The Crystal Sun – Czech Crystal Chandeliers
about Czech Crystal
More than 500 years ago, in the territory of the former Kingdom of Bohemia, skilled craftsmen began to discover ways of molding glass into beautiful shapes. By the beginning of the 17th century, Bohemian glassmakers were manufacturing glass of such quality that it closely resembled natural crystal.
Since the 17th century, Bohemia has been the center of the crystal glass industry. Originally, sodium oxide was used as

Ship models have captured the imaginations of people young and old. We imagine ourselves captaining or perhaps crewing on these diminutive, yet amazingly accurate representations of full-sized ships.

Over-Mantel Mirrors
The first place we think of placing a mirrors is over the fireplace. In the late 18th century the invention of over-mantel mirrors lunched a major trend in the decoration of private mansions in Europe. Fireplace mantels were lowered and large horizontal mirrors, often in elaborate gold frames, were mounted above them. The facts are confirm to us by the large mirrors over fireplace mantels at the end of 17th century, but over-mantel mirrors became especially

Customer Reviews
Zinio took my money but won't renew subscription
I tried to renew my "Shutterbug" magazine subscription, which Zinio claimed had expired, despite the app saying I had three issues left. They charged my credit card via the iTunes store, and after the charge was successfully accepted, the Zinio app gave me an error message saying there was a "problem". I contacted their support people, as instructed by the error message, and gave them proof of the charge, the error message number, my email ID, and the app version, as they requested. Yet they refuse to fix the problem. Now I have to dispute the charge with Apple and my credit card company. What a hassle.
Wonderful and Useful App
It has never given me any problem, works really well. I use it everyday to read and I switch between magazines several time a day, very smooth. Highly recommend.
Inoperative app
Gives you the error that "device is running low on storage space" AFTER it downloads EVERY back edition available, will not let you remove them. App closes itself so you can "free up storage space".
If you would let me delete these old issues from my device..... DUH! Your app is messing up, and, now, your app is not letting me fix it!
APPLE: Shut down the in app purchasing until fixed, get these idiots attention.

I'm not convinced that Enwere will flip to Michigan. I just haven't seen him say anything that indicates they've made a jump, whether it's excitement about playing time, playing for a potential winner, being like some of the other running backs that have played for Michigan, etc. The one thing Michigan has going for it is a better record/chance of winning than Cal, who just had a terrible season. And while that's significant, it just seems like he's not super interested in coming to Ann Arbor.

