(Comfort Zone) absolute pearl
Light concentrate
Product description: A glowing, oxygenating hydrator that can be worn alone or as a base for make up. Can be used with or without moisturiser. Contains pearl powder, oxygenating factors, optical diffusers, olive oil and mulberry extract.
Testers Verdict: This light cream went on easily and blended well into the skin. It has a slight shimmer which helps to give the skin a radiant appearance. It can be worn alone or under make up and it provided a good base for foundation to be applied over. I found that it gave better results used over a moisturiser.
The cream has a pleasant smell. The pump bottle meant that you don’t use more than you need, as a little goes a long way. The simple packaging is attractive. A high quality product.

Seamstress Saves the Day
As a blushing Bride made her way to her wedding ceremony, she accidently ripped her dress and a seamstress who happened to be passing by fixed it for her enabling the Bride to carry on with her wedding but now the Bride is anxious to thank her personally!
Forty year old Loretta Atkinson from Biggar in Scotland was travelling to the Peebles Registry Office to marry her partner Steven Ward but as she got out of the car she tripped and the back of her dress was ripped. It was not noticed however until a passer by mentioned it and luckily, this person was a qualified seamstress. Even more amazingly lucky, this person, who was called Alex, had some sewing equipment within her bag and sewed up the dress then and there.
Steven and Loretta have been together for seven years and as Loretta’s tear was being fixed, Steven was waiting patiently in the Registry Office for his Bride-to-be getting more concerned with each passing minute until the registrar informed Steven of the situation going on outside.
Loretta thanked Alex for her help and she was given a pin to ‘borrow’ and she continued on with her special day while Alex is believed to have travelled to London. Loretta now wants to show her appreciation and placed a picture of Alex fixing her dress in a local paper on the off chance that someone will recognise her and pass along her contact details.
Bride and Groom Met at Their Own Christenings
Don’t you just love the stories that you hear about old married couples who have been together for what seems like forever. Perhaps they met when they were teenagers and fell in love and haven’t been parted since, or maybe they met many moons ago as young children and didn’t find each other again till decades later!
These types of stories truly tug at your heart strings and for one couple in Wolverhampton, they have a wonderful story to pass onto their future generations after they realised that they had met once before when they were babies, at their own christenings.
Twenty eight years ago in St Bartholomew’s Church located in Wolverhampton, Katie Price and Adam Woodall were being christened; little did the pair know that they would be married at the same church years later.
It wasn’t until eighteen years later that the couple re-met and their past began to link up and Katie’s parents confirmed that she and Adam shared the same font. The couple’s previous connections were mentioned a number of times during the speeches!
Family Members Shot by Accident at Wedding
A Turkish wedding tradition went horribly wrong last month when during the gunshot firing, some of the Groom’s family members were accidently shot and killed!
To make this tragedy doubly horrific, the deaths were caused by the Groom himself as it is the tradition that the Groom is to fire a series of five shots in the air in celebration of his wedding.
During the wedding in Akcogaze in Southern Turkey, it is believed that the Groom, Tevfik Altin was using an AK-47 when he lost control and shot around ten people, three of whom died later after being taken to hospital. Following the shootings, the distraught Groom was arrested straight away and wedding guests reported that because it all happened so fast there was nothing that could be done.
The family members who were killed were the Groom’s father and two of his aunties and some of the injured guests included a couple of teenagers and a ten year old child.
This accepted tradition is also used during some sporting ceremonies and despite the deaths and injuries that have been caused over the years, its practice is not likely to be banned although they are enforcing more severe punishments when things go wrong.
Groom Celebrates Anniversary in Same Suit
Most people will strive to stay fit and healthy as they grow older and some Brides would love to be able to fit into their wedding dress again but alas for some of us, it just never happens but for one Groom from Cheshire he managed to stay in such good shape that years after his wedding he could still fit into the suit that he wore at his own wedding!
Sixty three year old Peter Coppock married his wife Enid in September 1970 and this month they are celebrating their Ruby wedding anniversary. The couple from Northwich in Cheshire, after forty years of marriage claim that the reason behind Peter’s trim figure staying the way it has all these years is because they never purchased a car and preferred to walk everywhere.
Peter bought his suit from Bratts, a local store where he worked as a salesman at the time for a cost of just three pounds and it fitted his thirty two inch waist perfectly, and still does!
Miss England Weds in Secret
A wedding in secret, perhaps an elopement is usually exciting for the Bride and Groom and tends to be a bit of a shock to their friends and family depending on the circumstances. Katrina Hodge, or Miss England as many know her, got married in secret in June this year to her boyfriend Neil Simpson!
Twenty three year old Katrina from Tunbridge Wells kept her upcoming wedding a secret while taking part in the Miss England competition and six months after winning her title the wedding took place. She was very pleased to hear that she will not have to forfeit her title just because she is now hitched.
The beauty queen is herself a serving soldier and earned herself the name ‘Combat Barbie’ but she can now be referred to as ‘Mrs’ England given that she is now a married woman. Katrina is a Lance Corporal in the Royal Anglican Regiment and is based in Hampshire at the barracks in Winchester.
After being married in Brighton at Brighton’s Register Office the couple flew out to Sri Lanka to enjoy their honeymoon.
Coles Get Divorced
In February this year we informed you about X Factor Judge Cheryl Cole and her husband, footballer Ashley Cole and how they had separated after it became apparent that Ashley was not being faithful to Cheryl during their four year marriage. After around six months of their separation, Cheryl and Ashley have finally been granted their divorce!
The couple first met in 2004 at which time they were neighbours in a London apartment block and after a year of ‘courting’ they got engaged in Dubai and their wedding followed a year later.
Twenty six year old Cheryl first heard of her husband’s infidelities in 2008 when accusations were made in the press but it took them a further two years before the pair separated and began divorce proceedings.
District Judge Christopher Simmonds granted the couple their decree nisi on Friday 3rd September on the grounds of unreasonable behaviour on Ashley’s part. The couple can now continue to live their separate lives and put their relationship behind them.
Bride and Groom to Kiss on Sixty Piers Before Wedding
Some couples like to achieve targets that they set themselves before they say ‘I do’ and one couple from Somerset who are due to be married in October this year have been travelling around England in order to visit sixty piers!
Jay Preller and Hazel Costin from Weston-super-Mare have organised for their wedding to take place on the Pier in Brighton. They began their quest two years ago and before their wedding takes place, they wanted to share a kiss on some of the seaside piers around the country and so far have been doing really and only have a couple more piers left to go.
The pair met during a visit to the Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare which at present is being rebuilt at a cost of fifty one million pounds following a fire in 2008 and the Grand Pier is on their list to visit along with their final destination in Sussex, the Brighton Pier.
Royal Armouries Opens for Weddings
The Royal Armoury Museum located in Leeds has opened its doors for weddings and the first couple to enjoy its stunning and historic surroundings was a couple from Lytham St Annes who were accompanied by two knights dressed in full armour!
Laura Vincent, a care assistant, was walked into the Armoury on a red carpet after leaving her vintage open topped car. Twenty nine year old Laura and her partner, Adam Ali-Qazalbash were married in the Royal Armouries Hall in front of around one hundred friends and family members.
Following their vows, while the newlyweds had their photographs taken, the guests were able to enjoy the décor in the tournament gallery as they were served canapés with champagne with the knights in armour standing close by. The reception was held in the Wellington Suite where the tables were beautifully decorated with ice carvings.
The Museum is licensed for civil services and offers a variety of packages and can cater for a large amount of guests and boasts an extremely professional approach to planning weddings!
