Things to consider while buying a concealer

8th October 2020
"Put concealer on all your problems!"

Though concealers aren’t the product we asked for, it is the product we need. Concealer is just like the magic spell of make-up items. With a flawless swipe of the applicator, several drops of the correct concealer will hide any black mark or stain, or even make dark circles disappear. However, just like every other makeup product, it can be confusing to choose the correct type of concealer for your skin. What to look for in a concealer? There are so many things to consider when buying a concealer. We have compiled a list of some of them to make it easier for you. Have a look!

Testing the concealer

You may do a swatch test to decide if the concealer is going to work for you if you buy your concealer from a store that offers free testing. Make sure the swabs are sanitary or you can just dot a small patch of skin with a little bit of the cream and see how well it can cover and blend there.

A further trick is to rub them around your wrist to test concealer colors. If they blend and cover the veins effectively, then when used to mask blemishes on the face, the shade will also work.

 

Shade Of Concealer

It can be hard choosing a shade of concealer for your face. Instead of choosing just one, it's always better to pick two separate colors. Why two? Often, when blurred out in office space-style fluorescent lighting versus natural lighting, the skin tone looks totally distinct. Using two concealers means you can add shade in different lighting that won't stand out sharply. 

When choosing a shade of concealer, another thing to remember is the hue of whatever stain or blemish you are attempting to cover with it. For instance, it's better to use a yellow-toned concealer to balance out the darker, purple-hued spots under the eyes if you're trying to cover dark circles. A concealer that better suits your exact skin tone will conceal them and balance out your skin color for spots of redness on the skin. 

A perfect method to guarantee that you choose a good concealer shade is to do a test patch in a position that gets a lot of natural light, such as an open window next to it.

 

Concealer Consistency 

Different concealers are manufactured in various structures. The quality of the concealer will make or break a good cover-up, making your blemishes stand out under your makeup by selecting the wrong form of quality. 

It is best to pick a concealer that looks rich, smooth, and hydrating if you are trying to cover dark under-eye circles. A stronger concealer can bind well with moisturizers and last further long on the skin there, as the skin under the eyes is delicate. 

 

Some tips to make your concealer last all day long

Priming your skin with a makeup primer before using any of the items is one of the easiest ways to ensure your concealer remains on your face throughout the day and efficiently covers imperfections. This provides a clean, seamless base for application and guarantees that during the everyday activities, the makeup will not slip easily.

A further tip for applying concealer is to gently apply the concealer using a small makeup brush. In order to create a lighter spot, this prevents the concealer from streaking down the sides of a raised area, such as a pimple. Gentle strokes from a makeup brush lightly and uniformly spread the product, avoiding any accidental highlighting.

Things to consider while buying a washing machine | Reviews Nepal

23rd September 2020
"Washing machines come in two different types- semi-automatic and fully-automatic."

Washing machines, the hassle-free equipment to wash your clothes conveniently, has been quite a trend even in Nepal for quite a time now. With busy schedules and people's tendency to seek convenience, the preference for washing machines is growing. However, not everyone can afford it as good washing machines are quite pricy and the ones that are cheaper might not do the work. Well, with depth research, you can surely find the washing machine that will be suitable for you. Here we provide you some ideas on things that should be considered while buying a washing machine.

Washing Machine Capacity

The capacity of the washing machine is measured in kilograms that are directly linked with the weight of clothes you plan to wash. If you have a larger family and wash the clothes once or twice a week then go after a large capacity washing machine. But if you plan on washing the clothes in a portion in a few days interval then you can also go after a medium or even small-capacity washing machine. The only problem will be that it will take more time to do all the laundry.

Type

Washing machines mainly are of two types semi-automatic washing machines which require a lot of human intervention and fully-automatic washing machines which is totally automated and you just have to put clothes for wash and take them out once they are done. Moreover, there are top-loading and front-loading automatic washing machines which differ from each other due to the positioning of the tubes for washing and drying. If you are tight on budget then go after semi-automatic washing machines where you will have to manually take the clothes out from the washing tube and put them into the dryer tube. And, in the case of automatic washing machines, front-loading washing machines are the most expensive that comes with a number of washing programs. Nonetheless, top-loading washing machines are also quite good as they offer decent wash programs at a smaller budget.

