<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi All! I picked up all these Revlon Parfumerie polishes in my local Pound World, they are still retailing for £6.49 each at <a href="http://www.boots.com/en/Revlon-Parfumerie%E2%84%A2-Scented-Nail-Enamel_1450732/">Boots</a>!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I got one of every colour that they had but I know some of the Pound World stores have even more of a variety so it's worth going to have a look!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One coat of the above polishes (L-R)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Italian Leather</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Balsam Fir</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They all do smell quite strongly once they are dry. My favourites are China Flower, African Tea Rose and Wild Violets. They all smell really floral and the colours are gorgeous.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm not so keen on Balsam Fir as it smells like toilet cleaner! The colour is lovely though.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was most disappointed with Italian Leather, I love the colour but it doesn't smell at all like leather.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Have you picked any of these up in your local Pound World? I will be popping in again to see if they have any more in stock!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Dream Box is a limited edition box of 2,000 which sold out in less than 24 hours. It cost £19.95 inc postage which was an absolute bargain as the contents are worth over £100!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The box was absolutely jam packed full! The booklet that comes with it is full of information about the products and discount codes for the brands featured in the box.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A Beautiful World is a UK website that specialises in organic and natural beauty products. At the beginning of May they released a limited edition Spring/Summer beauty box priced at £20.00. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Delivery is free with orders over £25.00 so I also bought a konjac sponge which I have previously reviewed <a href="http://jo-beautyandthebooks.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/konjac-sponge-review.html">here.</a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvMCKx3-N4FIzGbeLCrELHF1TrO_dbJC3PoQcQWh92nKf3l80T2HkN5EomMDVPcRMAcqQ-X6WuqIpki01jFmynaLPiQJu-xruvHyy8CHixRl4Qgmh3A0-Sh_vgzJmk4P6_zRT3slRLAvs/s640/blogger-image--607073973.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvMCKx3-N4FIzGbeLCrELHF1TrO_dbJC3PoQcQWh92nKf3l80T2HkN5EomMDVPcRMAcqQ-X6WuqIpki01jFmynaLPiQJu-xruvHyy8CHixRl4Qgmh3A0-Sh_vgzJmk4P6_zRT3slRLAvs/s640/blogger-image--607073973.jpg"></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Delivery is very fast, the box arrived the day after I placed the order. It was very well packaged, the products are in the red box which has a magnetic closure, the box was in the white bag and it's was all packaged in a cardboard box to stop it getting damaged in transit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You don't know what products are in the box, but when placing the order it does tell you a few of the brands that will be featured. I like the surprise element!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi All! Wow it feels like ages ago since I last wrote a blog post! I've returned to work after my maternity leave so I'm just trying to find the balance between working, looking after my boys and blogging!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I picked up these fab bargains in my local Pound World last week.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVm3Bcl9PlCdcP4NVvfYYBMC5b4Zbk68ebSMpYnHjZ6yCLsFcd_nZPRs0IgHgzcO9T2-yZArQuI1OW1-V5GuknnmEztgBpov1r9Mw44OpC8UjP4XbVy_idQJfejlCjZcVKEHAjjLNfva8/s640/blogger-image--231436333.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVm3Bcl9PlCdcP4NVvfYYBMC5b4Zbk68ebSMpYnHjZ6yCLsFcd_nZPRs0IgHgzcO9T2-yZArQuI1OW1-V5GuknnmEztgBpov1r9Mw44OpC8UjP4XbVy_idQJfejlCjZcVKEHAjjLNfva8/s640/blogger-image--231436333.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Maybelline Baby Lips. I picked up one of each, I know these have been around for a while now but I have not tried them and couldn't resist for £1 each.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdvLeZXiUSypnPmtv9SfV2BuQElCmhRL4xlcV_I185Tyf6Xwpo24xQylNLmbmT7UHSuPujZgWNAuucjgwkvkRgDb8hWU0iZfxq3xVhzlpdxBu58xoI0c8B1_gHUMbIOUBs1WzimZtDzLQ/s640/blogger-image--1061261019.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdvLeZXiUSypnPmtv9SfV2BuQElCmhRL4xlcV_I185Tyf6Xwpo24xQylNLmbmT7UHSuPujZgWNAuucjgwkvkRgDb8hWU0iZfxq3xVhzlpdxBu58xoI0c8B1_gHUMbIOUBs1WzimZtDzLQ/s640/blogger-image--1061261019.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The outside packaging was not all in English so I wasn't quite sure which scents I was buying but the balms themselves have the names on in English. I got Anti-Oxidant Berry, Cherry Velvet and Mango Pie. These are all colourless so fab to pop under any drying lipsticks. They all contain SPF20 so I'll be taking these on my hols.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These colourless balms retail for around £2.80 each on <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Maybelline-Baby-Lips-Mango-Ple/dp/B0084EL1XO">Amazon.