Crumpler laptop + photo bag

Advantages: lightweight, safe, cute
Disadvantages: none

...Crumpler Pretty Boy XL Back Pack Crumpler's an Australian company producing quality goods in the hold-anything bag industry, they specialize in laptop cases and bags, shoulder strap bags, camera bags and cellphone cases, but their product range is way wider including travel bags, trolleys, whatever-purpose backpacks and cases. Important to mention is that what makes it an outstanding trademark is besides inargumentable quality the products' looks. Crumpler is young, trendy, stylish, won't offend anybody and it has a spirit that makes you fall in love. I've had my eye on Crumpler since quite a while, but since their stuff isn't the cheapest, I had been waiting for a good reason to invest my money into one of their beauties and that has come just now. I was in acute need of a camera bag and I also longed for a laptop backpack so that...

Review of Crumpler Pretty Boy XL Shoulder bag Camera

Viva Crumpler!!

Advantages: Robust and resilient, looks good
Disadvantages: Not waterproof (not expected to be, but would have been nice!)

...I\'ve been using one of these for about 12 months now. Mines the cream/black/maroon version. As with all Crumpler bags, it's very sturdy and well made, and lots of practical features but be aware, this bag is most definitely NOT waterproof like most of their other bags, due to the neoprene panels (the main part of the bag is made from their water resistant ChickenTex fabric). Not a problem, just something to be aware of. Also, as with all Crumpler bags, it is very stylish and whilst it's maybe a bit more expensive than other brands, you DO seem to get what you pay for with their products. This little bag has had some serious abuse and apart from being a bit mucky (it's cream in colour - what do you expect), it's in great condition. This pouch is big enough to hold a larger compact digital camera (I use a Panasonic TZ1...

Review of Crumpler John Thursday 80 Pouch Camera

laptop sleeve - perfect for the MacBook

Advantages: Does the job and looks pretty too
Disadvantages: None!

...This is a little pricey for what it is you might think but mine has been really worth the money. It's so handy if you want to keep your laptop in a rucksack or quickly take it somewhere, it really does prevent the scratches and spills without being at all bulky. I have a MacBook Pro 17" and it fits perfectly, be careful if you have a not so slim laptop as it may not fit. I also use it on my lap to prevent the MacBook from burning my legs and am using it this minute, I've tried using cushions in the past which doesn't really work! I really do think it is one of those 'must-have' purchases when you buy a laptop, especially one as pretty as the MacBook! Don't worry about the zip scratching either as it has a protective flap, they thought of everything!...

Review of Crumpler Gimp 17 inch Laptop Sleeve

Dell Studio 17 Laptop.

Advantages: Great machine for small price.
Disadvantages: None

...This is the most affordable Laptop computer ever.. Dell Studio 17 the price is right about $380.00 Where in these days you can get a Note Book Computer with this kind of money? The Studio 17 is as attractive or desirable as an XPS laptop, but it is more appealing than an Inspiron. With that in mind, it achieves its objective: to be cheaper than an XPS without sacrificing too much in the way of looks. Yes indeed there are better replacement machines available, but the Studio 17 hold its own with most. With than in mind we are talking about /or $370.00- $380.00 price range. This machine is powerful, effective, good looking, light weight and easy to handle. The scree is wide and rezolution is fantastic. These days it's just doesn't pay to spend too much money on computers because tomorrow they will become absolite. So you spend...

17 Again: a star is born.

Advantages: funny, light hearted, hot
Disadvantages: bit teenagey, hollywood, screaming girls

...I believe in Zac Efron. I believe that behind the singing, the dancing, the basketball, the Disney brainwashing, the Hollywood smile, the flowing soft hair, the chiselled good looks, the piercing blue eyes you can swim in, the toned, muscular bo... Hmm... Seems I got a tad carried away there. Where was I? Ah yes, I believe that behind all that superficial (yet godlike) nonsense, there is a bloody good actor behind Mr. Efron?s perfect visage. I believe that one day we will all see the artist formerly known as Troy Bolton lifting one of those prestigious gold men in triumph of being able to break free from tween sensation to the star of our time. To say that in 17 Again, Zac is soaring, flying, there not being a star in heaven that he can?t reach would not only be the worst joke of all time, but also completely accurate. In High...