This is the best lasagna I have ever had! I left out the carrots but followed everything else exactly. It was a little expensive and time consuming but so worth it for my fiance's birthday dinner. Even my 8 year old picky daughter liked this and she is a chicken nugget/pizza kinda kid! The alfredo recipe that was recommended was also awesome and I will definitely keep that one! I am very happy I tried this, thanks!
I Made this for my family....some of them are picky eaters..everyone loved it!! Its a good way to get the kids to eat vegtables!
Wow! We all loved this! I made exactly as written, including the suggested Real Alfredo Sauce. We will definately make this again! [Made for PRMR]
I made double one for me and one for my sister-in-law when they had a new baby. Next time I will make 2 smaller ones (8 X 8) instead of 1 large (9 X 13). We have 2 adults who love to eat and a 3 year old who sometimes eats. I think the half size would be sufficient for dinner and leftovers for lunch. This dish is amazingly tastey, but very rich so portion sizes were pretty small. I also used no boil noodles which worked out nicely. I used an alfredo with roasted red peppers instead of separate red peppers, part skim ricotta, and 2% milk mozzarella. I tried to save a litle on fat & calories! I thought that it was very good,and I will make again!
I made some changes to this - one I used elbow macaroni noodles because I just didn't want to fiddle around with lasagna noodles, and two I omitted the mushrooms and added some sliced zucchini in with the vegetable layer. This recipe can be very dependent on what Alfredo sauce you use... but we just loved it and decided that it really didn't even need the chicken. I sprinkled some breadcrumbs on top for a little extra something and even the 3 and 5 year old boys dug in - but they love veggies. I would defiantly make this again!
Wow, what a great recipe! Thanks so much for a fantastic addition to my meal rotation. I omitted the chicken in order to make it a meatless meal and it was still delicious. Again, thanks!
This was delicious! I cheated a bit and used no boil noodles, it turned out fine. I really like the veggie component to this and can't wait to try freezing it. This would be a great "new baby casserole" I used Gatorbek's Alfredo sauce recipe and it's fabulous!
This is excellent! I used homemade alfredo sauce (My Real Alfredo Sauce, thanks 2Bleu!) and chose to omit the mushrooms. I baked it covered with foil for 40 minutes, then uncovered for 15 minutes. Unfortunately, the perfectionist in me wanted "just a tad� more brown and bubbly on top, so the last 2 minutes under my broiler were a big mistake – I crisped the top a bit too much. However, had I just quit while I was ahead, I would have been pleased with the results. Live and learn. Thanks, Bleu, for an excellent recipe! My kids ate their veggies!
So good! I cut the recipe in half, as I was only cooking for one. I made my own alfredo/bechamel type sauce and I added some finely chopped mushrooms to the ricotta step, which was a nice touch, I also added black pepper to this phase too. Unfortunately, I thought I had some regular noodles and did not think to double check... I only had some no-boil noodles, I'd bought two packages some time ago and didn't really care for them and just never used the 2nd package.... until making this forced me to use them up! I still don't care for no-boil but in this recipe they turned out rather well, considering! It needed longer to bake than what the recipe noted, but it turned out very well! I might try a little more emphasis on rosemary next time, simply for household fondness.

Sir Richard Branson reveals his secrets to good health – kitesurfing!
Yes, I'm 6ft 2in and weigh 11st 11lb, but I work out more for fitness than anything else. I pop into the gym when I'm travelling, play tennis and kitesurf, and ran the marathon last year. I think it's good for a woman to put on a bit of weight when she gets older — it looks better. But a man has to stay balanced.

HDR stands for "high dynamic range," and enabling it will give you brighter, sharper, and more well-lit images. Tap "HDR On" at the top of the screen in camera view. There are a few dos and don'ts, but for the most part, HDR will give you the best picture possible.
It essentially takes a series of images, each shot with a different exposure from darkest to lightest. HDR combines the best parts of the three overexposed, underexposed, and balanced shots to create a dramatic image with beautiful shadowing and highlights.

Ready. Aim. Baby name!
Levi Johnston, an avid hunter whose girlfriend Sunny Oglesby is five months' pregnant with their daughter, plans to name the baby "Breeze Beretta" after the Italian handgun, the couple tell Inside Edition.
Johnston, 21, who also has 3-year-old son Tripp with ex- fiancé Bristol Palin, hopes to be a better father for Breeze, saying his relationship with Oblesby, 20, is stronger than the one he had with Sarah Palin's daughter.
"I'm actually in love," he says, "not doing it just because we had a kid together."

