For the sensitive!

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...I have sensitive dry skin so have to be very careful about what products I use. When it comes to cleansing my face I really like to use water as I feel I have actually washed, unlike when I use cleansing creams! I have tried several products that claim to be for sensitive skins over the years but have found many of these leave my skin feeling dry and tight at best and sometimes I have been left with a red irritated skin. I was given a bottle of Elemis sensitive cleansing wash by a close friend who also has sensitive skin and finds this perfect for her skin. Elemis sensitive cleansing wash is not cheap. It retails for around £18 for a 200 ml bottle, although it is worth shopping around as prices vary. It is available from many beauty salons or from John Lewis. So is it worth the cost? Elemis sensitive cleansing skin wash comes in...

Review of Elemis Sensitive Cleansing Wash

For safe fun in the sun

Advantages: Great protection, easy to use, good price
Disadvantages: Bottle design

...Its something of a common mistake that people make about a sun tan: "A glowing sun tan looks healthy!". They aren't healthy. Infact, if you are tanned at all you've just done permanent damange to your skin and increased your risks of skin cancer significantly. Lots of people just dismiss this as scientists trying to ruin everyone's fun but they are correct. A sun tan will damage your skin and potentially your health! Sorry to be so serious and abrupt but people dont seem to be getting the message, especially in the glorious weather we've been having this summer (2003). I am rather prone to burning in the sun and so I tend to buy quite a lot of sun creams. Over the past few years I have been fairly disappointed with the major brands like Nivea et al as their sun creams dont seem to offer any decent protection any more - not to...

Review of Boots Soltan Sun Sensitive Skin

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

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

Lovely wash for sensitive skin

Advantages: Lovely texture and fragrance; quick to use
Disadvantages: I prefer a separate eye makeup remover

...I am always on the lookout for products that don't irritate my sensitive skin, yet I don't want to miss out on the luxury skincare experience! In this respect I have enjoyed using several Elemis products. I was a little wary at first as using water on my skin can lead to dryness and that itchy tight feeling and some facial washes can feel harsh, however I found this product very soothing and a pleaure to use. The product comes in a pump dispenser which is very convenient to use. Just a couple of pumps added to a little warm water in the palm of your hand and you are left with a lovely light creamy lather. It smells very pleasant and not at all overpowering. I would say a man or a woman could use this product as the packaging and fragrance are not overtly feminine. It is also great to use as your facial cleanser while in the shower...

Review of Elemis Sensitive Cleansing Wash

For sensitive doggies

Advantages: Almost all natural biscuit, Great for meals or treats
Disadvantages: No online ordering, a bit pricey for some varieties

...INTRODUCTION I actually stumbled across Vitalin through one of the online freebie sites, I can't remember which one but it was through Google. I've had my one year old Jack Russell, Dexter, for a month or so now, from Dogs Trust. They advised he had a slightly sensitive tummy and he had an alternative dry brand dog food mixed with meat. I was given a bag by Dogs Trust but this ran out swiftly (within a week) and the brand was expensive. I decided to look through Google to find a sensitive dry dog food. ABOUT VITALIN As I have mentioned, I came across a freebie site which offered a link to Vitalin Pet Foods for a free sample, free being a favourite word of mine, I opted to try the Dog sensitive and complete Cat varieties, you can choose 2 samples to be sent to you and you get within days, a 100g pack of the dry product...

Review of Vitalin Lamb & Rice Sensitive Diet

Sticky Situation For Sensitive Skin

Advantages: Protects for 24H, great for sensitive skin and leaves armpits feeling soft.
Disadvantages: Goes on sticky.

...Lately, due to an itchy skin problem caused by an allergy to limonene and linalool chemicals contained in just about everything that possesses a citrus scent, I have been clearing out my cupboards of all ?contaminated? items and have come to the conclusion that I can either rejoice at the space that?s been gained? or shed tears at the knowledge that I will have to replace everything I?ve been chucking out! My step-daughter will be chuffed, to say the least, when she inherits the latest in cosmetics, shampoos, conditioners, face and body creams/lotions, body scrubs, hand creams, shower gels and bubble bath, and the list goes on. My latest acquisition, Sanex Dermo Sensitive Anti-Perspirant, has taken the place usually reserved for my beloved Sure... a place that is shaky at best because I?m not actually impressed. Fist things...
