more of a blessing than a bain...

Advantages: smells great, no build up, medicinal, lasts for ages
Disadvantages: a bit pricey

...Kerastase Bain de force is a high quality shampoo that leaves hair feeling soft, silky and utterly pampered. It is a medicinal shampoo that actually improves the health of your hair over time and increases its voluptuousness as well as its strength and general appearance. After torturing my hair for years with other high street shampoos that just left hideous buid-up and then stopped working, I finally became a salon convert following a sample I was given at a salon, and have never regretted it. Salon shampoos are infinitely superior to off the shelf types and kerastase supply some of the best shampoos I have ever tried. Yes they are a bit pricey but I do believe that in this case you get what you pay for. If you've got coloured hair try the mirror bain...it's fab. I am now a convert...All hail......

Review of Kerastase Bain De Force (Strengthening Hair Bath)

le cercle rouge

Advantages: Read Opp
Disadvantages: Read Opp

...le cercle rouge Directed by Jean-Pierre Melville, this film is similar to his previous film Le Samourai, in that there are good guys and bad, and there are the cops and robbers. The translation of the title meaning the Red Circle was based upon a Buddhist motto about those people who are destined to meet, eventually will. In this film the types of scenes included are an escaping prisoner, murder scene, police man-hunt, mob battles and an armed robbery to steal diamonds. The film starts off showing a German named train running through I would guess Paris. Though scene by scene the actors performances and directions really smartly executed and cool to watch. Corey, who has just been released from prison on good behaviour notice from the police, is given a job to do by a Prison Guard. Inspector Bourvil is escorting...

Review of Le Cercle Rouge (DVD)

Le Samourai

Advantages: Great Film
Disadvantages: Viewing Aspect ratio is Low

...Le Samourai There is a small bird in a cage in a dull looking apartment room, a man wearing a trench coat and a felt hat, and he goes out of the room and adjusts his hat. Jeff Costello (Alain Delone) then jumps into a car, with a set of master keys. He starts the car, and smokes a cigarette. Eventually he finds the right key by good luck and drives off. He then meets a criminal mechanic. The mechanic gives Jeff some cash, later goes to his pocket and gives him a gun. Here during this scene not a word is spoken. This film is low on dialogue though maintains a great sense of direction, pace and focus throughout. The suspense of each scene and the plot is amazing to watch. He then goes to a flat and meets a young woman who is named Jane (Anthoine Delone). She is a woman who is there to provide an alibi for Jeff. It does not...

Kerastase Specifique Bain Gommage Cheveux Gras

Advantages: Totally works. See below.
Disadvantages: Availability. See below.

...get this done professionally in the salon) and washed my hair with Kerastase Specifique Bain Gommage (Cheveux Gras). This seems to be unavailable in the UK but can be ordered from www.hairloss-hair.co.uk and it's cheaper as well for this product and all Kerastase products but delivery charges will be incurred. After that she also used Fluide Purifiante (shoud last for 3 months) to treat the scalp. This is not recommended for sensitive scalp as it is quite a strong product that strips the flakes off the scalp hence only recommended for 3 months use. But results are instantaneous. To use the shampoo: It is thick and white and a little goes a long way. It's floral scented perfume but not overpowering and absolutely gorgeous. Wet hair, lather and massage into scalp. The lather will not remain for too long after a few minute of massaging...

les bains de paris

Advantages: famous, chic, cool , fashion
Disadvantages: little

...If you are a night clubber i'm sure that you have to go to LES BAINS DOUCHes this is one of the most famous dance club of Paris. That is in the center of paris.. It's a bit like in the movies there is a lot of people of the security at the enter and a lot of Physionomists who tell who can enter ... or not . The club is the center of paris, don't go before 1' oclock... 'cause before there is not a lot of clubers in . But after 12 there is no Metro in bus and no bus anymore , so you have to take a taxi, walk, or wait for the night bus. That is really chic ! And it's pretty hard to enter in if you don't know anyone in, and if you are not super pretty girl. In there is a great ambiance and a lot of girls. For boy it's better to wear a costume and for girls they just have to be pretty and sexy in what they wear. The club is not...

The Expérience Cinématique that is Le Grand Rex

Advantages: Good atmosphere, la Grande Salle,
Disadvantages: Expensive, small screens

...Going to the cinema during your visit to Paris might not top of your list of things to do, but Le Grand Rex is certainly not your everyday cinema. Histoire Le Grand Rex was opened in 1932 and is the oldest cinema in Paris. It has a long and interesting history, from its opening night on the 8th of December 1932, attended by a ritzy, glitzy list of 3,300 VIPs, to its occupation by the German soliders, who used it as a place to watch propaganda films. The building is decorated in a typical art deco style, whilst the inside, particularly the 'Grande Salle' - the biggest room, which also boasts the biggest screen in Europe - is a mixture of art deco and baroque style. Le Grand Rex is also home to a night club - Rex Club - which is attached to the building and is right next door. However, in the many times I've visited, this has...

JPG Le Male - from a female perspective!

Advantages: Sexy smell, long lasting, great design, women love it!
Disadvantages: none

...I first bought this aftershave for my partner over 2 years ago, and neither of us have tired of it since. I bought it after a friend recommending it and I am so glad that I did! THE PACKAGING Ok, the baked bean tin exterior isn't perhaps the most original casing for a fragrance (although perhaps a useful storage pot!), but the actual bottle of JPG Le Male has become an icon because of it's unique, sexy design. It looks great on display, and I even have an empty bottle as an ornament on my shelf, alongside an empty JPG Classique bottle (the female equivalent, also in an attractive body-shaped bottle but in a dusky pink!). It looks much more stylish than many other perfume bottles around. THE SMELL Firstly, it is distinctive. I work in a bar and even in the smoky atmosphere I can still tell immediately when a customer is...

Le meridien Paris

Advantages: spotlessly clean, luxury hotel.
Disadvantages: costs

...It was my wife?s 40th birthday, so what could I do that was a little special? What about a trip in a hot air balloon? That was out as she doesn?t like heights. What about a weekend in Blackpool? Not an option as it isn?t her favourite place. So I choose Paris. It would be our first time out of the country together and as a couple with no children! And where better than the romantic capital of the world? So I booked the short stay at my local Thomas cook, and we decided on Le meridian hotel in Montparnasse ? Paris. The hotel was built in 1974 and has 25 floors, with eight lifts (elevators) and 953 rooms. The hotel offers a range of ?extras? including, 24 hour room service and reception and concierge desk: Fax machine, interconnecting rooms, e-mail facilities, Currency exchange, Laundry/dry cleaning service, Safe deposit...

Get a 'Le Whif' of this!

Advantages: Fat, sugar and calorie free
Disadvantages: May not work for everyone

...I love chocolate but I don't love the calories that I consume every single time I take a bite. I am constantly trying to keep trim but can't seem to control the 'Chocolate Monster' that lives within me. I am good for a couple of weeks then the monster raises it's big head and I seem to go wild and binge on just about every chocolate based thing that I can find. Imagine my delight when I fell upon an article about a new chocolate that contains absolutely no calories, no fat or no sugar? Yes, I know, it sounds too good to be true doesn't it? but I was prepared to try it once, if there was a slight chance that I could make the 'Chocolate Monster' (and my fat tummy) disappear forever! (Cue scary laugh). WHAT IS A 'LE WHIF'? The 'Le Whif' is an small, lightweight inhaler that was invented by a David Edwards who is a Harvard professor...
