Superdrug Colour Effects is Effective

Advantages: Temporary just in case you dont like it
Disadvantages: Doesnt cover grey

...colour so no long term effects. **TO USE** Wet your hair. Work in as much colour effect as required - more for longer hair less for shorter. Leave for 5 minutes for subtle colour and upto 20 minutes for more intense colour and then rinse until the water runs clear - simple as that. Because its only a shampoo colour its very drippy while you are waiting for it to take so cover up well - an old shower cap is a good idea - not a new one because it will stain obviously. The finished colour intensity will depend upon the condition of your hair and your base colour - obviously the lighter your hair the more noticable its going to be. **CARE** Apparently this can cause an allergic reaction but no skin test is recommended - so i suppose you just suck it and see - i havent had a problem personally. Its not for dyeing your...

Rich Red colour effects

Advantages: Cheap, lovely colour, easy to apply, Clean
Disadvantages: Goes permainent if buily t up too long. Turns fingernails orange

...My hair is naturally blonde and a while ago I dyed it red with permanent colour. After a few months I got fed up of re applying it for the roots so I thought I'd try ths stuff to just blend them away. The first time you use it, there isn't a huge amout of difference but if you use it every time you wsh for the first 2 weeks and every other time for the future it will build up. After using this for quite some time I tried to wash it out too see how much permanent coulaer I had left in my hair. But I found that this had become permanent, which I was quite happy with to be honest.... but you have to use it a lot for that to happen. I'd reccomend that you leave it in for 15 mins the first couple of times to see a difference. After that just leave it for 5 - 10 mins but 15 - 20 a couple of times a month To make the colour brighter...

Review of Superdrug Colour Effects Wash In Wash Out

change your mind/ change your colour

Advantages: great for lighter hair colours
Disadvantages: dont work well an dark hair

...At just under a £1 a bottle these dyes are great for anyone who likes to play around with there hair colour but doesnt want to be stuck with a colour for too long. The dye is easy to apply as it comes in a bottle and you get a pair of those plastic gloves you get with every dye. The problem i found with this dye was that it was very watery and ran all over my neck and fore head, it would be a good idea to rub vaseline on all the skin around your hair before using this dye as it does dye anything it comes into contact with, even my bathroom carpet. You are supposed to only leave this on for 5 minutes but i left mine on for quite a bit longer. When i washed it off the colour looked lovely and they shine realy nicely. It does state in very small print dont use on grey or lightened hair, mine was dyed blond at the time but i...

WARNING! Was in/Wash Out - 7 weeks later and hair still coloured

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Doesn't wash out or fade much

...My daughter was going to a party and wanted to try a different hair colour for a change, so as she has never dyed her hair before I went for what I thought was a safe option and bought a wash in/wash out one from Superdrug called Colour Effects, warm chocolate brown 6.7. We waited until she broke up for the summer break and it was the day before the party before we applied the colourant, ensuring to follow the instructions. As it did not say to do a strand test, but might cause an allergic reaction, I dabbed a small amount behind her ear 48 hours prior to use as it should have advised to be on the safe side and as she had no reaction we tried it. Well....we left it on for the advised 5 minutes and thank god we didn't leave it any longer. It didn't come out brown, but a sort of auburn- ginger colour which she didn't like much but we...

Review of Superdrug Effects Temporary Hair Colourant

Effective as a Colour Glaze but a bit messy

Advantages: Enhances colour, makes hair feel shinier
Disadvantages: Packaging doesn't tell you how messy it is - or that it can mark

...At the time when I bought the Colour Glaze, it was a new addition to the John Frieda range, I happened to be using the Brilliant Brunette shampoo and conditioner and I'd recently spent enough at Boots for them to give me a £2 off professional haircare voucher at the till. I'd never coloured my hair before and when I bought this it was described along the lines of being a colour "enhancer" rather than an actual dye. As one would gather from the fact that I'm reviewing a product for brunettes with "Chocolate to Espresso" toned hair, mine is pretty dark brown so I wasn't looking to colour it, just to make it look nicer. Consulting now with John Frieda's website for purposes of accuracy, the company describe it as a "gel-creme formula" and although it informs me that the product is not a permanent hair colour and "will not lift or lighten...

