Advantages: Cleanses off makeup effectively, doesn't leave skin dry/taut, works out at a reasonable price
Disadvantages: Doesn't combat spots very well

...You'd be forgiven for associating foaming cleansers with the teenage 'just started cleansing properly but can't be bothered with the whole cleanser toner and cotton wool option'; however, you'd also be wrong. Apart from anything else, what teenager could afford to buy La Prairie products? La Prairie for those who don't know (and I didn't either until this was bought for me as a birthday present from my mum) is a high-end cosmetics brand, founded in Switzerland in 1982. FOAM CLEANSER Despite being in one of the most expensive ranges around, La Prairie stick to a simple self-explanatory 'foam cleanser' name. As with the majority of their range the product is sold in a smart silver cardboard box with minimal product information on three sides and the ingredients on the back. Inside is an instructional leaflet in several... Read review

Advantages: A few really good tracks, some De La Soul tunes you have never heard before
Disadvantages: The album has no flow, a few weak remixes

...their influences and personal experiences and crafted a lasting image on the music world. De La Soul's roots with African music, reggae, soul and rap melted with their social concerns have made themselves into an influential group in their own right. Their spirit can be felt in many of today's raps from the Black Eyed Peas to Gorillaz. This album alone is not great. I personally don't care for it too much. De La records are front to back journeys. Each one is its own experience. De La Mix Tape is just a partially digested regurgitation of some of De La Soul's more memorable performances and moments. Taken away from the other bodies of work I feel this one just doesn't have enough for me. There is too much mediocrity and not enough vibrancy. De La Soul records have a vibe. This one totally lacks that vibe and flow. If you are new to De La Soul I... Read review

Advantages: sexy undies, reasonable prices, excellent delivery
Disadvantages: I can't afford to shop here every day

...& shorts sets which are priced between £20 and £28. These are a little bit pricey but look nice & comfortable. - Mix and match enables you to chose either a shorts or pyjamas bottoms to go with your vest or cami. There are only 2 sets here, which seems a little sparse. ACCESSORIES I didn’t even notice this section on my first visit, which is a shame. - Bra accessories includes such things as bra inserts, breast daisies (honestly!), stick and show tape (that’s not we call it!), as well as bra strap converters. The bra accessories and nipple covers are all around £5-8 whereas the breast inserts are pretty expensive at £29. Honestly, ladies, is it worth it? - Gifts contains all kinds of goodies such as a La Senza heart mirror, lip gloss, body lotion and even candles. There are all pretty inexpensive (£1-5) so it would be a nice idea... Read review

Advantages: Sexy & available in all sizes, good quality too! Caters for Bigger Women
Disadvantages: Can be a tad pricey for me although I always try to shop there.

...nighties which are all very cheap. Like theunderwear the PJs have characters on them and are regularly made from soft cotton. You can often mix and match your sets which helps you to personalise to your own tastes. Gifts... Mirrors, lip gloss, body lotion and even candles as well as soft toys. There are all pretty inexpensive (£1-5) so it would be a nice idea for a little extra gift for someone and can often be found next to or opposite the till. When my friend came shopping with me for the previously mentioned 5-way bra, I bought her a little soft dog to say thank you for coming shopping with me. The Hosiery section is quite small however and contains a small selection of hold ups, stockings and tights. Another ice thing about La Senza... It doesn't matter what you have bought, it gets wrapped yp in the soft white La Senza tissue... Read review

Advantages: Quite cheap, large range of sizes
Disadvantages: Some things look tacky

...I started shopping at la Senza about 5years ago and will admit I dont shop there as much as I used to. For some of you that dont know, La Senza sell a large range of lingerie, including bras, knickers, Nightwear, Swimwear, Stockings, Socks & gifts. What sizes do they do? La Senza start bra sizes from a 30A and go upto a 38F, How-ever the larger sizes Im not sure if they are wideley avaliable in stores or not as my friend can never seem to find her size in there! Knickers and thongs start from 8 and go upto 18. Nightwear starts from size 8 upto 18. Swimwear bottoms start from size 8 and go upto 14. Swimwear tops start from 32A ans go upto 38F, but again Im not sure if they stock the larger sizes in store. What gifts do they do? Soap, Manicure kits, Bath Confetti, Sizzling body candy, Scented bead bags, candles, garters... Read review

Advantages: Great soundtrack, addictive gameplay, gripping plot
Disadvantages: Somewhat outdated graphics, not the best control system ever devised

...even be inclined to take a drive through the real LA to see if the streets there match the layout in the game. I kid you not - play for yourself and you'll see what I mean. SHOOTING In this mode, you use your guns to shoot down or disarm criminals. You can also pick up weapons you find, as well as those the enemies you have shot down possessed. There's also a nifty little feature called Precision Aim, where the action slows for a few seconds, and a large reticule appears on the screen, which you can use to aim at an enemy who's proving difficult to gun down, and aim at any particular body part you wish to. It takes a while to get used to, but once you do, it will add another trick to your arsenal. FIGHTING This is basically hand to hand combat with one or several enemies, and possibly the most fun of the three modes. You can pick up... Read review

Advantages: Extremely tasty
Disadvantages: Hard to find

.... Today's beer is LA WAMBRECHIES from the Distillerie de Genièvre Claeyssens, near Lille. Excuse me? Distillerie? Mais oui. Apparently they branched out into brewing beer in recent years. Try as I might though, I couldn't find much information on the web about this beer, but what I did find is detailed below for your perusal. "The pale La Wambrechies is a hazy gin & ale hybrid, smelling of gin and bready malt. The palate is a complex blend of alcohol, gin, bread, yeast and herbal hop - all of the ingredients showing themselves in pure form. The beer is brewed with the finest malt and hop. Old Malt Jenever 40% is added before passage into the heating room. It is a high fermentation beer, refermenting in the bottle." --------------------------Half-Time Break------------------- A frog telephoned the Psychic Hotline... Read review

Disadvantages: Time consuming and a little expensive. Not enough choice in my size

...were in the Mall. We intended to go to a couple of shops here, but were distracted by some night attire in the entrance of La Senza, the shop that I would like to talk about. La Senza is a shop which my daughter visits quite regularly, but I have only been in a few times. It is a Canadian based company, which has shops worldwide. In Norwich it is situated in the Mall on a corner, so has two entrances/ exits, which is good because you don’t have to go back through were you’ve been. The shop sells good quality, stylish comfortable lingerie and night attire. There is a large selection of lingerie. The bras range from 32A to 40DD and there are bodices as well as a choice of pants or thongs. (Some of which are priced at £10 for one pair of knickers. That I find expensive.) They also sell bikinis and slippers. (A small selection... Read review

Advantages: Easy to apply
Disadvantages: None

...After having tried several other brands of self-tanning body moisturisers I had all but given up on ever looking anything but pasty. Milk bottle legs are such a no-no in the Summer, I'd have to live in trousers all year long! I decided to give this one a go as I have found other products in their range good in the past, plus this was on offer and cost less than £3.00 at the time. The fact that there was a fair skin version available was extra appealing, as I'm so white I'm almost transparent and didn't want to turn out that dreaded orange shade so beloved by celebrities! I made sure I exfoliated well in the shower beforehand, and applied moisturiser to my dry bits ie knees and elbows. The first thing I noticed was the fragrance, Not overly sweet or chemical smelling, it smelled like a body lotion should. I found that although I had...
