Jasmine

Advantages: smell beautiful
Disadvantages: need trained

...The jasmines are renowned for the strong fragrance of the flowers of many species, although the winter jasmine, so often grows as a winter-flowering, hardy climber, has yellow flowers which are scentless. Jasminium officinale is the most well known and most often grown. Its white flowers appear from early summer right through to autumn, on a plant which can climb to 10 feet and which is hardy in sheltered gardens. Jasminium polyanthum flowers from mid winter onwards, and its pink flowers are deliciously scented, The jasmines are not truly evergreen, although they may not drop all their leaves when grown in the home. This plant needs protection all year round. when grown in the garden. They grow very fast, and need plenty of space and supports, they also need as much light as possible all year round. Temperatures need not be...

Review of Jasmine

Blowing through the JASMIN of my mind

Advantages: Great location, lovely, friendly hotel
Disadvantages: None

...After a long, and I mean LONG, drive through Serbia, we eventually arrived in the outskirts of Sofia just as darkness began to descend. A bit of a blessing really, Picturesque it ain't. Our hotel was just off the ring road...bit of a misnomer really. Oh, it rings the city true enough, but road seems like a far-fetched description of the pot-holed suicide-run we found ourselves bumping and grinding along on. Not a problem. We had prebooked the Jasmin Hotel and all we had to do was follow the instructions I had printed off with the booking confirmation...only I hadn't. After several abortive forays off the 'ring road', things were looking pretty desperate but at last we got the right turn-off and found our digs. Good job really or this review would be stopping right about now. Each road we had previously tried seem to plunge us into...

Review of Jasmin, Sofia

Rubies and Jasmine

Advantages: Nice smell, concentrated
Disadvantages: None

...I am concentrating this review however on the Ruby Jasmine fragrance. I had been using the Black Diamond and Lotus flower but I found the smell was a bit too overpowering for me so I decided to try another variety. The bottle was packaged amazingly and did look really nice. You could tell it was Lenor as the name was written on it and it did look a bit like their other products but I would say the bottle was designed more like an upmarket perfume bottle. The Ruby Jasmine bottle has a lovely picture of what I assume to be a white jasmine flower on the front with a lovely big ruby next to it sparkling away! The bottle was a gorgeous ruby red colour and an almost jewel looking colour to it. The tag line of this softener says it is meant to be elegant and sophisticated. Well, going by the bottle, this was definitely true to start with...

Review of Lenor Infusions Ruby Jasmine

Eight Hour Cream

Advantages: Only need to use a tiny amount so lasts for years!
Disadvantages: None

...This cream comes in a tube and initially seems quite expensive (when I bought my last tube it cost £17). It states that it is for use on chapped or weather burned skin ? basically for use anywhere on the body. It is a brilliant lip salve ? it may seem expensive but I can?t remember the last time I bought a tube ? it must be at least 2 years ago. The cream never goes off and lasts for ages as you only need to use the tiniest amount each time. Another thing it is very good for is when you have a sore red nose during a cold. It soothes and fixes dry skin extremely quickly and in my mind is great value for money....

INFUSED WITH RUBY JASMINE

Advantages: smells nice, softens clothes
Disadvantages: none really

...♥♥ Lenor Infusions ♥♥ Ruby Jasmine ♥♥ I love fabric softeners and I always add some to each and every wash I do; simply because I like the added softness on my clothes and the fact that the fabric softeners fragrance the clothes too. I usually do two or three separate washes per day, which is understandable considering there are three kids and two adults in our house hold, not to mention 2 dogs and 2 cats who are just as messy as the kids. On average I could easily polish off 2 full bottles of fabric softener in 10 days or so, I like to use different fragranced fabric softeners regularly; usually I purchase 2 bottles of fabric softener per week to cope with the massive amounts of washing I tend to do daily. When I go to Tesco's I just pick out two different fragranced fabric softeners, I don...

Review of Lenor Infusions Ruby Jasmine

Lenor Infusions Ruby and Jasmine

Advantages: A super soft and exotically fragranced conditioner
Disadvantages: none..