Love this! Lasts all day and does not smudge. I got if free with a mascara. Love that I don't have to sharpen this.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
This is my favorite eyeliner. Its the only one i have tried that lasts alllll day. Even after i take a shower and wash my face its still there lol. I love it.
The only thing that really takes it off easily are the almay oil free make-up remover wipes. They are amazing as well. [and cheap, which is a plus]
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Brown
Lots of people suggested this eyeliner to me when I said I had sensitive skin around the eye area. Here is what I came up with:
[ PROS ] - long-lasting, easy to apply, sharpening factor was good
[ CONS ] - caused a serious reaction - flakes/redness, you name it
I believe that it caused such a serious reaction for me, perhaps because of the 16-hour factor. Any product that has amazing staying power I hear (esp. eye products) just aren't good for sensitive skin. Thus, I am 100% certain I would not repurchase this.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Normal, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Red, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
Ok so i only give this product 3 lipsticks because it doesn't last on my waterline. But but but it does last every where else. It goes on very well and i like the fact that you don't have to sharpen it. Also its just a nice deep black color. So i put this product on the lash line and then put macs liquid last on my waterline. So the macs liquid last is good for the waterline and it stays all day, but it does kind of crack on the waterline after awhile. So if anyone knows a good liquid eye liner that really lasts well on the waterline please let me know.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
Pros: non-irritating, intense black, very easy to apply, stays fresh-looking all day without smudging or fading!
Cons: will not stay on waterline, will not come off with cleansers that usually remove m/u, eye m/u remover is a must (Almay Non-oily Eye Makeup Remover does the trick).
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
Awful. This does not last for 16 hours. I'm lucky if it lasts for 2 hours without having to re-apply. I only wear it on my waterline, and disappears after a couple hours. It doesn' t even look black, more like a grey. The colour fades too easily. The sharpener is horrible and useless. The only positive about this product is that it glides on smoothly.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Tan, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
My friend's eyes always looked really great and I asked what eyeliner she used and she recommended this one so I went and got this and instead of making my eyes look great like hers, I ended up throwing it away! Maybe it's just my eyes or my skin, I don't know but it looked really harsh on me (and made my eyes look strangely darker) and it dragged so badly! It looks great on some people but I guess it's just not the eyeliner for me.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Black
Pros: Amazing staying power. Reasonably priced. Very pigmented color.
Cons: Messy, useless sharpener (that came with it on the end of the pen). Drags a little.
Will maybe buy again if I don't find anything better.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Tan, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I bought this 3 years ago in anticipation for prom and I was satisfied with it. It didnt really last as long as I liked without budging but thats b/c my lids become oily. The liner really is a dark black color and goes on smoothly. I threw mines out 2 weeks ago because when I tried using it on my eyelids, there was a lot of tugging because the pencil became hard. I drew it on the back of my hand to see if it could be used, but it took a longgg time to get those marks off. So, I guess this is a good purchase but it's not good for the long run.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Acne-prone, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I really like this eyeliner. It lasts for quite a long time (although it does fade) and stays in place, but sometimes the corners smudge a little.. but I think it looks sexy. :) It glides on really easily, too, and doesn't irritate my eyes like other eyeliners.

Product Overview
