For application, the limited edition Powder Brush made of natural hair is available with a festive, shimmery, metallic handle especially for Christmas. The large dome allows for easy application of powder for smooth, even delivery. As with all Clinique brushes it utilises a unique anti-bacterial technology that protects the brush to ensure a high level of hygiene. It’s the perfect beauty tool to help make the festive season glow.

Colour Surge Eyeshadow Quad creates looks ranging from subtle and soft to a sexy and sophisticated smokey eye. Clinique eyeshadows build quickly and blend easily offering effortless sheen and luminosity. The perfect eye makeup can be finished with Brush-On Cream Liner an ultra smooth, creamy gel liner that provides the precision of a liquid liner enabling it to be laid on thick or thin, subtle or dramatic. Either way, this fast-drying, non-smudging, waterproof eye liner delivers a precise line every time.

Lips are treated to the must-have party lip gloss with Full Potential Lips Plump & Shine. A multi-purpose, high-shine lip gloss which instantly and over time makes even the most modest lips appear fuller, softer and more contoured. Layered over Clinique’s Different Lipstick in A Different Grape or High Impact Lip Colour SPF 15, a sophisticated lipstick that delivers superior colour and moisturising benefits from the moment it’s applied.

Access Discounts Introduces DIY Garden Lighting Equipment

AccessDiscounts.com – a leading supplier of grow lights, residential lighting and commercial lighting, is pleased to announce savings on its entire selection of lighting systems and supplies. In addition to offering a full range of lighting products for commercial and residential applications, www.accessdiscounts.com boasts a comprehensive selection of grow light systems, supplies and accessories for professional and amateur growers and gardeners alike.

Do-It-Yourself gardening is in the midst of unprecedented growth. Sparked by growing concerns over the effects of agro-chemicals on both food safety and the environment, consumers are increasingly turning to at-home cultivation of produce. According to the National Gardening Society, the number of households utilizing all-natural gardening methods has increased by 140% over the last five years.

Long familiar to gardeners in cold climates or with limited outdoor space, indoor growing offers a number of advantages: it enables year-round cultivation and a diversity of specimens unattainable through conventional outdoor growing. Grow lighting is also invaluable as a supplement to natural light, providing a solution for gardeners looking to sustain produce, plants and flowers through winter seasons.

Thanks to innovations in energy-efficient lighting, along with advances in fertilization and growing techniques, successful indoor growing is easier, more economical and more environment-friendly than ever.

Introduced within the last few years, LED lightbulbs represent the latest in commercial and residential lighting technology. Once used exclusively in electronics, LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are now used to power lightbulbs which offer unmatched energy- and cost-efficiency compared with conventional lighting systems. LED systems are up to 33 times more efficient than fluorescent and last up to fifty times longer; they operate at much lower temperatures, dramatically reducing risk of fire or burning. And since these lightbulbs are non-toxic, they are environmentally safe.

Accessdiscounts.com is proud to be a leading supplier of LED grow light systems, offering “simply the best-priced and highest quality grow systems in the industry,” according to Christina Roush, spokesperson for Access Discounts. As with all of Accessdiscounts.com’s lighting systems, they are 100% USA-made and backed by a 30-day money back guarantee.

About Access Discounts
AccessDiscounts.com provides a wide selection of grow lights, home lighting and commercial lighting of the highest quality. Leveraging the close relationships developed with top lighting manufacturers, Access Discounts is able to provide the very best in lighting solutions at affordable prices.

Although HCGSupplies does not sell HCG, shoppers will find a extensive collection of mixing equipment, kits and information.

“With Thanksgiving and holiday indulgences right around the corner, savvy dieters can enlist the aid of weight-loss resources and books, such as Kevin Trudeau’s ‘The Weight Loss Cure “They” Don’t Want You to Know About’,” said Jim Sparks, marketing director, HCGSupplies.com. “The HCG mixing kits we offer were designed with readers of the Trudeau book in mind and both make great gifts for close family or friends who want to start a diet next year.”

The Kevin Trudeau Weight Loss Cure is a special weight loss cure that involves the use of the natural human pregnancy hormone HCG. This cure for obesity was developed in Europe over thirty years ago by Dr. Simeons. Trudeau has slightly modified the original weight loss protocol, but the basics are the same.