...Ruby jasmine,what a seductive name for a laundry product,the bottle has that certain something about it too ! A rich ruby red bottle with Jasmine and a ruby flirting on the front. Apparently Lenor didn't only team up with the perfumier Rojo Dove but they also teamed up with Cosmopolitan magazine for the launch of their new infusions range. They asked the readers what they thought of the fragrance and 93% said they would recommend it to a friend. . The new range has four very alluring fragrances : Ruby Jasmine- fruity and light floral Sapphire violet- Delicate,romantic and enticing Amethyst rose- cool and serene ,with overt sensuality Black diamond and Lotus flower-very exotic florals and musk I have to say that the line up sounds very adult and top drawer! But the fruity light Ruby Jasmine won the day for me,I popped...

Review of Lenor Infusions Ruby Jasmine

All in one miracle cream!

Advantages: many products in 1, saves money, rubs in easily
Disadvantages: expensive on the high street

...MIRACLE CREAM I started using the Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream because of all the fantastic reviews it had, and I must say it fulfilled all of the expectations I had plus more. It truly is a miracle cream and is affordable. Being the well known brand of Elizabeth Arden you can find it in most department stores and high street stores such as Boots however I would recommend buying it online as you will find it?s a lot cheaper. On the CheapSmells website you can buy a 50ml tube for £11.90, I have seen it not online for prices in excess of £20 so you are definitely better off buying online. You can get the 8 hour face cream in sizes 30ml and 50ml. You can also get the miracle hand cream in 75ml. The cream itself is mainly used as a skin protectant and can help with problems such as dry, flaky skin. But the miracle with this cream is that...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

8hr cream that really sinks in

Advantages: easily absorbed, noticed a difference straight away moisturizing for 8 hrs
Disadvantages: bit pricey depending on where you buy from

...Elizabeth Arden eight hour cream ?intensive body moisturizing treatment. Smooth over body daily? What does it do? The claims of this body cream are to leave the skin soft and luxurious for 8 hours long. They say that it absorbs quickly and deeply giving a very intense moisture saturation. Especially good for and reverses the appearance of dry flaky skin. This cream has won THE BEAUTY INSIDERS AWARDS verdict The 1.7 oz tube that I have is not really that big, and for the amount I used on my dry legs and arms its not going to last that long. On opening the tube I found that the cream is actually very thick, nice though and soothing when rubbing it into my skin. It had a pleasant scent to it but I couldn?t quite put my finger on what it was, maybe citrus lemon. The cream sunk into my skin immediately, and because I...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

Eight Hour Miracle Cream!

Advantages: Heals and Soothes skin.
Disadvantages: Price, can take a while to absorb.

...Before I bought Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream I had read about it in magazines with lots of Celebrities citing it as one of there "Must have" beauty products. As ever my inquisitive nature took over and I decided to invest in a tube to find out what I have been missing. So of I went to my local Debenhams and asked the Beauty Advisor for a tube of this recommended cream. The Cream cost me £18 for a 50ml tube. I know this is also available at other department stores so it may be possible to buy this cheaper. The eight hour cream comes in an off white box with the Elizabeth Arden logo on the front. The actual tube is white in colour with black writing across the front and a screw top lid. Eight Hour Cream was developed by Elizabeth Arden over 70 years ago. Its intended use is to sooth minor skin irritations and calm chapping...

Review of Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream

Korres Jasmine Body Milk - recommended!

Advantages: Makes your skin feel very soft, gorgeous smell
Disadvantages: Difficult to get last of the product out of the bottle when it starts running out

...There are around 10 different Korres Body Milks including the unusual Coriander scent and Spearmint. They all say the same thing on the bottle; "The combination of provitamin B5, Shea butter and Jojoba oil enhances the suppleness of the skin, while also providing long-lasting hydration. Active Aloe®, extremely rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, Zinc and antioxidant enzymes, supports the immune system of the skin." I have tried Jasmine, Vanilla Cinammon, Bitter almond and mint tea, all of which are GORGEOUS, and the reason I have tried four already is because this product is addictively good! The scents are subtle but very much linger with a light perfume. I would recommend any of them purely because they glide on quickly, sink in immediately and leave your skin feeling VERY soft and smooth. I love the pump bottle as it makes them quick...
