Finally a soothing mask designed for your eyes

Advantages: Very soothing, doesnt cause irratation like other products can, leaves your eyes feeling refreshed. All in all a fantastic product!
Disadvantages: None although after taking the pads off they tend to leave a very slight stickyness.

...MY OPINION: The need for a soothing product that actually works on your eyes is something that i greatly emphasise because as yet i havent found a product which does this job, until i came across a product in Boots which surprised me. 'Boots Botanics Revitalising eye masks' are specially designed as a mask to sooth and refresh your eyes, ideally suited for use after a tiring or stressful day at work. The first time i used this mask i was incredibly impressed by its performance as it left my eyes and the tissue around them feeling cool, refreshed, soft and soothed. INFORMATION AND PERFORMANCE OF PRODUCT: Firstly i'd like to describe how many useful and successful added products are used in this revitalising eye mask. The use of Sweet Balm which cleanses and tones to improve the condition of your skin and Cornflower which...

Review of Boots Botanics Revitalising Eye Masks

..When smoke gets in your Eyes..

Advantages: Cools,rehydrates.I think it helps my bags too!
Disadvantages: None,apart from being a bit pricey.

...Picture the scene- you've had a hard day,very little sleep...your body feels like it's been through a washing machine,and you can't prise your eyes open,and the box of matches on the side will never bear the weight of those bags winking at you from the bathroom cabinet mirror. I can't stand those women that have passed a certain age;eg:mother of ten,grandmother 14 times over,Baking bread,immaculate house,perfect nails,ten of the neighbour's children last night for a sleep over,and STILL manange to look as if they've just stepped out of a beauty parlour at 6 am in the morning -with not ONE exploding vein to be seen in their pristine white eye balls as they magically apply their makeup...how do they do it,I'll never know...but one secret worth sharing to help those "sack of spuds under the eyes"feeling-is-Optrex! AAh...Bliss! for all...

Review of Optrex- Fresh Eyes- Eye Mask

The Mask review

Advantages: Very very funny
Disadvantages: None

...The Mask is a comedy made in 1994 and was part of the trifecta (the others being "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" and "Dumb & Dumber") that propelled Jim Carrey from unknown to superstar. It also made a star of another unknown actor, this time being Cameron Diaz. Jim Carrey plays Stanley Ipkiss, a bank clerk and a really nice guy. But, he is a bit of a pushover and never really stand up for himself. After a particularly bad day, he stumbles upon a mask, that he finds out depicts Loki, the Norse god of mischief. When he puts on the mask, he turns into a green faced, wacky, snappy dresser! He's confident, romantic and not afraid to fight for what he believes in, so you could say he just brought out what Stanley is really like inside himself. So, together with his dog, Milo, they go out and paint Edge City red! Well, green really. This...

Safe, Snug & Sleeping

Advantages: Baby Sleeps! You Sleep!
Disadvantages: They don't make them in adult sizes!

...The most precious thing in a parent’s life is their newborn baby. The second most precious thing in their lives is sleep. Nothing really prepares you for the levels of sleep deprivation that is experienced in the first few weeks of a newborns life. When you are going through the routine of waking several times a night, not having reached the stage of developing any kind of ‘routine’ you can really feel like it’s never going to end. The ultimate goal and the ‘promised land’ of your baby ‘sleeping through’ feel an immeasurable distance away. However, those early weeks can be short lived and some babies do sleep through from an early age. The question is how can we encourage them to do this sooner rather than later. One very simple thing you can do that is quite inexpensive is to invest...

Mudd Mask

Advantages: Leave skin so smooth, easy to use
Disadvantages: Takes ages to remove

...which isn't the nicest smelling face mask I have used but it isn't unpleasant either. The clay contains lots of minerals which are good for your skin and will help to remove any impurities in your pores. I have quite sensitive skin and this product does not aggravate me in anyway as it has been dermatologically tested. Using The Mask Before you apply the mask, you will need to ensure that you have removed any makeup. I tend to cleanse my face before using this to make sure that my face is clean and the mask can get to my pores, if you really want to ensure the mask gets to your pores then you can apply this mask while laying in a hot bath (meaning you pores will be open because of the heat) The idea is to then spread the mask all over your face avoiding your eyes and mouth. These is more than enough face mask in one sachet...

