NME TV

Advantages: Great music
Disadvantages: Too many advers

...I'm an individual who enjoys a good bit of music. Any genre will generally do if it's 'good' - by that I mean not some terrible cheesy pop song, but generally I'll stick to my indie/rock malarkey. So it's ideal then that the New Music Express has introduced their own TV station - NME TV... Operated by CSC Media Group, it replaced the music channel 'Minx' in November 2007 - which is odd as I believe Minx was more a pop music channel that indie. Upon it's launch, the first song it played was 'Up The Bracket' by the Libertines, so a perfect indication of what this channel would be playing. Like with all music channels, it's input is predominantly music videos - along with copious amounts of adverts - but it does also contain special shows, often highlighting bands with albums recently released or out soon either picking their...

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...

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...

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...

TV Quick

Advantages: *
Disadvantages: *

...of last weeks issue but it is very similar from week to week. ~ The Cover ~ The cover of the magazine always has a picture and headline from a main story from one of the main soaps. Other TV programs are advertised on the cover. It is colourful and eye-catching, however I don't think it has a better cover than any other TV magazines in the shops, but it is appealing and it does make me pick it up and read most weeks. So I do believe the cover does it job properly as if it looked boring I wouldn't read it. So what's inside TV Quick?? ~ The First Page ~ This page includes the contents. It lists the contents under three headings. 'The soaps,' 'Features' and 'Regulars. This makes it quickly accessible if you want to go straight to a certain feature if you only have a spare 5 minutes. (However, the layout of the magazine is similar...

Review of TV Quick

What a fruity colour!

Advantages: Doesn't smell of bleach
Disadvantages: Can be fiddly

...Having a flex day from work today, I felt that I needed some well deserved pampering. My hair is now starting to get quite a lot of grey showing through, so I decided that papering and dying could go hand in hand. Now, I am not really a miser, but I do object to paying £60 plus to have my hair coloured in a salon. And I just can't be doing with sitting in a hairdressers for 2 hours so I tend to dye it myself at home. Yesterday, I picked up a packet of Garnier Nutrisse Cream in Tesco for £4.99 (or you can buy 2 for £8 at the moment). The colour I chose was 7.3 Golden Praline, Golden Blonde. This is a permanent hair colourant that claims to be nourish as it colours, cover 100% of grey, has 2 times more avocado oil and provides a radiant long lasting colour. The colourant does contain hydrogen peroxide. The product comes in...

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...

"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...

Review of Glo Care Colour Catcher

Colourful Designs

Advantages: Broadens a child's imagination
Disadvantages: Be careful they don't get lost

...***Background*** I'm not sure when I bought this simple toy for my girls but I do know it was many years ago. I've searched on many websites and it seems that the only person that makes them nowadays is a company called Quercetti. They have many different sets that you can buy but the best deal seems to be the big pack of beads and the separate boards. We came across these the other day whilst sorting out some boxes in the loft and thought they would be an ideal treat for my son, as he loves making pictures and it gives his imagination something different to work with, rather than crayons or paints. ***What Are They?*** Basically they are quite simply a board with lots of holes in and a whole bunch of coloured pegs to put in it. The colours seem to be pretty universal - red, yellow, blue and green. The boards that you get...
