Gives my face a flawless finish

Advantages: amazing product
Disadvantages: price

...****Clinique Blended Face Powder and Brush **** I first tried this when i was given a free sample of it last year and i love it. **About brand** Clinque sell high quality make up and toiletry products. I love clinque products and don't think i have ever came across a product that i have been unhappy with . The brand is great and if i could afford to i would stock up on it lol. **Packaging** This comes in a clear round tub with a twisty lid. I have also received this quite a few times in one of clinques ?buy .... and get something free? . These ones tend to come in a round cardboard box and you get 2g worth of product. I would say this is worth getting to try the product out and at the same time treat yourself to other products !! :P. **Product** This comes in 5 different blends-one for very fair skin,2 for moderately fair and two...

Review of Clinique- Blended Face Powder and Brush

A high quality brush for those rosy cheeks.

Advantages: Blends the blusher in nicely.
Disadvantages: Very pricey!

...and cheeks. If have a more large face I would probably use a bigger brush for a more even application. In my experience this brush has been great when it comes to applying my blusher. I always apply my blusher last after I've finished the rest of my make up. Whatever brand of blusher you are using, just place one side and tip of the blusher brush onto your powder and smooth it on as you would if you were applying it, then lightly tap it to remove any excess. The shape of this brush is great as it's very easy to just glide across my cheek bones, the tapered edges help it blend in nicely as it goes along so avoids making your blusher look patchy or streaky when it's applied, which low quality brushes can do. I've used various different types of blusher with this brush and they've all worked perfectly. Sometimes I need to 'soften' the blusher as...

Review of Clinique Blush Brush

Scottish Blend, Scottish Revelries

Advantages: Flavorful tea especially blended for soft water
Disadvantages: Difficult to procure (in the States, that is), short of a trip to Scotland

..."It's no' th' tea," said my Scottish friend. "It's th' water. Ye kin take th' tea home, but ye kin no' take th' water." Hmmmm, well, I grant that most places I've visited in Scotland have wonderfully soft and pleasant-tasting water. Still and all, we also have very nice soft water in my little corner of America. We don't, however, have ready access to Scottish Blend tea. Fortunately, this particular problem is easy to solve--just fly off to Scotland often enough to keep a ready supply on hand! (Failing that, Scottish Blend can sometimes be found in the States at specialty shops stocking UK foodstuffs.) You may think I'm jesting with this flippant remark about flying off to Scotland. I'm not. Scotland and I have been involved in a torrid love affair for just over a decade now, and I cross the Pond to this bonny piece...

Review of Brooke Bond Scottish Blend

It's all in the BLEND

Advantages: Taste, quality, versatility
Disadvantages: Price, can disolve badly

...Having a Baileys & coffee last night (see Baileys op coming VERY soon) I realised I've not yet done an op on my favourite thing in the world (well, nearly) - Nescafe Gold Blend. :o) And it's unfortunate for Marks wallet that my favourite thing in the world is one of the most expensive instant coffee's on the market. And I drink a lot of coffee......... I usually put the cost of the product at the end of the op but the sheer cheek of Nescafe for charging £3.59 for a 200g jar of coffee has forced the pricing details to the top of the op! Standard Nescafe is around £2.69 for 200g and I'm probably just moody because I buy 2 jars a week (heaving the shopping bill up by £7) but it seems a huge price increase when Nescafe is known as one of the best coffee manufacturers anyway! Rant over, on with the op. :o) Gold Blend is one...

Review of Nescafe Gold Blend Coffee

Amazing brush

Advantages: Performs well and doesn't shed
Disadvantages: Price

...I'll start by telling you what maccosmetics.co.uk states about this brush, before I give my opinion. "A large full circular brush used for lightweight application and blending of face powder or pigments. Use to create soft layers or add textures. Made from a soft blend of goat and synthetic fibres." I have to say I really rate this as a make up brush. It has so many uses for me I can't imagine not owning it! Firstly, I prefer a full coverage look with foundation, however I don't like looking like I have lots of foundation on. Enter the Mac 187 brush, also referred to as a stipling brush, it blends foundation perfectly! I apply a little to my face using either the brush or my fingers, then I blend by moving the brush in circular motions on my face. The brush is amazingly soft and I find it a joy to use. If you are familiar...

