Cherry Lambrini & Mascara

Lambrini & Mascara
Cherry Lambrini, Mascara & Mirror
I received a voucher to buy a free bottle of Lambrini of my choice along with a Lambrini Mascara and a hairbrush with a mirror in return for a review.

Advantages:
I have recently tried this new Cherry Lambrini drink and in my opinion, the Cherry Lambrini  is a well packaged drink and come in many different great, refreshing flavours. The cherry flavour leaves a nice aftertaste in your mouth. It is not expensive in my opinion. It is £2.99 for a 75Cl for the cherry flavour and £1.99 for 75Cl of Bianco flavour. The hairbrush with a mirror is pocket sized and is easy to carry around with you or pop it into your handbag when traveling. It is pink which means it is easier to spot quickly when you are looking for it.

Disadvantages:
For the Lambrini brand overall i have to say there is not many variety's of flavours and they should think about extending this as the flavors they have produced so far are incredible. For the Lambrini mascara, i have to say in my opinion was not very great. I tried this on for the first time and i have to say the brush is huge so it makes me think alot of mascara is going to go on to my eyelash but as i applied it hardly nothing came on to my eyelashes and it looked as if i was not wearing any and i just went back to my normal brand. The only thing i can say it did was darken my eyelashes a tiny bit. The contents inside the container felt as if there was hardly no mascara inside it. For this reason i recommend people to stick to the brand they are using as this one is not so great.

Safety/Packaging:
The bottle of Lambrini was well packaged and the colours were of a great contrast. The font was clear and easy to read also with no problems whatsoever. If the bottle was to be dropped there is a possibility it will break so be very careful when handling this product. The Lambrini mascara comes in a nice tube and the font and colours are clear and easy to read. All products in my opinion should be kept away from children as it can be very harmful for them if drunk.

Overall Rating:
I rate the following products (1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest)
Lambrini Brand: 8/10
Cherry Lambrini: 9/10
Lambrini Mascara: 2/10
Lambrini Hairbrush & Mirror: 9/10
I recommend the Cherry Lambrini to anyone who is willing to try something new!

Halls XS

Sugar free Halls XS Peppermint and Lemon:
I received two packets of Peppermint flavour Halls XS and two packets of lemon flavour Halls XS to review along with a free pen and sticky notes.

Advantage:
The Halls XS Peppermint Flavour had a lovely minty flavour. The peppermint flavour would be good for when you have a cold or a blocked nose because within ten seconds of putting one in your mouth it opens up your nostrils and you can smell easily.The lemon flavour were quite sweet in my opinion and the strength rating was perfect. They were not bitter at all. They come in a handbag/pocket size so they are easy to take with you anywhere you go. Both flavours are great for diabetics because they are sugar free.

Disadvantages:
The Halls XS Peppermint Flavour wasn't as strong as I thought they were going to be. They are tiny and are definitely not recommended for children under four as it say on the box. in my opinion I would say its probably not suitable for children under the age of five or six as they can easily be swallowed and choked on. On the front of the box for the peppermint flavour they have a strength rating and it said 5 which made me think that they were going to be extremely minty and strong. in my opinion I felt it was more at a strength of three and not a five.

Safety/Packaging:
The packaging is fun and easy to follow as they are numbered and it tells you how to open them. They are colour co-ordinated to the flavour inside the box. The font is clear and easy to read. This product in my opinion is not suitable to children under the age of six as they are extremely small.

Overall Rating:
I rate the Halls XS Peppermint flavour 7/10 and the Lemon Flavour 9/10. I only recommend anyone to buy the lemon flavour.


They are available in most superstores.

TruVape E-Liquids

TruVape E-Liquids
TruVape E-Liquids:
i received three 10ml bottles of E-Juice to review from TruVape.

Advantages:
I tasted all three flavours that I received and I have to say that the flavours I got all produced a great amount of smoke and the flavours were spot on even though they were nicotine free. TruVape deliver their products very quickly.  I have spoke to many other people who order from TruVape and they have said that they have very good service and fast delivery. I definitely would order from them again but I need the nicotine hit so I wouldn't order the ones without nicotine.

Disadvantages:
The only disadvantage for me was that there was no nicotine in it. Other than that they were great products.

Safety/Packaging:
TruVape's E-Liquids come in individual boxes so they were safely packed. The tops for the E-Liquids were child proof and even if a child got hold of the nicotine free ones it wouldn't do as much harm as the ones that do. The font on the bottle and the small print is clear and easy to read. The colours on the bottle all blend in well with each other and does not strain your eyes.

