night’ by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald and his wife Zelda were residents on the Cap d’Antibes between 1922 and 1924 and entertained the rich and famous, Fitzgerald went on to base his novel on those heady times.

Having been completely renovated by the current owners, Villa Picolette has retained all of the elegance and sophistication of the Art Deco period whilst having been updated for 21st century living. The Winter Garden, fire surrounds, period kitchen and much more all testify to the pedigree and history of the building whilst the interiors have been lavishly restored in the Art Deco style.

Sitting on the beachfront on the Cap d’Antibes, this is one of the most sought after locations for luxury property owners in the South of France. The manicured lawns of Villa Picolette move effortlessly down to the white sandy beach, yet a sense of tranquillity has been maintained with the creation of shady terraces and clever garden design.

Inside, the high ceilings and casement windows ensure that the property is flooded with light and the living spaces flow outwards to the shady terraces, creating a unique fusion of interior with exterior. One can imagine that lavish entertaining that took place here in the Roaring Twenties when celebrities such as Ernest Hemingway regularly enjoyed the hospitality of Fitzgerald. Whether the entertaining is lavish or more intimate, then Villa Picolette is the ideal property for those seeking to enjoy the lifestyle and climate of the French Riviera.

With 7 bedrooms, separate staff accommodation, immaculate gardens and the obligatory wine cellar this property comes with a unique pedigree and occupies a special place in modern literary history.

Price: 26 million Euros.

Scanpay – The Newest Way To Pay Via Your Mobile

Tags

, , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

ScanPay is a revolutionary new way to accept payments via mobile phones by turning the shoppers camera into a credit card reader.

Research has shown that many people who buy via their mobile abandon the purchase due to difficulties at the final payment, so this new payment method could help ease the stress and increase sales from mobile users.

ScanPay is a credit card scanning solution for iOS & Android and thanks goes to top French business school Essec for the financial support which allowed the software to be developed in the Epitech labs.ScanPay plans to be integrated into more than 10,000 apps from now to 2014 and it continues to garner attention from mobile development agencies all around the world. Some mobiles apps, on the App Store and on Google Play, have already started to use the payment method.
If you are worried about security, don’t be as ScanPay does not store credit card numbers, and neither do their processors. All server communications use 256-bit SSL-encryption and are hosted in secure facilities.

How it works.
To scan a credit card, the user simply has to hold the credit card briefly in front of the camera. ScanPay will automatically capture and run recognition on the credit card details.

ScanPay then prompts the user to enter the 3 digits code manually before proceeding to confirm the payment with a payment service provider.

Shopping just got even easier ladies, thanks scanpay!

Swimwear Trends 2013

Sun, sea and sand, get ready to hit the beach and step out in bright, bold and sassy swim pieces. This summer is hot, hot, hot!

Retro Cruise

A new take on the 1930s brings a fantasy element to transatlantic crossings and boating vacations. Retro bikinis and bathing suits feature sharp geometric graphics, while dots, stripes and figures mix humour with preppy allure. Sailor details, such as twisted rope straps and belts, remain strong for beachwear; they look fresh when paired with eyelet embroidery, contrast top stitching and pleats. Graphic colourways strengthen as marine blues and reds amalgamate with pink, orange and deckchair green.

Miami Deco

Miami influence that fuses artificial lighting-inspired neon and
fluorescent hues with Art Deco tones and styling of the 1950s. Swimwear silhouettes look athletic and trims have
sporty allure, featuring toggles, cords and fancy zippers. Inspired by citrus-y fruit cocktails and luxurious floral
compositions, prints update with high-tech filters. For silhouettes, mini and maxi lengths look sexy in transparent
lightweights or opaque shapewear fabrics. Classic sportswear neutrals and electric turquoise will temper
fluorescents.

Mirage

Desert notions mismatch with Amazonian ideas in Mirage. A peculiar wild yet modern mood combines mesh with metallics and animal skin prints. Embellishments include raw-cut ribbon and piping, and tiny glass, mother-of pearl or other wild material surface decorations. Evoking ethnic references, animal skin patterns go with water colour stripes inspired by rippling desert sands. Silhouettes play with draping and asymmetry, and twisted and braided straps create wildly chic swimwear. Colours oscillate between twilight skies and golden sands with black and white as anchors.

Island

Features luxurious tropical elements and a relaxed, nonchalant attitude for swimwear. Playful combinations
have mini boxers layering over one-piece swimsuits, while bikinis pair with mini skirts. This vacation-y air extends
to prints; popping geos mix with lush flower, tropical jungle, exotic bird of paradise and parakeet motifs. Multicolor
pearls and rhinestones adorn appliqués, buckles and closures. A colorful feminine palette emphasizes yellow,
mandarin and pink. Black and white introductions create contrasting harmony.