</a></span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I also picked up these two Revlon Baby Sticks for Lips & Cheeks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I got shades Sunset and Tahitian. I found these for £3.29 each on <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Revlon-Cheek-Baby-Stick-Tahitian/dp/B00C40QGY8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400964247&sr=8-1&keywords=revlon+baby+stick">Amazon.</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My local Pound World is a bit hit and miss but sometimes it has some fab bargains like these pretties! What's the best thing you have bought from a pound shop?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello everyone! I've not been around for a few weeks but I'm back with a fantastic giveaway, three full size bottles of custom made one off polishes will be winging their way to one very lucky winner!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I asked three UK indie polish companies to make me three prizes for a giveaway and I used inspiration for a couple of major events that happened to us in 2013 for a bit of inspiration!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I wrote a blog post on 9th Feb about signing back up to Hello Fresh, you can read the post <a href="http://jo-beautyandthebooks.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/hello-fresh-review.html">here</a>. I first used Hello Fresh back in 2012 and was assured when I agreed to purchase a box earlier this month that all the problems they had in 2012 had been resolved. I did enjoy a few of the meals from the box but I cancelled my subscription as I felt that the box did not provide value for money and that I could purchase the ingredients for a fraction of the price from the supermarket.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I cancelled my subscription too late for the following weeks box to be cancelled so on Thursday this box arrived....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was that it contained considerably less than the previous weeks box. As I was getting the "fresh" items out of the box I noticed that some of them were slightly wet...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This was the reason why! Rotten tomatoes! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Damp, mouldy garlic!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was not happy at all with finding these items in my box and emailed Hello Fresh straight away to let them know and to ask for a refund. They didn't reply to me on the Thursday and I had to chase twice on Twitter before they replied to my email on Friday.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The reply was not satisfactory at all - all items are checked before packing, we will tell the delivery driver to be more careful and we will add a little something to your next box! WHAT! Firstly they could have at least checked my account to see that I had already cancelled my subscription, I am speechless that they think they can send rotten/mouldy food to customers and expect them to carry on their subscription for "a little something extra" in the next box. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These items weren't damaged in transit - the rotten tomatoes were in the middle of the pack, I moved some of them to the top for the photo. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I replied that I wasn't happy at all with the response and that I wanted a refund. I still haven't had a reply. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The awful customer service I received and the quality of the food were the reasons I cancelled the subscription back in 2012 and I feel like a bit of an idiot for resubscribing!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It is not very often I post negative reviews on my blog but I feel very strongly that I need to be honest about my experience with Hello Fresh. £49.00 is a lot of money to spend on 5 meals and I can't afford to be wasting money on food that we cannot even eat! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">*UPDATE - I was contacted by the Managing Director of Hello Fresh after he read this blog post. He was very apologetic and I was refunded for the box.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hadn't heard of this company before but a sponsored post popped up on my Facebook feed offering a box for £4.95 delivered. I ordered the box on a Thursday and it arrived on the following Tuesday so delivery is quite speedy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I choose the Super Skinny box. All the items are under 120 calories.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On the underside of the box lid is a table which lists the yummy products in the box, it tells you the calorie content of the snack along with additional details on whether it is suitable for vegetarians, low fat etc</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The box contains 14 portion controlled snacks. Saviour Snacks state on their website that the products in the boxes contain:</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I really like the variety of the contents and the portion sizes are not tiny which is a plus!