White linen: a classic gift

Advantages: Beautifully packaged light and fresh
Disadvantages: None!

...Although I am a man and obviously don't wear White Linen perfume myself (!) this is a perfume that has been a firm favourite amongst the women in my family for many, many years and is always a perfect Christmas or Birthday gift! It is one of the classic Estee Lauder fragrances and has a light and fresh fragrance that is perfect for summer and reminds me of fruit. It has an almost sweet smell that has a strong presence but is by no means overpowering but has good staying power. The cost is approx. £30 for a 75ml bottle for an eau de toilette spray. Estee Lauder have also launched a perfume stick that is about the size of a lip stick and you dab this on your wrists and neck etc and is very useful for handbags for nights out etc! The cost of the perfume stick is only about £15 and makes a great small present. They used to also make...

Review of White Knight 44AW

The White Knight to the rescue on those wet summer days

Advantages: User friendly, light weight and good load capability
Disadvantages: C rated so not he most economical

...As most people in Britain own a washing machine, many, like me, probably struggle to get there washing dry, especially with the glorious sunshine and top quality weather that is constantly warming our cheery faces, (that was sarcasm by the way), so the invention of the clothes/tumble dryer was a god send. So when my old dryer suddenly decided to stop blowing hot air, whilst also gaining a sort of stutter, I decided to go on the hunt for another similar one, coming across a brand called White Knight. But, to add to my confusion, I discovered that there are several types of dryers, such as spin dryers, which simply spin the clothes inside so fast that they eventually dry. Then there?s the condenser dryer, which passes warm air through the clothes and turns the heated air into water vapour sending the vapour into a storage hold, thus...

A Classic Fragrance

Advantages: A classic fragrance for the mature woman
Disadvantages: None at all.

...it later on in the day. Estee Lauder's Pure White Linen spray is among those soft gentle floral perfumes that suits mature skin and the light floral fragrance lasts for hours. Estee Lauder have given immense thought to the design of the bottle and have created a classic white glass bottle that has a spray top that is covered with an opaque glass cap. The pristine bottle has style and elegance and intimates that the contents are exquisite. I know that a 50ml bottle of Pure White Linen will cost you in the region of £32 but having said that when it comes down to perfume you get exactly what you pay for ( or in my case get given!) Estee Lauder have given the bottle the finest of sprays, so when you depress the button and release the perfume your skin is treated to a soft mist which dries in a couple of seconds. The Eau De parfum is...

Review of Estee Lauder Pure White Linen Eau De Parfum Spray

I smell great!!!

Advantages: smells great
Disadvantages: none

...****Pure White Linen**** As people on dooyoo are probably aware by now i love perfume and i am always looking for new ones for my collection. I decided to buy this one after testing it at the Boots perfume counter. **About Estee Lauder** When i think of this brand i think ?good quality? and unfortunately also ?expensive?.The brand started in 1946 so it has been around a long time. They sell skin care ,makeup and perfume. **Packaging/bottle** The packaging for this is very simple. The box is very boring-a light blue and white colour. Its not very eye catching at all and i think this perfume could be easily missed on the shelf. The shape of the bottle is slightly better as it is like a wavy oblong shape but still not that eye catching as it is a cloudy glass colour. **Smell** After spraying this my thoughts were that this...

~ THE WHITE DELIGHT ~

Advantages: Excellent tatse, Great quality wrapping, Nice smell
Disadvantages: none

...~ THE WHITE DELIGHT ~ After seeing this on this week?s product of the week last night I decided to give it a try. I don?t actually eat a lot of chocolate unlike most females and i prefer sweets, as most chocolate bars make me feel ill after. Saying this though i have always liked Kit Kat bars. I prefer white chocolate to normal and I love kit kats so thought I would enjoy one of these bars. White chocolate is defiantly my favourite kind, so after buying a bar from my local shop last night I was intrigued to see if it was any better than the original Kit Kat bar. I can say it was thanks to Ciao that I managed to try one even though I have seen them in the shops for a while. The bar itself is also very eye catching so I think I would have got one at some point. They were set in a large white box right by the till so i would be...

Review of Nestlé Kit Kat White Chocolate

White Hot

Advantages: Some wonderful writing
Disadvantages: A few too many coincidences for my taste

...Crime thrillers aren't usually a genre known for their excellent writing, unless I'm reading the wrong books. Whilst there are some exciting writers working within it, they're not generally the kind of books you'd pick up for the quality of their writing, more for the quality of the story. That alone makes Jim Kelly's "Death Wore White" something of a surprise and something well worth picking up, as he manages both. One wintry evening on the Norfolk coast, DI Shaw and DS Valentine are investigating a report of a toxic container which is about to wash ashore. At the beach, they find something more than they expected when a dead man floats ashore in an inflatable raft. Worse is to come when they investigate a queue of traffic stuck behind a fallen pine tree to find a murder victim in the driver's seat of the first car. There are very few...

Review of Death Wore White - Jim Kelly

White chocolate and muffins

Advantages: tastes good and cheap
Disadvantages: lots of calories

...I found that there is a cheap chocolate trio available is Sainsbury?s Basics series. Actually I have tried all of them but now I review the white chocolate. First impressions ---------------------- This chocolate is in a white wrapper as the Sainsbury?s Basics series usually are wrapped. The Sainsbury?s logo and the White Chocolate title on it are written with orange. The bar is 100 g and costs 0.27 pounds. The wrapper can be opened easily. It is cheap wrapper so don?t expect to be re-sealable. It has all the nutritional and ingredients information on the wrapper. The white chocolate looks exactly the same as white chocolates look. It has a light beige colour. It smells sweet but in positive way. Ingredients: ---------------- Sugar, Cocoa Butter, Whole Milk Powder (from Cows' Milk), Whey Powder (from Cows' Milk), Skimmed Milk...

Review of Sainsbury's Basics White Chocolate

White On!

Advantages: Well-written, directed and performed
Disadvantages: Some of the violence is rather nasty and the film won't be everyone's cup of tea

...Collin Friesen delights in oddball characters in bizarre situations. In many ways it follows the example set by TV's "Northern Exposure". Only this time the interloper is a tightly-wound insurance investigator instead of a doctor and rather than slowly falling for the community, he rails against it. Nobody in the film is entirely normal - they all have a burning desire to get out of "The Big White" that manifests itself in all manner of character quirks. Whether it is Ted's attention to detail, Paul's willingness to do anything no matter how morally suspect, or Margaret's Tourettes, they are all unravelling. There's a peculiar sense of paranoia that underlines the whole film. But as the old joke goes, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you. This is certainly true of the Alaskan wasteland the characters inhabit. In...
