The Radical Tea Towel Company

Tea Towel

The Radical Tea Towel Company
I was lucky enough to review a Tea Towel and a Tote Bag for free from The Radical Tea Towel Company in return for a review. I will do the  'Advantages' part of the review separately but on the same page to make it easier to see which product I am reviewing for the company. For everything else in the review will be for both the products.

Advantages For The Tea Towel:
When I first received the Tea Towel, I straight away put it into the washing machine to loosen it up and make it less stiff because the Tea Towel was brand new and quite rough. After it came out of the wash, I put it on the radiator and waited for it to dry. I really liked the idea of the 'Carbon Footprint' and the quote which reads 'Tread softly, for you tread on my dreams.' (Yeats). I thought this went very well with the Tea Towel and the colour of the Tea Towel which is Green. This would represent the environment.  This is great for a Tea Towel because whenever you are in the kitchen cooking or simply just washing your hands you will always need something to dry your hands and using the Tea Towel you would obviously want to read what it says and it will remind you to use less and recycle and not waste more than you actually need. Even if you have read the quote on the Tea Towel before, using it again you already know what it says and it does play in your mind and make you want to recycle your rubbish or simply stop using excess water or food. The Tea Towel itself feels great quality and not a cheap tea towel which you will purchase and a few days down the line its ruined and ripped. The Tea Towel is made from 100% Premium Cotton and it is stitched on all four sides.

Shopping Bag

Advantages For The Vegetarian Ethical Bag:
I was extremely impressed by the durability of the Vegetarian Ethical Bag. It feels like quality and not something that you would get from a store that when carrying your shopping in, the handles will snap on you and everything goes all over the road. Yes this has indeed happened to me. Not once but TWICE. You would think once would be enough and you would learn from your mistakes but nope not me. Enough of me complaining and back to the actual product. The handles are strong and can hold quite a lot of weight. I put my two six pint milk bottles and a few of my energy drinks into this bag. Yes it was heavy but my husband did all the lifting and even he was surprised it did not rip of the handles did not snap. The sewing and stitching on the product is superb and strong. The Tote Bag is Colorful and full of lots of fruit and veg pictures on the bag.

Disadvantages:
The only disadvantage which I came across was for the Tea Towel. When you accidentally get a stain on the tea towel and wash it, it still appears slightly but I suppose this is something which you will expect on a tea towel which is not a problem to be totally honest. There are many other products which you can use like stain remover to get out of the product. I did not come across any disadvantages for the Tote Bag.

Safety/Packaging:
The products came tightly packed together and there was no damage to any of the products. The products are 100% safe to use. The colouring on the Tote Bag go very well together and the way the Tea Towel is laid out is also incredible and the colours and font blend well together too.

Overall Rating:
I rate the Tea Towel: 9/10 due to one little disadvantage which can be fixed with stain remover. If you wish to purchase this product from the company, click the link below;

JessiCurl Hair Cleansing Cream & Extra Moisturising Conditioner

 JessiCurl Hair Cleansing Cream & Extra Moisturizing Conditioner
I received both these products for free in return for a honest review.

Advantages For Both Products:
When I received these products I was quite surprised with the outcome. The Cleansing Cream and Extra Moisturising Conditioner smells purely like coconut. JessiCurl Cleansing Cream is a gentle moisturising cleanser that doesn't create tons of lather but will clean your hair and leave it quite soft. If you have dry or thick hair like me and also if you have coloured hair it can be applied too. The Extra Moisturising Conditioner has Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, Avocado Oil and lots of herbs and spices believe it or not. The Extra Moisturising Conditioner is a thick conditioner but not so thick that it feels heavy and does not leave your hair greasy. I have a extremely hard time with greasy hair and this product conquered my quest and defeated my greasy hair!

Disadvantages:
I can not fault either product in any way.

Safety/Packaging:
The products are safe for anyone who does not suffer from any allergies to the ingredients and also keep out of reach of children as all products. The products came tightly packed. The colour and font on the products blend well together and the font is clear and easy to read.

Overall Rating:
Overall I rate the following products: 10/10 due to both their amazing factors and the work that they do.
I definitely recommend these products who are suffering from greasy,dry hair or frizzy curls

John Frieda Frizz Ease Miraculous Recovery Creme Serum

 John Frieda Frizz Ease Creme Serum
I received this product for free from John Frieda in return for a honest review.

