Amplify Shampoo are the americans taking over.

Advantages: small amounts needed, resonable price, shiney smooth looking hair
Disadvantages: none as of yet

...Matrix is the no1 hair retailer in american salons, it has slowly filtered through to the uk and i must say about time. As this is an american brand it is very advanced compared to the uk made brands. they now supply everything you can think of shampoo, conditioner, gels, wax, sprays, conditioning tratments, heat protector you name it they do it. My personal favorite is the Matrix amplify volumising system range, the shampoo is a must in my house hold. It is a volumising shampoo, that boosts dull lifeless hair. it be honest i don't tend to have lifeless hair but this shampoo is great for hair that is dull and dry, and transforms my hair into a lovely mane of shine that looks really healthy and cared for. if am always colouring my hair so i need something that, will help and this does the trick, i colour my hair every six weeks...

Amplified Heart - Everything But The Girl

Advantages: Some Good Songs, Good Lyrics
Disadvantages: Quite Mournful In Places, Some Songs Rather Short

...In 1994 Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt, collectively known as Everything But The Girl, released their seventh studio Album entitled Amplified Heart. There had been two other Albums released between this and its predecessor Worldwide, but these were essentially compilation Albums. One called Acoustic, released in the United States only and featuring as you may guess from the title, Acoustic versions of some of their previously released songs. The other a proper compilation of their Greatest Hits called Home Movies.

Amplify your Heart

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: The Dance Track.

...I bought this album ages ago, and today walked over to the CD rack and noticed it peering down at me: "Everything But The Girl, Amplified Heart". They say good music lasts forever, so why should a good album like this die, even if it was released in 1994. OK, first off. What is it? Is it pop? Rock? Dance? Well it's pretty slow, miserable music. But in a slow "he's left me" sort of way. It's probably pop if you were to caregorise. But I hate categorising. It's not the cheesy sort of Britney Aguilera does Madonna's greatest hits, but what music should be: from the heart, soulful and good. You may have heard of them, you may not have. But they have made albums all the way from 1984's 'Eden' up to 2000's 'Temperamental'. The biggest hit of the album is the 11th track, Missing (Todd Terry Club Mix). That was back then when house music...

Philips Arcitec Shaver

Advantages: easy to clean, smooth shaving, docking bay
Disadvantages: doesnt hold most charge, compared to others, but good enough

...Note: This is my boyfriends shaver - I wrote the review while he dictated. I don't need to use a shaver (...at least I think I don't...) I bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday as an upgrade to a previous Philips shaver. It was on offer in Boots at the time and I paid about £140 as well as generating some Boots loyalty points. ~~~~~~~ The Unit ~~~~~~~ At the time it was the 2nd from the top of the range - the top of the range was the nivea moisturise one. It also has an edge trimmer and the boyfriend does not bother with moisturiser (!) so this model is sufficient. The shaver is about 6 inches tall and about 2 inches wide so it fits in the palm of your hand. The control is an on/off button located in the handle at the front in the centre. ~~~~~~ Usage ~~~~~~ The shaver has an ultra slim and easy to use...

Review of Philips RQ 1075 Arcitec

Philips Aluminium quality juicer

Advantages: Healthy living, quick simple design
Disadvantages: blade removal, a little bulky

...Excellent item, it extracts all the juice you can get. However the blade/filter section can be difficult to remove when it has been used. The pulp is excellent for composting because it is reduced to very fine matter that can be broken down very easily. The whole item is generally easy to clean and is stable when in use. Waste container is easy to empty and collection jug is easy to clean too. The aluminium finish is very chic, looking good in your kitchen. I particularly like the rubber sucker feet on the juicer, these prevent the juicer sliding on your work top. I have seen many different juicers before i bought this one and i would say overall it is the best one that i could find. well done Philips for an innovative item that serves a healthy and valuable purpose with style. Recommended to all thos who want to make their healthy...

Philips Arcitec - Helping you to value your face

Advantages: Good qulaity of Shave
Disadvantages: Slightly Higher Price

... Philips Arcitec This one is one of the finest product of Philips in Electric Shavers. A lot of marketing in support of this product with a high price of about 160 to 250 GBP is not just a hype but true. It is actually a great product and thus its price should not stop it to capture the market. Quality of Shave The Quality of the Shaver is always determined from its ability to remove hairs. My shave has always been a challenge for the shavers and this one proved to be a good performer in dealing with it. It is capable of removing the hairs from the remotest areas of your face and the ones whic are indeed left out by normal cheap shavers. Going some details, it was able to shave off the hairs from my neck and on the side skins that cover my lip which in normal conditions would leave side burns. Its always difficult to...

Philips SoundMachine AZ102N - The Soundmaster!

Advantages: Good quality chassis, good sound quality, does everything for the price, looks nice.
Disadvantages: Inbuilt handle could have been better, silver version better than white -preference.

...regretted this later. I do not own anything from Philips but believe this was a good purchase and I am sure it will last. Overall an excellent CD/Radio stereo and would recommend it to anyone to is looking for a stereo for the kitchen, bedroom or office. While it is basic it does what it is told without any argument. Thumbs up!...

Philips TT 2021 Bodygroom For The Perfect Shave

Advantages: Close, comfortable and convinient
Disadvantages: Packaging not great

...My husband is very fussy when it comes to shaving and he likes to have his own razor that I don't use. He used to spend a lot of money on purchasing the Gillette Fusion Power 4 pack priced at 7.99GBP. After finding out that I was using his razor he decided to buy the Rechargeable body shave system Phillips TT2021 this is not to be confused with the Phillips TT2020 which is similar, but not the one I am reviewing. So my husband decided to buy this razor because he knew that I wouldn't use it because I cannot use electric razor's like this they make me come out in a rash and do not work on my skin. I asked my husband to review this razor and to give me his opinions of how effective the razor is. The following is the review that I have rewritten in my own words for the purposes of Ciao. This razor is exclusively for men...

Review of Philips TT 2021 Bodygroom

Philips Electric Shaver

Advantages: Built In Conditioner, quiet, stylish, effective
Disadvantages: Bit of a hassle to clean

...and colours. The feel of it is very comfortable on the hand and is easy to grip, due to slight ridges around the back of the shaver. This also makes it very comfortable and easy to hold, which i would say is one of the most important factors in something that is to be used daily. Also, obviously, it must be good at its job. Which this shaver is. It did a very good job, and was the closest shave i have ever had. I was previously using a gillette mach 3 razor and shaving foam. The Philips shaver eliminates the need for shaving foam, which i always found an annoyance. I think that the reason for the closeness is the fact that each of the heads vibrates/girates and moves independantly, meaning that they can move accordingly to each person's individual features. Moving around the jaw bone and cheek bones, means that it gets alot closer to the skin...
