Samsung UE40F6500 Premium Review

Well, to begin with, this TV is beyond praise:)
We bought this TV more than 2 years ago.

How it Looks and What it Costs
I have got used to black TV-sets. But this time, we decided to experiment and chose the white one (you can choose between black and white). To tell the truth, it looks very unusually in our interior.
The TV cost £1,100. At first, I felt a little sorry to spend such sum of money, but then I was very pleased with all its advantages. And I understood for what I had paid.
Nice Characteristics
It is adjusted very easily, everything is simple and clear. Theq uality of the image is very good, the colors are natural.
It has Internet connection. To access the Internet, it is necessary to enter the password from Wi-Fi only once , then it remembers it (unlike some brands where you should enter the password every what is rather inconvenient).
Having connected Wi-Fi (with the average speed ), we found out that it is possible to watch film on the Internet! As for me, it was very unusual but pleasant. You can also choose songs and sing in a karaoke! Moreover, it is possible to communicate via Skype using the TV! it is also possible to use social networks. Well, why am I telling it? You can do almost everything you do with you Internet on PC. Now, we don't download movies from the computer anymore since the videos are quickly downloaded and can be watched online.
Another advantage is that this TV has a function of protecting itself from the unreliable sites. The software is updated and evensends us notifications about the changes.
By the way, the remote controller of this TV is unusual, it has a small touch screen)
A Small Present
In the set there were 2 3D glasses. In fact, I was skeptical regarding 3D on a TV set. But when I tried 3D glasses (which work on batteries), my feelings were amazing. I We can watch cool movies with cool graphics as if we are in the cinema)
Well, now I do not regret about the purchase) I recommend it!

Braun Satin HAIR 7 Colour ES 3-C/ 7 ST 750

My first Impression
Braun ES3 is my first styler. I have bought it not so long ago, about 4 months ago. Earlier, I did not think about straightening (or curling) hair. I was afraid to hurt my hair that suffers without it. They are thin, fragile from nature. But when I visited my friend and got acquainted with the styler, I thought, why not? I was not goig to use it very often, just on special occasions. Then I bought Braun in a technic shop for about 50$. My impressions were good.

Advantages
Ceramic coverage makes hair 'slide' during straightening, what is very comfortable. There is a small display where I can choose the temperature that fits my hair. Usually I use maximum level for thin hair. It is difficult to say if the styler hurts my hair because I use it very rarely. But I think, not much.
Disadvantages
The styler has the function of ionization. I don't know how it helps my hair, but it does not bother me a lot. I mean that the styler works not very quitly. Ionization makes some sound. I do not mind it, but I would certainly prefer if it worked without noise.
Noise, perhaps, is the only negative side of the styler for me. In general, I am satisfies with the product.

ASUS RT-N10P Wireless Router

To tell the truth, I am just sorry that we did not buy it earlier. We have spent so much money on mobile Internet...whichn is slow and takes a lot of nerves. And it all happened when at home we had a fast wire Internet.

Important for me Features
So, 4 months ago we bought a Wi-Fi router. After having studied a wide range of routers in technical and computer shops, we understood that it would not be that easy. But finally, we decided to stop on ASUS. There are a lot of routers of this brand. Everything depends on the demands of the client and their purse. The biggest advantage of ASUS routers is that they work with almost all Internet providers!
So, it order not to pay extra money for unnecessary options, we considered the following:
-we were living in a small flat
-there will be usually two people using it
-we have several gadgets to connect to it: PC, laptop, smartphones, i-pad
-the speed of the Internet is 30mb/sec
Thus, we have chosen RT-N10P. It is rather compact (3cmx11cmx16,5cm). It looks pretty nice. Then it cost about 10 pounds. For all time of usage, there have been no problems. The signal has been okey. The speed does not lower when several gadgets are connected but only if they all do not download films etc.

Installation
It took no more then 15 minutes to install it for the 1st time. The second installation took 3 minutes. Every used will cope with it. The instruction is very clear:) Moreover, the complect has all necessary details for usage. The guarantee we have it 3 years. Furthermore, you can connect up to 4 wireless gadgets at the same time. That is exactly what we were looking for!
I wish everyone good purchases:)

