Advantages: Convinient and very glossy
Disadvantages: quite a lot comes out in one go.

...Avon's colour twist lip gloss pen is a great invention for ladies on the move. No fiddling around with pots, or a stick which twists, and then falls out because you've twisted it too far! The colour twist pen has a twisting mechnism at one end and a brush at the other, with the colour of your choice in the middle. All you have to do is twist the end, and the gloss comes out on the brush. Simple brush over your lips - voila! Just don't twist too much, like I did the first time, or you might get a little more than your lips can take! The lip gloss pen comes in 6 colours at a cost of £5 each: Urban bliss Peach fuzz Smoulder Elixir Sunset Pucker Urban bliss is the only one I have tried so far. It has a subtle brown colour, and a long lasty glossy appearance. It makes your lips feel very smooth and smells gorgeous... Read review

...The Nokia N-gage was the first Nokia mobile phone, in fact any make of mobile phone to incorporate the usual bits and bobs of a mobile, with a hand held games console, and well they have done it well for a first try. Nokia are leading the way with new phone technology. They were the first phone company to have Bluetooth added to phones (along with Samsung). The Nokia N-Gage. Needless to say it didn't do all that well when first released as it was over advertised which led people to have expectation of the product and were then unsatisfied. But looking back at what it had to offer and trying one out myself it's pretty damn cool. ***************************************** The Features minus the gaming bits ***************************************** N-Gage has all the usual features of a mobile which I won't go into detail...

Advantages: Classic Australian Kid's TV which still amuses me now!
Disadvantages: Might not appeal as much to those who didn't watch it originally.

...With hubby out for the day I was left to my own devices and decided to have a trip down memory lane and put on "Round the Twist" series 2. Introduction to Round The Twist Round The Twist was an Australian children's TV programme, with the first series being made in 1989. I have many happy memories of watching the first series with my older brother, and although I was 8 and he was 19 we both enjoyed it. For a children's TV programme the humour is pretty dark at times, and that's why it appeals to all ages - you've got to love the Aussies! Round the Twist follows the lives of the Twist family - Mr Twist (Tony), a widower and his three children 13 year old twins Pete and Linda, and younger son Bronson (aged 8). In series 1 the family moved to Port Niranda to live in a lighthouse, little did they know that a whole... Read review

Advantages: Absolutely banging
Disadvantages: none

...I'm amazed that no-one has written a review on this CD yet....and as you can probably guess.......I love Hed Kandi it really is music you can listen to anytime and anywhere. The Twisted Disco series of releases (as I said in my previous Hed Kandi review) are easily my favourites as I prefer my house music to be a little like me........deep, bangin, dirty and rough around the edges!! ha What you get with this CD is pretty much in the title "Twisted Disco", what they do is take some well known, and some not-so well known dance tracks or vocal remixes, strip them down, take off the shiney edges and drop in a dirty beat. The track of the CD for me is number 10 on CD 1. It is a remix of the Eric Prydz Vs Pink Floyd hit "Proper Education". The track has been mixed by a guy called Sebastian Ingrosso. The CD also includes a cool... Read review

Advantages: Massive internal memory with option to expand, large 2.8" display, wi-fi support, 5 MP camera
Disadvantages: Same battery as n95, annoying camera button, no light sensor or integrated graphics chip

...button on the side has been relocated onto the front of the phone in the form of a small silver oval button to the right of the D-pad. The headphone socket has been relocated to the top of the phone, presumably for easier access for the headphones when the phone is placed in your pocket etc. The phone now also includes an ipod like lock switch which can be used to lock and unlock the phone, this is a really useful feature for quick unlocking and locking of the phone. The infra-red port on the phone has been removed but like the original n95 it does retain its memory card slot, this is also backed up with the mass amounts of memory within the phone itself - 16GB. The Mini USB at the bottom of the phone has now been replaced with a Micro USB but the phone still retains the same charger as in all n-series phones. The main buttons on the front... Read review

Advantages: A brilliant début album of rock n roll excellence.
Disadvantages: Dear Superstar are not as successful as they should be.

