Ordering Shoes from Javari.co.uk to India

P.S. - Javari ships to most of the countries around the world, so ladies no matter what country you reside in, you can quench your thirst for shoes from Javari.

For all the shoes fanatics this would be a blessing. After using http://www.javari.co.uk/ while living in UK, when I got back to India the dearth of good shoe brands (Especially the vegan options) was hugely disappointing.

I decided to look beyond the stores in India and to my pleasure discovered that a host of international websites ship to India. So I turned to Javari. Shopping from Javari was a piece of cake and a delight (they have a huge shoe collection).

After browing through myriad options, I finally squared on these Leopard Print Pumps and ordered it from http://www.javari.co.uk/ (yes from UK). Holymoly!!! Imagine my surprise when the postman arrived to deliver them at my Mumbai address in flat 3 days. Can you believe it? An amazing pair of shoes that looked just as good as they did on the website (for better pictures I looked at Lipsy's website) arriving in exact three days all the way from England with all the costs paid (yes postage and customs).

A quick review of Javari exprience -

Ordering from javari.co.uk was a piece of cake. It took barely a few minutes to order and the moment I keyed in my address, they give the final cost that includes the duties, so you exactly know how much its going to cost you.

Well they sure charge a bomb for shipping to India through priority express service, £20 (approx Rs 1,700) to be precise (there was no alternate shipping option), but considering that these shoes were on sale I didn't mind paying the cost (it was still a bargain).

And the best part? They offer free 365-days returns. So you have one whole year to think if you want to keep them and in this period you might as well find someone who's going to UK and can return for much cheaper.

The only thing I'd recommend Javari is to improve the quality of the pictures they use on the website. The shoes don't look as good on their website as they do in original (while on most websites its the other way round). So a buyer might skip buying a otherwise good looking shoe). Please do something about it.

Other than that ordering from them is a ten on ten!!!

These shoes are 'the perfect' addition to my shoe closet and I am absolutely loving them. They lift up even a very simple outfit.

This is not a paid or sponsored post. 100% Beautify's opinion without any bias.

Fashionably Disastrous

We know that the celebrities have to reinventtheir styles to get an edge over others all the time and create a trend, but sometimes the pressure gets so much that they just don't realise the difference between what is style and style disaster.

One such case was with Miley Cyrus, the Hanna Montana actress. The ripped jeans, cutout t-shirt, studded boots make for an interesting look, but when the outcome is what Miley wore, certainly it is a disaster.

The look obviously is edgy but not stylish at all. This look does not really give a very good inspiration, and I hope the teens would not try to imitate it.

Ten Best Perfumes For Winter

It is time to swap your summer fragrance for one that is more fitting with the days which are growing shorter and colder. In winter your perfume will develop more slowly and last much longer than it will when worn on a hot day. Winter perfumes gravitate towards bolder, warmer and intense smell. They are confident and potently feminine, rich and spicy, sexy and musky and romantic and sensuous.

These are the best hand-picked perfumes in no particular order that will make you smell divine with an air of sophistication while easily warming up the winter chill.
So get a whiff of these 10 most fabulous PERFUMES to smell delectable this WINTER.

1. Serpentine by Roberto Cavalli - A floral ambery fragrance with sultry oriental notes, Top Notes: mango flower, mandarin and artemisia; Middle Notes: tahitian tiare, violet leaves, black pepper; Dry Down: sandalwood, tolu balm and amber. It is rich, exotic, sensual, bold, sophisticated and a dangerous love affair. This is definitely a "not your average bear" eau de parfum- it isn't the sweet light/green or tropical florals we see so much lately. The opening note is a bit strong but it starts smelling even better as the time goes by. Just a little whiff goes a long way. You are sure to be complimented everytime you spritz this heavenly perfume (I always have been). Winter is a perfect time to choose a richer, fuller fragrance and this scores on both. Definitely recommended.
Word of caution: not for women who only like sweet, soft smells.
.
2. Delices de Cartier by Cartier - The dark red flacon, inspired by a Cartier brooch, is gorgeous and glistens like a jewel. The fragrance features frozen morello cherry, bergamot, pink, white and yellow jasmine, pink pepper, freesia, violet, tonka beans, amber and sandalwood. With a floral-fruity smell, the perfume is definitely richer with a beautiful harmony amongst the floral, fruity and ambery facets. The mix of fuity and woody fragrance smells divine and it is lighter than what you would expect from the House of Cartier. Key note: it lasts all day.

