Advantages: Moral Theme (Courage, Valiance, Love, Power of good to overcome evil destiny)
Disadvantages: Too much focus on female prototypes (mother, daughter, good fairies, evil witch fairy)

...Disney's "Sleeping Beauty" is a classical movie that revives both Grimm's Story and Tchaikovsky's musical at the same time.

Advantages: Wonderful songs, great animation
Disadvantages: More for the girls!

...A beautiful Disney film. I have to say, I could really feel the Disney magic and charm when I watched this film. I absolutely love it, it is a timeless classic. It has a wonderful soundtrack which was adapted from the Tchaikovsky score and classic Disney songs that everyone knows the words to! The story revolves around the Princess Aurora, who at her birth receives presents from the good fairies of wit and beauty, but the wicked fairy who is angry at not being invited to the birth puts an enchantment on the Princess that she will prick her finger on a spindle on reaching adulthood and die. Although the spell can't be reversed, the good fairies manage to alter the spell so that she won't die, but fall in to a deep sleep until awoken by the kiss of a Prince. Of course, she pricks her finger on a spindle, despite the Kingdom burning... Read review

Advantages: Has all the old-fashioned romantic charm
Disadvantages: Villain might be a little too scary for kids

...Sleeping Beauty is probably my favourite Disney cartoon of all time. Some people might find it a tad bit old fashioned but that is what makes the movie so beautiful. In honour of their newborn daughter, King Stephen and his Queen had invited the whole kingdom and guests from distant lands to a feast in their castle. Unfortunately, they struck Maleficent, a witch, out of their VIP list. Suffering from a bruised ego, Maleficent decided to gatecrash the party and put a curse on the baby. Before Princess Aurora reaches her 16th birthday, she will die by a prick from a poisoned spinning wheel. Luckily for the royal couple, they had invited 3 good fairies - Flora, Fauna and Merryweather. Although their magic are no match for the witch, they were able to lessen the blow. Aurora won't die from the prick. She would, however, fall into a deep... Read review

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: none apart from hard to open loll

...Well you are going to start seeing quite a few reviews of Barbie products from me, as my as my daughter has quite a collection, every time she sees something Barbie I have to buy it. So when she asked for this doll how could I refuse? The doll came neatly packaged, and very presentable; the only problem I had was with getting the doll out of the box loll. Now I know that sounds stupid, but the amount of things they tie them to the box with is very frustrating, it took me about 15 minutes just to get everything out loll. So in the box the doll came complete in a beautiful long dress, also wearing a tiara. The box also came complete with a tiara for my daughter to wear, and also a classical music cd that has never been played loll. My daughter loves this doll, and will play with it for hours, she loves brushing her hair, and just... Read review

Advantages: Easy to blend, natural looking, lightweight, gives skin a healthy glow
Disadvantages: No SPF, only comes in 5 shades, takes ages to set

...Sleep Effect is one of the first ones (out of 21) that has a shade that suits me. There are three reasons why have been looking for a new foundation (apart from curiosity). Firstly I decided last year that I would be better off with an oil free foundation. I have oily skin and I hoped an oil free foundation would combat the issue I have with shine and my foundation melting, and hopefully stop me from having breakouts. Secondly I am getting married next May and I need a foundation that will last all day without sliding off, will cover all my imperfections and generally make me look perfect but at the same time natural (quite a big ask). And thirdly, and currently the most urgent reason, L'Oreal have discontinued Translucide, so I have to find a replacement whether I like it or not. This is not as easy as it sounds because I have very pale... Read review

Advantages: smoothing, awakening, good texture..everything for me!
Disadvantages: only 5 colours mean it's not the right shade for everyone

...with that caked on effect - it's very much improving rather than totally covering. It made my skin feel soft, and very smooth - I do have the odd blemish but it in no way made them appear worse than they are, as is the case with some foundations. Removal: I just use face wash, it comes off easily - I'm sure the same would apply to those using liquid cleanser or a face wipe. A quick story: At my old Saturday job I used to start at midday. This is by no means early but believe me, if your me and you've had a heavy night you tend to look slightly rough whatever time it is! My supervisor often used to comment on this look that I had going (also known as, I don't care, I only get paid £3.81 an hour, I don't need to look good). Anyway, one Saturday when I'd just got this foundation, I'd not gone to sleep till around 6 that morning. The perfect... Read review
