Transformulas is a brand that promises beauty without surgery by creating groundbreaking formulas that are backed up with scientific, proven evidence. LipVolume is one of these products, that promises to increase lip moisture and volume, therefore improving the contour of the lips and giving a better definition to the lip line. At £29.95 it isn’t cheap, but I’ve been trying it out to see what I thought.

Transformulas lipvolume
The lip treatment comes in a sleek, silver tube that immediately looks great, but then it comes down to the product in side. The lip wand is rounded and easy to use, the gloss just glides onto the lip area. Initially there is a slight tingle with a vaguely minty aroma, due to the Menthol in the product giving it a cool feel. I found the feeling really pleasant and not at all strong, and could immediately feel a plumping within my lips. The treatment is non sticky, leaves my lips shiny, highly hydrated and they feel soft and smooth.

Transformulas lipvolume 2 Packed full of key ingredients including a natural tripeptide Gly-His-Lys along with Macadamia nut oil, provitamin B5, Vitamin E, Soybean Oil and Menthol, this lip treatment really works and feels great.

I’ve loved using the Transformulas LipVolume, it has become my handbag staple and I am using it several times a day. It really makes you feel good when you are wearing it as you know you have a glossy sheen on and your lips also feel full and luscious. Due to it’s excellent hydration properties it also means that your lips won’t dry out, instead they’ll feel highly moisturised and there is no need for any kind of extra balm, which is normally something I would have to use on my dry lips. This lip treatment has it all packed into one silver little tube – I love it and would happily use it again and again!

All reviews are my own and my family’s opinions and we received the product in order to write an honest review.

In a bid to lose weight as well as make my day to day diet a lot healthier, I’m always keen to try foods with added benefits, whether it’s added vitamins or a lower calorie version of something, then I’m keen to try as it makes my life easier to ensure I eat a balanced diet as well as not indulging in too much fatty food!

I tried New Jordan’s Lighter Granola. Available in two flavours, I tried the Raspberry and Apple. It also comes in Strawberry and Blueberry. With 30% less fat that normal granola varieties, no added salt and high in fibre, it sounds like the ideal cereal.So what did it taste like? Well it tastes just as crunchy as normal Jordan’s granola and had lots of raspberry and apple pieces. I really enjoyed it with natural yoghurt and being quite calorie conscious at the moment I know this is a healthier choice to have at breakfast time. My daughter Miss M asked to try some and had a bowlful with milk. Her words were “Mmmm, I love granola, it’s delicious!”

I’m not a black tea drinker but have always been fond of green tea, particularly one with added citrus flavours, so was keen to try the new Tetley Super Green Tea with Lime. It has added vitamin B6 to boost your mood, helping to reduce tiredness and fatigue. I absolutely loved drinking these and found them the perfect pick me up in the afternoons. They distracted me from eating and I can genuinely say I did feel more alert afterwards. I have managed to drink the entire box of 20 teabags rather quickly and am keen to purchase more although have to say I’m struggling to find them having checked out three of the major supermarkets. There are other variants in the Super Green Tea range such as Berry Burst and Tropical etc which I have seen available but not the Lime option.

V8 Vegetable Juice is 100% vegetables, containing tomatoes, celery, carrot, beetroot, parsley, lettuce, watercress and spinach. With a 150ml glass containing 1 of your 5 a day and only 26 calories, what a simple way to boost your vegetable intake. The glass of V8 tastes rich, thick, smooth and mainly like a tomato juice. The other vegetables don’t really come through in the taste which I guess is down to personal taste as to whether you would like to taste them or prefer a plain tomato juice with added benefits. All in all, a simple way of sneaking an extra portion of your 5 a day into your diet!
