Advantages: No clumping, lovely lashes Disadvantages: I can't find any online
Considering my tube of Margaret Astor mascara was free with a magazine, it is one of the best items of make up I have ever used.
I might not still have the magazine, let alone remember which one it was, but 7 months later I am still faithfully using my Margaret Astor Magic Style mascara. I have very sensitive eyes - anything remotely perfumed is out, and Maybelline Great Lash is a big no-no. Margaret Astor however is just right.
Packaging
In a nice, sleek silver tube, this is a simple yet attractive tube of mascara. It doesn't look cheap but nor is it snobbish. The top/wand has a clear plastic rounded end with a cute little flower on it. This logo adorns all of the Margaret Astor range. At approximately 4 inches long, the tube fits in any small makeup bag or you can pop it in your handbag to use after work or on a night out ...
Advantages: You don't have to live there Disadvantages: You will always have the memories
My girlfriend and I stayed at the Worst Western Astor Metropole Hotel and Apartments for one "god forsaken" night.
Never again...
Some of the "fun" that we encountered:
1) Staff that couldn't speak conversational English.
2) Slow lifts (that we believe were operated by arthritic monkeys pulling on ropes and pulleys).
3) No assistance in locating our room (the building is like an evil M.C. Escher painting).
4) No free champagne / chocolates (as advertised with our booking) and when my girlfriend asked about them, she was ushered back and forth between two reception areas, and was finally abruptly told "will you just take a seat and wait?".
5) The rooms were appalling, with: chipped paint; exposed chipboard in the bathroom; leftover "hair" from a previous guest in the bathroom; a wall-mounted hair dryer that appeared ...
Advantages: Location, helpful staff Disadvantages: Really just a bed and breakfast
I recently stayed 3 nights in the AstorHotel, Zurich whilst attending a conference in the city. While the staff were very helpful and the accomodation adequate, it didn't overly impress me.
The hotel is conveniently located, just 5 minutes' walk from the city centre and has a tram line and stop just outside the front entrance. This can be very handy, but the noise can also make it difficult to get an early night. The single room I stayed in was well-sized and had a queen-sized bed, 50-channel TV (including many foreign channels such as BBC Prime), mini-bar and en-suite bathroom. It was always warm (sometimes too warm), but the one thing it lacked was any tea/coffee-making facilities.
As mentioned, the hotel staff are very friendly and willing to help out. They also speak good English, which saved me from embarrassing myself ...
