Deck Protectors

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: See Review

...Ultra Pro Deck Protectors: As some of you will now know, I am a huge fan of the collectable card game, (CCG), Magic the Gathering, (MTG). Basically MTG is a game that requires you to build a ?deck? of 60 cards to play against other people?s decks. The cards can be very expensive but they are easily damaged by shuffling and of course the dreaded ?hand grease?. Once again though the great people at Ultra Pro have a product that is perfect for protecting your cards. Now you may think card sleeves are a simple creature; made of plastic and big enough to fit a card in, job done, but in reality it?s not quite that simple. Cheap deck protectors, (they cost about £1.00 for a hundred), are often slightly too big and become oddly baggy with use. This is a problem as it makes it hard to hold the cards and especially hard to shuffle them. Ultra...

Review of Ultra Pro Deck Protectors

Thin hygenic layer that will maintain that clean look in comfort

Advantages: Waterproof, Dust mite proof, breathable, quiet, large range of sizes
Disadvantages: None

... Background I have spent a lot of money on my European size bed and I enjoyed seeing the clean white mattress when I changed the sheets. I wanted to maintain this look by preventing perspiration and other bodily fluids getting to the mattress. In addition to this I have allergies so I wanted to have anti-allergy protection from things like dust mites. I like my firm mattress so I didn't want anything warm and padded and I get hot in bed and turn in my sleep so the requirements for my solution had to be: ? Waterproof ? Breathable ? Thin ? Non-plastic ? Quiet ? European size Solution Looking around the internet I found Allergon's product description matched my requirements at a good price; from £15 to £30. There is a large range of sizes including cots and kids beds and they make protection for pillows. The protector is...

Ghd Thermal Protector - protect your hair!

Advantages: Makes hair smoother, smells nice, protects!
Disadvantages: Maybe a bit on the expensive side - but worth it!

...When I bought my ghd hair straighteners I thought I would splash out and buy some of the hair products to match. One of the products I bought was 'Ghd Thermal Protector for Normal-Fine Hair'. Since I use my hair straighteners pretty much everyday, I think its important to use some kind of product in order to try to protect my hair from the heat of the straighteners since it can be really damaging to hair over time. I was not disappointed with this product in the slightest and am really glad I bought it. This specific product claims to protect hair from heat from straighteners and hair appliances for temperatures up to 200'c, and it also protects hair from becoming weak. The bottle is plastic and comes in a metallic bronze/gold colour . The bottle is triangular in shape. On the front of the bottle there is a mosaic type design...

Lady Protector

Advantages: Cheap, was on offer
Disadvantages: Does not last as long as gel, does not have a smell really

...Lady Protector is a shaving mousse made by Wilkinson Sword. I saw this on the shelf at Morrrisons so I thought I would try it and see what it was like. It is obviously aimed at women and you will find it on the shelves with all the other shaving gels and mousses for women. The shaving mousse comes in a 150ml can which is white with a woman shaving her under arms on the front. There is a nozzle for the mousse to come out of with a purple see through lid. The nozzle is easy to hold down which makes it easy for the mousse to come out. I find that once you have used it the mousse does end up all around the nozzle, though that can be wiped off easily. The can is quite boring to look at really and does not catch your eye at all. To use wet the area you are going to shave with warm water which I do in the shower. Then squirt on to...

GHD Thermal Protector Spray

Advantages: Works well, long lasting, protects the hair, UVA filters
Disadvantages: None

...I am an absolute fan of my GHD straighteners (as I think just about every girl that I talk to is) and in conjunction with them I also use the GHD thermal protector for dry and course hair. The nice thing was that a free bottle came with my GHD's when I first purchased them. That was about a year ago now and I have still not needed to buy a new bottle but it is nearly gone but I would say definitely a long lasting product. I use it every time I straighten my hair as well (twice or three times a week) so very good value. The formula also comes in packaging for normal/fine hair and weak/damaged hair. They are £9.95 from the official website but you can buy them in hair salons etc. They are generally the same price though, sometimes a bit more expensive. Basically the spray is designed to help guard the hair against heat damage while...

