Braun Silk-epil 5 and Braun Series 3

I joined supersavvyme a few years ago but never got accepted for a campaign, well my luck changed and i finally got accepted for a campaign that both myself and my husband could try together, I received the Braun Silk-epil 5 (epilator) and my husband received the Braun Series 3 (shaver). Once accepted they did not take long to arrive, they came on the day they said they would which was exciting, they came in a massive box. When we opened the box the above picture is what we found inside, it came with both products as well as a project handbook that tells you about the products and what we have to do to complete this campaign. 

We had to leave a review on the supersavvyme tried and tested page where other people can see reviews for the products and make their own decision based upon the reviews, I myself check reviews on products before I trial it, just because I see a bad review if the price isn't too bad I may still trial it as I may find another result that others haven't, as what works for one may not work for another.

These are the reviews we left for the products above.

Braun Silk-epil 5 - My product review

i have never used an epilator before and i got this for free from supersavvyme to trial, i have always used a normal razor, it came really nicely packaged, the epilator looked nice, it wasn't too heavy which is important as i struggle with some because i have upper arm problems, i was a bit nervous using it but i needn't of been, it was so easy to use, it didn't hurt and it left my legs silky smooth, i would definitely recommend others to try who havn't done so before. It is slightly noisy but if you do it with music in the background you don't nervous, i wasn't overly too impressed with having to find a plug to fit as it came with not a uk fitting but luckily i had one lying about so it didn't matter too much. all the information i needed for use was all in the box

Braun Series 3 - Husbands product review

hubby got this free to trial from supersavvyme on a dual trial, it came in a nice packaging, it isn't too heavy, it looks good. it is very easy to use, leaves a nice smooth finish, my husband loved all the extras it came with and having it altogether, it didn't pull the hair or irritate the skin, it is easy to clean, hubby was impressed and so was i.

So we tested the products and thought they were great, I would recommend them as it was both our first times trying something like these and they have worked for us, will I continue to use them....? yes I will but I will always try something new as with most women and mothers you want something that is easy and quick but also want something that's new.

These are my own and my husband's personal opinions, we have not been paid to write this review, this personal review was not asked, yes we got free products to trial but I will not be penalized if I left a negative review, I however have left a positive review as this is my own findings and correct at time of posting. I know how frustrating it is to find a positive review on a product that is not great and felt mislead.

A2 milk review

I got these free from a2 milk via bzzagent and was excited to try this campaign, I received a booklet informing about a2 milk, some coupons for myself and some coupons to pass on to friends and family. I am always sensitive to milk so I try and have as little as possible. I received the vouchers through the post and then the fun began…trying to locate the milk in a shop, i struggled at first but then managed to find it in one of the big Tesco Extra stores. The best bit with using the coupons was what happened at the till, the milk was £1.99 each or 2 for £3.50, I used 2 coupons at £1.99 each so it took 48p off my other shopping! can’t complain with that.

I went home and couldn’t wait to trial the milk, it came in a cute little packaging. So I tried the milk with tea, hot chocolate, cereal and milkshakes, I really could not tell the difference between normal milk and a2 milk and neither could my family members. So so far so good. Myself and my daughter has a sensitive stomach and sometimes feel ill after drinking too much milk, I normally try to eat as little milk as possible with my cereal but I gave it a shot with a2 and I was surprised to say I did not feel sick, I had no cramps and I had no bloating which is what I normally get when I drink normal milk. After 2 weeks trialling the milk, I can finally see the difference between normal milk and a2 milk, its how I feel within myself with not feeling ill all of the time and where before I wanted to stay in, I am now happy to go out, I would definitely recommend this to people who have sensitive stomachs.

Now that I am feeling better within myself, I am now motivated to lose the weight and take care of myself and all because of the difference I feel within my body.

The following below is taken from A2

Some may not be aware that their issues could be related to an intolerance to A1 protein. Found in regular milk, some may struggle to digest A1. Luckily, a2 Milk is sourced from British cows that naturally produce only milk containing A2 protein and no A1 protein.

These are my own personal views on the product, I was NOT paid or told to leave a positive review, I was asked to leave an accurate view of how I felt, these are all my own words, thoughts and opinions.

L’oreal Paris Casting Crème Gloss Review

I received the L’oreal Paris Casting Crème Gloss in the colour Plum free to try from L’oreal via BzzAgent. My hair was annoying me as the colour had faded and it looked dull and this campaign was right up my street. I was happy to see they had some actual colours on there, rather than just being the normal natural colours of blondes and browns. So I chose the colour Plum, when it came I was so excited, it came in a nice pink box and the packaging for the hair colour looked cute. I read the instructions and it said it would develop in 20 minutes and that it was ammonia free. It came with the colour, the developer, gloves and conditioner, I also had some coupons to hand out to friends for them to try with some money off. I opened it and mixed it together, there was no horrible smell like the other colours I have used in the past, it was a nice smell, it was very easy to apply and didnt take to long, I have very thick and long hair so it would of been nice to have a little extra product. I waited the 20 minutes and i had no dripping, I did accidently lean against the cream leather sofa and white living room door…OOPS, it came off the door but still have some on the sofa. I washed the colour out which took approx 10-15 minutes for the water to fully run clear and I used the conditioner. My hair smelt really nice. I went downstairs to dry my hair so I couldn’t see myself in the mirror, I wanted the full effect, after finishing drying my hair I went and looked in the mirror….WOW, my hair was a bit darker than I expected but I thought it was great, it was a nice dark purple colour and when you stepped in the light you could see a really light vibrant purple tone. My hair felt great, it did not feel damaged in any way and felt renewed, vibrant and full of life. The colour actually did what it said on the packaging and it fulfilled what it promised. I am impressed, I have washed my hair and havn’t found it has faded yet as it says it lasts upto 28 washes.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants something different, that isn’t permanent and wants their hair to feel great, I do not have any grey hairs so I cannot comment about that but I have heard good results from friends saying it does.

