I (Roxy) Love it!

Advantages: Smells great (to me), can be found cheaply
Disadvantages: Doesn't last too long on skin

...It's been a while since I have worn perfume on a regular basis, I've had a few mishaps with bottles of my old favourite (Hugo Woman) and decided that it was too much hassle and money to replace them after they leaked/broke the sprayer, etc. But when I was in TK Maxx buying a last-minute present on Christmas Eve, I spotted a bottle of this and thought I'd give it a try. It as only £6.99 and as I have a lot of Roxy clothes and like their outdoorsy, free spirited image, thought maybe it would be a scent that I would appreciate too. The purfume comes in a frosted glass bottle, which appears very pale blue but that is in fact the colour of the perfume, with a shiny silver lid. Fairly plain compared with some of the beautiful bottles out there, but it definitely wont look ugly on your dressing table. I have the 30ml size, there is also...

Review of Roxy Love

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Highlighter

Advantages: does the job
Disadvantages: expensive

...Yves Saint Laurent's Touche Eclat has become known as the best highlighter money can buy, and that's not without reason. Yes, the brand name and packaging are appealing, but it's the miracle inside the shiny gold tube that you're paying for. And believe, me it's worth the money. Before Touche Eclat, Yves Saint Laurent was not particularly well-known for its make-up line. Whilst many designer cosmetics are more style than substance, this is not true for Touche Eclat, which is more than a side-project for a major fashion house. This product works as both a concealer, covering dark under-eye circles and as a highlighter, to accent areas such as cheekbones. The reason why it works so well is that it contains light reflecting particles with give your skin a natural, radiant glow, whereas other concealers and cover-ups effectively just...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)

The Definitive Best Of Roxy

Advantages: Of many greatest hits of albums for Roxy this is the best
Disadvantages: None

...This was the first of the Greatest Hits compilations which Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music produced. When originally released it contained 20 tracks as a double album but although each side of the LP had 5 tracks the running time was as little as 16-17 minutes for a couple of sides. The later version of their greatest hits (the CD ‘More Than This’ released in 1995) had a longer total running time on a single CD. Plus ca change. For me this album better defines the essence of good Roxy Music and, ergo, good Bryan Ferry. Don’t get me wrong I like Bryan Ferry as a solo artist but for innovation and inventiveness he was at his best when with the musical influences of Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay. It was the first 12 months of Roxy which was so new and fresh. There were one of a number of bands who grew from close...

Review of Street Life (Greatest Hits) - Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry

Live 2001 - Roxy Music

Advantages: all the best Roxy tracks in concert
Disadvantages: none

...Roxy Music reformed in 2001 after 18 years apart. No new material but the tour was a triumphal success, proving that Roxy could still cut it in the 21st century. This double live album collates tracks from all across the tour, seemlessly edited together to create the ultimate Roxy concert. From the opening thrill of "Re-Make /Re-Model" to the closing sigh of "For Your Pleasure" this is simply one amazing track after another. Not only are the original songs effortlessly recreated on stage but there are numerous little embellishments that actually improve upon the originals. For example - Colin Good's beautiful piano into to "A Song For Europe", Chris Spedding's slide guitar in "Both Ends Burning", Lucy Wilkins' gorgeous voilin embellishments in "Tara" and many more. All the classics are present and correct - "Virginia Plain" is...

Review of Live - Roxy Music

The Roxy

Advantages: Value
Disadvantages: Queues

...For some reason there seems to be two menus for the same cinema anyway Hollinwood Roxy is the same as The Oldham Roxy. The roxy isn't in the middle of nowhere infact it's on a very main road, near the motorway aswell, but its in the small town of Oldham, and is pretty much a local sort of cinema. Prices vary, it will go from about £3 in the morning to £4 at night. Inside food is reasonable, i buy a small popcorn, small slushy and that about £4.50. I would be lying if i didn't say i'd tried to get into a 15 when i was below the age, but i didn't get in they unlike some cinemas are very strict about it so theres no point trying! Queues can sometimes be quite long but the staff deal with people quickly so you aren't waiting long. There is 2 main huge screens which are used for the latest box office hits and smaller ones...

Review of Hollinwood Roxy

A little devil but a saintly cheese.

Advantages: Delicious and remarkably versatile
Disadvantages: Naughty but nice

... ST AGUR BLUE CHEESE St Agur is one of my favourite cheeses; it is SO good, if rather naughty!!!! If you like a soft blue cheese, like Gorgonzola I'm sure that you will love this cheese. St Agur is a blue cheese that is made from pasteurized cow's milk which comes from the village of Monts du Velay, in Auvergne region of central France. (Incidentally there is NO village called St Agur, in France - or anywhere else, and nor is there a saint called Agur) This is a relatively modern cheese that was only developed in 1988 by a French cheese company (Bongrain). It is classed as a 'double cream cheese' as it is made from pasteurised cow's milk that is enriched with cream, and contains 60% .After production the cheese is aged for 60 days in cellars, during this storage the cheese becomes stronger and spicier. Saint Agur is...

Review of Saint Agur Cheese

Saints reincarnation 2

Advantages: -see review-
Disadvantages: -see review-

...Saints Row 2 is a great game but I feel the game was messed up by the end of the first game, basically at the end you get blown up on a ship, then the developers decided they would make a second game but wait, your characters dead, I know lets say he miraculously survived and is recovering in prison, yeah and while we're at it lets modify all the other characters to make it look like some times passed by, no not all that great. I must say though this is evened out by the fact that new gangs have taken over whilst you were in prison and the cities a wreck, yep typical gangster games! The graphics are good, the characters are amazing, I love the way when you see Julius in a secret mission he has exactly the same battle scars plus a few, the scenery/ game map is really good, another thing the developers ruined for themselves is the fact...

Review of Saints Row 2 (Xbox 360)

The saint

Advantages: Great action packed spy movie
Disadvantages: none

...The saint is a movie that comes from the popular tv series that use to star Rodger Moore,Val kilmer replaces him as a top spy who is a master of disguise and suceeds buy convincingly changing his appearence,in this film we find him on a new job to swipe intelligence for the russians,unfortunaley the job becomes harder when the proffesseur turns out to be the lovely Dr emma russell (Elizabeth shue). The film is action packed and although you usually see through Mr kilmers disguises its still a good movie,probably not something you want to see in numerous sequals thoughIt has a james bondish feel to it and Val and Elixabeth do good jobs in there cast roles,often over looked its a good afternoon movie but probably not one for the collection,it has a good soundtrack and manages to breathe some new life into a old series ,definatley...
