This causes my skin to become extremely dry and gave me a rash , it also takes awhile for the makeup to be removed thoroughly.. won't be buying again.
I have sensitive, acne-prone combination skin. I tried using Ultrabland about a week ago because I wanted a cleanser that would do double duty by removing makeup. I normally use Lush's Angels on Bare Skin and love it.
Ultrabland did not work well for me! It brought back my acne. Now I'm trying to fix things by going back to my former routine. >___< These are my results/findings after just 3-4 days of Ultrabland:
--- easily removed foundation
--- seemed to help get rid of some small bumps on my forehead
--- creates that "squeaky clean" feeling, if you like that (I don't)
--- made me break out in regular & cystic acne along my cheeks & jaw
--- made me break out in tiny whiteheads (4-6)
--- I kept waking up with an oily T-zone (not normal for me)
--- have to use a washcloth each time to rub it off, which felt abrasive and creates more laundry
--- sucks at removing eye makeup
Overall, maybe this would be better for folks with really dry skin... I'm not sure! I do know a couple girls who are in their 20s and use this with no problem..

I was really reticent to use this just because some of LUSH's products (esp. their moisturizers) have broken me out. Ultrabland does not break me out!! Which is awesome in itself. I use it at night to wipe off my makeup. I wipe it off with a damp wash cloth. It doesn't take off all of my foundation, but it takes off most of it. I do remove my eye makeup beforehand because I wear a smokey eye every day and it gets messy. I have to go back over with BOFA toner and a cotton ball to make sure all the residue is off. I'm satisfied with this cleanser because it doesn't break me out, it takes off most of my makeup, and it isn't drying!! I highly recommend this cleanser for people who wear makeup daily with sensitive dry skin like myself.
UPDATE: Just repurchased. Really worth the money IMO it took me a little while to get used to this way of taking my makeup off but it's gentle and effective.
This is my HG moisturizer. It is meant to be a makeup remover/cleanser, but after I damaged my skin by adopting an overzealous regimen, i needed something super gentle and protective for my skin. Being an oily girl, I didn't have much that matched that description in my cabinet, except my once in a while makeup remover - Ultrabland. As a makeup remover, it's good. It does exactly what it says. Since I don't use it for that anymore, I'll only comment on how I use it.
I have oily, acne-prone, sensitive skin. Up until this point, CeraVe was my favorite moisturizer, since it was the only thing that kept my skin from flaking (Tazorac fan!). However, by late afternoon my face would feel tight again, and I suspected it might have been contributing to an occasional pimple (perhaps!). So as I mentioned, my skin was in bad shape. I slathered this on at night, feeling rather greasy, and went to bed. When I woke up, my skin was so much calmer and it had healed a considerable amount. Noticing this, I used it again as a daytime moisturizer (although I applied much less), and then applied my makeup. It was the first time in ages that my face didn't feel tight halfway through the day. Each day and night I used it, I saw my skin improve by leaps and bounds. Now, I would never give this up.
I will wrap up this review by saying I've been using it for two months now, AM and PM, after cleansing with CeraVe foaming cleanser and after applying Metronidazole cream (AM) and Tazorac (PM), both very drying products. I apply a teeny bit of Ultrabland around my mouth and eyes after applying my actives, and wait for it to sink in - about 10 min. I then spread it from my mouth and eyes to the rest of my face, since the heat from my skin makes it a lovely spreadable texture. My skin is the best it's ever been, and makeup goes on like a dream (although my skin is so well-behaved now, I've been going without makeup quite a bit lately!). HG for sure.
ETA: I've noticed some people saying Ultrabland contains peanut oil. I live in the States and get my Lush products shipped from Canada, and mine contains almond oil, not peanut oil. I have no idea how my skin would react to peanut oil, but it seems to be doing well with the almond oil formulation, so I pray they don't change the formula!

