[Exuser66]

Seit gestern ist beautypedia von Paula online:
https://www.beautypedia.com/home.aspx
Es ersetzt den früher schon kostenpflichtigen update newsletter. HIer sind nun fast alle Produkte ausführlich beschrieben und getestet, man kann auch mal reingucken.
Ich bin begeistert von der Aussicht, in Zukunft immer alles vorher nachgucken zu können, zwei Highlights habe ich euch mal kopiert:
crema nera von armani:
Claims:
A unique cell regenerating cream inspired by the Italian island of Pantelleria. Containing a unique formulation of obsidian, a natural mineral compound extracted from the petrified lava on Pantelleria, Crema Nera perfectly captures the Earth's rejuvenating secrets. This exceptional, patented formula is scientifically proven to actively restore and revitalize skin's natural radiance and regenerate surface cells. The immaculate white cream helps to uncover your skin's beauty, life and youth. Boosts skin radiance. Helps refine and perfect skin texture. Nourishes and hydrates.

Review:
In an attempt to justify the outrageous price for this product, Armani’s marketing team has concocted a story of heroic proportions. This “cell regenerating cream” was supposedly inspired by Giorgio Armani’s trips to Pantellaria, an Italian island between Sicily and Tunisia. Somehow Armani discovered that the petrified lava from this island’s volcanoes contains everything needed to “nearly perfectly recapture the earth’s rejuvenating secrets.” (Ah, so the fountain of youth is really in Italy). So basically what they’re asking you to swallow is that fossilized lava can somehow generate new skin cells and restore radiance to aging skin. According to an article in the August 2007 issue of fashion magazine W, L’Oreal (Armani’s owner) researchers studied obsidian (volcanic rock) on this island and worked with experts on volcanoes at Naples’s Vesuvian Observatory. The minerals sodium, potassium, silica, and iron are claimed to be collectively responsible for oxygenating skin (which by the way generates free-radicals) and helping skin to absorb water (something the top dead layers do exceptionally well all on their own if there is enough moisture in the environment). In short, those minerals or any lava are useless topically on skin and absorbing water is only a small part of what makes skin healthy.

This water- and silicone-based moisturizer does contain all of those minerals, but none of them are capable of achieving skin-perfecting results, including regenerating cells. There is a tiny amount of salicylic acid, but certainly not enough to prompt exfoliation (now that would have been really helpful for skin).

Beyond all of the nonsense claims and useless input from volcanic experts, this is a shockingly boring formula whose only redeeming value is a silky, elegant texture. The fifth ingredient is paraffin, as in paraffin wax, and the other thickening agents that make up the bulk of this product are as inexpensive as it gets. There are a few token antioxidants in here, but whatever slight benefit they may have provided is lost because of jar packaging. Armani stated that his goal was “to have one cream for a lifetime … I want one product that does everything.” Lots of women feel that way, too, but there is no product that can fill that bill (who knows what new discoveries lay around the corner?) and this product doesn’t even come close to making a valid attempt.

Crema Nera falls drastically short of being an all-encompassing product for anyone’s skin: it does not contain sunscreen, is inappropriate for blemish-prone skin, won’t be emollient enough for very dry skin, and lacks ingredients that reinforce skin’s structural components. On top of all that, the fragrance and fragrance components can be problematic for sensitive skin. When all is said and done, Crema Nera is the skin-care version of a red carpet fashion faux pas.

und, damit ihr seht, dass sie nichts gegen armani hat, hier die lsf:
Luminous Silk Foundation is the foundation every Armani makeup artist I spoke to raves about. It’s not hard to see why, because this liquid foundation has a fluid, ultra-smooth texture that floats over the skin and dries to a natural, slightly matte finish with a faint hint of shine. For light coverage and an unbelievably skinlike result that comes in 15 mostly gorgeous colors for fair to dark skin, this foundation is tough to beat. The only misstep is shade 0, which is pure white and tends to look ashen. Luminous Silk Foundation is best for normal to slightly dry or slightly oily skin.

Ich hoffe, ich konnte euch ein bisschen neugierig machen. Zusammen mit den MUA-reviews ist man dann ganz gut informiert.

Tolle Homepage, danke Janne!

[Kadesha]

habe kürzlich ihre neueste Buchausgabe gewonnen und finde es wirklich interessant. es sind aber recht viele internationale marken drin und ich vermisse so einige

[Exuser37]

Danke, janne
Woher hast du denn die Info? In ihren cosmetic-cop-newslettern war das nicht angekündigt?!

Muss man sich da anmelden, kostet das etwas?

[Kadesha]

die liegt u.a. dem buch bei

[Exuser66]

Ich war Abonnentin ihres kostenpflichtigen cosmetic-counter-updates, das hat sie eingestellt und dafür habe ich einen zeitanteiligen Zugang zu dem beautypedia bekommen, den ich aber sicher verlängern werde, denn das ist echt cool, so gut sind nicht mal die MUAs, aber wenn du Paula und die MUAs hast, bist du echt informiert.

[Exuser37]

24,95 Dollar pro Jahr kostet der Zugang, ist das richtig?

Hach, ich schwanke noch Bei den MUA's bin ich ja auch registriert (da ist es allerdings ja kostenlos...)

Auf jeden Fall finde ich eine Website interessanter als in Form von Newslettern....

Schade, dass man nicht mal kostenlos reinschnüffeln kann, so dass man sehen würde, was man für das Geld bekommt.

[CharmingKat]

Man könne ja die Jahresgebühr mit anderen teilen und den Zugang gemeinsam benutzen
Uii, wer hat das denn gesagt

[Exuser66]

Da gibt es doch die Möglichkeit des Reinschnupperns, sneek peek oder so.