Overall Rating:
I rate this product 8/10 due to the ones i received were nicotine free and im not a nicotine free person but the flavours speed and packaging the products came made the score even more higher. I definitely recommend TruVape product to anyone who vapes.

Hangsen E-Liquids

Hangsen E-Liquid
Hangsen E-Liquids
I received five different E-Liquids to review. In this review you will be reading out my five E-Liquids i received. I received: Lemon Limed, Mint Candy, Blackcurrant, Granny Smith and Super Mint.

Advantages:
First of all, the advantages for Lemon Limed was that in my opinion it had a lovely tangy flavour. The smoke produced was great. When you first vape Lemon Limed, it had more of a strong citric flavour and i couldn't distinguish between the two but as i continued to vape, the more the lemon flavour came out with  a hint of lime.

Second of all Mint Candy. Mint Candy in my opinion has a light smooth taste to it and was not too sickly. Out of the five Hangsen E-Liquids i received, i have to say it is my second favourite E-Liquid from Hangsen. The mint flavour was mild and soft and wasn't to harsh which mixed well with the mild sweetness from the candy. Hence the name Mind Candy. Very Very amazing flavour. I definitely recommend this product to any one.

Thirdly Blackcurrant. Blackcurrant first of all, without even vaping it when you smell it, it has a really strong smell to it and actually smells like blackcurrant. When vaping it, it had a very good throat hit and the smoke produced was great. The flavour itself when vaped tastes sweet and just like Blackcurrant. If you like sweet things and have a sweet tooth then Blackcurrant is the flavour for you.

Granny Smith is the NICEST  flavour i have ever tried from Hangsen. This is my favourite all time flavour. It is my favourite because i love apples and Granny Smith's are the best. If you love apples, then this is the flavour for you.  It had a juicy flavour and when it was vaped, people were asking me what flavour it was.
Out of all the five flavours i received it was the first one to be emptied.

Finally Super Mint. Super Mint is a stronger version of a Mint E-Liquid in general. It is like eating a spearmint chewing gum. It is a good vape and an excellent throat hit. I recommend this product to anyone who vape's.

Disadvantages:
There are no disadvantages for any of these products.

Safety/Packaging:
Hangsen E-Liquids are child safety as they have safety caps on and children are not capable to open them. The packaging of the E-Liquids are quite colourful and they come in a box depending on how many you buy.

My Mixes:
I mixed Granny Smith and Super Mint together and they were an amazing combination and tasted great. You could also mix Granny Smith and Mint Candy together which also tastes superb.

Overall Rating:
I rate these products 10/10 due to the fact that they have great flavours and i have had no problems whatsoever. If you wish to buy any of these products then you can go to LiquidVape and purchase them from there.

E45 Moisturising Lotion & E45 Nourish And Restore Body Lotion

E45 Moisturising Lotion
E45 Moisturising Lotion:
I received E45 Moisturising Lotion & E45 Nourish And Restore Body Lotion for free in return for a review.
Finding the perfect moisturiser can be very hard.This is that product for me.E45 moisturising lotion is mainly for people with dry or sensitive skin. I don’t naturally suffer from either of these problems, but I suffered from acne for a couple of years and I’ve been using other creams for this. Some chemicals and creams that i use can leave me skin to feel somewhat dry. Obviously I don’t want my skin to become too dry, which is why i use E45 Moisturising Lotion.

Advantages:
This product is perfect as it moisturises intensively but has a very light formula. The moisturiser is the consistency of thick cream, so it’s not too runny. I never worry about applying too much as the formula is just not greasy at all and leaves my skin feeling lovely and soft at the end. The more you put on, the longer it will take to soak in but I find it takes about 30 seconds for your application to set in if it is not much. Because the formula is so light, there are no problems with leaving any kind of residue or greasy layer like some products can do. After applying the moisturiser, my skin feels soft to the touch and grease free! I wouldn’t say it particularly improves the appearance of my skin but i am happy with the results. It definitely doesn’t make the appearance worse, which is one that most people dislike.I use the product mainly on my hands and face. This product does a great job on my skin and if you have sensitive skin, lucky for you it is fragrance free.

Disadvantages:
 This product has no smell to it which is a downside if you do not have sensitive skin so it can be a bit boring.

Safety/Packaging:

The packaging is safe and the font is clear and easy to read. I would say in my opinion the product is safe to be around children as the caps are quite secure but just to be super safe keep them high up.

