Getting Your Kid Into Digital Cameras

Advantages: Features Like Any Regular Digital Camera
Disadvantages: 16 MB Internal Memory and No Zoom Capabilities

...No digital camera review on CIAO would be complete without a few entries about cameras designed for kids. After all, kids are almost universally enthusiastic about taking pictures. And parents with a love of photography often pass down their passion to their children. But digital cameras are not always kid-friendly, due to fragile construction, price, or complicated menus and buttons. The newest trend in children's electronics is a group of digital cameras made especially for small children. These cameras are easy to hold, come in bright colors that kids love, and have many of the same features as grown-up digital cameras. Kids love them. The VTech KidiZoom Digital Camera is one of the top digital cameras for kids. This camera was made with fun in mind. Kids like the KidiZoom's large LCD screen and the onboard photo editing options...

Review of VTech Kidizoom Camera Pink

My family history..... in a flash!

Advantages: Single use and cheap.
Disadvantages: Still lose the damn thing occasionally!

..., (apologies to the technical minded of you reading this review, I have no knowledge of the proper words for the buttons!), there is the camera lens, the flash in the left hand corner and a flash button half way down the left side, with "FLASH" written underneath it, told you it was simple! On the top is the ready light, with shows when the flash is enabled with the statement that this is a "single use camera" written next to it. Next to that is the quantity window, the camera starts at 24 exposures and as the pictures are taken, counts down towards zero. As I mentioned earlier there are 24 exposures but anyone familiar with these cameras will be aware that you can squeeze a couple of extra pictures from the camera with the only down side being that the last picture taken is usually double exposed with the picture taken previously, which makes...

Review of Polaroid Flash One Time Use Camera

Beauty in a flash...

Advantages: Instantly works on improving skin appearance
Disadvantages: Quite costly

...Wanting to further improve my skin, friends recommended me this flash balm so a friend offered me a sample of the product to try. I was eager to try it out! Clarins is a well-known and highly respected brand in the make up industry. Their ranges of products are all of an extremely high quality and value. Although their prices are on the high end of the scale, their products are well worth the money. So what is this Flash Balm? Clarins states that this Beauty Flash Balm will -Promote immediate and long-lasting radiance. - Firms and helps minimise fine lines and wrinkles. - Smoothes and softens skin. - Strengthens and refines the contours of the face; skin regains firmness and suppleness. - Make-up looks exceptionally radiant. My first thoughts on Flash Balm, is the name, which came across as a product that works quickly...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Beauty Flash Bum!

Advantages: None that I can think of
Disadvantages: Expensive and over-rated

...I was given a tube of this 'wonder cream' as a Christmas present from my in-laws just last Christmas. It sat inside my dressing table drawer until about three weeks ago, still in its original box/packaging etc, unused. I don't know why it's taken me so long to open the box and read the 'instructions leaflet' and actually use the stuff - maybe I was having a 'premonition' about it?? I have to say, Clairins Beauty Flash Balm, or, as it states in the French (also on the packaging/tube) "Baume Beaute Eclair" has been probably THE most disappointing beauty product I have used, EVER!! I've used a lot during my years, but this stuff does not live up to the hype, so don't waste your money. The tube I was given is a 50ml (1.7floz) size and I believe it costs somewhere in the region of £17.00 to £19.00 in major department stores. I...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

From monster to model in a flash?

Advantages: Immediate radiance of skin, great with foundation
Disadvantages: Cost

...of my best friends has very fair skin, being a red-head and she also has problems with sensitivity - so when she explained how Clarins used high quality ingredients with a more than above average percentage of natural plant extracts and that she'd never had any bad experiences with them - I decided to give the brand a go. The Beauty Flash Balm was not the first product that I tried, but having had success with various Clarins cleansers, toners and moisturisers without any bad reactions from my skin, I was looking for something which would brighten up my skin after one too many late nights or lack of sleep. Of course there is no substitute for 8 hours sleep, but sometimes we do need a little help to make up for our excesses! This seemed a good option to try. The Product and its claims: The main statement made by Clarins is that...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Better skin in a Flash

Advantages: Helps reduce fine lines and blotchyness - protects your skin from makeup clogging pores
Disadvantages: Very expensive product for 30mls £24 approx.

...I have read various magazine articles on Clairns Beauty Flash Balm and they all were extolling the virtues of this amazing invention. To be truthful l didnt really know what they were going on about and why this lotion was so amazing! I was feeling flush one day and l thought ld purchase it. Now this product is expensive theres no 2 ways about it - 30mls was approx.£24 - not cheap. The packaging is the usual red and white Clairns trade mark tubing. Plain and simple yet effective. Your money is not going toward flash packaging! I bought my tube on the internet at the island-trading.com web site - but rest assured it is available from all good Clairns counters and stockists. So what exactly does this miracle worker do? It helps revitalise sluggish pasty skin, and it helps in the removal or discolouration and fine lines...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Disposable camera for disposable pictures

Advantages: 2 for 1, easy to use
Disadvantages: not the best quality photos

...as the flash is just a slide and after that it's the usual point-click-wind on. For anyone looking for a cheap option for a 21st / 18th or 40th birthday these are ideal and I've even seen them on tables at weddings before which I though was an excellent idea. Other reviews here price them at £8.99 but a shop near me sells them for £5.99 and on occasion 2 for 1 (is there a use by date on cameras?). For £3 a go (less than 2 drinks) this is a real bargain and I would reccommend them to any of the drunken hamfisted brigade. P.S. I have heard that these cameras can also come in a 'black and white' option which take very effective photos, I've never bought one but have seen the results and the photos look excellent. P.P.S. Also a tip, don't wind the film on till your ready to take the photo, that way it doesn't go off in your pocket...

Review of Kodak Funsaver Disposable Camera with flash

clarins beauty flash balm

Advantages: the way it gives your skin a de-stressed fresh look
Disadvantages: none

...clarins beauty flash balm This product maybe a little more expensive than a range like johnsons and johnsons but it is well worth the money.

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Advantages: Luxury, Feels lovely
Disadvantages: Can irritate some skins

...Rightio, before I start Id just like to point out that the cheapest price advertised with this product on ciao is £22. Thats actually higher that the RRP for this product and I know that is it £16 from wowwoman.com with free p&p. Be careful if you buy more than 1 item from this site thiough as any items you buy from Hong Kong over £18 come with an £8 customs charge. **************************** I got my Beauty Flash Balm, or Baume Beaute Eclair as it is also known, from wow woman after seeing it in endless magazines and such for years and years. For some reason I have always been mental about beauty products and since I was about 7 Ive been making a mental list of all the things I want. Whwn I got my first student loan a couple of years ago I embarked on a massive beauty splurge and have spent unspeakable amounts of cash on things...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

FLASH!!! Ah - aahhh!

Advantages: Does what it is supposed to
Disadvantages: High refill costs

...the batteries as the mop, once assembled, has a swivel cleaning head with an abrasive part on the top, and a button to press to spray the cleaning solution onto the floor. The handle is made of a light-weight metal that is quite easily assembled - once put together you can't take it apart again to store - and has a hook at the top to hang up the mop when not in use. You get a "user guide" too which tells you everything you need to know about using this item. As a set I think it was quite good value at £8.00, £19.99 would have been quite a lot in my opinon. The pads and bottle do have to be replaced with the branded flash products and so this is a hidden upkeep cost of this item in a sense - the bottles retail at £3.00 for 1 litre of product, and the pads are 6 for about the same price. Using the mop: Once you have got past the feeling...
