Sun, Sea and Sunnies

Advantages: Will not leak in your bag
Disadvantages: Dry out easily and not cheap.

...,000 people are affected by skin cancer each year in Britain, and at least 2% will die as a result. But it was not till the 80's that it was realised suncreams helped prevent damage to our skin and not till the 90's that it was proved by scientists. However with all this knowledge now, How many of you are careful about making sure you never go out without protection. Children are most at risk from the sun as their bodies don't produce melanin which helps protect the skin from the UV rays. How many times have you let the kids go out and play without thinking of their skin? I know I have. And I am even worse with myself. But sometimes putting on suncream, especially on wriggly children who are just eager to play is such a bind so when Pampers brought out these Sunnies wipes I was delighted. ~~~~What are they?~~~~ Pampers Sunnies wipes are...

Review of Pampers Sunnies

Give skin radiance with Moon Beam

Advantages: Lovely colour, easy to apply, can be used any time
Disadvantages: Expensive, goes off quite quickly

...I got this as a present from my friend about a year ago and after forgetting it existed for a few months but then finding it and using it again recently I thought I would review it. I've had a look on the official site and found out it sells for £15.50 for the 13ml bottle and I know you can get Benefit stuff from most Boots or Debenhams stores. I thought it was a really interesting present and quite unique which is typical of Benefit who are quite an innovative brand always coming up with original ideas. I'm not aware that I had seen any products like it anywhere else when I got it and even now I've not seen many similar things. Packaging... The packaging, as with all the Benefit products is gorgeous making it ideal as a present. It comes in a peach coloured box with 'moon beam' written on the front in big nice lettering...

Review of BeneFit Moon Beam

Beam me up!

Advantages: Glowy but not glittery, a little goes a long way, glow lasts all day
Disadvantages: Pricetag seems steep but well worth it

...Benefit cosmetics are my new love. Kitsch products that actually work, yes they may be a little more expensive than my bank balance would like, but I do believe in some cases, with make up especially, you do get what you pay for. I first tried High Beam as part of the Realness of Concealness set which I bought after reading mureviews4u's excellent review (you should go read it!). The set includes a little bottle of High Beam, and I loved it so much I soon chose to buy a bigger bottle so I could save what was left of the little one for carting about in the set. THE PRODUCT High Beam is a "satiny pink highlighter" as Benefit put it, which when blended into the skin creates a dewy, radiant look. While it will suit most skin tones, there is a variation called Moon Beam which is considered more suitable for darker or olive skin...

Review of BeneFit High Beam

Beam me up

Advantages: Subtle but noticeable; enhances a tan; enhances cheekbones
Disadvantages: none

...The sun's shining, the flowers are blooming and it looks like the good weather has finally arrived, and with it has appeared a vast sea of pasty white limbs- a look the Brtish public do so well! Luckily for me, I have a whole arsenal of tricks up my sleeve to make sure I don't succumb to the ghostly look- fake tans, bronzers, and my most subtle weapon of all, Benefit's Moon Beam. But don't be fooled by its subtlety- this is great stuff and it graces the faces of many a celebrity (Jennifer Lopez, Britney and Kylie are apparently big fans) ---About the product--- Moon Beam is basically a highlighter and is the sister product of High Beam (great for those with really pale skin) and it looks like liquid gold in a pot! Benefit have combined hints of pink and gold shimmery sparkles to emphasise your lovely tan and bring out those model...

Review of Benefit Moon Beam

high beam

Advantages: the best
Disadvantages: n/a

...High Beam is one of the greatest products that i have in my make up bag and i do not know what i would do without it. High Beam is a pink highlighter and it is used for all skin tones and you can blend it all over your complexion on it's own or you could mix it in with you moisturiser with a all over subtle glow to your face. High Beam is easy to use, if you put it on the top of your cheekbone with the brush applicator that comes with your high beam and then with your fingertips it hightlights the cheek and gives it a suble glow. It is the finishing touch to my make up and i would never go for a night out without it. It retails at around £15.50 and it is well worth it, mine lasts me around a year so when you average it out it is a bargain. Definately one to recommend i think this is ideal for anyones make up bag....

Review of BeneFit High Beam

HIGH BEAM ...