3. Organza by Givenchy - Blanketed with cinnamon, cedar, patchouli, vanilla and amber notes ORGANZA is sensual, vibrant, and composed of strength, it is not the smell of a little girl, or some flirty teenager. It is womanly. A super-strong but truly feminine perfume; even a little goes long way. Organza is sure to awaken your senses in the midst of the cold season. Don’t be shy - dazzle in dawn or dusk with this sensual perfume.

4. L'or de Torrente by Torrente - You will love the bottle of L'or, it is conventionally gorgeous; created by Herve Van Der Straeten. In fact it was the bottle that first compelled me to buy the perfume, but soon I loved the smell too. It is delicious and perfect for winters. A blend of black currant along with tangerine, hints of coffee, rose, vanilla, orchid and invaluable wood. L'or de Torrente is perfect for evening wear though does not last very long but long enough to last the evening.

5. 212 by Carolina Herrera - Every woman who has a love affair with Perfumes will surely have a bottle of 212. A long-lasting, off beat, light floral fragrance with musk undertones. An exciting fragrance experience that wraps the wearer in an intriguing veil of femininity and confidence - live life in the moment. Its light floral scent can last all day and provide mellow musky undertones for those intimate moments. I will call it a timeless fragrance for all seasons. This enticing fragrance is perfect for any time of day.

6. Euphoria by Calvin Klien - The sensual, rich tone of Euphoria makes it a must-have addition to your perfume's winter wardrobe. It has an addictive oriental fragrance that contrasts exotic fruits, seductive florals and a rich, creamy signature. The mix generates a spicy smell perfect for the winter.

7. Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb - Need a little luxury in a bottle cut like a multi-faceted diamond? This ultra-floral fragrance is just your pick. An all time classic, Flowerbomb is a high end scent with a mélange of creamy florals (jasmine, orchid, freesia, orange blossom, rose) resting on a warm base of patchouli and vanilla. The soft sweetness of Flowerbomb does not require effort to wear and its plush smell is not too brash or loud. Full-bodied and robust, it's for headstrong gals with a soft side. The perfect winter pick-me-up.

8. Romance by Ralph Lauren - Ralph Lauren has a range of one of the best scents ever and Romance is no different. Romance evokes the timeless essence of falling in love. The sensual essence of velvety woods, extravagant florals and seductive musk will definitely flower you with compliments. A refreshing fragrance that is sexy yet subtle and sophisticated (not too strong not too sweet), something that you can wear to visit your boyfriend's parents the first time (I read the boyfriend part in a magazine and really liked the idea).

9. Elle by Yves Saint Lauren - Love the smell; unpredictable and unique. A recent addition in the perfume market, Elle is the essence of femininity which embodies Yves Saint Laurent. A vibrantly feminine, audacious fragrance that blends dazzling floral and woody notes, including peony, pink berries and patchouli. It lasts longer and is perfect for this part of the winter, dramatic, nothing understated and beautiful.

10. Chance by Chanel - What I like about this fragrance is that it is a younger, fresher, floral fragrance from Chanel and a nice diversion from their usual heavy, overpowering scents. One of those perfumes that women of all ages can wear. Sounds contrasting? It will make you smell younger yet sophisticated, rich yet heavenly.


Here is a tip on how and where to wear perfume on your body?
Always apply perfume starting with lower body and working your way up to the top.
- A small amount of the perfume should be applied first on the pulse points of your body including inner wrists, inside of your elbows, behind knees and ears. The pulse helps to send out the scents.
- Spraying a little perfume into the air and walk straight into it helps diffuse perfume over the body.

Never rub wrists together after applying perfume. It will weaken and crush the smell. Consider using the same fragrance in various products including bath gel, body lotion, after bath spray and finally apply perfume, perhaps using stronger EDP Spray at the end. Absolutely do not apply perfume to jewelry. It may damage jewelry.

The "Hair Straightner"

Getting the Best Hair Straightener for your hair
Once you have realised that using a hair straightener is the best hair straightening method - if used properly it does not cause much damage, it does not cost a lot, it is easy to use and provides the desired hair structure in no time, now the crucial part is selecting the right hair straightener.
There are several great hair straightener available in the market (though your options are limited if you are buying in India) – Morphy Richards, Nicky Clarke, Remington, Babyliss, Revlon, Vidal Sasoon, Sedu, FHI, T3, Maxiglide. But amongst all GHD Hair Straightener is our top pick. I have used quite many straighteners, but no comparison with GHD.