The material of Drum/Tub

The drum or Tub of a washing machine is simply the drum where you wash all the clothes and dry them. Being a major part of the washing machine, the buyer must not forget to examine its material. The drum, generally, is made up of stainless steel, plastic, or porcelain-enamel. Plastic tubs last longer than the enamel tubs as they rust pretty fast. Nonetheless, the tubs made up of stainless steel are the best.

Wash Settings

Wash settings are the wash programs that are available in the washing machines. Generally, the top-loading washing machines come with varieties of wash programs. From gentle wash for frail clothes to synthetic wash for cotton clothes, there are a variety of programs that vary in the amount of drum rotation and temperature. If you have such wash program alternatives, you can set the program as per the clothes you wash and can also save your favorite settings.

Spin Cycle

The spin cycle is determined by the revolution per minute that is used for drying your clothes. The higher the spin cycle or revolution per minute, the better the cloth dries. The spin cycle, however, differs among the clothes. For frail clothes, the spin cycle can be 300-500 rpm whereas for thicker clothes like jeans 1000 rpm will be the best.

Temperature control

It's difficult to wash the clothes at the same temperature throughout the year, especially during the winter. With a temperature control feature on your washing machine, you can control the temperature of the water in your washing machine. Besides, we all know that clothes are easier to clean with hot water rather than cold water.

Size of the geyser

A geyser once bought will be used by the entire family. So, keep the size of your family and the number of people who’ll use the geyser while buying one. An oversized geyser means heating of extra water that is not required if you have a family of 3. So, choose the size of the geyser according to the necessity in the family and save electricity.

Longevity and parts availability

Things to consider while buying a air conditioner

5th October 2020
"Make your investment worthwhile by taking prudent considerations before buying an air conditioner."

Air conditioner has become an indispensable part of many individuals. To survive in the scorching heat, the air conditioner has become the greatest aid. As technology advances, we can find more brands and products entering the market with advanced features from energy efficient to health care benefits. While buying an air conditioner you pour a huge amount of investment. And, in order to make the investment-worthy, keep the following checklist in mind.

Size of the room

While buying an air conditioner do not forget to check the size of your room. If you buy a smaller air conditioner, the energy consumption may increase whereas if you buy a bigger air conditioner, it may turn on and off constantly and won't be able to dehumidify properly. So, keep in mind to buy an AC with suitable cooling capacity for your room.

Noise control

Every AC comes with a noise level of operation in its specification. Unless you want to disturb the beauty sleep of you, your family and your neighbors, do not purchase an AC with a noise level above 50 dB.

Energy efficiency

Would you like to save the environment and energy whilst having a preferable temperature in your house? If yes, then go for the high stars rated AC by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE). The energy stars rated AC fairly consume less electricity and will not burden your budget in long run.

Blower size

The blower fan is located inside the AC and is responsible for the density of airflow inside your room. The bigger the blower size, the stronger the airflow of the AC; as a result, there won't be any form of suffocation. Also, the blower directs air to different directions of the room.

Installation

The performance of an AC and its durability depends upon its installation. Make sure that the AC is installed by professionals without any flaws. Any mistakes during its installation may cause severe harm to you later.

Type- window or split

Basically, AC comes in 2 different types i.e. Window AC and Split AC. Window AC is designed in a compact form in order to install it in the window. The split AC, however, comprises two parts, a compressor unit that should be installed outside the house and an indoor unit that is to be installed inside your room. Relatively, split AC has a better flow of air.

Technology compatible

AC, nowadays, come with several features. It is essential to go for the AC that caters to all the significant and essential features. Also, it is best to stick with the well-established brands that furnish all the essential features at a reasonable price.

Air swing

Air swing implies the ability of AC to direct the airflow in different parts of the room. Seek out for the AC with airflow and air swing settings as the AC is not meant to flow the air in only one place.

Easy to clean filters

With clean filters, you can save energy and the life of your AC as well. To maintain your AC at its best condition for a longer period, one needs to clean the filters regularly. So, ensure that the filters are easily accessed and can be cleaned effectively.

Warranty

First off, try to stick with the well-established brands, and second off, check the warranty period. Some products and brands offer less warranty period whilst some are longer. While buying a new unit check the manufacturer's website and ensure the warranty promised.
