Summery scent

Advantages: smells nice
Disadvantages: not long lasting

...****Salvatore Ferragamo: Incanto Heaven, Eau de Toilette **** I always love trying out new perfumes and so was happy to receive a small bottle of this. **Packaging/bottle** I got the small bottle of this and it was cylinder shaped. I liked how this was a roll on one so you can just rub it on your wrist. The only thing i would say about the roll on version as the label looks quite cheap as apposed to the bigger bottle which is quite nice and floral looking.The bigger bottle is really colourful and attractive to look at. It is really bright so i think it is something that you wouldn't be able to help but notice. **Smell** The notes in this include grapefruit,apple,apricot,violet and musk. I would describe as being a very feminine perfume,very sensual and nice to smell. It has quite an unusual smell to it and i would describe it as being...

Review of Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto Heaven

Pretty in Pink

Advantages: Smells gorgeous, looks really pretty, last well
Disadvantages: May be difficult to find

...On Saturday I went shopping, I felt a bit down so I spent a fortune to cheer myself up, on of my numerous buys was this absolutely stunning perfume. Salvatore Ferragamo, who until Saturday I had never heard of, makes the perfume. After looking the name up on the Internet I have discovered that there are various other perfumes made by the designer already available. Whilst I was wandering up and down the perfume counter in Boots I noticed how pretty this perfume looked. It's very eye catching and is pleasant and easy on the eye. It's a very girly type of bottle and looks very sweet and innocent. If you look at the picture at the bottom of the page, you can see what the bottle looks like, because the picture at the top is of the original Incanto perfume and not the new one that I'm writing about today. The bottle looks very...

Justified and Ancient

Advantages: Well paced
Disadvantages: Little character development

...Justified and Ancient (The Ancient - R.A. Salvatore) IainWear Name: IainWear Product: The Ancient - R.A. Salvatore Date: 17/06/09 (33 review reads) Rating: Advantages: Good story, with plenty of action Disadvantages: Too many plot strands early on One of the first fantasy trilogies I ever read was R. A. Salvatore's "Forgotten Realms: Icewind Dale" trilogy, featuring the dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden. All this time later and Salvatore is still writing novels with fighting high on the agenda and I find that I can still enjoy them, although not quite as much as I did in my younger years. In the Northern land of Alpinadoon, the leader of the Samhaist religion, Ancient Badden, has reclaimed the holy lake of Mithranidoon. Out in the waters of this holy lake, he is dismayed to find that barbarians, powrie dwarves and - even worse...

Review of The Ancient - R.A. Salvatore

Excellent coffee - accept manufacturing default

Advantages: Compact for it's functions, easy to use
Disadvantages: Had major problems with it leaking

...This was our first Saeco espresso machine purchase about three years ago. The first 8 months were a dream until it started to develop problems, which I'll detail below. But first how it all works. Why Automatic? This is an automatic espresso machine, what sold us was the fact that any body can use the thing, it's compact, and creates less mess than manual machines. We were also sold this version 'Rapid Steam' as it has two boilers as opposed to one in the straight Incanto machine. The idea behind this is that one boiler is dedicated to the temperature of the water for the coffee shot, the other to the steam for frothing the milk. Therefore you don't have to wait the 30 seconds or so for the machine to heat up/cool down between functions. How it works There's a tank at the back to fill fresh water and a bean hopper...

Review of Saeco Incanto

Shopping in Rome

Advantages: Godd variety, Excellent leather and fashion goods
Disadvantages: Can be expensive

...classy outlets include Salvatore Ferragamo, Gianfranco Ferre and Luisa Spagnoli. The city has fun fashion stores, plush jewellers, shops selling fine glass and crystal ware,and delightful embroidered linen. If you are looking for stylish shoes, Rome is one of the best places to buy them. The city is also famous for leather goods, although the leather handbags and jackets beckoning from store windows are no longer as inexpensive as they once were. The Piazza di Spagna, named after the residence of the Spanish ambassador to the Vatican, is a major focal point for Rome's tourism. The square and the streets below the steps are the places for smart shopping, with the area bounded by Via dei Condotti, Via Borgognona and Via Frattini the most exclusive in Rome.If you have the time check out the Keats Shelley Memorial House-a great place to...

