Another good hair colour range from Schwarzkopf!

Advantages: Dye, smell, application
Disadvantages: Colour not exactly as described

...The Schwarzkopf Live Unlimited Gloss range is a little different to the Live Color XXL range. Instead of just giving you intense colour, you now get glossy locks with it! Because of this, the hair colour is a bit more expensive (£5 odd) but it's worth it! Contents 1 X Tube of Live Colour Creme (60ml) 1 X Bottle of Developer Lotion (60ml) 1 X Tube of Live Colour Conditioner (22.5ml) 1 X Pair of Gloves (although these are quite flimsy, I use medical gloves) 1 X Instruction Leaflet Application Exactly like the Live Color XXL range (don't worry, I'll tell you!). Note: Always do the allergy test 48 hours before! Apply 1cm X 1cm patch of the colour creme on the inside of your elbow and leave for 45 minutes. Wash off with lukewarm water and see if you have any reaction within 48 hours of applying. You have...

Review of Schwarzkopf Live Unlimited Gloss Permanent Colour

Nice range of colours

Advantages: Colour, application, removal, how long it lasts
Disadvantages: Bottle can be fiddly

...I got some on offer at our local chemist and I was surprised to find that although they weren't as expensive as the rimmel collection, they did the same job. There I learnt it's not always about the cost! Range of Colours They had pink, blue, black, purple (the ones I own), gold, silver, emerald, red, clear, white etc. They also had different shades of a colour (eg. frosted pink, hot pink). Bottle The nail varnishes come in a glass bottle with a silver lid. Compared to my other nail varnishes, the Miners collection were a lot longer and slimmer. Because they are not rounded, it can make it difficult to hold while you are trying to paint your nails so I put it inbetween my knees whilst I'm doing my nails. The bottle doesn't break easily when dropped on a hard floor although it will depend on how hard your floor is...

Review of Miners- Nail Polish

The BEST Hair Colour Range For Men And Women

Advantages: Fantastic colours in range, easy and non-messy to use. Great true result!
Disadvantages: You need 2 boxes if you have long hair! With the 1, you DO get quite a bit though.

...~~~Schwarzkopf LIVE Colour - PERMANENT~~~ (Red Planet) THE TRICK:(Just use a colour-locking-in conditioner each wash and Bob's your uncle!!) I actually used this range for the first time last year, and was pleasantly surprised at how vivid and radiant the colour was! This time I've used "Red Planet", another colour in the Live range and it's really impressed me! Alot of people reading this, like me, have probably tried numerous hair colours, as isn't experimenting the spice of life?! And have either loved or loathed the results! I think a popular conclusion seems to be "Oh, look! It doesn't look anything like that on the box!" With "Red Planet", it is ideally for naturally dark blonde or light to medium brown hair, but you CAN pre-lighten beforehand with either LIVE pre-lightener, or another suitable one, of your...

Review of Schwarzkopf Live Hair Colour-Permanent

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...

Crayola Color Wonder range

Advantages: Pens only work on special paper
Disadvantages: none

...I bought these for my 2 year old son. He loves drawing and colouring particularly with felt tips but has to be watched like a hawk with them. These were the answer to my prayers. The pack I bought included a colouring book, a pack of 6 markers/felt tips and a bag for keeping the felt tips in. The point of these is that the markers will only work on this particular range of paper. They will not work on walls skin furniture etc. The colouring book has 24 pages and has pictures of various animals in it. The pictures are big and bold so are ideal for little hands. The markers only work inside the outline of the picture so is great for teaching children how to colour in. My little boy had been only playing with them a little while when he soon got the idea of colouring in a complete shape rather that scribbling randomly. The markers...

Colour Adapt Foundation?

