Review - Dr. Alkaitis Organic Eye Cream
The delicate skin around the eye area deserves special attention and requires a specific cream that is lighter than your moisturiser but just as hydrating and effective. So which organic eye cream to try? When I heard Giselle Bundchen recently singled out Dr. Alkaitis' Organic Eye Cream (January, InStyle) as a favourite product, I figured it was time to try the line of 'living' skincare' products and see what all the buzz was about.
The 'certified organic, biodynamic and ethically wild-crafted ingredients' used in their raw state' create products that are so pure and natural, they are edible (but stick to using it on the skin). Research scientist, Dr Alkaitis believes 'if you can't eat it, don't put it on your skin'. I concur doctor. I only want the purest of ingredients on my skin and that is solely what you will find in the 'living' skincare range from Dr Alkaitis.
Dr Alkaitis' Organic Eye Cream has an aloe vera gel base which soothes, hydrates and refreshes the eye area and there is also wonderful exotic and nutritious ingredients from the unique 'herbal eye renewal complex' and 'eye rejuvenation support complex' such as wild rose buds, linden blossom, green tea, natural vitamin A, C and full spectrum E.
Review
Application: Apply a small amount underneath the eye area and on the lids remembering to gently tap the cream into the skin, rather than dragging the delicate eye area.
Feel on skin: Literally feels like organic gourmet food for the skin. It hydrates and absorbs quickly.
Scent: Fresh and botanical, like walking into the Eden Project
Skin types: All ('due to living complexity of the formulations' they will adjust 'to each individuals unique skin type' and bring the 'skin into balance'.)
Results: My mother saw visible improvements and reduction in eye 'puffiness' (technical talk) and is now refusing to use anything else. My late twenties skin felt hydrated and I liked how it worked well as a base for concealer. Sometimes eye creams can make your concealer look cakey or clumpy but this cream is the perfect base for achieving a smooth and natural make up look.
Value for money: I'm the kind of girl that doesn't part with £38.20 (to be precise) for an eye cream unless it's worth it. As I don't have time (or the ability) to research, source and concoct incredible batches of eye cream in my little London flat, I am willing to invest (that makes it sound better doesn't it?) in quality products for the eye area.
Who would like it? Those who love luxury products or extremely pure products. Women in their twenties and upwards who want to look after the delicate skin around the eyes.
Would I buy it again? I would buy this eye cream again because the ingredients are organic and 'living' and my skin looks and feels good. If this price range is an option for you, I would seriously go and get all the 9 Dr Alkaitis products pronto. If this a little too pricey for some, perhaps consider investing in the Dr Alkaitis moisturiser and eye cream.
Score: 10/10

fauxhawk
The fauxhawk (or faux-hawk) hairstyle is an approximation of a mohawk, made without shaving or buzzing the hair on the sides of the head, allowing an imitation of the look of a true mohawk without having to commit to removing most of one's hair.[1] In many cases, the look can be temporarily set aside by simply combing or restyling the hair. The name is a portmanteau of faux (the French word for false) and mohawk. The fauxhawk was popularised by football (soccer) star David Beckham, [1] who styled himself after designer Hedi Slimane. The fauxhawk is typically worn with a small but noticeable spike in the middle, though usually considerably shorter than many traditional mohawks. Because a fauxhawk does not involve shaving the head, most, if not all, of the hair will be gelled upward. It should be noted, however, that the term has its roots in the mid-80's punk scene. It was a term of derision, aimed at "outsiders" of the underground who would not commit to the social stigma conveyed by a true mowhawk. For African American men, the fauxhawk is created by cutting the hair short and lining it up while leaving the middle strip of the hair on the head.

Hairstyles
A hairstyle, hairdo, or haircut refers to a styling of head hair. The fashioning of hair can be considered an aspect of personal grooming, fashion, and cosmetics, although practical considerations also influence some hairstyles.
Length and trimming
Haircuts or hair trimming often involves creating a specific shape and form, and maintaining such sculpture. Haircuts can be used to define a hemline along the ends and edges of longer lengths. Hair cutting may include shaving the head. In some settings, hair cutting, creating forms and shapes are an expressive art form. Hair cutting often involves considerations of body proportions, hair density and hair type, face and head shape from all views (profile, 3/4 and 360 degree, from above and from below), overall bone structure, and pattern of how hair lies or falls.
Hair shapes and various lengths are often derived from concerns regarding personal expression and aesthetics (examples: dreadlocks, punk hair, the business haircut/style, very long hair), religion (for example, Pentecostal faith among others), social and cultural values. Hair is often a physical expression of one's sense of self, of a desire to present oneself to and amongst a community, of social status and roles, and of cultural values. Such expression may involve adding ornaments to the hair, or partial or full hair coverings (such as a Kippa, Hijab, or a Turban).
Although trimming may beautify hair by removing damaged or split ends, cutting does not promote faster growth. Nor does trimming remove all damage throughout the hair. Damage can occur anywhere in any length of hair. Trimming at regular intervals is only necessary for maintaining formed shapes.
There exist ways to trim hair oneself as outlined in places on the internet and hair care reading materials.
Wet hair stretches rather significantly in length. Curly hair will unfurl a fair amount when fully wet, and different areas of the hair may have a larger degree of curl or different direction of curl than others. Thus, cutting curly hair while wet may result in uneven lines or unexpected results with regard to actual length. Further, curly hair, in particular, once dry, might appear visually to have an uneven line depending on how the curl coils back up. Lorraine Massey, author of Curly Girl, specializes in the care of curly hair types, and has designed a specific method for trimming curly hair to avoid these problems. The reason stylists like working with wet hair may be related to weight. Wet hair is heavier and may be easier to manage in a cut/style situation since the hair remains in place thus holding a line and making it easier for the stylist to create a form.
