A Very Unique Product

Advantages: Lightwieght,easy to apply and can be used as an emergancy radiance boost
Disadvantages: Initially fairly expensive, can smell if not looked after properly

...them from smelling. The bacteria on your skin can manifest in the brush and cap and this does cause the product to smell less then appealing- it has happened to both myself, my mother and my friends and when we took them to the counter from which we bought them, this was the course of action recommended to us and it seemed to work. Recommendation I would certainly recommend Touche Éclat, but do not expect it to be a miracle cure for under-eye dark circles. This product is unique and I have never found anything else on the market that can give such wonderful luminescence without containing shiny, metalic or pearlised particles. It works very well as a highlighter- I often use it on cheekbones and find that it gives a much more natural look than Lancôme’s Maquisuperbe and such products which tend to leave a rather robotic metal...

Review of Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat (Radiant Touch)

Toni and Guy's student hairdressing

Advantages: free or cheap haircuts by academy students
Disadvantages: no choice- took ages to grow back to normal length wearing a headscarf most of the time

...I was an alien. A few people said "You had your hair cut- it looks so different- wow." He demanded I go back another time to be photographed for his final examination. He had not mentioned this at the preliminary cutting. His teacher did not pass him on the haircut- said one side was shorter than the other and insisted he shorten the other and even out the length all over. I decided that I would never never go to another hairdressing salon. It took many months (wearing a headscarf in as many variations of style as I could) for me to go out and feel confident about my hair. It has always taken ages to grow since I had it cut when I was 15 from waist length to shoulder length. Although my experience of this student was something I will never forget, it has not prevented either of my teenage daughters from going to the academy to be...

Review of The Vidal Sasoon School Of Hairdressing

Colchester Hairdressers

Advantages: They know what THEY want
Disadvantages: Do not listen to the customer.

...I went to the hairdressers today....which now I regret AGAIN! I used to live in Leicester, the hairdressers I used there was brillant in doing what the customer wanted. I would go in with a couple of pictures and my hair was done almost exactly as the pictures were. I went every 6 weeks or so for years and never had a complaint with them. Then a couple of years ago I moved to Colchester, BAD HAIR MOVE! I must point out first, my hair is thin but naturally curly and at the time long. went to three different hairdressers over the first few years just for a tidy up with not much of a problem except they did not seem to know about scrunch drying, but it was ok as the cut was ok. My sister suggested going to a bigger named salon like I did in Lecester, so I went to Tony and Guy. I showed them pictures as I want the style...

Review of Regis Hairdressers

Nintendo Wii is a truly unique gaming experience

Advantages: Intuative gaming experience, accessible to a variety of gamers, plenty of extra features.
Disadvantages: Will have to look slightly harder to compensate for the hardcore nintendo fans

...It is no surprise that Nintendo currently have one of the most successful computer game products out there right now. It appeals to a vast audience including children, teenagers and adults alike - something which has never quite been acheived in the computer gaming world before. Not only this, but it is arguably the most revolutionary and unique entertainment system, a view bolstered by the overwhelming presence the Wii has in the computer game market. But what is so unique about the Wii? The Wii is not like any consoles before it. The most striking feature is the lack of a standard handeheld controller. The use of a " wiimote ", or a wireless handheld remote that is used as a pointer to play games with is extremely intuative and easy to use, whilst allowing a more immersive gaming experience. Wether you will be swinging a simulated...

Review of Nintendo Wii

Unique!

Advantages: Beautiful bottle, beautiful smell
Disadvantages: VERY pricey!

...I was actually looking for a gift for someone else when the bottle of this caught my eye. I couldn't help wondering what something in a bottle *that* pretty would smell like! I'm usually not a big fan of "designer" perfumes, but this totally changed my mind! I really dislike samey, girly, flowery fragrances that seem to be everywhere - I prefer really unique scents that arn't too feminine (or too masculine) and that last, but arn't overbearing - I didn't think they existed until I found this! It really does smell like something that could have come from another world! It's quite an exotic smell - almost like really high-quality incense, but with a very clean, sharp edge. There wasn't any one thing I could think of that smells like it - a few other people have suggested Jasmine, amber and violets - but I can't say I noticed any...