Review of Mudd Original Mask

The Mask

Advantages: Easy to use, lasts a long time, cleanses and purifies your skin.
Disadvantages: Looking very ugly with it on & slightly dries out my skin.

...?~ Okay being in my 30s I don't really suffer from blemishes so perhaps this isn't the most appropriate face mask for me but since I was given this as a gift, I thought I would give it a whirl! On opening the lid, you are hit with a strong smell of peppermint, not my favourite smell but not my worst, so bearable. The cream itself is very 'creamy', rich and very very smooth to the touch. Scoop some of the cream out of the tub and apply to your face with your fingertips. It goes on very easily, avoiding the eyes and lip area so that by the time you are finished it's quite a scary and oh so unattractive look, especially today since my eyes were still a little blooshot from last night's antics! After the first couple of minutes, you can definitely feel a little tingling sensation on your skin. When I first used this I thought that I must...

Review of The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Face Mask

A Good Nights Sleep

Advantages: Moulds easily to body shape, comfortable
Disadvantages: Bit bulky

...Although pregnancy is a wonderful experience, it?s not always the most comfortable. Finding a comfortable position to sleep can be difficult, especially in the final months, even if you don?t have any additional problems. And if you do suffer from a problem such as Symphis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD) then it?s almost impossible to sleep without suffering from severe pain. This is where the Mothercare Sleep Body Pillow comes into it?s own. The size of the box the Sleep Pillow is vacuum packed in totally belies the actual size of the pillow. I was a little shocked when my partner brought it home, it was hard to believe that such a large product could be so easily carried back from the shop. On opening the box it was easy enough to open up the plastic packaging (using a pair of scissors) and the pillow ?re-inflated? almost immediately...

Review of Mothercare Sleep Body Pillow

Sleeping with ghosts...

Advantages: if you like the old Placebo, get this too
Disadvantages: none really.

...Placebo - 'Sleeping With Ghosts' This has been hiding in my collection for sometime and to be honest before now I'd never given it a proper listen to. Well apart from skipping to 'The Bitter end' and a couple of others. Well...WOW ! 'Bulletproof Cupid' first on the play starts slow like your more classic placebo stuff then with a drum beat that kicks in the rest, music. Guitar drums sounds - an amazing track that has no words - unless I missed them?- just a rocking good tune showing off the talent of the music behind Moloko. English Summer Rain' by contrast begins sounding like a dance remix track to me - does improve though. When the guitar jumps in. If listening through headphones sounds way better as it skips from ear to ear right through your head.. "...I'm in the basement baby, your in the sky...I'm in the basement baby...

Review of Sleeping With Ghosts - Placebo

Clinique are All About Eyes

Advantages: Tones skin, nice silky texture, diminishes dark circles
Disadvantages: Doesn't rid me completely of the dark circles, no SPF

...Dark circles are my biggest complexion problem - no matter what I do, whether it's more sleep, more water, eye creams, they don't seem to budge. Having tried numerous eye creams in the past, I'd not been convinced that they really did anything to help shift the circles, but when I began to suffer from tiny patches of dry skin under my eye last month, I knew it was time to invest in an eye cream pretty sharpish! Having read numerous positive reviews of Clinique's All About Eyes on Dooyoo, it seemed to be the best choice as it promised to rid me of the dark circles as well as moisturising. All About Eyes is packaged in a small 15ml orangey pink pot with silver screw top lid. Like all Clinique packaging, it's simple but classy and looks great. It has a plastic cover underneath the lid to prevent the cream from falling into the lid if you...

Review of Clinique All About Eyes

Behind the mask is an exceptional film

Advantages: Amazing story and brilliant performances
Disadvantages: The softness of the picutre due to the way it was shot

...slightly hazy which are down to the fact that this commentary was recorded many years after the film was made. On the whole, a very good commentary, with some interesting elements which you don't always get in many modern commentaries. Mask Revealed: A Conversation with Director Peter Bogdanovich - This is surprisingly quite a decent extra which comes in at just over 20 minutes. Whilst there is some repetition of the information already heard in the audio commentary, there are plenty of other interesting facts such as why they chose Eric Stoltz for the lead instead of Rob Lowe and how Laura Dern actually became temporarily blind by unfocussing her eyes. This is definitely worth watching. ► Picture and Sound Quality Sadly the picture quality lets the film down with several scenes featuring flecks and considerable hazing, which is...
