Press on ........

Advantages: Quicker, easier and no aching back!
Disadvantages: Takes up more room than an iron

...I was in need of a new iron. Not something for which I really wanted to shop as I had been perfectly satisfied with the one I had. The problem was that the cable had become rather worn and I was beginning to feel that it was dangerous. Apart from this I was never comfortable with the ironing board and consequently the ironing became a chore to be put off as long as possible! In fact, not ALL of the ironing was a chore - some I quite enjoyed - some got put back time and again until desperation set in and I HAD to get it done. This was usually bed-linen. Whilst I realise that a lot of people don't bother ironing bed-linen these days, I was brought up to expect smooth well ironed sheets so they HAD to be ironed! I had often looked at presses and thought it would be nice to be able to afford one of those. However, they...

Review of Domena Easy Press

Push my button, press it baby press it

Advantages: cheap, quality product, easy yo use
Disadvantages: hardly any, maybe software

...Ok ladies gents after long time no review I?m writing again as my exams are over. Ok so today I am reviewing the pressit lite CD labelling kit. What?s in the box? -------------------------- OK I?m not going to bore you with packaging details as you can see the picture but the box is appealing and basically just illustrates what you can do with the kit. In the box you get: Expressit design software CDrom Pack of CD labels and jewel case inserts Pressit label applicator The CDrom and labels obviously need no description other than the labels and inserts are white and the CDrom was a lovely shade of orange. The applicator can vary in colour but mine was blue. It is fairly small, has the front surface area of a CD with a little lump sticking out of the top and a spring in the middle. OK now its time for the serious...

Review of Medea Direct PressIt CD Labelling Kit for Mac OSX - CD/DVD label kit (PLLK01003)

PURE PRESSED PERFECTION

Advantages: even flawless perfect coverage
Disadvantages: price

...Some foundations which I wear really do play havoc with my skin; some of them are too oily and look really bad when I apply them, some give me dry skin and others block my pores and give me spots. I have lost count on the amount of money which I have wasted on foundations over the years, if I don't like the look of it when I apply it or I find that it dries or irritates my skin them I'll throw it in the bin straight away regardless of the amount of money which it cost me. On one occasion I spent £30 on a foundation which I only bought because I had heard that it was really good, only to throw it in the bin after three uses because it made my skin look all dry and blotchy. I had almost given up hope of finding the perfect foundation for my skin until my mums friend recommended Jane Iredale Pure Pressed Base to me. Albeit it is...

Review of Jane Iredale PurePressed Base

You'll Have To Press Me For A Positive Because It Is Pants!

Advantages: Cheap, packaging looks good
Disadvantages: Rubbish powder and applicator

...*Introduction* I bought 17 Pressed Powder along with their trio of eye shadows in an attempt to spend less money on make-up. I had come to the realisation that my make up bag was worth a fortune and I couldn't afford to keep buying make up that cost so much money. So I decided that I could still buy a few luxury items but I had to balance these out with a few cheaper products. I bought 17 Pressed Powder as I always wear foundation but I also like to apply a little powder as I find my face is too shiny without it. *The Claim* 17 Pressed Powder is a silky smooth powder that keeps you fresh faced all day. *About the Product* Use 17 Pressed Powder to fix and finish your make up and create a long wearing flawless finish. *Application* The application of this product should be straightforward. Unfortunately...

Review of Press For Time (DVD)

Perfect Pressed Powder

Advantages: Low price, works well, good quality, easily removed with make up remover or water
Disadvantages: None for me

...much packaging at all, just a blue and black cardboard box with the name of the product and the Colortrend logo on it. Inside the box is the black plastic case which the powder itself is pressed in. You open up the case to get to the powder, and it comes with its own sponge which also has the colortrend logo on and is good quality. The sponge is really soft and feels smooth on your face when you put the powder on. What it is like There is 10g of pressed powder in the compact. This product has lasted me ages, my sister has this stuff as well and it has lasted her two years so this really is good value for money as it lasts such a long time and is a good price. You use this after you put your foundation on in the morning and it stops your face looking shiny throughout the day. As in the name, this gives your face that final...

Review of Avon Color Trend Final Touch Pressed Powder

No Pressing Problems

Advantages: Presses trousers with minimal effort and produces a sharp crease.
Disadvantages: If the trousers are not put in perfectly you get a 'tramline' effect.

...I remember my father coming home from work each evening and beginning the ritual of ?changing out of his suit?. This was the 1950s and memories of clothes rationing were still strong, so clothes, any clothes, were looked after and made to last. I think this is why I?ve always been unable to dispose of any clothes until they actually fall off my back! My father?s suit would be removed, brushed and checked for any marks or necessary repairs and the jacket would be hung up to air. The trousers would be carefully straightened and laid between the mattress and the bed base to be ?pressed? overnight. The system worked well and cost nothing, but had its drawbacks, not least of which was the certainty of a row if there was someone in the bed at the time. A trouser press could have saved a lot of trouble. The principle of the press is...

Review of Corby Classic Trouser Press

A very pressing matter!

Advantages: Easy to set up and use, generally good results
Disadvantages: Slight "show through" of side seams

...Having been used to the luxury of a trouser press when I lived with my parents (and I don't mean Mum doing the ironing for me!), it is something I have been meaning to purchase for some time but, until now, there have been other demands on my finances. I have always been the kinda guy who likes to have my trousers neatly pressed, but also the kinda guy that manages to get "tram lines" instead of a single crease when I attack them with an iron! Also, all that fuss of ironing them through a handkerchief so that they don?t go shiny ? urgghhh! Enough! So, I finally got round to making the purchasing decision a few weeks ago and opted for the 4400 model which is the second model in the range and was retailing at £99.00. The main difference between the different available models falls into two areas... the type of timer and the finish...

Review of Corby 4400 Trouser Press

A cheap and not so cheerful pressed powder!

Advantages: Cheao and it does make the skin feel soft
Disadvantages: No visible results apart from a powdery look

...The other week when out on a date I got totally drunk! Hence to say the date didn't go at all well (the main reason I reckon I got drunk actually lol) but worse than that I lost my No7 brand new pressed powder! The following morning I woke up with the hangover from hell and missing my powder cursing saying I'd go out with someone in the first place! lol. So what I did was buy my favourite Max Factor pressed powder to make up for the loss but at the same time knowing I'm prone to losing things when I'm out and about that I'd buy myself a cheaper one. So the idea was to use my favourite in the house to complete my look but if I took a cheapo one out with me and lost it...well no harm really done! So that's why I bought this one! It's usually a mere £1.99 a compact but it's currently on offer that if you buy any 3 items from the range...

Review of Boots Natural Collection Pressed Powder

Perfect Pressed Powder!!

Advantages: Inexpensive and really works
Disadvantages: No powder puff included

...As you can probably tell by my previous reviews that I am a Clinique fan! Everyday I use their liquid foundation finishing off with a dusting of loose translucent powder! Now despite the Clinique powder being so fantastic I have discovered that this is not suitable for transporting in ones handbag! Much too big and also rather messy if it was to open. Then I had a brainwave (bit unusual for me that one!) - why don?t I buy a pressed powder compact for touching up my shiny patches in the afternoons! Call me tight or a skinflint if you want ( I am Scottish!!), but there was no way that I was forking out another £17 for a Clinique powder albeit a pressed compact one. So whilst in Superdrug one day I had a browse at the make up. My goodness what a selection they had. There were six or seven sections of well known brands...
