Advantages: Rapid Effect, Great Value, Long Lasting Effect
Disadvantages: Doesn't Cure The Problem, Not To Be Used For More Than 7 Days

...It is the season for coughs, colds and general sniffles and with those, many of us gets a blocked nose, which may or may not be sinusitis. For me, a blocked nose is probably THE worst symptoms of a cold and I hate it, which is why I have always used Sinex in the past. During my last cold, Sinex disappeared off the shelves and I was greatly distressed by this. However, in Tesco, for £2.48, they had Sudafed spray. I wasn't sure but then realised Sudafed made decongestant tablets, which were always good, so why not give it a try. The packaging is a simple white and green box, not overly appealing but when you have a cold, nothing does. Inside there is a 15ml brown bottle with a white pump and long white nozzle for popping up your nose. The nozzle has a clear cap covering it for hygiene purposes, so if you do perchance to carry...

Advantages: Works Well
Disadvantages: Smell could be better

...To be able to use the Olympic Symbol as a sign of recognition from the International Olympic Committee is no mean feat, and it suggests that there must be something special about this series of products. Seeing as several top sport stars endorse it, and that the Olympic Committee approves it, I thought Physio Sport would be worth a try. Amongst the products I have tried are Anti-Perspirant Spray, Shower Gel and Deo Body Spray, all in three different fragrances. The product I am writing about today is Physio Sport’s Deo Body Spray. This differs from the Anti-Perspirant, and for easy recognition it comes in a smaller container, a 150 ml can. The Deo Body Spray offers “Long lasting deodorant protection that ensures total freshness and allows your pores to breathe.” It differs from the anti-perspirant in that the anti... Read review

Advantages: Effective, Product Offers, Lovely Smell
Disadvantages: Pump Action Can Be Difficult

...Now that summer is on it's way, well hopefully it will be soon, it is time for me and probably many other people around the world to get their skin ready for summer. I have used and do use a variety of products to get my skin ready for summer and one of the most important items in my bathroom is a moisturiser. A moisturiser is all well and good but it can make your skin feel clammy and heavy, especially in the summer, so last summer I decided to investigate other moisturising products in the hope of having something quick to use and something light for my skin. Browsing through my Avon catalogue I chanced upon their skin range called 'Skin So Soft and found they did a product called 'Dry Oil Body Spray'. This product promised to 'Lock in moisture after bath or shower. Non greasy, quickly absorbs into skin in a convenient spray... Read review

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: sticky, doesn't hold a curl, useless

...My hair is mostly straight, but with a bit of a natural wave. I normally straighten it, however occasionally I curl it -either with tongs, or by doing that twirly thing with my GHD's! As my hair is very thick and a bit frizzy, it doesn't tend to hold a curl for very long and also the curls can look a bit messy, due to the frizz. I wanted a product that would hopefully calm the frizz and hold the curl. To be honest, the only reason I chose L'Oreal Hot Curl Spray, was because it was the only product I could find that I thought would be suitable. ~About the product~ L'Oreal Studio Line Hot Curl, markets itself as a spray which is specially developed for use with curling tongs and hairdryers with a diffuser. It promises 'long lasting bounce and definition for satin smooth hair' and also contains ingredients to protect the hair from... Read review

Advantages: Excellant way of cooking. Less calories
Disadvantages: More expensive than the normal oil

...'Fry Light Sunflower Oil Spray' - made by MH Foods - boasts the spray on oil contains only 1 calorie per spray. What do you reckon of that? Not bad, hey?! I've never used this before. I've never thought about it - until I was shopping in Asda the other day and decided to give this a go. I'd actually seen a can of this sitting in my sister's cupboard, and it was her that spurred me into buying it really. I paid £1.84 for a 250ml can of this spray on oil. Admittedly, it is a fair bit dearer than the conventional oil, considering you can buy the shops own brand for a mere pittance! But, for once I didn't mind paying over the odds for this, just to see what it was like! The oil comes in a perdominantly yellow can with s a white background. There's sunflowers on the can and the instuctions on the back, with them saying... Read review

Advantages: Easy to apply, cools the skin and mosturises
Disadvantages: dangerous top to the bottle, hands get slippery when applying, smell of cocnut is not everyones cup of tea

...OK guys and gals, hands up - who got burnt to a crisp over the weekend???? Yep yep yep hands appearing all over the place. I must confess that even after writing an op about sun protection the other day, I neglected to put it on yesterday when I took the dog out! Alright so it wasn't blistering sunshine at 8 yesterday morning, it was sunny, but a little chilly with a lovely breeze, BUT I still got slightly burnt! Not third degree burns - but slightly scorched all the same. I have tried over the years a number of after sun products, that claim all sorts of weird and wonderful things, make your skin glow - it is glowing enough to fry eggs already thanks! Those that cool you down instantly (they don't), those that alleviate the burning and prolong your tan - I have yet to find one as good as Calypso after sun spray.It doesn... Read review

Advantages: water resistant, coloured initially, easy grip bottle, smells nice, works well, easy to apply
Disadvantages: runs out fast, slightly too runny, stains white clothing

...This product is specifically designed for children, it provides a very high level of protection against UVA and UVB rays (factor 40), claims to be extra water resistant and suitable for children's delicate skin as well as being coloured so that you can see where it has been applied (to avoid missing bits!). All of the above reasons made this sun spray seem like an ideal one to use on my little brother on our holiday. Nivea is a brand that I have always used and never had a problem with, so when I saw that tescos were selling two 200ml spray bottles for just £10, I brought this factor 40 kids product for my bother and a bottle of nivea sun spray factor 20 for the rest of us. As soon as we were at our hotel in Crete my brother wanted to be in the pool so it seemed the ideal time to test the water resistance of the sun spray... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use on Low maintenance hair
Disadvantages: Can create a sticky feeling on the face and neck

...Fructis Style Gel Spray Hard Extreme 150ml This product has been designed to create vibrant hair styles in a quick and easy manner, with low maintenance on the hair as possible. It portrays that you will be in control and can create any hairstyle that you want. The product comes as a spray, compared to the ordinary gels or mousses that people can use and comes about as being the new revolutionary product About me I'm a very sociable person and the weekend is a key thing I look forward to, and when going out, hair is one of my main important things to get sorted before a night out. Because I don't pamper myself I need a product which is fast and does the job without any mess. And from the look of this product it would do well. At the time I tried the product with long hair and the outcome was awfully poor with how my hair... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: The smell is vile, the product is sticky and takes ages to dry

...Before I begin, I would like to state that this is not the correct picture with this product! I’m a bit of a fruit scented freak, and love to try out the Avon Naturals range. I bought the lemon and lime body spray a couple of months ago for £2.50, although this item is quite often available as part of their buy two, get one free offers. The bottle holds 125ml. I like to have a supply of body sprays, but do normally go for the bog standard aerosol type product. In the summer I get through a huge amount of body sprays, which I use in conjunction with deodorant, body cream and body lotion. The Lemon and Lime Body Spray is slightly different, in that it is a pump action dispenser type spray, covered by a plastic cap. The bottle is thin, tall and made of clear plastic, through which the spray can be seen. On shaking... Read review
