Win a SENSSE Silicone Facial Cleansing Brush worth £90

Posted on June 21, 2017 by Fiona Martin

SENSSE Silicone Facial Cleansing Brush and Exfoliator is a rechargeable cleansing and anti ageing device that looks rather stunning in its pretty pink shade and soft silicone shell so I was excited to give it a try. Once charged is will last for up to 180 times based on a one minute usage which is pretty good going.

Inside the box you get the device, USB charging cable and what I have to say must be one of the cutest storage bags that I’ve ever seen come with a device like this. With its rose pink sequins, copper coloured zip and fluffy pom-pom, it’s the perfect place to keep your SENSSE product clean and dry when not in use.

Now onto the product itself, this has been a revelation in the cleansing brush market for me. Not only does it look small and sleek, the smooth silicone outer is silky soft and a joy to hold, fitting perfectly into your hand. The main side features a silicone cleansing brush featuring three different types of textures. Simply add a few drops of your own cleansing lotion and move in circular motions across your face ensuring your skin is dampened beforehand. When you switch it on it delivers thousands of pulsations per minute to gently remove dirt oil, makeup residue, and dry dead skin leaving your face feeling clean and rejuvenated.

The back of the SENSSE brush can be used to massage the face after moisturising especially around wrinkles and fine lines.

I found the device exceptionally user-friendly, it’s desirable to look at, it works efficiently being fully waterproof up to 1 metre, it’s a joy to hold fitting so easily and comfortably in your hand and above all gives a really good and pleasurable cleanse and massage to the face.

Some key features include:

Built-in Timer – The pulsation pauses every 15 seconds to remind you to move onto a new area.
Six different intensity levels to suit all skin types.
Long Battery Life – Get 180 uses per charge from internal battery that’s easily charged with included USB cable.
Auto Shut-Off – The device will switch off after 3 minutes of inactivity to save your battery.
Waterproof – You can use in the bath or shower without damaging the device.

I’ve really enjoyed using this product for a number of reasons including its ease to hold, the feel on your face is ultra soft and effective. It’s so much gentler than other facial brushes yet just as effective. The whole unit is ultra compact and comes with multiple speeds, more than other brushes I’ve tried and looks great sat out on your bathroom shelf. It’s pretty, small and leaves your skin feeling clean, fresh and supple. The massaging tool really does uplift your facial skin pushing the moisturiser deeply in to the pores to really boost healthy, supple and youthful looking skin.

Don’t just take my word for it, why not try one for yourself!

Posted on May 30, 2017 by Fiona Martin

Flower Fairies Candytuft Teapot from by Enesco available from Gift Giving… All wrapped up is a beautiful ceramic teapot, perfect for every afternoon tea event. With it’s Flower Fairy design and pastel pink shade, it really does give off an elegant feel and would look fabulous either on a dresser or on a table for tea when friends or family pop around.

The teapot comes in a pretty and sturdy cardboard box with a handle that actually makes it an attractive package, perfect for gifting to someone. Standing at 16.5cm tall the teapot is a really good size, perfect for lots of tea over an afternoon of chatter!

The design is sturdy but has a delicate feel with the Flower Fairies decor originally drawn by Cicely Mary Barker and first published in 1923. They’ve now been given a contemporary update with the coloured background and been applied to a range of gifts to include jugs, cups, tote bags and scarfs.

The teapot is easy to hold and has a simple outline that’s easy to clean and use. The lid is really pretty with the floral decor echoing the print around the sides. I’m really pleased with this teapot and it’ll be displayed alongside some cake stands and other ornamental but useful pieces that I have and bring out for various occasions throughout the year.

If you are looking for a teapot that’s pretty, pink and a really good size then be sure to check this Flower Fairies one out!

Lee Stafford CoCo LoCo Blow & Go Nuts 2400W Dryer

Posted on May 13, 2017 by Fiona Martin

Lee Stafford CoCo LoCo Blow & Go Nuts 2400W Dryer is a sleek designed, lightweight hairdryer in a pretty pale pink and rose gold casing. Featuring 3 heat settings and 2 speeds this is perfect for everyday use at home, giving salon quality results. Coming with a sleek concentrator nozzle and ample length of cord I was keen to give this a try in my morning routine.

The first thing I loved about this hair dryer, other than it’s pretty colour of course, is how lightweight it is. This makes drying so much easier and effortless when you haven’t got that weight on your arm. The 2400W also helps dry your hair really fast which is exactly what I need in the morning before going to work. Not only did it give a super quick dry but left my hair feeling really soft with a freshly blow dried look. It comes with 3 heat settings including a cold shot and 2 speeds so you can really adjust it to suit your needs.

