Lisa — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 10:13:34 +0000

There is such a huge selection of Mascara’s and Primer’s available in the shops but I have found a few that might interest you online.

Did you know that the first mascara was invented by Eugene Rimmel in the 19th Century and that the word ‘Rimmel’ also means mascara in many languages. It was also Max Factor who were the first to create mascara with a wand application that we see today. (I bet you didnt know that!)

Christmas Gift Ideas for Men!

Well, its nearly hear again!

I don’t know about you but when it comes to Christmas shopping for men I go into a major panic. One thing that I have learnt over the years is to try and keep a particular persons interests in mind. You don’t have to just end up in a main street store and buy the usual Christmas jumper.

Ask yourself some basic questions: Does he have any hobbies? What does he like to do? What are his main interests ie sport, films, music etc?

Most men have at least some sort of interest in either golf, fishing, motor sport, football and almost every man on the planet likes gadgets. The quirkier the better I have found. My husband is forever updating his phone or ipod for the latest in technology.

What about music, everyone has a taste in music that they prefer! Has his latest band released anything new, has he been raving about somebody but you haven’t really taken any notice of him. This is a really good time to start listening to people.

Maybe a few of these ideas might help you …….

How about a Portable Digital TV & DVD Player, This is the special wireless headphone edition of the Nextbase SDV1102. Included in the box is a set of wireless headphones and IR transmitter. This allows you to listen in comfort, without wires!.

Or maybe a great new, bright coloured ipod nano, the 16GB version flash drive holds up to 4,000 songs or 16 hours video. Great for music lovers!

For more great ideas why not browse my online store, it includes such things as a Digital Camera, the size of a credit card, a Bosch Cordless hammer drill for the DIY expert in the house, the great new Apple ipod Touch (my husband is permanently attached to his!) and a few other little gems.

Christmas Gift Ideas for Kids

Ok, so Christmas is just around the corner, Again…..

Dont know about you but hasnt it come round quick. Or is it that the shops just bring it around alot quicker!

I’ve been looking at doing a lot of my christmas shopping online and spending some time trying to find the bargains. I have a four year old little boy who is into everything from Ben 10 to Dinosaurs to Pirates so shopping for him is quite a challenge. Finding value for money is also quite difficult!

I sometimes wonder whether prices seem to go up around this time of year or am I just being skeptical!

Anyway, have put together a bit of a shop if you are interest in seeing what I have found for my son and numerous nephews and nieces.

Feel free to have a browse and have a good Christmas!