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The customer service is fab too, I had to email them twice and I got speedy, polite and helpful responses.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I wrote a post yesterday about me getting a Hello Fresh box last week for the first time since 2012, I said I would let you know what the meals were like. These are the first two meals I cooked:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjye3-B-ynYyJ455DC2fgzY7ZSDIDRbcyLOUzgAauUXAABAhOZ7CZimNYBajtqb1FbUEqSSeg_CKrzZGhb3vTPPysTk4silOkRKX6dgFdRsEvzmR6NyTeQg1Voh-iBYsAMuWBKbnCxu3rQ/s640/blogger-image--427132682.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjye3-B-ynYyJ455DC2fgzY7ZSDIDRbcyLOUzgAauUXAABAhOZ7CZimNYBajtqb1FbUEqSSeg_CKrzZGhb3vTPPysTk4silOkRKX6dgFdRsEvzmR6NyTeQg1Voh-iBYsAMuWBKbnCxu3rQ/s640/blogger-image--427132682.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I like the little write ups about the meal and the picture of how it is supposed to look like is a good guide!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUOhkUGrcTrXjj3fYaqza1T8CO5LNZ3MGp8CUkledx4wL8xl2hyYGT4xev8Sl0IiYMD_7HOn_2Z2cP29_y0zInEhUVyzYoZKG__GV0-hPwJ6kU3yPDRZy0eKUiQD3iRD7lYo3e4r3ool8/s640/blogger-image-1783563708.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUOhkUGrcTrXjj3fYaqza1T8CO5LNZ3MGp8CUkledx4wL8xl2hyYGT4xev8Sl0IiYMD_7HOn_2Z2cP29_y0zInEhUVyzYoZKG__GV0-hPwJ6kU3yPDRZy0eKUiQD3iRD7lYo3e4r3ool8/s640/blogger-image-1783563708.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The ingredient list is very clear although I do find it weird that they use "cup" measurements as this is more commonly found in American recipes and the UK tends to use grams. I just presumed that the breadcrumbs etc were the correct amount and used the lot!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRlgSrJ0mXp9TUN2DT1DdPOU8DsGsAFUb9kH152IIei8CYPu1jd8LgFg3UVsSwABp625agqkAkVARLd3MTcHq-dQjFhHXdShDE5XU7HncdGUU5cVEs6ELGIRQjQtiOw1myyjdeJb3UgZQ/s640/blogger-image-526788393.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRlgSrJ0mXp9TUN2DT1DdPOU8DsGsAFUb9kH152IIei8CYPu1jd8LgFg3UVsSwABp625agqkAkVARLd3MTcHq-dQjFhHXdShDE5XU7HncdGUU5cVEs6ELGIRQjQtiOw1myyjdeJb3UgZQ/s640/blogger-image-526788393.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ta-Dah!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ok the sweet potato is a little overcooked but they tasted delicious and so did the chicken. I added some coleslaw as the dish was quite dry without a salad dressing or anything so the coleslaw just finished the dish off in my opinion.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbHaFT8z8JmFLx6wDyzUJRiQdGMffAn2N0XWI9EmnPgi-gAsT-0ldHWUSqcTmwKQGZFWPDqwQXLCaWLGF5op4arT_KAQ1nLN7wG9uKR-npMZSEFSHc1uUxp9tZiivdxZixGk8dMkuf2-s/s640/blogger-image--1825825037.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: start;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbHaFT8z8JmFLx6wDyzUJRiQdGMffAn2N0XWI9EmnPgi-gAsT-0ldHWUSqcTmwKQGZFWPDqwQXLCaWLGF5op4arT_KAQ1nLN7wG9uKR-npMZSEFSHc1uUxp9tZiivdxZixGk8dMkuf2-s/s640/blogger-image--1825825037.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Again a write up about the dish.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Again nice clear ingredients list, I used the whole pack of pancetta and a whole carrot as otherwise they would have gone to waste. I didn't bother weighing them out (ohhh living dangerously!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I never would have cooked something like this normally but it was absolutely delicious, the crispy pancetta set it off perfectly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I really liked both of these dishes, the portion sizes are much bigger and so more filling than when we got the boxes back in 2012. The nutritional information is really handy as I'm trying to lose weight.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am not sure on the value for money though, each meal is nearly £10 as the box costs £49.00 for 5 meals including delivery...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello Fresh is a company that delivers fresh ingredients to your home along with recipe cards to make delicious home cooked meals! They do a variety of boxes including vegetarian.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had a few Hello Fresh boxes back in 2012 (I can't believe it was that long ago!), at the time they had only just launched in the UK so there were a few teething problems. I had a few deliveries with damaged food packaging, damaged outer box and I thought the portion sizes were quite small. I was contacted by Hello Fresh with an offer of £15.00 off a box if I renewed my subscription. They assured me that lots of the problems when they started had now been resolved so I agreed to purchase the 2 person 5 meal classic box, which usually retails at £49.00. The lady told me that the portions would be suitable for 2-3 people.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF3Kka3zjwse4YSdufD1cEdQwWiKf8aOzty0pAY3kbUQQMGANzwzpEMUUlOW-o7D0_E6wAK0eIGchLEZGcd_fEyEo6xQKxcGPym7J1ZUFxgcru3PfZ2xD1Iy9Meq4qvxvcxMxVvGpdbCw/s640/blogger-image-877890859.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF3Kka3zjwse4YSdufD1cEdQwWiKf8aOzty0pAY3kbUQQMGANzwzpEMUUlOW-o7D0_E6wAK0eIGchLEZGcd_fEyEo6xQKxcGPym7J1ZUFxgcru3PfZ2xD1Iy9Meq4qvxvcxMxVvGpdbCw/s640/blogger-image-877890859.