Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara

Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara
I received Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara in black for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
Before I actually received Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara, I went on to the Boots website just to see what it would look like. The picture they have uploaded and what it actually looks like is totally different. The one they show is Silver with red writing but in actual fact it is like a blacky, dark grey colour with gold writing. On this note, I was completely shocked when it arrived and thought I was given a totally different product. Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara comes in three different colours. Black, Waterproof and Ultra Black. Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara is said to give your lashes instant 360 degree volume and when I applied it, I found out that what they stated was indeed correct. Almost instantly you could see the length in my eye lashes and each individual eye lash was coated in black mascara. The brush has spherical bristles that wrap each and it also has straight bristles to create clump-free definition which can be a huge problem sometimes. Another great factor I found was the lid is a twist off lid like many other mascaras but it also clicks into place so you know when it is closed properly. I was genuinely impressed with the results overall. To apple the mascara is also really simple. All you have to do is apply it in a zigzag motion to your top and bottom lashes for an instant eye-opening look.

Disadvantages:
I could not find any disadvantages for this product. If the product I received was to look like the one they show on the Boots website, I probably would not buy it because the colour of the tube and the font used makes Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara look very cheap.

Safety/Packaging:
Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara came packed in a padded envelope, arrived safely and was not damaged in any way. I loved the way they created the whole look for the mascara as the colour and font blended very well together and it was also clear and easy to read.

Overall Rating:
I rate Bourjois Volume 1 Seconde Mascara: 10/10 due to its amazing factors and no disadvantages. I definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a mascara that provides instant volume and length.

NIVEA Anti-Perspirant Invisible For Black & White Deodorant

NIVEA Anti-Perspirant Invisible For Black & White Deodorant
I received NIVEA Anti-Perspirant Invisible For Black & White Deodorant for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
When I received this I was excited to give it a try. Usually when I wear black or white, especially white, I tend to get stains rather quickly no matter what deodorant I use. I was surprised to find out that when I tried this out it worked really well and did not cause me to have any stains for the whole entire day. I like the fact that it was really easy and smooth when you sprayed it. The fragrance of the deodorant was really strong but did smell rather nice,

Disadvantages:
I was disappointed when they said it lasts for 48 hours.In my opinion, I found that it DID NOT provide protection after 24 hours. It did last for a while but not 48 hours. I also did not like the fact that the smell was so strong that when I inhaled, it irritated my throat and I couldn't stop coughing or sneezing.

Safety/Packaging:
The product arrived on time and was not damaged in any way possible. It came in a little cardboard box packed with air packets to protect it from getting damaged.

Overall Rating:
Unfortunately I have to give this product a thumbs down as I did not like it at all...on that note I rate NIVEA Anti-Perspirant Invisible For Black & White Deodorant 5/10 due to some advantages and poor disadvantages. I wish I could have scored higher but unfortunately I can not do so. If you wish to purchase this product, please click the link below:

Heat Holders

Heat Holders
I received Heat Holders for free in return for an honest review.

Advantages:
When I received these, I was dead excited to try them out as my feet are usually frozen in the morning. The next day of receiving them I tried them on when I woke up and they were unbelievably soft inside. The wool is thick so it does keep the heat in and your feet are less cold until you decide to take them off, that is when you can feel the difference. If you feel the wool after taking them off, you can feel the heat that was let off from your feet. I really liked these Heat Holders because they are thick and have grip at the bottom so you don't even have to worry about slipping or falling over. I have a pink pair which I brought after I received the purple pair as I wanted to give a pair to my friend to try them out as she is always complaining about her feet being cold at night. This is what she said:

Disadvantages:
I could not find any disadvantages for these products

Safety/Packaging:
The Heat Holder socks came safely packaged in a padded envelope and were in perfect condition. the colour I received for my pair of socks were a very vibrant purple but you can get them in many different colours.

Overall Rating:
I rate Heat Holder Socks 9/10 due to the fact that they do not have any disadvantages and extremely good factors. I definitely recommend these products to anyone who gets cold feet during the day or night, Summer or Winter. They are the perfect socks for every season and are extremely comfortable.

