Antler Carnaby Street Medium Roller Case

Carnaby Street

Advantages: Different shops, unique, less crowded than Oxford St, near oxford circus tube, easy to get to
Disadvantages: None

This review is way out of date, Carnaby Street has changed a lot over the past few yrs. Ignore it. Introduction ~~ Carnaby Street, well it was once the place to go in the 60's and 70's but now it's a bit less well-known. Which I think is rather good as it is less-crowded than Oxford St, Covent Garden, Regent St, etc. Location ~~ Carnaby Street could not be in a better location. It is just 3 or 4 minutes from Oxford Circus. tube station and is also within easy reach of Marlborough St and is no more than a 15 minutes walk from anywhere in Soho. Shops ~~ The shops in Carnaby St. vary quite a lot from trendy fashion shops to the old cheap and tacky tourist shops. My favourite particular shop on Carnaby St. is the Mambo shop. If you haven't heard of Mambo they are a Australian surf/skate brand. Well I did mention cheap ...

Review of Carnaby Street (London)

i do not rate carnaby street

Advantages: Famous Landmark
Disadvantages: Over rated, over priced, over crowded

I am going to upset some people by writing this, but i do not like visiting Carnaby Street at all! To me, Carnaby Street is awful. 75% of the shops are full of the same stuff; Tee Shirts and Posters of film and music stars, cheap sunglasses and shoes and hats, all of which is abundant in nealy every other shop along Oxford Street, Camden Market and most other 'tourist oriented' shopping areas. I have also been told by the 'older' generation, that Carnaby Street used to be an amazing place during the 60's and 70's, full of individualism and fun. They, like me, do not see that now. To give credit where it's due, there is an amazing but pricey Computer Console Games shop which specialises in Import Games stuff, but to be honest, for great clothes and records etc, cut through one of the side roads off Carnaby Street (it runs ...

Review of Carnaby Street, London

A great set of rollers!

Advantages: shiny, full of volume curls!
Disadvantages: Still time consuming!

I used these a few weeks ago at my friend's house and I was really impressed! When I go out to a wedding or a big occasion I like to spend some time getting ready and making my hair look nice. I have tried using curling tongs and GHDs to curl my hair but i'm always getting it uneven or burning myself or I get half way throguh and decide i'm fed up!! I went to my friend's house and used her roller set and I was really impressed with them! They heated up very quickly and were really easy to use. The box contains 20 rollers which are ceramic. They are in 3 different sizes which is dfferent to what I've used before as they only had two sizes. There are large, medium and small so you can get the right type of curl for the right part of your hair! They secure into place with the grips really easily which again is a bonus, it can be ...