Advantages For John Frieda Frizz Ease Miraculous Recovery Creme Serum:
John Frieda Frizz Ease Miraculous Recovery Creme Serum is an intense repair formula which visibly transforms dry, frizzy hair to become silky-smooth and healthier looking. John Frieda Frizz Ease Miraculous Recovery Creme Serum Contains a thermal protectant. To put on all you have to do is apply to wet or even dry hair and dispense one pump of the Serum into the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together and apply generously the the ends of your hair. Try not to apply it directly to your roots. For longer and more thicker hair, use a bit more of the serum. Do not wash out the product leave it in wait for a little while then style as normal. I found this product great to use as it really did work well. I like the fact that you do not need to wash out the serum and you can apply it when ever you wish. If you are in a rush it helps a lot as you can apply, style and not have to worry about having a shower. The product doesn't leave your hair greasy or oily in fact it looks great and if anything more volumized after styling. This product is definitely worth the buy! This fantastic product is also affordable even for people who do not get paid much or even at all. Click the link below to go directly to John Frieda's Website.

Disadvantages:

There were no disadvantages for this product except that it left your hands feeling a little sticky and you need to wash them straight away but this is more than likely going to happen with majority of hair care products so it did not really phase me whatsoever.

Safety/Packaging:

I think the safety towards this product is great, just keep high away from children as with any other hair care product. The product came beautifully packed in a small John Frieda box with a black ribbon attached which I thought looked appealing and eye catching. I am extremely impressed by the condition I received my product in. It was not damaged and was tightly packed. The font and colours that were used on the Serum blend very well together and the font is clear and easy to read.

Overall Rating:

I rate John Frieda Frizz Ease Miraculous Recovery Creme Serum: 10/10 due to the end results. I recommend this product to anyone who is looking to buy a serum that will stop frizz and also help while styling your hair. Definitely worth the buy.

Nestle Toffee Crisp Cereal

Nestle Toffee Crisp Cereal

I was provided with a free box of Nestle's Toffee Crisp Cereal via Bzzagent in exchange for an honest review.

Advantages 

I am a cereal fanatic, and love to try new cereals, mix them around and experiment with different flavours so I was delighted to be selected for this campaign. Usually, the more exciting chocolaty cereals are aimed at kids, whilst the healthier versions are aimed at adults so it was a pleasant surprise to learn that the Toffee Crisp cereal is aimed at grown ups, however I'm sure the bright packaging will not go unnoticed by kids.

The cereal consisted of chunks of chocolate puffs and small caramel flavour balls. I thought the chunks would break apart when in milk but they held their shape, which is always a plus. 

I ate the cereal with ‎semi skimmed cold milk, and also dry, straight from the box. Both times the taste was great. However eating it dry becomes very addictive as you don't know when to stop! 

Given how yummy and chocolaty it was, I was very hesitant to look at the nutritional facts. However, the packaging clearly shows that there are 127Kcal per 30g serving, which to me was pretty normal for a cereal. The sugar percentage was a little high, at 8% of the daily intake, but that was to be expected for a cereal originating from a chocolate bar.

Disadvantages
Although I really enjoyed this cereal, it was very much on the sweet side, and I had to mix it with less flavoursome cereals (bran flakes) to balance the sweetness out. It's good for a treat but I'm not sure if this is something i'd like to eat on a daily basis.

My nephew ate the cereal dry with me and he enjoyed the taste too but commented that there weren't enough caramel balls.

Safety/Packaging:

The product is save to eat but just check the ingredients before hand in case you are allergic to any of the ingredients! The packaging on the boxing is clear and easy to read and also the font and colours that were used are appealing to the younger children who will find it fun and be more interested in the colours and font rather than the actual contents inside as this is what catches their eyes the most.

Overall Rating:

Overall I would give this cereal an 8/10!

DHC Products

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil, Extra Nighttime Moisture, Concentrated Eye Cream & Velvet Skin Coat Sachets 

I received DHC Deep Cleansing Oil, Extra Nighttime Moisture, Concentrated Eye Cream & Velvet Skin Coat Sachets for free in return for a honest review.

                                                     Advantages For Deep Cleansing Oil

The Sachet that I received for Deep Cleansing Oil, Came in a light green Sachet but the actual product comes in a plain, transparent bottle that you can dispense using a pump to squirt some on to your hands. In the sachet, there was more than enough to use for one day but I got two days out of the sachet which I thought was great. The Deep Cleansing Oil is used to dissolve makeup, dirt and other impurities that may have gotten onto your skin. I used this product for two days just before I went to bed as that was the time I took my makeup off. DHC'S Deep Cleansing Oil is Number 1 best seller in the Face Makeup Remover Cateogory at Amazon since 26/11/2013. Deep Cleansing Oil Nourishes with antioxidant-rich olive oil and I have to say it really did make my skin feel smooth and soft. The oil comes in three different sizes at three totally different prices which you can purchase from the link below. For a 30ml bottle of Deep Cleansing Oil Mini it is £4.50. For a 70ml bottle it is £11 and for a 200ml bottle it is £21.50 which in my opinion is worth it as it really does work!

