A high quality brush for those rosy cheeks.

Advantages: Blends the blusher in nicely.
Disadvantages: Very pricey!

...I got my Clinique Blush Brush in a gift I got from Clinique when I boughtt 2 or more products. Clinique will often do these gifts so I tend to wait until they are doing this offer somewhere, whether it be Debenhams or Boots, until I stock up so I can get some nice free things to try out. This brush is designed for the application of blusher on your cheeks and cheekbones. It is tapered slightly to make it more softer and easier to apply your blusher. The brush feels nice and soft and the handle feels sturdy and of good quality. The handle has a transparent plastic with silver Clinique lettering near the bottom of the brush. The brush as a whole is just under 6 inches long and not overally bulky or hard to grip in your hands. The brush part itself is 3cm long and approx 2.5cm wide, this makes it perfect for people with smaller faces...

Review of Clinique Blush Brush

Brush Up

Advantages: A great little must have for the face, stimulates circulation and smooths skin.
Disadvantages: A bit hard to keep clean.

...Review of The Body Shop Facial Brush. This little piece of equipment from The Body Shop is something that I had never seen before, and I currently use a Body Brush to exfoliate and help circulation, so I wanted to give it a go for my face too! I have combination skin that is prone to slight acne on the chin area and some dry patches on my forehead. I have purchased the newest version of the Facial Brush which is a small brush with an easy to hold bottom for hand-help use and cap to keep in clean. Price: This item was only £2.90, which I think is great it will last me a long time. Product: Ok it?s a brush, but it has so many useful parts to it. It is small for starters-and a nice clear colour with the white Body Shop logo on the top of the handle. The bristles of the brush are very soft and are placed in a circular way...

Review of The Body Shop Facial Brush

Fear The Dust.

Advantages: A thought-provoking read.
Disadvantages: Not completely satisfying.

...INTRODUCTION I first heard of this book by reading a review of it on Ciao by baby1j2005. I am interested in reading about survival and how people cope with extreme situations. I have read many factual accounts from survivors of the Holocaust of WWII and from the inhumane nuclear attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I have also read a lot of fiction based on the plague and nuclear holocaust, so my interest in Children of the Dust was piqued and I bought it from Amazon for £4.99. The novel arrived yesterday and I finished it a few hours later. With its striking cover, it is a book you want to read without delay and it is easy to finish, due to both its compelling story and its brevity at only 174 pages. SYNOPSIS The novel is split into three parts, each one featuring one main character - Sarah, Ophelia and Simon. Each part...

Review of Children of the Dust - Louise Lawrence

Dazzle my Dust indeed!

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...I would have to say that simply these dazzle dusts pots are really a fashion MUST have! You can buy them for about £4.50 from most chemists such as Boots or Superdrug and you can also buy them direct from the Barry M site if you would prefer. There are SO many colours to choose from so you could never say there wasn't one to suit you- in fact I think there is over 60 shades in total and they are always bringing out new colours (recently they have brought out shades such as 'dark chocolate, petrol black, parrot green'...) Personally I have loads of these dusts including Mushroom, Khaki, Blue Violet and Peony. They look great when they are blended together and you can even mix them to create your own colour palette! There are an infinite amount of possibilities! The packaging, I think is great as it is small and compact- great...

Review of Barry M Dazzle Dust

Amazing brush

Advantages: Performs well and doesn't shed
Disadvantages: Price

...I'll start by telling you what maccosmetics.co.uk states about this brush, before I give my opinion. "A large full circular brush used for lightweight application and blending of face powder or pigments. Use to create soft layers or add textures. Made from a soft blend of goat and synthetic fibres." I have to say I really rate this as a make up brush. It has so many uses for me I can't imagine not owning it! Firstly, I prefer a full coverage look with foundation, however I don't like looking like I have lots of foundation on. Enter the Mac 187 brush, also referred to as a stipling brush, it blends foundation perfectly! I apply a little to my face using either the brush or my fingers, then I blend by moving the brush in circular motions on my face. The brush is amazingly soft and I find it a joy to use. If you are familiar...

Review of MAC 187 Duo Fibre Brush

Tooth saving brushes!!

Advantages: Especially good for those with large gaps between their posterior teeth
Disadvantages: Not very useful if the gaps between you teeth are very narrow.

...As a student studying to be a dentist, I can not sufficiently stress how important it is to clean interdentally! I think my family and fiancé can vouch for that because more often than not, you'll find me telling them off for poor hygiene habits. Tut tut! -- Why do I need to clean interdentally? -- The problem with ordinary brushing is that there is no way the bristles of the toothbrush can get access interdentally, (i.e. in between your teeth), even if you try to force them to! During the day, the level of plaque in our mouth will increase and so will the number of bacteria. This bacteria can then not only cause tooth decay but it can also lead to Gingivitis (inflammation on the gums), which, if not treated can lead to Periodontitis (inflammation of the bone that surrounds teeth), which will cause tooth loss! Oh No! Ordinary tooth...

Review of Tepe Interdental Brushes

Bourjois Bronzer Brush

Advantages: Really soft on skin
Disadvantages: Sometimes looses bristles

...I got the Bourjois bronzer brush when I first bought the bronzer, which was about a year ago. They both came out at around the same time and it looked really nice and they made a nice set together so I bought them both. To be honest I can't remember how much it was, it says on here £10 but I remember it being more in the region of £7-8, but maybe it has gone up in price since then. How it looks It came in a clear plastic cover to protect it which was really plain but I loved the look of the brush straight away, It has a bronzy coloured base with Bourjois Paris written on in gold lettering, with some of the usual French calligraphy beneath this. The bristles of the brush match as they are a chocolate colour with a few more golden bristles between them. Overall the brush just looks really cute! Using the brush...

Review of Bourjois Powder Brush

We Are But Shadows and Dust

Advantages: Distinctive sound and vocals, great catchy riffs, well executed
Disadvantages: None

...and immensely entertaining, with plenty of sections that simply beg to be bellowed or screamed out loud. 'Shadows and Dust' is a relentlessly heavy yet also very catchy and melodic listen that marries over the top silliness and sonic intensity in a way that is hugely endearing. Full of great riffs, its a very uplifting and entertaining album from start to finish. It's by far my favourite Kataklysm album, and the band would seem to acknowledge its appeal as they played it almost in its entirely last time I saw them live. Catchy, fun and crushing. Tracklisting- 1. In Shadows and Dust 02:46 2. Beyond Salvation 04:10 3. Illuminati 04:59 4. Chronicles of the Damned 03:14 5. Bound in Chains 03:24 6. Where the Enemy Sleeps... 05:20 7. Centuries (Beneath the Dark Waters) 05:57 8. Face the Face of War 05:10 9. Years of Enlightment...

Review of Shadows And Dust - Kataklysm

Dust Devil - a future classic?

Advantages: Atmospheric 'horror' movie dominated by its hypnotic tone and suspense; makes beautiful use of the Namibian desert
Disadvantages: Those looking for gore won't find it here

...I'm not sure when I first saw Dust Devil except that it comes under that category of late one night I ended up watching some film, I know not why, and was amazed. Such is Dust Devil. Then, yesterday, I saw the DVD, and heedless of price I bought it, knowing that it is practically a 'lost' film, though it was only originally released in 1992. I didn't want to get home, search the internet for the cheapest price, only to find it out of stock, out of stock. The DVD is in fact a director's cut, or as the credits at the end note, the restored version. Miramax removed some portion of the film and I don't know what or why. There are deleted scenes on the DVD that you can understand the omission of. They don't feel right. Except, that is, for one scene regarding the ringing of telephones that links together several strands of the plot...