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The boxes are delivered by courier and a tracking link was emailed to me once the box was collected from Hello Fresh. I left instructions to leave the box on the front step if I was out which the courier had to do as I was out doing the afternoon school run.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif3-e8alUhdlFoPoFiBGrHhSGvhCPCV5uBHHsPTFXLIw2y12d4RURHrdgNGDrX3TnUMPu6724uR5_M4D6MHH7glTHRQmY6rxk9DV7wSz_vfnaYNwmOPuVY_vnWl9MzggKYr5wk3hJLMwo/s640/blogger-image-262665069.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif3-e8alUhdlFoPoFiBGrHhSGvhCPCV5uBHHsPTFXLIw2y12d4RURHrdgNGDrX3TnUMPu6724uR5_M4D6MHH7glTHRQmY6rxk9DV7wSz_vfnaYNwmOPuVY_vnWl9MzggKYr5wk3hJLMwo/s640/blogger-image-262665069.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The packaging is much better now, all the cold items were in this insulated bag. The bag is recyclable. Previously the cold items were in the box with the rest of the items and the cooling packs were around the outside of the items - this tended to make the outer cardboard box a bit soggy!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC1LxvsPmIWNSdW3sPQXtF2i-nvRXyHzVACt-1fDs4u00jnZ4viwfKvsS15NIlMood6DCspsHxpQAKgecZFrt59diLRbb25EhcKvSnOtwwyTyK5iQ9azMbLd9XuMcjx8fs-HQPnTtSp7Y/s640/blogger-image-672077453.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC1LxvsPmIWNSdW3sPQXtF2i-nvRXyHzVACt-1fDs4u00jnZ4viwfKvsS15NIlMood6DCspsHxpQAKgecZFrt59diLRbb25EhcKvSnOtwwyTyK5iQ9azMbLd9XuMcjx8fs-HQPnTtSp7Y/s640/blogger-image-672077453.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The recipe cards are the same virtually the same as before. They have a little write up about the dish, a clear list of ingredients then step-by-step instructions on the reverse including nice clear pictures of the cooking process. The little envelope that the cards come in is a nice touch!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">They do now include nutritional information which is really helpful - it shows calories, carbs, fat and protein per portion.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These are the cold items we got this week.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is all the veg, lentils, rice, tins etc</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Looks lovely and healthy doesn't it!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The herbs etc are packaged seperately. The spices have already been measured out, so the quantities are correct for the recipes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am SO late putting this post up! Christmas seems so long ago now, I hope you all had a fabulous one. I was happy to see the back of 2013, it was a stressful year and so far 2014 is shaping up to be a good year. This post was ready to go a couple of weeks ago but a BT engineer was working at my neighbours house and managed to cut off both our phone line and internet. I was surprised at how often I use the internet, it was so frustrating not being able to just "Google" something!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, I loved reading posts showing what lovely goodies you all got for Christmas and I hope you enjoy reading mine.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was really not impressed at all with this product. I actually had to stop using it after about 3 weeks. It did not provide any protection, I kept getting whiffs of my underarms and it was not pleasant! I was very paranoid that other people would be able to smell me - I have never had this problem with any other deodorant.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Secondly I did not notice any reduction in the amount of hair under my arms (although it does state that it takes longer than 3 weeks), but what I did notice was that my armpits turned yellow! Yes you read that right YELLOW!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The staining went after a couple of days of not using the Inhibitif - thank goodness!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I would not recommend this product at all. I was more than happy to go back to using my usual deodorant and shaving my armpits.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy New Year to you all!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas too. Thank you for taking the time to read my blog over the past 12 months, it's definitely been an eventful year!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We moved back home in October after the fire at the end of April, the insurance company have done a brilliant job of restoring our house and it was so lovely to move back home, especially in time for Christmas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We had a baby boy in June, Jay, he was our silver lining in a stressful year - they say all things happen for a reason and I'm sure he was sent to us to ease the stress a bit!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hubby was made redundant on the day Jay was born after 22 years working for the same company - they went into liquidation so they didn't even have the money to pay out for redundancy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It meant we got the summer off together with our two boys - living in the rental house, so was rather like a prolonged holiday! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The week we were moving home Jon got offered a really good job and started it a week after we moved home. Perfect timing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So 2013 wasn't the best of years but is ending extremely positively and I'm hoping 2014 will be a great year - best wishes to you all for a happy, healthy and prosperous year. May all your dreams come true!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Each mask has been formulated for a different hair type:</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was sent the Re-Juvenate Refining Mask to try as I have chemically treated hair. The tub is a huge 500ml!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The mask does not contain parabens and the list of ingredients (from the Nanokeratin website) <i>Ricinus Communis oil, Biotin Plus, Keramimic (pure keratin), Mythuline Seporga, Keravis, Vitamin E acetate, glycine soja (soybean) protein, Geranium Maculatum (Geranium) oil.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Leave it to the Pro </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>These new Nanokeratin System masks are available as an in-salon treatment so if you feel like spoiling yourself, add one onto your next cut or colour appointment – Usually costing about £20 (varies per salon/ location etc), it takes only about an extra 20 mins on top of your appointment time and your hair will feel smoother and look shiner than ever before. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>D.I.Y – If you fancy a little bit of a treat in your own home these masks are available retail so that you can create your own hair spa at home more regularly than you might be able to visit the salon! The Mask Treatments RRP at £57.29 but as they come in a super-size 500ml it does work out at as a really good value luxury product.</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The mask is a pale lilac colour and is heavily scented, it smells very luxurious. The usage in the picture is after using the mask 7-8 times! Hardly any has gone and I have long hair. This tub will last me a long time and will now become a weekly treat.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The mask only has to be applied for 2-3 minutes which is brilliant for me as having a little baby means pamper time is limited! I find my hair is a lot smoother after using and the ends of my hair are not as dry as they were. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am off to the hairdressers tomorrow and I am going to take this tub with me to show them as I think they would be really pleased with the results from applying the mask.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Make way for this year’s hottest new skin cleansing system and youth boosting beauty tool - Magnitone Pulsar*. This revolutionary device is designed with Active Electromagnetic Technology to help you achieve visibly younger, smoother, clearer and fresher feeling skin in just 7 days.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Different to anything else currently on the market, Magnitone Pulsar features 4 innovative cleansing modes that allow you to focus on areas of both the face and body in need of specific attention. The technically advanced brush head provides over 15,000 rotational oscillations per minute, ensuring that skin all over the body receives a much deeper exfoliation and more thorough cleanse without any irritation. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9X5FSS5iCkK5BGQUN08XNksaUYK-5T2cIeEc8I0U2CC8cnGNxglcHgp09KkDp_AP_F5a5oBuN4Kb4KsPrd_ktlWUm5us_NwZ32Iseovhmat6fjRqY3Ii4ELuErf2mphAAoOnxsyzKec0/s640/blogger-image--962532640.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9X5FSS5iCkK5BGQUN08XNksaUYK-5T2cIeEc8I0U2CC8cnGNxglcHgp09KkDp_AP_F5a5oBuN4Kb4KsPrd_ktlWUm5us_NwZ32Iseovhmat6fjRqY3Ii4ELuErf2mphAAoOnxsyzKec0/s640/blogger-image--962532640.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The skin cleansing system can be used in a variety of ways - deep clean, exfoliate, sensitive (you would need to purchase the sensitive brush </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">separately</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">) and massage!</span><i style="font-size: 11pt;"> </i><span style="font-size: 11pt;">It can be used all over the body, which I think is a great way hassle free way to buff your skin.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Once charged the brush holds its charge for up to three weeks which makes it handy for packing in your suitcase to take on holiday without having to take the charger etc.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I have tried other facial cleansing systems and found them to be quite harsh and sometimes even painful. I didn't find that at all with the Magnitone Pulsar, I could happily use it twice a day as recommended. The brush is nice and soft against the skin and is lovely to use. I have given away the other facial brush I had (Sorry Boots No7!) and the Magnitone has now become an important part of my skincare routine. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The box is nice and sturdy and has a magnetic fastening. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There are four full size 9ml polishes in the launch box*, each comes in its own individual box.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsYSsrXlj6kqPUx2szdeAMh-SquRlg9vwWhb879MUFziO139Dvon5pmSFv1Nw0poZBDZCSohyphenhyphenj9m9VstfTZp4bfZhwVWk2A8nC8FNvCz9bg4kcjiRbTPIO4jpqN03pzpkxcrUKsOYVukg/s640/blogger-image-977650273.