Aliens and Angels by Sue Hampton

Aliens and Angels by Sue Hampton
I have had the privilege to read Aliens and Angels by Sue Hampton before many other young readers who I am sure are anxious to read. I do not want to give away much of the stories because I don't want to disappoint anyone in any way whatsoever. What I can say is as I started reading the book I straight away started to get into the first story, then the second story called Not without a carrot. This story is based on a donkey called Trouble who doesn't do ANYTHING without a carrot.and oh my...the third story!!!! The third story is called Bootee for Etta. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STORY! It creates mixed emotions throughout the story. This story was based on a little girl called Etta who was left without her parents on Christmas. You will have to read the story to understand why it was such an amazing story. This book is a great book for young readers or even as a gift for young keen readers on Christmas. It is coming out on the Thursday 26th September 2013. If you are looking for a special something for a child on Christmas, I suggest you go and buy this book in store. The colours and images of the book as seen in the image above are quite colourful and eye catching. It is for sale for £5.99. Visit Suehamptonauthor to find out more about this book.  Great buy and I definitely recommend this book to anyone who has young children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews, cousins even brothers or sisters! I could easily read this book again.

Pantene Expert Collection AgeDefy

Pantene Expert Collection AgeDefy
I received Pantene Expert Collection AgeDefy for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
After trying this product with wet hair, when i applied it to my hair, i found out that it dried nicely and it didn't look so bad and greasy. It is easy to use, just simply spray 15 pumps to root of hair and massage in. It can be used on dry hair but i prefer to apply it to wet hair after i have had a shower.It can be used on colour treated hair too which in my opinion is a great advantage because i dye my hair often. The nozzle is easy to operate and comes with a seal cap that stops you from squirting. (Remove cap before applying.)

Disadvantages:
I found a few disadvantages with Pantene Expert Collection AgeDefy. First of all, if you wish to apply the application with dry hair, it makes your hair go all dull,greasy and horrible and you have to wash it out. I truly think that this product did not make my hair look any thicker or fuller as they said it should do after the first application. My hair still looks thin and the same as before. It works on others but not me.

Safety/Packaging:
Product should not be left around young children and toddlers just to be on the safe side. The packaging for the product is great and the colour of the box matches the sort of colours that the age range of the product is aimed at. The colours blend well together and the font is also clear and easy to read.

Overall Rating:
I rate this product over all 5/10 as the application doesn't work well for me or my hair but maybe for others. If you still wish to buy this product, click on the link below:

Revlon Photoready Skinlights Face Illuminator

Revlon Photoready Skinlights Face Illuminator
I have recieved Revlon Photoready Skinlights Face Illuminator free from Boots in return for a review.

Advantages:
I received this product yesterday morning and i have been using it ever since to see what sort of results it produces under different lighting. I tried it last night and i have to say the result were shocking. I know this sounds like a cliche but it really made my face glow without putting any cream on because usually i use cream before applying any foundation to make my skin glow but i tried Revlon Photoready Skinlights Face Illuminator for the first time and i did not need any cream to produce the glow. Revlon Photoready Skinlights Face Illuminator comes in a variety of shades according to different skin tones. It works great for when you apply it first thing in the morning and it does not fade throughout the day. I think its a great product for busy working people especially if you wake up late because you don't need any base coat when all you need to do is put it on and go.

Disadvantages:
For those people who are watching the pennies, the only disadvantage i could find was that it is a bit pricey but the product itself can not be faulted.

Safety/Packaging:
Revlon Photoready Skinlights Face Illuminator is quite safe to be left around toddlers and small babies because it is quite stubborn to take the lid off and they wont have the sense or strength to take it off. The tube itself is quite a thick plastic and the colour of the tube depends on what colour you have chosen. The font is clear and easy to read.

Overall Rating:
I rate this product 9/10 due to all its amazing qualities and the ease at which it can be applied. The only reason i didnt give it 10/10 was because of the fact that it is a bit pricey for a small tube. If you wish to buy or take a look at this product please click the link below:

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Shampoo, Conditioner & Miraculous Recovery Intensive Masque

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Shampoo, Conditioner & Miraculous Recovery Intensive Masque
I received these products from John Frieda for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
I received these products earlier on this morning and luckily i received them then because i was just about to have a shower.I first applied the John Frieda Frizz-Ease Smooth Start Lissage Anti-Frizz Hydrating Shampoo to my hair and the smell was amazing. It kind of smelt like one of my old favourite shampoo's i used to buy in the past. My hair can get quite frizzy at times and these products seemed to do the trick quite well. It reduced the frizz in my hair. It is safe to use on colour treated hair which is great for me because i dye my hair quite a lot. The conditioner when applied is really soft and combs through your hair evenly. Frizz-Ease Intensive Masque is great also when applied. I tried this at the end of my hair where i did not apply any conditioner so i could see what both conditioners were like. All products smelt great and similar to other products but i will definitely be buying these products and referring people to John Frieda products in the future because all the products i have received from them so far are great!