This product is great at removing heavy makeup even waterproof makeup. But I do not like the thick greasy feeling it leaves on my face, I digests have to use my facial cleanser afterwards and a deep cleansing one. I have oily skin so I've noticed that if I didn't use a cleanser after washing my face with ultraband the next morning my skin would be super oily & I did break out on the cheeks most likely from the oils clogging my pores & not getting a thorough cleansing... Great for removing all kind of makeup but in my case not for oily skin & definitely does not give me the kind of cleansing that I like.
Ultrabland was excellent in theory. Removing make up with wax. I have very acne-prone skin and am always concerned with getting all the make up off. I would get a dime size on my palm and massage it all over my face, then get a facial wipe dampen with hot water and wipe it off my face. I would proceed to use a cleanser afterwards. Ultrabland does do a great job in removing the toughest waterproof mascara but getting the wax off was not as easy. I noticed that my pores got congested after a few days of usage and I broke out. I can definitely rule out silicones, oils and waxes now for helping my skin.
My friend gave me a pot of this because he works there and gets tons of free products so I tried it out...
I loved the fact that it actually did it's job, it really does cleanse my skin and take my makeup off.. the only con which I didn't like is that I have to rub it all over my face with my makeup and I just feel icky and yuck.. that's why I didn't buy it again.. I don't like the way I have to take the makeup off with this,, then spray a toner on a cotton pad and clean off.. I don't know... I prefer to wash my face or cleanse with milk rather than rubbing my face..

This product is great! I use this after AOBS because my skin is starting to react to Skin Drink. The product comes in two sizes; I got the smallest. For how little you need the smallest size will probably last someone quite a while. I love the smell of this product, a little like honey and beeswax but oh so faintly and naturally. I used Ultrabland on my moist face after cleansing my makeup off and the product was thick but spread easily with the water. It felt coating, a little like a creamy petrolatum but more pleasant and natural! I love the smell of it on my face, it's very gentle. After wiping off with damp cotton wool my face is baby smooth and feels like a dream with no itchiness or irritation. This product reminds me of an ultra natural Pond's cream with no artificial crud. It's absolutely fantastic, I definitely recommend this products even for oily skin. While I have dry skin a friend of mine is going to try the Ultrabland with me because with oily skin you combat it with oil. The reason skin produces excess is because we use drying artificial and harsh ingredients on our skin. I think this would really help anyone with inflamed skin! Buying more tomorrow even and I have only used this once

To start off with, I am pretty sure this product made me break out. It removed makeup really well (foundation) but did nothing for eye makeup, it just made a huge smeary black mess on my face. It feels very luxurious and soothing especially when using a hot washcloth to steam your face and wipe it away after applying. It made my skin so soft and seemed to improve the texture of my skin a lot (though it made it a bit red from massaging it in). After about 1.5 weeks I started breaking out horribly all over my whole face, including places I have never broken out before (cheeks and under eyes). Price was a bit expensive ($16) but the jar would last a while, I think. If you have acne or clog prone skin, maybe reconsider buying.
Lush is one of my favourite shops and I regularly go into my local one to get bath bombs, face masks etc. I had never tried ultrabland before but asked for a sample one day as I was looking for an oil based cleanser which sounds strange as my skin has turned oily over the last year or so, but I had heard oil with oil works. The sales assistant gave me a sample in one of the tiny black pots, i thought it would last one or two uses. However it actually lasted my 7 days.
To use the product there are different ways, the way I use the cleanser is to take off my makeup. I get a pea sized amount out of the pot with clean hands and warm it in my fingers, then I rub it gently over my face massaging it in in small circles. I also go over my eyelids but I find if you are wearing heavy eye makeup it doesn't get it all off.
I then take 2 cotton pads and use the first one to wipe away the cleanser from my face, and the second one over my eyelids. There is still some residue left over so I spritz some toner onto another cotton pad and wipe my face over. Then all the makeup and dirt is gone.
I must add that I do use a cleanser after this, I basically use ultrabland as an alternative to face wipes which sting my face and don't quite get all the makeup off.
This cleanser is probably great for most skin types, some people will be put off by the texture and smell. It is very greasy/waxy an smells a bit like peanuts... But it is truly great.
It does seem expensive £6.75 for 45g but I have had the pot I bought 4 moths ago and it's still got about a third left, and I use it every night, when you think a pack of 20 face wipes is £2-3 a time it doesn't seem like an expensive purchase.
I find ultrbland to life any spots that are under the skin up to the surface... I used to suffer with awful red lumps on my face that never used to surface and would stay for a week, however this cleanser seems to pull them out of the pores so they aren't red and go away in a matter of days.
Overall this product is fantastic, I will buy it again when I eventually need too. If you do find this product too heavy then I would recommend lush's 9-5 cleanser which works along the same lines but is a lotion so a lot thinner than ultrbland.