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsYSsrXlj6kqPUx2szdeAMh-SquRlg9vwWhb879MUFziO139Dvon5pmSFv1Nw0poZBDZCSohyphenhyphenj9m9VstfTZp4bfZhwVWk2A8nC8FNvCz9bg4kcjiRbTPIO4jpqN03pzpkxcrUKsOYVukg/s640/blogger-image-977650273.jpg" width="640"></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The polishes have numbers on the bottles rather than names, the names are on the boxes though. This could be confusing!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Mimosa - 12 is a pale pink which is quite sheer</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Raspberry - 17 is a glossy red</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pink Guava - 21 is a bright pink (my favourite!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Silver Clouds - 26 is a grey/lilac with a subtle shimmer running through, very pretty</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have tried number 17, two coats is virtually opaque but I would probably go for three coats next time as I can see a bit of my nail line. The polish dries very quickly. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The polishes do not contain DBP (Dibutyl Phthalate), Toluene, Formaldehyde or Formaldehyde Resin. They do not contain parabens, sulfates, mineral oils, tricolsan, animal by products or phthalates. They are also cruelty free.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The polishes contain Rosehip fruit oil to moisturise and strengthen your nails and the delicate skin around it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was so excited when I heard about this product! I hate moisturising my body it really feels like a chore (lazy blogger!) so when I heard about a moisturiser you apply in the shower I couldn't wait to try it!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4BRm5KvdbKJlklPDMRnyo-8e8OfKKz1t7Rw0ZMnFqjVBZmBzYGj8uRfM1DaG760KOH4eRsI7LNmkYd0oHNUC7kWerB3nhgz_atBYgGfiigB399SHY3-Sqcn8ZXJdzQ1O4qwQMd3SoxKk/s640/blogger-image-1338366691.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4BRm5KvdbKJlklPDMRnyo-8e8OfKKz1t7Rw0ZMnFqjVBZmBzYGj8uRfM1DaG760KOH4eRsI7LNmkYd0oHNUC7kWerB3nhgz_atBYgGfiigB399SHY3-Sqcn8ZXJdzQ1O4qwQMd3SoxKk/s640/blogger-image-1338366691.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It comes in two varieties - Normal Skin and Dry Skin, I purchased the Normal Skin version.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">400ml retails for £5.10 <a href="http://www.boots.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10052&productId=1325412">here</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-liT34mwYqrZzjMAsmPpP6t4Mu2m7m7mIdnowjFxMDxgAOGHQrQlYsL7pA1y_CTqHdqxVqTkmLV6ts8ajWMI9VlANwgOZ_W-0SPwFWFQk1iWiXaRY-dK7psCUhRDbNqLQ-l3wA11hP5Q/s640/blogger-image-940366526.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-liT34mwYqrZzjMAsmPpP6t4Mu2m7m7mIdnowjFxMDxgAOGHQrQlYsL7pA1y_CTqHdqxVqTkmLV6ts8ajWMI9VlANwgOZ_W-0SPwFWFQk1iWiXaRY-dK7psCUhRDbNqLQ-l3wA11hP5Q/s640/blogger-image-940366526.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The product is very easy to use and it is absorbed quickly by the skin. Make sure you do rinse the shower/bath thoroughly though as it leaves a very slippy residue.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLMLOLOcBN3FD3nCcB5mpbr7UPRh4OhpUsxRifwxRberUH3i0xeLdtvH0jkMLkujCDhyphenhyphen2v-bYhZL57FoawWvDYVxz0f7omxoxsssdi-KCpZZE-Y_xOF8DYX1S5AVlnMRRjDN4I29w3JbE/s640/blogger-image--1448608319.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLMLOLOcBN3FD3nCcB5mpbr7UPRh4OhpUsxRifwxRberUH3i0xeLdtvH0jkMLkujCDhyphenhyphen2v-bYhZL57FoawWvDYVxz0f7omxoxsssdi-KCpZZE-Y_xOF8DYX1S5AVlnMRRjDN4I29w3JbE/s640/blogger-image--1448608319.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The cream is a medium consistency, no different than a normal body moisturiser.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So review time....I was really disappointed with this product. It is the same consistency and smells like a well known brand of hair removing cream which was very off putting when applying to the whole of your body! Hubby says it smells like hand cream though so it could be my nose. It makes the shower tray extremely slippy even after I have rinsed it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Personally I don't find it moisturising at all, I notice no difference between using it and not using it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am so disappointed, this is such a great concept and I thought I had found an easy way to moisturise my body. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Have you tried this?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The October You Beauty Discovery Box is based on Handbag Heroes! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is the second box they have released, you can read my review on the September box <a href="http://jo-beautyandthebooks.blogspot.co.uk/2013/09/you-beauty-discovery-box-september-2013.html">here</a>. The October choices were released right at the beginning of the month and shipping is fast, my box arrived today via courier.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The box contains a small magazine with details about all the products for the month, plus beauty articles.