Skinny Sprinkles

I've been on a mission for about 2 years to lose weight, get fit and try to tone up my belly since having kids. I've not done too bad, I've still got along way to go but I can notice a difference now. Along the way I have used many different methods (slim shake, fat burners etc) and altho they all have all worked, I still have that hungry feeling I between meals which is the bit I find most difficult to deal with.

So when I heard of a product called Skinny Sprinkles I was obviously intrigued. 

After speaking to the lovely people at Skinny Sprinkles and telling them about my blog they very kindly sent me some to try.

What is Skinny Sprinkles?

Skinny Sprinkles is an instant strawberry drink mix specially formulated to aid weight reduction by reducing snacking and over eating.

How it works.

The easy way to explain it is that you drink the mixture that when it reaches your stomach it starts to swell a bit like a jelly mix making you feel fuller.

The science is a lot more cleaver, the ingredient called Glucomannan (Konjac) swells once it hits the water in your tummy and then adsorbes up to 200 times it's weight to form a gel like substance giving your the feeling of being full.

Benefits.

* Reduces body weight

* Reduces hunger pangs

* Feel fuller for longer 

* Prebiotic action 

* Gluten free, high in fibre

And Lots more...

Directions

Mix sprinkles with 200ml of cold water rapidly for 30 seconds, then slowly for 1 minute. Drink within next few minutes.

Take 1 serving 3 times a day.

I'm my opinion it tastes like a homemade strawberry smoothie. (Delicious) 

My Thoughts

Firstly I have got to say I'm very impressed with how this little drink is so effective. My main time of snacking and feeling hunger pangs is in the evening as I'm usually kept busy during the day, so I only used 1 or 2 a day to stop the feeling of being hungry whilst watching telly.

Honestly I didn't expect one little drink could actually keep the need for snaking away but it's specially designed but it does just that.

I am now left wanting more as I feel this is a great aid along side other methods of weight loss or weight management.

I would recomend to anyone on a weight loss program but still finding it hard to curb the cravings as this does just that and at only 19 calories per serving its a gem.

Please go to their website for a lot more information, dietary guidelines and to purchase.

My Chelle - Supreme Polypeptide Cream

I I was given the chance to sample the My Chelle face & neck cream.

Being the wrong side of 25 I've started to think more about my skin and how to keep it looking as youthful as I can so when I received this product and read the information about it, I was very excited to try it.

The Product

Description (printed on box)

Nutrient-rich recontouring cream lifts and retexturizes skin for a more refined youthful appearance. Matrixyl synthe'6 reduces wrinkle volume by 21% and wrinkle depth by 19% in 8 weeks. Proteasyl TP Pea Peptide is clinically proven to improve skin's elasticity, increasing overall firmness by 35% in just 6 weeks. Rice Peptides improve skin smoothness while Syn-Coll peptide triggers skin's own reparative functions to accelerate collagen production.

This product is also;

Cruelty-free 

Vegetarian friendly 

Gluten- free

And always free of harmful ingredients such as parabens, phthalates, ureas, petroleum-based chemicals and artificial colours. 

My Review

I have been using this product for about 2 weeks but I have already noticed that my skin feels smoother, a lot more hydrated and even starting to show a natural glow.

I love to apply face cream like a treatment at the spa, I apply a small amount to face/neck but I don't rub in completely as I like to lay & relax for a few minutes before massaging the remaining cream in (personal preference). The scent of this cream is very clean and crisp, the texture is a silky but thick cream yet once applied to skin feels lights and soft. (Only need a small amount as covers lovely) 

I will continue to use this cream, as I'm loving the glow it's given my skin already and hopefully I'll notice more improvements over coming weeks.

This is ideal for anyone looking to improve the appearance of their skin but in a very easy and friendly way.

So if you like the sound of this, then take a look at their website & twitter page for a whole range of products, useful information and tips to beautiful healthier looking skin.

My Letter From Santa

I was delighted to be asked by this company to review their premium letters from Santa.

Growing up these made my Christmas so magical, waking up to my own letter through the door, ripping it open to find a letter addressed to me from none other than Mr Claus himself. 

The Website (ordering process)

Placing the order was very straight forward, first choose the type of letter then fill in the questionnaire which have lots of questions about the named child (siblings, recent events, presents), some you type and some are drop down boxes (all marked very clearly).