PURFLO COT MATTRESS

Advantages: 100% WASHABLE; 100% BREATHABLE; 100% ANTI ALERGENIC; 100% SAFER THAN OTHER BABY MATTRESSES
Disadvantages: NONE

...My baby needed the safest mattress I could find - yet non of the mattresses I looked at offered me what I preceived as safe. Some were breathable, have you tried actually breating through them, very different from what I think is breathable. Anti alergy and dust mite repellant, no-one could convince me; hygeinic some were partly washable so some of the mattress would be clean; could I get a mattress with no chemical to make it fire retardant - no; could I use the mattress for my next baby and fell confident it was still OK - no I was told "new baby new mattress" why I asked, I found out the reason was that the mattresses over time build up all sorts of moulds and fungi as well as millions of house dust mites so I was ten expect to spend another £100 plus for my next baby. That was until I found he PurFlo mattress! I can see it is...

Review of Pur Flo Cot Mattress

Can't say enough good stuff about Healthbeds Memoryflex mattress!

Advantages: Absolute bliss to lie on
Disadvantages: Don't want to get up in the morning!

...We needed a new mattress. We had a pocket sprung turnable mattress that was a few years old, but I knew it was time for a change because I got up every day with back and shoulder ache. I wanted to try a memory foam mattress, because the springs just didn't seem comfortable for me, and I'd read great things about good quality memory foam. Which? magazine has done a few tests on mattresses, and the Healthbeds Memoryflex has won it more than once. In face I contacted Healthbeds via their website, and they sent me a copy of the Which? report (well, you would wouldn't you?!) and that helped us take the plunge. So once I'd found the double mattress via Quidco for £380, I thought it was worth a gamble - and it has been. This is the comfiest mattress I've ever slept on, without doubt. I can sleep through the night now, and get up...

Hemp Hand Protector

Advantages: ssee text
Disadvantages: see text

...I was introduced to this product by a friend and also sampled it a few times so I was well aware of what i was receiving. This product is very good as is the foot protector; it thoroughly moisturises almost instantly and does exactly what it says on the packaging. I suppose its initially meant for hands that are EXTREMELY dry, but there's no harm in other peoples using it to add a tad bit of moisture! The cream has a thick consistancy and always feels cool when applied. It is green and is contained in a tin kind of tube. The price of this (£4.85) for a 30ml tube can seem quite daunting but it is worth every single penny and lasts for absolutely ages. There is no need to apply liberally, unless you wish to of course, as a little goes along way!! Would definitely recommend to a friend BUT I would make sure they...

Review of The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector

GHD thermal protector for normal- fine hair

Advantages: Smells great, non greasy, really does protect your hair, lasts ages
Disadvantages: Relatively expensive- no other negatives

...Ghd thermal protector is used to protect your hair from the heat damage caused by styling when using appliances such as a hair dryer or straightners. It can be used before, during and after styling. It protects the hair from damage by locking its mositure and nutrients into the hair. This particular pruduct I own is for normal- fine hair and consists of a light weight oil. To use this product you should spray it on to clean damp hair, prior to drying and benefit from spraying each section individually when drying or styling. I am really impressed with this product. I have used a number of products for this purpose and this is the only one that I have used that does not make my hair look greasy. It really does protect you hair too. Since using the products I have noticed the difference in my hair. My hair seems to look...

Review of GHD Thermal Protector Normal / Fine

Oh! So Thermal Protectors Do Work!

Advantages: Fantastic stuff - worth every penny
Disadvantages: None - don't let the price tag put you off though!

...important, then, that I use a good thermal protector. You'd think this would be obvious, right? It may surprise you to learn, then, that I hadn't used one for ages before being given this free by my hairdresser (yeah, I'm still trying to work out why they gave me freebies too!). There is a reason for this - all the ones I'd tried had been rubbish! I'd had ones that made me greasy; some that made no difference whatsoever; some that made me static, but none that worked to stop my hair getting damaged. The worst one I'd ever tried was GHD's Iron Oil - this horrible product had left my dry hair like an oil slick, hanging limply around my face. I didn't hold out high hopes for this one then. There are two ways to use this spray: the easy way and the time-consuming way. I choose the easy way (as do most hairdressers when they use similar products...
