Another Perfect Product from Origins

Advantages: Gorgeous smell, superb moisturising effect, paraben free
Disadvantages: No SPF

...I am a big fan of the Origins Perfect World range, having used the White Tea Skin Guardian for a number of years now, so when my frankly not very impressive Clinique moisturiser ran out recently, I knew I wanted to invest in the Perfect World Moisturiser. The Perfect World range is packed with more antioxidants than you can shake a stick at. The ingredients in this are intended to work to help detoxify skin from harmful free radicals (the nasties that make you age quicker) before they can cause any oxidation, dehydration or irritation. It's formulated without Parabens (I'll get onto those later), synthetic colour or fragrance or animal ingredients and isn't tested on animals so like all Origins products, very ethical. It also contains Ferment of Sugarcane which increases the skin's ability to neutralise free radicals, and murumuru...

Review of Origins A Perfect World Moisturiser

Fit for a Duchess? Duchy Originals Conditioner.

Advantages: Pleasant scent, left hair soft and fragranced
Disadvantages: Price, price, price!

...Review of Duchy Originals conditioner. I am reviewing the Rose and Mandarin version of the conditioner, there are several different fragrances in the range, but this review will concentrate on Rose and Mandarin only. I was given a bottle of Duchy Rose and Mandarin shampoo recently by my daughter. She had bought it, tried it and disliked it, so passed it on to me, a few days later she turned up with the matching conditioner. The Product ?A creamy, nourishing, protein conditioner made with organic Rose and organic Mandarin Essential oils? is the strap line on the label. Anyone who read my earlier review on the shampoo in this range, may recall that I was less than impressed with that product, so my expectations of the conditioner were fairly low! The conditioner is presented in a rather old fashioned, recyclable, clear...

Review of Duchy Originals Conditioner

The Original

Advantages: Amy Lee's vocals, the songs, lyrics...everything!
Disadvantages: None

...Before Evanescence made it big in 2003 with what many think of as their debut album "Fallen", the band released this album in 2000. Back then, they weren't very well-known, and the album was only ever released in the UK. I've loved Evanescence ever since I first heard "Bring Me to Life", and so after I'd bought Fallen, and loved it, I searched the internet to find out if they'd done anything else. I came across a few obscure mentions of a CD called Origin, but when amazon didn't turn up anything in a search, I gave up. Back then, you see, (and it's hard to imagine), I didn't know about the wonder that is ebay. Anyway, I digress. So I'd bought Fallen, loved it, and played it again and again over the following couple of years. Then, when I heard that Evanescence were releasing a new album in 2006, I once again searched the internet...

Review of Origin - Evanescence

Duchy Originals Shampoo. Am I guilty of treason?

Advantages: Ummm...... it's organic!
Disadvantages: Expensive, poorly designed bottle, doesn't lather.

...Review of Duchy Originals shampoo. I am reviewing the Rose and Mandarin version of the shampoo, I understand that there are several different fragrances in the range, but this review will concentrate on Rose and Mandarin only. I was given a bottle of this shampoo recently by my daughter. She had bought it, tried it and disliked it, so passed it on to poor old Mum! The Product ?A rich, nourishing Shampoo made with organic Rose and organic Mandarin Essential oils? is the strap line on the bottle. Sounds good! The shampoo is presented in a rather old fashioned, clear plastic bottle, this is rectangular in shape with a black lid. The lid has a small indentation which you need to push down in order to access the shampoo. The bottle contains 200ml of pale yellowy coloured shampoo. The shampoo is a self adjusting formula...

Review of Duchy Originals Shampoo

Miracle product

Advantages: Last for ages, covers unsightly marks.
Disadvantages: expensive

...the original one I purchased. I think that this £20 although a lot to pay out at once is cheaper in the long run if you think how often you would normally replace your other products....

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)

Alpen: The original

Advantages: Authentic taste,delicious and healthy.
Disadvantages: Not suitable for Gluten,Cow's milk & Nut alllergies.

