Great Lengths - Martyn

Advantages: Lovely packaging. Gives deifinition and length to eyelashes.
Disadvantages: Some may say the cost!

...Virgin Vie promise~ 'We've gone to great lengths to make sure you have the longest and thickest lashes' ~ Does the mascara live up to it's promise?~ Well it all depends on who you are comparing your lashes with as to whether you have the longest and thickest ones! But what I must say is that it certainly extends and defines my lashes. I have naturally black eyelashes anyway, not short or particularly long so this mascara really does work by making them look thicker and longer. Another thing in this mascara's favour is the fact that it doesn't 'clag' when you apply it which I find many have done in the past, leaving black bits of gunk on eyelashes so that you have to start all over again! ~ How long does it last?~ I've had this for 2 months now and there is no sign of it it clagging up or running out.

Advantages: Lashes you dreamed of having.
Disadvantages: none.

...This is in my top ten list of things I couldn't do without and as such I thought I had better write an opinion on it so here goes. This is another Virgin Vie product which I am extremely happy with, it comes in 4 colours Black, Brown/black, Brown and Navy.

Advantages: Most of the tracks very strong. Album stands test of time
Disadvantages: Not a commercial album and needs repeated listening.

...track draws you right in with soft vibes playing in the background and Danny Thompson's pronounced double bass. But it's Martyn's new-style vocals and lyrics which provide the magic here, making the track so atmospheric Thompson was first featured on BTW and frequently accompanied Martyn on gigs throughout the 70s, and the two became great mates. Over The Hill is a contemporary self-penned folksong featuring Martyn on guitar with accompaniment on mandolin. Martyn also reverts back to his old smoother style of singing. Pleasant and bouncy track to listen to with a slight bluegrass feel to it. I Don't Want To Know (about evil). This is a bluesy number that starts out quietly like the first track does, but then gains in momentum and power as it progresses. Another very strong track with Martyn slurring his words. This could have... Read review