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilYLYrGTNPkhBE36xeMeSaonXeNhVfTIB7YuRZC5FbdFUiJnL-U9WBWL52Bg935uHnIytVTJ0Y_TkkApF8TGxaZZizXuWHkC_PIH8sf_cGgW3z3x9KpOvinUwdTQpwXFjSgbUJT0f8MyQ/s640/blogger-image-477213192.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilYLYrGTNPkhBE36xeMeSaonXeNhVfTIB7YuRZC5FbdFUiJnL-U9WBWL52Bg935uHnIytVTJ0Y_TkkApF8TGxaZZizXuWHkC_PIH8sf_cGgW3z3x9KpOvinUwdTQpwXFjSgbUJT0f8MyQ/s640/blogger-image-477213192.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The concept of the box is that you choose two items from a selection and they include a couple of items that are the same in all the boxes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5bj_YM3cZ0YA3lQU376fLq1I9hh-u9us93_XygO29Xzch9MeT2gIo5_31CwBzrre9Tr-HuORCOtTRF0gt1EPLtUKGOIJcxzQdDV8vIRXhEe6k7vRVMmM4hHq4Bv32mlVrBe0KB4ZJ8Qc/s640/blogger-image-477347351.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5bj_YM3cZ0YA3lQU376fLq1I9hh-u9us93_XygO29Xzch9MeT2gIo5_31CwBzrre9Tr-HuORCOtTRF0gt1EPLtUKGOIJcxzQdDV8vIRXhEe6k7vRVMmM4hHq4Bv32mlVrBe0KB4ZJ8Qc/s640/blogger-image-477347351.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These are the items that are in all the boxes this month -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Full size Nakd bar - I got Berry Delight. The bars contain only raw fruit and nuts, no sugar or nasties. I have tried a few of these bars and they are absolutely delicious, they are very filling too as they are quite dense. I hadn't tried this flavour before and it is yummy!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">These are the ingredients Raw Dates 49%, Raw Cashews 31%, Raw Raisins 17%, Raw Raspberries 3%, a Hint of Natural Berry Flavour. They retail for 75p <a href="http://www.ocado.com/webshop/product/Nakd-Berry-Delight-Bar/63338011?sku=63338011&dnr=y">here</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A handbag mirror - these are always useful for putting in your bag, I'm forever losing mirrors and tweezers!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghBkMWAN4reiYerZx91RBg7L-ocKA7Ab4IIezne2ydP66n7pf6tUwLPnSlwaQ-pk_eYBLt187d2GMdsVtliEbmFRhTZfhHVu8itxccn9-Kadr-voGPaR-SIIEpK3hUR5sgh1G1OY3zQx4/s640/blogger-image-572239663.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghBkMWAN4reiYerZx91RBg7L-ocKA7Ab4IIezne2ydP66n7pf6tUwLPnSlwaQ-pk_eYBLt187d2GMdsVtliEbmFRhTZfhHVu8itxccn9-Kadr-voGPaR-SIIEpK3hUR5sgh1G1OY3zQx4/s640/blogger-image-572239663.jpg" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is the first item that I choose. A compact tangle teezer, this retails for £12.25 <a href="http://www.tangleteezer.com/products.php#%23prod=CS-BP-010210&cat=compact">here</a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I really like this! I was a bit worried about it being "compact" but it actually fits perfectly into my palm. This is definitely a handbag hero!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivytfduuUsH0L1qFIlgjFczjjYtI2zU23B86wUAeXvtq-kYrVM3kYy1RMm0OOAjZ36sf_MvB61L5aymjEe-H8o_wf9r9DAvc82hucUaYQTPu1cHEIZN2MFpgdg4HYmgWs-NtPGq10exNM/s640/blogger-image--1377909726.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivytfduuUsH0L1qFIlgjFczjjYtI2zU23B86wUAeXvtq-kYrVM3kYy1RMm0OOAjZ36sf_MvB61L5aymjEe-H8o_wf9r9DAvc82hucUaYQTPu1cHEIZN2MFpgdg4HYmgWs-NtPGq10exNM/s640/blogger-image--1377909726.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>An unreservedly romantic fragrance, remindful of floaty green florals and mellow woods, enriched with extracts of willow bark and water lily, known for their soothing properties.</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm delighted with this box, I feel the contents really fit in with the theme of the box and it is fantastic value at only £6.95 delivered!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I got this cleanser in the <a href="http://jo-beautyandthebooks.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/british-beauty-blogger-bbb-edit-box.html">British Beauty Blogger BBB Edit Box</a> and was looking forward to trying it out as I have read some great reviews.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It is a 3-in-1 cleanser and is described on Philosophy's website - <i>our award-winning daily facial skin cleanser is formulated to gently cleanse, tone and melt away all face and eye makeup in one simple step, while lightly hydrating the skin.</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE_Q2PoTl6Agz7fm557oqssB-2HGWwHDplG0ZpAIHZvxPGKBN4oh_607mlgWY4t3kGFiU0sVAJ1wyN4lRAdZRXqRx1IUCnqU4Vs0AARhoZJo12ApKAWHsw-wVV0tXwrim8wO4pqPwmTEM/s640/blogger-image-251146239.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE_Q2PoTl6Agz7fm557oqssB-2HGWwHDplG0ZpAIHZvxPGKBN4oh_607mlgWY4t3kGFiU0sVAJ1wyN4lRAdZRXqRx1IUCnqU4Vs0AARhoZJo12ApKAWHsw-wVV0tXwrim8wO4pqPwmTEM/s640/blogger-image-251146239.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The cleanser is light cream coloured and the consistency of shampoo. It claims to be suitable for all skintypes. 90ml retails for £8.00 <a href="http://www.philosophyskincare.co.uk/one-step-facial-cleanser/purity-made-simple,default,pd.html">here</a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm afraid I didn't get on with this product, it did remove my makeup well but I found it left my skin feeling very tight and dry and not at all hydrated.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have normal skin which does tend to lean towards being dry around this time of year as the weather gets cooler.