Disadvantages:
There was not any disadvantages for either of these products all were amazing and worked well.

Safety/Packaging:
Do not use or leave around children as it can be poisonous. They came in their own box which you can see in a picture on the bottom. It had a bow on it which looked really pretty and it made me feel special.

Overall Rating:
I rate all these products 10/10. I would definitely recommend each of these products as the quality is great! Click the link below to be taken directly to their website:

Vaseline Spray & Go Body Moisturiser

Vaseline Spray & Go Body Moisturiser
I received two cans of Vaseline Spray & Go Body Moisturiser for free from Boots in return for a review. The picture to the left only shows one can because i finished the other one and threw the can away before i realised i forgot to take a picture of it.

Advantages:
Oh my. Where on earth do i start? Well...lets start with the size of the can. The can is of great size and is not heavy. It can be used to take almost anywhere and can fit in a medium sized handbag. You have to twist the cap to open it and instead of getting your fingers messy sticking them into a tub of cream , this moisturiser soaks into your skin quickly and is not greasy at all. I really like this one because you spray it on instead of rubbing it in for hours and waiting for it to dry. With this one all you do is spray on and rub it in a bit so it spreads evenly and off you go. In fact, if you do not put a lot on you don't even have to rub it in, it will soak in itself over time. I really really genuinely love this product as it is super easy to use and hassle free! The spray can feels great too. It does not feel cheap or rubbish it feels and looks like quality.

Disadvantages:
No faults at all.

Safety/Packaging:
This product is safe just remember to twist the cap shut before putting it down as it takes a little bit of strength that a child does not have to open it up. The packaging is fantastic. I was happy with the way it was packed and the can itself feels different to all those other cheap aerosols you get. The quality is amazing and the font is clear and easy to read. The colours used on the can are very natural and work well together.

Overall Rating:
I rate this product 10/10 due to its excellence and i definitely rate this product 10/10. If you wish to buy this product, it is £4.99 in Boots. Click the link below to be taken directly to it:

Advantages:
INCREDIBLE! When i first received this product in the post i could not believe it. I was not expecting it to come that quickly. I tared open the parcel and inside i found L'OREAL PARIS New REVITLIFT Day Cream. "OH MY GOSH!" i screamed as i opened it up. "WOW!" I opened the lid and the first thing i did was smell it. Oh how it smelt marvelous. I honestly couldn't believe it. L'OREAL PARIS is an expensive and well known brand and to receive cream was amazing! It worked wonders on my skin. Really easy to apply. It was not very greasy and soaked into the skin very easily.

Disadvantages:
There are no disadvantages for this product.

Safety/Packaging:
If you order just this from Boots, you will get this product in a padded envelope and it may say boots on the label at the front.

The font is clear and easy to read and the colour contrast is great.

Origins GinZing Energy Boosting Moisturizer, Refreshing Eye Cream & Mascara Illuminator

Origins GinZing Energy Boosting Moisturizer, Refreshing Eye Cream & Mascara Illuminator
I received all these three products for free from Boots in return for a review.

Advantages:
Origins GinZing Energy Boosting Moisturizer was a smooth and non greasy application. Spread evenly on my face and smelt great. Came in a large container so there was quite a lot of moisturizer to be used. It made my face look brighter and glow more than looking boring and old. It is an oil free product and all ingredients are natural. It was also very easy to apply. The Refreshing Eye Cream was applied underneath my eyes and made even that made my face glow. I have had these products for a while now and i have to say they are great to use on a daily basis. The mascara was quite thick and made my eyelashes look longer just like any high quality brand mascara would do. For all the products received were all made from natural ingredients which is great because no ingredients are artificial. All products were easy to clean off.

Disadvantages:
There are no disadvantages for any of these product whatsoever.

Safety/Packaging:
These products should be kept away from children at all times. If you order these products from Boots , they will come in a smallish cardboard box with lots of shredded bits of cardboard to protect the products from getting damaged.

Overall Rating:
Overall, I rate all of the products in the picture above 10/10. Definitely recommend this product to anyone who needs any sort of cream or natural mascara. If you wish to buy any of these items please visit:

Chicco Top Digital Video Baby Monitor

Chicco Top Digital Video Baby Monitor
I received a Top Digital Video Baby Monitor made by Chicco for free from Boots in return for a review.

