Bedazzled by water.

Advantages: Fresh, pure and a three-dimensional taste.
Disadvantages: Nothing wrong with tap water and it's free, as the saying goes...

...its journey through the ancient limestones of the Peak District, gathering all the minerals along the way and emerges at a warm temperature of 27.5 degrees centigrade regardless of the weather. Buxton water is known to be one of the purest in the UK. The taste? *********** How can you describe the taste of water? I certainly can't - pretty stupid thing to do to make a suggestion of it then...huh! Anyway, with what I find with the water, the taste is significantly different from tap water, well, at the least the tap water than comes from out of my kitchen. Coincidently, it does seem to have a purer taste - a soothing, fresh feel. Personally I always felt that our tap water tastes a little bit on the chalky side, but I think that's just a matter of the regional 'hard' / 'soft' water thing. So why Buxton and not any other brand...

Review of Buxton Natural Mineral Water

Water is as Water Does

Advantages: refreshing
Disadvantages: expensive for water

...Buxton Mineral Water..... I try to drink a few glassess of water each day and if I am out and about I would rather buy a cheap bottle of water rather than a pricey bottle of fizzy pop. This Buxton Mineral Water was around the same price as all the other bottles of water and cost 55 pence. This is a fair price for a bottle of water and cheaper than most fizzy pop bottles. The water itself is clear and fresh. It is of course best drank when very chilled and not so nice if you drink it warm! Yuck! The bottle has changed shap recently making it easier to hold and even better for re-use of the bottle itself. As water goes this tastes just like it should pure and refreshing. i would not say I prefer this one to others but then again I would not say I prefer others to this. Water is a better option than fizzy pop and this water...

Review of Buxton Natural Mineral Water

Is it only water...?

Advantages: Refreshing!
Disadvantages: Can taste a bit mouldy-ish!

...Well... you're probably thinking how boring writing a review about water is, but I haven't got many other products to write about. Also, I haven't written a review for a while, so this was the first thing that came into my head. We all know that no-one can survive long without water and you should be drinking plenty of it eat day. Fact: we can live without food much longer than we can live without water. It's part of our every day life, and we can take it for granted. Some countries don't have much of this and can you imagine what it is like living in a hot country without anything to drink? Anyway onto the product... Buxton is a still, natural, mineral water and is bottled at souce, which is the St. Ann's Spring. It tastes fresh and crisp, which is good. Obviously water doesn't taste or smell much, but it does make your mouth lovely...

Review of Buxton Natural Mineral Water

water water everywhere and none for my dog to drink

Advantages: good in times of water shortage or out on a hot day
Disadvantages: tastes like tap water

...Highland Spring - that was all they had - for 89p for 1.5litre. The first thing I was surprised to notice was that it had a sell by date on it. This is Jan. 2010. I thought I might as well taste it to see if I could tell any difference. We have very hard water here and it is drinkable and never had a problem with it. On tasting I thought that it did not taste any different from our tap water. The day after the water was on again and back to normal I thought that I woiuld have a glass of both tap and bottle water to see if I still felt the same about it. Definately no difference at all. My dog? Oddly he went to the tap water but perhaps that was just because it was to his front right and he is right "handed". I dont know. Highland Spring is naturally filtered through land certified as organic by the soil association...

Review of Highland Spring Still Natural Mineral Water

Water way to go.

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

...This review is on Volvic, but theh particular item that I am going to be writing about is their four pack of one litre bottles. And so in essence, you are in fact getting four litres (or four for theprice of one...? No, OK). But anyway, this is a review on the afore-mentioned item(s) of water. As already pointed out, this item came in a four pack of bottles of water each at one litre in content. Every one is a sports cap (meaning you have a teat-like device at the top which makes it easier to drink from rather than always having to faff about with opening its lid on the top should you be out running like me - yeah, right!). The bottle isi your average shaped water bottle of its size, and is a clear plastic which for those of you who are also like me and environmentally aware it can in fact actually be recycled. There is a label...

