Rolls-Royce Wraith Inspired by Film Limited Edition

April 2, 2015 by Editorial Team

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Wraith launch film, ‘And the World Stood Still’, has been accepted into the BFI (British Film Institute) National Archive, the world’s most significant collection of film and TV. The film won a Gold Award at the 26th International Visual Communications Association (IVCA) Awards. To celebrate the event, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has created Wraith ‘Inspired by Film’, which debuted at the 2015 New York Auto Show.

Wraith ‘Inspired by Film’ celebrates Rolls-Royce’s long heritage in film and its entry into the BFI National Archive. Rolls-Royce motor cars have taken leading roles in movies since the dawn of film-making, and have featured in such hits as Goldfinger (1964), The Yellow Rolls-Royce (1964), The Thomas Crowne Affair (1968) and The Great Gatsby (1974) to name a few.

Continuing the theme of “And the World Stood Still”, this Wraith is hinting gently at the (film) noir through a number of unique Bespoke touches like a Jubilee Silver paint scheme, or a solid-silver hand-cast Spirit of Ecstasy. The Anthracite leather interior accented with Casden Tan exudes confidence and power like a modern super-hero’s costume, whilst its steely character is suggested by a pin sharp aluminium band shooting through the Maccassar Ebony open pore panelling.

Wraith is the most powerful Rolls-Royce ever made. Performance complements the drama of exterior styling as a shorter wheelbase, wider rear track and 624 bhp/465 kW derived from the twin turbo V12 and a 0-60mph of 4.4 seconds (0-100kph, 4.6 seconds) give expression to the car’s dynamic looks. The swept lines of the fastback body of Wraith, a style whose origins can be found in the 1930s era of film noir, most clearly signal its purposeful character.

Turn back the clock on skin aging

April 1, 2015 by Editorial Team

A skincare product that keeps my skin looking as young as I feel:Time reverse skin care with the revolutionary Babor ReVersive anti-aging system.

A new complete anti-aging system by luxury cosmetic company Babor promises to turn back the clock on skin aging. Babor’s innovative anti-aging Collection ReVersive restores youthful radiance and luminosity, leaving the complexion looking firmer and smoother. Let’s see how the new Babor treatment is doing all this magic.

ReVersive is unique, as it contains a high-performance formula with four active ingredients interacting in synergy: Telovitin, Agicyl, Lumicol and Epocyl.

Telovitin: Keeps cells younger for longer
Telovitin, an active ingredient based on Nobel Prize-winning research, combats skin aging at its source: cell activity. It protects the telomeres (the ends of the chromosomes) and thus extends the life cycle of the skin cells.

Agicyl: Activates defenses against skin aging
This multifunctional active ingredient, which is extracted from the stem cells of the Alpine plant Globularia cordifolia, prevents the break down of the collagen fibers so that the skin retains its elasticity. It also neutralizes free radicals and environmental aggressors.

Lumicol: Creates luminosity and radiance
The active radiance-boosting ingredient Lumicol, which is extracted from microalgae, can activate a protein that destroys these dark pigmentation and age spots to ensure an even- looking complexion and restore radiance.

Epocyl: for an instantly visible smoothing effect
This active marine ingredient, which is obtained from plankton, forms a film on the surface of the skin and, within minutes, visibly fills in any wrinkles and unevenness.

In a recent study conducted by the independent research organization, Derma Consult, the ReVersive collection showed impressive results. Testing was conducted on 100 women, aged 35 to 67, and in just 4 weeks time users reported the following exciting results: 99% more youthful appearance, 87% enhanced radiance, and 90% firmer skin.

The ReVersive collection includes ReVersive anti-aging dual serum with innovative booster technology, an anti-aging cream, the slightly richer, soft-textured ReVersive anti-aging cream rich, and an anti-aging eye cream with extracts of rhodiola rosea, sugar beet and yeast to stimulate lymph flow, thus reducing dark circles under the eyes.

The set contains four bottles, each designed for seven days’ use. For best results, it should be applied over a four-week period, in harmony with the skin’s natural renewal cycle.