Review of 17 Again (DVD)

Brilliant HD Laptop

Advantages: Thought has been put into every aspect of the laptop
Disadvantages: Bit low on usb ports

...Dell in my view are amazing with laptops, desktops, servers, the whole lot. This sleek Inspiron 17 is for me one of the best dell sells for value. If you buy from the dell website you can personalise it like add a bigger hard drive ect. Starting price at the dell website is £349 which includes VAT and shipping. The screen is superb, 17.3 inches and a wide screen like quite a few laptops. It has a 1600x900 resolution which HD giving spectacular quality. The base model comes with vista home basic and a nice 160 GB hard drive. The battery life is quite good around 6 hours I can get out of mine not watching a hd video. It has a built in 1.3MP webcam with microphone along with the base which is good quality. Includes 3 usb ports and also comes with ATI Mobility Radeon graphics. There are many cool and sleek colours you can choose from along...

Review of Dell Inspiron 17

Boots 17 Liquid Eyeliner

Advantages: Quite cheap; didn't irritate skin or eyes; looks okay
Disadvantages: Pale colour, thin texture, poor staying power

...I don't feel fully made-up without wearing liquid eyeliner, which gives a definite, precise line on the upper eyelid to enhance the lashes and define the eye. Not all cosmetic brands produce liquid eyeliner; for instance, I don't think Maybelline or Boots Natural Collection offer one in their ranges. I experiment with different brands of make-up occasionally to make sure I'm not missing out on bargain prices or better quality items. If I recall correctly, I bought the 17 Liquid Eyeliner as part of a money-saving offer (3 for 2 on 17 cosmetics). It is usually priced at £3.91 for a tube. One tube of liquid eyeliner tends to last me a few months, so that is a reasonable price. Boots describe it as "a creamy and smudge proof eye liner perfect for creating a defined and dramatic look". I bought it in Black, my usual shade. The liquid...

Review of Boots No.17 Liquid Eyeliner

J17 - J 17 or Just 17

Advantages: Good for teens, tackles current problems with a good approach, latest news, gossip, fashions
Disadvantages: expensive, many adverts

...J 17 – is it ‘J17’, ‘J 17’ or ‘Just 17’? Over the last few years, its name seems to have changed numerous times; can’t they make up their mind? Unfortunately, they also cannot make up their minds about the price. When I first bought the magazine, it cost me about £1.40 – far too expensive, yet now, for the same magazine, it is an astonishing £1.90. Lucky for me, my parents pay for it, because I can honestly say I doubt I’d waste £1.90 a month on a magazine, however popular/good/fashionable it is. The magazine is usually about 122 pages long, with on average, 18 of these being taken up with adverts. Although annoying in principle, the prices would be even higher without them, and what they do actually advertise, is relevant to teens, and I have occasionally bought a new...

Review of J 17

No17 Metallic Eyeshadow

Advantages: High pigment colour, well priced
Disadvantages: None that I can think of!

...revamped No17 range. No17 Metallic Eyeshadow it was called unfortunately I don't have the name of the shade to hand as I am at work at the moment but I will add it at a later date for anyone who is interested. Now I must admit I don't usually tend to buy anything from the No17 cosmetic range as I can never seem to find anything I really like that much but since they have had an overhaul I have found a few items that I like. The eyeshadow which comes in a small pot and comes in tablet form has a silver plastic container with a clear screw lid with the distinctive 17 logo on it in silver writing. One of the things I liked about the pot was that the lid was totally clear so you could easily see the colour of the shadow through it, there's nothing worse than having to keep opening up pots to see what the colour is like inside. They do...

Review of Boots No.17 Metallic Eyeshadow

Boots 17 Sheer Shine Eye Creme

Advantages: nice colours
Disadvantages: streaky if you dont use a brush

...****Boots 17 Sheer Shine Eye Creme**** I actually got this in a 17 kit i bought in the January sales because i liked the bag and was willing to pay the price for the bag on its own. My 2 eye cremes therefore stayed in the bottom of my make up bag until i came across them the other day when i was having a clear out. **The range** Number 17 is a cheaper version of the boots no7 range and is only available at boots. I think it is mostly aimed at teenagers who don't have as much to spend on cosmetics. **Packaging** The packaging from this makes me think of several lip glosses that i own. It is the exact same shape as a no7 lip gloss i have and the only difference i can see is that the applicator is longer. **Product** One of the things i like about this is that it does not have a smell. According to the web site there are 6 different...
