Prescriptives Flawless Skin Total Protection Concealer my review

Advantages: Long wearing, protective, moisturising, silky blendable
Disadvantages: Make sure you really take your time to find the perfect shade

...I decided to pick this up while browsing the Prescriptives counter after being attracted by the wide range of shades this concealer was available in, i thought itd make a nice supplement to my foundation and when i tried a little bit on there and then i loved how the silky soft cream really disappeared into my skin, perfecting it, i was sold. When i got the little silver box home i was pleased to read the leaflet and find out how impressive this product really is, with UVA/UVB SPF 25, non-acnegenic, Opthalmologist/Dermatologist tested, waterproof, fragrance free and containing moisturisers and vitamins, the little clip lid pot is very slim, sleek, shining silver and contains a lot of product. I am prone to the odd little blotchy red patch and spot and this completely but discretely covers everything every time! Its suitable for use...

2-3 Prescriptions a Month "This is a must have"

Advantages: Can potentially save you a lot of money
Disadvantages: Intial outlay may seem a lot at first glance.

...We all know how being ill is a costly job, if unfortunately you need more than one prescription and at £6.65 per item it can work out very expensive. I stumbled across the prepayment certificate purely by accident with a leaflet I had picked up at my local pharmacy.It had never been mentioned to me and there were no posters advertising it. I had been on permanent medication for over a year and not one Doctor or Chemist had told me about the "PPC" as they call it. I believe this is one of those "Best kept secrets". This can save you a lot of money especially if you need 2-3 prescription items per month. ............................................................................................................................... I will use my circumstances as an example of what I save. I have 3 repeat prescriptions...

Repeat Prescription, Further Takes of a Rural GP

Advantages: Quite amusing
Disadvantages: but not very amusing

...You might have met Dr Michael Sparrow before in the book Country Doctor, Takes of a Rural GP. In this book, Repeat Prescription, Further Takes of a Rural GP, we again meet Dr Sparrow. The introduction is very amusing, so you know you are on to a good thing from the very get go. He provides the hapless reader with a humorous "Traveller's Guide to Visiting your GP." He advises people to book an appointment well in advance "before you are ill, preferably." He must mean your doctor, surely? And mine, too? He claims to have been born the sixth son of itinerant gypsies, on a grass verge a mile outside Wellingborough in Northamptonshire in 1957. His further claim to fame is that his" father was one of the few people who actually ran away from the circus to become a teacher, rather than the other way round." This does rather set...

Review of Repeat Prescription: Further Tales of a Rural GP - Michael Sparrow

Prescription Co-codamol

Advantages: Stops pain! Makes you feel good.
Disadvantages: Side effects, possible addiction

...Co-codamol is an over the counter medicine for mild to moderate pain. However, for severe pain, a prescription for Co-codamol tablets (30/500) may be given. Co-Codamol 8/500 is available without a prescription, "over-the-counter". The stronger Co-Codamol 30/500 is only available on prescription. These tablets contain paracetamol and codeine phosphate. Codeine is part of the opiodid group of medications, which act on the opioid receptors in the brain and block the transmission of pain signals. So what does 30/500 mean? It means that there are 30mg of Codeine Phosphate and 500mg of paracetamol. All very technical! I was prescribed some of these by a hospital doctor after having an accident in which I fell down some stairs (silly I know) and managed, amongst other things, to whiplash my neck. After being rushed to hospital, I...

Review of Co-codamol

Great product without prescription

Advantages: Comes in several sizes
Disadvantages: Have only found it Asda up to now.

...and that was the kick he needed. I bought this product at Asda pharmacy and he uses it every day, several times. His hands are so much softer and have healed well.I buy the 500g pump-action bottles for home and the smaller 150g for his rucksack, so he never goes away without it. He is converted to knowing he must use it regularly and we are hoping in 3yrs when he can retake the medical that all will be well, as he hasn't needed to see the Doctor for any prescription creams since using it. He has certainly found it to be a great product...