I would recommend GHD Professional Ceramic Hair Straightener to all.
They are fabulous. GHD styling irons are unbelievably more efficient than the cheaper varieties. With GHD’s your hair last straight longer, you don’t need to do each strand again and again just run it once or twice and your hair are straight and non-frizzy. It leaves the hair soft and shiny and of course perfectly straight (I have been using them for four years now and they are fab).

The GHD technology is also renowned for looking after your hair, as opposed to burning the life out of it. But frequent use of any straightener will damage your hair, so avoid the use as much as possible.

They score on safety features too. If they are plugged in but are inactive for a certain amount of time they automatically turn off to prevent fires. Their hair straighteners have a built in microprocessor which is totally unique and regulates the temperature 5 times a second, which is shown by the flashing LED. The new straighteners beep when they are hot enough to use, so you don’t forget they are on.

You can also create curl, waves or flicks with the new style GHDs due to the curved edges and create gorgeous ringlets.

They are expensive but totally worth it. They are a good investment – their good quality ensures they last longer than the cheap ones and give much better results.


How much do they cost?
Their prices start from about £109 (you can find good deals online). In India I think the price range is from Rs 10,000.


GHD Too expensive?
Read the guide below on selecting a straightener.What to look for when buying a Hair Straightener
You may not be want to shell out an exorbitant sum of money for a straightner. In that case here are some important facts and features that you will need to take into consideration when buying a hair straightening iron (styling iron).


Plate Type - The first thing that you should look at is the ceramic plates. Your straightener must have ceramic plates. Don't go for aluminium plates.
Width - Does the ceramic hair straightening iron you are considering buying have different widths? A mini-styler is best for short or men’s hair. Wider plates enable you to quickly work through larger sections of hair making it ideal for thicker or heavier hair (GHD IV Salon Styler).
Weight - the lighter the better as it will be easier to use.
Heating time - How long does the hair straightening iron take to heat up? It is important that your straightener does not take too long to heat up. When in hurry this feature will be crucial. The GHD Styler’s plates heat up fast.
Safety - Are there any safety features? Like the irons should turn off automatically or beep if inactive for long.
Price - Well you should definitely not compromise on quality and buy a cheap bad quality product. After all it is your hair. You must remember that purchasing a hair straightener is a one time investment which will improve your life style for years. Within a good brand itself you can find range of options. Decide which one will be best for you and be light on your budget.

Where to find them?
GHD in India
The only place I have come across that sells GHD Styling Irons is Toni and Guy in Mumbai. You can also find them on eBay, but I will still prefer buying in a store.
Toni and Guy: 207-208 Allied Bungalow, Ground Floor, St. John’s Road, Pali Naka, Bandra (W), Mumbai. Phone: 022-26400163/169

GHD in United Kingdom
You can buy them online from GHD’s website. There are other websites that sell GHD but be sure of the product authenticity. If you want to see the product and then buy, many good hair salons stock GHD


But Remember

Ceramic flat irons cause considerably less damage to hair than less expensive flat irons that use metal or plastic heating elements (or have less ceramic on their plates). But the hard truth is this: regular, prolonged exposure to heat – especially if your hair is already damaged, chemically treated or thin – will cause some stress to your hair structure.

The impact of heat styling can be lessened by using conditioners daily – and if you notice tress stress, try deep conditioning once a week (even with home remedies like curd, avocado or olive oil hair treatments). Before heat styling, use heat treatments to prepare your hair for the process (let dry completely before styling). Make sure your hair is as clean and dry as can be - damp hair in a flat iron will sustain more damage than dry hair and could instantly frizz up. Unless, of course, you use a wet-to-dry - safe for use on damp hair, with the added benefit of eliminating the need for blow drying (you’ll still need to towel dry thoroughly and comb your hair out before ironing). And if you’re still using a traditional metal heated hair dryer, upgrade to one that uses ceramic elements as well – any professional hair dryer uses negative ionic heating to help protect hair, and dries much quicker so heat exposure is lessened.

One final tip: give your hair a break from heat styling on days when you don’t really need it! It’ll look that much better when it’s time to shine.


Disclaimer: Sedu Hair Straighteners are also considered one of the best in the world, but I did not yet get a chance to try them and amongst all the others, GHD straighteners are the best.