A section of government employees in Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday observed strike against the bill seeking to provide reservation to SCs and STs in promotions in government jobs, affecting official works in the state.
Several employees abstained from work and staged protest meetings across the state during the strike called by Sarvjan Hitai Sanrakshan Samiti, an association of government employee.
The Samiti said the strike will continue tomorrow and protest meetings will be held before the Vidhan Sabha here and at the district-level, against the tabling of the bill in the Rajya Sabha.
Protesting the bill, the outfit said the reservation in promotions would not only disturb the basic structure of the Constitution, but would also encroach upon the right to equality.
"Luring voters in the name of reservation in promotion is harming social harmony and is not in the national interest," the Samiti's president Shailendra Dubey said.
"There have been four attempts in the past and this is the fifth one to amend the Constitution, and the three crore employees of the country would not tolerate it," he added.

How do I use a RGB image/layer with a Greyscale image/layer?
Thank you both for the help. OK... I don't have much control over the printer as I'm having something printed out a 48" wide HP InkJet off-site, and its being printed on gloss photo paper. Everything else I have had printed comes out great, just the brushed metal look seems to get that purple caste to it. I changed to greyscale and they printed out a quick sample and the metal looked perfect but of course I can't have color in the image or on certain layers. So to Desaturate all I do is click on the Desaturate in the dropdown while I'm highlighting that particular metallic layer? |

The nation's second largest book seller is closing all of its 399 remaining stores, after efforts to find a buyer for the company fell through.
With the liquidation, 10,700 workers -- almost entirely in the United States -- will lose their jobs.
Employees are flocking to online forums to pay their respects, and share memories of their days at the company.
"Being a bit of an oddkin my whole life, in 1993, Borders introduced me to folks just as too-smart and strange as I was," a former employee wrote on Facebook. "I feel an enormous sense of waste, seeing what I helped build over the years dissolve... No regrets meeting all those Bordersfolk over all those years. I am honored to have worked with you."

Tickets Still Available For Plaza Theater Gala To Benefit Kids Excel Program
POSTED: Wednesday, May 11, 2011 - 3:56pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, May 11, 2011 - 6:14pm
There'll be a public performance tomorrow and a gala to raise funds for the Kids Excel program.
A group of about 30 volunteers have been busy decorating the Plaza Theater. The decorations are all made from recyclable material to compliment the "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" theme.
The group of volunteers says they're turning trash into treasure and they hope that the community will come out and support this wonderful program, which 2,200 students across the Borderland participate in.
"Everything at the gala and the performance party is all underwritten, so anything that we raise goes to sponsoring children next year to be able to go up onstage and do the performance," said gala organizer Stacey Hunt.
Organizers say the gala promises to be a fun-filled night, with a silent auction and a raffle of some great prizes.
Here's the information for tomorrow's Kids Excel performance. It takes place at the Plaza Theater.
There's a pre-show reception at 5:00 p.m. The performance is at 6:00 p.m. followed by the gala from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p-m.
Tickets for the gala are $75. You can purchase tickets by calling 351-6999.

Hotel's striking columns make red the new green
Electric-red decorative metal columns from Móz Designs were used in the Art Deco-inspired lobby bar and reception center at the 3.2-million-sf Planet Hollywood Towers resort, which adjoins the Planet Hollywood Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. Faced with solid-core recycled aluminum, the 17 columns have a rippled pattern with a translucent holographic effect. The columns, which have a DuraFilm protective coating, disappear into illuminated overhead soffits, while satin-finished stainless steel base plates conceal up lighting. Móz ceiling tiles were used in the VIP porte-cochere. The materials are constructed from 80% post-industrial recycled materials and may contribute to LEED credits for recycled content.

.- Archbishop Louis Kebreau of Cap-Hatien and president of the Haitian Bishops' Conference, made the announcement that following Holy Week, the Port-au-Prince seminary will resume its activities interrupted by the country's January 12 earthquake.
Speaking to Aid to the Church in Need (ACN), Archbishop Kebreau said the seminarians from the various dioceses of Haiti will be housed in tents, along with the academic staff. "The new beginning is a sign of hope for our devastated and traumatized land," he stated.
"A great many Haitians are looking to their pastors for help and consolation, he said, noting that many continue to live in a state of shock after losing a spouse, children or other family members."
"The survivors have lost everything."
"The Church too, has lost a great many of her own pastoral workers, including laity, religious sisters, priests and bishops." The prelate added that counted among those who have died are 30 of the 260 seminarians at the former seminary."
Nevertheless, Archbishop Kebreau continued, "Things are now slowly returning to normal, but at the same time everyone knows there is still much work to be done. We are still at the very beginning."

