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

Siana Anti Wrinkle Night Cream

Advantages: Very light and refreshing with subtle fragrance
Disadvantages: None that I have experienced

...I am 24 years old and although some people may think this is a young age to begin using Anti Wrinkle Creams, you would be wrong. Many beauticians have advised me that the ideal age to begin using these products is around 21 years old. I have tried many face creams in the past, anti wrinkle and general moisturisers. But I have to say that I have fallen in love with Siana Anti Wrinkle Night Cream. I apply the cream at night after fully cleansing my face and I find it a very satisfying product. The cream is very light with a subtle refresshing fragrance. And although I have found several night creams to leave my skin feeling greasy in the morning, this is not the case with Siana Night Cream. I wake to find that my skin looks very refreshed and feels silky smooth with no geasy residue. You can buy 50ml of this cream for under £2 which...

Review of Siana Anti Wrinkle Night Cream

Eight Hour Miracle Cream!

Advantages: Heals and Soothes skin.
Disadvantages: Price, can take a while to absorb.

...can describe it smelling close to is Vaseline! However as the instructions stated I applied to my fingers and smoothed it over my face. It might be worth noting here that when using Eight hour cream less is definitely more! The cream is extremely thick and can take a while to absorb. I find it is best used in very sparing amounts and rubbed in all over, otherwise your face is left feeling sticky! A few hours after application my face felt really smooth and the dry patches that my previous moisturiser had been unable to shift had now gone. I decided to apply again before bed and woke up to find my skin it perfect condition and not at all dry! Since buying Eight hour cream I use it for just about everything. Due to its soothing properties it is recommended for use on dry or cracked lips and works fantastically as the cream has a shine...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

Refreshing, cooling, shine reducing wonder cream!

Advantages: Lovely smell, smoothes, refreshes, good value
Disadvantages: None

...the sebaceous gland. The cream does not block pores and is non greasy. It contains clay and zinc. White Clay helps with oil absorbtion, zinc helps with regulating action and an anti bacterial agent helps with purifying your skin. The cream also smells strongly of cucumber, which is actually really fresh and cool on your skin. qThe cream goes on so smoothly. The tube has a screw cap, and a small hole in the tip. You squeeze the bottle and the cream comes out nice and slowly. It is an aqau colour, very similar to the colour of the tube! The cream rubs in very well, and definitely is not greasy. It sinks into my skin very quickly, and I always feel cool and refreshed when I use this cream. My skin always feels silky smooth afterwards, I really love the feeling I get from using this cream! Garnier recommends that you use the cream morning...

Review of Garnier Skin Naturals Pure Shine Control Moisturiser

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...

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.

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).

Review of The Shining (DVD)

Can this cream really freeze time

Advantages: It does work
Disadvantages: Hard to apply foundation on top

...I have seen this product on the Shopping Channels, QVC I think it was and it looked amazing. The presenter put a little on to someone who had lines around the mouth and eyes and fanned it with a piece of paper and hey presto the line plumped up and disappeared before your very eyes. The claim was pretty much that the cream erases up to 99% of facial lines on application and it lasts for twenty-four hours Due to the price of around £65.00 I managed to stop myself from lifting the phone immediately. I'm a real sucker for a nice piece of advertising speil and I've spent so much money on things like this which just don't seem to work for me that I said enough is enough. Around Christmas last year the Daily Mail ran a piece on this miracle cream and allowed readers to collect tokens and pay I think is was around £7\8 for a small...

Review of Freeze 24-7 Anti-Wrinkle Cream

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...