Advantages: good pump on bottle to aid application, long ;asting
Disadvantages: hard to blend, quite thick

...I went for a Max Factor Foundation as I knew the brand as was intrigued by the 'colour adapt' part of the labelling. As I had previously found it hard to find a foundation that matched and complemented my skin tone (I'm fairly pale in skin colour), this appealled to me as I'm always keen to avoid that over made up look. The bottle looked good, with a pump for easy application. I went for one of the paler shades, that looked to match my skin tone fairly well. The foundation itself was actually a lot thicker than I was used too, and quite powdery. I thought that this would be good as it would avoid the greasy look that some foundations had given me in the past after a few hours wear, The thickness of the foundation meant that I actually found it pretty hard to apply. It was difficult to judge the reight amount that would give me...

Review of Max Factor Colour adapt Foundation

Max Factor Colour Adapt Foundation

Advantages: Evens skin tone, looks quite natural, a little goes a long way
Disadvantages: Caused me to break out, encouraged oilyness, didn't stay on amazingly long

...counter. I told her my budget, what my skin tends to be like, how much coverage I wanted and how often I'd be using foundation. For those who'd like to know (and I already explained my skin at the beginning), it went something like this: - £10-£15 Budget. - Medium to full coverage. - I use foundation practically every day. She recommended Max Factor Colour Adapt, it was around £11 and she happily went into detail about it. It has no SPF but you can easily sort that out by using moisturiser first, it's quite a liquidy consistancy and you only need to use a pea sized amount, it sets almost powder like. Sounded great to me, so I went ahead and got it. So, Amy, what was it like? Well, Ciao, I've been using this for around 2 weeks now and it definitely evened out my skin tone; even brought a bit more colour to my face without it looking...

Colour Adapt Perfection

Advantages: Blends well, value for money,shades for everyone.
Disadvantages: re-application sometimes necssary

...I bought this product from a local Boots store for only £7.50. I had heard that this was one of the best foundations there is, especially for my fair skin tone. They were right. This line of foundation has an extensive range of shades from the ghostly white to the darkest brown, a colour for everyone. I managed to find my perfect shade quickly and efficiently without the need for testers. This foundation I found was easy to blend even upto my hairline and the small cracks around my nose. The visibilty was just enough and it's coverage beautiful. It was noticeable and because it had adapted itself to my skin, it gave my skin tone a look of perfection. It is exceptional value money and I would reccomend it to any woman who struggles with blending their current foundation or finding their shade. Removing the foundation couldn't have been...

amazing colours

Advantages: brilliant book
Disadvantages: none

...Amazing colours is a brilliant learning aid for pre school children. This book cost me £4.99 from morrisons which i think was realy good for a book like this. There are parental notes in this book for the parents telling them how to best use this book, what stage a child should begin to learn things and lots of other realy interesting things. RED has a picture of a toddler holding a red umbarella, opposit this you have a page divided into squares each containing something red. A red fork, red car, strawberries, red shoes and a tomato. each square tells you a little bit about the item. on this page there is a pull tab on the side which asks you what colour are apples and you have to pull the tab to find out. Yellow picture is more detailed and is realy looking at tones of colours, in the big picture you have a little...

Review of Amazing Colours - Miriam Stoppard

"COLOUR ME PURPLE!"

Advantages: Catches most of the excess dye in the wash; keeps clothes "brighter" and "whiter"
Disadvantages: Smell when first open pack might make asthmatic person wheeze; have to remember to use

...without me noticing ~ sometimes with funny items in the pockets. Once or twice he has even tossed his red "Steward" sweatshirt jumper into the machine (as well!) without telling me (fortunately it has been washed so many times it barely bleeds now). If I'm tired, I tend to just bung the appropriate load l have chosen to wash into the washing machine, crumble an ACDO non-bio washing tablet in the soap drawer, rinse the soap through with warm/hot water, set a 40 degree regular wash, and start the machine. Then I go do something else (like read, rate and comment on reviews) in the other room while the washing machine gets on with the job! By the time l notice that the water in the "wash-a-vision" has turned a peculiar colour, it's usually too late to do anything l haven't already done (such as place a Colour Catcher® in the back...