Samsung Galaxy Tab A Wi-Fi + Cellular 16GB

Hello, everyone!
I won't tell any unnecessary thing.
So, what were the purposes to buy the tablet?
After one gadget has broken, I had to change it into a new one. There was a question, however, what to buy??? A laptop or a tablet? Since I am not busy with any office things, the diploma is already in my pocket, I decided to buy a tab. So, the tab was supposed to be used for simple purposes: watching films, photos, chating in social networks, reading books, articles, news etc. Since the tab is for house usage, the size of the display was important for me, I decided to buy a pretty big one. If I was going to carry it in my bag, I would prefer a smaller one. I would choose the same model, but of a smaller size. Certainly, I was looking for a tab having a slot for microSD. In fact, I am a fan of Apple, but I've heard it does not have it. If it had, I would certainly choose Apple:) But in my case, the tab without a flash driver is not an optimal varient. Sometimes, it is very necessary to upload something to the tab, a film from computer..etc. I want to say that I do not play games a lot. Even if I do, I download something simple, play a little and delete it soon. So, I did not consider this option when buying the tab. The quality of camera also did not play an important role. For me, it is more important on my phone. Another essential point was the battery. Though I was going to use it only at home, I did not want to chrge it every hour. So, based on these functions, I decided to buy Samsung. With the help of consultants I have chosen Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T555. It cost around 160pounds.
Now I have been using it for 2 month and want to say that it has not brought me any problems yet.
Inside the box
-a tab in a pack
-a charger
-instruction
-guarantee certificate
General features
I have bought a tab that supports a sim card in case I travel somewhere and want to receive or make a call. The tab is light, thin, made of plastic. The memory can be easily expanded with a flash card, but I still use the installed size (16 GB). The tab is made in Vietnam.
Camera
The quality of camera is average. I cannot say that I am amazed, especially when taking photos inside the building when electricity is turned on, But I am not sorry because it is worth the money) But 5 Megapixel is 5 Megapixel)) And not more. The better camera would cost me much more.
As for its front camera, the manufacturer has made a small bonus for girls. When you are making selfie, the quality of retouching will please you. The device 'corrects' the photo very well) So, those who have visible skin problems will like this point. But for me, this feature is somewhat unusual. I have npt got used to it. But it really helps when you are making a selfie in a bad light.
While using the camera, I faced some problems with autofocusing. The camera needs a long time to focus. This is an advantage, of course. But the camera is not a top priority for me.
The tab case
The case of the tab is made of plastic. I would not buy it for carrying somewhere. But it perfectly fits the usage in the house.
I think, metal case is not only stronger, but also looks more reputable and prestigious. So, I prefer the things made of metal. But one should understand that such things demand more money)) Plastic is typical for cheaper things. But I am a careful person and won't throw or seatt on it. Besides, I have already purchased the cover case. I strongly recommend to do it, especially if you are going to take the tab outdoors.
Display
It is rather bright. I am satisfied. It has no glares or flashings. However, I am dissatisfied how easily soiled it is. All fingerprints are visible. However, I suppose, you can avoid it by applying a safe cover pellicle on it. Nevertheless, I have not done it yet.
Sound and durability
It has good loud sound. Sometimes it is heated when I use it for a long time. I charge it every day. But I surf the Internet a lot. Moreover, geolocation and different alerts 'eat' the battery as well.
So, let's summarise:
Advantages
-nice design
-thin, convenient
-you can choose the color of the tab
-it is fast
-big, bright screen
-nice quality of sound
-the camera is not bad
-front camera is only 2Megapixel, but it automatically corrects the images
-you should not charge it 2-3 times a day, thus nice durability
-not high price
Disadvantages
-visible fingertips on the screen
-long time of camera focusing
-it is very inconvenient to make screenshots. but it is typical for all Samsungs.
-made of plastic
I suppose, this tab is worth its money. In this case, the proce corresponds to the quality. But I would not give more for it.
Hopefully, me review will be helpful for you:)

Apple iPad Mini 4 128GB Wi-Fi + Cellular

Hi, everybody! Today I will share with you the opinion and experience of my use of new Apple Ipad Mini 4.

Technical Characteristics and New Opportunities

To befin with, I would like to tell about technical characteristics and new opportunities which were not present in the previous versions of the device. First, the screen diagonal is 7,9 inches; the camera has 8 megapixels; the frontal camera - 1,2 megapixels. By the way, in order to see technical characteristics of this device in more detail and to compare them to the characteristics of the devices of last generations, you can visit Apple official site http://www.apple.com/uk/ipad/compare/ (the page with comparison).
As for me, new functions were a decisive factor when I was choosing this version of the tablet.
So, the first new function is multitasking, that is an opportunity to open two applications at the same time. For example, you can watch video and look for something in the Internet simultaneously.
The second function is opportunity to reduce video into a small window and move it on the screen. Thus, you can watch the movie and do something else with iPad: to answer your messages, print the document, to look for something in the Internet etc. To tell the truth, I am not sure how this function is called correctly) However, I suppose my description of it is rather clear:)
As for me, I can use iPad without charging the battery for 3 days. Perhaps, it is because there are a lop of other gadgets at home, and I do not utilize it too often. Surely, I prefer PC, but when it comes to going to the kitchen and cooking some new cake, I use this one)
By the way, I was carefully choosing it reading a lot of responses and so on. What I knew about it beforehand was that it supports the SIM card that was also an advantage.
And for those who are interested in the price:
I've bought it for 560 pounds in the store. If you want to buy it online, you may find a cheaper varient. 
Moreover, it has128 GB of installed memory that I find pretty enough.
In my opinion, the appearance of this gadget fit perfectly girls. It is white (though you might choose the color) and I cannot even imagine a boy with such a thing. Please, do not be offended, this is my personal opinion since I am a girl.
Disadvantages
Surely, there are people who buy iPad as their major gadget. I would not recommend Apple for them because you cannot insert a MicroSD card in it. And when you go out of memory, you will just need to buy a new one:) Or delete everything. 
Moreover, it uses iOS 9 as its OS. So, you have to register on their site to download games, for example. Somebody might be irritated by it. But I've bought it not to play games, though I sometimes do it)
I hope, my response was useful to you. See you!

