femfresh Intimate Hygiene Wipes

femfresh natural balance intimate hygiene wipes

This morning Andy said to me "What are you up to today then love?" and I replied "I'm reviewing fanny wipes!" ... he looked at me oddly, shrugged his shoulders and went to work.

I like these wipes, they are pocket sized, flushable, freshening and give you a lovely fresh feeling after use. At certain times when ladies need a little extra to feel clean and fresh, femfresh wipes tick all the boxes.

Dermatologically and gynaecologically tested these wipes are suitable for everyday use. They are PH-balanced and hypoallergenic, the gentle cleansing formula contains extracts of soothing white water lily and naturally anti-bacterial calendula. All good stuff!!

The sachet packaging is plain white with the femfresh logo, very plain so if you do accidentally drop your bag in the middle of a shopping centre no-one will know what they are (basically they look like the wipes you use for washing your hands).

Each wipe isn't huge, but the fabric used is quite stretchy. Even though they are smaller than your average wet wipe they are quite damp and leave a softening film on the skin.

Fresh fragranced, fresh feeling - a perfect product.
RRP: £2.30 for 16 individual wipes
Available from all major supermarkets and high street chemists.

Nair - Exfoliating Hair Removal Cream

Nair Exfoliating Hair Removal Cream

I think this product is a brilliant idea, now I don't know about you but when I use hair removal cream I end up having to scrub it off in the shower (with a body puff) which then makes my legs sting and burn after. I also find that before I put the cream on my legs are so hairy that I cannot exfoliate and so my 'after' legs still look all scabby and manky with dry patches.

Well I will be hairy no longer! Plus my legs will be as smooth as a peach as Nair have brought out a hair removing cream with added exfoliater .... hair removingly brilliant !!

Nair Exfoliating Hair Removal Cream works in 3 ways: you smooth is on as with other Nair hair removal cream, leave for 5 minutes (max 10 minutes) and then wash away. As you wash tiny grains gently exfoliate while a built-in moisturiser moisturises your skin.

Always read the label - Nair is dermatologically tested but its always best to do a small skin test first in case of reaction.

So with new smooth moisturised legs for up to 7 days ... get that party dress on and show off your legs this party season!!

Pearl Drops Instant White Ultra

Pearl Drops Instant White Ultra

  • Provides an ULTRA white effect in just one coat, transforming your smile in an instant!
  • Simply brush on to leave a bright white veneer that dries in seconds!
  • With its gorgeously packaged applicator, you can fit it into your handbag & touch up your smile at anytime, in any place.
  • A concealer for your teeth that can be reapplied as many times as you want.
  • To remove, simply brush off with a toothbrush at the end of the day!

According to the description on the Pearl Drops website ... this product gives 'Dramatic results in seconds' well don't get too excited as you do get results but they aren't of a Simon Cowell dramatic standard.

I gave it a go, read all the instructions and followed them step-by-step, I cleaned my teeth and dried them with a tissue, then applied the pre-shaken liquid with the little brush provided. Clenching my teeth together I asked my daughter "Oooh they oook iter?", she looked puzzled, "Mi eeeth oo ay ook e-nee iter?". She read the box and looked at me again still with my teeth clenched together looking like a demented Cheshire cat, "Hmmm a bit!" she told me (which was I am sure just to make me feel better) "Did you paint them?".

I licked my teeth and they felt lovely and smooth, the taste of the liquid is actually quite refreshing too which was a surprise. Determined to get 'Dramatic results in seconds' I re-dried my teeth and applied a second coat. This time after giving them a minute to dry I set off outside to find my husband - he stated that my normal teeth did look a little brighter but my discoloured tooth (I fell of my bike when I was 7 and now have a darker front tooth) just looked like I had painted it with Tippex.

Hmmm so what do I put in my review? On regular teeth discoloured by coffee (for example) Pearl Drops Instant White Ultra does give a brighter lightening effect, but on badly discoloured teeth you can see the white liquid streaks. For a party or special occasion this product is a good idea, but I probably wouldn't use it for everyday use.

Ingredients: Alcohol, Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate Copolymer, Aroma, Glycerin, Aqua, Linalool, Limonene, +/-CI 77019, CI 77891.
