Polytar Liquid Shampoo

Advantages: Works great on dandruff!
Disadvantages: It stinks!

...WHAT IS POLYTAR? Polytar is a shampoo for the following: itchy flaking scalps, eczema, seborrhoea, psoriasis and dandruff. I have suffered on and off for the past few years with mild dandruff which has always annoyed me as I have dark hair and it can be noticeable if left untreated. The fact that my scalp is dry makes it itchy which leads to even more flaking when I itch it. My review is going to be on how well the shampoo worked with dandruff and not the following scalp conditions as mentioned above. Polytar is a watery liquid which isn?t very much like normal shampoo which turns into a lather in the hair. It is brown/golden in colour and has a very strong smell, which doesn?t in my opinion smell nice! The shampoo is used as a substitute for any current shampoos that you may be using, so you are not meant to mix them both together...

Dettol Liquid

Advantages: versatile
Disadvantages: be careful with usage

...Dettol liquid has been a family name for years. It is a concentrated antiseptic disinfectant which kills bacteria and provides protection against germs. We mainly use it for cleaning up baby sick but it actually has a huge number of uses. These are outlined on the packaging along with the instructions on how much to dilute Dettol for the various uses. Apparently it can be used to cure dandruff and for midwifery [I really don't want to know the details of that one, I'm just grateful that they didn't whip out a bottle when I was in labour], which is something that I didn't previously know. As well as dealing with baby sick with have been known to use Dettol to cleanse cuts and stings [for which you use 50ml of Dettol to 1 litre of water], and for cleaning toilets [use undiluted] and floors [25ml of Dettol to 1 litre of water...

Recoil - Liquid

Advantages: A dark slice of life, gorgeous soundscapes & lyrics
Disadvantages: Some weak tracks

...Alan Wilder was a member of Depeche Mode from their second album onwards until his unexpected departure after the Devotional Tour in the 90's and has been instrumental (sorry) in helping develop and hone their sound. Both during his tenure with Depeche Mode and latterly on his own, he has had a side 'project' under the Recoil monicker which has produced a number of stunning but increasingly dark and disturbing albums. Each one uses a number of different guest musicians and vocalists so even within a single album there are many different styles but all have that unmistakable attention to sonic synth detail that he is so good at. His prime collaborators on Liquid are performance poets Nicole Blackman and Samantha Coerbell and Diamanda Galas whome I'd previously only come across on The Tube many years ago as she shrieked for 5 minutes...

Review of Liquid - Recoil

Purple washing up liquid!

Advantages: Good price, works well, smells great
Disadvantages: None for me

...When in my local branch of Tesco?s the other week I needed to buy some washing up liquid and so headed to the relevant aisle in search of a good deal. I noticed that the Tesco Antibacterial Washing Up Liquid costing 92p for 500ml was on special offer of 2 bottles for £1.20. I thought this sounded like a good deal so I bought two bottles. The bottle is made from clear plastic and so is fully recycleable and has a flip top lid. Through the bottle I could see the lovely rich purple colour of the washing up liquid which is French Lavender fragrance. The notes on the back of the bottle offer the customer the ?best ever performance, cleaning ability and grease removal?. There are instructions for use on the back of the bottle although I can?t imagine anyone actually needing to read instructions on how to use washing up...

Clean and smelling good! (Fairy Liquid)

Advantages: A little goes a long way so it lasts for a long time.
Disadvantages: Tempting to use too much which results in huge volumes of bubbles, everywhere!

...Fairy Original washing up liquid, although used less in our house now due to the use of a dishwasher, it still takes pride of place next to the kitchen sink. The bottle I have is 450ml and made of clear flexible plastic allowing for the liquid to be squeezed out with easy. The top is a red flip top and made of plastic. The bottle I have cost 98p and boasts it contains 50% extra too, so looking good on the value side of things. The label contains a number of details including advice on hand care (simply saying to rinse hands after use and that as the product is a detergent therefore avoid prolonged use, especially if you have cut on your hands), gives reference to a website that I haven't yet checked out (www.sustainale-cleaning.com), ingredients (which can be found at www.infdo-pg.com) and contact details (see end of review). Does it...

