March 23, 2012 Paris B 33 Comments

Hands up who loves gadgets? I do, so I’m sticking 2 hands up in the air and waving them like I just don’t care… Sorry got carried away for a minute 😛 But I love it even better when its a beauty gadget because I’m always keen to know just what else they can come up with out there to help us with our beauty regime.

Enter the Talika Cream Booster® – a handy dandy hand held gadget inspired by space research.

Doesn’t it look all space age? Wait till I show you just how space age it can get 😉

What this pen-like gadget is, is a gadget designed to increase the efficacy of your skincare. We use our skincare for different targeted needs and for myself, my concerns would be anti-aging and skin brightening, and I use skincare targeted at those concerns. This gadget is designed to help those skincare that I slap on my skin be more effective and absorb better. Intrigued? You bet I was!

Hands up who remembers when I told you I was taking this for a 1 month test run? Not bad right? I actually managed to (almost) keep to my promise 😀

I’ve always been a bit of a gadget junkie. Not necessarily beauty gadgets though but there was a time when I was at the forefront of gadgetry be it mobile phones, netbooks and the like. But I soon fell off that bandwagon. Too pricey a hobby to upkeep if you ask me and gadgets get obsolete so quickly! But being presented with a beauty gadget on a silver platter was too hard to pass up 🙂

This is the Sharp IG-CM1 or the Sharp Portable Plasmacluster Ion Generator. A portable gadget that generates lots of ions and throws them into the air around you to create a space of cleaner fresher air to breathe in. They also claim beauty benefits in that of adding moisture to the skin and helping skin retain its elasticity (!!).

To know the technology behind Sharp’s trademarked Plasmacluster ion generation, I suggest you read my earlier introductory post. This one will be strictly to tell you what I think of this gadget after a month, and if it has any beauty benefits as it claims. Tough standards to measure up to, Sharp!

Oh me! Oh Mia! My Clarisonic Mia experience

September 21, 2011 Paris B 72 Comments

When I received the Clarisonic Mia in the mail and used it for the first time, I was so quick to tell you about it, and squeal with glee at my super smooth skin and how my blackheads just literally fell out. So thrilled. Like a kid with a new toy.

Fortunately, I’m a little older and wiser than a kid with a new toy, so I held on to it, refusing to review it despite crossing the 14 day mark with still very happy results. I crossed the 30 day mark also with happy results. But I held back. And properly so. Before I tell you why I say so, let me tell you a little about the Clarisonic Mia and what it is.

This, my friends is a glorified face washing gadget. Haha… truth hurts a bit when said that way right? 😉 I’d put it on par with an electric toothbrush for it does roughly the same thing i.e takes the trouble of washing your face (or brushing teeth) out of your hands and puts it into a gadget. I must say however, that for a face washing gadget, this does the job very very well.

Sharp Portable Plasmacluster Ion Generator : A Gadget To Clean The Air With Beauty Benefits

September 3, 2011 Paris B 18 Comments

I was recently invited to pay a visit to Sharp (getting to their HQ was an adventure in itself!) and learn a little about their Plasmacluster Ion (PCI) technology and I was quite amused when I realised that I already have my life filled with the Sharp PCI Technology – my fridge, my air-conditioner and my car. Amazing what you never notice 😀

But what I was really there for was to learn about this fascinating gadget – a Portable Plasmacluster Ion Generator that isn’t only portable, it boasts skin benefits too. Now, this we gotta see right?

Doesn’t it look just like a mobile phone? 😀 I thought it did. its about the size of an iPhone too but thicker. Nothing terribly bulky and the back flap opens out to a stand and to allow the ions to be emitted from the back of the gadget 😀 But what’s the beauty benefits you say?