                                                                                       www.dhcuk.co.uk/DHC

Disadvantages For Deep Cleansing Oil

The only disadvantage that I found was that when you apply the oil you have to wash it off with water whereas other oils you do not have to, you just let it soak into your skin. If the oil did sink into your skin then I would not have a problem but I would prefer to have the oil soak in rather than washing it off.

                                                                       Advantages For Concentrated Eye Cream

This Sachet also lasted me two days. Even though it was small, it was only used for around your eyes. This product did me wonders! DHC'S Concentrated Eye Cream fights fine-lines-causing dehydration. The Eye Cream helped me in so many ways. I had dark circles and under my eyes they also appeared to look very dry and unappealing. After trying this Eye Cream, it really did diminish the dark circles under my eyes which shocked me! I put it on at night for two days in a row and I was in complete shock the following mornings. This product is packed with humectants, this nourishing cream moisturises the delicate skin around the eyes as it helps to premote elasticity. Ginseng, Horse Chesnut and Olive Oil revitalise. For a 20g pot it is usually £26 but at this moment in time it has been lowered to £20.50 on sale through 31/05/2014 so I suggest if you want to try this product, now is the right time to purchase it. Get going, Click the link below.

Disadvantages For Concentrated Eye Cream:
There are no disadvantages for this product.

                                                                                Advantages For Velvet  Skin Coat

Ok first of all I HAVE to say WOW!! I am really really REALLY impressed with this product. I cut a little snip in the sachet and applied the Velvet Skin Coat to my face using my finger tip and it immediately took the shine away from my face and dissolved into my skin. I told my daughter to feel my face and she touched it and was extremely shocked at how well it dissolved into my skin as you could not feel it or even tell that I had applied any. She rubbed her fingers together and there was not even a single bit was on there but left her fingers also feeling soft. It was not greasy nor sticky which I could pick up my phone and have a conversation with someone without getting grease all over my phone. That is how well it worked. Whether you wear make-up every day or hardly any at all, you NEED this complexion perfector. Like a gossamer veil, this velvety, soft primer controls shine and smooths flaws-lines, pores and blemishes. Make-up lasts longer, blushes wont budge and shadows wont stray. You will love how you look without applying foundation or concealer. It is only £17 for 15g which is definitely worth it 100%. If you wish to purchase this product, please click the link below.

Disadvantages For Velvet Skin Coat:
I can not fault this product in any way.

Advantages For Extra Nighttime Moisture:


DHC  Extra Nighttime Moisture helps your skin recover from the day's stresses with our decadent yet gentle night cream. This antioxidant and collagen-rich hydrator reinforces skin's natural defences while you peacefully slumber, for a refreshed-looking complexion in the morning. Extra nighttime Moisture is a thick, rich cream that does in fact feel a little heavy on your face tightening it up making you face feel more relaxed. Another fantastic product from DHC at a great price.

Disadvantages For Extra Nighttime Moisture:
There are no disadvantages for this product

Safety/Packaging For All Products:
As I only got sachets I am not too sure about how well packed the products come but I can comment on how I received my samples. My samples came in a envelope in a sample bag attached with a staple to the booklet that tells you all about the products I received and many more products they have in store. The brochure which I received along with the samples which can seen in the picture at the top of the page contained not only products but secrets and tips and also an order sheet where you can place your orders if you wish to purchase anything else from DHC. I also received a booklet from DHC which is a guide on how to use each product and the ingredients which each product contains which I personally thought was great.

Overall Ratings:
I rate DHC Cleansing Oil; 7/10 due to that one crucial disadvantage.
I rate DHC Concentrated Eye Cream; 10/10 due to all its advantages and no disadvantages.
I rate DHC Velvet Skin Coat; 10/10 due to all its advantages and no disadvantages and also how well the product worked and how amazed it left me.
I rate DHC Extra Nighttime Moisture; 10/10 due to all its amazing factors.

Charles Worthington Volume & Bounce Range

Charles Worthington Volume & Bounce Range
I received Charles Worthington Volume & Bounce Range for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
First of all, because there is three different products I will be reviewing I will be doing them together but I will make it as easy as possible for you to understand which products I am referring to at the time.If you struggle to understand which product I am talking about and where it is that you need help understanding, please leave a comment and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Charles Worthington Volume & Bounce Shampoo is simple and easy to use with a fresh scent which is emitted when using the shampoo.  The instructions were clear and easy to follow just like any other hair care product. The size of the tube was quite big which I personally thought was great because it allows you to use more over a longer period of time. Charles Worthington Volume & Bounce Conditioner is another fresh smelling product which lingers on throughout the day. I love going outside when I have just used the shampoo and conditioner and the wind blows and you get a whiff of the products. That really makes me smile. The weightless, yet sumptuous, volume-boosting conditioner is enriched with plumping Collagen which I personally thought was great. Last but no means least Charles Worthington Volume & Bounce Thick & Full 3D Boosting Creme has a special blend of powerful volumising polymers, this styling creme enhances hair's overall thickness and texture and works to boost hair to supreme heights, lasting all day. This unique complex is proven to provide 3 times the volume and to combat moisture, keeping frizz at bay in high humidity conditions. The best thing about this product is you don't even need to wash it out. all you have to do is: Apply to clean damp hair so lets say you have a shower or a bath and then use this product afterwards. Dispense 2-3 pumps into your hands and distribute evenly all over your hair, massaging at the roots and spreading through mid-lengths and ends. Blow dry and style your hair as you normally would and voila!