Overall Rating:
I would recommended only if you want a reliable moisturiser that does the job with no fuss but i do not
 recommended it if you want a real pamper product that makes you look, feel and smell lovely. I rate this product 8/10.

www.e45.co.uk

E45 Nourish And Restore Body Lotion.
E45 Nourish And Restore Body Lotion:
I received E45 Nourish And Restore Body Lotion for free in return for a review.I wouldn't have bought it myself due to the my normal one i use.

 Advantages:
 I've had problem  really with dry skin but after using this product for a couple of weeks my skin is much softer than it ever was. The best part is the lotion sinks in quickly so can be used in the morning, just before getting dressed, rather than having to wait until bedtime and it is grease free!

Disasvantages:
The scent is quite nice but I'd prefer it to be a fresher smell and longer lasting.

Safety/Packaging:

The packaging is safe and the font is clear and easy to read. I would say in my opinion the product is safe to be around children as the caps are quite secure but just to be super safe keep them high up

Overall Rating:
I would recommended only if you want a reliable moisturiser that does the job with no fuss but i do not
 recommended it if you want a real pamper product that makes you look, feel and smell lovely. I rate this product 9/10 due to the minor fragrance it has.

Bayer Contour XT Glucose Blood Testing Machine

Bayer Contour XT Glucose Blood Testing Machine
I received a Bayer Contour XT Glucose Blood Testing Machine for free in return for a review.

Advantages:


This machine is easy to use. It is fast and simple. The memory function is very good because if you forget to put your BM in your diary or forgot what it read, it's stored in the machine so you do not need to worry. The cases that you can get make it easy to store and hold. You can also get stickers for your Bayer Contour XT Glucose Blood Testing Machine which makes it look more attractive and fun to use.

Disadvantages:
The only disadvantage is if you have big hands, it is a little machine and may be quite hard to hold.

Safety/Packaging: 
The product is not safe to be around any children because of the needles that it comes with. Bayer Contour XT Glucose Blood Testing Machine is well packed in one box and some of the other bits like the testing strips are inside a little box in the big box and the needles are also in a separate clear plastic bag.

Overall Rating:
Bayer Contour XT Glucose Blood Testing Machine
Overall i rate this product 9/10 because it is easy to use store and works amazingly.

Culpitt Cake Decorating Sugar Paste

Culpitt Sugar Paste
Culpitt Sugar Paste
I received a 250g of White Culpitt Sugar Paste to review.

Advantages:
Culpitt Sugar Paste was very easy to roll. You did not have to put a lot of energy into the rolling procedure as it took about 7-10 rolls before it was the perfect shape i wanted it. It was soft and easy to apply. On the packet of Culpitt Sugar Paste, they state 'Ready to roll icing, with a beautifully smooth finish.' I agree 100% with this statement because as you can see underneath my review is a picture i took of some of my cupcakes i baked and the Culpitt Sugar Paste i used to decorate the top of my cupcakes. Culpitt Sugar Paste tasted deliciously sweet and made my mouth water. After eating one cupcake, i had to eat another! I did not expect Culpitt Sugar Paste to taste anything like the way it did. I was extremely impressed with my end results as my cupcakes turned out stunning and eye catching.

Disadvantages:
In my opinion, i can not fault this product in any way.

Safety/Packaging:
Culpitt Cake Decorating Sugar Paste comes in a clear plastic packaging with a purple label with white polka dots on it which in my opinion is quite attractive as it is not overly decorated. It has nice, simple colours which in my opinion are used to give a calm effect. The font used is clear and easy to read. Culpitt Cake Decorating Sugar Paste in my perspective is safe for both babies and children to eat. 

Overall Rating:
Culpitt Sugar Paste is a fun and enjoyable product that is easy to roll into any shape you wish. It tastes incredible and i will definitely be buying more of this product in the future. I rate this product 10/10 as there were absolutely no disadvantages. I also recommend this product to anyone who enjoys baking and rolling sugar paste.

A few of my cupcakes  i baked using Culpitt Sugar Paste.

More Flavours Of Halo E-Liquid

Four More Flavours Of Different Halo E-Liquid
I received four different flavours of Halo E-Liquid to review from The Smokers Angel. I received; Champagne, Virginia, Raspberry and Raging Bull.