The Encyclopedia of Lip Balms

Welcome to Encyclopedia of Lip Balm! This single post is your one stop shop for everything I've ever written about lip balm! It'll be updated every time I try out or review a new lip balm, so check back often.

Inspired by the Encyclopedia of Mascara by Beauty Addict, I came up with the Encyclopedia of Lip Balm. It is one of the most essential beauty product and is found even with girls who do not use much of make-up. It is not a luxury but a necessity. Finding a good lip balm is often difficult, most of them give good results on application but within a few minutes you forget that you ever even applied something to your lips and you end up reapplying it again. This Encyclopedia will help you buy the right lip balm.

.

Lip Balms are arranged alphabetically by brand. Starred lip balms indicate "Beautify's Top Picks."

Now a little bit about me, I have pink lips but they often get chappy so lip balm is my all time saviour, it goes with me everywhere. I prefer lip balm that instantly moisturises my lips, soothes my dry/chapped lips and keeps them hydrated longer; I am more into natural, organic stuff, so my lips remain pink forever.

So while you may not agree with every review here, these are my 100% honest opinions on all the lip balms I've tried. Enjoy - and feel free to post your own impressions in the comments!

And for those looking for a good lip balm - ELIZABETH ARDEN'S EIGHT HOUR CREAM (in tube) is the best lip balm, ever.

.

La Mer, world's most expensive lip balm ($45 for just 0.32 oz; £35 for 9g), is also featured in the Encyclopedia of Lip Balms and is one luxury definitely recommended for your lips.

Body Shop Born Lippy ****

Body Shop has a great variety of flavours in Born Lippy Range - strawberry, passionberry, rasberry, mango and peach, mint, watermelon and satsuma. Amongst all the born lippy lip balms I have tried, Watermelon is my personal

favourite. Leaves lips moisturised, soft and supple, smells great, gives a nice shine and a subtle colour to my lips (my lips look great after application). Lasts reasonably longer. It is also inexpensive, though the packaging is what I don't like - you have to use your finger for application which is not very hygienic. A tube, stick or lipstick case is preferable.
.

Body Shop Lip Butter

The name butter will make you want to buy especially with flavours like brazil nut, shea (they smell great), but the good part ends here. The lip butter is greasy, does not last long (barely thirty minutes) and needs to be rubbed thoroughly to lips so that it spreads well. One good thing about it is after application the lips look great especially with the coconut lip butter.

.

by Terry - Rose Lip Balm ****
This lip balm hydrates and nourishes the lips. It smells feminine (I am not very fond of rose fragrance though), sweet and light and also contains SPF15. Post application the lips for sure look kissable (and glowing) and feel good. It contains essential oils and natural ingredients like Rose Flower Wax, Russian Pastel Oil, and Shea Butter, while sunscreen and antioxidants shield skin from harmful environmental elements. Rose is also Mischa Barton's favourite lip balm.

Ceci Cela

They have Lip Balm (no animal fats or synthetic dyes) in two scents - almond and spearmint with a SPF 15. I prefer their almond lip balm. It leaves the lips extremely soft and hydrated and leaves no waxy-feeling or stickiness. Although I have observed that lip balms with SPF have turned the corner or my lips black.

Chanel Hydrating Lip Treatment ****
As the name suggests, this lip balm instantly hydrates the lips and makes them look and feel soft. It purely works as a lip balm, so don't expect your lips to get super glossy after application. And it also offers sun protection. It also lasts longer on the lips, I feel that this is one of the few lip balms that does not require frequent application. It comes in a black lipstick case that is easy to use and can be instantly identified as Chanel, through logo on top of the case, good for all those wanting to flaunt. However compared to other good products it is a bit pricey, but then its Chanel.

Clarins Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm

This lip balm gives a silky smooth finish and gives a shimmery lip gloss like effect. Lips instantly feel soft, moisturised, plumped up and rosy. But the effect does not last long. If you do not keep reapplying often, the lips feel dry and chapped again. Also it is a little sticky, does not taste good and cannot be said as great value for money.

Elizabeth Arden ***** - I will rate it the best Lip Balm, ever.