Disadvantages:
After providing such great advantages you would think there is no fault in the products right? Wrong. I really dislike writing about the disadvantages because some people may think I am being picky but whats the point in doing a review if you are not going to be honest about everything? SO...First of all instead of writing about the shampoo and conditioner separately I am going to write the same disadvantage for the two because they both have the same fault. Charles Worthington Volume & Bounce Shampoo and Conditioner's tube really really bugged me when I went to use it. When I had a shower and I knew what shampoo and conditioner I was going to use I really didn't want to have a shower. When I picked up the shampoo and conditioner at first when the tubes were full it was pretty easy to squeeze out but by the time I used about half the tube, I had to squeeze the tube extremely hard to the point my hand was aching and I couldn't squeeze no more. I am not sure if anyone else is having the same problem but seriously it hurt. The second most annoying factor about Charles Worthington Volume & Bounce Shampoo and Conditioner is after all the squeezing the tubes remained all wrinkly,bent and misshaped to the point where they were about to fall over from being all lopsided. On the other hand, Charles Worthington Volume & Bounce Thick & Full 3D Boosting Creme did wonders to my hair and I can not fault this product in any way possible.

Safety/Packaging:
All the products I received were all packed tightly together and there wasn't a problem with the packaging.  In my opinion, the products were safe to use. The font on all products are clear and easy to read and the colours on the tubing blend well together and it is easy to tell which one is conditioner and which one is shampoo as they both are two totally different colours which makes it a lot more easier instead of picking up the shampoo and thinking its conditioner and applying it to your hair and realizing only then that you have just used shampoo again.

Overall Rating:
I rate Charles Worthington Volume & Bounce Shampoo: 6/10 due to its disappointing factors and I don't think I will be buying this product any time soon. If you still wish to purchase this product then click the link below:

I rate Charles Worthington Volume & Bounce Conditioner: 6/10 also for its disappointing factors and I don't think I will be buying this product anytime soon too. If you still wish to purchase this product then click the link below:

Schwarzkopf Color Mask (550 Golden Brown)

 Schwarzkopf Color Mask (550 Golden Brown)
I received Schwarzkopf Color Mask (550 Golden Brown) for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
As many people know, I LOVE to dye my hair and try out new colours and different looks but this time I received a colour that was I would say two shades darker than my natural hair colour. This product came just in time as it was nearly time for me to dye my hair again and luckily i didn't have to wait so long to try it out. Inside the box there was a leaflet with pictures and instructions on how to dye my hair and how long to leave it in for which I found really useful. After trying the product out, I would also say that the results give you a beautiful, permanent, natural looking colour with a healthy, glossy shine and yes No signs of grey!!! If you are going to try this product out...along with all new hair dyes, carry out an allergy test 48 hours before using the hair colourant, even if you have used colouring or lightening products in the past. Last but not least the price for the product is affordable for people with low income at the price of £4 in Boots.

Disadvantages:
To be completely honest, I haven't come across any disadvantages in the product itself but I did once again come across a delivery problem. This has nothing to do with the company itself but everyone wants their products coming to them in good condition even the box! I'm not sure if you can see in the image above but the box is slightly damaged.

Safety/Packaging:
in my opinion the product can and can not be safe....It can be safe if you have done the allergy test 48 hours before hand but on the other hand if it is left around young children or toddlers it can be extremely dangerous so please be very careful where you put this product if purchased.

Overall Rating:
I rate the product overall 10/10 due to the end results and easy to follow instructions.
I definitely recommend this product to anyone looking to buy a hair dye.

