Pantent Clarifying Shampoo

Advantages: Plain and simple packaging, average cost
Disadvantages: No real fragrance - neither bad nor good l suppose

...I first saw this new product from Pantent advertised on the telly, and as usually this girly with amazingly glossly flowing locks was extolling the virtues of the new Pantent Clarifying Shamppoo. Allegedly, this wonder shampoo could remove the build up of other styling products used on hair in just one simple wash - you know all that hair mousse, styling serum and spray that we slap on our locks. Well there l was in Tescos and l needed shampoo - well the Clarifying stuff was on special offer so why not - maybe it was as good as the manufacturers were making out (either that we could get them for a case of false advertising at the very least!). I got it for #1.50 l think when its usual retail price was #2 or there abouts (please correct me if l am wrong!). At this usaal retail price it is an average price along with other brands...

Review of Pantene Pro V Daily Clarifying Shampoo

Very poor quality shampoo

Advantages: Low price
Disadvantages: Bad for hair, refer to main review

...Avon Advanced Techniques Clarifying Shampoo Why Did I Buy the Product? As I am an Avon representative I have a discount catalogue for Avon products which means I can buy them at a cheaper price. As Advance Techniques Clarifying Shampoo is at a low price anyway, I was able to buy the shampoo for a very small amount of money. So, the main reason I bought the product was because of a low price. The Shampoo Itself The shampoo itself when squeezed out of the bottle is creamy and white in colour. It is a thick formula, and far too creamy for me. The shampoos I find best for my hair are a lot less creamy than this one and I think the fact that is too creamy is probably the main reason why it is no good for my hair. Also, when I wash my hair the shampoo itself always feels quite sticky when I rinse my hair with water...

Review of Avon Advanced Techniques Clarifying Shampoo

Lets clarify a few things!

Advantages: it works
Disadvantages: initial outlay is pricey

...be done online on the clinique website or by having a 2 minute assessment done by a member of staff on your local clinique counter. This way you will find out the correct Clarifying Lotion for your skin type. As with most Clinique products the packaging is very understated and excusing the pun clinical looking. The Clarifying lotion comes in a slightly frosted plastic bottle, with a large peppermint green coloured lid.On the bottle it's self you have the trade mark Clinique C in silver along with the name of the product again in silver.On the back you have the usual blurb telling you about the lotion. One design fault I found is the fact that the bottle opening does not have a small hole like you get on say shampoo bottles. This means you have to be very careful when pouring out the lotion as you can end up with far too much on your...

Review of Clinique Clarifying Lotion

Clearly Clarifying

Advantages: tones and tightens pores, nice packaging,
Disadvantages: can sting slightly, can be drying, expensive, smell

...I recieved this product as an extra christmas present last year along with other clinque products. I asked for this clarifying lotion because i had heard amazing things about it, both on here and from other people i knew... so on to the review! Clinque have a three step care system for the skin, designed to cleanse and remove dirt from the skin, exfoliate and leave the skin smooth whilst tightening the pores and finally to moisturise the skin, leaving it silky soft. The clarifying lotion is actually a toner. A toner is a product deisgned to be used after you wash/clense your skin. Toners are generally liquid, you apply the toner to cotton wool and sweep over the skin whilst the ingredients work to remove any remaining cleanser whilst tightening the pores helping to create a flawless finish. Most tones i have used have been...

Review of Clinique Clarifying Lotion

Clinique clarifying lotion helps with milia

Advantages: Clears up my cheek milia, exfoliates really well, diminishes wrinkles
Disadvantages: Stings a bit when applied, fairly expensive for most

...For years I've had milia on my cheeks, but I didn't know what they were. Since I read that milia only appears around the eye area, I always presumed that I'm just prone to whiteheads. Although they're not really whiteheads since they look like bumps under the skin. They are trapped skin cells. If I tried to squeeze them, I'd make an absolute mess of my skin and they'd then turn into inflamed spots that can be popped. However for the first few days, there would be nothing but clear liquid in them. I was always puzzled by this. And then I came across a forum where someone was talking about their cheek milia and I recognized my problem. Funny enough, the advice to try Clinique Clarifying Lotion came from my boyfriend. He uses it all the time and claims that's why his skin looks amazing, despite having oily skin. Don't you just love...

