REMINGTON 2X PROTECTION

Advantages: Heat up very fast.
Disadvantages: People assume they're not as good as GHD.

..., ceramic straighteners hit our shelves! Great. I have always been really happy with my Remington straighteners, then, Wet to Straight came out. I was very intrigued, but again, they were, and still are, ridiculous prices. So, I decided to try my straighteners out on my damp hair, after a brief towel-dry. Obviously, due to Health & Safety Regulations, I am not recommending this to anyone, but, I have been straightening my damp hair with my normal Remington 2X Protection straighteners for about 3 months now. I have not electrocuted myself, and I must say that my hair has changed from being well straightened to unbelievably well-conditioned Godess stylee be-A-utiful hair. I have been training to be a hair stylist for the past 9 months now, and have used almost every brand of straighteners that exist. Although GHD straighteners do the job...

Review of Remington Ceramic Straighteners

Protect and shine?

Advantages: Cheap, they do work if used on highest heat setting.
Disadvantages: Doesn't stay straight for long unless used at a very high temperature.

...After my old straightners broke, I went out looking for some new ones. I didn't want anything fancy I just wanted some that would keep my hair straight. I came across these at boots, they were reduced from £49.99 to £24.99. The fancy packaging on them says on the front of the box 'join the shine revolution.' They also claim to 'create no frizz, sleek hair wih up to 70% more protection from hair splitting and damage. Using the words first straightner with high-heat Teflon Woven Fabric ceramic plate technology. The micro-fibre weave, wraps and cushions the hair, striaghtening with kindness and enviable shine.' This really appealed to me as even after using protective heat spray I still use to get some split ends with my old straightners. The straigtners come with heat protective mat which is very useful.as they don...

Remington S9810 Genius Straighteners... not so Genius really!

Advantages: A digital display and the option to change the temperature.
Disadvantages: Poor quality and a horribly expensive price tag.

...I must admit I am a big fan of GHD hair straighteners. Ever since my Mum bought me a pair of them last Christmas I would never go back to any other brand. However I am a member of the Amazon Vine programme and I received a pair of these Remington Genius straighteners for free. Genius Straighteners? Remington state that if you want cutting edge technology that?s usually found in hair salons, then these are the straighteners for you. In fact, Celebrity Hairdresser of the Year, Steven Goldsworthy, goes as far as saying these are the Ferrari of all hair straighteners! After reading this I was certainly intrigued, could they really be as good as they sound? The plates on these straighteners have the most advanced Ceramic coating, vital if you want a smooth finish with your straighteners, rather than a static look. They also...

Review of Remington S9810

Remington's Diamond of a Beard Trimmer

Advantages: Great performance and features. Easy to use.
Disadvantages: None to speak of.

...INTRODUCTION I went through a phase of sporting a goatee, but was finding it increasingly difficult to keep it tidy and well maintained. The problem with normal, bog standard, manual razors is that it?s very easy to accidentally cut into your beard, forcing you to adjust the other side to keep it symmetrical. If you make enough mistakes, your goatee starts shrinking and frankly, looking ridiculous. Much to my wife and daughter?s despair, I decided to make a long term commitment to facial hair by investing in a proper beard trimmer. With Nectar points to burn, Argos was the obvious destination, and I ended up in investing in Remington?s MB 320C ? for no other reason than it sounded fancy and it looked good. IN THE BOX The trimmer comes in a zip up travel pouch with plenty of room to store the unit and its various...

Review of Remington MB 320 C Performance

  Protect and Perfect

Advantages: It works, fairly inexpensive
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...I first stumbled across this little miracle cream completely by accident. Approximately six months ago, I bought some Boots No 7 cosmetics, mascara and an eye pencil, if I remember correctly. There was some sort of ?special offer? on at the time, which I wasn?t aware of ? spend £15.00 or more on Boots No 7 cosmetics and you get a free ?gift pack?, consisting of a few different No 7 products, including, nail varnish, moisturising day cream, an eye-brow pencil a make up bag, and Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Serum. I took my little booty bag home and over the following few weeks, proceeded to work my way through my bag of freebies. Most of the stuff was fairly run-of-the mill, but when I cam to use my Protect and Perfect Serum, it was another matter. My freebie consisted of an extremely small (5ml) tube of Protect and Perfect Serum...

Review of Boots No.7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum

Protect and perfect

Advantages: Very moisturising
Disadvantages: Not for oily skin

...No 7 protect and perfect I was on a bit of a cosmetic buying spree the other week, and spurred on by the promise of extra advantage points, I found myself at the Boots No 7 counter. I bought along with a few other items because I was clutching an extra points voucher, a £5 discount voucher and was additionally enticed by the 3 for 2 offer. For a bargain hunter like me, with the ethos "points make prizes", this was retail heaven! **What does this promise to do?** Once again, I am confounded and astounded by the claims, but this one promises " younger looking skin in just 4 weeks". The unique ingredients will smooth lines and wrinkles, reduce the appearance of pores, and liven up your complexion. I can never understand how they can promise this, but am still a sucker for advertising every time. **How does it do this...

Review of Boots No.7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum

Remington Fuzz-Away.

Advantages: Simple and easy to use and works well .
Disadvantages: None.

...What a great little gadget The Remington Fuzz-Away is, I remember the first one I got as a pressie about 15 years ago, I'm now on my third one due to the fact that the first one I owned was stepped on and the second was borrowed and I did'nt get it back! This little battery operated gadget is used for shaving off those unsightly bobbles that appear on your clothes, I've used it with very good results on socks, jumpers, tops, trousers and jogging bottoms, But it can also be used on cushions,curtains and bedding ect and isn't just limited to clothing. The Fuzz-away is simply a low voltage battery operated fabric shaver which is small and lightweight and fits nicely in the hand. It has a perforated mesh head which is glided back and forth over the fabric until the bobbles are removed. The bobbles are removed by...

Review of Remington Fuzz-Away

Forget GHDs Remington's are FAST & Smooth...

Advantages: heat up fast, glides smoothly, ceramic plus Teflon coated, durable, 3 year warranty, safety carry case included and Excellent VALUE for money
Disadvantages: on/off switch can get switched off accidentally when holding

...they are and they are very easy to hold. They come in a dull grey matt graphite finish and the ceramic plates inside are a dull gold colour. I'd say the plates are about 1¼ inches in width (or about 3cm) so they are not too wide to handle or style with and neither would I say they are too narrow to get anything done with. If you have masses of very thick, curly hair, you may be better off with Remington's wide straightener. Another astonishing thing you notice when you first go to use these straighteners is just how long the cable is, its very long! (3m) so you won't find yourself leaning and trying to stay as close as possible to power source when styling -you have ultimate freedom of movement. The on/off switch is easy to find on top of the straightener and just slides on. There is heat protection metal stand that pulls out from...

Review of Remington S1002

A Fair Maiden in Need of Protection...

Advantages: Clean and light, good coverage
Disadvantages: Tricky Spray Top

...I am the daughter of a strawberry blonde and freckly mother who burns on stepping outside and a brown haired father who tans to a gorgeous golden brown enough to make all sun worshippers in a mile radius weep with envy...Which of these genetic traits did I happen to end up with? Of course, my mother! I do have a little more resistance to the sun than my mother however, luckily getting a little something from my father! But I do still need to be extra careful in the sun. I can tan, but I can also burn. To make sure I stay the right shade of pale I should be, without doing my skin any damage, I use Garnier Ambre Solair Clear Protect. I am a keen festival goer and sun cream is always an essential when standing in a field all day in midsummer. What is Clear Protect? ------------------------------- Mostly everyone knows...