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have used up all the bottle but I wouldn't repurchase so it's a thumbs down from me!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Have you tried this? Thumbs up or thumbs down?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I first read about inhibitif when Sam did a review over at <a href="http://www.honeygo-lightly.com/#uds-search-results">Honey Go-Lightly</a> so when I popped into Boots at the beginning of the week to pick up some deodorant and saw this on the shelf I picked it straight up!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnrT_8xOwb7_pSUm2J2PTukEXGTK5ysTghaxV_FMBe1AFxaHXnKmbMUdYX6ZrBe2_BERt_FGsGyYJ8Wk_pcakNbiVnC3AnX0vSertio2TqbKhigDG6qj8gbErQcVzXmr8PZb1SwanXWxk/s640/blogger-image--1878733420.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnrT_8xOwb7_pSUm2J2PTukEXGTK5ysTghaxV_FMBe1AFxaHXnKmbMUdYX6ZrBe2_BERt_FGsGyYJ8Wk_pcakNbiVnC3AnX0vSertio2TqbKhigDG6qj8gbErQcVzXmr8PZb1SwanXWxk/s640/blogger-image--1878733420.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The deodorant contains 50ml and retails for £8.99 in Boots and on the Inhibitif website.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPgzfDCsDZOprA-MFKZWpd6qTz6z_uE78ylQCfBCHf7cjEPRYKk0j9blHJ-9ZZv02U2wJ1EJU1rDkSDDlkkrk4glnQK8wbAOVbOidHT1sXjSBvJaPsskjlLe_35sbogwJr9o-b01EUoog/s640/blogger-image--1512452314.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPgzfDCsDZOprA-MFKZWpd6qTz6z_uE78ylQCfBCHf7cjEPRYKk0j9blHJ-9ZZv02U2wJ1EJU1rDkSDDlkkrk4glnQK8wbAOVbOidHT1sXjSBvJaPsskjlLe_35sbogwJr9o-b01EUoog/s640/blogger-image--1512452314.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The deodorant claims to minimise the need for hair removal within 2 months when used daily. As I am a brunette my underarm hairs are quite dark, I shave under them every time I shower so it would be nice to have fuzz free armpits!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLYtQdhgVCnBtPfYPpLKS_edlF4vXMV1QVaLjG4seZPMptWXg5UWyjfi0zmulIBBLoDSs6i87lNW48_EB_Ar523OZY9YjhcrKKVpFHPzqB1-puF4lLgxYFWN6M7uEvMGm2r-QpDoYY8UY/s640/blogger-image-308958209.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLYtQdhgVCnBtPfYPpLKS_edlF4vXMV1QVaLjG4seZPMptWXg5UWyjfi0zmulIBBLoDSs6i87lNW48_EB_Ar523OZY9YjhcrKKVpFHPzqB1-puF4lLgxYFWN6M7uEvMGm2r-QpDoYY8UY/s640/blogger-image-308958209.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The deodorant is a standard roll on. It does have a mint fragrance which is very bizarre! Looking on their website though they do a <a href="http://inhibitif.com/product/Hair-Free-Deodorant-Fragrance-Free">Fragrance Free</a> version which I would prefer, but they only had the mint one in my local Boots.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I will do a review in a month and then again at the end of the two months, you will have to trust my word though as I won't be doing before and after photos! ;)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After looking on their website I can see they do a range of products and you can read more about how it works. You can find their website <a href="http://inhibitif.com/">here</a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">What do you think? Would you give this product a go?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I must admit I have so many polishes in my stash that I have not yet tried, I really must try not to buy any more until I have worked my way through them (yeah who am I kidding, can't resist the pretties!! ). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Rimmel Metal Rush Pearly Queen was one of these polishes.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6fbMx_8ixJ0O-uzocg-bpyS7iDGC10BvZlKBt-Ue3DgOTq73QS14WOVDCBejN8rzMQPlqYRNzrDXE_5zCWvC03UiWhDLU1W84PFM7903husRJ9GCVSeNHrAFUsQaa3l5dogZy-E8IRAc/s640/blogger-image-993955155.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6fbMx_8ixJ0O-uzocg-bpyS7iDGC10BvZlKBt-Ue3DgOTq73QS14WOVDCBejN8rzMQPlqYRNzrDXE_5zCWvC03UiWhDLU1W84PFM7903husRJ9GCVSeNHrAFUsQaa3l5dogZy-E8IRAc/s640/blogger-image-993955155.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Pearly Queen is from a small range of duo chrome polishes from Rimmel.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It is a silvery lilac that shifts to green and gold. It is quite sheer all the pics show three coats plus topcoat. It dried quickly and the wear time was very good - I think I got 4 days without it chipping which is a long time on my nails.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">....unfortunately I really didn't like it on my nails.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I personally found the colour too wishy washy for my personal taste and I don't think it suits my skintone.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It is quite pretty when it shifts to the greeny gold colour, this was taken in artificial light.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This polish is not for me, I have passed it on to my sister. I maybe should have tried it over a base colour but I'm trying to be a bit ruthless with my polishes!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you like it you can buy it for £3.99 <a href="http://www.superdrug.com/rimmel/rimmel-metal-rush-nail-polish-pearly-queen/invt/541555">here</a>. Have you tried any of the Metal Rush polishes?</span></div>
