Advantages: creates length an strength Disadvantages: No major issues
KissMe Mascara is well presented in a metallic tube and is a product of KissMe cosmetics.
It comes in six shades,black,dark brown,medium brown,dark blue,dark purple and dark green.
It has been clinically tested and is fine for contact lens wearers to use.
A very different idea altogether and I for one wanted to try it !
The instructions tell me that once I have applied the mascara it will form `tubes` over my lashes making them look long and strong.
The application was easy ,the mascara looked good,I used the Dark Brown shade to match my eye colour.
KissMe assured me that once the mascara had dried it would be smudge free,waterproof and clump free,nor would it flake.
Well if it passed all of those tests it would be a miracle !
So the mascara dried and it looked fine,my lashes looked pretty long and strong too.

Advantages: Four solid episodes Disadvantages: What's different to any other Simpsons DVD?
Another Simpsons DVD offering, and for this reviewer, another disappointment. It isn't that the episodes featured ('Natural Born Kissers', 'The Way We Weren't', 'Large Marge', and 'Three Gays Of The Condo') are bad episodes, it is simply that I do not believe that this offers any better value for money than any other Simpsons DVD.
I also felt annoyed when buying the product, the creators have referred to the DVD as containing four 'unreleased' episodes...this is not true, 'Natural Born Kissers' featured on the earlier Simpsons - 'Too Hot For Tv' DVD. Although it is a good episode, and has the same tongue-in-cheek comedy that most Simpsons episodes convey, the claim is unproven, something that frustrated me.
The best episode on the DVD is 'Three Gays Of The Condo', Homer produces quote after quote of comedic brilliance, I would ...
Advantages: evening out, light hearted fun Disadvantages: perhaps a wee bit too long
a whip (!). His comic timing is spot on and both his characters get a lot of laughs.
As Lilli and Fred, Brighten and Urbani have obvious passion suppressed beneath their outward animosity. This is especially evident during their first duet 'Wunderbar' which is a light hop, skip and a jump down memory lane for them, thus enabling a spark to briefly re-ignite their feelings for one another.
As 'KissMeKate' is effectively a play within a play, it would be easy to dismiss the storyline as confusion and organised chaos. However Urbani and Brighten give their dual characters real definition and depth so following the plotline is hassle free when they 'switch' persona in the blink of an eye.

Indoor scenes such as Fred and Lilli's dressing rooms, shown face on and an interconnecting door separating them, Fred's is ...