Elizabeth Arden's Eight Hour Cream can be used to soothe, moisturise, protect and highlight skin, but I particularly love using it as an ultra-intensive lip balm and gloss. It's very soothing indeed and needs only occasional re-application when compared with similar products. It has a herbal, medicinal smell, which some may not like, but then the product is so good that you will forget the smell and even get used to it once you start using it. And the plus is, it is not just a lip balm but have many other uses - it is primarily used to "soothe minor skin irritations" and "for symptoms of chapping, peeling or flaking due to minor burns, sunburn, windburn, scrapes, abrasions or cracked lips" as suggested by the blurb on the tube. EA also has an eight hour lip protectant with SPF 15, but I find the cream more effective. My absolute favourite and even celebrities, models and make-up artists worldwide keep the iconic Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream tube at hand for all manner of beauty emergencies. It is indeed the Best Lip Balm available in the market.

La Mer Lip Balm

La Mer Lip Balm (one of the world's most expensive lip balm; $45 for just 0.32 oz) moisturises and soothes even the most dry and chappy lips and lasts on lips for hours keeping them softer. It has a light texture, goes on smooth and is not greasy like most of the lip balms. It works on contact to soften roughness, relieve dryness and flaking and help heal seriously dry lips. Must have, especially in winters, if you have very dry lips. The balm contains an essential protein found in the arctic that helps insulate vulnerable lip skin from extreme conditions of heat and cold. Mint comforts the lips and enhances the balm with a cool, refreshing flavor. The results are immediate – lips look and feel smoother, softer, plumper – yet long lasting. A luxurious indulgence certainly recommended and I am sure you will love the taste. Liv Tyler loves the product and swears by it.

L'occitane Anti-drying Lip Balm

Comes in a stick, the case is not alluring and even the product fails to deliver the anti-drying claim it makes. It is sticky, leaves a waxy feeling, has a weird smell, tastes bad and the effect of the balm does not last very long. Though the balm stick lasts longer than the usual lip balms. Overall, the French company fails to deliver as it other products does. Not the worst lip balm, but definitely not worth a buy.

Nivea

Easy to use, cheap and effective. It is a good product and I definitely recommend this to men. Lip Balm for men is what I would say this is.

Shiseido Protective Lip Conditioner SPF10

You might have to reapply every fourty minutes or so, but otherwise the Shiseido Lip Blam is great. I love the silver case it comes in - looks great, easy to carry and easy to apply. It gives a great shine and gives my lips a nice colour after application. But you might want to consider other product if you don't want reapplication every fourty minutes.

Available at departmental stores worldwide.

Suki

They say it is long wear lip balm that heals and prevents chapping without a glossy or waxy residue, and I completely agree. This lip balm delivers, but is sticky and I do not like the smell. However apart from this, the product delivers all that is required from a lip balm. But not a brand that is easy to find (you will not find it in India). Highly recommend if you prefer natural and organic products.

Vaseline

Most inexpensive and one of the oldest lip balm ever in the market. Soothes chapped lips and instantly fixes the driest and cracky lips. The packaging of this product is very simple and the tube is easy to use. It does not taste or smell of anything, which is good in a way. It is not sticky and doesn't irritate or sting. However the product contains petroleum jelly, which some dermatologists have claimed is harmful for skin. A few of my friends have also mentioned that regular use of Vaseline Lip Balm has turned their lips darker. I personally feel safer with natural rather than artificial/chemical products. Although all the lip balms use chemicals, but natural biotics are safer and less toxic. Especially since lip balm is something you end up eating, will advice to go for as natural product as possible.

.

Buying Lip Balm

Take due care while buying lip balm. Please do not but cheap lip balms, as you apply them to lips and it goes in your stomach. You don't want to eat harsh, cheap chemicals which maybe toxic and cause damage to your health. If you do not wish to spend so much, use some home remedies. Apply milk cream (malai) regularly and as often as possible. Before going to bed, massage olive oil gently to your lips (generously). Buy only good quality lip balm and check the ingredients carefully.

Look out for the one that contains natural substances. Otherwise, it might irritate your dry lips instead of making them soft and supple. The lip balms that contain vegetable oils, like olive oil and almond oil, are the best for lips. These vegetable oils help lips in producing natural oils and become clean and shiny.

It is advisable to buy lip balm that offers sun protection, especially for summers. However, it is not necessary that it will suit your lips too. Some people are sensitive to sunscreen and they should go for the lip balms without any sun protection.

.

And to conclude, The Best Lip Balm in the world title goes to Elizabeth Arden Eight Hours Cream.