Funky Giraffe Products

Funky Giraffe Bibs, Socks and Babygro
I received three Funky Giraffe Bibs, Socks and Babygro for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
I received these items a while back now but I never had the chance to do a review for them as my mobile broke and I lost everything. However I now have it fixed and a brand new phone at that so I was able to do the review and hopefully nothing like this ever happens again. Now I have got that bit cleared, lets get down to the individual products. Unfortunately I do not have a picture of my daughter in the babygro but I do have other pictures of her in the bibs. I was genuinely pleased at the quality of all the items and I could not wait to put them on my daughter. Even after washing each product, they still held their shape and yes even their colour!


I thought the colours on the babygro were very cute indeed. I was surprised to see that the green and pink on the babygro both complimented each other. It is not two colours I would put together but hey it worked and that's what we want isn't it? Something different instead of the same colours again and again. On the babygro, there wasn't so much going on it was just a simple design of a strawberry. My daughter seemed very intrigued by it to say the least as she kept glancing at it every now and then. When the babygro got dirty, it was machine washable and all the stains came out and it looked brand new. Again, this is something every parent has a problem with.


Instead of putting individual photos and taking up so much room on this review, I decided to make a collage to show you all my daughter wearing the bandanna bibs. I loved these. I thought they were brilliant. I was lucky enough to receive three different designed bandanna bibs They worked super well and were really easy to clean. These bibs are not at all expensive and are at an affordable price of £4. What more could you ask for? There cute and they come in many different colours and designs to match almost every outfit! If you end up buying one, you will end up buying more. The more you buy, the more money you will end up saving. I really could not wait to write this review and tell you all how brilliant they were. After a few weeks of owning these products and using them on a regular basis, they still held their shape and colour. Fantastic. Definitely worth buying I can tell you that much. If you wish to purchase any of the bandannas pictured left, please click the according links below.

My final product for Funky Giraffe Is the socks. Now when I received these, at the time they were a little big for my daughter but that never stopped me. I waited a while until she was able to wear them and she rocked them! I thought they really did look funky and even my mother commented on them saying they were really cute and asked me where I got them from. The quality of these socks are fabulous. I couldn't ask for anything better. I really couldn't. Polka dots go with almost any outfit so it was not a problem picking out an outfit for my little one. After a few washes, they still were in perfect condition and did not lose shape or go all bobbly like some socks do. Again another perfect product. I would recommend to anyone looking to buy socks. These products are extremely cheap and come at a price of £1.50.  Click the link below to be taken directly to this product.

Overall Rating:
I rate all items above 10/10 due to their amazing qualities and no faults or disadvantages whatsoever. I definitely recommend Funky Giraffe as a company to buy from.

JessiCurl Spiralicious Styling Gel

JessiCurl Spiralicious Styling Gel
I received JessiCurl Spiralicious Styling Gel for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
After having received a few products before from JessiCurl, I was extremely excited to try out one of their latest additions to the family,..Spiralicious Styling Gel. When I received it in the post, I remember tearing open the packaging to take it out and just hold it in my hands, smell it and read what it really was all about. So if your reading this review you are obviously interested in this product and want to read on. Well, you are not wrong so please do not stop reading half way through. JessiCurl Spiralicious Styling Gel is a FANTASTIC styling gel and these words are not just coming out of my mouth but my mothers also. She absolutely loved it and in fact didn't want to use one of her old styling products. Spiralicious Styling Gel is very gel like in consistency and does not flake off in your hair half way through the day like many other hair styling products. It holds your curls in all day long. At times your hair may feel hard but this really is not a problem because it is ever so easy to scrunch it back out leaving your hair lovely and soft. Say Goodbye to frizzy hair! Yes you heard that right! It even controls frizz! What more could you ask for? Not much I guess as JessiCurl Spiralicious Styling Gel provides it all. The lid is easy to open and close as you do not have to use much force to open or close it. You can buy it in many different sizes for example you can buy 2 oz, 8 oz & 32 oz all at different prices depending on the size you wish to buy. I also think its fantastic that you can order a sample before you actually purchase the product. If you wish to purchase a sample, please click the 'Sample' link at the bottom of the review to be taken directly to the page.

Disadvantages:
I honestly could not find a fault or any disadvantage in this product.

Safety/Packaging:
The product came well packed in a padded envelope and was not damaged in anyway whatsoever.  It comes just as you would expect it to come. Delivery did not take very long either but it is definitely worth the wait. The font on the bottle is clear and easy to read and the colours on the bottle blend very well together.

