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 languages... Read review

Advantages: A night cream which works very well - on the cheap!
Disadvantages: Sadly it doesn't work miracles...

...a period of several weeks. The results of this were similar to the English experiment where price and efficacy were in no way related. In fact, among the least effective were the La Prairie Cellular range, costing up to £229 for a 30ml pot - Imagine having just splashed out on that and then reading about this study. It's got to hurt! Anyway, the point with this introduction was to say that one of the cheapest creams, Olay Regenerist was also the one that gave the best results during the period of this study. Hallelujah - a product I don't actually have to save up for and which I can convince myself has the scientific seal of approval - could it get any better? Completely and utterly ignoring the fact that the study also suggested that even the best creams "reduced the average depth of wrinkles by less than 10 per cent, a magnitude... Read review

Advantages: Nice packaging, nice scent, not drying
Disadvantages: Gave me really big spots, felt like it didn't wash off easily

...Like all other Origins products their cream cleanser, called Pure Cream, is packaged really nicely. Slightly unusually for a bathroom product it comes in a heavy glass jar which some people might not like due to the whole glass in the bathroom thing, but I like it and I think it'd survive a fall onto our floor anyway because it's not made from hard tiles and the container is thick and sturdy. Cream cleansers may not be something that everyone is familiar with but they are basically exactly what the name implies - creams which cleanse. It sounds like a bizarre concept at first because most people are used to foamy soapy things for cleaning their skin, but having tried (and loved!) a free La Prairie sample of their cream cleanser I was keen to hunt down a cheaper alternative. As I'd put this on my list of suggestions I was kindly... Read review

Advantages: long lasting, caters to different skins
Disadvantages: dries up if the compact is not tightly shut after each use

...Finding a base that suits you is the hardest thing about getting your make up right. Without a flawless base, you can't expect to be happy with any look you try to create. However, it is important to look after your skin and not expect foundation to do that for you, or you will never find the miracle cure you're looking for. Exfoliating once a week helps shift dead skin cells and create a smooth base for the foundation to glide onto. Having used various expensive foundations I was pretty sick of buying the wrong thing, and getting the wrong shade of foundation was an expensive mistake to make. Being a student, I think it is just silly to spend what companies such as La Prairie asks (£90+) in order to get a flawlass base. On the other hand, the MAC range provides a good quality alternative to such hefty prices, whilst delivering... Read review

Advantages: Good cast; imaginative storyline
Disadvantages: More TV series in style than serious movie

...”, but she hasn’t really appeared in that many movies since 1997’s “LA Confidential”. And, overall – yep I’d say “Ceellular” is a better than average movie. 96 minutes – just the right amount of time << Availability >> The DVD is £14.99 (amazon) Or £13.99 from dvd.co.uk << DVD features >> Deleted scenes; Making of featurette; Featurette on modern cellular phones; Commentary with director David R Ellis and writers Larry Cohen and Chris Morgan. Better than usual extras, all in all. << What’s the main reason to see this movie? >> William H. Macy is excellent. Also, the scene where Ryan goes into a shop to get some credits for his phone – one of several funny moments in a tense movie.... Read review

Advantages: Morricone at his best and most original
Disadvantages: Apart from some incompleteness none

...returns and is allowed to wind down to a conclusion. The reason why I have gone into such detail with this opening cue is because it is not easy for us today to really understand how new and strange this main theme sounded like back in 1967. The sheer unusualness of the orchestrations, guitar, native voices, male choir, strings, trumpets, whistling, saxophone, drums, all treated individually and uniquely within a three minute cue make for a very interesting listen. Apart from the main theme that crops up often during the score in different variations, depending on which of the three men is being depicted, there is also a world-weary, long-drawn melody that is the very essence of resignation in Western music, appearing in cues like "La Missione San Antonio" and "The Death of a Soldier". It is also turned into a song in "The Story of a Soldier... Read review