...,the raisins and they were landing on his pet dog's muzzle which was promptly wolfed down by one happy and spoiled dog! I thought he was grosse,actually,and I nearly threw up watching him so when I was firmly persuaded to try some myself- in a seperate bowl I hasten to add, I was seriously grossed out on those raisins but I did have a serious love affair with the rest. What is it about dried raisins that completely gags a kid? And how come your tastes change so much as an adult that you find yourself actually enjoying them after all? I'm not precisely sure how long this product has been on the market but I know it feels like it's been around since the time of man began.. PRICE There are various types and one would agree that they're one of the expensive brands; Asda wins hands down on price (as usual!) at £2.84 per 1.5kg bag...

Review of Alpen Original

Muse - Origin Of Symmetry

Advantages: Brilliant, energetic music
Disadvantages: Disadvantages?!?

...After recently watching one of the best live performances I've ever seen at Reading Festival this bank holiday weekend, I felt it completely necessary to review what is, in my opinion, Muse's best album to date; Origin Of Symmetry. After the general success of their debut Showbiz, this second album raised them into the high-society of headlining rock music acts. After this weekend's show, it's easy to see why Matt Bellamy, Chris Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard are thought of so highly. Opener New Born, is simply breath-taking. The piano introduction builds the song up perfectly, with Bellamy's eerie vocals - Thom Yorke-esque at times - acting as a perfect compliment. Then it all happens. The piano's die down and it comes the electric guitars, with a riff full of energy, rhythm and excitment. From then on the verses keep the tempo...

Review of Origin Of Symmetry - Muse

St. Elmo's Fire - Original Soundtrack

Advantages: Excellent Movie Sountrack.
Disadvantages: None!

...memories of this movie and of the time it was released in the charts to me and I just love recalling it all. This track was released in 1985 and reached number 15 in the billboard charts. The music video to accompany this love song was taken from clips of the St Elmo's Fire movie also. This is an excellent track, that?s an all time favourite to me. Overall Opinion Of St Elmo's Fire Soundtrack. Well as you have probably gathered from reading this review, I really love this soundtrack a lot. I have had this original one for over twenty years. I first had it on cassette and then upgraded it to CD. It really looks a bit tatty on it, but that?s because it has been played a lot by me over the years, as I love it so much. This CD was one of the first movie soundtracks that really caught my attention because of the great meanings all the songs...

Review of St. Elmo's Fire - Original Soundtrack

A wicked product!!!!

Advantages: Makes you feel like you have done some exercise and is easy to use
Disadvantages: Takes you a while to unlock all the games-no actually it takes you ages!

...Wii Fit takes the whole concept of games as exercise to a new level. It's a decent alternative for those bored with the repetitiveness of going to a gym or too self-conscious to join a yoga or aerobics class. It tracks your progress and gives you fitness tips along the way. The board looks sleak and slylish and can hold up to 322lbs (about) and can be used bay all ages as it is very easy to use. The downside to it is the fact that you have to unlock most of the games yourself and you can't make your own fitness regime. It is a fantastic product and you feel like you have been doing exercise. It is FAR better having a go on this than sitting watching TB with a bag od crisps :). I got my Wii fit about a month ago and absolutly love it! A fabulous product & would recomend it to everyone! -xXx-...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Original smooth operator.

Advantages: Smell, smoothness.
Disadvantages: None at all.

...I hate shaving, I hate the mundanity of it, I hate the cuts, I hate the fact I have to! On top of all that I am useless at it, which considering I have been doing it for 30 years, is pretty poor really. Generally I use an electric razor but every now and then, about twice a month I have a 'proper' shave. I have never found a razor I liked, and never found a shaving foam/cream/gel I liked, until now! I do like the Original Source range, the shower gels and the shampoo's so when I saw a shaving gel, I thought I would give it a try. Packaging: Green, recyclable can, very green in fact, with the familiar (to me) Original Source font and the heading 'refreshing and cleansing'. Nothing else exceptional or different about the can or squirty nozzle; directions for use and ingredients on the back. They make a point of listing that...