The HCG weight loss protocol has been adapted for modern use by Kevin Trudeau, and has a large following among dieters seeking to lose weight. Today, the HCG protocol offers a weight-loss solution that does not involve surgery or starvation. Finding a reliable source for information and supplies, as well as a good-old fashioned support network are critical to a successful weight loss campaign.

Cloggs.co.uk Won’t Let Royal Mail Strikes Affect Delivery Times

Royal Mail is experiencing a series of one day strikes that will cripple the UK postal service, but Cloggs is determined not to let it affect delivery of shoes to its customers. Offering an alternative, free delivery service via another carrier, Cloggs.co.uk has put its customers first once again.

Just like any other online retail business, Cloggs relies completely on the UK postal service to deliver shoes and boots to its customers on time. With Royal Mail strikes posing a real threat to online traders, Cloggs.co.uk didn’t want its customers to worry unnecessarily, especially in the run up to Christmas. Cloggs’ proactive, forward thinking attitude has ensured that this will not be the case.

Even though Cloggs only use Royal Mail ‘Tracked’ services (which they have been assured by senior management at Royal Mail will remain unaffected by the strike – even if senior managers have to hand deliver them themselves), Cloggs wanted to completely reassure customers and offer them alternative delivery methods.

Instead of customers wondering when their top brand shoes and boots like the latest UGGs would show up once they have ordered, Cloggs is offering people the choice, at checkout, to opt for a Priority free delivery service via HDNL (the UK’s largest home delivery service).

It’s easy to opt for the free 1-2 day priority service via HDNL on the Cloggs.co.uk website. Whether purchasers want to buy a pair of UGG Boots like the latest UGG Bailey Button, Fitflop Boots, Dr Martens Boots and Timberland Boots, or even a pair of winter Crocs, this delivery option is selected as standard on the order summary page. All buyers have to do is fill out the details required and let Cloggs do the rest.

One-of-a-kind Jacket Set to Auction

FotoLum, a small company really big on innovations, is set to auction off a custom designer, one-of-a-kind, show-stopper jacket. The handmade jacket glows in the dark with an incredible intensity, energy free! No batteries required, kids!

The company intends to make only one of these hand made fashion statements. Forget about turning heads. This jacket will spin them like a top! The jacket appears to have a life of its own through the pure energy it emits. No need for candles during that romantic candlelight dinner.

FotoLum searched the elite world of fashion design and managed to locate an obscure Frenchman in the foothills of the Pyrenees. That man is La Maistre; eccentric, talented and virtually unknown. The canvas he uses to express his art is not the traditional range of rich fabrics the world has to offer, but rather rare cast vinyl.

That fact made La Maistre perfect for the job. FotoLum’s proprietary photo luminescent vinyl is designed for tough durability and safety, not the elegant draping and shaping associated with high fashion design. Created from rare earth minerals combined through heat and pressure, the photo luminescent crystals possess a diamond-like hardness. In fact, Le Maistre commented that in creating this amazing fashion statement, he went through multiple pairs of $300 professional-grade sewing shears.

The FotoLum Jacket glows so brightly, this photo only required a one-second exposure. It glows after being exposed to light – natural or artificial and will NEVER lose it’s ability to charge up and glow.

Clearly, this creation – dubbed the Glow n’ Show Jacket is meant to be worn by an individual as unique as the jacket. And someone very well-off. Rumor has it that the bidding will start at $30,000 US! But the impact it will have when the owner struts into a night club or appears on-stage in a performance will be breathtaking. This jacket is a statement maker and there is only one of them in the entire world. La Maistre hasn’t disclosed the actual amount of time it took him to create his masterpiece, but experts speculate that it could have approached hours in the triple digits.

WOMbat Clothing Customers To Go Bonkers For Conkers

IT’S conkers season again, and to bring the spirit of the game alive for their customers, WOMbat Clothing stores are to stage conkers tournaments for all-comers over the next three weekends.

Participants don’t even need to go to the trouble of hunting for their own conkers, as the stores are being supplied with plenty of ready-strung horse chestnuts, so that customers can recreate the excitement of one of the ultimate school playground games in their WOMbat Clothing store.

This is a great chance for customers to relive some of their most memorable playground moments, or even perhaps for some to discover the excitement and elation of a conker tournament for the first time. And because the stores are providing the ammunition, there’ll be no accusations of‘nut nobbling’, or any of the other unsporting practices which school mates might have resorted to.