Advantages:
The first flavour i am going to review is Raging Bull since it was the first flavour i thought i should try. Raging Bull in my opinion tasted like a mixture of berries. It wasn't overly sweet, it was just right. Even though i received 18mg it gave a nice throat hit which wasn't very powerful. The colour of the liquid was a nice rose red colour.
The second flavour i am going to review is Champagne. The Champagne flavour also had a lovely rose red colour to it and was 18mg. Before i had poured the liquid into my clearomizer i squeezed the E-Juice from the bottle so i could smell it and it smelt really sweet and quite a lot like champagne.
In my opinion i can not say enough good things about Raspberry. This is because it tasted exactly like raspberries. It had a nice strong flavour, a very good throat hit. It had a nice thick cloud of vape produced. Even my son said the smell of the vape when i blew it out said it smelt really strong and sweet.Out of the four flavours i was given, this was by far the best. 
I would like to state that The Smokers Angel deliver really fast. As soon as i gave my details, the next day i received my E-Juices. This is great and very important as if you have just recently quit smoking and your E-Juices have ran out, you can make and order and get it delivered by the next day!

This is my E-Cig containing Raging Bull.
Disadvantage:
As you probably have noticed i only done three reviews for the flavours and you are probably wondering what happened to the fourth. Virginia. In my own opinion i personally did not like this flavour. It had a horrible damp, strong smell and tasted like the strongest cigarette man ever created.
I did in fact have one problem about Champagne. Although i was expecting it to taste like grapes, it had a sour bitter taste to it which to me is a disadvantage but some people out there may like the sour bitter taste!

Safety/Packaging:
All E-Juices came with child safety caps and the nozzles on each E-Juice has a thin tip which makes it a lot easier to pour the liquid into your E-Cigarette. Majority of the E-Juices have their own individual bright colours. The font on the bottles are clear and easy to read and the instructions and dangers are also easy to read.

Overall Rating:
I rate Raging Bull 8/10
I rate Raspberry 10/10
I rate Virginia 4/10
I rate Champagne 8/10

L'Oreal Paris Mousse Absolue


L'Oreal Paris Mousse Absolue
I was one of the few lucky people who got to try the new L'Oreal Paris Mousse Absolue!

Advantages:
L'Oreal Paris Mousse Absolue is a product that is reusable for people who have short or medium hair. This product is much easier to use that my usual hair dye that i use regularly. Another advantage was that there was a tube of conditioner that came with the product which can be used on long hair and there is still lots left over for my next wash. There are 14 different flawless shades to choose from but as my hair is quite dark anyway i thought i would go for a darker shade which is shade 300. Once the product has been used, the end result is spectacular. The instructions that were provided were simple and easy to follow as they were in a basic step by step guide. L'Oreal Paris Mousse Absolue is £8.99 in Boots.

Disadvantages:
L'Oreal Paris Mousse Absolue is reusable but not if you have long hair as this means you can't do any touch up's to your hair. As i have long hair, i had to use all of the contents inside and did not have any to spare. Another disadvantage that i come across was the smell at first when applying the product has a very very strong ammonia smell to it but once it has been applied and you let it set into your hair, the smell disappears and turns into quite a nice flower smell.

Safety/Packaging:
This product when used is safe but as soon as you use the product with the push down cap, it instantly squirts out, so a child would have no problem getting the contents out.Therefore in my opinion i would say it is not child friendly. L'Oreal Paris Mousse Absolue comes in a plastic container with a nice gold sticker to cover the contents inside up.

Overall Rating:
I rate this product 8/10 due to the fact that there are many disadvantages and few advantages but the product has great ending results.

14 different shades to choose from.

The Natural Pet Toy Dog Biscuits



The Natural Pet Toy Dog Biscuits:
 I received four dog biscuits from The Natural Pet Toy Company to review.

Advantages:

I gave my dog Zeus one as you can see in the video that he was really excited to be getting something new to eat. He seemed to really love the biscuit as he ran away with it and devoured it with in ten seconds. The biscuits were quite large and were well packed

Disadvantages:
There are no disadvantages towards this product apart from the packaging not being safe towards children.

 Safety/Packaging:
The Natural Pet Toy Company neatly packed the biscuits in a clear packaging with colourful string that holds it together nicely and which made it look more appealing and eye catching. If you have children or any animals, then please keep the packaging away from them as they could choke and it is a hazard because of the string that is used to tie the bag together.

Overall Rating:
I rate this product 9/10 due to the way my dog reacted when he had his first bite. The only thing that lets this product from getting 10/10 is the fact that the packaging is not safe to children.

The Natural Pet Toy Catnip

The Natural Pet Toy Company Catnip:
 I received four Catnip Toys from The Natural Pet Toy Company and four dog biscuits for my dog. I could only upload one video of Chelsea because my other three cats were out when the postman came and have not come back since. In this review i will tell you about how my cat Chelsea reacted when she first saw the Catnip and when my other cats come back home, i will try to upload other videos and pictures.