Advantages:
i have used audio monitors in the past for when my children were little, but after receiving this gadget, i will NEVER be going back! With the audio monitors you can hardly hear your child crying because it is either to quiet or to crackly because of interference.It is a lot more expensive but to be honest it is well worth it.For starters any gadget lover will be fiddling and playing with it for hours. It is really addictive and very easy to work with after figuring out where everything is and how it works. It is touch screen and has a camera which is amazing for day time and night time as it has a night vision button so you can change it when its night time. Chicco Top Digital Video Baby Monitor is mp3 compatible. If you love your gadgets you will surely love this. I promise you. It has a 3 inch touch screen with a digital menu and setting it up is pretty hard but once you work it out its a piece of cake. Literally. On the practical side the sound is super clear no interference whatsoever. If your baby is upstairs and you have just came down from putting him/her to sleep and he/she starts crying as soon as you get to the bottom step, DON'T WORRY. Just go to your baby monitor pick it up and press the 'Push To Talk' button on the side so your baby can hear your voice. You can even take pictures of your baby while he/she is fast asleep. Its really good for capturing your memories. There is also a video recorder so you can record your baby's movements while you are sleeping or even so you can watch them and see how they slept throughout the night.The picture quality is very good. It tells you the temperature of the room, there is a night light and there are 6 standard lullabies. It has a internal contact list so you can store all your important phone numbers manually. This is particularly important for example if you have a baby sitter and your baby is not to well and the baby sitter has no way of contacting you because they don't have your number. Don't worry. Once again the Digital Video Baby Monitor has all the important numbers stored in it so the baby sitter can scroll through and contact you if there was any problems.There are also 5 reminders so instead of trying to remember when your next nappy change or feeding time is, all you have to do is type in manually what time your baby needs to be fed or changed and there you have it. 5 reminders set. No hassle. Chicco Top Digital Video Baby Monitor is also very weightless which makes it feel like cheap quality but TRUST ME it is anything but cheap.

Disadvantages:
In my opinion, there are no disadvantages for this product. I can not fault it in any way possible.

Safety/Packaging:

This product is very safe and user friendly. It can be around anyone and does not have to be moved once in place.  The packaging is great comes in its own box as shown in the picture above. You can open the front flap of the box so you can see what else the Digital Video Baby Monitor is capable of doing by pulling the Velcro off. If you buy the baby monitor from boots, it will come in a massive cardboard box packed with air bags for a snug fit so it doesn't get banged around in the van.

Overall Rating:

Overall, I rate this product 10/10 for having so many advantages and how amazing it works. I definitely recommend this product to anyone who is expecting or has a new born baby!

Boss Jour Pour Femme Eau de Parfum (Hugo Boss)

Boss Jour Pour Femme Eau de Parfum (Hugo Boss)

I received this Hugo Boss Perfume 50ml free from Boots in return to do a review.

Advantages:

Hugo Boss Perfume smelt sweet and the sell lingers throughout the day. I used about 2-3 squirts of this perfume and it lasted the whole day. I was super impressed when i received this as i had totally forgotten i was going to receive it. It was a complete and utter shock to me when it turned up on my door step. I was very pleased. I was very happy with the quality of the perfume and also because it looked a bit like a lipstick tube which i thought was great. It wasn't to big or small and was not heavy at all so you can take it with you where ever you want as it does not take up much space and you can top up on the perfume when ever you wish. The perfume is not to strong and over powering, it is perfect to be used in small an non ventilated room. They say that the Hugo Boss perfume is an 'Elegant floral fruity fragrance inspired by the first light of day. ' I agree with this statement 100% because it really does smell floral & fruity which is weird because you wouldn't expect to wear something that smells like fruit but this is different. I am speechless really. I wore many other perfumes in the past and this is definitely one of the best and i am sure i will be buying another one later on in the future for either myself or a gift for a friend. The lid is very easy to remove and the perfume is easy to spray to. The bottle itself looks very elegant. The quality of the bottle and contents are spectacular and is definitely worth the buy. With the perfume, even if you can not smell it, the people around you can as when i was wearing it about 5 hours later i could not smell it but when someone walked past me they would get a waft  of the floral, fruity smell. The price for a 50ml bottle of Hugo Boss perfume is quite cheap due to the quality and fragrance.

Disadvantages:

In my opinion, there are no disadvantages for this product.