The Land belongs to the future... that's the way it seems to me... I might as well try to will the sunset over there to my brother's children. We come and go, but the land is always here. And the people who love it and understand it are the people who own it--for a little while.
|Random House Inc
|Mfg Part#
|Release Date
Author Info
|Willa Cather
|Willa Cather was born in Virginia, but her family journeyed west to acquire land, and she was raised in Nebraska from the age of 9. She graduated from the University of Nebraska in 1895, and moved from the rural west to the urban east after college, becoming a journalist and editor and settling, finally, in New York City. Her first published book was a volume of poetry, and she continued to work as a journalist, until the publication of her first novel, ALEXANDER'S BRIDGE in 1912, enabled her to write fiction full time. She traveled to Europe in 1902, and to the Southwest in 1912; both visits enabled her to put her Nebraska childhood in a larger context. She returned to all these places in her fiction--famously, the prairie towns she knew so well, in O PIONEERS. Cather, who often dressed as a boy in her youth, was a lifelong lesbian, though perhaps this was expressed only in ardent friendships with her many women friends. She often used male narrators in her works, and favored strong, independent women--often artists. Her perennial theme was the artist's need for freedom, expressed vividly and convincingly in such works as THE SONG OF THE LARK and LUCY GAYHEART.
From the Publisher
|Willa Cather's O PIONEERS!, first published in 1913, tells the story of Alexandra Bergson, the daughter of a Swedish pioneering family, who successfully takes over the management of the family farm upon her father's death. The story encompasses Alexandra's difficult relationships with her brothers, Oscar and Lou, her love for a neighbor, Carl Lindstrom, and the tragic romance between her youngest brother, Emil, and a married woman. The setting is as important as the events of the story, however. Alexandra's near-obsessive love for the huge sky and vast plains of Nebraska is part of what fuels the plot, and Cather's chronicle of the prairie's evolution from a raw and wild landscape to thriving farmland reflects her own love of the land and her admiration for the immigrants who worked it. O PIONEERS! is an early novel, and in later books Cather would become more skilled at dialogue and plotting, but the passionate conviction she brought to this novel secures its position as one of her greatest works.
|First Line
|One January day, thirty years ago, the little town of Hanover, anchored on a windy Nebraska tableland, was trying not to be blown away. A mist of fine snowflakes was curling and eddying about the cluster of low drab buildings huddled on the gray prairie, under a gray sky.
|Editors Note
|After her father dies, Alexandra courageously maintains the family farm and raises her young brother, who is eventually killed by a jealous husband, throwing Alexandra into despair until she meets the strapping Carl Linstrum
|Editors Note 3
|One of America's greatest women writers, Willa Cather established her talent and her reputation with this extraordinary novel—the first of her books set on the Nebraska frontier. A tale of the prairie land encountered by America's Swedish, Czech, Bohemian, and French immigrants, as well as a story of how the land challenged them, changed them, and, in some cases, defeated them, Cather's novel is a uniquely American epic. Alexandra Bergson, a young Swedish immigrant girl who inherits her father's farm and must transform it from raw prairie into a prosperous enterprise, is the first of Cather's great heroines—all of them women of strong will and an even stronger desire to overcome adversity and succeed. But the wild land itself is an equally important character in Cather's books, and her descriptions of it are so evocative, lush, and moving that they provoked writer Rebecca West to say of her: "The most sensuous of writers, Willa Cather builds her imagined world almost as solidly as our five senses build the universe around us."Willa Cather, perhaps more than any other American writer, was able to re-create the real drama of the pioneers, capturing for later generations a time, a place, and a spirit that has become part of our national heritage.From the Paperback edition.

