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 Smashbox Anti-Shine

Get rid of that oily shine with this one!

Advantages: Skin is mattified and doesn't feel as cloggy or oily.
Disadvantages: Expensive, but it's a high quality product that does last a while even with daily use.

...I'm a huge fan of Clinique products. I always find their products to be of a high quality and they always work. They may be pricey compared to cheaper brands, but they are worth the price tag. For example I am a fan of their Anti-Blemish clarifying lotion, I recently attempted to find a cheaper alternative and when I ran out I tried other similar products. This was a bad idea, my blemishes and spots became much worse and I quickly switched back to using it, and now my skin is visibly clearer and much better again. About Clinique Clinique are an offshoot from the Estee Lauder company and were founded in 1968. Clinique claim to cater for individual's needs and realises that everyone has a different skin type. They are most famous for their 3-step skin care regimes, which consists of 3 products and often comes with the line '3...

Review of Clinique Anti-Blemish Pore Minimizer, T-Zone Shine Control

Bye Bye Shine!

Advantages: Makes skin look smoother and less shiny
Disadvantages: Price

...What is it? I saw this in a magazine and since I suffer from extremely shiny skin; I thought this would be the product for me. According to the Boots website; 'L'Oréal Paris Studio Secrets Anti-Shine Mattifying Primer offers a comfortable, mattifying result with an anti-shine finish. Easy to apply and comfortable: the finish is beautifully matte, smooth and velvety, as if by magic!' It really is magic! This is meant as a base for make-up, it provides a smooth, non-shiny finish and allows make-up to last longer. It usually costs £9.99, but is on special offer in Boots for £7.99 currently (Aug '09). This is part of the new Studio Secrets range from L'Oreal which is the first professional make-up range from L'Oreal. What does it look like? The bottle is about 5/6 inches long, it is clear so you can see...

Review of Smash Box Anti-Shine

shine on you crazy diamond....

Advantages: nice fresh smell, shine!
Disadvantages: didnt do much to combat fluff and frizz

...Yea sorry for the title, Im just not too imaginative of late and was listening to pink floyd and like a lightbulb in my head it caaaame to meeeeee.. Citre Shine serum's is owned by the company Shwarzkopf is a professional haircare company originating in berlin from 1898, Hans Shwarzkopf was a barber who opened a small perfume section in his salon and thats were it all started. The brand is best known for its edgy hair styles, high hold styling products and colour. Owing to the company's reputation and the fact I wasn't going to pay a ridiculous amount of money for something i'd use once in a while I chose to buy the anti-frizz colour prism serum. The serum is packed up in a cumbersome plastic box.. takes a few fiddly minutes to open.. and inside is the bottle, clear 50ml's with an orange/ clear top. The top is similar to those...

Review of Schwarzkopf Citré Shine Anti-Frizz Colour Prism Serum

Shine On

Advantages: Stephen King's claim to fame ; Superb atmosphere ; Sublime plot ; A vivid imagination that stretches all supernatural boundaries ; Probably responsible for some of the best horror films of the 70's and 80's
Disadvantages: Some unessesary background in the first half ; Kubrik mucked up the story too much ; Could have been much more

...Being thoroughly refreshed and cheerful following my Misery conquest, an adrenaline rush urged me to stick my nose into yet another King classic, The Shining. Of course, generally when you've seen a certain Jack Nicholson film more times than you care to remember, you start to wonder, why bother? But then you hear how Stanley Kubrick practically threw Stephen King's novel into the fire after a quick skim read and went about making his own super version, makes you pretty inclined to read the novel that made King the bestseller he is today. Initially I was apprehensive about starting the book as I'd heard some negativity surrounding the content of the first few hundred pages. I honestly wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. For a 500 page novel I shot through it in less than a week and enjoyed it immensely, even more so than...

Review of The Shining - Stephen King

The Shining review

Advantages: Scary, tense, engaging
Disadvantages: None

...The Shining is a 1980 horror film directed by Stanley Kubrick which is based a Stephen King novel of the same name. It stars Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall and Danny Lloyd. Jack Torrence (Nicholson) is a writer who accepts the job as a caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, which always gets snowed in during the winter, and so becomes completely isolated. He is warned that the last caretaker got cabin fever and killed his family and himself, but Jack just wants some peace and quiet in order to write. So he takes his wife Wendy (Duvall) and his son Danny (Lloyd) up to the hotel on the closing day, where they meet the elderly cook, Dick Halloran (Scatman Crothers). He surprises Danny by talking with him telepathically and asking him if he wants an ice cream. When alone, he explains that he and his grandmother shared this incredible gift...

Her Time To Shine

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: A few weka tunes

...In 2008 came the second album from the London-based singer and rapper Estelle (Swaray). By the time she had released ?Shine?, her sophomore album, she had broken into the mainstream as she had moved on her music by re-locating to the USA and linked up with some big players in the R&B and Hip Hop game to help her out along the way. 1. ?Wait? Getting the album underway comes what came as the first single from the album and a pretty hit in itself as you see tha there she prepared to do big things by dropping this heavy jam as she links up with will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas and with him on the production, you see that here he decides to come out with a fly jam where he mixes the two things that she is best known for and gets it off to a great start. **Four Stars** 2. ?No Substitute Love? I saw this as a killer tune from the singer...

Review of Shine - Estelle

A shining example of a stonking good film

Advantages: The cinematography, the storyline, the acting, the direction...
Disadvantages: Not a single one in my opinion

...of her son. Will any of them get out alive? I would imagine/hope that there are few people who haven't heard of The Shining. Based on the novel by Stephen King and directed by Stanley Kubrick, it was made back in 1980, and yet for me and many others, remains a film that has stood the test of time. It is my all-time favourite film and has been for some time - it is one of the few films that I can watch over and over again, and yet I never get bored of, despite knowing precisely how it is going to end. For me, it has everything that I want in a film - great acting and visuals, a creepy atmosphere with a bit of supernatural thrown in, a bit of gore, beautiful visuals and wonderfully appropriate music. I should note here that I have never read the book, so cannot comment on how well it translated onto the screen, although I have read...

BORN TO SHINE!

Advantages: The look and feel of quality.
Disadvantages: 2 mega pixel camera.

...◄ Born to Shine From the Black Series. ► ■ The LG Shine KE970 ■ With it's stylish mirrored casing to front, and it's brushed steel finish to the back, it has to be be the most aesthetically pleasing of mobile phones on the market to date. Measuring 99.8 x 50.6 x 13.8 mm, and weighing in at 119 g. The LG Shine is a solid and beautiful piece of equipment. When I went to choose a new mobile phone I scoured many mobile shops in search of a slim, neat, attractive design to replace my Motorola Razor which I had stupidly put through the washing machine in my jeans pocket when in a rush to get my washing done after our holiday. I had always chosen...