maybelline dream satin liquid

Advantages: nice smooth finish, easy to apply
Disadvantages: smears off within a few hours of wearing.. makes face shiny

...So.. what with economic recession and the credit card crunch I was intrigued when I read something somewhere about normal brand foundations being essentially the same as expensive brands.. and so this summer i decided to try and see if this was true and instead my usual chanel matte lumiere i found myself browsing in boots... i'v used and liked alot maybelline products - their great lash mascara is super by the way - so i was keen to try one of their foundations. My friend had used the dream mousse foundation with great results but as i have slightly dry/dehydrated skin i picked up the new liquid version... ah yes dnt we all love anything with big NEW sign on it!! It comes in a little glass bottle of 30ml's and as its a fluid foundation should last awhile. Being made out glass the packaging is recylcable apart from the plastic pump...

Liquid Freshness!

Advantages: Good Value For Money
Disadvantages: Only Available At Tesco

...I have only recently discovered Liquid Capsules as an alternative to Washing Powders and Washing Liquids. Having originally tried (and been rather impressed with) the Ariel Liquid Capsules I decided to try and save a few pennies and purchases Tesco's own brand on my next shopping trip. I paid £1.98 for ten Capsules compared with £2.62 for the same quantity of Ariel, and £2.79 for Persil. WHAT ARE LIQUID CAPSULES? Each Capsule consists of a plastic Pouch containing 50ml of Washing Liquid. They are incredibly easy to use as you simply place the one of the Capsules inside the drum of your washing machine on top of your dirty Clothes, turn on your desired Washing Programme and let your Washing Machine do the rest. The Plastic of the outer Pouch quickly dissolves as it comes into contact with the Water so in effect using these...

Dream Satin Liquid Foundatin - Amazing!

Advantages: Flawless Look, Light & Breathe-able.
Disadvantages: None =]

...Well, I saw the adverts for Maybelline's Dream Satin Liquid and thought 'what an exaggeration!'. I had always been a fan of Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse in shade ivory, but it started to annoy me as it made my skin dry and sunk in to my pores, even though i do not have noticeably big pores. I then tried a Rimmel Lasting Finish 16hour wear again in shade ivory. I wasnt keen on liquid but this was good, but it did have a orange glow to it and not much cover, it was also hard to build without looking caked. Overall it was a good foundation. After getting fed up of my make up coming off and fading i decided to try Dream Satin Liquid. When I tried some on from the tester i thought it was the best thing ever! So i bought it. Then, after going to school it seemed to get a bit patchy on my skin and appeared to sink in my pores. I then...

My 'Magic Moisturising' Shea Butter Liquid Soap.

Advantages: Excellent, luxurious hand soap.
Disadvantages: Price!!!

...HOW I DISCOVERED L'OCCITANE SHEA BUTTER LIQUID SOAP. I was first introduced to L'Occitane Shea Butter Liquid Soap a few years ago. I used to be a hairdresser and one day a few years back my boss purchased and brought into our Salon this lovely bottle of L'Occitane Shea Butter Liquid Soap for the staff and customers to use in the washrooms. On first using it myself that day and on first trying it out, I really was pleasantly surprised with it's beautiful fragrance and the wonderful soft sensation it left on my hands. All the customers in our Salon where commenting highly on this liquid soap also and asking my boss where she had got it from and how much it had cost. At first I thought this L'Occitane liquid soap was very expensive when I heard it cost around £13 and that was a few years ago, but I soon learnt that this was no...

Palmolive Odour Neutralising Liquid Handwash

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...Palmolive Odour Neutralising Liquid Handwash claims that its special formula neutralises stinky smells on your hands, such as onions and garlic. It also contains an antibacterial agent which helps to remove germs from your hands. Palmolive reckon that it should leave your hands ?feeling clean, fresh and protected? So does it do all that it purports? I hate anything that tastes, or even smells like, lemon or lime. So when my husband picked three bottles of this up I was really not impressed. He?d chosen it because it neutralises odours and is antibacterial, but I didn?t think that was enough to get me over the smell. However, I was to be proved wrong. I wouldn?t describe the smell as limey at all, it just smells really fresh and clean. I?ve had guests commenting on how nice it smells. It is a fairly strong smell but no one in my family...
