Duty Free Cosmetics – International Make Up Without The Markup

Posted on by blogger

For many of us buying the ‘big brand name’ cosmetics is more of a luxury purchase due to the costs involved, so when we travel to foreign countries we often look for great deals on such items. When we think we are getting great deals overseas, we often forget that we have to factor in tax and duty charges though. However, it is possible to buy “duty free” cosmetics! Where? You will notice dutyfree stores located in airports and CBD’s at which anyone who has a current airline boarding pass and proof of ID can purchase from.

Duty free cosmetics, skincare, and makeup items can also be found online as well as in the country you travel to, and knowing where to shop is all about learning what resources are available. There are certain limit allowances that duty free stores carry, so make sure that you are aware of this, as when you are shopping you will have to pay attention to how much you can buy at a time, in order to avoid further costs when you get back home.

When you are looking at purchasing duty free cosmetics it’s a really good idea to make a list of the items which you really need vs those which you would like. Some items are not always cheaper buying dutyfree compared with retail stores, so you should do some comparison shopping online to ensure that you spend your money on those items which are either rarely found in retail stores or really are at a bargain price. Once you know which items you are going to save on you can begin to make your list of ‘want’s’ and this is where most travellers often splash out and treat themselves to the latest brand name cosmetics.

Whether you are shopping online or in a foreign country, you can find all of your needs for duty free cosmetics if you are willing to take the time to look.

Nasal Reshaping Or Rhinoplasty-affordable Cosmetic Surgery In The Philippines

Posted on by blogger

Also known as Rhinoplasty, surgery of the nose improves the appearance and proportion of your nose, enhancing facial harmony and self confidence. Rhinoplasty can change nose size in relation to the other facial structures, nose width at the bridge, nose profile with visible humps or depressions on the bridge, nasal tip that is large or bulbous, drooping, or too upturned, nostrils that are large, wide or upturned, as well as nasal asymmetry and deviation.

Rhinoplasty is a highly individualized form of cosmetic surgery. Nasal reshaping aims to restore facial balance. Asian patients will usually need an implant (silicone, Gore-Tex, cartilage) to augment the nasal dorsum. On the other hand, Caucasian patients would usually require reduction rhinoplasty. The nasal tip is addressed in a variety of ways. Cartilage may be harvested from the back of the ear to augment the nasal tip. As an adjunct to nasal reshaping, alar trimming to address the flaring of the side of the nose (ala) is done to address patients with wide nostrils and flaring alar lobules.

The procedure is usually done under local anesthesia with light sedation and lasts from 1 to 2 hours depending on the extent of the procedure. Rhinoplasty is performed either using a closed procedure, where incisions are hidden inside the nose, or an open procedure, where an incision is made across the columella, the narrow strip of tissue that separates the nostrils. Through these incisions, the soft tissues that cover the nose are gently raised, allowing access to reshape the structure of the nose.

Bruising and swelling are to be expected post-operatively. Bruising should subside in 3-5 days and swelling should subside in 2 to 4 weeks. Sutures are removed on the 3rd to 5th day post-operatively. 7 to 10 days downtime is expected.

Celebrities That Have Undergone Plastic Surgery But Won’t Admit It

Posted on by blogger

It is pretty common knowledge that many actors, singers, models, reality TV stars, and other celebrities have undergone plastic surgery to make themselves look younger, give themselves the bodies they have always wanted, or improve the appearance of the face. However, even though it is totally obvious that some celebrities have undergone cosmetic surgery, they just won’t come out and admit that they have undergone treatment.

Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman finally admitted in a recent magazine interview that she has had Botox injections, but says that was in the past and she did not like the effects of the product. Kidman remained mum on the subject of plastic surgery, despite persistent rumors that the Academy Award winning actress has undergone breast augmentation, rhinoplasty, and liposuction. A simple Internet search of the actress reveals photos that were taken in the 80s; back then Kidman’s nose looks as though it has a different shapes and her lips were much thinner.

Madonna

A telltale sign of use of plastic surgery and non-invasive aesthetic treatments: women in their 40s, 50s, and up that do not have a single wrinkle on their face. Madonna is in her 50s and does not exhibit the normal signs of aging such as wrinkling of the skin or skin laxity. She credits a macrobiotic diet and stringent fitness routine, which includes yoga, for maintaining such a youthful appearance for her age. Plastic surgeons and gossipers agree that the Queen of Pop has likely undergone some type of facial plastic surgery procedure, or at the very least, non-invasive treatments such as chemical peels or laser skin resurfacing.

Kim Kardashian

The reality TV star has undergone non-invasive cosmetic treatments, including VelaShape and Botox injections, on her reality show. However, the buxom beauty denies having the plastic surgery procedures she is rumored to have undergone, such as butt augmentation, placement of breast implants, rhinoplasty, and lip enhancement. While it is hard to tell if her butt or breasts have been augmented, her nose does appear to have been reshaped sometime between the first and second seasons of her reality show.

China’s Men’s Cosmetics Market Needs To Be Developed

Posted on by blogger

In the early of the reform and opening up, China’s cosmetics sales was 350 million. In 2006 China’s cosmetics sales exceeded 100 billion for the first time. Subsequently, the sales of cosmetics industry grow rapidly. In 2009 the sales were 400 times of that in 1980.

From the January to August in 2010, the sales value of China’s cosmetics industry reached 124.309 billion yuan, an increase of 23%. In 2009, China’s cosmetic sales value reached 150.52 billion yuan, an increase of 11.2%.

From the January to August in 2010, the total profits of China’s cosmetics industry reached 10.459 billion yuan, an increase of 9.1%. In 2009, the total profits of China’s cosmetics industry reached 15.495 yuan, an increase of 12.5%.

The per capita consumption level of Guangdong, Shanghai and Beijing is significantly higher than the national average level. While the per capita consumption level of cosmetics in developed countries is much higher. China’s cosmetics market has great room for growth. China has become the third largest cosmetics sales market only after the United States and Japan. The current kinds of men’s cosmetics are still relatively few. Few brands can truly win the customer’s trust. Few large brands have launched men’s grooming products.

But clearly this simple skin care products can not meet the requirements of many men. But foreign brands are too expensive and small domestic brand is too cheap. Therefore, the major domestic manufacturers have started to develop technology for beauty products that are needed by more men. They also began to introduce some foreign beauty equipment.

Now there are more and more professional beauty services for men. Men’s grooming items will be more detailed, professional, no longer just facial care and foot massage. It has been refined out tens to hundreds of different series of facial care, body care and foot care.

The requirements of some women on the beauty are often beauty and character, but basically most of the men were concerned about the actual quality of their skin, whether the perfume is suited to their temperament and how to do more to cover up their beauty weaknesses. So men are more practical. The effect is gradually revealed, so their beauty consumption is more lasting.

At present, male skin care market is like nursing infants. It is still in its infancy. Both the domestic and international brands have launched their own skin care products for men to seize the market. In the next few years, the market competition of the Chinese men’s skin care products will be more intense.