Maybelline Affinitone Foundation

Value for money
I have been using this foundation for quite a long time. For me, I have picked the color 9 (Opal rose). It fits my skin color best. Maybelline Affinitone is not the cheapest foundation, but not the most expensive. I would say, it is the golden middle. Once, I bought a foundation for 1 dollar, just to compare it with Maybelline Affinitone. To tell the truth, 1$cream had nice smell, but I could use it only for an hour. Then, it just exfoliated and rolled down from my face. Since that time, I have not done any experiments with the foundation, only with the color.


Durability
I like when my skin is perfect. So, I applied the foundation on the whole face. Moreover, I did not wash it till the late evening. Then, my friend once asked my, 'Do you use a foundation?? You skin is peeling off!'. Then I thought that I might be doing something wrong. To put it in a nutshell, I advise you to apply the foundation in a very thin layer. You should not overdo it. Then, your skin will look nice. Moreover, I like it because it does not dry my skin. Thus, it can be used in winter as well as in summer. Furthermore, after I apply water to my face, swim in the sea or river, the foundation is till on my face! Of course, it is not perfect, but still, it does not wash out completely. In order to wash it, you should apply some special lotion or cleaner. Why I like Maybelline Affinitone is also the presence of vitamin E in it. So, it does not block pores on my face, but feeds it with a vitamin.
Attention
The texture of the cream is liquid. So, there is a chance to pour the cream on the clothes if you open the lid not carefully. I had such situation once. The cream pours out form the tube, sensu stricto.

Givenchy Dahlia Divin Eau de Toilette

Very nice and sexy perfume


Recently, I have received a sample bottle of Dahlia Divin from my friend. She bought the ful bottle and got the sample as a present. It smelled so nice that I kept it without use for a long time. However, now it is empty:) In my opinion, the smell is delicious. My boyfriend liked it a lot! However, it is a bit expensive. Nevertheless, I am expecting to get it as a present and would suggest everyone to buy it. The smell is not strong. It is very sweet. But it is not too sweet. So, one can use it even at work, in the office, but in club in will be also okey.
Moreover, I think, it would fit all ages, from 16 to 100:) So, it would be a nice gift to a mother/daughter/girlfriend. The purfume's smell is based on a Sambac jasmine and a woody-chypre base. For me, it reminds the smell of fresh flowers, but not field flowers, something other. More delicious and sophisticated.

My Dearest Phone Fly e171 and Laptop HP620

Fly E171 Wi-Fi




So, this was the latest phone of mine. It worked for quite a long time. But it had a small memory. Photos were also worse than those taken with Olympus camera. Next, it crashed in an awkward way. It constantly showed that I have 2 unread messages, then 3. Then, people could not hear me when they called me. But sometimes they called, and everything was okey. However, I have used it for 3 years. Nowadays, it is a good period for a cell phone. But I think, a mobile phone should be with me longer. So, if you do not have a lot of money, you can buy this phone, but only for receiving and making phone calls, and sending messages. If you want more (games, camera), you'd better look for something better.





HP 620
First of all, I am writing this review using HP 620:) This laptop has been travelling with me for more than 4 years. Though it has been a little wounded, it still serves me a good deal. So, as you might have understood, my HP620 has suffered some situations, but it is still alive, and I am going to tell you how it functions after all.
1. Once it fall from the bed on the floor. It was 1 year old then. I was so scared, but it was young and overcame this disaster successfully. Though now it lacks a small piece of corner on the lid, I do not notice it, and it does not influence any of its functions.
2. Another time, I poured a cup of tee with sugar on it! It was 2 years old then and I was sure that I should say good bye to my lovely laptop and was going to bury it with the tears in my eyes. But I had a nice friend who suggested me to clean it quickly with a towel and put it over so that the keybord is lying on the table. What do you think? In a couple of hours all keys on the keyboard wokred! I even did not have to repair anything.
3.Recently, I lost my temper and hit my HP620 on the keyboard. I thought, I crashed. But only two keys flew out. They function, but their plastic cover is out.
What I like most of all
In my opinion, it is very good that HP620 has mat display, namely it has High Gloss. So, it does not matter for me from which side the sun shines. Everything is clear and visible. Moreover, I like that it is so durable. After all disasters that happened to it, my laptop is a hero for me. It has nice quality of picture 15,6inches (1366 x 768). It has 250 Gb of hard disk memory.
What I like less
It has not the best camera, only 2 Mp. Moreover, it will be inconvenient for the users who have got used to the square number keyboard in the right corner. HP620 doesn't have it. It has only a line of numbers over the letters. Moreover, after 4 years of use, its battery has become weak and constantly sends me the signal that it should be changed.

