Abstract: The invention relates to a mobile telephone comprising an automatic calling device whose memory has several specific fields, for defining the local character or international character of the communication, the possible prefix of the number of the party called by the user and the numbers of the called parties. The decision to call is made after detection of the contents of these fields. Said memory also has an extra area for a possible code conversion between the characters of the first field and the country codes of the called parties or prefixes associated to said countries.

Abstract: A lighting booth for providing varying light conditions. The lighting booth includes a stand, a mirror mounted to the stand, and first and second panels mounted to the stand adjacent the mirror, each panel defining a plurality of apertures. The lighting booth further includes a lighting system having a plurality of light sources and an adjustable power source. Each light source is coupled with at least one aperture and with the adjustable power source for selecting the intensity of the light emitted thereby such that the light emitted by an outlet end of each bundle may be adjusted so as to provide selectable variation in lighting conditions.

Abstract: A skin cream composition according to the present invention provides significant retexturization of the skin, producing significantly improved smoothness, as well as significantly minimizing age spots and improving color of the skin, together with increasing the firmness and moisture content of the skin. The composition also reduces the extent of sebum and/or oil on the skin. The composition can comprise: water, and emulsified and dispersed in the water: (1) sodium lactate; (2) a long-chain fatty acid ester of ascorbic acid; (3) a short-chain carboxylic acid ester of tocopherol; (4) witch hazel; and (5) horsetail extract. The sodium lactate, the ascorbic acid ester, the tocopherol ester, the witch hazel, and the horsetail extract are each present in a quantity sufficient to increase the smoothness and/or firmness and to diminish the oiliness of skin to which the composition is applied.
Abstract: A mascara composition comprises: water, and emulsified and dispersed in the water, a protein component, a vegetable wax component, and a vitamin component. The protein component, the vegetable wax component, and the vitamin component are each present in cosmetically effective quantities. The protein component can be protein derived from silk powder and keratin, the vegetable wax component can be rose wax and jasmine wax, and the vitamin component can be ascorbyl palmitate, tocopheryl acetate, and panthenol. The composition can further comprise an antioxidant component, a preservative component, an emulsifier component, a solvent component, a thickener component, a hydrophobic/waxy component, and at least one colorant. The mascara composition of the present invention is effective in significantly lengthening and thickening the eyelashes of the wearer and is significantly long lasting, water resistant, and safe for wearers.