I may of received this product for free but I have NOT been told what to right or leave a positive review, I have been asked to leave an honest review and this is my honest opinion.

Thanks everyone for reading much love Tasha xxx

Product review – NSPA Treatment Elixir Oil

NSPA Treatment Elixir Oil for Normal/Dry Hair, 150ml

Like most parents I have a very wingy 4 year old when it comes to brushing her hair, I have tried using a tangle teezer although great, the hair breakage that comes along with it from using it everyday isn’t. I wanted to find something I could put in her hair that would help, I already used a detangling spray everyday (I have tried a few) which kind of helped but wasn’t fantastic. I was shopping in Asda and I saw the nspa treatment elixir oil on sale for approx £2 original price tag of £4.95. I thought well its on offer i will give it a go otherwise if it doesn’t work I’m only a few pounds down. Well I was very happy and impressed I gave it a go! I used it on myself as well as my daughter, I washed both of our hairs normally, towel dried them and used 2 pumps of oil, rubbed it in my hands and evenly distributed it throughout the hair, then came the test. Normally when I brushed our hair after a bath/shower it was knotty. Unfortunately for my daughter she has my thick long hair, well I started to brush my daughters hair and was amazingly surprised. There was NO knots or tangles and I could brush her hair without her screaming and crying even though I am extremely gentle. I am a qualified hairdresser and aware on how to brush the hair properly, still doesn’t stop my 4 year old making a fuss. I have used this product every day for the last 4 weeks and I am very impressed. My daughter went for her swimming lesson this week and I wondered what would happen if I didn’t put it in?, would it make a difference?, was i imagining the difference?, you guessed it, it was knotty and full of tangles, I wont be making that mistake again and this product will be a full-time part of our daily routine! It has made our hair feel soft, not frizzy (for me a big benefit as I don’t have to straighten my hair daily anymore), It has revived our hair and looks hydrated but most importantly it does NOT look greasy from the oil, it is a lightweight oil and you do not notice it is in your hair. It dries nicely instead of having big, frizzy, buffy hair! I cant imagine this product not being used in our daily routines as it really does a fantastic job, I would highly recommend this to everyone, especially people with very knotty hair, I just wish I found this product sooner!!

Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Review

I was so pleased to get accepted onto this campaign from bzzagent and then to actually receive the product, I received it through royal mail and then tested it straight away as my feet are one of the worse things on my body! they are always getting dry, looking disgusting, feeling uneven, cracked so I was really excited to try it, I’ve tried a few products and none really did the job so to be honest I was a bit dubious and wondering will it work? so I turned it on I was a little shocked about the noise of this product, it is very loud, surprisingly this done a perfect job, got to places that I didn’t think it would, it has made my skin even, smooth and they look great! I even get thick, dry, cracked skin on my toes and on one of my ankles, this also took care of them and I couldn’t be more pleased! the serum that works with the product I thought would be sticky as most creams/serums are however this serum is not sticky, it dries really quick so you don’t have to worry about walking around and things sticking to it, its lightweight and not greasy, I didn’t feel it got stuck on my hands and then having to wipe off, I did not feel any burning sensation or any pain from keeping it in one area too long like I have with other machines. I would recommend this product as it is fantastic so with the only complaint being the noise of the machine I can live with, I will continue to use this product and trial it to see if it can still reach the high expectations it has already reached.

My new foot care routine

 Firstly I soak my feet in a Pedi spa for approx 15-20 minutes in luke warm water, then I gently dab my feet with a towel to gently dry them, after they are dried I use my Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi to remove all the dead and dry skin, I start with the right foot first and then I go on to do the left, I attack the bottom of my feet, then go around the sides, gently do my toes where there is built up dry skin and the same for one of my ankles, I then take a nail file and file my toe nails to shape them, I apply the serum all over and rub in until the serum has dried and disappeared, if I wanted to put some nail polish on to add a splash of colour I do as mentioned above but add the following the steps, I will gently push my cuticles back with a cuticle pusher and remove the dead cuticle off the nail plate, I will then take a cotton ball with a bit of non acetone polish remover onto it and squeak my nails clean to remove the serum just off of the toe nails as the polish will not adhere properly if there is any creams or lotions on the nails, I then apply a base coat, 2-3 coats of coloured polish and a top coat. This is my new foot care routine for them gorgeous summer feet!

colour on my toes gelish is Queen of hearts 

#GotItFree

This is my own opinion formed from trying this product, know one has influenced me in any way, I really do think this is a great product and the only thing I feel that let this product down was the noise, I will definitely be using this product again and is now apart of my new foot care routine, thanks to everyone who has read this much love tasha xxxxxx
