Amped Up...And Ready To Go - Various Artists

Ready to Go!

Advantages: A host of different shades of eyeshadows, Lip colours & Blushers. Great Quality
Disadvantages: A bit too big to take out in an evening bag.

Yet another one of my Virgin Vie 'good buys'! This is the Virgin Vie ready to wear collection of eyeshadows, lip colours and blushers. ~ Price ~ RRP is £20 but in the Virgin Vie catalogue at the moment it's available for £12.50 which is a great bargain considering what you get! ~ Packaging ~ This comes in an outer, very dark blue cardboard box. Inside the box is a blue plastic box (like a mini make-up box), measuring approx 14cm x 10cm, hence what I mean by it not being great for a small evening bag. This has the Virgin Vie logo on the front and 'ready to wear collection'. The lid opens up to show the first 'drawer' full of eyeshadows along with a mirror. Once you have opened the lid, you can pull out the second 'drawer' which slides out to show all of the blushers and lip colours available. ~ What you get ...

Back To Love 03.02 - Various Artists

Advantages: Fantastic Full-Length Dance Classics
Disadvantages: A few substandard fillers...

'm telling you" - Donna Giles (Stonebridge mix) Great, and, bizarrely, a remake of the theme from the stage musical "Dreamgirls" based on the story of The Supremes... 11. "Weekend" - Todd Terry A very "Chicago" sounding track, as you would expect from Todd Terry, the boss of US house. CD2 1. "Keep on movin'" - Soul II Soul (club mix) This great track has always been a bit overshadowed by the follow up from Jazzie B and the friends, "Back To Life (However Do You Want Me)" with Caron Wheeler. Shame. 2. "Wishing on a star" - Fresh 4 A hundred people have done covers of this song, including, recently, "The Modfather" Paul Weller. This bare bones version is OK, nothiong special. 3. "Eye know" - De La Soul (the know it all mix) That whisting song from the "Daisy Age"-ers, although I still prefer "A rollerskating jam"... 4 ...

Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips - Not such a Perfect Finish!

Advantages: Nice smell, areas where hair WAS removed felt silky soft, wipes do remove excess wax
Disadvantages: Too many areas where hair WASN'T removed, price, speed, pain

Hi... Thought I'd share my (very recent) experience of Veet Ready To Use Wax Strips. Just to make clear now, the strips I used were part of the pink Complete Body Kit, consisting of 20 leg strips, 12 bikini/underarm strips, and 4 Perfect Finish wipes, and claiming to be effective on hair as short as 2mm. I'm 17 years old, normal, and to be honest, quite an optimist, so this is the first almost negative review I've given anything. The 'satisfactory' was moved up from a 'poor' because I felt mean! Usually, I'd use Veet cream (works like magic, if you're wondering) , but as I was in Boots to stock up these caught my eye. They were on a discount, and I'd wanted to try waxing, so I thought I'd give it a go. They cost me around £4-5, which, believe it or not, was half price. The strips themselves smelt nice, and the instructions were ...
