Bags big enough to take your shopping home in

Advantages: It makes your darkness a shade lighter
Disadvantages: Very expensive and does not hide bags

...I have unfortunately inherited a few nasty genes from my mother, the majority of which I won’t share on this site, luckily for anyone reading this opinion. The inheritance I will be writing about today is huge, dark bags below my eyes. I may ‘only’ be 36, but I have had baggy, dark eye sacks since I was in my early 20s. I have tried a number of creams supposed to reduce either or both conditions, but nothing has ever worked. Then I read an opinion by Miss-D on Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat and I hoped my prayers had been answered. The product does not claim to reduce eye bags or dark colours, but instead hides the darkness by covering it up with a light reflecting liquid. Apparently this wonder product, recommended by many celebrities and beauty magazines, is only available at Harrods and Debenhams...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)

The big big big bag!

Advantages: It's big big big!
Disadvantages: It's big big big, all over again

...Review inspired by the lovely Hunni786 who kindly agreed to let me nab the format! Deny all knowledge and disassociate yourself immediately Hunni786! Go see her if you haven't already :-) **MY BAG** Well it's actually a communal shared bag with Baby Ollie - 8 months, he can not quite carry his own yet lol so all our stuff goes into one. Gone are the days of a cute little shoulder bag?in it's place a huge chunky bag with loads of "handy" pockets. Ok - so let's start rummaging through... **Purse** The essential, pennies, loyalty cards and all?.. **Mobile Phone** Although switched off most of the time much to my partners annoyance, nothing worse than getting harassed when your out to lunch with the girls or having a good shop!!! **200 million nappies** Just kidding but there are a fair few in there, there...

Review of What's in my bag?

Bag and baggage

Advantages: I don't have one
Disadvantages: I don't have one

...While awaiting inspiration for a new review, I remembered that this one was overdue for an update. Although I rewrote it a year or so ago for Dooyoo, to include selected items from handbag reviews posted over there, I never got round to revising the Ciao version. So here it is. All the articles mentioned appeared in reviews by women on one site or the other. * What have I in my handbag? I mustn't tell you lies; In truth the only bags I own Are those beneath my eyes. You don't need special insight, No expertise in rockets, To guess that, being just a man, I keep stuff in my pockets. But if I now said: "Nothing! So there, and that?s your lot!" You might not feel satisfied And rate this Helpful ? Not. * In any case, the subject Has made me realise how Much women carry in their bags...

Bags of jiffy bag envelopes

Advantages: padds some fragile goods
Disadvantages: not suitable for glass

...I received a DVD in a jiffy bag recently opened the bag carefully and put the bag ready to reuse with about 20 other old jiffy bags I have ready for recycling. Actually I am not sure that all of them are genuine jiffy bags but they are the same sort of thing. Jiffy bags made by Jiffy have been available for several years now I think they go back to the 1950?s. Jiffy bags are handy padded envelope bags that can be bought in a variety of sizes some as small as to 164 x 285mm, then several sizes upwards to 247 x 387mm, probably even larger ones available. The original bag is a golden brown heavy duty paper. The padded filling can be as simple as shredded paper. The envelope closures are one you peel to reveal a sticky surface this will then stick to seal the bag and contents. Some jiffy bags are filled with a macerated...

Review of Jiffy Padded Bag Envelopes

My big black bag

Advantages: Might find some money!
Disadvantages: It's like a black hole - you never know what you may find.

...I love my handbags but for everyday use I tend to stick to my black leather bag I found in the sales at House of Fraser. A half price bargain! Lets stick my hand in and see what I can pull out! A tube of Hemp Hand Protector from the Body shop. This is brilliant stuff, pretty expensive but works a treat on dry hands. There's not much left now, so i've rolled the tube down to get the last bits out! I keep it in my hand bag because my hands are always dry and the cold weather isn't helping either. Passbook. I've got my Halifax passbook and my Nationwide. There's about 3pounds in my halifax one but I use my Nationwide ISA to save money each month. Hopefully by next year I'll have a nice amount to put down for a deposit on a car. Not sure why I carry them around with me but i'm always leaving my purse at home so they sometimes come in...

Vaccum Storage Bags

Advantages: Space Saving Ideas for Home and Abroad
Disadvantages: None I can think of

...I love this idea, whoever thought this up is a genius. A lot of families have storage problems my main pain in the backside is lack of room for excess bedding that i keep spare for guests and what not, So this is magnificent, how the air can be sucked out of the bag with any pipe vacuum cleaner and reduce the size of package to less than a quarter of the size. Brilliant for duvets and pillows i might add and to top it all off it keeps all those bugs away and when you do unpack them they smell as good as the day you washed them and put the items in there. Excellent I would rate these to anybody you can even use them for going abroad and storing your much loved items and reducing space which we all know must happen when traveling on a plane think of the goodies you can bring back !! Although I have never tries them in my suitcase while...

I've Got My Big Bag Today - Uh-Oh

Advantages: it's full of stuff
Disadvantages: it's all rubbish!

...The bag I'm using at the moment is a cavernous beach bag type affair which gives me tons of room to put in loads of useful (or useless) crap! Now, what lives in a bag like this??? Why don't we take a closer look . . . Passport - I take it everywhere in case I get id'd if I decide to go out on impulse. I don;t think i could use it to go abroad anymore cos its been dyed by various bags. Mirror compact - in the shape of a handbag. It's so cute. Make-up - eyeshadow, mascara, eyeliner, concealer and lipstick. Just for touch-ups. Gloves - I get cold hands! A disposable camera -used. One of those wow ones. Its been waiting to get developed since last week. Just need to find a Klick to put it into. Packet of Refreshers - saw them in a shop at lunchtime today, had to buy them!!! they'll soon be gone though. :-( Sunbed...

Review of What's in my bag?

Grobag baby sleeping bags are fantastic!

Advantages: easy to use, helpful, fantastic ranges
Disadvantages: may look a little like a dress on boys!

...The grobag is a fantastic invention which stops the constant getting up and down in the night to put the blankets back over your baby when they manage to kick them off in the night. Grobags are baby sleeping bags which fasten at the shoulders and are worn almost like a dress/dungarees. They come in different thickness- Tog rating- like a quilt. So you are able to decide which tog rating is needed, for example, in the summer when it's warm you will only need a 1tog or if it's colder you may need a 3tog. They come in different patterns and designs so you may chose whether you want a girlie pink one or a boy blue one etc. The main purpose of these grobags is to stop the baby from getting cold during the night as they may do with a blanket. Babies do not sleep soundly constantly, they do toss and turn and are able to shift themselves...

Review of Storm Shoulder Messenger Bag

Bench Bag Lady!

Advantages: Find out what secrets I have in my bag!
Disadvantages: You might not care what is in my bag!

...I have seen so many people write a review for this, so now its my turn. ***MY BAG** My bag in a green/khaki coloured canvas bag made my bench and has a front pocket along the whole of the front and has bench in yellow bold writing on the front pocket. It also has 2 handles so you can carry it over the shoulder or just hole it in your hands. I got this from ebay for a bargain price of £6.00! ***THE FRONT POCKET*** I have the following in the front pocket: * Silver bracelet wrapped in some white tissue paper which I bought from Essential today whilst on my lunch, it cost £3.99 and is different to what I'd normally wear but its cute! * 17 Eye Liner Pencil in White, this helps to make my eyes stand out, and I only normally wear this when I go clubbing. * 17 Perfect definition Eye Liner pencil in black, this is incase I smudge my...