Brush Up

Advantages: A great little must have for the face, stimulates circulation and smooths skin.
Disadvantages: A bit hard to keep clean.

...Review of The Body Shop Facial Brush. This little piece of equipment from The Body Shop is something that I had never seen before, and I currently use a Body Brush to exfoliate and help circulation, so I wanted to give it a go for my face too! I have combination skin that is prone to slight acne on the chin area and some dry patches on my forehead. I have purchased the newest version of the Facial Brush which is a small brush with an easy to hold bottom for hand-help use and cap to keep in clean. Price: This item was only £2.90, which I think is great it will last me a long time. Product: Ok it?s a brush, but it has so many useful parts to it. It is small for starters-and a nice clear colour with the white Body Shop logo on the top of the handle. The bristles of the brush are very soft and are placed in a circular way...

Nescafe Gold Blend - Simply the Best!

Advantages: Very Nice Taste
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I am not a big coffee drinker, I tend to prefer a cup of tea to drink but once in a while I do go through a coffee phase. Having just parted with £4.18 for a 200g jar of Nescafe Gold Blend at my local Asda I am thankful that these phases don?t usually last very long. So why you may ask did I part with so much of my hard earned cash on this particular product. Well as I say I?m not a big coffee drinker so hopefully this jar should last me quite a long time. The reason for the choice of Nescafe Gold Blend was simple I have tried most of the cheaper brands out there, and in my opinion there is no comparison. The first thing that attracted me was the jar itself. It is quite a bulky, heavy glass jar with edges that curve inwards in the middle. The label on the front also has these same curved edges and is cut to suit the shape...

Bourjois Bronzer Brush

Advantages: Really soft on skin
Disadvantages: Sometimes looses bristles

...I got the Bourjois bronzer brush when I first bought the bronzer, which was about a year ago. They both came out at around the same time and it looked really nice and they made a nice set together so I bought them both. To be honest I can't remember how much it was, it says on here £10 but I remember it being more in the region of £7-8, but maybe it has gone up in price since then. How it looks It came in a clear plastic cover to protect it which was really plain but I loved the look of the brush straight away, It has a bronzy coloured base with Bourjois Paris written on in gold lettering, with some of the usual French calligraphy beneath this. The bristles of the brush match as they are a chocolate colour with a few more golden bristles between them. Overall the brush just looks really cute! Using the brush...

Review of Bourjois Powder Brush

Tooth saving brushes!!

Advantages: Especially good for those with large gaps between their posterior teeth
Disadvantages: Not very useful if the gaps between you teeth are very narrow.

...As a student studying to be a dentist, I can not sufficiently stress how important it is to clean interdentally! I think my family and fiancé can vouch for that because more often than not, you'll find me telling them off for poor hygiene habits. Tut tut! -- Why do I need to clean interdentally? -- The problem with ordinary brushing is that there is no way the bristles of the toothbrush can get access interdentally, (i.e. in between your teeth), even if you try to force them to! During the day, the level of plaque in our mouth will increase and so will the number of bacteria. This bacteria can then not only cause tooth decay but it can also lead to Gingivitis (inflammation on the gums), which, if not treated can lead to Periodontitis (inflammation of the bone that surrounds teeth), which will cause tooth loss! Oh No! Ordinary tooth...

My review of Nescafe Gold Blend Coffee

Advantages: Cheap
Disadvantages: Taste compared to other brands

...During a recent shopping trip I reached for my staple coffee brand of Douwe Egberts, only to notice that Nescafe Gold Blend happened to be on sale, so in the basket it went. The first thing I need to point out was that it was great value for money. It was approximately half the price of the Douwe Egberts, but then it won't always be on sale. In my opinion the taste wasn't too bad, but clearly was not up to the standards of my usual cuppa. I found it was relatively weak tasting, and was not as smooth.I thought it was quite bland, it had little depth and flavour. Overall I found the Nescafe Gold Blend O.K, but it ceretainly will not replace the Douwe Egberts in my house....