Advantages:
 In the video i have attached you can see, how much my cat Chelsea loved it. This shocked me greatly because Chelsea is a very Shy and Timid cat who doesn't go out because she gets scared of the cars and people she doesn't recognize pass by. She also doesn't eat anything you give her like tuna or chicken. Nothing. She will sniff it and just walk away. The only thing she eats is cat food. Whereas all the other cats just grab everything you give them and go! When i gave her the catnip you may be able to hear her purring and meowing as she loved it a lot. Chelsea sat there and started rolling on the floor, rubbing herself against it trying to bite through it. She dribbled all over the floor and all over the catnip. It was completely soaked! I'm extremely happy to say that The Natural Pet Toy Company produce great products for both cats and dogs.

Disadvantages:
The only disadvantage i found about this product is that in my own opinion it does not smell very nice but then again its a cat toy not a human toy so the smell wouldn't be a problem as you can only smell it when  you bring the product up close to you .

Safety/Packaging:
The packaging of the product is very well done. In each packet with the catnip toy, there is this piece of cardboard which i think is made from recycled items as it is very tough and can not rip which contains information about the product and where The Natural Pet Toy Company is based. The product itself is safe for children as it is made out of material which can not do any harm to children in any way.

Overall Rating:
I rate this product 10/10 because of the fact that my cats loved it and wouldn't leave it alone for hours. Even though the product did not smell to great, this is something that doesn't really concern me as i cant smell it unless it is really close to me. I definitely recommend anyone who has a pet and wants to buy toys for their pet, then The Natural Pet Toy Company is the place to go!

Salcura Antiac- Acne Cleaning Spray

Salcura Antiac- Acne Cleaning Spray
Salcura Antiac- Acne Cleaning Spray
I received a small sample bottle of Salcura Antiac- Acne Cleaning Spray to review.

 Advantages:
 I've found this product effective for treating acne on my face. I have quite a few nasty spots on my face but after using this spray for over a month, i have noticed a huge difference. I have used many different spot creams for example Freederm, Clearasil, Tee-Tree, FaceB4, Witch Naturally Clear Blemish Stick, Simple and many more but i could never find the right one. I mean, they disappear for a while but i have to be continuous because the moment i stop they come back and if they don't go, the redness is reduced by at least 65%. I have been using Salcura Antiac- Acne Cleaning Spray in the morning and just before i go to bed so the action will work much quicker. I made sure i did not use any other facial products or any other spot creams so that my review could be 100% true without help from any other product and so i would know whether the product is actually working or not.Other than that, it works quite well. Salcura Antiac- Acne Cleaning Spray is a fast acting spray.

Disadvantages:
The spray does not over-dry my skin but I did make my face feel rougher than usual.The smell of Salcura Antiac- Acne Cleaning Spray in my opinion is really nasty and when spraying it on your face you have to be extremely careful that some of it don't go in your eye which is one thing i found hard because you have to spray it right close to your face and then because the substance is very runny it runs down your face so you have to be prepared to rub it in on your face quickly. Another thing that worries me is that it does not have a child safety cap on it and the cap is quite easy to unscrew.

Safety/Packaging:
The bottle does not have a child safety cap on it and it is very toxic and dangerous for children and the cap is quite easy to unscrew so children can drink it which could harm them. So if you have children, please keep it out of reach so they have no dangers around them. Salcura Antiac- Acne Cleaning Spray comes in a box and on the actual product, it tells you what the product is good for. The writing is quite small but it is still clear to read.

Overall Rating:
I rate this product 6/10 due to the fact the smell is not so great and it does not have a child safety cap and it is easy to unscrew and children can drink it which is very very dangerous and can harm them.

Sadolin Classic Wood Protection

Sadolin Classic Wood Protection
Sadolin Classic Wood Protection:
I received a small can of  Butterscotch Classic Wood Protection to review from Sadolin.

Advantages:
Sadolin is a well known Company who has a great range of Wood Protection which i have to state the one i received was a  remarkable product which does exactly what it says on the Tin. The range of colours is comprehensive and i did have a range to choose from between many different Colours but i chose Butterscotch because majority of wood in my house is that colour. Sadolin Classic Wood Protection is easy to apply, and can be painted over again once it has dried up. Sadolin Classic Wood Protection can be used whatever the weather and does an amazing job through out the year. I received this product over three-five months ago and the result was incredible. Up to this day, the colour still shines and looks like it has just been painted. This is because of the amazing quality of the product and the fact that it is longer lasting. I have used many other Wood Protection Products in the past that are somewhat pricy and the protection does not last very long. Therefore after using my sample of Sadolin Classic Wood Protection,  even though it is quite expensive it is most definitely worth the buy. The price value ranges from colour to size so i can not really be precise on the price of each product.