New L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Extraordinary Facial Oil and Oil-Cream

New L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Extraordinary Facial Oil and Oil-Cream
I received L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Extraordinary Facial Oil and Oil-Cream for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
I will review each product separately but in the same paragraph so it is easy to understand which product I am talking about at the time. First of all,  L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Extraordinary Facial Oil is a luxurious facial oil made from a blend of eight essential oils. The formula is expertly balanced to give a cashmere-soft touch and a radiant glow for truly beautiful nourished skin. The oils feel lightweight, with a non-greasy texture that help seal in moisture, and help protect the skin from looking dry and dull. When I first Tried the Facial Oil I Immediately saw results. My face glowed and felt extremely soft and this was within five minutes after applying the product but straight away you could see a difference. If you use the product daily your skin will be 'intensely nourished with the moisture for radiant looking, cashmere-soft feeling skin.' When I read the instructions of how many drops to use and how many times a day you are supposed to use it, it did surprise me a little of how much you have to use. Another advantage for women is that when you use creamy foundation, you can put one drop of Extraordinary Facial Oil to the foundation before applying it to your face and it will give you a luminous look. Last but not least, another great feature about the Facial Oil is that you don't need a cotton bud/wool to apply it on your face or even by just simply getting your hands oily and wasting half of it as it seeps into your skin. All you have to do is use the pipette to soak up the oil and then slowly release three drops onto the areas needed.The Extraordinary Oil-Cream is inspired by the Asian 'Massaji Kream' tradition. This moisturiser is infused with essential oils, lavender, rosemary, ideal for daily use and for an indulgent massage treat. The Extraordinary Oil-Cream in my opinion smells absolutely gorgeous! 'The luxurious cream intensely nourishes with moisture, skin looks brighter and the signs of fatigue appear to be reduced.' The Oil-Cream is another great daily product I have been using and I am very happy with the outcome.
Usage For Extraordinary Facial Oil:
3 drops in the morning: For a radiant looking glow. Use on your cheekbones to highlight key areas.
Use as a nightly massage: Alone or under your night cream for an extraordinary luxurious ritual.
Use on dry zones: Leaves skin intensely nourished with moisture.

Usage For Extraordinary Oil-Cream:

• Apply Daily on a thoroughly cleansed face and neck
• In the morning, place a small amount of cream on the tip of your fingers and apply in small movements to reawaken a more luminous complexion.
• In the evening, apply more generously by delicately massaging into the skin.

Disadvantages:

In my opinion, I have not come across any disadvantages for either of the products.

Safety/Packaging:

In my opinion, both products are safe to use on sensitive skin as my skin is pretty sensitive and it had no effect on me. The packaging is great and the colour of the box and the font both blend very well together making it clear and easy to read.

Overall Rating:

I rate L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Extraordinary Facial Oil and Oil-Cream both 10/10 due to effectiveness and end results.

I definitely recommend L'Oreal Paris Age Perfect Extraordinary Facial Oil and Oil-Cream to anyone looking to buy a facial oil or cream any time soon.

Eau De Lacoste Sensuelle

Eau De Lacoste Sensuelle:
I received Eau De Lacoste Sensuelle for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
Another shocking delivery which arrived at my door step!
'Eau De Lacoste Sensuelle is an elegant, sensual fragrance that captures the natural intensity of soft floral notes on a relaxed, warm evening and features notes of blackcurrant, nougatine and rose.' Along with the perfume that I received, I also received five mini samples that I gave to a few of my friends as they really liked the fragrance that it emitted. Before I opened the big one, I used one of the samples on myself to smell it before I gave the rest of the sample to my sister. I genuinely adored the fragrance myself and have completely finished using the product myself. I will definitely be buying this product soon and not just for myself but as presents for other people too.

Disadvantages:
In my opinion, I could not fault this product in any way possible.

Safety/Packaging:
The product came very well packed along with the five mini samples. The font on the box of the product was clear and easy to read and the colours blend well together.

Overall Rating:
I rate Eau De Lacoste Sensuelle 10/10 due to the fragrance and the appearance of the bottle. I also recommend this product to anyone who is looking to buy a perfume any time soon. If you wish to buy the above product, please click on the link below:

Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi

Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi
I received Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Electronic Foot File for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
I had absolutely no idea that I was going to receive this product, so when it arrived it was a mystery to what was inside. As I tried to guess what was inside my parcel, I seriously had no idea which really bugged me. I tore open the box using nothing but my bare hands and to what was inside really shocked me. Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi has to be one of the best products I have ever received due to its power and end results. I wish I had taken a picture before and after of my feet but because I was too excited I got started straight away! I ripped open the plastic packaging which was on the product to protect it and yes I still used my hands not going into the kitchen to get a knife or scissors to help speed up the process which took about five long minutes to get the product out. Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi got rid of my hard skin that I have tried to exfoliate over the years. It came with the following:

• 1 x Electronic Foot File
• 1 x Roller Head
• 4 x AA Batteries
• 1 x Cover

It really is so simply to use. All you have to do is gently rotate the file over hard skin and see the dead skin disappear. You'll feel results immediately afterwards as your feet will be left smooth and soft.

Disadvantages:

The only disadvantage I came across was that when you press down a little bit harder, the machine slows down or stops as if the batteries are finished. I suggest they upgrade to a stronger motor to help get rid of extremely tough skin.

Safety/Packaging:

Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi came very well packed, the product was tightly sealed and no faults or marks whatsoever. In my opinion, the product is safe to use on tough skin.

