Found it - Best Beauty Product EVER!

I would say I used to be quite fickle when it came to beauty products. Sometimes my choices would be determined purely on price or availability. But more recently I need more from my product to make me want to part with my monies. I am part of that % percentage of women who want multi-purpose products, no longer is a black mascara enough, it needs to lengthen, volumise, provide fuller lashes and come dressed as Ryan Reynolds (I can forgive the last one!)



But I feel this is where some of my product choices have gone wrong and I, like many other women, end up with that ‘draw’ or ‘bag’ of makeup that is sitting unwanted and not used. I hate waste but do like to try new things. When I was recommended to use a new product from No7 – the Fanomenal Lash Serum I was dubious; it seemed expensive for its size and what it promised felt unattainable. However I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt.

And oh wow am I glad I did. This product is not only great value for money it actually works! Used every night on bottom and top lashes for the past 8 weeks I have noticed increased length and depth to my lashes. I will say that I have not noticed a drastic improvement in the overall volume but I will continue to use it as am really happy with the results, it’s easy to apply and works while I’m sleeping. I am also going to try on eyebrows and see what happens there.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone, especially those experiencing lashes lost after use of false lashes, lash extensions etc. It is also a great way to boost what you already have!

Review - Movie 43

All I can say of Movie 43 is that it was a massive waste of 1 hour 34 minutes of my life. It is the only time I can ever say that I actually contemplated getting up out of my seat and leaving the cinema before the end of the film.

The film comes with the tag line - "The biggest cast ever assembled for the most outrageous comedy ever made."

The only outrageous thing about the film was that it was not funny, not one bit and was totally overplayed by the weight and familiarity of the cast. Despite it being so unfunny, it didn't make any sense, but then maybe that was the point.

In a nutshell - disappointing, don't waste your time on this one.

A wet weather weekend hampered second round of RBS Six Nations matches

Round two of the RBS Six Nations was a weekend of drama, emotion and tough calls.
Saturday, 9 February saw France fall again, this time to Wales who very much needed the boost of a win and Italy were defeated by the powerful Scotland. This now sees France, current leaders of the Six Nations all-time table with 46 wins from 67 matches played, bottom of the table.

Going into the tournament I would have expected to see France, Ireland and England in the top three all vying for top spot position. But with these two first rounds being a washout for France it is now all open for England to run forward
.
"Will the week break see a revived France comeback against England and can Wales add to their points score to beat Italy on home turf?"

Total domination for England women against Scotland yet why was there so little coverage?

Saturday, 2 February, while the English Rugby Union squad were getting ready and warmed up to face Scotland in their first match of the 2013 RBS 6 Nations another game was already in play. However, very little was said or shown of that game.

That game, and others played that weekend, were of the Women’s RBS 6 Nations Championships. Seven times consecutive winners, England Women were playing their first match against Scotland Women.

RBS Six Nations kicks off to a cracking start

The 2013 RBS Six Nations got underway last weekend to a cracking start with a great number of tries and an unexpected defeat.
England's Billy Twelvetrees
Defending champions, Wales, went into Saturday’s game against Ireland with many having already decided the outcome. Although Wales dominated the scoreboard in the 2012 Six Nations championships their recent games have not delivered the results they needed. Injury has hampered the team and they just don’t seem to have pulled themselves together. The first half looked like it was going to deliver what had been predicted by so many as Ireland took full advantage, taking every opportunity to score and picking up on every mistake Wales made. Half time brought the relief Wales needed and the team that came back out were re-energised and more focused. The pressure came on and the score rose. It was a good hard push from Wales that sadly came a little too late to overtake Ireland.

Next up was the Calcutta Cup clash. Going into this game I was quietly confident that England would play well and retain the Cup after having such a good run in recent games.