 Disadvantages:
The only thing that concerns me about this product is, when i looked online to see how much the product would cost for a slightly larger tin is not cheap. For this reason i wouldn't buy this product on a regular basis or every year to re-coat my doors but i definitely believe that it is worth buying once in a while.

Safety/Packaging:
The safety of this product is great because it is almost impossible to open which your bare hands, you will need to get something sharp or strong enough to open the lid. This is completely safe around children until you open it. Once You have opened the product, it becomes unsafe especially if you have young children who are unaware of the dangers. The packaging of this product is quite simple. There is not many different colours used to create the label on the tin which therefore makes it simple and easy to read. The writing is a bit small but that doesn't really matter unless you have weak eyesight.

Overall Rating:
I rate this product 8/10 due to the fact that it is quite an expensive product but also that it works extremely well.

Finish Quantum Tablets

My Two Samples
Finish Quantum Tablets for Dishwashers:
I received one Original Finish Quantum Tablet  for myself and one Lemon Finish Quantum Tablet for my friend to review but i gave the Original Finish Quantum Tablet to my friend as i had tried that one in the past but i kept the Lemon Finish Quantum Tablet for myself because i had not used that one yet and really wanted to see how well it worked. I also received a £1.50 off voucher of any Finish Quantum Pack.

Advantages:
Finish Quantum gives me very clean dishes. Probably the best Tablets yet. Even the greasy dishes come out super clean and grease free. The Lemon Finish Quantum Tablet has a refreshing smell to it and the appearance is pretty appealing to. My Glasses that get washed seem to sparkle more and there is no residue or marks on ANY of the dishes. Finish Quantum Tablets for Dishwashers are a terrific value for money. In Tesco, they sell 30 Lemon, Apple & Lime or the Regular Dishwasher Tablets for £5.50 or any three packs of 20 for £10.00 which i think is very good as they last a long time unless you have a big family and use a dishwasher every day. I loved this product so much that i used my £1.50 off voucher in Tesco and brought a pack of Lemon Finish Quantum Tablets.

 Disadvantages:
 I have tried to find a fault in the product but to be honest i couldn't because they are strong, smell great and leave my dishes looking superb.

Safety/Packaging:
The packaging of the product is tight, secure and well packed. It will take a fair few tugs at the packaging to get it open which also means it is nearly impossible for any children to open it.The packaging is colourful and eye catching and the tablets themselves are also quite appealing. Once the product has been opened be sure to quickly use it because if it falls on the floor and breaks and you have a pet, it may try to eat the little broken bits off it.

Overall Rating:
I rate this item 10/10 and i would definitely recommend this product to anyone who has a dishwasher.

Halo E-Liquid

Strawberry, cherry & American Red
Halo E-Liquid:
Halo E-Liquid
I received three different flavors of E-Juice to review from The Smokers Angel.

 Advantages:
 I have to say first of all, i was extremely impressed with the speed of the delivery. They came the next day which i was completely shocked about. I received a Cherry flavour, Strawberry flavour and an American Red flavour. The Cherry one i received, i was very satisfied with the quality of it and the flavor itself was quite strong. The smoke that was produced from all of them were good and quite powerful. The Strawberry flavor had a milder after taste to the Cherry Flavor and unsurprisingly tasted like strawberries. The American Red flavor has a strong tobacco flavor but tastes great. Even though it is £6.50 per E-Juice, The Smokers Angel decided instead of  lowering the price of each E-Juice, they have a special offer up, so people buying the E-Juice get three free clearomisers when they order 6 bottles. They also do special offers every month.

Disadvantages:
The American Red flavor in my opinion the smell is not a something you would want to smell everyday as it is quite off putting but hey, that's tobacco for you!

Safety/Packaging:
All E-Juices come with child safety caps and the nozzles on each E-Juice has a thin tip which makes it a lot easier to pour the liquid into your E-Cigarette. If i had enough money, i would continue to buy from The Smokers Angel.I strongly recommend that if you can afford to spend £6.50 for a 15ml bottle then The Smokers Angel is the place to go.

Overall Rating:
I rate these products 8/10 due to the fact that the company delivers the products fast and they are great products but it lost two marks because of the American Red smell and the fact that they are quite expensive.