Review of Shopping Centres - General

Designer bargains galore

Advantages: Bargain designer clothes, free parking
Disadvantages: Expensive food, outdoor centre, could be a wider range of shops

...?s clothes and women?s accessories. ? Polo Ralph Lauren - I had a quick look in this shop hoping for more than rows of their polo shirts, but was disappointed. Maybe if I had looked harder I would have found something ? Petit Bateau ? French childrenswear ? Phase Eight ? ladies? fashion ? Redgreen ? casualwear for men and women ? Racing Green ? another of my favourite shops selling great priced quality men?s and women?s clothing. Unfortunately I didn?t find anything here on this visit, but I was after particular things this time and not just any old bargain. ? Reebok ? some great bargains to be had here. Mainly trainers, but they also have a selection of sportswear. ? Robert Clergerie ? handcrafted French shoes and accessories. ? Salvatore Ferragamo ? women?s and men?s fashion and shoes. ?

Review of Bicester Village (London)

Longer version of film classic fills in all the gaps

Advantages: Powerful story, romantic classic
Disadvantages: It's long.......

...In 1989 a shorter version of Cinema Paradiso won Best Foreign Film Oscar for director Giuseppe Tornatore. Originally almost three hours running time, , It had been cut for the US market as it was deemed too long. This DVD, the "Director's Cut" restores the film as it was meant to be. One of the great all-time weepies, Cinema Paradiso tells the tale of Salvatore, a successful film director who returns to the poor Sicilian village where he grew up following the passing of an old friend. The film opens with an adult Salvatore receiving the call while in bed with his latest mistress notifying him of a death. . We then flashback immediately to our hero (Jacques Perrin) as "Toto" an adorable small boy fascinated by the films he sees illicitly at his local fleapit, with the help of his friend...

Getting the Gift

Advantages: it works well for men who want to come across as sensitive and yet agressivein their own right
Disadvantages: packaging is not exactly stunning

...I bought this as a gift for one of my male friends and I must admit that it has quite a sugestive name : Romance. I did'nt just buy it because I was attracted to the innuendo the name suggests but also because I preferred it over all the rest that I tried at the perfume counter at Duty Free. It come in a plain, ordinary dark coloured box and doesn't seem to have any special design on the package and that's where I think the designer's of the Ralph Lauren Romance fragrance bottle have lost out. Especially to comepetitors like Salvatore Feragamo and Lanvin that package their fragrances in stylish sleek looking bottles that also give your bathroom shelf the flash factor. If, however you do like simplicity this glass structure will definitely be a hit with you. The fragrance is a touch softer than what you would normally get as...

Review of Ralph Lauren Romance for Men Eau de Toilette Spray

Credo - I believe in cinema

Advantages: Beautiful, artistic, accessible
Disadvantages: Some may be put off by the subtitling

...now. Cinema was true escapism and heavily censored by the church. The act of going to the cinema was akin to going to church with the same sense of occasion and importance. Through a series of flashbacks we follow the life journey of a young boy (Salvatore aka Toto) obsessed by the movies and the life that they breathe into the town. Cinema Paradiso is romantic without being soppy and manipulates the audience's emotion with complete disregard to decorum. There's a warmth to the film despite the audience's emotions going though the whole gamut of feelings; funny, sad, anger and love are all experienced and leave one feeling that this was indeed a clever film. The plot is simplicity itself - a fly on the wall style reminiscence of a man who, as a boy, would abscond with the milk money in the hope of catching a moment on the screen...

Review of Cinema Paradiso (DVD)

Cinema Paradiso is film paradise!

Advantages: Moving and heartwarming story, one of the most beautiful film endings ever.
Disadvantages: That the version for UK and US release cuts out key scenes.

...This has to be one of my favourite ever films and will be a sheer delight to those who love the cinema. Directed by Giuseppe Tornatore, the film was originally released in Italy in 1988, was reworked following critics reaction and was re-released in 1989. The edited version went on to win the Jury prize at the Cannes Film Festival and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film (it is in Italian with subtitles). The recent DVD release (2003) comprises both the 1989 original theatrical version and the director?s cut, with original and extra scenes added, and is a real treat! The film begins in the present day, where we are introduced to Salvatore, a film director, as he learns that an old friend from his hometown has died. As he prepares to return for the funeral, flashbacks take us back to the small town in Sicily, then coming to...
