Get Even... Get Equal!

Advantages: Better than Concealor & Foundation, Pure & Even Skin Tone in a simple step!
Disadvantages: Once again... you know what I'm gonna say... price!

...inevitably results in buying something. So today?s chosen product for analysis is Benefit?s? (drum roll please)? GET EVEN! The thing that really sold it to me was the title, I?m a bit vindictive at times you see! It claims to ?even out skin tone? and as I?ve been cursed with uneven skin tone (especially when hungover) I felt it was a must have and therefore justified the cost to myself by thinking of my hangover the next day. * Who are behind Benefit? * Two Indiana twins are behind the massive company that today is known as Benefit. Their first make up boutique opened in 1976 ?The Face Place? and since then success has only grown for them. They created what can only be described as a candy store for lovers of make up, with their original products named ?lip plump? and ?ooh la lift? ? guaranteed to raise a smile among everyone! In 1990...

Even Blue Girls Don't Like To Be Shiny

Advantages: Even coverage,staying power
Disadvantages: Cost

...Not only is my skin blue, but it is also shiny! I know, you have a mental picture of a smurf now and maybe you wouldn't be that far wrong. The blue skin is a Scottish thing(see "you rebel" op) and the shiny part is just a fact of life for most of us gals who live in the real world. I am one of those women who dread the lights coming up at the end of the night- no not cos of the choice of my companion!, simply because my carefully placed make-up of six hours ago is making a bid for freedom and has slid its way down my face in a most unattractive way. So,what do I do to avoid looking like a Picasso at the end of the night?, I hear a million desperate women( well,one) cry. Let me tell you about a product from those lifesavers at Benefit (www.benefitcosmetics.com). It is their very effective powder and is called "get even...

Even Better

Advantages: An action packed read
Disadvantages: Some suspension of disbelief required

...have a ??don?t get mad, get even?? philosophy, which is frequently seen as they share a habit for getting themselves unjustly accused of things. Whilst the style and basic idea may be similar, Andrew Grant is the better writer. There are brief flashes at the start of each chapter to Trevellyan?s past, which makes him feel like a far more rounded character than in many novels of this type, which don?t have this. For someone who prefers to work alone, he deals with people quite well, so he feels less mechanical and this allows the reader more sympathy towards him. It also allows for smarter and, on occasion, more amusing dialogue as Trevellyan engages in some verbal sparring with both the F. B. I. agents and the mercenary leader, which is quite good fun. Grant has a great eye for a story, pitching us that little of Trevellyan?s past...

What Odds Would Ned Give Himself in Even Money?

Advantages: It's the latest DICK FRANCIS novel; sensitive portrayal of mental illness
Disadvantages: Poor development of female characters in general

...: Luca Mandini, an internet whizz-kid with a razor-sharp mathematical brain, and Luca's girlfriend Betsy, who is helping to take the bets and payout after each race. . I cannot understand the odds offered, but for those of us who get confused, on a two-page spread just before Chapter I, there is a useful chart of "Bookmaker's odds as used on British racecourses" demonstrating Odds, Fractional odds, and Winnings to £1 stake with down the left hand column a line delineating Odds against (from one hundred-to-one down to eleven-to-ten), EVEN MONEY 1/1 and a second line delineating Odds on (from eleven-to-ten on, through to ten-to-one on, where you would win a paltry 10p for a £1 stake). Down the right-hand column, it indicates that 'one hundred-to-one' would be 'very long' odds; 'twenty-to-one' 'long...

Review of Even Money - Dick Francis

Good Genes? Nah, Good Make-Up!

Advantages: Very good at concealing patchy skin.
Disadvantages: None really, Expensive, but will last months.

...It?s my mate?s Hen Night tomorrow night, and since we?re all wearing funny T-shirts, I didn?t need to spend any cash on a new outfit this week,. As usual when I feel I?ve saved a little bit of money, I head to the Benefit counter in Debenhams, to reward myself. Illogical, I know, but that?s just the way I look at things. Life?s to short to fret over spending copious amounts of money on little boxes of make-up; so I rarely feel guilty. My latest purchase was ?Get Even.? I have oily skin, and I?ve just about run out of my translucent powder, I was looking for a replacement, so after a few minutes hovering around the ?Dior? section, I inevitably gravitated towards Benefit, as I usually do. I must admit that piece-by-piece my make-up collection is being taken over by Benefit. It isn?t quite the same as a translucent powder, but I figured...

Perfection is just a blot away!

Advantages: Fantastic coverage, colour and staying power
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I first tried "Get Even" after my (then) boyfriend bought me a selection of Benefit products last Christmas. I must say, this is now one of my must-have beauty products. I simply could not do without it. The product comes in a basic black circular compact with a mirror and also comes neatly packaged in a cardboard box . The actual powder weighs 11grams but a little goes a long way and just one compact lasts me about 6months. There are only 3 shades of this product, a light, medium and dark. I am mixed race and have an olivey/yellowish skin tone and the medium is just perfect for my skin, I have never found a better match. The consistency of the powder is quite thick and creamy and it goes on like a dream, either with a brush or the sponge provided. I prefer to use a brush as the powder is applied much lighter this way. I apply...

Blot Away Blemishes!

Advantages: Evens out skin tone, Reduces redness and blemishes
Disadvantages: Expensive, As you run out it starts to crumble!

...foundations put together! * Tell me more about this Godsend * Benefit Get Even is as the title suggests, a powder to even out skin tone and give you a finish in just one shade. It reduces any areas of redness to a natural colour as well as disguising other areas ? such as my yellow ish chin! It comes in a somewhat (unusual for Benefit products) black compact with just the Benefit logo on the lid. The compact is placed in a white and beige little bag, totally for decoration and I always end up loosing it or throwing it away! Opening up the compact you?ll find a mirror on the top lid, which aids in quick application when you?ve not got a mirror to hand as well as your typical cushioned, foam type applicator (black on one side, white on the other). There?s very little smell associated with this too. Application is quick and easy, you simply...

Evening Standard : OK

Advantages: Good coverage of London. Financial information.
Disadvantages: Bland. Lack of coverage of international affairs

...The Evening Standard is the only major tabloid evening newspaper for London,which is rather surprising for a world class city the size of London. Currently it sells at 35 pence and is reasonable value for money. It is has quite good coverage of London including restaurant reviews and coverage of the Premier and Nationwide Soccer league teams in the capital. The Evening Standard also provides financial information including stocks and shares. The paper also has sections on jobs,holidays and entertainment. It is a bit thin on coverage of international affairs,it is really more oriented to London and the UK,rather than the world at large. I do not regard this paper as a good buy if you are looking for penetrating,investigative,type journalism but it is OK as regardsd news about London.It is a popular newspaper among evening commuters...
