Vital Eyes - Eye Drops

Vital Eyes - Eye Drops
Tiredness, smoky atmospheres, computer screens and air conditioning can leave eyes looking dull and feeling irritated, uncomfortable and dried out.

Suitable for everyday use .. Vital Eyes eye drops can put the sparkle and moisture back into your eyes!

Liquid drops in a tiny bottle that can be kept discreetly in your handbag or pocket, are suitable for daily use whenever you feel you need them. You only require one or two drops so you don't have to worry about your make-up running down your cheeks or looking like a startled rabbit for the next hour.

The Brightening drops add sparkle to your eyes, great if you are off out down the pub *wink wink* to add a little sparkle to your outfit .... you never know who's heart you could twinkle ;) (works with current partners too).

The Moisturising drops refresh your eyes when you need it most, drop in a couple of drops when you get that scratchy feeling before you start to rub them and look all scarily red eyed. Great for late nights at the office, or after a long hard day ... a bit of a treat for your peepers.

Do not use if you are wearing contact lenses.
Discard after 1 month of opening.

Available from most major supermarkets and chemists on the high street and online.
10ml bottles: RRP £3.10-£3.50 depending on retailer

Firefly Tonic Drinks

Firefly Tonic Drinks
Natural Healthy Energy
Life's short, and to get the most out of it, we need energy. Lots of it. But we want to stay healthy too.
Firefly tonics contain natural energising ingredients, in a delicious, healthy drink.
They work with herbal experts to find natural formulas that work - right now.
Firefly say NO to sugar and artificial ingredients. Fundamental.
And the result: Firefly Tonics. Healthy drinks that give you natural energy - fast!

Firefly Tonics are available in 40 countries which is pretty amazing as they are a relatively small company.
To find your nearest stockist please visit: http://www.fireflytonics.com/our-drinks/where-to-get-firefly/

Each drink is in a 330ml glass bottle, the bottle is a very smooth shape and is covered completely with a plastic coloured wrapper. I found the tops quite hard to initially open as they are quite slim and you need a firm grip.
All Firefly tonics are still fruit juices with added herbal extracts, they can be consumed at any time of day. All Firefly tonics are best consumed cold.

I tried the following Firefly Tonic flavours: Wake Up, Detox, Recharge and Sharpen Up ... and all were gorgeous :)

(Red) Wake up is flavoured with Peach and Green Tea, the drink actually contains Peaches, red grapes, white grapes, green tea, mate and kola. It was smooth with a little after kick of peach. Containing only 106 calories per bottle, one bottle was enough to refresh me and it did indeed wake me up a little.

(Orange) Detox is flavoured with Lemon, Lime and Ginger, the drink also contains nettles and burdock to help clear your head. The lemon and lime give the drink a zesty kick followed by a punch of ginger. It was tasty and although I was a bit dubious about drinking nettles ... I couldn't taste them one bit (even though I don't know what they taste like in the first place). 113 calories per bottle.

(Silver) Recharge is a blend of Pomegranate, Lime and Elderflower. Extra ingredients include kola nut and chilli. I must admit that this blend was my favourite, it was smooth and refreshing but had a slight fiery aftertaste that was very pleasant. 98 calories per bottle.

(Green) Sharpen Up contains Grapefruit and Passionfruit. This flavour was my least favourite as I am not a big fan of grapefruit and it is quite punchy with the sharpness of grapefruit. However it is refreshing and clears your pallet causing your to literally 'sharpen up'. 110 calories per bottle.

I was very impressed with Firefly Tonic Drinks, the design of the bottles are striking, the flavours are refreshing and ingredients healthy. Each bottle retails are between £1.50 and £2.00 a bottle, which for the ingredients and healthy properties this is quite a reasonable price.
