Advantages: Good Location, Comfy Beds, Nice Views on Our Floor Disadvantages: Crazy Maid Monsters
On a recent long weekend to Paris with my sister and a few of our friends we booked ourselves into the Paris Liege hotel for 2 nights.
Where is it
---------------
Located just opposite Gare Du Nord station in the heart of Paris, the hotel liege is ever so slightly out of sight behind a few brighter signed buildings. It?s on the left hand side of the road as you cross over and has a nice subtle pink sign indicating its presence.
How much / How to Book?
-------------------------------------
We booked through lastminute.com who arranged everything on our behalf. When we arrived our reservations were correct and we were given a key card for or room with no troubles at all.
My sister and I shared a twin room at £70 per night. I thought this was pretty reasonable considering the great location and proximity to the station ...
Advantages: Gorgeous sultry tango music for late-night listening. Disadvantages: Only about 40 minutes of music, not to everyone's taste.
Argentinian AstorPiazzolla was responsible for the creation of "tango nuevo", or new/modern tango, fusing traditional tango music with jazz and classical elements. (If you know of Gotan Project, he was an inspiration for them - they also sometimes play his compositions.) While most of the other albums he recorded are sparklingly precise, this one is slightly rougher round the edges, often slow, sultry, even dirty - and deliberately so, Piazzolla himself said the music on this album was "meant to be played by drunk musicians in a bordello".

This is a late recording, made in 1987 (he died in 1992) and features a small group of musicians playing piano, violin, bass, electric guitar, clarinet/alto sax, and bandoneon, which Piazzola himself plays - he did so ...
Advantages: No clumping, lovely lashes Disadvantages: I can't find any online

I might not still have the magazine, let alone remember which one it was, but 7 months later I am still faithfully using my Margaret Astor Magic Style mascara. I have very sensitive eyes - anything remotely perfumed is out, and Maybelline Great Lash is a big no-no. Margaret Astor however is just right.
Packaging
In a nice, sleek silver tube, this is a simple yet attractive tube of mascara. It doesn't look cheap but nor is it snobbish. The top/wand has a clear plastic rounded end with a cute little flower on it. This logo adorns all of the Margaret Astor range. At approximately 4 inches long, the tube fits in any small makeup bag or you can pop it in your handbag to use after work or on a night out ...
