Fresh Faced.

Advantages: Reasonably priced, vegan, good for problem skin, lasts well.
Disadvantages: The smell but only slightly, can be drying, storage.

...receiving. I do still exfoliate once a week though. Where FF is soap based it does leave my skin feeling a little tight but not like if I used regular soap, only slightly. I do find this a little drying though. My skin is combination, I have some oily patches, some normal patches and some dry patches so it is hard to find products that are just right all over my face. I am not finding it that drying that I would stop using it. I am finding my dry areas are staying dry is all, that would mean that those with dry skin would probably find this unsuitable for their skin unless they were using it in conjunction with a very good moisturiser. After washing my face (or using any cleanser) I always tone my skin as it takes away any last traces of dirt, makeup or cleanser that have been left behind. At the moment I am using Breath Of Fresh Air...

Review of Lush Fresh Farmacy

Minty Fresh Faces

Advantages: A face mask for oily skin that really works
Disadvantages: Hard to get out of tube

...I first heard of this product being raved about by the girls on the handbag discussion groups. Everybody liked it & recommended it so I had to try it for myself. It was a long time since I'd used a face mask which worked on my skin so I was keen to find something good. I bought my tube online and it cost £4.99. This was fab as the tube had 33% extra free which gave me 226.8g of product. The packaging is nothing fancy, but fitting of the price. It comes in a white tube with green & red writing & a green lid. It claims to: • Help dry up acne pimples • Rinses away blackheads • Helps shrink large pores The actual mask is a toothpaste green colour. It smells and looks so much like toothpaste, you could be forgiven for thinking it was! It has a really thick paste-like texture which makes it very difficult to squeeze...

Review of Queen Helene Mint Julep Face Mask

Get your oats!

Advantages: smells nice, leaves skin soft
Disadvantages: short shelf life

...Oatifix is a product I got last month as part of one of the special offer 'Fresher's boxes' that Lush brought out. Although I haven't been going to Lush very often recently, I still have a little 'wish list' of Lush products I want to try and Oatifix was right at the top. The reason I wanted to try this one so much was the claim on the Lush website that it can reduce redness. I have quite rosy skin on my cheeks and I'm always looking for ways to calm it down and although I've never really found anything that works, I constantly live in hope! Oatifix is a fresh face mask and needs to be kept in the fridge as it has a very short shelf life and can go off quickly. I'd tried Lush's Mask of Magnaminty, but never any of the fresh face masks, so I wasn't really sure what to expect from Oatifix. The mask contains fine oatmeal...

Review of Lush Oatifix Fresh Face Mask

FRESH AND FUN?

Advantages: nice enough sandwiches, healthy, part of meal deal, fresh, variety
Disadvantages: not overly great, expensive, unappealing packaing, availibility

...Normally when I go into boots, I?m in there for one of their meal deals where you can get a sandwich, a drink, and a side such as a chocolate bar, crisps, fruit or a cereal bar for a smashing £2.99. Usually I?ll opt for one of Boot?s own wraps or sandwiches however on a couple of occasions I have been tempted by something else sitting on the shelf, and these come in the form of Fresh Organic Sandwiches. ?Fresh Organics? (FO) produce a wide range of products including sandwiches, wraps, toasties, salads and rolls. In Boots, there are always sandwiches and wraps, usually salads and occasionally yoghurts and rolls however I have only ever seen the latter in one boots and that was a large one in London. The sandwiches are always in the food section, alongside the other sandwiches which are in the fridge. The FO sandwiches are normally...

Keeping Fresh

Advantages: Good smell.
Disadvantages: Doesn't last a full 24 hours.

...I received a 35ml aerosol version of this deodorant in a goodie bag some time ago whilst participating in the ?Race for Life?. - Price - The aerosol version of this anti-perspirant is quite a bit cheaper than the roll on. Current prices at Boots are: 150ml aerosol - £2.40 (£1.60 per 100ml) 50ml roll-on - £2.30 ( £4.60 per 100ml) - What does it promise? - ~ 24 hour confidence. ~ Anti-perspirant protection. ~ Gentle Nivea care. ~ Contains lemongrass for energising freshness. - The difference between an anti-perspirant and a deodorant - A deodorant simply masks body odours with fragrances whereas an anti-perspirant works by reducing the amount of perspiration produced, resulting in a reduction of BO. This by ?name? should fit in to the latter definition. - My experience - I have to point out that in terms...