Review of Clinique Clarifying Lotion

Clarify your skin

Advantages: It really works, beautiful skin
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I've found another great product from Clinique that has now become part of my everyday beauty routine. It's one of those products that makes you think, "what did I do without it." The product I am talking about is their Clarifying Lotion Number 2. This lotion (which is actually a liquid) is part of their exfoliators range which are said to encourage skin renewal for a smoother complexion. They have gentle formulas which they say are the perfect way to uncover your skin's natural radiance. Firstly, just a bit of history about Clinique. Clinique is one of the world's largest suppliers of prestige makeup and fragrance products. It was launched by Estee Lauder Companies in August 1968. I have always viewed Clinique as an upmarket product and one that is known to have a very good reputation. It is more expensive than other makeup...

Review of Clinique Clarifying Lotion 2 (Normal to Oily

Protection, Clarifi-ed (iPhone)

Advantages: Durable, built-in macro lens
Disadvantages: Detracts from the iPhone's looks

...My second review on a Griffin product, this is the Griffin Clarifi, a "protective case with built-in close-up lens for iPhone 3G". I'm not usually a big fan of cases for any kind of mobile phone. What's the point in buying a nice looking phone and then covering it a bulky, usually ugly plastic, rubber or leather case? I guess the point is to avoid spoiling the looks with scratches or worse, but then if you're hiding the phone anyway... Anyway, after having my unprotected but relatively blemish-free iPhone for a few months now, it fell out of my pocket recently when I was getting out of a car on a business trip. Luckily it landed on the floor of the car and didn't fall further onto the road but I thought it was time to bite the bullet and get a case for it. I knew of the Clarifi before and thought it was one of the less ugly...

Review of Griffin Clarifi

Thats Clarified things

Advantages: Works well. softens and deep cleanses.
Disadvantages: Smells a bit whiffy

...I went into Debenhams and spotted the clinique counter. I had heard many good things about clinique and decided to investigate. I have very oily skin and am prone to blemishes (especially in the summer) and needed some help fast! The sales assistant was very helpful and set about distinguing my skin type. She asked me a few questions about my skin and came to the conclusion that I am a skin type 3. She gave me some samples of the extra strengh soap (see other op) and the clarifying lotion 3 to try. When i first tried this clarifying lotion I was a bit dubious as it smells very strong, but i pressed ahead and I was surprised with the results. You only need to use a little bit on a cotton pad, (dont use cotton balls, as they soak up too much product)you then gently sweep the lotion across your face, avoiding the eye area. After I had...

Batiste Dry Shampoo

Advantages: A fab product which leaves hair looking great
Disadvantages: None at all

...I was having a really bad hair day a couple of weeks ago, though it was my own fault as the night before I hadn't washed my hair out of laziness! I have the type of hair which does need washing on a daily basis or else it looks greasy, dull and lifeless the day after. My hair was that bad due to it not being washed that it made me feel really awful and self conscious. A work colleague recommended that I try Batiste Dry Shampoo for such occassions. I took her advice and purchased a bottle from Tescos on my next shopping trip. I paid £1.99 for a 150ml cannister, which I thought was quite good value for money. The cannister itself is a bright yellow colour with a jade green plastic lid. The cannister is re-cycleable and is found amongst the normal shampoos on the shelves. It supposedly had a Tropical scent to it, which was the theme...

Review of Batiste Dry Shampoo

Dove - The Shampoo of Champions!

Advantages: great value for money, smells lovely, makes hair really shiny and easy to manage
Disadvantages: bottle could be bigger.

...I have searched far and wide and spent unthinkable amounts of money on the latest 'oh-my-word-you-just-have-to-have-this' shampoos and for months I would always find myself with the same problem. My hair was just not as shiny and glossy and absolutely oh my gosh fabulous as the bottles promised. Whether it's the products themselves or whether my hair just refuses to cooperate with their shampoos, it just wasn't working for me. I was just about to give up the search and continue my use of the shampoo I was currently favouring, until I decided to buy a bottle of Dove shampoo and conditioner, and let me tell you, it is amazing. I have never ever seen my hair so glossy and in such good condition! It's great for long hair as it has added moisturisers in it so you can ensure even the very ends of your hair look in excellent condition! I...
