Astounding Astor

Advantages: No clumping, lovely lashes
Disadvantages: I can't find any online

...Considering my tube of Margaret Astor mascara was free with a magazine, it is one of the best items of make up I have ever used. I might not still have the magazine, let alone remember which one it was, but 7 months later I am still faithfully using my Margaret Astor Magic Style mascara. I have very sensitive eyes - anything remotely perfumed is out, and Maybelline Great Lash is a big no-no. Margaret Astor however is just right. Packaging In a nice, sleek silver tube, this is a simple yet attractive tube of mascara. It doesn't look cheap but nor is it snobbish. The top/wand has a clear plastic rounded end with a cute little flower on it. This logo adorns all of the Margaret Astor range. At approximately 4 inches long, the tube fits in any small makeup bag or you can pop it in your handbag to use after work or on a night out...

16 Blocks

Advantages: Mos Def's character Eddy
Disadvantages: Mod Def's character's voice

...So I was bored the other day, I don't know if anyone on Ciao is from Belfast but does anyone actually like Victoria Square? I was getting a lift home from uni for Easter and my mum felt compelled to go and have a look. I wondered around bored for awhile then decided to gothinking about going to get something to eatand then walked past noticing HMV had a sale on. With only £5 to my name I didn't think I should go in, but I couldn't help it. 16 Blocks caught my eye and thus I starved in its name. The Story The film starts at a crime scene, some latin gangsters have been murdered and the police officer in charge wants to get an "unimportant" officer to cover the crime scene, an aged out of shape Bruce Willis walks in with a newspaper and plants himself on a seat and takes out a hip flask of whiskey. He plays a charcter called Jack...

Review of 16 Blocks (DVD)

Sweet 16

Advantages: Better than your average thriller
Disadvantages: Not a great ending

...I caught the trailer for "16 Blocks" a while ago, when I was at the cinema to see "Inside Man". It looked like a pretty good film, but "Inside Man" was so good that I was sure I'd made the right choice. In addition, "16 Blocks" starred Mos Def, a man who I thought made a dreadful Ford Prefect in "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and I was in no real rush to watch it. So I promptly forgot about it until recently, when I had the chance to see it. Jack Mosley is a New York cop who, at the end of a long shift, is asked to transport a witness, Eddie Bunker, sixteen blocks through New York from a holding cell to the courthouse in time to testify in an important case. The traffic is grid locked, making the journey tougher and they have just under two hours to get there, otherwise Eddie's testimony cannot be used. Both men have other things...

Review of 16 Blocks

Bleach 16

Advantages: Bleach is a great manga with awesome art
Disadvantages: I always feel a bit cheated on the price!

...This is the 16th volume of the hit manga Bleach. Bleach is one of the top sellers in the manga world and is still going strong today. For a full review of bleach read my previous review on volume 14. This review however is purely on volume 16. Up to now this is my favourite volume. It is awesome. Bleach centers around huge battles with larger than life characters. In this volume fans get what they wished for. This volume is the start of the war that is about to take place in the world of Bleach. Comrades square off against each other and some of the most powerful figures in Bleach are going to go 1 on 1 against each other. The main character is still training hard before he enters the battle. Whilst he trains his friends and new allies must fight. The story at this time is the "rescue Rukia" arc. This means The main character Ichigo...

Review of Bleach: v. 16 - Tite Kubo

Ipod Classic 16gb

Advantages: Sleek, Stylish, Great use of technology, Good sound
Disadvantages: Costly, Little hard drive space, dodgy touch screen

...drive space which is virtually non existent. Personally, I have a lot of music and videos that I would like to store on my Ipod but the small 16gb hard drive just cant handle the amount of music and video I want to put on it, unlike the ipod classic which can hold up to 160gb, 10 times as much as the touch. But if you want a flashy gadget that does have high level of technology and has a fairly long battery life, and are willing to compromise on hard drive space then this is the by far the MP3 player for you, however, if space is essential for you, then the Ipod classic is the ideal MP3 player that is also easy to use....

Review of Apple iPod touch 16 GB

Ipod Touch (16GB)

Advantages: touch screen, quality sound/video play
Disadvantages: have to pay for extra icons

...The Ipod touch is without a doubt the best Mp3/Mp4 player that is on the market currently in my opinion as it has so many good qualities. These qualities include the beautiful touch screen which enables quick navigation, up to 2500 songs / 20 films and thousands of pictures, internet access, hundreds of games to choose from (some already installed on the ipod) and lots of icons to choose from (stock market checks, calendar etc) which just basically makes the whole experience of having an ipod touch that little bit better. The ipod touch (16GB) version is in my opinion the best value for money at roughly £220 as it holds a lot of data yet still doesn't break the bank. If you are thinking of buying a loved one a present I would recommend the ipod touch as it can be personalised and customised to that persons needs, apple store...

Ford Focus 1.6 Zetec

Advantages: A great car from all angles
Disadvantages: Not as many extras included as I would have liked

...I am now the proud owner of a ford focus 1.6 zetec and for the first time in many years I have actually found a car that pretty muc suits all my needs. I have spent many a time in cars that are too big, too small, not suitable, not comfortable etc but this is everything I could ask for. I own the three door version but the doors open widely and when the front seat is moved forward there is plenty of room to get anyone in the back, even my mother in law who is disabled. The back of this car is extremely spacious, comfortably fitting 3 large adults in. The boot size is deceiving in that it looks pretty small but is very spacious indeed. Perfect for all those shopping bags as well as a childs pushchair. The actual drive of this car is superb. Mine runs on unleaded and is very economical. I can get over 200 miles to £35...

Review of Ford Focus 1.6

iPod 16gb

Advantages: easy to use, touch screen
Disadvantages: no case

...When the Ipod touch was first advertised I thought it looked amazing and I still do. The touch screen is the next generation of technology and is the beginning of a touch generation. There are many advantages to this product and the first is of course the touch screen. It allows you to access everything very easily and you can get the hang of it very easily. After about 5 minutes of just messing about you will have found most of the features and be able to use them with ease. There are hardly any disadvantages but one that i found was that 16gb is not enough if you have a few tv shows you would like to put on. It would also be better if apple could include a case of some sort. But, i recommend this to anyone looking to invest in an iPod/MP4/MP3 player....