The Strongest Non-Prescription Painkiller

Advantages: A very effective painkiller for a wide range of ailments.
Disadvantages: can be addictive if taken for prolonged periods. Can cause some unpleasant side effects with some people.

...is a drug called Ibuprofen, with a small amount of codeine thrown in. It comes in tablet form, and is (as far as I'm aware) the strongest non-prescription painkiller that you can buy over the counter in your local chemist. ~ ~ The two main ingredients are both powerful painkillers. Ibuprofen relieves the swelling, tenderness and pain associated with advanced arthritis, and also helps to alleviate the aches and pains caused by a cold or flu. Its also commonly given to patients who have undergone surgery to help ease post-operative pain, and is useful as a painkiller for folks who suffer from back pain such as lumbago or sciatica. Other uses include the relief of migraine headaches, period pain in women, and to help relieve pain after dental treatment. Each tablet of Nurofen Plus contains 200mg of Ibuprofen. ~ ~ Codeine is...

Prescription Co-codamol

Advantages: Takes pain away
Disadvantages: Very addictive

...Co-codamol Due to the road traffic accident I was recently in I have been prescribed these painkillers, these can be bought at the chemist with advise from the dispensary and also prescribed by your doctor. I advise you to see your doctor before taking these as they are very strong painkillers and can affect you in certain ways if your taking other medicines at the same time. Co-codamol come in different strengths 8/500mg 30/500mg and others which you can buy from the chemist which I do not really know about as I am on prescription medicine at the moment. I have been prescribed 30/500mg which means there are 30mg of codeine phosphate in the tablets and 500 mg of paracetamol in each tablet. They come in packets of 30 and are to be taken one or two four times a day, but this is only what I have been prescribed and your doctor will...

My (shiny little) Secret to Flawless Skin

Advantages: Available in lots of shades, good coverage, long lasting
Disadvantages: None (it's not cheap but worth the money)

...I have never been one to use concealer, although I really do need it. The main reason was because I could never find a concealer in the correct shade for me. That was until I discovered this little gem, and now I can't imagine life without it. I am very pale and as such struggle to find a foundation light enough for me. Unfortunately I have horrible oily blemish prone skin, plus permanent dark circles under my eyes but as these are the least of my worries I have made my peace with them. I gave up on trying to find a concealer to suit me many years ago, as most cosmetic brands only make their concealers in about 3 shades, and the lightest one was always going to be too dark for me. This all changed one day when I went along to the local Prescriptives counter. I had been using their Virtual Matte foundation for the past three months...

Review of Prescriptives Flawless Skin Concealer

Read your Prescription carefully.

Advantages: They are written to help you
Disadvantages: You can lose out if you dont read them

...Everytime I am given a prescription by the doctor, I now carefully read what has been perscribed and also the amount. I never used to, until I started to notice little things. It all started last year, I made the decision to stop smoking. The doctor prescribed me the patches. (They worked for a short while, but they never stopped on the skin.) Now these are expensive, they retail at about £20 a box. I was prescribed a three week course. I handed over my prescription to the chemist, I was watching him pack my bag, as I had others things also on the prescription. I noticed that when he came out from behind his counter to the shelves he picked up only one packet of patches. I thought to myself that he must only of had two behind his counter. When he called my name, I took hold of the bag and looked inside. There was only one box...

Value prescription glasses

Advantages: price, quality, ease of buying
Disadvantages: wait for delivery, could be damaged in post, have to get a prescription

...Site for eyes is a great website where you can buy extremely cheap prescription glasses. Mens and woman’s rimless etc in many styles from oval to thick rimmed to rimless, I opted for the Site4eyes Mid Size Glasses, as I don’t need glasses all the time I opted for these for price more then anything. The glasses are robust with mid size frames in bronze, the Large lenses give a bigger viewing area the glasses have flexible hinges that give extra durability and added comfort, with a fairly large nose bridge width. The glasses I purchased have the dimensions: - Lens Diameter 50mm Nose Bridge 20mm Arm Length 140mm Frame Width 135mm That is about as much detail as I can give on the glasses I purchased but I can honestly say there is a great variety of glasses to choose from. The quality is excellent and being...
