Christian Lacroix ~ Rouge ~ Eau De Parfum
My local Avon representative gave me a sample of Christian Lacroix Rouge perfume to sample in September last year. I fell in love with the scent of the perfume almost instantly and decided to purchase a bottle of it; I love the scent that much that I have already polished off three bottles of it and have a fourth one on the way.

Advantages: Cinema as it is meant to be - loud, colourful and moving Disadvantages: Can be too flashy for its own good
Ten word review: Man loves woman he’s not supposed to, all ends badly.
Sound familiar? Yes, welcome to my review of Romeo + Juliet: Special Edition, er, I mean Moulin Rouge, the new movie from Baz Luhrmann.
Comparisons to the aforementioned Shakespearean extravaganza are inevitable (the film even features a rhyming couplet or two), but this is very much a new kind of moviemaking. Taking his cue from musicals of the past and music of the present, Mr Luhrmann has created an intense mix of surreal visuals, heart breaking songs and surprising performances to make this one of the most unforgettable experiences I’ve seen at the cinema in a long time.
The basic plot runs quite simply. Christian, played by Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting, A Life Less Ordinary), escapes his strict father in England to write poetry in Paris ...
