Nose Straightener Pro - is it the best Deviated Septum Surgery Alternative?

I am born with a fairly big, slightly hooked nose. And then I broke it so now I got a hump on it, too. Just great! Life isn’t really fair. Some days I hate it because I feel like I’m not supposed to have the hump (since I’m not born with it and it has nothing to do with my heritage etc.) and other days I like it because it has grown to become a part of me and also it is what sets me apart and makes me even more unique. Although it has always been a love and hate relationship between me and my nose, I still think that a lot of things would be different if I have a straight and smaller one. I would be more confident and people would stop teasing me about it.

I considered getting a nose job. I went to see two doctors to consult about my nose, and they suggested rhinoplasty. However, staying in the hospital, having to feel the pain, having bruises and maybe scarring scare the hell out of me. I don’t think I could go through it, so I sought another option. I even thought of getting my nose broken the second time, maybe that would return my nose to its original appearance. I know, it’s funny and stupid!

One day, I found this website selling products that could help solve different nose conditions or problems non-surgically. I checked their products one by one and found out that their selling one that I’m looking for. It’s called the Perfect Nose Straightener Pro, which only cause $32.50, cheaper compared to the thousand bucks that you need to spend when getting a nose job. 

It does exactly what it says on its website. The device is created to perfectly align nasal septum deviation most commonly known as crooked nose or bent nose. Perfect Nose Straightener Pro will fix any form of deviated nasal septum caused by congenital malformation, physical trauma, diseases and all other causes. Perfect Nose Straightener Pro also reshapes the nostril to ensure that they are perfectly symmetrical in shape and size. The device is made up of unique PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) frame that exerts a symmetrical pressure of 45 mmHg on 6 external nasal points via the lateral frame and 4 internal nasal points via the medial frame for optimum nasal realignment. This device is perfect for people who wants to straighten their nasal bridge as well as to achieve a symmetrical nostrils.

I noticed the results on the 3rd week of my continuous use. Perfect Nose Straightener Pro was able to correct the asymmetries of my nose and make my bumpy and hooked nose straight. It was what I have been longing to have for in years! And I love that it’s also painless! 

If you are experiencing the same insecurities as I did before, checking their website http://www.perfectnosenonsurgical.com and getting one of their products could help.

Review: Armand Basi in Red Eau de Toilette!

Today I am reviewing a women’s perfume, Armand Basi in Red. Let’s start with the packaging. It come in a simple white pack with a minimalist yet alluring grey motif on it which represents tree branches, that has little red flowers ready to blossom on it. It’s the simplicity of the design that make it so attractive!. The red against the grey branches gives it more emphasis.

The bottle is a gorgeous transparent, rectangle bottle with the same tree motif drawn onto the glass. The perfume is clear too. The tube that leads the perfume to the spray nozzle is so transparent that you need to look for it, in order to see it. Otherwise, it blends so well with the liquid inside. It is so clever!. This brand has absolutely captured the essence of the saying ‘Less is more’. The bottle couldn’t be any simpler and yet it is designed so artistically!

The scent of the perfume is strong and beautiful. The first thing you notice about it is a citrusy scent mixed with a floral note of jasmine. It has a slightly spicy note too though you can’t really place what it is at first. It lingers on for a long time. I definitely love this scent. It’s sensual and very attractive.

More info from the brand: The top notes are citrusy mandarin and bergamot, supporting an exotic, spicy note of cardamom and ginger. They symbolize positivity and radiance on an emotional level. The floral middle notes express femininity and joy: a garden of intense aroma, based on rose and jasmine, with the feminine touch of lily of the valley and the deep green of violet leaves. The base notes hold the fragrance’s woody warmth, composed of the most sensual notes of wood and musk, a complexity set against the delicate freshness of moss.

The bottle contains 100 ml and costs AED 250.

Review: Guess Night Access Men’s perfume!

Today I am reviewing the latest men’s perfume by popular brand, Guess. It’s called Night Access. It’s an intriguing name. It’s outer package is a pleasing dark grey and green one. It’s bottle is a heavy translucent cube, designed stunningly with an electric green body and a dark grey cap. I adore the masculine design of it.

The scent is spicy and woody at first. It’s notes are sexy and intimate. It lingers on sensually for a long time. It exudes confidence and it’s one that’s made especially for a confident man!.

Top Notes: Saffron, Malaysian Elemi, Florida Grapefruit

Middle Notes: Geranium, Cedarwood

Base Notes: Black Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Patchouli

More from the brand : The fragrance’s power is immediately apparent in its top notes of spicy saffron, citrusy Elemi from Malaysia, and sparkling Florida grapefruit. The middle note is peppery and sensual, with interplay between green Geranium and quiet Cedarwood. Finally, the base dries down into an intense cocoon that lingers on the skin, with deep Black Vanilla, powdery Tonka Bean, and earthy Patchouli.

