The Dove vs. Nivea Wash-Off

Advantages: Moisturizes some, cleans fine, good lather, not overly strong scent
Disadvantages: Not refreshing enough, slippery bottle with a top opening

...a huge refill in Frankfurt which will keep me in suds for some time to come), I was wondering why exactly I would even use this Dove product. Well, let?s compare the two and find out which one comes up a winner. ~~Putting You On~~ There is absolutely no difference between these two products in the area of application. Both the Nivea and the Dove require the approximate same amount of product on a flannel or sponge or puff to get a good lather. I also can?t seem to see any difference in the textures of these two products. Both are a good deal thinner than the Dove Ultra Moisturizing Bath Wash, but they also aren?t so runny as to not stay mostly in your hand - if that?s the way you use them. Score - Love All ~~Rinse Cycle~~ Here?s where I find the first difference. When I rinse off the Nivea Shower Gel I find that my skin feels...

Review of Dove Refreshing Hydro Body Wash

A Little Off

Advantages: A decent enough idea
Disadvantages: Poorly executed

...Apparently, Clare Curzon has been writing for many years and has published more than 40 books, but "Off Track" was the first time I had come across her work. Unfortunately, the experience hasn't really encouraged me to read any of her other books. Lee Barber is a train driver who has plans until one night he overshoots a station and is reported by a passenger. A few nights later, Lee comes across the man he believes reported him and, his mind muddled by drink, attacks him. It soon transpires, however, that the man he has attacked was instead a disgruntled biological scientist, who is on his way to meet a newspaper reporter to tell the world what he's really been working on. This reporter is the partner of a Thames Valley police detective, who is called in to investigate the report of the missing man. They are also involved when...

Review of Off Track - Clare Curzon

Scent Off

Advantages: helps reduce pet fouling on lawns, cheap and works well
Disadvantages: none

...the Gardening section and bought Vitax Scent Off Pellets. A 55g box costs just £1.49 which is very cheap (they are also available in a 165g box). The 55g box is very small with a large red circle on the front stating 'Scent Off Pellets' and a picture of a cat and dog running away. Cats and Dogs are very sensitive to smells; however dogs are able to recognise areas of fouling by detecting traces of smell from previous animals. My experience of using Scent Off relates to cat fouling and as cats are even more put off by strange smells than dogs; Scent Off may work better to keep cats away. Vitax Scent Off Pellets is a training aid for cats and dogs and helps to reduce fouling on lawns and other areas such as patios and paths etc. There are 200 pellets in the box which are small and dark Green in colour and as expected they absolutely stink! (but...

Review of Vitax Scent Off

A short review about washing up

Advantages: OK if your dishes aren't too dirty
Disadvantages: Not as good as the branded products

...Whilst wandering around our local branch of Tesco?s the other week I noticed a display of ?discount items? not to be confused with the Tesco Value or Tesco Market Value range. The discount range all have a small square flash on them in yellow with the words ?discount brands at Tesco? in red and a £ sign being cut with a pair of scissors. I suppose it is yet another ploy to help us save money or at least make us think that we are saving money ? or am I being a bit sceptical? The discount items were mainly in a range called Daisy which I hadn?t heard of before but I decided to try the washing up liquid. I purchased the concentrated washing up liquid with antibacterial action in the 500ml size which cost me 67p. Had I chosen the standard Daisy washing up liquid in the same 500ml size it would have cost me just 57p. The idea is...

Review of Daisy Antibacterial Washing Up Liquid

Dermalogica Anti-Bac Skin Wash

Advantages: Cleared up my skin quickly, last ages!!!
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Dermalogica anti-bac skin wash is best used on blemish prone skin. It is a foaming, antibacterial facewash which deeply cleanses the skin of excess oil and impurities with drying it. It contains Triclosan which helps remove bacteria and Salicylic Acid disolves dead skin cells- that last part makes it sound very harsh, but it is really not! It also conatins balm mint, coneflower and camphor to help smooth and purify the skin. It does not have any artificial fragrances or colour. Dermalogica say that you should work the gel into a lather and apply to your dampened face and throat. You should then rinse with warm water and repeat for 'professional results'. They then say for best results this should be followed by the multi active toner and moisturiser (please see my other reviews). I use this product every day along...