Safety/Packaging:

There are general rules when handling perfume so i am not going to go through them im sure your not silly and know exactly how to use it. If not then just read the instructions. The product is NOT suitable to be around children as the lid can easily be removed and sprayed. It comes neatly packed and the box for the perfume is a really calming colour too. The colour of the perfume bottle is pure white with a gold rim and a crystal clear type designed lid. 

Overall Rating:

I rate this product 10/10 due to absolutely no faults whatsoever. I would DEFINITELY recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a good quality perfume that lasts roughly a whole day. If you wish to buy this product please click the link below:

Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Body Moisturiser & Body Wash

Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Body Moisturiser & Body Wash
I received Cetaphil Skin Restoring Body Moisturiser & Body Wash for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
Cetaphil Skin Restoring Body Moisturiser made my skin feel incredibly soft and grease free! I have tried many moisturisers in the past due to freebies and just generally buying different products to try out. In my opinion majority of the moisturisers i have used produce the same result, leaving my skin feeling refreshed and smooth. I guess each moisturiser has their own personal smell and quality. Cetaphil Skin Restoring Body Moisturiser in my opinion smells quite nice and lasts for some time. The pump is really easy to use. I would say about one-two squirts will do the trick depending on what part of the body you want to moisturise. Cetaphil Skin Restoring Body Wash also smelt lovely and refreshing too! It was easy to apply and wash off and made my skin smell incredible.

Disadvantages:
In my opinion i have found no disadvantages with either of these products so far.

Safety/Packaging:
Cetaphil Skin Restoring Body Moisturiser & Body Wash came together in an padded envelope with a printed message from Cetaphil company saying 'Thank You For Reviewing Our Product.' These products can be used on anyone as far as im aware apart from children as it could cause rashes. The font is clear and easy to read and the colour contrast is great on both products. The quality of the bottles are incredible! I love the way these bottles feel as they do not feel like any other moisturiser i have had in the past.

Overall Rating:
Overall, I rate both products 10/10 for their quality and amazing results. If you wish to buy or take a look at either of these products please visit the direct link to what ever product you wish to buy on the links below:

Kings Seeds

 Kings Seeds
I received 10 packets  of mixed seeds from King Seeds for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
I planted some of my seeds a few weeks ago and are slowly starting to grow. I have not took any pictures yet because they have not came through. I received 10 different types of different seeds which were: Onion, Mixed Lettuce, Coriander, Sweet Basil, Sweetcorn, Musselburgh Leek, Asparagus, Waved Mixture of flowers and Swede. I have planted the Waved Mixture of flowers and the other type of flowers shown in the picture above so far. The seeds safely arrived the next day and i was extremely happy with the quality of the packaging and the actual seeds.

Disadvantages:
So far, there are no problems with anything so in this case, i can not fault this product in any way.

Safety/Packaging:
The packaging is very colourful which is very eye catching and attractive. Especially the flower packets. I like the fact that on the packaging, there is a clear picture of what you are going to plant. This is particularly good for people who can not read or can not read English as they can look at the picture and know exactly what they are looking for. The packaging can be around children as long as they d not eat it. It will not do no harm but it is best to keep out of reach. The seeds on the other hand must be out of reach of children as they can choke on them.

Overall Rating:
Overall, I rate this product 10/10 due to the amazing quality and fast delivery.

Simply Argan Oil pure organic argan oil

Argan Oil

Simply Argon Oil
I received this product free in return for a review.

Advantages:
 Argan Oil is very good for lines and wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, acne, age spots, eczema, dry, frizzy or damaged hair. I used this oil for stretch marks and scars only and i have to say the results it produced were ok but not great. The stretch marks faded but they never completely went. For scars, they did start to fade after using it every day for two weeks but the Argan oil started to run out. The lid is easy to remove and the push down nozzle is easy to operate and comes out with ease.

Disadvantages:
The disadvantages were it did not last long for a 50ml bottle. The price in my opinion is expensive for someone who does not get a daily income and it does not work instantly.

Safety/Packaging:
The product is not safe to be used around children so store in a high place as it is easy to open the lid and the oil will go everywhere. Each bottle comes with its own certificate of authenticity to show that the product is real and not a fake. The font on the packaging is a bit small but its still quite easy to read.

Overall Rating:
I rate this product 7/10 due to the fact that it does not last long and does not work instantly on me like it is supposed to.

Veet EasyWax Electrical Roll-On Kit

Veet EasyWax Electrical Roll-On Kit
I Received this product free in return for a review.

Advantages:
Well, where do i start? It came with a fair amount of wax strips. Its easy to understand and prepare and when you heat up the wax, it keeps the wax at the right temperature. The wax spreads evenly and easily after the first few rolls.