Review of Thierry Mugler Alien Eau De Parfum Spray for Her

Horror at the hairdresser's!

Advantages: Fun to read, author doesn't take himself too seriously
Disadvantages: The suspense of disbelief goes a little too far this time...

...When Carole is forced to change her hairdresser to a more local one, she doesn't expect to become involved in another murder. Yet involved she does become when she witnesses the owner find her assistant, Kyra, dead in the back room. The obvious suspect is Kyra's boyfriend, Nathan, who just happens to have gone missing. Carole and her friend and sleuthing partner, Jude, become involved in the investigation, and get to know Nathan's family a bit better than they would have liked; certainly they suspect that they may know more about Nathan's disappearance than they are lettingon. They also make contact with Kyra's former boss, who she was planning to sue for sexual harrassment and her strict, elderly father who didn't approve of Kyra having a boyfriend. As the list of suspects grows, can Carole and Jude find out the truth without becoming...

Review of Death Under the Dryer - Simon Brett

Something Unique

Advantages: Women comment on it, Longevity
Disadvantages: Not for everyday use

...Aqua Di Gio is packaged in a white box with grey labelling. The bottle (which is very solid & sturdy) consists of frosted glass (again with grey labelling) and a silver top. A simple yet pleasant looking design, which I think understates the fragrance inside it! Compared to other fragrances I've tried I've found this very different. Other fragrances I?ve used in the past (such as ?Joop?) tend to be too fruity and overly citrus, making them extremely sharp. However Aqua?s citrus elements in combination with the other elements give it something of a unique smell. Initially you do get a 'hit' of cool citrus but this is quickly followed up with underlying tones of rosemary, spiciness, jasmine and a hint of wood. Yet the fragrance still manages to be light in character and not as heavy as other men?s fragrances such as ?Cool Water...

Review of The Vidal Sasoon School Of Hairdressing

Beware of the HAIRDRESSING SCAM

Advantages: Well I'm still alive and bear no physical scars
Disadvantages: How long have you got??

...Well it?s a good thing they took the word ?gullible? out of the dictionary is all I can say. I?d hate to have to use such a word to insult my wee sister, but just look at the evidence?. Here in Edinburgh (as in many cities, I?m guessing) we have a plague currently inhabiting our main shopping thoroughfare ? albeit a very attractive plague. The deal is this: A good looking, trendy young bloke (or occasionally, a girl) stops you and asks you where you get your hair cut. Flattered by this rather glamorous young mans attention, you are supposed to go all fawny and start getting into a conversation with him. Once he?s managed to make you feel all relaxed and lovely about yourself, he proceeds to bash you on the head with his sales pitch. His product is a hairdressing loyalty card, offering massive discounts at a city salon. Currently...

Review of Buyer Beware! (urgent warnings about products/services to avoid at all costs)

Uniquely low prices!

Advantages: easy to use, low price, free delivery
Disadvantages: no email confirmation to advise items have been dispatched

...On a trip to the hairdresser a while back, she used a particular Redken product (All Soft Velvet Whip if you're wondering) on my hair that left it feeling amazingly soft. I was very impressed but held back on purchasing it, because I had other things I needed to buy at the time which were more of a priority. About a month ago I finally decided to make the purchase, and did a search for the best price online. Feelunique.com offered the best value at just £13.10 whereas Hqhair were charging £15.35. Not a huge saving you might think, but one big difference is that feelunique offer free postage, which I think makes this extra good value. Of course, since I was on the site, I decided to have a browse and see if there were any other bargains to be had! The site sells a large range of beauty products, and they are mainly salon brands...