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm

Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm
Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm:

Advantages:
Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm is a product that i use daily now. It truly is absolutely amazing and such a wonderful product. The product itself when applied makes your lips tingle and feel cold and refreshed because of the hint of peppermint oil that has been used.This makes me want to use the product even more and more frequently. It is 100% natural which means you will never find petrochemicals, phthalates, parabens or sodium lauryl sulphate in the product.

Disadvantages:
I actually cant fault this product in any way possible.

Safety/Packaging:
The product is safe for anyone to use as it is 100% natural and does not do no harm. The font and text size that is used is of a good size and colour. The colour yellow goes really well with the name 'Burt's Bees' because bee's or yellow and black.

How to use the product:
To use the Beeswax Lip Balm all you have to do is apply the balm liberally to your lips as often as you need it, particularly perfect for dry, cold and windy conditions as this stops your lips from getting chapped and sore from constantly licking your lips to stop them from being dry.

Overall Rating:
I rate this product 10/10 for flavour, smell, looks, taste and effect.
I recommend this product to absolutely anyone who likes lip balm and has dry or sore lips.

FaceB4 Daily Cleansing Foam & After Cleansing Serum

FaceB4 Daily Cleansing Foam & After Cleansing Serum 
FaceB4 Daily Cleansing Foam & After Cleansing Serum are two totally different products but from the same make 'FaceB4'. I have been using these product for about two weeks now day and night.

 Advantages:
 I have to say it works quite well but my face still has some spots and one day i forgot to use it and some new spots made their way through. So it does work but you have to be constant for them to go down and for the redness to go away. The Cleansing Foam and the After Cleansing Serum made my face go really soft, smooth and lovely to touch!

Disadvantages:
Both the products that i have used have not made all my spots go away and you have to be constant when using the product otherwise the spots will come back.

How to use the product:
When using the Daily Cleansing Foam you have to wash your face with cold water, leave it wet then apply one squirt of the foam from both the nozzles into your hands and rub it all over your face avoiding your eyes and rub mainly the part of your face where the spots are. Leave it on for about one minute, then wash it off with warm water. Pat your face dry with a towel and apply the After Cleansing Serum. With the Serum all you have to do is use one squirt of the cream (unless you have really bad acne i advise you to use 2 squirts.) and apply in an upwards motion until it all blends in. Once this has been done try not to touch your face as you will be making your face more oily and dirty.

Safety/Packaging:
The products are safe to use. I myself have very sensitive skin but these products did not irritate me in any way and in fact made my face feel much smoother and less oily. The packaging on both boxes are very similar but come in different sizes. The after Cleansing Serum comes in a little sliver metal container but feels very expensive and quite heavy.

Overall Rating:
I rate these products  7/10 due to them making my face feel lovely and soft and the fast acting chemicals that are in both the products! I recommend these products to anyone who has spots but not to many as i have quite a few and it got rid of majority but not all.

Stainless Steel Vamo V2

Stainless Steel Vamo V2
Stainless Steel Vamo V2:

Advantages:
The Vamo V2 is a great height and the weight is also not too heavy or too light. The one i have is a Stainless Steel which doesn't even look like a E-cigarette. I have tried many in the past and this one is by far the best! The buttons are easy to use and to work out. You can switch between the different modes with no problem whatsoever. They are easy to charge but if you don't get the kit you wont get the batteries, which means you will have to buy the batteries that go with it, which is what i done.You can either use one or two 18350 batteries or  one 18650 battery. The batteries inside the holder do not rattle.The voltage and wattage are both variable. The tank is much bigger than the standard E-cigarettes that you get which is an advantage as you can hold more juice. You can also make the Stainless Steel Vamo v2 longer or shorter or to whatever size suites you best which personally i think is very handy. Best E-Cigarette yet.

Disadvantages:
I can not fault this product at all!

Safety/Packaging:
The E-Cigarette does not come in a case as it is a bit to big to fit in any case unless you take it apart and put in. Unless you order a kit, then your E-Cigarette will come wrapped in bubble wrap to protect it.

Overall Rating:
I rate this product 10/10! I definitely would recommend the Stainless Steel Vamo V2 to anyone who wants to start Vaping.

Vevo Book s200e ASUS

Vevo Book s200e ASUS
Vevo Book s200e ASUS:
The Vevo Book s200e ASUS is a miniature version of a laptop.