Overall Rating:

I rate Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi 9/10 due to effectiveness but it lost one point due to weak motor.

Garnier Miracle Skin Cream

Garnier Miracle Skin Cream

I received Garnier Miracle Skin Cream for free in return for a review.

Advantages:

'The unique anti-aging formula with SPF 20 helps reduce the appearance of signs of ageing such as wrinkles, fine lines and dark spots.' When I first received this product, I was extremely excited to try it as I am a great fan of Garnier products. I immediately rushed to my bedroom to apply the Miracle Skin Cream and I have to say what a transformation! When I put a tiny blob on the tip of my index finger and rubbed it onto my face, it turned to a type of foundation cream which got rid of my fine lines and made my face look younger due to the foundation like substance. My husband not knowing the Miracle Skin Cream had done this, he picked up the cream of the side and applied it to his face and came down with a nice sun-kissed glow (LOL!) In my opinion, the best thing about this product is that the texture is not thick and non-greasy. Garnier Miracle Skin Cream is fast absorbing and a small quantity goes a very long way. You do not have to you tons of the cream to cover the whole of your face, you just need a little bit to cover your whole entire face.

Disadvantages:

In my opinion, I could not find any disadvantages for this product.

Safety/Packaging:

When I received my product in the post, it came in a medium sized padded envelope which made me think it was in good condition. When I opened the parcel, the product inside was fine but the box it came in was damaged like someone had stood on it. First impressions definitely do count and i have to say i was NOT impressed. This had nothing to do with the company but it was the postman's fault. (Proof in the images below.)

Overall Rating:I rate the above product 9/10 due to effectiveness but minus one point for the delivery.

If you wish to purchase the product the link below will take you directly to the product.

La Roche-Posay Laboratoire Dermatologique

La Roche-Posay Laboratorie Dermatologique Effaclar Duo blemish-prone skin cream
I received this product for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
La Roche-Posay Laboratorie Dermatologique Effaclar Duo blemish-prone skin cream introduces its latest innovation to target the key signs of oily, blemish-prone skin, EFFACLAR DUO [+] which is clinically proven to do so. When I received this product it came in a long thin tube with a twistable lid which you can take off. The best thing about this product is that you do not have to use much depending on where you use it. I used it twice a day, morning and night on my face and I only had to use a pea sized amount and I used this every other day and it made a huge improvement to my skin which I was really happy about. I have been using this product for about three weeks now every day and I still have a fair amount left. My face feels ever so smooth and soft as I have been told by a number of people since I have started wearing it and I also can tell the difference too! I had blemishes on my face before I started using this product and when I applied the product, you could hardly tell I had any! Another great thing about it is, it is specifically developed for daily use, even on sensitive skin!  It is a hydrating, non-sticky, gel-cream texture; suitable for acne-prone skin.

Disadvantages:
I have only came across two disadvantages and only one is to do with the product so I will start with the product first and move on to the next problem in the paragraph below. In my opinion the wording on the tube because it is a thin tube, I found it really hard to read the font as it was a little bit small for me.

Safety/packaging:
The second thing I would like to say I was disappointed about was the delivery. When I received my parcel there was a hole in the bottom of it and the cream could have easily slipped out as I only put my hand in the hole to take it out without making the hole any bigger or ripping the bag anymore. Although this had nothing to do with the product, it was to do with the company who delivered it to me and I even have the pictures of the hole in case I wanted to complain but I never got round to it and it has been a while since I received this product. Therefore there is no point. The safety of this product is indeed safe and suitable for people with sensitive skin.

Overall Rating:
I rate this product 9/10 due to me not being able to read the font properly and the delivery.

L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Shampoo, Conditioner & Booster

L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Shampoo, Conditioner & Booster
I received these products for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
Im going to split the advantages up for each product as there are a few different advantages for each product I would like to say. First of all I will speak about the advantages for L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Shampoo. My mother and I use the Shampoo and Conditioner every other day. My hair is generally quite thick anyway but is has no volume whatsoever! L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Shampoo is specially developed with Filloxane to increase your hair's diameter and provide deep cleansing while giving you healthy and thick looking hair. As my hair is already thick I cant really tell whether it has gone any thicker but I can say it definitely shines more and looks more healthier. My mother on the other hand tried the shampoo too and her hair is extremely thin due to all the tablets she is on. She used all the products for about two weeks in a row and everyone that has seen her has actually noticed a difference in texture and thickness which we all thought was incredible. The shampoo smells fruity and feels really creamy when you rub your hands together before applying to your hair.

 L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Conditioner is an ultra-light formula containing Filloxane too and it nourishes and thickens hair without weighing it down. After I used the shampoo, I applied the conditioner to the ends of my hair. After two minutes of letting the conditioner soak into my hair, I rinsed it out. It was so simple and easy to wash out. It did take a little longer than any other conditioner usually does but that just goes to show how well its soaked into my hair. The conditioner smelled amazing too and was very soft and took all the knots out of my hair.

