Small, light flash drive

Advantages: Huge storage capacity, given it's size
Disadvantages: Can misplace it easily as its so small!!

...I bought this product from play.com for £17.99 which i think was a bargain. It's so small and light. Fantastic for transferring my coursework from home to uni and vice versa. Only problem is because it's so small, it gets lost at the bottom of my bag and i worry i've lost it totally! As for the memory size, 4GB is excellent! I bought it to back up some movies, pictures and songs from my computer, and it's great given its small physical size. I found that with my old USB memory stick, i kept misplacing the cap which inevitably damaged the memory stick. The great thing about this flash drive is that it doesn't have a cap, the USB bit is retractable instead! Installation was very straightforward and fast, practically all automatic. It's got a wierd U3 application that i'm just getting to grips with as i've never come across such...

Review of SanDisk Cruzer Micro - USB flash drive - 4 GB

Beauty Flash Bum!

Advantages: None that I can think of
Disadvantages: Expensive and over-rated

...I was given a tube of this 'wonder cream' as a Christmas present from my in-laws just last Christmas. It sat inside my dressing table drawer until about three weeks ago, still in its original box/packaging etc, unused. I don't know why it's taken me so long to open the box and read the 'instructions leaflet' and actually use the stuff - maybe I was having a 'premonition' about it?? I have to say, Clairins Beauty Flash Balm, or, as it states in the French (also on the packaging/tube) "Baume Beaute Eclair" has been probably THE most disappointing beauty product I have used, EVER!! I've used a lot during my years, but this stuff does not live up to the hype, so don't waste your money. The tube I was given is a 50ml (1.7floz) size and I believe it costs somewhere in the region of £17.00 to £19.00 in major department stores. I...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

From monster to model in a flash?

Advantages: Immediate radiance of skin, great with foundation
Disadvantages: Cost

...of my best friends has very fair skin, being a red-head and she also has problems with sensitivity - so when she explained how Clarins used high quality ingredients with a more than above average percentage of natural plant extracts and that she'd never had any bad experiences with them - I decided to give the brand a go. The Beauty Flash Balm was not the first product that I tried, but having had success with various Clarins cleansers, toners and moisturisers without any bad reactions from my skin, I was looking for something which would brighten up my skin after one too many late nights or lack of sleep. Of course there is no substitute for 8 hours sleep, but sometimes we do need a little help to make up for our excesses! This seemed a good option to try. The Product and its claims: The main statement made by Clarins is that...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Beauty in a flash...

Advantages: Instantly works on improving skin appearance
Disadvantages: Quite costly

...Wanting to further improve my skin, friends recommended me this flash balm so a friend offered me a sample of the product to try. I was eager to try it out! Clarins is a well-known and highly respected brand in the make up industry. Their ranges of products are all of an extremely high quality and value. Although their prices are on the high end of the scale, their products are well worth the money. So what is this Flash Balm? Clarins states that this Beauty Flash Balm will -Promote immediate and long-lasting radiance. - Firms and helps minimise fine lines and wrinkles. - Smoothes and softens skin. - Strengthens and refines the contours of the face; skin regains firmness and suppleness. - Make-up looks exceptionally radiant. My first thoughts on Flash Balm, is the name, which came across as a product that works quickly...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

FLASH!!! Ah - aahhh!

Advantages: Does what it is supposed to
Disadvantages: High refill costs

...the batteries as the mop, once assembled, has a swivel cleaning head with an abrasive part on the top, and a button to press to spray the cleaning solution onto the floor. The handle is made of a light-weight metal that is quite easily assembled - once put together you can't take it apart again to store - and has a hook at the top to hang up the mop when not in use. You get a "user guide" too which tells you everything you need to know about using this item. As a set I think it was quite good value at £8.00, £19.99 would have been quite a lot in my opinon. The pads and bottle do have to be replaced with the branded flash products and so this is a hidden upkeep cost of this item in a sense - the bottles retail at £3.00 for 1 litre of product, and the pads are 6 for about the same price. Using the mop: Once you have got past the feeling...

Review of Flash Power Mop

A Flash in the Pan

Advantages: Good period detail.
Disadvantages: A tedious treatment of an underdog story.

...the worst is that it is unutterably dull. It plays out like a staid triumph-of-the-underdog made-for-television movie. This is largely because of the way it has been shot. Visually the film is unappealing. The film stock is grubby, so the production looks cheap and despite an abundance of period detail, it?s hard to shake the feeling that the project had a shoestring budget. The colours frequently look washed out and this isn?t helped by a palette of greys, beiges and browns that adds to the overweening blandness of the film. The use of naturalistic lighting, particularly fluorescent lights further drain the colours, so the whole world of the film looks grey. Debut director Marc Abraham?s inexperience shows in virtually every frame; his biggest mistake comes in introducing the invention too early, before we?ve had a chance to get to know...

Review of Flash Of Genius (DVD)

Better skin in a Flash

Advantages: Helps reduce fine lines and blotchyness - protects your skin from makeup clogging pores
Disadvantages: Very expensive product for 30mls £24 approx.

...I have read various magazine articles on Clairns Beauty Flash Balm and they all were extolling the virtues of this amazing invention. To be truthful l didnt really know what they were going on about and why this lotion was so amazing! I was feeling flush one day and l thought ld purchase it. Now this product is expensive theres no 2 ways about it - 30mls was approx.£24 - not cheap. The packaging is the usual red and white Clairns trade mark tubing. Plain and simple yet effective. Your money is not going toward flash packaging! I bought my tube on the internet at the island-trading.com web site - but rest assured it is available from all good Clairns counters and stockists. So what exactly does this miracle worker do? It helps revitalise sluggish pasty skin, and it helps in the removal or discolouration and fine lines...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Advantages: Luxury, Feels lovely
Disadvantages: Can irritate some skins

...Rightio, before I start Id just like to point out that the cheapest price advertised with this product on ciao is £22. Thats actually higher that the RRP for this product and I know that is it £16 from wowwoman.com with free p&p. Be careful if you buy more than 1 item from this site thiough as any items you buy from Hong Kong over £18 come with an £8 customs charge. **************************** I got my Beauty Flash Balm, or Baume Beaute Eclair as it is also known, from wow woman after seeing it in endless magazines and such for years and years. For some reason I have always been mental about beauty products and since I was about 7 Ive been making a mental list of all the things I want. Whwn I got my first student loan a couple of years ago I embarked on a massive beauty splurge and have spent unspeakable amounts of cash on things...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Flash

Advantages: Good Value Product
Disadvantages: None

...This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most products of this type, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It's a great device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. After using this product for a few months I have not so far come up against any reliability issues but only time will tell. I therefore would recommend the product. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need. features: 256 MB CompactFlash Write Speed: 20x (3MB Per Sec) Dimensions: 36.4mm x 42.8mm x 3.3mm...