Advantages:
It is touch screen and very fast. I like the fact that you can use the keyboard and mouse normally but you can just touch the screen which makes things much easier as you don't have to move the cursor to where ever you want you can just touch the screen with no hassle. It responds almost instantly after you actually touch the screen. The Vevo book itself is very fast and easy to use. I like the fact that the touch pad it multi-touch as you can use two fingers to zoom in and out just by pinching it and you can also use the touch pad to scroll up or down. It powers on fully in roughly 15 seconds which is great for those people who are in a rush and it also turns off almost instantly. It is a decent size. Not too big or too small. The keys on the actual keyboard are a standard size. It loads games and videos with no problem. The graphics are amazing. There is a lot of HDD space for a little Laptop/Netbook (what ever you wish to call it.) It is very light. I held my old Samsung laptop in one hand and held the Vevo Book s200e ASUS in the other and the Samsung laptop was so heavy i couldn't even hold it steadily without it moving and the Vevo Book s200e ASUS was so light and easy to handle. It was quite cheap for a new Laptop/Netbook that has just been released. £350 in PC World or Curry's.

Disadvantages:
There are some problems that i have come across. The first thing is it can be a bit annoying if you leave your thumb on the button and scroll with the other (sometimes zooms in and out). The second problem was the camera. The camera is great don't get me wrong but only if you have it in the correct lighting. If not it goes all pixely and the graphics is not great at all. The third and final problem is Its not too loud but not too quiet. This could be a disadvantage for some but doesn't  really affect me.

Safety/Packaging:
The Vevo Book s200e ASUS comes in a brown strong cardboard laptop box with polystyrene around it to stop it from getting damaged and to stop it from moving around. It is safe for anyone and everyone to use.

Overall Rating:
I rate this product 8/10 due to the fact that there are some disadvantages but the speed, price, size and the touch screen.

Flora Pro-activ: Actively Lowers cholesterol

500g Flora Pro-activ. Actively Lowers Cholesterol
Flora Pro-activ: Actively Lowers cholesterol:
Flora Pro-activ is clinically proven to lower cholesterol, but at this time i cannot prove or disprove the claims made by flora.

Advantages:
What i can say about this product is that the container is really brightly coloured and is very eye catching. I know if i saw this product on the shelf at my local super store, i would definitely purchase it just because of the way it looks. Just because it lowers cholesterol doesn't mean that no ordinary person with perfect cholesterol is not allowed to try it. No. That is where your wrong! Anyone and everyone can purchase this product and i have to say its money well spent. It tastes just like the normal flora. The taste is also great and it spreads nice and evenly. Flora Pro-activ comes in different variety and sizes.

 Disadvantages:
The only thing that concerns me about this product is that it is a bit pricy for an everyday user.

Safety/Packaging:
As you can probably see from the images above, the product comes in a fairly secure tub which is not easy to break in anyway. The container is brightly coloured with many different colours that blend very well together. The product is safe for anyone at any age.

Overall Rating:
I rate this product 9/10 due to the one disadvantage about the product.

Febreze Mist Refresh: Coastal Escape & Febreze Bali Sunset


Febreze Mist Refresh: Coastal Escape

Advantages:
Febreze Mist Refresh: Coastal Escape smells very refreshing. It has its own unique smell. The aerosol itself is very well designed and the colours are of a great contrast but to be quite honest i have no idea why they called it coastal escape because to me it smells like a field of flowers that have just blossomed.  The fonts and text they have used to create the aerosol are clear and easy to read.The trigger on the aerosol is quick and easy to use. Its not too long  and not too short, but it is very good and easy to use for people who are disabled and or have arthritis.

Disadvantages:
The only downside to this product is it has to be shaken properly before use otherwise little white bubbles come out.

Safety/Packaging:
Don't spray it at animals or near fish tanks as the chemicals can be poisonous towards them. Avoid spraying the Air Freshener in you eyes as you could go partially blind. The packaging for both the products i tested are brightly coloured and the font and text are both clear and easy to read.

Overall Rating:
Name: 5/10
Smell: 9/10
Trigger: 10/10
Aerosol: 10/10
Font & Text: 9/10


Febreze Mist & Refresh: Coastal Escape
















Febreze Bali Sunset:
Febreze Bali Sunset has a sweet smell and somewhat smells of a strong perfume. The aerosol again is a very bright colour and the font is also easy to read. the background of the aerosol looks like wall paper and i do not really like the way it looks but the actual spray itself smells amazing. The trigger is the same as Febreze Mist Refresh: Coastal Escape very simple to use. The only downside to this product is it has to be shaken properly before use otherwise little white bubbles come out. I prefer Febreze Bali Sunset to the Coastal Escape personally. This is mainly because i like the smell more.