The added bonus with the Lee Stafford CoCo LoCo Blow & Go Nuts Dryer is that the grille is infused with coconut oil to heal your hair with essential oils and nourishing proteins. This helps smooth your hair and add shine along with preventing damage from the heat. I could smell this vaguely but more noticeably is the softness of my hair once dried which did feel better than other dryers I’ve used.

Overall I really enjoyed using this hair dryer and is perfect for drying my long hair quickly and efficiently whilst maintaining the hair’s condition. I only wash my hair 2-3 times a week depending on time available but this fits perfectly into my hair care routine and will become a regular tool that I’ll continue using.

Lee Stafford No Strings Attached Cordless Straightener

Posted on March 26, 2017 by Fiona Martin

Lee Stafford No Strings Attached Cordless Straightener has revolutioned my hair routine in the mornings. I love being cord free and moving around the room, looking in whatever mirror I please to do my hair. The other big bonus is the stand to put these in, no more worrying about leaving hot irons on the floor or side where someone might knock them when they are hot or trip over the cord.

What do you get in the box?

Well I was very impressed with the contents. Along with the straighteners was a heat mat and zip up bag for storage.

The cordless straighteners themselves are just lovely, a bold bright pink and easy to hold. They have a stand which allows them to sit upright in and a cord which can either go directly into the straighteners as per normal ones, or into the base resulting in the straighteners being cordless when you use them.

So what are they like to use?

I love them! They are now my go to straightener every morning that I wish to straighten my hair. I love the way they stand upright in the holder. They reach a good heat which should last up to 15 mins before needing to put them back in the holder to heat up again. I find that plenty of time although sometimes I just pop them back in for a few minutes while I comb my hair and then just go over a few bits that need it.

The Lee Stafford No Strings Attached Cordless Straightener to use, I’d recommend them to anyone. There’s no chance of them rolling about on the floor, you can walk around as you are using them rather than being tied to the corner of the bedroom and they give me the results that I want with my hair. Plus the fact that they look good standing in the corner of my dressing table. An all round winner for me!

Lee Stafford Lighten Up Mirror

Posted on March 2, 2017 by Fiona Martin

The Lighten Up Mirror from Lee Stafford Electricals is perfect for everyday use either for doing your make up or hair. I do have a great dressing table mirror but in the early mornings when I don’t want to disturb anyone this is great for taking into the bathroom or elsewhere and use to get ready whether it’s my hair or make up. With it’s soft glow illumination and 3x magnification on one side the Lee Stafford mirror just what you need for close ups.

The mirror takes 3AA batteries in the base and the light is operated with a simple on/off switch at the front. The mirror swivels 360° very easily with one side showing a normal size reflection and the other being three times magnified. I’ve found this great getting ready in the morning as I can move it around and it has helped as I only have a dim centre light in my bathroom so this is great for applying make up. I can also take it to wherever my hair straightners are plugged in and use it as I do my hair.

The light is a soft glow and although useful isn’t as bright as I expected. It does increase visibility and add light to your face but in a soft way, so okay for general use but you’d probably need something brighter for fine detail.

Overall the hot pink Lee Stafford mirror looks great, is relatively lightweight and great for everyday use. A definite addition to my mornings where I can escape with it anywhere around the house to get ready without disturbing the family or trying to peer in a wall mirror!

Elektra Inline Skates – Review

Posted on September 15, 2013 by Fiona Martin

Inline skating was something I remember doing many years ago, and I knew when Miss M received some Elektra Inline Skates from Ozbozz, she’d be thrilled, partly because she’s always wanted to try skating but also because she loves being outdoors.

The look on 5yr old Miss M’s face said it all when she saw these inline skates, they were pink – her favourite colour, they were big grown up inline skates and she couldn’t wait to try them on and skate across the front room.

What I liked about the Elektra Inline Skates is that they are adjustable and can be made to fit shoe sizes between 13 and 3. This is fantastic with Miss M just being a 13 means she will have plenty of use out of them and they’ll hopefully last a few years. By simply sliding the outer casing forward and back you can change the size, the inner lining also can be adapted according to size with velcro.

These are well designed solid skates that easily glide across the ground. The next day we tried them at the local park and I was surprised at how quickly Miss M found her feet and was gliding across the ground, with the odd stumble of course, but having little fear at her age she just went for it and did very well. A few more tries and she’ll be a fabulous little skater.

We have had so much fun with these inline skates – Miss M thinks they are brilliant and wants to go to the park with them at any given opportunity. I think they will get a lot of use over the next few years and definitely recommend them.