Review of Dermalogica Anti-Bac Skin Wash

Lovely wash for sensitive skin

Advantages: Lovely texture and fragrance; quick to use
Disadvantages: I prefer a separate eye makeup remover

...I am always on the lookout for products that don't irritate my sensitive skin, yet I don't want to miss out on the luxury skincare experience! In this respect I have enjoyed using several Elemis products. I was a little wary at first as using water on my skin can lead to dryness and that itchy tight feeling and some facial washes can feel harsh, however I found this product very soothing and a pleaure to use. The product comes in a pump dispenser which is very convenient to use. Just a couple of pumps added to a little warm water in the palm of your hand and you are left with a lovely light creamy lather. It smells very pleasant and not at all overpowering. I would say a man or a woman could use this product as the packaging and fragrance are not overtly feminine. It is also great to use as your facial cleanser while in the shower...

Review of Elemis Sensitive Cleansing Wash

Daz Washing Powder: A standard price for an excellent performance

Advantages: Great scent, good cleaning powder, great price.
Disadvantages: None.

...I am staying at my Mums at present and Daz is the soap powder that she has currently purchased. The box is red, white & blue and stands out on the soap powder shelves as quite a recognisable product. The box has a handy pour spout which you just pull out of one side and this helps to pour the soap powder directly in to the washing machine drawer. The soap powder has a standard fresh, clean scent to it and nothing that I could put my finger on. The box states that it contains enough for 10 washes but my Mum says that she usually makes this last a good 15-20 washes as she rarely has soiled washing or even complete loads as for the most part she lives alone and just has her clothes & bedding to wash. I did not actually measure out a particular amount and just sprinkled it in to the drawer, I would definitely say that I used far less than 10...

Review of Daz Washing Powder

Wash your Sins Away!

Advantages: smell, nourshing
Disadvantages: can be pricey

...Dove cream liquid wash Since having jack I have been super cautious with washing my hands before touching him or his toys. I always was pretty good with hand washing before but now it has become somewhat of an obsession. I make sure not only my hands are washed but anyone else who comes into contact with him I'm screaming at them to wash before they touch!! Due to all this excessive washing my hands are taking a bit of a battering. I am prone to fairly dry skin all over but the more you wash something the drier it seems to get and hand are the worst. So in the nine weeks of Jack's life I have been trying out all sorts of different hand washes to try and find the best one that cleans well and doesn't leave my hands looking like they belong to a corpse. This particular hand wash, Dove Cream Wash, is about the sixth one...

Review of Dove Cream Wash Liquid Soap

Face/Off

Advantages: John Woo, character performances, action, supporting cast, intriguing story
Disadvantages: unbelievability

..."I'd like to take his face off." --Sean Archer (the good guy) The thing I love about (good) action movies is their sheer intensity in carrying viewers past plot absurdities, giving them little time to think "Could that really happen?"  This, however, doesn't necessarily mean we're not supposed to take them seriously, as most critics like to point out; I'm very serious about the levels of insanity, which attempt to captivate my attention from the very beginning of a movie. Face/Off is as brilliant an action spectacle as them come: it never once hesitates on playing it safe, and is masterful in blurring the distinctions between antagonist and protagonist, making it a rip-roaring emotional rollercoaster for the entirety of its two hr twenty mins running time. Indeed, more things get blown up in the first 15 mins of the film than...

Review of Face/Off (DVD)

Hands off...MINE!!

Advantages: Very nearly the same as a Twix, but much cheaper.
Disadvantages: The caramel doesn't ooze!

...Always being on the lookout of cheap and cheerful things that my children can take in their lunchboxes to school or at present there childcare club, I jumped at the chance of buying the product I will now review, due in part to the special offer price and also due to the fact that my mother in law has brought them before for my kids an they really enjoyed them. The product I will now review is - ?Asda?s, hands off my biccy bites!? These are to all intents and purposes Asda?s own brand of Twix?s, albeit smaller in size and much cheaper. The one?s I am reviewing are packaged in two?s but they are available in single sticks too. Anyway, the one?s I am viewing come in twos, with there being 7x42g packs within a multipack. The packet is a distinctive green colour, with all the relevant information present, product name...