Store visitors will be able to either take part in a league contest with fellow WOMbat customers, challenge WOMbat staff to a ‘fight to the death’ or, if the queues at the tills start getting a little long, a rapid-fire best-of-three or best-of-five shoot-out. And there’ll be prizes of 10% off purchases made, or £10 WOMbat vouchers, depending on the format of the competition each store chooses. Details will be posted in each store.

Staff will officiate at every game, and in the event of any disputes will have the final say.

“We thought this would be a great way of encouraging people into our stores, and an event which would demonstrate that the WOMbat Clothing brand is all about fun, excitement and a passion for life,” said WOMbat’s Victoria Tingey.

Anyone interested in taking part can find the location of your nearest WOMbat Clothing store here, and call in on the next three Saturdays and Sundays to take part in the Great British conker fight.

Or they might just want to cheer on their mates and watch the action unfold. Either way, it’s a great way to experience what one of the newest, funkiest clothing retailers on the block is all about, and to discover a range of fun, funky and environmentally-friendly sports and leisure clothing as well as fair trade clothing that’s ‘born to be worn’.

POD Retail Displays Have Launched Their Innovative New Website With Hundreds Of Retail Display Products

POD Retail has branched out from the exhibition industry into the retail industry with their wide range of glass display cabinets. They have gone on to incorporate a range of picture and poster display for point of sale, cable and rod mounted displays for effective window displays, queue management systems including point of purchase display stands and outdoor retail display products.

POD Retail Displays

Not only can POD Retail Displays now provide a greater choice of retail display products, but also information displays, exhibition stands and outdoor display equipment.

Joe Plosky commented on the new website developments “Over the past few months we have been working really hard to get a functional, user friendly, informative website to display our great range of retail products. Our display cabinet range has been a huge success, and we know our other retail products add great value to retailers. We know all of our customers are going to benefit from the changes.”

The careful selection of all these retail display products has resulted in a great choice of quality shop displays at reasonable prices. We have selected high quality retail products that provide value for money, but that will also stand up to the strains that a public environment can put on display products.

The range of retail display products include light box displays, cable mounted displays, freestanding display stands, literature stands and in queue management systems.

In this difficult period for many retailers, it is good to have a company that can provide small shops and stores to large corporate companies with the retail displays they need to effectively promote their products and services.

A Boards, Pavement Signs, Forecourt signs, Promotional counters and Picture and poster displays are just some of the retail display equipment that can help retailers advertise and promote their goods. All these display products and more can be found on POD Retail Displays website at http://www.pod-retail-display-systems.co.uk.

Gold Recycling Service at H.Samuel

H.Samuel has launched a new gold recycling service, offering consumers the opportunity to exchange their old and unwanted jewellery for cash.

With the rise in gold prices and a growing demand for websites offering cash for gold, H.Samuel has begun to offer customers a high quality and secure service. Operating as an online-only offering, consumers simply have to request a pack, send in their gold and wait for a quote by email or telephone. If they accept the quote, a cheque will be sent to them within 72 hours.

In these cash strapped times and with Christmas fast approaching, H.Samuel’s new gold recycling service could prove a great help for consumers who find themselves a little bit short of cash. With none of the risks involved in taking out a loan, plus the added security of using a major high street retailer, raising some extra cash couldn’t be easier, safer or more convenient.

H.Samuel gold recycling is easy to use; customers fill in their details and a gold recycling pack will be sent to them free of charge and with no obligation.

After receiving their gold recycling pack, customers complete the enclosed form and place their unwanted gold into the protective packaging provided. The items are then posted using the prepaid special delivery envelope. Postage is free and the package is insured for up to £500.

H.Samuel will then contact the customer with a valuation by phone or email. The customer can either accept or reject the offer. If the customer accepts the valuation, a cheque will be sent to them within a few days.

H.Samuel will buy gold in any condition, even if it is tangled, broken or has missing stones. This applies to rings (not stone-set), earrings (singles or pairs), loose earring backs and body jewellery, cufflinks, tie pins etc, hallmarked and un-hallmarked gold, and gold which has been purchased abroad. There is no need for customers to clean or sort items before sending.

The new H.Samuel Gold Recycling service is unfortunately unable to accept: gold plated jewellery, platinum, silver, stone set jewellery (e.g. diamond rings), coins, bars, ingots, sovereigns and kruggerands, watches, new items or items that appear new (e.g., price tagged) or dental gold.

Gold recycling at H.Samuel is perfect for consumers who want to exchange gold for cash with a trustworthy and secure service.