You then click to next section where you fill in the delivery details (once again very simple, box inputs).

Once information is input just click to payment page & confirm.

The Delivery

When this letter arrived it was in plain envelope so very discreet, inside was a red envelope with childs name printed on the front and sealed with wax effect stamp, which makes it look very authentic.

The Letter

Inside the envelope is a very well presented (with an eye for detail) letter addressed to named child, it uses all the information you gave during ordering and forms a beautifully designed letter that any child (or Adult) would believe is actually from Santa. The paper itself is good thick quality (the sort you would expect from Mr Claus) plus it also contains a certificate for being on the nice list & a colour-me-in "Santa Stop Here" sign. 

Overall

Personally I think this is a top class letter from Santa & any child would be overly joyed at Christmas to receive one (I know mine would), I personally think they keep the magic of Christmas alive (at least for another year) before our babies grow up and stop believing.

This was a premium letter and for the price of just £5.69 + free delivery it's well worth it.

Please take a look for yourself at;

You won't be disappointed, I know my kids won't be this Christmas.

Playboy Makeup #PlayboyPinUpChallenge

I recently received some Playboy makeup to do their #PlayboyPinUpChallenge 

I thought I'd go all out with the old fashion pin up style, with I think still gorgeous today.

I did use other makeup products 1st to create a base (foundation, blusher & eyeliner)

The Mascara

Colour - Black

Called Sleek & it's exactly that, it gives a elegant light look (not to clumpy which I do like) but perfect for everyday mascara,

Although I just applied 2 layers and was totally a different look (just my own preference).

The Lipstick

Colour - Centerfold Pink

This is a very brightly baby pink colour which I also don't usually use as I'm more a bright bold red type of girl but I might just be converted as this actually stays the same colour when applied to lips. The texture is very soft and creamy which made application easy. 

The Nail Polish

Colour - Hawalian Babe

Now this is my type of nail polish, bright red and very glitz. Unfortunately I don't have my nail done so didn't get the same effect but will be using next week once nails are done (so come back for added pics) 

Overall

To be honest I never heard of Playboy branded cosmetics so was delighted to give them a try and they haven't disappointed. Although the mascara was to elegant for me with just one coat this wouldn't stop me buying again, as I love the effect after I applied two coats. The lipstick I wouldn't of ever dreamed of buying at shade of pink and once again it's changed my mind as it looks stunning on. Finally the nail polish is def one I will wear regularly as it's bright, it's red and it's very Glam.

I've really enjoyed this challenged and look forward to doing more in the future. 

The Final Look

Aloe Glorious (Forever Living)

When the lovely lady at http://www.aloeglorious.flp.com ask me to review some more products obviously I jumped at the chance.

After my last post about the Forever Products was such a hit I was so excited to try some new makeup products.

Items;

Delicious Lipstick - Amethyst £16.64

Perfect Pair Eyeshadow - Ocean £18.90

Purple might be a bit shocking to some people but it's making a comeback & with celebrities daring to go bold why shouldn't we? 

    

I honestly don't mind bold/bright colours so this was no challenge for me and I got straight to it trying new styles and looks, some great some not so great lol.

What I found

1) The lipstick it's so smooth and creamy it just glides on with ease.

2) The colour lasts on both the eyeshadow & the lipstick (although I use more as I don't blot lips as I like the glossy look) 

3) The powder of the eyeshadow is also very light so you can build it up as much or as little as you like. 

I really like this lipstick & will now invest in the red colour and other products, I have never been disappointed with any product from this company so would definitely advise people to try for themselves :o)

I'm going off to do some more experimenting with styles ;o)

OOTD by Miss Luxe

Omg, can't believe I wrote this post back in May and forgot to press publish, I love this dress so much and am really gutted I didn't share with everyone sooner...

My OOTD is this stunning Audrey Hepburn Style dress from 

http://www.missluxe.co.uk

I was so lucky to be picked as the winner of one of their amazing competitions on their twitter page @missluxe 

This dress is very comfortable to wear as well as looking absolutely stunning.

It's a good quality stretchy material that keeps it's shape unlike some I've worn that start to bag after an hour or so.

I would like to thank Miss Luxe for this beautiful dress and I look forward wearing many more items from their site as I know I can purchase with confidence.

Love