Final Score: Central Michigan 48, Akron 21
Mount Pleasant, MI (Sports Network) - Dan LeFevour threw for four touchdowns and ran for another two as he led the Central Michigan Chippewas to a commanding 48-21 win against the Akron Zips in Mid-American Conference action at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
LeFevour, who went into the contest with just three passing touchdowns on the season, converted 23-of-31 for 197 yards in the triumph for the Chippewas (3-1, 1-0 MAC). The signal-caller also logged a game-high 140 yards rushing on 19 attempts as well.
The Zips (1-3, 0-1) were paced by Matt Rodgers who converted 12-of-19 passing for 127 yards and, while surviving five sacks, managed to work his way into the end zone twice on the ground.
CMU ripped off 20 unanswered points to start the afternoon, beginning with a 27-yard TD pass from LeFevour to Cody Wilson. LeFevour then combined with Kito Poblah on a four-yard scoring effort, but the PAT failed, leaving the Chippewas with a 13-0 edge heading into the second quarter.
The first of LeFevour's rushing touchdowns, a one-yard effort just 21 seconds into the second period, made the score 20-0.
Akron's first points of the day came courtesy of a 10-yard run by Rodgers less than five minutes later, making the score 20-7.
Central Michigan closed out the first half with two more touchdowns, the first on a two-yard run by LeFevour and the second a nine-yard scoring pass to Antonio Brown.
Trailing by 27 points heading into the second half, the Zips again turned to Rodgers to get them into the end zone, which he did on a one-yard run.
However, as was the case in the second quarter, the Chippewas responded with two more touchdowns as Brown reeled in a 13-yard TD pass from LeFevour and Paris Cotton hit the end zone on a three-yard run in the fourth period to give the home team a 48-14 advantage.
Joe Tuzze finished off the day's scoring with a nine-yard TD run for Akron, but it failed to change the outcome of the one-sided affair.
CMU, which converted 10-of-14 on third down and registered 523 yards of total offense, limited the Zips to a mere 196 yards and 1-of-12 on third down.

This has been a stellar year for me growing cucs. Normally I don't have this problem but these babies are still going strong (Diva) and they are at the top of the trellis. Wondering if I should leave well enough alone or pull the poles and lay the hole thing on the ground so they can keep a runnin. |
Follow-Up Postings:
OMG! They are beautiful! I would just leave them alone and let them fall over the other side of the trellis. My cukes are pooping out now. It looks like the leaves have some kind of virus. It has rained so much here in the last month and a half it's a wonder anything is still alive. |

Eco-friendliness should be repaid with equally amicable treatment, striking a delightful dialogue as the Tactil Bicycle Rack does with neighborhood cyclists. This design by Barcelona's Santa & Cole evades the conventional industrial and ugly look of many pushbike parks and rather embodies a charming sculptural quality through the use of Cor-Ten steel.
The 4P1B Design Studio project comprises a flat rectangular stake which stands nearly as tall as the average bicycle seat. Without remaining too stark and rigid, the bike rack bollard has been embellished by the excision of a sinuous and elongated arm, extending upwards into an open five-fingered hand. The outline of the limb is completely enclosed within the durable material, providing a secure place to loop a bike lock. The Tactil Bicycle Rack allows enough space for a pedal to be pushed into the base to hold a two-wheeler steady.

text: Ipanema, here she comes. Diane von Furstenberg sent her girls packing to Brazil and neighboring lands — "from disco in Rio to polo in Argentina" — in a collection that was fun, feisty and oh so hot, occasionally too much so. She cut her dresses short and sensual, some with one shoulder, and kept to a party palette of tropical hues. Polkadots were a recurring motif, rendered in oversize prints and shimmying confetti paillettes. And in keeping with her "la petite valise" approach, she offered some appealing items — a boyish slouchy T-shirt, a sweet eyelet top and an arty paint-splattered jean. It was a spirited Rio romp, only lacking caipirinhas and a cabana boy or two.
