Outstanding Natural Beauty

Advantages: Wonderful film, spuerb acting
Disadvantages: Nothing worth mentioning

...Some of my most recent reviews have been very negative. As I have also bemoaned the lack of quality in many TV programmes and complained that too many merely set out to undermine people and their achievements I felt I was doing that which I most criticise. I will seek to redress this balance by describing some thing that is truly excellent. A film whose mere presence makes the world a better place. American Beauty is such a film. For a directors first movie to be such an absorbing spellbinding production is amazing. The film has the feel of a number of cinematic gods who have combined, used all the known wisdom gathered over a century of film making, and produced a near perfect film. Sam Mendes deserves every honour he has gained from this film. The story is told is a comparatively simplistic way, there is no deviation from...

Review of American Beauty (DVD)

Naturally Glossy and Naturally Beautiful

Advantages: It's natural looking, doesn't clump or flake, lasts ages!
Disadvantages: None!

...contained a small trial version of Clinique?s naturally glossy mascara. So even though I am dubious about Clinique and their claims to make you beautiful, I figured it couldn?t do any harm to try it out, it was free after all :o) After a few days of wearing this mascara I had someone tell me how naturally long my eyelashes were, they couldn?t believe it when I told them I was actually wearing mascara. You see, this mascara is so light that even after a few coats it doesn?t look obvious that you are wearing any makeup. It doesn?t clump unless you cake it on (which would happen with any mascara, they key is in the application), isn?t that the idea of make-up after all, to look like your not wearing any when you actually are? So Number 1, YES this mascara lives up to the claims of being ?natural?. Moving on to ?glossy?, I?d say the word to...

Review of Clinique Naturally Glossy Mascara

Natural Beauty

Advantages: Looks fantastic, feels great, long wearing
Disadvantages: None

...-up. The product also didn't feel sticky. It felt beautifully natural. +* PRICE *+ The price obviously varies depending on where you buy your product from. I got mine for £22.00 and it has been worth every penny. Some may think this is too expensive for a blusher / lip stain, but I think it is great value for money. +* AVAILABILITY *+ You can buy BeneTint from Benefit counters which you will in Department Stores such as Debenhams. You can also order your product online, directly from their website. ** I hope you enjoyed my review. Obviously, every girl goes for a different look when it comes to make-up. I would highly recommend this product and many others by Benefit. If you happen to pass a Benefit counter, I would have a little nosey. I can guarantee you won't be disappointed **...

MY LITTLE BEAUTY

Advantages: Instantaneous results, youthful, radiant, vibrant skin
Disadvantages: The price and perhaps the packaging

...Until very recently I'd never tried a single Clarin's product and until even more recently I didn't believe that beauty products really could work miracles. So what has caused the cynic in me to disappear? My in laws gave me a birthday present that is a pretty little pink box containing a number of Clarin's trial size products. It was in this little box that my miracle beauty product lurked, untried and untested by myself until about two weeks ago, largely because I hadn't bothered to read the leaflet and wasn't quite sure what it was for. I am, of course, talking about Clarin's "Baume Beaute Éclair" or more commonly known as "Beauty-Flash Balm" (BFB). Then a couple of weeks ago I was at a two day work conference and the overnight stay resulted in some pretty serious drinking with some pretty stunning hangovers and an almighty...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Natural Beauty Takes A Lot Of Working At!

Advantages: Miracle products that make you look fab!
Disadvantages: Looking fab can be expensive and time-consuming!

...you a lifetime as they have a sharpening guarantee). Rimmel Hide the Blemish Concealer Another classic product here. Despite being one of the cheapest concealers you can buy Hide the Blemish is almost always voted favourite concealer by the readers of Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire etc in their annual beauty awards. It comes in a small beige and brown tube and is available in four different shades. I have two shades in my make up bag ? Sand and Natural Beige - that I alternate depending on whether I am tanned or not! The concealer itself is in a stick form (like a lipstick) and is creamy, easy to apply and provides excellent coverage to conceal any blemishes and dark circles. Hide the Blemish is available anywhere that stocks Rimmel for example Boots, Superdrug and most pharmacies for the bargain price of £2.99. Special Mentions...

Review of 10 Beauty Products You Couldn't Live Without

Understanding A Beautiful Mind.

Advantages: An excellent award winning drama, based on a true story.
Disadvantages: None!

...My Reason For Purchasing A Beautiful Mind DVD. I wrote this review a year or so ago for another review site which has since closed. I thought I would upload it here as A Beautiful Mind is one of my favourite Drama films ever and I just wanted to recommend it and give some opinions on it. There is quite a few reviews already about it, but I just wanted to give my two cents worth also. A Beautiful mind is one of my favourite Russell Crowe Movies. I actually like this better than the movie Gladiator. Well I watched this film a few years ago at the Movie house and I enjoyed it so much, that I bought it on DVD when it first was released. I have watched it several times over the years and each time I do, I love it more and always seem to pick up on something I missed in the film the previous time I watched it. This really is...

Review of A Beautiful Mind (DVD)

Beauty in a flash...

Advantages: Instantly works on improving skin appearance
Disadvantages: Quite costly

...Wanting to further improve my skin, friends recommended me this flash balm so a friend offered me a sample of the product to try. I was eager to try it out! Clarins is a well-known and highly respected brand in the make up industry. Their ranges of products are all of an extremely high quality and value. Although their prices are on the high end of the scale, their products are well worth the money. So what is this Flash Balm? Clarins states that this Beauty Flash Balm will -Promote immediate and long-lasting radiance. - Firms and helps minimise fine lines and wrinkles. - Smoothes and softens skin. - Strengthens and refines the contours of the face; skin regains firmness and suppleness. - Make-up looks exceptionally radiant. My first thoughts on Flash Balm, is the name, which came across as a product that works quickly...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Natural talent

Advantages: Good performance by Robert Redford
Disadvantages: It's about baseball

...lose for his financial gain. When Roy refuses to play ball (not literally!), things begin to get nasty. Can Roy save his career and the reputation of his team? And will he manage to sort out his complicated love life? I don't like baseball. I don't like films about baseball either. I recently watched Field of Dreams about a reincarnated baseball team and thought it was rubbish. Yet while sitting flicking the channels the other night, The Natural caught my attention and I ended up becoming engrossed. Baseball aside, this film is quirky and slightly off the wall. Oh, and the fact that Robert Redford is in it helps too! As Roy Hobbs, Redford is playing a man that is quite a bit younger than he was at the time - he would have been nearly fifty, yet Roy Hobbs is in his thirties for most of the film. Although this is immediately obvious...

Review of Yves Rocher Natural Beauty

Beautiful, natural looking hair

Advantages: Looks really natural, multi tonal results, makes hair really shiney,cheap, just overall amazing results
Disadvantages: Turned out a little darker than on the packet

...Having dyed my hair quite a few times trying to get a lighter blonde result my hair had turned quite yellow and looked really fake. I decided to go back to my natural colour of sort of medium ash blonde and chose to use nice n easy as I'd heard it worked really well. I eventually chose the shade 106 - Natural medium ash blonde as it looked about the same as my natural colour. It cost me about £4.63 I think at Tesco. I think in superdrug they have a two for the price of £6.00 offer or something like that but seeing as I was dying it back to my natural colour I'd only need one pack. Enlisting the help of my sister I began to use it. Inside the box is an activating fluid type thing ,some other liquid (the colour shade I think),some rubber gloves and a conditioning treatment that you are supposed to use once a week for six weeks. First...
