Batiste Dry Shampoo

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

...properly, but it did take the greasy looking shine off my hair and gave it some much needed life which it severely lacks if it hasn't been washed the night before. This product is a little gem which without the recommendation I wouldn't have thought of buying. I only use it in emergencies, but for a quick fix when you are short on time and can't possibly wash your hair properly then this little miracle can really make a difference to limp looking hair. I will always make sure I have this product in my cupboard now and will not hesitate to use it again. Batiste Dry shampoo gives great results to your hair and leaves it smelling fabulous too. A highly recommended product....

Bellstaf Dri-Bika Water proof Suit

Advantages: Small compact and 90% waterproof
Disadvantages: It is not for everyday hard use

...and seams aren’t meant to be waterproof. Miles away from home the heavens opened and at first I just resigned myself to the fact that I was going to get wet as the waterproof suit was so light and comfortable I forgot I had it. Then I remembered and pulled up under the bridge of a junction on a dual carrageway. Hoped off the bike and unpacked the suit, it was on in seconds, the only problem I had was getting the ankles around my boots, apparently putting a carrier bag over your boots makes this easy as they help you “slide in”. I continued the journey and arrived home pleasantly supprised. First of it kept the wind of me which always picks up and gets cooler in the raid. The suit leaked, I had damp knees a slightly moist backside and some spots of water down my chest where the zip had leaked. On the whole I was most...

Embassy Suites

Advantages: Good service, and amenities
Disadvantages: A long way from anything

...Embassy Suites On a recent visit to California, I was booked into this hotel because it was close to places I had to visit for work. The hotel itself is only a short drive from the airport (it took about half an hour in a hire car, and not knowing where I was going) and is located in La Jolla which is apparently quite an affluent area, featuring banks and houses and hotels as well as restaurants and a rather nice shopping mall. It's easy to drive into the hotel and should you ask for it there is valet parking in the high rise car park, but I just parked round the back of the hotel. Once inside the hotel, check in was quick and efficient and I was immediately impressed with the well set out entrance lobby featuring some nice little touches such as plentiful flowers. The reception desk is large and well staffed and also in...

Batiste Dry Shampoo :)

Advantages: Great for those who dont have time to wash greasy hair!
Disadvantages: Leaves hair feeling a little rough to the touch.

...fragrances, Tropical, Blush and Original. The dry shampoo is perfect for inbetween washes, as you know washing your hair everyday can be bad for your hair, especially if you don't use conditioner, as it washes out all the nutrients, but if like me, your hair gets greasy quickly, then this product is excellent as you can just spray it on when you need it, and it instantly covers the greasiness. Sometimes, if your hair has been very greasy if you use this, your hair is hard to brush through, and feels heavy and thick, and has no shine to it, as this isn't what its for, for best results; wash hair 3 times a week, (i.e Monday, Wenesday, Friday or whenever suits!) and use this inbetween washing! The product is very easy to use, its used like deoderant is used. You hold the can 15cm away from your hair, and spray onto the parts which are "on...

Review of Batiste Dry Shampoo

Soft and silky hair at short notice

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...So, I'm sitting in my jogging bottoms and a manky t-shirt, drinking a cup of tea, when I get a phone call . It's my dad - he's bored, and he wants to go out for lunch . Never one to turn down a free meal, I agree, and he tells me he'll be down in a taxi to pick me up in twenty minutes . Putting down the phone, I get into a panic - I look an absolute state, in my scruffiest clothes and my hair all over the place . I don't have a shower, and I certainly don't have time for a bath . I quickly run and get changed , slipping into some jeans and a nicer top . But what can I do about my hair ? Luckily , I've discovered Batiste Tropical Dry Shampoo - and it's the perfect little time saver for situations just like these . Until a little while ago, I'd never heard of this, until on a trip to the chemist to pick up a prescription, I found myself...

