Better Than Water

Advantages: Two worlds melded together very nicely
Disadvantages: Not terribly well drawn characters

...Mike Carey is not a name I'd come across before, but on hearing he'd written the book that the film ''Constantine'' was based on, I was certainly interested in his work. ''Thicker Than Water'' is the fourth in his series involving Felix Castor and whilst that gave me slight pause about coming in to an already well established series, my desire to check out Carey's work outweighed any concerns I had. Felix Castor is an exorcist, attempting to fight the demons, werewolves and zombies that inhabit our world. Not all of them, as his closest friend has a demon living inside him whilst his friends Nicky and Juliet are a zombie and succubus. Mostly, he lets such things be, but if they cause trouble he takes it upon himself to remove them from the world and let us mere humans live in peace. This time around, Castor is implicated in a murder...

Colouring with naturtint

Advantages: colours my grey
Disadvantages: price

...Yes I admit it I am going grey. I coloured my hair recently using Naturtint hair colour. Naturtint make a range of 24 Permanent Hair Colorants, from Ebony black , chestnut reds through to Blondes. It is also possible to mix these colours to get your own individual shade . My hair is not a vibrant colour its a greying mouse brown. Since this was the first time I was using this brand of hair dye I decided to play safe and a I chose hazel nut blonde. they don?t do mouse brown. I bought my pack from a health store. I think you should be able to buy it from health shops chemists and on line too, one site selling is http://www.herbsgardenshealth.com. I paid £9 for a bottle of this colour. It is more expensive than others I have used in the past .., but I think I have developed an allergy to one of the other hair dyes and bored...

Colour Adapt Perfection

Advantages: Blends well, value for money,shades for everyone.
Disadvantages: re-application sometimes necssary

...I bought this product from a local Boots store for only £7.50. I had heard that this was one of the best foundations there is, especially for my fair skin tone. They were right. This line of foundation has an extensive range of shades from the ghostly white to the darkest brown, a colour for everyone. I managed to find my perfect shade quickly and efficiently without the need for testers. This foundation I found was easy to blend even upto my hairline and the small cracks around my nose. The visibilty was just enough and it's coverage beautiful. It was noticeable and because it had adapted itself to my skin, it gave my skin tone a look of perfection. It is exceptional value money and I would reccomend it to any woman who struggles with blending their current foundation or finding their shade. Removing the foundation couldn't have been...

Cool Water

Advantages: Great long lasting fragrance
Disadvantages: can be a little expensive

...and the bottle are made with this in mind, so as the people who buy it are reminded of their holidays (it sounds silly but thats what I think) The bottle of perfume is made from coloured blue glass which is see through so as you can clearly see how much perfume you have left in the bottle. The bottle is quite chunky and cylindrical at the bottom and gradually thins out nearer the top of the bottle. The perfume is dispensed through a silver spray top which gives you a generous spray of the perfume. I usually spray loads of it and my hubby complains and says that the house smells like the perfume counter at Debenhams lol. Cool Water is the only perfume in my collection which he moans about me spraying too much of. I love the smell of Cool Water because it smells so exotic, warm and summery when I spritz myself with Cool Waters the scent of it...

Review of Haws Practican Watering Can

What a fruity colour!

Advantages: Doesn't smell of bleach
Disadvantages: Can be fiddly

.... This is just a case of the dye taking. The easiest way to wash a hair dye out is to get into the shower. This prevents getting a cricked neck over the sink and ending up with a bathroom floor splashed with spots of colour. To wash the dye out all you need to do is apply a small amount of warm water and work your hair into a lather as if you are applying shampoo. Now at this stage you should still be wearing your gloves, but I had already thrown mine away when I finished applying. This wasn't a problem though as the colour washes off whilst you are then rinsing. Once you have a head full of lather stand under the shower and rinse your hair until the water runs clear. With some dyes this bit can take ages, but this only takes about 5 mins with Nutrisse. The next stage is then to apply the sachet of conditioner. This is the bit in...

Review of Garnier Nutrisse Hair Colour

Water, Water, Everywhere

Advantages: Psychologically scary, strong performances from key cast members.
Disadvantages: Too many characters are introduced, the ending is a little silly.

...Walter Salles 2005 film 'Dark Water' is dark and mysterious, a truly chilling remake of Hideo Nakata's Japanese horror film which was originally released in 2002. It's an interesting concept that Walter Salles should take on a film of this sort, he'd previously had success with the film 'The Motorcycle Diaries' but 'Dark Water' is really something far different than this. What's more is that this is a major American remake and yet Walter Salles himself is Brazilian. Although this was not a predictable film for Walter Salles to have taken on, what I will say is that he has done an excellent job here and successfully directed a brilliant horror film. In the 2000s there has been quite a trend for remaking popular Japanese horror films. 'The Ring' films were remade, as too was the 'Ju-on' series, it's only right then that 'Dark Water...

Review of Dark Water (DVD)

Water - the movie

Advantages: thought provoking, beautiful cinematography, good characterisation
Disadvantages: you will most definetly need a box of tissues at hand - total tear jerker

...For those who havent seen this film or are considering doing so - go out and get it now!! Can be found on amazon for around 10-12 pounds or find it online and watch it! This has got to be one of my all time favourite movies by Deepa Mehta - a very contraversial director from india who brought us films such as fire - about same sex love in a normal poor middle class family in india and the consequences of falling in love with the wrong person, as well a heavy critique of indian society. Indeed the film has been banned from india and there much effort to do the same to Water.. it seems the indian government are obsessed with hiding their not so pretty past too! Water is part of her "elements" series which started with Earth:1947 a love story, Fire and now Water. The better known bollywood stars include Johnny Abraham (such a hottie, i...

Brecon Carreg Still Water

Advantages: Refreshing!
Disadvantages: It's just water!

...Water water everywhere, so let's all have a drink...at a slight cost to the consumer of course. The inventor of 'bottled water' is little short of a genius in my eyes, but then again we all need to make a living, so here's a product from one of those geniuses - Brecon Carreg Still Mineral Water. Coming from the deepest, darkest depths of the Welsh Valleys, Brecon Carreg is filtered through layers of limestone at 'Black Mountain' (that's somewhere in the Brecon Beacons for all those looking for a small geography lesson!). It's bottled at the source, as are all good brands of bottled water to help keep it's clean, fresh taste. Being natural mineral water there's no additional ingredients to help shelf-life or taste, but instead contains quantities of all the important minerals floating around in the Welsh mountains, such as...