Advantages: makes a 'dewy' effect, easy to apply.
Disadvantages: rubs off make-up underneath, expensive, may not suit all skin tones.

...I'm a recent Benefit addict: I pretty much have bought the whole Benefit collection in the past 3 days! One prouduct that firstly got my attention was 'High Beam' -- a highlighter which can be applied to the cheekbones, brow bone, or all over the face. Actually it can be applied anywhere! (Well...maybe not EVERYWHERE...lol) PACKAGING:- The packaging was fairly plain, just a light pink box with the words 'High Beam' written in black. It didn't catch my eye in the shop, I'd read about it on a website so I searched for it. I probably wouldn't have noticed it if I'd just walked in the shop and knew nothing about it. PRICE:- High beam sells for rougly £15 in most stores (I got mine from Debenhams). It is VERY expensive for a item of make-up...I tend to buy stuff by Maybelline which is much cheaper. But I think it's worth it...

Review of BeneFit High Beam

Beaming like a goddess

Advantages: lasts ages, miracle in a bottle
Disadvantages: price

...Not sure exactly when I came across this product, vaguely remember hearing that Kylie used it, so if it was good enough for kylie... lol........... Well, seriously now, it was my sister Kim that first introduced me to it properly. We were having a chat in her bedroom and I was rooting through her make up trunk ( its true, even boots are jealous at her make up collection!!) being nosey and seeing what she had that I'd not seen when I came across this small glass bottle. At first glance I thought it was a nail varnish as the bottle design is very similar to that of a nail varnish. I can still see the horror in her eyes when I took the lid of and was just about to paint my nails with the stuff!! High beam is a highlighting magic potion in a bottle. It is used to highlight areas of your body that you would like to be noticed. It is...

Sunshining? then use sunnies!

Advantages: easy to apply, no bottles that leak, quick and easy
Disadvantages: your hands turn white, they are expensive and can tend to dry out

...So, ok we haven't really seen the sunshine yet and our normal summer is over, but i write this just in case the weather forecasters somehow manage to predict correctly that we do get an Indian summer!! My son is your average normal toddler won't keep still for more than five seconds at a time. I'm sure you can imagine the mess we get into if i decide to put suntan cream on him whilst we're down the beach... all the sand is such a distraction to the poor lad and protecting his skin doesn't seem to be at the top of his priorities. Surprise Surprise! So in come Sunnies to save the day, and my patience! Ok so what are they I hear you ask. They are wipes, same size and texture of a baby wipe (think johnsons not huggies for them mums in the know), the main difference with sunnies is that they contain suntan lotion. Factor 30 suntan...

Review of Pampers Sunnies

Sunny Protection

Advantages: Easy to apply. Convenient
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Summer is upon us again and both my children arrived home from school with letters requesting that each child be supplied wtih suncream for use at break times. Due to the latest health and safety rules, the teahers are not supposed to administer the sun cream to children themselves (although I'm sure they would if a child was struggling). For my older child, who is 7, this wasn't a problem, I simply supplied hm with a small bottle of sun lotion and made him promise to apply it every break time. However, I had visions of my younger child of 4 years struggling with a bottle of sun lotion and ending up with more of it on her clothes and hair than on her skin. So I set off to try and find a sun screen with a more convenient applicator. THE PRODUCT ****************** I discovered Pampers Sunnies is our local Wilkinsons store...

Review of Pampers Sunnies

* Sunny Delicious *

Advantages: Orange and lime a lovely combo and nice price
Disadvantages: Too much can turn you yellow

...Sunny Delight Florida Style I bought this when I had tonsillitis. I chose the one with the no added sugar although I do prefer the one with the sugar but since I was sick. I decided to try and be health. Sunny Delight was invented in 1964 by Doric Foods. Sunny Delight sometimes called Sunny D started to expand in California and they built two more plants to cope with the demand. Doric Foods were taken over by Sundor Brands in 1983 and in the March of 1989, Sundor Brands were taken over by Proctor and Gamble, who still own Sunny Delight and many other brands that we use today. P&G expanded Sunny Delight even more by adding different flavours and making the bottles in different sizes. Sunny D has a variety of different flavours and different sizes. The two most common flavours are Florida Style, which has a Tangy flavour...