Stradivarius (Shop) Gold Review


Interior
I always thought that this shop is very expensive since it looks so, as for me. However, once I entered it and found its interior very pleasant. Now, I always come to this shop when I am in any shoppping center. I may not buy anything, but always see something for myself! I like the interior because it is not very bright, not colourful. Nothing distracts your attention when you are inside. Moreover, there is always music inside it. It is quite, modern, and also does not distract you from clothes.

Clothes
What I like about this shop most is that you can find there all types of clothes: casual, evening dresses, warm winter clothes, formal suits, underwear, boots, shoes, socks. Moreover, you can immediately choose some jewellery there. Most of jewelry is made of beads. But it does not look simple, it looks rather expensive and pleasant. I have earrings made of beads. They were not very expensive, about 4$, but they are perfect for going to club, performing on the stage. Since I dance, I had to buy a dress very quickly. I could not find anything for such a short time (1 week). I did not have money to buy an expensive evening dress, so I bought a red chiffon dress in Stradivarius. There was a sale there. So, it was a perfect dress for that money and short time. Moreover, it is not bulky, so I can wear it not only on the stage, but also in the summer, to celebrations, to the night club etc. One small disadvantage of the clothes from Stradivarius is that they all have long labels with the word "Stradivarius", and they are sewn to the clothes vertically, not horizontally as usual. Thus, they can be seen. It is better to cut them off or hide and check from time to time.
Sales
I recommend to wait for sales in Stradivarius if you do not have money for a piece of clothes from a new collection. All clothes there are sorted: a new collection, sale. There are a lot of clothes made of cotton and other natural materials, so I think, they are worth buying and waiting for a sale to buy if there is no money for the moment.

Thank you for reading my review!

Razer Deathstalker Chroma Premium Review

Now I would like to review Razer Deathstalker Chroma since it is much better than another product of Razer, Razer DeathStalker Essential. I am aware of the features of both keyboards since my friend owns the Razer Essential. When I saw it, I thought it is the same as mine, but when he turned on his PC, I noticed that it had no lighting. It turned out that the model was Razer DeathStalker Essential, an older one.
But I am going to concentrate on Razer Deathstalker Chroma, the best keyboard of Razer, as for me.
Price
I have bought it for £80, which is not very cheap, in my opinion. 
Standart features
Slim chiclet keys
Backlighting
Inter-device sync
Full anti-ghosting
Fully programmable keys
Razer Synapse enabled
Gaming mode option
On the fly macro recording
Fixed wrist rest
Macro
To tell the truth, I have not completely understood how it functions. I have never used it and I am not going to do it. But, as the manufacturer says, you can easily download a special programme called Razer Synapse 2.0 and set macro on your computer. I have downloaded it, but have not understood how it wors. So, I just deleted it and now I do not regret. Those who need it will understand and cope with its installation.
Game Mode
I think, game mode is a big advantage of the keyboard. The number of simultaneous presses is up to 10. Besides, you can easily enable the game mode by pressing Fn+F10. Then, the green light turns on that means that the game mode is on.
Lighting
It is so nice. The lighting is multi-colored. Moreover, there are three zones of backlighting. As for me, it is very comfortable when you use the keyboard at night, when you can see nothing when the light is turned off. Now I can easily find the necessary button on the keyboard. It saves me a lot of time. Moreover, there are several regimes how the light can change (e.g. wavy, static etc.). So, you can experiment and have a real 'party' on the table.
Rubber 'legs'
They are located on the back cover of the keyboard. Due to them, the keyboard does not slip or slide on the table. Furthermore, you can lift the legs a bit so that the keyboard is atilt.
The Appearance
It looks really great. I liked its look. As for me, it is better than most other Razer keyboards in the store. I almost fell in love with it. It is black, with classic buttons. But I suppose, its lighting attracted me most of all. I could not wait till I come home and try it in action.
Fixed Wrist Rest
It is made of nonskid coating with the glossy coverage. So, there are no visible greasy spots on it, and my fingers do not sweat.
The Only Diadvantage
Unfortunately, the manufacturer did not think about inserting USB ports in the keyboadr. However, this point doesn't matter for me considering all the advantages described above.
Thank you for your attention:)