L'OREAL Volume Million Lashes So Couture

L'OREAL Volume Million Lashes So Couture
I received L'OREAL Volume Million Lashes So Couture for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
Majority of a girls dream is to find a decent mascara that doesn't cause clumps, stiff lashes and has refined volume that can be used on a daily basis. Well L'OREAL Volume Million Lashes So Couture does exactly that! The Couture brush has been tailored by experts to coat every individual lash without clumps. Its extra soft and small bristles gently thicken the look of each lash within its rigid wand enable you to spread the formula evenly from root to tip. The liquid black silk formula gently envelops each lash with volume and intensity, leaving ashes soft. Say goodbye to stiff lashes! Using this mascara I was very happy with the out come. It made my lashes look younger, darker and there definitely was no clumps!! What more could you ask for? I also really liked the design of the mascara even though it is £10.99 it is definitely worth every penny. The bristles are small and the font on the tube blends well with the other colours used. The colours stood out from afar and looks like a decent mascara not any old cheap one. When you twist the lid to close it, you can feel it click back into place so you know it is secure. This was another great feature which I really enjoyed.

Disadvantages:
I could not find any disadvantages for this product.

Safety/Packaging:
The product came packed in a padded envelope and it was not damaged in anyway whatsoever. It is safe to use just be careful where you leave it lying around.

Overall Rating:
I rate L'OREAL Volume Million Lashes So Couture 10/10 due to its amazing factors and no disadvantages.

Nivea anti-perspirant Powder Touch

Nivea anti-perspirant Powder Touch
I received Nivea anti-perspirant Powder Touch 48 hour protection for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
Nivea anti-perspirant Powder Touch contains precious Kaolin powder. When I first used this deodorant, I was utterly shocked at the results. It had a fragrance like baby powder and it hardly made any noise when you pushed the button. Another great factor about this product is that you can lock the aerosol can so if you wish to take it away with you, you can lock it so you can not accidentally press the button if it is in your bag. This has happened to me many times in the past and left my bag wet but smelling great Haha. In my opinion the spray does not sting or irritate you in anyway whatsoever. The deodorant smelled absolutely beautiful and it did not irritate me when I inhaled it as it was soft and not so strong. Nivea anti-perspirant Powder Touch  is at an affordable price of only £1! Bargain!!

Disadvantages:
The only disadvantage I found in this product which happens with a few other deodorants I have used in the past is it leaves white powder on my skin. This could be because I sprayed to much or even too close to my skin.

Safety/Packaging:
The product came safely packed along with another deodorant that I received. Neither of the products were damaged in any way. The delivery was also fast.

Overall Rating:
I rate Nivea anti-perspirant Powder Touch: 8/10 due to it being a beautifully smelling product but also because of its disadvantage which really irritates me a lot when using deodorants.

Pampers Active Fit Nappies

Pampers Active Fit Nappies
I received Pampers Active Fit Nappies for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
I received this pack of 22 nappies to try on my niece as my daughter has out grown this size. When receiving these nappies, I was thrilled to find out what they would be like. I have used Pampers in the past on my own daughter but I have not tried these ones in particular. Pampers Premium Protection range, is specially designed to fit your little ones every move and provide their best protection. Pampers Active Fit Nappies have been voted Nappy Product of the year 2014. That's just what you want to hear right? Trying out a product that was voted product of the year. This excited me even more. Writing a review based on how my niece took the the nappies and my opinion and my sister in laws on how well they worked was quite hard to put together. My niece seemed to be happy crawling, playing with her toys and was quite comfortable in them. My Sister in law also agreed and said that they absorbed much better than the brand she was using before and they have a longer absorbency patch. Pampers Active Fit Nappies are also strong and can hold more too. The nappies fits around the waist, legs and bottom to support movements like rolling over and stretching. I thought this was fantastic. Pampers Active Fit Nappies provide twelve hours of dryness.

Disadvantages:
I could not fault this product in any way.

Safety/Packaging:
The nappies came tightly packed with air packets to keep the product tight so it would not get damaged during delivery. Once again I was happy with the delivery and also the speed in the delivery. The nappies are safe to use and work extremely well.

Overall Rating:
I rate Pampers Active Fit Nappies 10/10 due to its larger absorbency patch and how well they worked for my niece. Pampers Active Fit Nappies are at an affordable price of £5.99. I would definitely recommend this product to any parent who wishes to try this product out.