 L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Booster is an intensive formula with the highest concentration of Filloxane 5%, to deliver an instant visible thickening effect. All you have to do is use the same amount of L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Booster that you would use for conditioner and apply all over your hair from root to tip without rinsing. The Thickening Booster was the product that mainly helped my hair feel fuller and give me more volume. My mum on the other hand it seemed to have done the job greatly.

Disadvantages:
The only disadvantage I could find was for the L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Conditioner. The reason I do not apply the conditioner to the top of my hair is because it makes my hair super greasy and I cant stand it. This happens with every conditioner I use so its not anyone's fault but my own.

Safety/Packaging:
All products are well packed. The colour and font for each of the products are clear and easy to read with no difficulty whatsoever. The colours are well merged together. The products are safe too.

Overall Rating:
I rate each of the following products:
L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Shampoo: 9/10
L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Conditioner: 7/10
L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Thickening Booster: 10/10

FitLips Lip Balm

Fitlips Lip Balm
I received these products (pictured Left) free in return for a review.

Advantages:
The first thing I would like to point out is that Fitlips Lip balm's are 100% Natural and does not contain petroleum or parabens. The Lip balms in both tins and tubes contain natural SPF via the jojoba, grape seed and hemp seed oils. The second thing I would also like to point out is that the tins can be reused for things such as tablet containers or even just too keep loose bits of jewelry in. If you do not wish to keep the containers, then they can be recycled.
The tubes are hand-made in California and are so simple and easy to use. Just pop of the lid and push up from the bottom of the tube. Never seen anything so simple and easy to use. The tubes are also biodegradable and recyclable. The scrub tastes a bit like sugar and it just dissolves eventually on your lips if you keep rubbing it on. The Lip balm tube that i had actually tasted a bit like passion fruit which was great. All the products are Non-sticky and Non-goopy which is great as nobody wants stick fingers! I have almost finished all the products now and they are definitely worth a try!

Disadvantages:
Hmm... I cant say there really is a disadvantage with any of the products as all of them have their own qualities.

Safety/Packaging:
All the products come safely packed and the coloring and font on the product tins and tubes are clear and easy to read. The products are safe as they are 100% natural and biodegradable. Definitely safe for the environment as all products can be recycled or re-used.

Overall Rating:
I rate all products 10/10 due to great quality, safe for environment & 100% natural! I recommend all these products to anyone who is suffering with dry or chapped lips.

Schwarzkopf and Claudia Schiffer; essence UNTÎME Omega Repair Range

Schwarzkopf and Claudia Schiffer; essence UNTÎME Omega Repair Range
I received Schwarzkopf and Claudia Schiffer; essence UNTÎME Omega Repair Range which included: Omega Repair Shampoo, Conditioner and Beauty Balm for free in return for a review.

Advantages:
When I applied the shampoo to my hair for the first time, I instantly felt the shampoo soaking through my hair and working it's wonders. While my hair was wet still, you could tell how well it had worked and how clean and soft my hair was going to be. I knew if the shampoo would work wonders then the conditioner would do too! After applying the conditioner to my hair and washing it off, my hair was then completely knot free and really soft. By the time I got out the shower, done a few things and got dressed, my hair was still a little bit damp when I added the Omega Repair Beauty Balm to my hair. The beauty balm has seven benefits in one formula which will leave your hair looking smooth, shiny and healthy which I thought was fantastic! Who needs to buy seven different products when you can just buy the one? The best part about this product is you can apply to damp or dry hair so no matter where you are or what your doing, this product is fantastic!

Disadvantages:
The only disadvantage I found was in the Omega Repair Beauty Balm. When I applied it to my hair when it was completely dry, it made my hair look a bit oily and greasy. This could have been my own fault as I may have applied a bit too much to my hair.

Safety/packaging:
All three products came safely packed together in a medium sized box. These products are safe but are not to be left around children just like most hair care products.

Overall Rating:
I rate each of the products the following:
Omega Repair Shampoo: 10/10 due to great results.
Omega Repair Conditioner: 10/10 due to great results also.
Omega Repair Beauty Balm: 6/10 due to good results but because it made my hair look greasy when it was applied when dry.

Oral B Triumph 5000 Limited Edition Black Electric Toothbrush

 Oral-B Triumph 5000 Electric Toothbrush

I received this product for free in return for a review.

