Frownies - stop those frown lines

Advantages: Does lessen deep creases
Disadvantages: can't use on all creases

...about 4" across and 1" deep. They are in a plastic bag with some basic instructions stuck together in a rectangle shape divided into 4 triangles that tear apart. Very strange things and such a simple idea. In the pack you get 144 of these triangles.They remind me of extra strong packaging tape. They sound very glamorous don't they? WHAT DO I DO WITH THEM? They are not creams so what do these bits of packaging tape do and how? You tear off your triangle of stiff paper/card with sticky gum on the back. You wet the gummy side and press it over your wrinkles. I use mine between my eyes at the top of my nose where I had a deep crease. You could use more across your forehead and there are different shaped ones for the 'laughter' lines either side of your mouth. Anyway they take a bit of getting used to. You obviously only wear them...

Review of Frownies Forehead & Eyes

Tom Hanks and his amazing forehead

Advantages: Solid three hour's worth...
Disadvantages: Not exactly ground-breaking, is it?

...Why can't Tom Hanks play a killer once in a while? Henry Fonda did it in Once Upon A Time in the West, to brilliant effect. I'm sick of looking at Tom Hanks' smiley head, with his massive cliff face forehead, with that mad-looking hair perched on top. The James Stewart of the Nineties is essentially the same character in every movie - so we've had Mr. Smith Goes to the Moon, Mr. Smith Gets AIDS, Mr. Smith is Sleepless in Seattle, and Mr. Smith Goes to War. Now, in Darabont's OTHER prison based epic, its Mr. Smith Cooks Some Crooks (But in a good natured way) The story concerns John Coffey, a simpleton miracle-worker who is condemned to death after apparently murdering two little girls. His presence on Nice Guy Hanks' death row causes some weird things to happen - he uses his magic powers to cure Emsworth's urinary infection...

Review of The Green Mile (DVD)

Do you want a crazy coloured forehead

Advantages: There aren't any
Disadvantages: It dyes your face!

...When I found Crazy Colour in a branch of Sally I got excited. I love dying my hair weird and wonderful colours, and this was just what I needed! I've used B-Funky colour before, but got tired of its limited range. Crazy color sat on the shelf before me with over 20 shades, and I had to buy! I bleached my shoulder length hair so it was light enough to take the semi-permanent colour, then applied Crazy colour to my new light hair. After 30 minutes, and after following the instructions EXACTLY, I emerged from the shower with washed out looking pink streaky hair, and a bright pink face, hands neck, you name it. The colour had taken to everywhere EXCEPT my hair! When Id used BFunky before I used to get a little on my forehead and was able to clean that off, but this was a nightmare! I'd never touch Crazy Colour ever again!...

Review of Britannia - Mail order

No one should go without Radiant Touch!

Advantages: Lightens and evens out skin tone, glamorous packaging
Disadvantages: Expensive, can become smelly

...I find this a really great product. However, if you have spots you might want to use an additional cover stick. I have got some spots which it doesn't really cover but it works really well as a concealer of uneven skintone, dark circles under you eyes and general small blemishes. I even use it around my nose and my mouth to even out my skin tone and highlights shadows to make them appear reduced. I don't use foundation anymore as I find that this product replaces it perfectly in areas such as the t-zone (nose, chin and forehead). Minus is the price (although you can buy it relatively cheap online) and the fact that after using it for a long time it might get a bit smelly. But this is still is such a great product (and the packaging is not bad either) and I'm definately an addict!...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)

Oooh; Shiny; but then it fades

Advantages: Wide range of colours to choose from; adds shine; easy to apply
Disadvantages: Strong smell; can get messy; semi

...so you can see if you are doing it. You are warned of possible allergic reactions. "Easily applied"; You are provided with gloves so you don't get it on the skin; the gloves are not too small nor to big; which is good as it is less likely to get in. You have to mix to things together (one of which smells bad; and strong) but all you have to do is pour one into the other so no mess is made. You just need to wet your hair and then distribute the dye evenly; which is made easy with the comb like dispenser. It can be hard to keep it off of your skin though; so once it had dryed i ended up with splotches of dye on my ears; forehead etc; but comes off in about 2 days. You dont have to spend ages waiting for the dye to do what it does; and then you wash it out and add the shine conditioner which smells nice. "Fades"; This is NOT a permanent...

Review of L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss

Simple and effective hair dye - Definitely reccommended

Advantages: Easy to apply, clear instructions, sleek/shiny/accurate hair colour, cost-effective
Disadvantages: Skin test rubs off really easily, so could be inaccurate results.

...slathered over my hair and massaged more before going to wait the reccommended 25 minutes. 25 minutes over. I pull the gloves gingerly back on, and start to wash it out my hair. I thought I might have stained the showerhead/bath permanently at first, but it washes off with ease. After ensuring all of the dye was out of my head, I applied the nutrishine conditioner, which had a pleasant - but quite strong - smell to it. Then washed this out also. Then, I gathered all that came with it into the box, and dumped it in the wheelie bin! I'm quite proud to say it was the first time I've dyed my hair. Although while applying it I got some on my neck, the most of it washed off, and I managed not to get any on my forehead or ears. It also hasn't stained any surfaces (except my towl and t-shirt of course!) So I reccommend you wear old clothes that you...

Review of L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss

Dermalogica Anti-Bac Skin Wash

Advantages: felt quite nice upon application
Disadvantages: severely dries skin out (and has a very high price tag)

...I owned this product a good couple of years ago when I had relatively bad skin and was prone to breakouts. It was recommended to me by many people, and despite the high pricetag I assumed on the strength of the recommendations it would be worth it to clear up my skin. Obviously, different face washes affect people's skin in different ways, but once I started using this face wash I found it gave me horrendously dry skin. Before using the face wash my skin had been oily, and using this wash really made my skin go completely the other way and I had quite severe dry patches on my forehead, and at the sides of my face (near the hairline by my ears). I find this face wash very harsh on the skin, and although obviously a lot of people find it very effective I would just like to add a potential warning that it can severely dehydrate your...

Review of Dermalogica Anti-Bac Skin Wash

Freederm Gel - life saver

Advantages: effective, smells nice, easy to apply, little goes a long way
Disadvantages: not really great applied under foundation as it dries the make up unless you use with moisturiser

...After years of trying different products to cure my acne problems which usually pop up near my monthly cycle or when I'm stressed in big sore spots on my chin or forehead I came across freederm gel in Boots at around £8.95. I was a little vary about the price due to size of the tube but you must have heard the saying a little goes a long long way, well that can definitely be said about this product. All you need is a pea size to be rubbed into the face morning & night after cleansing. When I first started using Freederm gel I ended up with even more spots than I began with and was about to stop using the product after speaking to the pharmacy but something kept telling me to carry on using the product a bit longer and now 6 months down the line my face is completely free off acne apart from the occasional outbreak which disappears...