Cool Effect Eye Colour

Advantages: lasts well, easy to apply, looks good
Disadvantages: won't stay all day

...I first came across Maybelline’s Cool Effect Eye Colour when I won a full-sized sample of the product after entering a competition giveaway on the official website. When I first received the eye make up I was rather sceptical about the colour as it was gold (Nougat 05 to be precise) and I am used to more earthy colours. I was willing to try something new however, especially as it hadn’t cost me a penny and I am glad to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The product comes in a neat, compact tube and the liquid (7.5ml) is tightly compressed, resulting more space in your cosmetic purse – which is definitely a bonus. In comparison to the Boots 17 equivalent product – Aqua Plus Sheer Eye Colour – the Maybelline packaging is far superior, although admittedly this is reflected in the price. On applying...

Review of Maybelline Cool Effect Eyeshadow

Cool colours with a real cool effect

Advantages: Good value for money, Long Lasting, Beautiful Colours
Disadvantages: Tricky to apply at first, Colours differ when applied

...My friend is an addict of Maybelline Cool Effect Eye Shadows and I understood her addiction right after buying one myself. The colour I bought was Ice Princess, which is supposed to look pinky. Colours available: Cool as Ice, Snow Bunny, Pretty Cool, Ice Princess, Peach Daiquiri, Blizzard Brown, On the Rocks, Cool as a Cucumber, Cold Cash, Cool Blues, Lilac Freeze, Sugar Plum Ice, Give Me the Chills, Steely Gaze, Cold Front, Midnight Chill and Black Frost. Why SUPPOSED to look pinky? Well, on the skin it looks more like an icy lilac/grey then icy pink (in fact, once, this friend who suggested that I'd buy this eyeshadow thought that I was wearing a powdery lilac eyeshadow which I have). When applying a Cool Effect Eye Shadow for the first time I found myself either applying too little or too many and it took me quite a while to...

Fear Effective

Advantages: Cool graphics and settings, great twists to story, challenging
Disadvantages: Can't save options, loading up from last save on death

...Fear Effect featured Motion FX for the first time ever; although you can see when the FMV loops, the backgrounds feel very much alive. A third-person adventure; the anime-style characters are well animated, but, in combat sometimes you are fighting several virtually identical enemies. Plus, picking up items can be tricky because of the camera angles; it's no surprise to see the game opt for tank-like controls - the characters do come complete with an 180-Degree Quick Turn, a highly effective evasive roll, and a Crouch Walk which allows the player to sneak up on an enemy for a Silent Kill. Also, as our playable characters are weapons experts, they are thus capable of firing double guns at different targets. The game has its fair share of puzzles - these go beyond the find-keys-for-doors type, and though their solutions are close-by, one...

Colouring with naturtint

Advantages: colours my grey
Disadvantages: price

...Yes I admit it I am going grey. I coloured my hair recently using Naturtint hair colour. Naturtint make a range of 24 Permanent Hair Colorants, from Ebony black , chestnut reds through to Blondes. It is also possible to mix these colours to get your own individual shade . My hair is not a vibrant colour its a greying mouse brown. Since this was the first time I was using this brand of hair dye I decided to play safe and a I chose hazel nut blonde. they don?t do mouse brown. I bought my pack from a health store. I think you should be able to buy it from health shops chemists and on line too, one site selling is http://www.herbsgardenshealth.com. I paid £9 for a bottle of this colour. It is more expensive than others I have used in the past .., but I think I have developed an allergy to one of the other hair dyes and bored...

Review of Naturtint Hair Colourants

Mass Effect. It had a massive effect on me.

Advantages: The best storyline I have found in a game. Its not just Oblivion with guns.
Disadvantages: Texture loading issues.

...Mass Effect by Bioware is one of the best action - rpg's I have ever played. It follows Commander Shepard on a epic space adventure in order to save the galaxy, accompanied by an assortment of characters, human and alien. There are games that claim to allow the player to choose where they want to go and that their actions have true consequences on their game. Most do not deliver on this promise. Mass Effect on the other hand delivers this in spades, explaining these in detail would ruin the truly amazing storyline as most of the choices come at pivitol points in the game, sometimes however you can make a choice which changes the game without even realising it. * Graphics The graphics are stunning, the game will take you to many planets, some snowcovered, others barren deserts, some tropical rainforests to name a few and they all...