...better, the band cracks into the awesome duo of songs 'What You Want' and 'Submission.' At the point when things are coming to an end and you're expecting the album to wind down a bit, the band continues to impress and blast through another impressive pair of tracks. Both of these have a hefty bite and of course the trademark Dear Superstar killer chords. The band just never fails to impress, taking every opportunity possible to blast out another display of ballsy sleaze rock n roll gold. Lyrically and musically, this band really do have something special going on and that is as clear as day throughout the entirety of this album. There are ten tracks here and not one of them is in the slightest bit disappointing, all of the tracks here present are excellent in every sense and with this 'Confessions Of A Twisted Mind' album Dear Superstar prove...

Advantages: Looks great, excellent features, very stable
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive, no other disadvantages

...The Socket 939 Athlon 64 processor is a fairly new technology, and has been available for about six months now. Many people are reluctant to upgrade, either because they have a good enough system already, or they cannot afford the jump to 939 pin technology. The MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum is a motherboard which supports 939 pin Athlon processors. I bought it about 2 months ago for £90, and you can get it now for about £80. The following review will explain every detail of this motherboard, to make it more understandable by you. There will also be a brief explanation of what '939 pin' is. [FEATURES] The K8N is full of features, and I will try my best to explain them in detail for you. [Chipset]: nForce3 Ultra The Chipset of a motherboard is a set of main features manufactured by a seperate company, in this case, nVidia, who... Read review

Advantages: looks good, camera/video features
Disadvantages: no vibrate mode

.... Nokia also included more advanced imaging functionality such as autofocus and a macro mode in the N90 than that of any other in the N-series . The built-in flash can be set to either on/off, automatic or red eye reduction modes, with users also able to adjust brightness and white balance. Pictures can be taken in resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 pixels, however the N90 is also able to record video in CIF format at 352 x 288 pixels, the quality of which is impressive - and even more so when viewed on the high resolution screen of the N90. It is a 2 mega pixel camera, roughly 113mm x 51mm x 24mm in size. When twisting the screen sideways photography mode is switched on which will allow you to create videos and stills. You may take stills with the flip closed, however, in this mode videos can't be taken. It features an integrated flash, making... Read review

Advantages: Handy little snack
Disadvantages: Expensive, not enough dippas

...I noticed Tesco were selling new dairylea dunkers that were salt'n'vinegar twists! When I was little my favourite crisps were helter skelters and the picture on the tubs show a similar twist with some dairylea on it! It costs £1.39 for 4! You usually buy them in the fridge section of Tesco's and in the cheese aisle I got them home and stuck them in the fridge for one or 2 days before I remembered about them! It comes in a little tub with a foil covering which keeps it fresh! There is a little bit for the dairylea cheese. There is roughly enough cheese to allow you to make a sandwich! It comes with about 10 crisps. The crisps are twisty and taste very vinegary. Not too much salt flavouring! These wouldn't be suitable if you don't like salt and vinegar or have a dairy intolerance! They wouldn't be suitable if you... Read review

Advantages: A fantastic high resolution screen, WiFi capability, Swiss Army Knife gadgetry.
Disadvantages: Small screen relative to it's talents, Disappointing battery performance, Slider quality.

...upon periodic checks. This leaves me questioning how business useable the handset really is despite that sector being the N80 IE's intended market. Finally, I am not sure of the slider on other N80s but the handset that I'm reviewing seems to have a slider mechanism that leaves me questioning it's build quality somewhat. The actual phone feels solid and durable but the sliding hinge seems oddly loose. Good job the mechanism locks at both ends of the rails then! To summarize, the N80 is a solid performing handset full of useful tricks all wrapped in a relatively sensible digital interface and a no nonsense aesthetic. It performs none of it's tricks in an amazing fashion but certainly ticks all the convenience boxes in good steed. Just watch out for the battery life...... Read review