Disadvantages:
There were a few disadvantages i found with this product. First of all i did not like the fact i had to wait 15-20 minutes for the wax to heat up. I like to do it straight away. The second disadvantage i found with this product was when i was rolling the wax on, it still was not hot after 15 minutes of waiting so you have to put it back on charge and wait for another 5-10 minutes before its easier to apply.

Safety/Packaging:
Well, since its a girls product, the colours that are used to make the kit and boxing, go very well together and you know its a girls product without reading it. The font is clear and the instructions are easy to read and understand. It is not safe to be used around children as it gets very hot and the wax is poisonous.

Overall Rating:
Due to the fact that the product had many disadvantages, I rate this product 5/10 overall.

Available in Superdrug for £29.99

Cusson Mum & Me New Mum Firming Butter

Cusson Mum & Me New Mum Firming Butter 200ml

I received Cussons Mum & Me Firming Butter for free from Boots in return for a review.

Advantages: 

I have never tried the Cussons Mum & Me range up until i received it free from Boots! The fragrance is really refreshing and it felt really soft and smooth on my skin. It absorbed really easily as it didn't seem too thick or greasy. My skin felt hydrated and i could smell the firming butter even after a few hours of use.

Disadvantages: 

The only disadvantage i can say is in my opinion, it doesnt provide the results its supposed to. It is called 'Firming Butter' but it did not firm my skin in anyway. It did make my skin feel soft and refreshed but it did not feel firm and i used this product every day till it was all gone. 

Safety/Packaging:

 The packaging is simple but beautiful at the same time. I loved the flip up lid. It makes it a lot easier to open up instead of screwing the lid on which is quite time consuming. Its important for mums trying to get dry and moisturised whilst looking after their children at the same time 

Overall Rating:

 I rate this product overall 8/10 due to the fact that it doesn't do what its supposed to do but leaves my skin looking refreshed and grease free!

Boots Pharmaceuticals Super Comfort Insoles Extra Comfort

Boots Pharmaceuticals Super Comfort Insoles Extra Comfort

I received Boots Pharmaceuticals Super Comfort Insoles Extra Comfort for free in return for a review.

Advantages:

Boots Pharmaceuticals Super Comfort Insoles Extra Comfort came in a small packaging. They come ready as size 11 and can be cut to size according to what ever foot/shoe size you are. The insoles are durable and is very cushioned which provides extra comfort. You can cut along side of the insole to make it in a certain shape or the same shape as your feet are.

Disadvantages:

I could only state two disadvantages and they are that in my opinion they don't really provide that extra comfort but as i received two pairs, i used them both in my shoe and this way they were thicker and gave more support to my feet. The second disadvantage was that after wearing the insoles for a while, the writing on the insoles start to smudge due to your feet rubbing against it which is not good because it looks horrible.

Safety/Packaging:

In my opinion they are not very save to be around children because they can easily bite them. Other than this they are pretty safe and durable. The packaging comes in a green/white packaging. It is easy to read and not so hard to open the packaging. The instructions are also easy and simple to follow.

Overall Rating:

I rate this product overall 7/10 due to not having comfort to my needs which is why i had to use two of them to provide the support i need.

Boots Baby Newborn Nappies Size 2 Mini Carry Pack

Boots Baby Newborn Nappies Size 2 Mini Carry Pack - 1 x 44 Nappies 

I received Boots Baby Newborn Nappies for free as being part of Boots Testing Panel.

Advantages: 

I was really excited to open up my parcel when i received it and i could not believe they were finally here! i received x44 nappies for my grand child and i have to say when they arrived, i could not wait for my grand child to come and stay with me so i could try the nappies out! I received my parcel first thing in the morning which gave me the whole day to examine them and see how they work while my grand child was with me for the day. From Monday to Friday, I had my Grandchild with me for the whole day so i tested the nappies out over that period of time and i have found out that the nappies do absorb well and fit perfectly. There was a indicator on the nappies which show  when the nappies were full. This definitely happens to be an advantage for me because this way i would not have to check my Grandchild's nappies every half an hour.

Disadvantage: 

I could not fault this product in any way. Some people have said if they leave the nappy on for a long period of time it leaves their babies bottoms wet but i change my Grandchild's nappy as soon as she has a little accident.

Safety/Packaging: 

The font on the packaging is clear and easy to read. The colours on the packaging are bright but not too bright. They were all packed together nicely and none were damaged. They are safe for children because they are tight and fit comfortably and does not cause any sort or rash.

Overall Rating:

I rate this product 8/10 due to a comfy, snug fit and great durability.

I recommend this product to anyone who has a new born baby.
