Ciate Paint Pots Of Colour

Advantages: Works really well as a base, increases colour vibrancy and staying power
Disadvantages: Rediscover your inner child with Paint Pots!

...For a long time I've loved MAC's vast range of eyeshadows - any colour under the sun is pretty much guaranteed to be included in their collection and in variety of finishes to boot! My only real gripe with them is that I find that they tend to crease on my eyelids halfway through the day which is a real problem if you tend to be drawn towards the brighter colours. I was interested in purchasing a primer to help tackle this problem, and before heading into the MAC store I was all prepared to buy MAC's standard primer for eyes - Prep & Prime. But when I got chatting to one of the makeup girls she convinced me that their Paint Pots actually make a wonderful primer, as well as a cream based shadow so essentially you get two for the price of one!

Advantages: Excellent staying power
Disadvantages: Only one shade per pot

...The bourjois little round pot eyeshadow retails at £5.95 per pot. There are often special offers around and I got mine on a two for £10 with another product from the range from Boots.

Advantages: Cinematography/ Acting
Disadvantages: Sad love story

...with misery and worthlessness. They are complete opposites and silence reigns in their new surroundings of Mei-tan-fu. This is a period drama absolutely draped in beautiful cinematography. The scenery, costumes and colour are something to behold. Merchant/ Ivory style the story is visually stunning to watch. The majority of the film is shot in Guilin, Guangxi in Southern China therefore authenticity remains intact throughout. Direction centres intensively on the Fane's resulting in amazing character examination. Such an examination requires strong leads and thats exactly what we got. Edward Norton (Fight Club/ The Illusionist) and Naomi Watts (The Ring/ Mulholland Drive) are both exceptional. Norton in particular is brilliant as the always restained, whatever the situation, Walter Fane. Such an inward character I would imagine would be hard to... Read review
