Advantages: Warm production job, pounding aggression with soaring choruses, very diverse
Disadvantages: Short tracks = Short album, I want more....

...who don't know, Phil Labonte used to be the 'Shadows Fall' frontman, he is without a doubt better than his replacement Brian Fair. 'All That Remains' were formed shortly after Phil's departure from 'Shadows Fall'. I am unsure just how he was ousted, whether the band threw him out, or he left of his own accord. But the main thing is, we've got this band and they are far better than 'Shadows Fall' are and possibly will ever be. That's despite the popularity that now unfortunatly surround's Phil's former group. The technicality on show is almost unrivalled with 'Iron Maiden'-like dual guitar harmonies, pounding tight drums, and a great abundance of maintained and focused energy that flows throughout 'The Fall of Ideals'. Couple these with with Phil Labonte's amazing vocals that swing from Matt Bruso (Bury Your Dead vocalist) esque... Read review

Advantages: Easy to apply
Disadvantages: Doesn't last the eight hours as it says.

...Last year I got married abroad and had to do my make up for the big day myself. Browsing around the shelves of my local Chemist I was spoilt for choice and decided just to choose a foundation that was quite expensive but not over the top. I chose the Loreal Ideal balance but before I purchased it I made sure that the colours were suitable for my pale skin. Luckily the Light Beige colour was perfect for my skin and I bought the product straight away. Testing the product before my wedding I found it very easy to apply. The bottle is small enough to hold and easily squeeze the foundation out onto your hand before application. Then when putting it onto my skin it glided easily. and looked nice and matte as it should. It is not very good at covering blemishes and seems to leave an almost translucant look unless you cake it on... Read review

Advantages: Glides easily onto skin, smoothes out skin, blends easily
Disadvantages: not waterproof, comes off too easily

...I love high street make-up. It is cheap and cheerful yet still fantastic quality. I first began using Maybelline Wonder Finish and i loved this foundation. But i am a make-up slut and will try anything new. I saw the advertisement on the television about Dream Matte Mousse. It was this wonderful new creation that i just had to try. I rushed out to Boots and tested all the testers before finally finding the shade that matched my skintone. I rushed off back home. Cleansed, toned and moisturised and began living the dream......or was it? I carefully opened the packaging (yes i was impressed by this as i adore little jars and things i can dip my fingers into!) and took a deep breath. I smoothed my fingers over the top of the product and closed my eyes. I then began gliding the cool, smooth foundation over my skin. I opened my eyes... Read review

Advantages: Smooth application, easily blended, good coverage, lasts for ages
Disadvantages: Doesn't stay matte for long, comes off easily, not waterproof

...I was very excited when I saw the advert for Dream Matte Mousse when it first came out, I tend to go shiny without a lot of powder and a foundation that offered complete matte coverage was a Godsend. It comes in a sleek, 18ml pot - which at first glance does seem quite small for it's price (£6.99). However, I have used this foundation for about a year and have only used two pots. The design is fairly compact and stylish and is small enough to be slipped into your handbag. The packaging's only disapointment is that the glass makes it quite heavy. The foundation comes in eight different shades: Ivory (palest) Cameo Sand Nude Fawn Sun Beige Caramel Cocoa (darkest) All these shades are quite natural, which makes a change from the tangerine tones you see everywhere, so there's something for everyone. I chose the Ivory... Read review

Advantages: doesnt make my skin greasy, no transfer, great texture, nice smell
Disadvantages: coverage not enough

...I saw this mousse foundation advertised on television and was captured by the 16 hour claim of staying put on your face so I thought I would give it a test and so get some. What is it? Rimmel have created a new foundation that is of a mousse texture. The idea is not exactly a new one though. Maybelline has its Dream Matte Mousse Foundation which has been about for some time now and Avon has its own too. This foundation is aimed at people who want a matte appearance and to help them create a shine free look all day. It is probably not a good product for people who have dry skin because with its mattifying benefits, it will probably dry the skin out a lot more. There are far better products out there for people with dry skin. Rimmel's claims From the Rimmel London web site: "Skin Cooler - 16H Anti... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant Worship Music with meaning behind the lyrics.
Disadvantages: None

...This CD is brilliant. Every song is quality. All the songs have been recorded live from his US tour. Below is a review of all the tracks: 1 - Blessed Be Your Name - Great track. Won a Dove Award in America for Best Song. 5/5 2 - Holy Moment - A worship track praising God. 3.5/5 3 - Once Again - Beautiful song which really sticks in your mind. Unfortunately, in my opinion, there is better versions of this song on other Matt Redman CD's because it is quite quick on this album. But it is still very decent. 4/5 4 - Heart Of Worship - This is what Matt is all about, he has the heart of worship and really tries to spread that to others and he is succeeding. He may not be the best singer or guitarist but he has the heart of worship which many Christian bands/singers miss and that is what makes him so good. Brilliant... Read review

Advantages: Glides on smoothly, Doesn't go cakey
Disadvantages: A no-go for dry skin, Doesn't last a long time

... Appearance The maybelline dream matte mousse foundation comes in a small, round glass pot, with a plastic lid coloured different depending on the foundation shade. The pot isnt as big as it looks as the glass is very thick. The lid is circular with an arch shaped curve going across diagonally and it fetures the maybelline logo, dream matte mosse logo and the shade of the foundation. Foundation The foundation itself is very light and whippy. It really is a mousse and feels very light when on, unlike some foundations which can end up feeling very heavy. It comes in 11 different shades catering for very pale to dark skin. One problem is that it isnt waterproof, and that it doesnt last long at all. You will have to carry it around with you and reapply it every fer hours. It is not at all cakey and applies very evenly... Read review

Advantages: Very good foundation, makes your skin look very smooth
Disadvantages: comes in quite small pots

...This foundation comes in many different colours and is absolutley lush!! It is everything it says on the adverts, and when used properly gives a very nice result of smooth matte skin (hence the name, matte mousse!!) The foundation has a light and bubbly texture, and you can hardly feel it when your wearing it! A perfect foundation if you are going for the natural look as if the right colour is used, it doesnt make you look orange! The foundation is also non scented, and VERY easy to use, almost impossible to get it uneven and miss a spot on your face. You simply dip your finger in the pot take as much as you need and rub it in, no hassle. Very handy for if your are in a rush. Dream matte mousse, is also very good for a base coat of foundation, as it enables you to have the perfect canvas to work on!! At £5.49 i think it is very well... Read review

Advantages: Easy, low cost online share trading.
Disadvantages: None discovered to date

...Are you prepared to buy and sell shares yourself? Are you prepared to invest in your opinion, not someone else's? Do you want a Stocks & Share ISA without all those nasty charges? ....then idealing may just be ideal for you!! (www.idealing.com.) I was doing some research recently on how I could put my little portfolio of shares into an ISA so that the tax man couldn’t get at my profits (if its possible to make any in this market!) The fruits of my research led me to idealing.com. This is an online broker where you can buy or sell shares for only £10 per trade. Now you can also name the price you want to buy and sell at and they will do the rest for you for only another £2.50 per trade!