Review of Volvic Natural Still Mineral Water

MaxFactor natural minerals foundation - definately not natural

Advantages: Good concept and easy to use bottle
Disadvantages: Gave my skin an uneasy tone

...This is the first minerals based foundation that I have used however it is not the first max factor product. The product promised a new mineral foundation that would build coverage and whilst smoothing my imperfections and providing me with a 'healthy glow'. Unfortunately for me the foundation simply did not work. I have fair skin and purchased the shade 'natural 70'. In fact there are also the shades cream ivory, warm almond, golden and bronzed. I purchased a 10g bottle that comes in a 2 part standing compartment. The top part holds the brush and the foundation is held in the bottom part. The foundation is very easy to apply you just shake the bottle, remove the lid and dip the brush lightly into the 'sifter'. Then apply the foundation in sweeping motions. The first time I used the foundation I thought I had used it in correctly...

Review of Max Factor Natural Minerals Foundation

The Natural alternative

Advantages: Completely natural
Disadvantages: Has to be chilled

...Well today I am going to write about Buxton Natural Mineral Water. Nowadays with so many mineral/spring waters on the market it is hard to chose between, what do you go on? the taste? - but they taste similar, the bottle? the way they are marketed, the choice is difficult, so I just picked one up off the shelf and it happened to be Buxton. Before I go into detail on this I would like to tell you a fact!! (woo hoo) Do you know the difference between mineral and spring water? Yes - well you are a clever clogs No - well here is the answer: Spring Water is bottled water which does not conform to the Natural Mineral Water Regulations, but which nevertheless must meet the 'Tap Waters Regulations' at the time of sale. Under EEC Regulations Spring Water must conform to the same criteria as Natural Mineral Water with one important...

The Body shop .....Nature's Minerals Foundation Brush

Advantages: proberbly better suited to a loose body glitter
Disadvantages: too messy the product its supposed to be for will go every barr where you want it to

...I purchased this when i bought my latest mineral powder , and have to admit found it pretty unsuccessful for applying mineral powder. I loaded up my brush and shook of the excess which is my usual way but it seemed to have vanished up inside the bristles and when i tried to apply the powder i was grateful i was wearing my cosmetic toweling dressing gown because it seemed to go everywhere apart from my face , needless to say i have now banished this to the bottom of my make-up bag. I think this would work better if it was a little longer in the handle and the bristles were a tad shorter , until then i shall leave it where it is or find something else to use it for , maybe applying blusher or loose body glitter....

Review of The Body Shop - Nature's Minerals Foundation Brush

Ohhh ummmm refeshing WATER

Advantages: Good for you
Disadvantages: Boring!

...If you get water, cheap from your tap, then what's the point in spending 60p+ to get a bottle of mineral water? Well, it might be worth spending those extra pennies to get the minerals essential for a good diet. **~~CAN YOU ACTUALLY TASTE THE DIFFERENCE?~~** The question is, can you taste the difference between bottled water and tap water? Apparently, the answer is 'yes'. The more minerals water has, the stronger it tastes. I can taste a difference between tap water and mineral water but I can't taste much difference between the brands of bottled water. **~~WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT VOLVIC WATER?~~** All natural mineral water must come from a pollution free source. The water must also be bottled at source and nothing can be done to alter the flavour of the water. This goes for all natual mineral waters and not just Volvic...

Review of Volvic Natural Still Mineral Water

Volvic mineral water - better than tap water

Advantages: Very refreshing and good for you
Disadvantages: a bit on the expensive side

...Ok, I used to say to myself, why but water from the supermarket when you can get it from the tap. Why buy ready made ice cubes in bags when you can make your own? I still agree with the ice cube theory but having tried Volvic mineral water, I can finally understand why people prefer to buy the bottled water than tap water. Firstly, I think there is a marked difference in the taste. Tap water tastes "treated", or at least it does from my tap! Volvic is refreshing and best when served ice cold. *History* Thousands of years ago, the Auvergne colcanoes erupted in a spectacular demonstration of their power. Apparently, in the volcanoes of the Auvergne National Park, volvic mineral water filters through layers of volcanic rock. This natural purification and the precious minerals absorbed are what give Volvic its unique...