Review of Nivea Energy Fresh Spray

Stay Fresh with Active Fresh

Advantages: Keeps you dry and fresh
Disadvantages: None really!

...work shirt on. Whilst no white marks were left I did notice a clear mark across the front of my shirt - how on earth it got there I have no idea! These marks were easily removed with a face wipe, so there were no problems on that front. Now obviously the most important thing is did it keep me dry and sweat free? I wouldn?t describe myself as a particularly sweaty person, but as I am often quite active at work I do get very worried about ?beefing up?. I was really impressed at how well this deodorant worked. For me it was tested in the perfect conditions. I work in retail and we had a really busy day at work with deliveries and new Christmas stock coming in, after five hours of being on the go I still felt and smelt very fresh. So the conclusion would be that yes it does work. It passed the test on sensitivity and it also kept me...

Review of Vaseline Active Fresh Spray

Fresh face at 42

Advantages: Makes lines less noticable
Disadvantages: none

.... Sad fact I know. I cannot afford Plastic surgery, and to tell you the truth I would be to frightened. So the next best thing is creams and potions. This cream comes in a white box with a picture of the tube of synergie on the front. On the back is a picture of part of a fresh looking face. On opening the box I find a six inch bright orange tube with a white lid. I say to myself hell I’ve paid £8.99 for this 40 ml cream (from Boots) the tube is so small I’ll use it all in 3 applications. I was wrong you only need the size a pea sized portion both morning and night for it to work. Properly. When you first put it on your face it feels cool and refreshing. It is not a heavy cream it is very light and so it blends in perfectly. I cannot describe the smell properly but, to me it has got kind of a fruity orangey smell...

Review of Garnier Synergie Stop Anti-Ageing Daily Moisturiser

Face fresh

Advantages: soft skin, cleanser, no spots!
Disadvantages: none!

...tree oil you can see that it has already started to fade and become smaller. By the next day it has usually completely disappeared!! For little over £2 i can highly recommend this product to people for use whether they have any spots or not because even if you dont have any, the oil keeps it that way! The oil has a soothing effect on your skin and is very gentle. It exfoliates and deep cleanses your skin leaving it soft and feeling very clean. It gives you that extra bit of confidence in yourself to be able to actually feel that your skin is clean without having to look in the mirror. The oil doesnt sting at all like some rival cleansing brands do, it smoothens and cleanses. The body shop also do a tea tree oil refreshing spray that you spray onto your face but i dont tend to use this as the first time i did it irritated my skin...

Review of The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Facial Wash

Scrummy Mask!

Advantages: Super-soft skin, smells yummy
Disadvantages: None

...I visited my local Lush branch last week in search of a fresh face mask to sort out my tired looking skin. I do use their products fairly regularly, but it had been some weeks since I'd used a fresh mask and my face felt like it could do with a treat. I went towards the end of the day and was pleasantly surprised that they still had a full range of fresh masks, although this did make my job of deciding which one to take home a little more difficult! The lady working there suggested trying their most recent conconction -oatifix. She said it was deeply moisturising and particularly suited to dry and sensitive skin. For those of you who haven't tried Lush's range of Fresh Face masks - these are made with fresh ingredients (which can often be found in your kitchen) and contain no preservatives. For this reason they need to be kept in...

Review of Lush Oatifix Fresh Face Mask

The Face of Evil

Advantages: A big read with lots of action
Disadvantages: A few minor niggles.

...My apologies to those that are fed up of Dean Koontz reviews but having read "The Face" I thought I'd add my review to those that have already been written. If I duplicate any of the thoughts or parts of the story then consider it as flattery as sometimes you just can't improve on what has already been written. I haven't been well lately so it's given me a lot of time for reading and Koontz is my type of escapism. The Plot ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Picture a large mansion in acres of ground set in California, a mansion that was built for a film mogul in the years of the great depression but now home to the biggest star in Hollywood, one Channing Manhiem known as "The Face" for his popularity and good looks. Now look at his only son a spindly lad of ten years old dubbed with the name of Aelfric by his mother who got out of the marriage...