Advantages:

When I first received this product, I could not WAIT to try it. I had to charge it for 24 hours before I used it because it was completely flat but after the 24 hours of being on charge, you can use it straight away and it will stay fully charged for 9 hours 2 minutes three times a day  which I thought was incredible!  Oral B Triumph 5000 Limited Edition Black Electric Toothbrush comes with three different heads and they all do totally different things. The  Oral B Triumph 5000 Limited Edition Black Electric Toothbrush comes with a little clock which you can stick to the wall once you have set it up so when you click the button on the toothbrush to turn it on, it automatically starts a timer up to two minutes and every 30/45 seconds (Depending on what setting you have on), your toothbrush stops to tell you to move on to the next quadrant of your mouth. There are six different settings that show up on the clock when you press the button underneath the on/off button. 

On the clock there is a smiley face which turns sad when you brush to hard and at the end of brushing it appears to give you a star rating on how well you have brushed! This toothbrush definitely makes a difference because after using the toothbrush for a week, I went to use my old one while the electric one was on charge and my old one was a manual one and it felt like it was not doing nothing to my teeth because the  Oral B Triumph 5000 Limited Edition Black Electric Toothbrush made such a difference. The manual is really clear and super easy to follow. Make sure you read it because it gives you more information on how to use the toothbrush properly

Disadvantages:

The ONLY disadvantages I could say is that if you don't read the manual on how to set up the clock then it will be a great difficulty. The only other disadvantage about this product is that the clock requires batteries which you have to buy yourself after using the first two batteries they provide you.

Safety/Packaging:

This product is well packed  and comes in their own compartment in the box. The product is very save and also comes with a guarantee.

Overall Rating:

I rate this product 10/10 due to great results almost instantly.
I definitely recommend this product to anyone and everyone!

Olay Regenerist 3 Point Cleansing System

Olay Regenerist 3 Point Cleansing System

I received this product for free in return for a review.

Advantages:

When I received this product in the post, I could not wait to open it as I had no idea what it was going to be. 'Olay Regenerist 3 Point Cleansing System rotates to cleanse, gently exfoliate and refresh your skin: effectively preparing the skin for your anti-ageing routine.' I have to say this product is great for relaxing when feeling stressed as the bristles are not harsh on your face and it kind of feels as if it is massaging your face at the same time and making your skin feel great! I have to say, I'm not to sure if this product makes my skin look younger but it definitely feels refreshed and a lot cleaner. My face also glows more whereas before it was really dull and had no shine whatsoever. The handle for the machine is also shaped so it is easier to hold and use. 

The Results:

1. Skin is instantly cleaner and refreshed - 4x better than manual cleansing
2. Prepares skin for your anti-ageing routine: up to 30% increase in anti-ageing ingredient penetration.
3. As effective as a £180 cleansing Device.

How it does it:

• It rotates to cleanse, gently exfoliate and freshen your skin.
• The device loosens, lifts and swirls dirt away, gently exfoliating the skin and increasing the absorption of your moisturiser's anti-aging ingredients.
• The brush head revolves 350 times per minute, reaching the skin's contours where fingers cannot reach.
• Designed to respect the skin's moisturise barrier, while providing superior cleansing and exfoliation.
• Shaped to suit the contours of your face.
• 2 speed rotating system, suitable for use in the shower.

Disadvantages:
The only thing I can say is, in my opinion, it doesn't seem to make my skin feel or look younger. This could be because I do not use the product every day.

Safety/Packaging:
The product is well packed and comes organized nicely. Each part of the machine has its own little area in the box which I thought was a great idea. The product is safe to be left around toddlers and children.

Overall Rating:
I rate this product overall...8/10 because in my opinion it does not leave my skin looking younger.

Sanex Dermo Repair Shower Cream

Sanex Dermo Repair Shower Cream
I received two Sanex Dermo Repair Shower Creams for free in return for a review.

Advantages: 
When I first received this product, I was so happy and excited to receive them that I did not see that it was shower cream and thought it was moisturising cream. After about five minutes I read the label again and realised it was shower cream. I could not stop laughing. After washing my face and leaving it for the night, I decided to try the shower cream the very next morning. When I got out of the shower, I couldnt believe how soft my face went. I also have very sensitive skin so I was extremely pleased at how well it worked and it did not irritate my skin in any way.  It smells of a Shampoo I have used in the past which is great because it smelt gorgeous! 'Sanex Dermo Repair Shower Cream helps to repair this damage by restoring your skin's natural pH and moisturisation levels, which are essential for healthy, silky-smooth skin.' Sanex Dermo Repair Shower Gel lasts for quite some time depending on how often you use it. This product is also very cheap and can be brought all year round.

Disadvantages:
In my opinion, I think this product can not be faulted in anyway.

Safety/Packaging:
The product is well packed and easy to use. It has a flip up lid which it can easily pour out from. The colours on the container work well together. The bottles also feel soft and are of great quality. Not suitable to be left around toddlers and young children.

Overall Rating:
I rate this product overall 10/10 for making my skin feel soft every time and for the amazing smell it also gives off. If you suffer from dry or sensitive skin, then this product is definitely the right one for you!

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:
