A review of nivea's great talc which brought back memories LOL

Advantages: Great product, smells nice
Disadvantages: Can be messy, puffs into your eyes if you forget and hold it to close to your face

...PACKAGING This comes in a large white bottle with a dark blue lid which you twist around to release the talc. There is only two colors present on it, those being blue and white and white being the main one. On the front of the bottle you will see "NIVEA" written in big white letters and below that you will see the word's "Pure Fine Talc" and finally at the very bottom of the lable you will see written " Fine powder for soft smooth skin". I find the bottle to be very plain and lacking in any color or anything that would encourage me to buy it appearance ways. On the back there is another lable that says the same things that it says on the front and it also says "Lightly fragranced, Nivea Pure Talc, will absorb moisture leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth. Then there is a part below that with instructions which tell you...

Review of Nivea Talcum powder

Gives Johnson's a run for they're money!

Advantages: Cheaper than Johnsons, with no quality decreases
Disadvantages: Talcum powder may not be for everyone.

...Cussons baby Talcum Powder You may have heard of the Cussons Imperial leather brand before, well this is they're talcum powder for babies. It's in a white bottle with a blue lid and a picture of a baby on the front. Underneath it say's "Dries and softens even the most delicate skin". Talcum powder does have mixed feelings when a report suggested that babies were more likely to get asthma through they're parents using talcum powder. When I became a parent myself I originally decided to avoid Talcum powder. However after a few weeks of Isabella being born I realized she had chafing marks and was getting a little nappy rash. Sudocreme helped a little but didn't make a massive difference. Therefore I tried putting a little talc in her nappy and rubbling around the top of her legs to stop chafing. This seemed to work. I used Johnson...

Review of Cussons Imperial Leather Talcum Powder

FIT FOR NOBILITY!

Advantages: Good quality, well priced, lovely scent.
Disadvantages: None in my opinion

...Review of Imperial Leather Talcum Powder Imperial Leather is a well known brand from the Cussons stable, which has been popular in the UK for many, many years. The Imperial Leather range includes bar soap, shower gels, shower foams, bath soaks and talcum powder to name but a few. The range includes various fragrances from the original fresh Imperial Leather to more exotic, oriental floral scents. It is the 300g Original talc that I am reviewing. **The Product, Packaging, Fragrance, Cost and Availability** Talcum powder is one of those products that seem to have fallen a little out of favour in recent years as consumers have embraced body lotions, skin conditioners, body butters and similar products that seem to line our bathrooms. Personally, I like talc, I find it cooling and soothing to the skin, refreshing after a shower...

Review of Imperial Leather Talcum Powder

ALL WHITE, ALL WHITE, ALL WHITE

Advantages: Gentle, reasonably priced
Disadvantages: Could still irritate the very sensitive

...There is no denying it ? this is going to be a very white opinion! For a change I don?t mean white wine either! This time I?m writing about a very white product, in white packaging which makes you all, well, white! Baby powder to be precise, and that bathroom mainstay Johnsons? baby powder ? found in many homes whether or not there are young children resident. I have used other brands ? such as Superdrug and Tesco ? and they seem to differ very little. They all come in the same predominantly white packaging and vary slightly in price by a few pence here and there. I didn?t use talc of any kind for many years ? I have very dry skin and a very sensitive nose and found that most talcum powders contributed to both problems. They would either dry my skin out all the more and/or start my sneezing manically as soon as the particles...

Review of Johnson's Talcum Powder

A cheap and not so cheerful pressed powder!

Advantages: Cheao and it does make the skin feel soft
Disadvantages: No visible results apart from a powdery look

...of application you prefer. The powder is set and there's alot in this compact and when you sweep a sponge or brush over the powder you don't have to scrub at it or anything and it comes off easily. Applying it is a little more difficult though. Although I found it to clung to my brush I found it to really saturate my face in powder no matter how careful I am. I had to work hard to blend it in and when I had my face still managed to look a bit talcum powdery and no matter how much I tried to blend it in the finish was a little fake opposed to natural. I did find it to cover greasy areas of my skin well (such as my t-zone) but those results were short lived and when I went over those areas to re matt them back down after wearing it a while the powder went clumpy looking on my skin. It didn't help to conceal my skin imperfections at all and I felt...

Review of Boots Natural Collection Pressed Powder

Funky powder

Advantages: Good gift idea and lovely shimmer
Disadvantages: tad expensive if bought at RRP

...Gimlet The Urban Decay products are often for sale in my local chemist at vastly reduced prices, and when I bought this, I didn't know what it was, but costing only £1, it would have been rude not to buy it and give it a go!! THE PACKAGING Being a sucker for packaging, this is quite funky. It's a sort of iridescent lime green tube with a tassle on the top. It' advertised as "sparkling, scented sexy lickable touch fragrant treat glistening irresistible kissable tasty pucker glows naughty". All of this marketing advise is written at the bottom of the tube, so given that it promised so much, who was I to refuse? Open up the top of the tube, peel off the protective covering and there is a talcum powder style plastic covering, presumably so that it doesn't all come out in a rush. There is also a rather nifty little leopard...

Review of Urban Decay Dusting Powder

Powder Puff Girls

Advantages: Cheaper than other brands, Flawless, Matt Finish
Disadvantages: Out of stock a lot!

...***WHY THIS POWDER?*** I'm not one of these girls who will spend huge amounts of money on make-up and certainly not just on one product. This range is Boots on brand which is called 17. Its very reasonable priced, at £3.49 for pressed powder. There's so much make up to choose from nowadays and this stood out. I also have used the liquid foundation and got on extremely wll with it so thought I would give this powder a try as well. ***ABOUT THE POWDER*** The powder costs £3.49 for 10g and comes in 3 colours/shades which are Nicely Natural, Delicate Beige and Transcluent. I always go for the Nicely Natural which also matches the liquid foundation which I buy from this range. It comes in a metallic black case with silver writing and when you open it up, it comes with a mirror in the lid and round puff, which you can use to apply...

Review of Clinique Super Double Face Powder

At last the powder Zanussi recommend

Advantages: Fresh smell , clothes exceptionally clean , goes a long way ,better for my machine
Disadvantages: More expensive than some , may be harsh on some fabrics

...************************** BACKGROUND ************************* Over nearly 34 years of married life I have used loads of different washing powders . Initially I had a twin - tub machine. At the time these were the bees knees and everybody used them . Looking back god were they a pain . We moved on like everyone else to an automatic machine and felt the shackles loosen a bit . Dramatic eh but sort of true. I have always swapped about with washing powders usually buying one from a reputable brand , but that was on the best pricing offer . Over the last few years I have found I cannot always use the cheapest . I don't know what they have added but lots of them make me itch . Particularly Surf or Daz . I had settled for Bold as I liked the smell . not a bad wash , good price and no itchiness . A few months ago my...