On October 1, 2012, Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney outlined his own version of imperialist American foreign policy before the Virginia Military Institute. What Romney described was, in its goals, no different than that of any other President since JFK.
As was made clear in his speech, the presentation of the mutated Manifest Destiny to be ushered in by Romney would be significantly more open than the "leading from behind" destabilization and coalition-based Obama treachery, as the candidate has clearly stated this on more than one occasion.
Essentially, while Obama has continued and accelerated every disastrous policy of the Bush Administration, Romney has openly announced his intention to do the same. The only difference is that the Romney doctrine will supplant the deceitful, secretive, and treacherous nature of Obama's foreign policy for a more ham-fisted and brazenly aggressive position.
You are correct of course, Q2IN2Y. Obama, Romney, and the media are all owned by the liberals who are selling the U.S. out to a one world government. Therefore, Obama, Romney, and the media's bosses are paying all of them to play out a charade of convincing everyone that Romney needs to replace Obama because they want Romney to finish destroying U.S. sovereignty.

I've been getting the same feeling with media too. Like they know Romney is going to be elected. The way they phrase certain things and the stories they choose to cover, etc.

KIEV, Ukraine — Ukraine accused Russia on Wednesday of conducting a large military buildup near the countries' border that raises the threat of an invasion, but Moscow denied that.
Andriy Parubiy, secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defense Council, told reporters in Kiev that Russia has deployed more than 80,000 troops, up to 270 tanks and 140 combat planes close to the border, creating the "threat of a full-scale invasion from various directions."
Parubiy said Russian troops are based in the immediate vicinity of the Ukrainian border, some of them as close as a two- or three-hour drive from Kiev, the Ukrainian capital.
In Moscow, Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov denied a military buildup on the nearly 2,000-kilometer (1,250-mile) border.
He also said Moscow has accepted a request that Ukraine made Tuesday to conduct a surveillance flight over Russian territory.
Antonov said that while Russia was not obliged to allow such a flight, it decided to issue permission for one so that Ukraine can see for itself that "Russian armed forces aren't conducting any military activities near the border of Ukraine that could threaten its security."
Russian forces have secured control over Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula, and Russia's parliament has given President Vladimir Putin permission to use the military to protect Russian speakers in Ukraine.
Crimea plans to hold a referendum on Sunday that will ask residents if they want the territory to become part of Russia. Ukraine's government and Western nations have denounced the referendum as illegitimate and warned Russia against trying to annex Crimea.
Parubiy said Russia could try to seize government buildings in eastern regions of Ukraine and demand a referendum there. He said such plans have been thwarted, thanks to efforts of Ukrainian law enforcement agencies.
Parubiy added that Ukrainian authorities have denied 3,700 Russian citizens permission to enter Ukraine because they were suspected of being involved in extremism and sabotage.
Crimea, where Russia maintains its Black Sea Fleet base, became the epicenter of tensions in Ukraine after President Viktor Yanukovych fled last month following months of protests.
Parubiy said 399 people already have registered as refugees from Crimea.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk was meeting with President Barack Obama in Washington on Wednesday. Yatsenyuk has asked the West to defend Ukraine against Russia, calling it a country that is "armed to the teeth and that has nuclear weapons."
NATO on Wednesday deployed two surveillance aircraft to monitor Ukraine's air space and Black Sea ship movements as Russia consolidated its military buildup in Crimea.
NATO headquarters spokesman Lt. Col. Jay Janzen said one Boeing E-3 Sentry aircraft based in England would observe Russian air and sea movements from Polish air space, while the other based in Germany would fly over Romania. Both Poland and Romania are NATO members and border Ukraine, and Romania's Black Sea coast is only about 220 kilometers (140 miles) from the Crimean Peninsula.
Also on Wednesday, a Pentagon spokesman, Army Col. Steve Warren, said the U.S. is sending 12 F-16 fighter jets to Poland to augment the air force detachment there. He said there is no scheduled departure date for the fighter jets and they will be there "until further notice."
Last week, the Pentagon sent six F-15 fighter jets to Lithuania to bolster air patrols over the Baltics, adding to the four such planes that previously had been there for the mission.

I love this product, but the price is rediculous. $20 for one sponge? Ummm.. But anyways, it does what it's supposed to and helps apply foundation quickly. One hassle is washing it every day, but if you don't, it gets dirty really easily. I wash it with baby shampoo and warm water, and it works like a charm. No need to buy their sponge cleaner. I used an EcoTools foundation brush before this, which I liked a lot, but the beauty blender is even better. I use this every day. :)

I think this is a great tool....I just hate the price! Really? $20 for a sponge? There are others out there that will pretty much do the same thing for way less money. When they bring the price down to match this crap economy, I may purchase another one. By the way, my friend insisted I have this thing and bought me one for my bday. Thank you to her, but I would never spend that much myself. I do love it and I'm so not dogging it....just really??? $$$$ ugh
EDIT: I can get several Real Techniques and ELF brushes for the same money and I adore them :-) Just sayin'

OMG OMG OMG I LOOOOOOVE MY BEAUTY BLENDER! My makeup would be a TRAIN WRECK without it. It blends so flawlessly and has saved my foundation and concealer application and finish from the disaster it was in. Before, makeup was a hassle. It took FOREVER to blend, and even after all the blending it never looked natural or flawless whatsoever. My foundation always looked terrible. People would comment, and it was just hurtful that it looked THAT BAD. But I discovered these little angels when my friend told me she bought a couple of these off Sephora .. she told me it was "the new thing", but I was hesitant because of the price tag.. but I am SO glad I caved in and splurged on this. I will buy these till the day I die. I am completely SOLD. It's worth every single penny. I don't care about the inconvenience of washing it all the time because of the prevalence of bacteria. Almost all of us use a tool to apply makeup so we're always going to have to clean something. I just don't get the big deal about "OMG bacteria" about this product. How is this any different than a brush? Brushes carry tons of bacteria too. Some people are so squeamish about it I guess. All I have to say is just clean it religiously if it's that big of a deal! I wash mine pretty consistently, and have not been completely grossed out once. All you have to do is keep it clean, just like any other makeup tool and there won't be bacteria accumulating on it.

