Chanel Vitalumiere Fluid MakeUp Foundation - my review

Advantages: Light reflective, silky, blendable, moisturising and radiance boosting
Disadvantages: Staying power not great

...This is a radiance boosting, anti fatigue, light reflecting foundation containing SFP 15 Protection, moisturisers and micro circulation boosting brown seaweed. It can be applied in layers to build up a high coverage and at the same time always gives a 'no make-up' invisable finish, I should also add that this gives its coverage by reflecting light therefor one light layer alone makes a beautiful difference to the look of your skin. Its really versatile to use and you can really play around with it without it becoming cakey. It smells pleasant and feels silky to the touch, feels comforting on the skin and the finish is youthful, smooth and healthy looking. It also works wonders around the eyes, no creasing or cakeing and it goes on nicely over dry patches, fine lines and noticably moisturises which is a life saver! The only down side to...

Review of Chanel Vitalumiere Fluide Makeup

Neat gear from Netgear

Advantages: Cheap, Easy to configure
Disadvantages: SFP GBIC ports are shared with copper ports, loud fan.

...I haven't found a cheaper 16 port Gigabit Ethernet switch than this Netgear. This 19" rack or desk mountable switch has 16 copper ports and two SFP GBIC ports. The GBIC ports are shared with copper ports 15 & 16 - so you get to use either or, not both, which is a bit of a shame - but they do say it is a 16 port switch after all... They have at least given you the option of adding either short or long range fibre capability to the switch. The switch will work out of the box as if it were unmanaged, but then you'd be missing the point... The switch is manageable via its built in web server, which provides an easy to use interface to all the common functions you would expect - 802.11Q VLAN tagging, Quality of Service, Jumbo frame support, 802.3ad link aggregation. You can upgrade the firmware using the web interface too, keeping...

Review of NETGEAR ProSafe GS716T - switch - 16 ports

Buyers be aware..

Advantages: they have shops everywhere
Disadvantages: Rip-off prices, poor advice, poor customer services

...Buyers beware... don't be ripped off by Phone4u. Phone4u Epsom branch for a 3 HUAWEI mobile broadband USB stick- quoted me £79.99. I knew '3' shops and online sold them USB mobile broadband sticks for £50 and queried the diffence in price. The shop assistant convinced me that the two models were different and the one they were providing was a later model that provided higher-speed broadband. Stupidly, I trusted Phones4u's shop assistant and went ahead with the purchase. A few days later I found out that they had actually lied to me. The model that they sold me for £79.99 was actually available for £49.99 in '3' shops - a full £30 more (60% more!!). I queried the shop and they refused to take back the item or refund the difference - I had made the request just 4 days after the purchase. (The modem was still intact...

Review of phone4u.co.uk

Even Skin Tone with a Matte Finish All Day Long.

Advantages: Leaves the skin looking good all day
Disadvantages: Didn't hydrate all day long

..., environmental protection with beautiful sheer colour and SFP of 15". This tinted moisturiser is available in a 50ml shiny gold coloured tube. You can choose from fair or medium depending on your own skin tone. The tube costs £10.28. The moisturiser claims to protect your skin from the sun using a protection factor of 15, it also claims to protect your skin from daily environmental damage from pollution with a patented multi-antioxidant and it should help your skin to stay hydrated all day long. What I Thought About The Product Applying this product was easy, just like any other moisturiser. I didn't need much, just a small amount squeezed onto my fingertips. The tinted moisturiser smoothed easily and evenly over my face giving my skin an even tone. I liked the feeling of the tinted moisturiser on my skin, it felt light still allowing my...

Review of Boots No.7 Dual Protection Tinted Moisturiser

Sunny Protection

Advantages: Easy to apply. Convenient
Disadvantages: Expensive

.... Sunnies are wipes which are impregnated with sun screen. They come in bright yellow packaging of the same style as a pack of baby wipes. Each pack contains 30 wipes which is equivalent to 110 ml of suntan lotion. The lotion has a SFP factor of 30, offers UVA and UVB protection and is also water resistant. The wipes also contain Vitamin E and Provitamin B5 to keep skin soft and smooth. CONVENIENCE ****************** The wipes are very easy to store and fit easily into a handbag (and my daughters school reading folder). They are much more portable and convenient than a bottle of sun cream. USE ***** One wipe contained enough suncream to cover my daughters arms, legs and face. She found the wipes incredibly easy and fast to apply, with no mess. The wipes do leave a slight white colour on the skin which is helpful to show where...

Review of Pampers Sunnies

My new lip essential!

Advantages: Lovely smell, works brilliantly!
Disadvantages: Dull packaging may put you off at first glance.

...and refreshed. As a wind instrument player, I often find my lips aching and in need of some serious TLC after a long playing session. After a quick sweep of Carmex my lips were quickly cooled and soothed, a lot more effectively than with my normal lip balm. If you're interested then I would advise you to check out their website www.carma-labs.com. It's easy to use and as well as giving you a brief history of Carmex manufacture and a list of products, it has some fun sections like a Carmex quiz and a list of many famous men and women who have been sighted using it (like Carrie from Sex and the City!). according to the site they also make cherry, strawberry and mint versions, though I've never seen these in England, and 'Click Sticks' in all these flavours boasting either SFP 15 or 30 for your lips. Developed in the 1930s when the founder used...

Review of Carmex Lip Balm Pot

My (shiny little) Secret to Flawless Skin

Advantages: Available in lots of shades, good coverage, long lasting
Disadvantages: None (it's not cheap but worth the money)

...'t make the problem worse. I can vouch for the fact it is waterproof, it doesn't budge unless you want it to. I like the fact it has UVA/UVB SPF 25 protection but as I use it on top of foundation that already has an SFP15 (I think) it is not that critical to me. Nice to have though. The Flawless Skin Concealer is available in 9 shades, these are: Level 1 Warm & Cool, Level 2 Warm & Cool, Level 3 Warm & Cool, Level 4 Warm, Level 5 Cool, and Level 6 Warm. Needless to say I have a level 1 Warm, and because they do it in warm and cool shades I do not have the problem of it looking too pink against my yellow toned skin, another common problem I have found. Packaging The product itself is a solid cream and comes in a silver tin that could pass for an eyeshadow pot. The shiny metallic tin is about 5cm in diameter and the lid has 5 grooves...

Review of Prescriptives Flawless Skin Concealer

Cor Blimey, This ROC's!!!

Advantages: Amazing fast results and beautiful skin
Disadvantages: None

.... Week 2, day 1 (Tuesday): Wow! I cannot believe the improvement in just 4 sessions of use. I can't wait to see what my skin will look like after 4 weeks. My Skin is definately more youthful looking. However. On the downside I have noticed a few bits of dry skin on my nose. I put this down to my part though, as I have been a bit slack with the moisturiser. It does state to moisturise with a SFP Moisturiser everyday between usuage of kit (Which some days I have not). Week 2, day 2 (Thursday): I have now noticed after this session that my lines around my eyes have been smoothed out, almost completely. So now when I smile - No more crowsfeet lines. Fantastic! Week 2, Day 3 (Sunday): My skin is definately tighter and more youthful looking. My pores also appear smaller and blackheads gone! After the second week my skin looks...