I highly recommend this perfume. It’s my husband’s favorite right now and I love it when he wears it. This perfume is available at Wojooh and Sephora.

Price : AED 205 for a 50ml bottle.

Review : Clear Shampoo & Conditioner!

I recently tried Clear’s Intense Hydration shampoo and conditioner. Here are my thoughts about it:

Shampoo

The shampoo is step one, which is ‘Cleanse’. It has a creamy, luxurious texture and the lightest bluish tinge to it. It comes in a sturdy bottle with a flip open lid at the top. It is fused with Cactus extract. This shampoo is for all hair types especially those with dry scalp. It is supposed to penetrate deep into the scalp and replenish it with essential hydration.

The highlight of this shampoo is that it doesn’t dry out the hair or scalp. However, from the description of the products, I expected to have an intensely hydrated feeling after using it. I didn’t feel that. It felt better than a regular shampoo but not great. Also, one of the main ingredients in it is Sodium Laureth Sulfate, which helps in creating lather but is not a good ingredient.

Price : AED 19.40 for a bottle containing 400ml.

It will last a good while but I don’t think I will buy it in future.

Conditioner

The Conditioner is step two, which is ‘Nourish’. It has a thick texture and a light blue tinge to it. This one is also infused with Cactus extract. After shampooing, massage a small amount on the lower half of your hair. It’s consistency is really nice and so easy to apply to the hair. The bottle has a flip open lid at the bottom, so as to easily dispense the product while you are in the shower. I leave it on for about 5 to 6 minutes usually.

I really liked this product. My hair became noticeably softer and felt more hydrated after using it. I do recommend you try it out!. This is definitely a product I will buy again.

Price : AED 19.85 for a bottle containing 400ml.

Both these products are the anti-dandruff kind. However, I don’t have dandruff right now. So, I can’t really say how well it works on dandruff. Both of these have a pleasant and clean smell that lingers on your hair for almost 24 hours. It is meant for everyday usage, but I don’t use it more than 2 times a week.

Review : Mad Hippie Exfoliating Face Serum!

Last October, I bought Mad Hippie’s Exfoliating face serum from iHerb. I love serums. That’s no secret. Mad Hippie, though unusually named, is an advanced skincare brand. All of their products have very powerful, natural antioxidant ingredients. The more powerful the ingredients, the better the results are.

I have been using it for about 2 months now and it’s a good time period to judge the product well. This serum contains 16 active ingredients in it. Those 16 ingredients are : Glycolic acid, Vitamin B5, Lactic acid, Matrixyl 3000, Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Sodium hyaluronate, White tea extract, Goji berry extract, PhytocellTec (Apple Stem cells of the rare Swiss apple which have been shown to protect skin cells from age related damages, in combination with a few other ingredients), Gigawhite (A natural blend of six organically grown alpine plants that lessen discoloration by inhibiting melanin production), Melatonin, Caffeine, Biotin, Tocopheryl acetate and Ceramide 3. This product contains no parabens, harmful chemicals, synthetic color or fragrance.

These ingredients work together to help shed dull, damaged skin & discoloration to reveal brighter, smoother skin. Within a couple of weeks, I could see the results!. My skin was visibly brighter. Even my family noticed it when they saw me after a gap of two weeks. There is a bouncy feel to my skin which is really healthy.

The outer packaging has cute floral designs on them. The brand believes in flower power and being close to nature when developing their products. The serum itself, comes in a dark brown glass bottle. It has a dropper, which is one of my favorite kind of packaging for such products. The serum is beige in color. It looks a bit sticky when you dispense it out through the dropper. However, when you apply it onto your face, it isn’t sticky at all. It’s almost liquid like, then. It gets absorbed into the skin, super fast. It smells like apple and coffee mixed together!. Though individually these smells are nice, combined am not a fan of it. So, I am disliking it’s scent however when looking at how amazing the product is, I can live with it!

The bottle contains 30 ml and will last a LONG time. You only need 2 drops each time. I give two long presses on the cap of the dropper. That dispenses enough amount to cover both my face and neck. The liquid consistency is easy to work with and spreads well. I use this every night right before applying an oil. To read my nighttime skincare routine, click here.

Since some of the ingredients in this serum can cause sensitivity to sun, it’s best advised to use it only at night. Use sunscreens, if you like to use it in the morning. I highly recommend this serum. This is one of the best serums I have ever used. It’s not just about having my skin brightened. It’s about the overall feeling of healthy skin that I just love!.

Price : $27.99 (AED 102.81) for a 30ml bottle. It seems really expensive but in the long run (since a bottle lasts really long), it’s a good investment. Also, iHerb has the lowest prices. It’s best to buy from there. Even Mad Hippie’s own website sells these for $34.99 (AED 128.52).

iHerb ships worldwide by the way. It ships from US, ultra fast. Use the code SCZ695 on your first purchase to receive an instant discount of upto $10.