I love this sponge. I get a flawless application that I definitely can't achieve with any dupe sponges. It is worth a try if you love liquid foundation!!!

Not for me.
Ridiculously overpriced. Impossible to keep sanitary and clean. I know some people love it and that's fine but I don't.
I know people will say just wash it in warm water/alcohol/various soaps. I work in a hospital and there is a reason hospitals and medical facilities simply do NOT use any type of sponges for anything, unless they are disposed of immediately. Sponges are a breeding ground for bacteria of all sorts and there is no way you can ensure it is completely disinfected unless maybe you microwaved it with sanitizer. Really.I don't feel the results are worth all that fuss.
Second, I prefer to use a smaller triangular wedge or my Sephora Airbrush Brush. It looks way more natural and doesn't leave that weird sponge-y texture the beautyblender does. Also I can toss my little wedge after using it several times without spending a fortune on a new one. A pack of 20 will set me back $1.00 Although this is wasteful so I prefer the brush. The brush can easily be washed in detergent soaps or with alcohol to sanitize. I find the beautyblender just soaks up all the foundation even if I use it damp (and leaving it even slightly damp creates a lovely breeding party for bacteria). Takes too much time to blend around face compared to my brush which takes less than 2 minutes and looks 100x better.
All in all I think this is just a marketing gimmick, like La Mer cream only instead of them charging you $200 for a tub of Vaseline - some company is charging you $20 for nothing more than a 5 cent sponge. Funny enough, my friend worked in a sponge factory and it costs them even less than 5 cents to make something similiar. Complete rubbish, save your money.

CLEANING: I will start by addressing the hard-to-get-clean / stained issue. I too had that problem when I immediately tried to wash it after applying makeup. It is as though the water "sets" the stain and it will not wash out completely.
As I found out by fluke, the trick is to apply the makeup, then let the sponge DRY with the makeup on it -- do not wash it yet. The next day, when you are ready to apply your makeup, run it under the water and by the second squeeze, the makeup will be all gone and the sponge will look good as new. Then you can add your soap and wash it before applying the new makeup. Afterwards, let it dry again with the makeup on it. The sponge (and this goes for the dupes too) will stay looking brand new by doing it this way.
Now for the review: I bought the Beauty Blender after having tried a couple dupes, which had also greatly improved the look of my makeup. Over the years I've had a harder time getting makeup to not look cakey or uh, plain bad... because my skin has become drier. Tried different moisturizers underneath, different makeup, all the same results. (Except I will say the Clinique Moisture surge did help a lot with the look of the makeup--I could even dab it over top cakey-looking makeup and it would make it look better). However, these sponges made enough of a difference that I decided to buy the real thing (BB). I can now put on makeup even without moisturizer underneath (I do spritz with some rosewater and glycerine first--Heritage Products) and this little sponge makes the makeup look like great skin. It is truly a game-changer for me. From seeing how these sponges work, I now think that all the makeup that I had returned to the store due to looking bad on me would have now worked with this sponge, because all makeup seems to look good now.
I will say though, that with some thinner makeups, the BB leaves more of a textured imprint because it has more of a porous texture than my dupe sponges which have a tighter porous structure. (Revive and Silk Naturals). The other thing is: when purchasing in a store, try to look at the flat end that puts the makeup on. My first BB had a dimple on it which made an imprint on the makeup, so I exchanged it for another. Those would be my only negatives. So I just use the dupe in this case.
BTW, the Silk Naturals black sponge is the closest one I found to the BB in softness, and it does a great job too. I alternate, and that will keep the BB in good shape beyond its 3-month life expectancy, which is fairly short considering the price of this thing.
There definitely is a difference with these sponges in looks and feel: they are not the same.
- The BB is very soft and squishy (easily collapsible when squeezed). The porous texture is a little more pronounced than the dupes--it kind of looks like mousse (the dessert). This sponge bounces on your face better than the others because it is so very soft. It does not "push" or stretch your skin but conforms to it.
- The Revive is more dense and firm, so does not squeeze as easily (not very squishy), and the texture is tighter (more than those triangle white sponges though--it's sort of a unique texture, really). It was the first sponge I bought. I noticed my makeup looked better with it than by using my fingers, which is what made me pursue this method. Its texture is good with thinner watery-type makeups because its surface is smoother than the BB, so with a thin makeup, it did not leave a texture thumbprint (at least in my experience). However with thicker makeup, it looked a little more pronounced. It seemed to do better with certain makeups (e.g. Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse looked good; Maybelline BB cream and Clinique Even Better did not).
- The SIlk Naturals one is not quite as spongy as the BB but much more so than the Revive. Its texture/porousness and firmness is in between the BB and the Revive. I would say it is the middle ground between the BB and the Revive. It does an excellent job with all the makeups I've tried, including the thinner watery ones. They look smooth and like skin.
- Bella is similar to Revive and looks much like the same texture except maybe slightly softer.
- CVS Essence of Beauty - much stiffer when compared to the others, and unlike any of these other ones - like a cheap latex-y sponge. It was awful, and so were the makeup results. I don't recommend that one.
All of them puff up to become quite large when immersing in water then squeezing out the excess (the way they are supposed to be used). The CVS one still stayed too firm, in comparison to the others. The Bella and Revive need to be soaked well or else they look a little bit like they have cellulite (when you squeeze them they dimple unevenly); but when they are fully soaked, they are fine.
If I had to choose a dupe, it would be the Silk Naturals first, because it is the closest I've found to the BB (even though it isn't shaped the same); then the Revive or Bella (bought at Marshalls or TJ Maxx). The CVS one was the only one I returned to the store.