The Other Side Of Nelly: Suit

Advantages: Great production
Disadvantages: Poor rhymes

..."Suit" is the second half of a double album by Nelly released in 2004. It has him work in his smoother form, with music which is more R&B-like, than suited to rap. This means that you have a choice with Nelly's music, whether you enjoy his grittier side, or his singing side, to then pick a CD to match your preference. 1. "Play It Off" To set the scene for this album, we get a massive collaboratiion by Nelly as he gets a chance to rp as Pharrell does the production and singing for him. Although their work rarely comes together, when it does, such as in "Flap Ya Wings" (off "Sweat"), it is always top-quality. The pair work together amazingly, and with the futuristic Neptunes beats, and Pharrell's great falsetto singing, it all came together nicely. **Four Stars** 2. "Pretty Toes" I was extremely impressed by this tune...

Review of Suit [PA] - Nelly

Batiste Dry Shampoo

Advantages: Handy, pleasent smell
Disadvantages: Longer to brush product through on dark hair

...I first started using this product when I was a teenager and now I try have a can in incase of a bad hair day emergency. My hair is naturally thick and wavy and takes ages to dry and style, so I find Batiste useful if I don't have time to wash my hair and I'm going out. The packaging is fairly simple and old fashioned looking and the product itself has a pleasent, clean smell. You apply it like a hairspray and the product goes on as a fine powder which you brush through your hair. My hair is currently brunette so I find I need to spend more time brushing it through than when my hair was blonde, however it's quicker and easier to brush this product through the hair than talc....

Batiste Dry Shampoo

Advantages: Makes hair appear cleaner
Disadvantages: Hard to spray on to the back of hair

...I've been looking for a dry shampoo like this for a while but thought they were all out of my price range, as I didn't want to spend a fortune on something that wasn't any good. That was until I saw a review on here, stating how good it was and also the price - £1.99. For this price, I thought you couldn't go wrong really, because if it ended up being rubbish, it hasn't exactly made me skint, so I thought... why not? I read some more reviews on it, and the majority of them had got 4 to 5 stars. So the next day I went in to boots, and searched the store for it. Once I had found it, it was priced at £2.09, so me, being the cheap skate that I am, went across to Superdrug and found it in there for £1.99. It's in a srapy can in a similar size to hairspray with a pull-off lid and comes in a 150ml size can, but I don't think you can buy...

Dried cow juice

Advantages: Long shelf life
Disadvantages: Doesn't always dissolve in hot drinks

...a picture of a white cup of coffee and a spoonful of dried milk about to be added to it, a slightly smaller cup above shows that milk has been added. The box contains 454grams and there is a short pictorial description of the food value in 57grams made up with 568ml of water. The milk powder is encased in a paper packet inside the box. ************************** Details and Information ************************* The dried skimmed milk has added vitamins A and D. In red there is a warning about allergy advice, the most obvious one being that it contains milk! Secondly although it is contains no nuts and is made in a nut free factory it cannot be guaranteed to be nut free. There is a caution too that it is not suitable for infants under 12 months. It is suitable for vegetarians. Storage should be in a cool dry place. I usually tip mine into...

Review of Tesco Value Dried Skimmed Milk

Whitworths dried onions

Advantages: quick no smelly hands
Disadvantages: none

...Whitworths is well known for dried fruit and vegetables - more fruit though I think. It was 1886 when the business was first formed and it grew rapidly in the 1950's. Their suppliers now exist in over 80 countries around the world. Dried onions are a convenient and easy way to add flavour to any dish. I was made aware of dried onions as a child, my mum used them in dishes such as 'tatty ash' and cottage pie. I asked her why she used them instead of real onions as I remember my nana having onions and pickled onions in bowls of water (not sure why or if I remember correctly). Her reply was that she didn't like onions so that's why she added dried ones, hmmm aren't they still onions but she insisted that they weren't as strong tasting and dissolved in the food so you couldn't taste them (so why put them in?) As I grew up and got...
