* A Glare Victory. . .

Advantages: Lasts a very very long time.
Disadvantages: Price, needs to be justified.

...I must admit until recently, I had not heard of this stuff, And would probably not have bought it, only it was given to me. Only a headcase would refuse to try anything that is free, so I gave it a go. I started with a clean car of course, then set about putting on the polish. I found it hard work to be honest, much more elbow grease is required than "ordinary" polishes. My car was crying out for polish, so "Perhaps it needs two coats" I thought, and I was right, the second coat went on a lot easier. Of course I can't compare it with other polishes now because as Glare says "It will last up to five years". I doubt it will last that long, however, it is a pleasure wathing my dirty car in the raain, because toe much just rinses off. This has to be a plus, and something other polishes just do not do. The polish is suitable...

Review of Glare Polish

Anti-perspirant that works!

Advantages: It works!
Disadvantages: Range of scents isn't great.

...I ALWAYS used to use spray on anti-perspirants, but was getting fed up white marks all over my clothes & the spray ending up all over the bathroom, so I decided to give roll-ons another go. I tried a couple of different brands before Mitchum. I found them all really sticky & horrible to use (even the Mitchum), but have found that the stickiness seems to resolve itself with continued use of roll-ons. Perhaps it?s just a case of getting used to it, either mentally or physically, but get used to it I did. I have since stuck with Mitchum. It is deemed as being one of the more effective anti-perspirants on the market, & I for one have always had great results with it. The blurb on the bottle states that Mitchum provides 48hr protection?.yes, not just one day, but TWO. I?m afraid I can?t testify as to whether or not this claim is true...

Dermalogica Anti-Bac Skin Wash

Advantages: Cleared up my skin quickly, last ages!!!
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Dermalogica anti-bac skin wash is best used on blemish prone skin. It is a foaming, antibacterial facewash which deeply cleanses the skin of excess oil and impurities with drying it. It contains Triclosan which helps remove bacteria and Salicylic Acid disolves dead skin cells- that last part makes it sound very harsh, but it is really not! It also conatins balm mint, coneflower and camphor to help smooth and purify the skin. It does not have any artificial fragrances or colour. Dermalogica say that you should work the gel into a lather and apply to your dampened face and throat. You should then rinse with warm water and repeat for 'professional results'. They then say for best results this should be followed by the multi active toner and moisturiser (please see my other reviews). I use this product every day along...

The Anti-Cellulite Rollerball

Advantages: Easy to use, Pleasant feeling to the skin, firming effect, affordable and it works
Disadvantages: None

...It is coming to that time of year when we bare some more flesh - yes, it is a month or two away but summer is pretty close here..:) I bought this product last spring/summer when I had a pretty good fitness regime and was in the gym and steam room or sauna a lot while conditioning my body. I suppose I should admit in this review that I have had some cellulite on my thighs and although I do not pay much attention to it and it does not affect my general being; It felt good that I could do something about it when I saw this product. Must've paid less than five pounds for it, it was affordable and that's one of the reasons I bought it, otherwise I don't tend to waste time with such products. I used to use the 'Garnier Skin Naturals Body Tonic Anti-Cellulite Rollerball' after a good workout or a good pampering. The product is in a small...

biotherm Anti-drying body milk

Advantages: Smooth soft skin finish
Disadvantages: High price, Questionnable ingredients inside the bottle

...i read an article in a magazine that a free bottle of Biotherm was available for free. I bought the magazine called Zest as a way to save Money to get the free sample Bottle of biotherm Anti-Drying lotion. so having spent a few hours travelling to central london to selfridges I saw two or three similar women getting the same product. ingredients include aspartic acid, glutamic acid, nicotiana, Soybean oil, parrafinium liquidium among other chemicals. having read the ingredients of the contents does not convince me to use this stuff on my body. what I did was test a little part on my finger to see the effects on my manly rough hands skin. upon opening there was a fake citrus orange or lime smell Fragrance which I feel strongly is pleasant. the milk took two minutes to partially absorb, leaving a smooth shiny...

Lynx Dry Click Sharp Focus Anti-Perspirant

Advantages: Good smell, effective
Disadvantages: Quite pricey

...Being an early-twenties, pro-active male, I therefore sweat. Not profusely, not disgraceful, but these things happen. Deodorant, for all of it's scents, does not prevent this, nor does it cover it up, but antiperspirant does. Now, human sweat itself is, apparently, mostly odourless...until bacteria gets involved. This occurs in hot, humid conditions - e.g. under the armpits. I could at this point become all scientific, but this isn't a specific review on the ins-and-outs of antiperspirants vs. deodorants, but rather a look at one of the copious number of brands from Unilever's Lynx Dry range... First of all, here's the tag line for the brand... "Lynx Click Dry Sharp Focus Anti-Perspirant keeps you sharp, dry and focused all day long. The unique Click fragrance has a fresh and clean aroma to help you create an impact wherever you go. It...

totally portable anti-shine in a compact

Advantages: neat and stylish compact to take anywhere
Disadvantages: only available in the UK through one source

...applicator . The product is a translucent oil absorbing powder which is milled repeatedly to a very fine degree which makes it light and natural on the skin without blocking the pores . The milling is performed in Italy , renowned for their high standards of production , assuring the quality of the products which Smashbox base their reputation on . There is no need to make a colour choice here .. the product blends perfectly and adapts to every skin tone , and the colourless powder settles into a totally invisible shine-absorbing " veil " on the skin The effect is long lasting , with little need to re-apply , and make-up seems glide on more smoothly and last longer after application Unlike most anti-shine products , should you need to re-apply this one , it doesn't build into a thick mask as do some I have tried in the past The effect...

Review of AVG Anti-virus

Anti Blemish yes - Anti Bank Balance too!

Advantages: Works, Removes Blemishes & Diminishes Larger Ones
Disadvantages: Costly, Does Dry Out Skin

..., conditioners) and specialised skin products (spot blemish gel, anti-ageing cream). THE PRODUCT The product is in a small green tinted bottle with the customary Clinique pale green lid - as I always say - simple but effective. The bottle is made of plastic - ideal for squeezing out the contents and to ensure no breakages! The screw top is perhaps not the most practical, a flip top would have provided easier access but I don't want to seem to fussy! The product is a fairly runny gel, not as thin as water or moisturiser, but thin enough to spread. The smell is quite chemical like, not particularly pleasant or appealing, but there again you'd hardly expect it to smell of roses! In a way it smells almost like glue! Usage instructions recommend "cleanse skin, apply thin layer to blemish, use one application dairly, if needed and no dryness occurs...

Review of Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Clear Blemish Gel

Great anti-virus protection.

Advantages: Free and with almost daily updates.
Disadvantages: None for most users.

...Available for free from http://www.grisoft.com ("AVG Free Edition" on the left hand side menu). It requires filling in a quick bit of information to get the serial number e-mailed to you to be able to install this (a bit of a nuisance for a free product, but this program is worth the minor inconvenience). The commercial version is now on version 7 (instead of version 6 for the free one). **My Experience:** I've been using AVG for about 2 years now and recommended it to quite a few friends whenever they ask about anti-virus software (or if I find out they aren't running any even!). It's stopped a couple of viruses from getting onto my computer and hasn't let one slip through yet (keep your virus definitions updated regularly though to be safe!). I used to do a full scan of my computer quite often but AVG has proved to be so reliable...