This tool is worth the hype. Provides even, dewy coverage. If you want heavier coverage I might try using this with a primer to help hide pores, etc. My face doesn't look nearly as good compared to the beautyblender when I use my hands to apply foundation. A must-have for your makeup kit!

I've heard so many great reviews about this little sponge and I wanted to try it myself. So I went ahead and bought one at Sephora yesterday for $20. I tested it out with liquid foundation and it applies beautifully. Just dot the foundation all over your face with fingers first. All I did was bounce it all over my face with the beauty blender. The coverage was amazing and I love how soft it feels. It also felt less messier than applying with a brush. The only thing is the price of course. And I've yet to find an easy way to clean it and get all the foundation off. Overall, I love this sponge so much because it makes everything so much easier.

Solar Radiation: How Engineers Can Stay Cool on the Beach (Maybe)
Fanny Littmarck | August 29, 2012
The end of August marks the end of summer here in New England. Already nostalgic and unwilling to let the season go, I decided to look into some "beach physics". In May we released a new solar radiation feature in our Heat Transfer Module that will be helpful in many solar applications — including how to avoid overheating on the beach, apparently. Here's how engineers can stay cool on the beach.
Some of you may have been stuck at work all summer, but if you've had the time to go to the beach you'll have experienced the unforgiving strength of the sun's rays and what it does to your body (dehydration, sunburn, etc.) — not to mention how it warms the contents of your cooler. Warm drinks aren't very refreshing in the summer heat. Now, let's bring your cool logic from your workstation and apply it to a sunny beach scenario. If you bring a beach umbrella and a cooler to the beach, how hot will each of these items get? In our Heat Transfer webinar earlier this month, John Dunec said: "This [beach scenario] is a fun problem, but the same question goes for the solar industry; how do you do that?" There must be a way to model your way out of this solar conundrum.
There is a way to model this in COMSOL Multiphysics. That's one thing I learned from that Heat Transfer webinar. Thanks to the new solar radiation feature in the Heat Transfer Module, you can figure out the answer to this problem pretty easily. First you define the external radiation source; next you set the latitude and longitude of your location, along with the date, time of day, and time zone. This provides you with a 1D plot of how the beach umbrella and cooler heat over time for a given solar irradiance:
If you then plot this in 3D you'll get the shading throughout the day:
