Sun care. Don't bother.

Advantages: I finally lost it somewhere in my room
Disadvantages: I actually paid for it

...As you may have guessed from my advantages, disadvantages and title I did not like this product. First things first - whats in it? Well, as I lost mine I've had to cheat a bit and take stuff from the website (sorry!): "NIVEA Lip Care Sun provides your lips with long-lasting protection against the sun rays and prevents them from moisture loss. The caring NIVEA Lip Care Sun formula with SPF 25, nourishing Shea butter and protective Vitamin E: - Intensive UV-protection - Helps prevent skin damage and drying out of the lips caused by the sun - Provides rich care and protection NIVEA Lip Care Sun: - Is waterproof NEW! The practical LipCare one-hand mechanic is extremely easy to handle; - can be conveniently applied with one hand ? just move the slide at the back - the practical stick sits exceptionally well in your hands...

Review of Nivea Lip Care Sun

After sun and bath...

Advantages: Moisturising
Disadvantages: None

...Hawaiian tropic complete care after sun after bath I tend to buy a lot of the Hawaiian tropic products when we go abroad because i like the smell and they remind me of holidays spent in the sunshine. I had never tried this one before but decided it was worth a go because I have never had any problems with the products before. WHAT DOES IT DO? Since this doesn't just market itself as an after sun, but rather as complete body care, i am expecting something great from it, although even before I use it, I do expect it to be merely an after sun/moisturiser...not cynical, merely a realist. This is an after sun/after bath product so I believe that makes it the kind of product which can be used all year round as a body moisturiser, unless it is for after the bath when you have previously spent the day on the sun. I digress... the product...

Review of Hawaiian Tropic Complete Body Care After Sun

Sun, sea and wrinkles.

Advantages: Quick and easy.
Disadvantages: None really.

...Hasn`t the weather been great lately? Sun, sun and more sun, what possibly could be bad? It is important to remember to apply sun screen regularly, especially in this glorious weather. I have been using Clinique`s Sun-Care stick designed for lip and eye area. Why Use Sun Protection? * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Everyone is at risk of skin cancer which has been high profile lately so we are advised to cover up, not expose ourselves to too much mid day sun and use adequate sun protection. Another reason to avoid to much sun is that it can cause premature ageing. We can`t avoid getting old (unfortunately) despite various creams that promise the world. Instrinsic ageing is natural ageing, the type that is inevitable. Extrinsic ageing is caused by external causes and it exacerbates our natural ageing process...

Review of Clinique Sun-Care Lip/Eye SPF 30

The Sun also surprises

Advantages: Successful, professional, knows its market
Disadvantages: Brash, trivial, scurrilous, simplistic, self-congratulatory

...It is, I think, a good idea to confront one's prejudices from time to time, and it would be hard to be more prejudiced than I am against The Sun newspaper. I hardly ever see The Sun in the usual way of things, let alone read it, yet if you asked me to describe it I would have no difficulty in trotting out at least a dozen derogatory adjectives, the most polite of which you will see listed as "Cons" in the summary points above. The fact that The Sun is part of Rupert Murdoch's media empire only serves to redouble my bias against it. The trouble is that I'm such a sad case of bleeding-heart liberal that I'm not truly content to live with knowing I'm prejudiced. So when I saw that the Ciao competition for May was for reviews on sun-related topics, I decided it was time I bought a few issues of The Sun and made a serious attempt...

Review of The Sun

The Wisest Sun Care Choice

Advantages: It actually does what it says!!
Disadvantages: Bit pricey (though worth it)

...As a receptionist in a Health and Beauty Salon, I have had many a conservation about Sun Care products, and it appears that very few people are completely satisfied with what is available to us in Boots, Superdrug and Supermarkets. The trouble is, that the high prices mean finding the right product can be a very expenisve process. A £7 here, and a £4.99 here, everytime your last purchase has been disappointing, soon adds up, and I'm sure we can all think of something that money could have been spent on!! In the salon where I work, we stock Elemis products. Elemis retail products can only be purchased in a salon or similar outlet, so you won't find it Tesco's or Boots. Elemis have a Sun care range titled 'SunWise'. This range includes a good variety of products from basic Sun protection, to lip care and after care. As you...

Review of Elemis SunWise Range

Empire of the Sun

Advantages: Different and really visual
Disadvantages: Hard to appreciate

... Discovery As far as music goes, I love it all, I always find my taste varying as I discover new artists, I love rock, pop, hip hop, old and new, everything. Empire of the Sun is something really different. I discovered them about three or four months ago when one of the songs was played on the radio and I was desperate to hear more. I could not find out who they were and eventually the tune faded from my head, when I then stumbled across the song again I remembered as many words a possible and Googled the lyrics, found out who they were and bought their album from Amazon. Who are they? Empire of the Sun are an Australian duo who formed in 2007 but have only recently started coming out of the woodwork in Britain with some of their songs being played on the radio waves, and also more and more regularly their songs are...

Review of Walking On A Dream - Empire Of The Sun

Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun!

Advantages: The title track is a big hitter, great to see them still in action
Disadvantages: Very patchy quality, just not classic Placebo

...Placebo are a defiantly odd band, and always have been, sitting somewhere between flamboyant glam and angry punk posturing. Surfing in on the tail end of Britpop, they've defied the music press by remaining a going concern for six albums and about fifteen years. Probably, if we're being completely honest, because they've never raised their heads far enough above the parapet of popular culture to burn out like Oasis does every couple of years. Boasting more drummers than Spinal Tap, and the distinctive nasal mid-Atlantic vocals of Brian 'sex pixie' Molko, the band is, in the best tradition of UK middleweight rock groups, huge in Europe, and famous for generating publicity through spats with other bands. One of the most notorious being their run-in with Limp Biskit during a South American tour. But anyway. Battle For the Sun. Sixth...

Review of Battle For The Sun - Placebo

The Sun - I love 'The Sun' all year round!

Advantages: Great to read, lots of useful sections for the whole family, bargain at 30p!
Disadvantages: None

...The Sun is a national newspaper that is sold in England, Wales, Northern Ireland & The Republic of Ireland. It is also printed in quite a few European countries so that most people can get The Sun whilst away on their summer holidays although you normally pay quite handsomely for this privilege! Monday - Friday The Sun is 30p and 60p on Saturday. It is not printed on Sunday as it's sister paper 'The News Of The World' is printed instead. There is lots to the paper such as: Page 3 - Normally a topless girl complete with a little comment on one of the days news articles. Daily News - All the stories from the last 24 hours or so as well as updates on previous stories that they have followed in the paper. Sport - All the latest up to date sports information and this seems to cover everything from racing to football to cricket...

Review of The Sun

For optimistic UK sun lovers

Advantages: Nice smell, protects from sun well, cheap
Disadvantages: Needs to be re-applied quite often, not very good at making your lips less dry

..., Cetearyl Alcohol, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Titanium Dioxide, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane, C20-40 Alkyl Stearate, Cera Carnauba, Butyrospermum parkii, Buxus Chinensis, Tocopheryl Acetate, Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone, Cera Alba, Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Aluminum Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Parfum (Fragrance), CI 19140 (I'm sure someone out there understands this!) What I can tell you is that it contains Shea Butter and Vitamin E to help protect against sun burn and premature skin ageing. It is important to always use a lip care product with sun protection because otherwise the sun can trigger the herpes virus which causes unpleasant, painful cold sores. The actual lip balm goes on nicely, it is waterproof and it is SPF 25. It is yellow in colour but goes on leaving a bit of a white residue. It leaves your lips matt...
