FNUG Trendsetter Nail Polish from My Pure

Trendsetter

I received a bottle of FNUG Natural Nail Polish in Trendsetter free of charge from My Pure, in return for an honest review. All opinions are based upon my own experience.

I am a HUGE fan of nail polishes and love nothing more than experimenting with various colours and designs - this isn't to say that I'm any good when it comes to the art of nail painting as it generally resembles something a 3 year old would achieve! However, I do like to try.

I have tried the FNUG range of nail polishes before and remain as impressed as ever. The pots are an ideal size and show the colour of the polish clearly. The polish itself comes out thick enough to give a reasonable coat, but not too thick that it looks gloopy or takes ages drying. I found that after around a minute, my nails were touchably dry and able to withstand a second coat. The brush is one of the best I've used as it has a decent width which manages to cover most of the nail in one fell swoop. My baby fingernails are quite small so I did worry that the brush may be a wee bit big but it managed no problem ....one swipe and it was job done!

After 1 coat

The above pic shows my nails after just one coat and although the coverage is pretty decent, you can still see a bit of transparency through the nails, especially my middle finger. For this reason, I decided to give them two coats .......

After 2 coats

My nails were loaded with colour and I really love the high gloss finish which was achieved after two coats. the nail polish did begin to chip slightly after around 3-4 days, but I do a lot of dishes which is never a good thing when trying to stay chip free! It did last longer than some of the other brands I have tried, and because it is a natural product with added vitamins, I knew my nails were being nourished at the same time.
Although the polish looks pretty blue in the pics, it does have a slight hint of purple to it. Unfortunately, no matter which angle I placed the camera at or where in my house I stood, I just couldn't pick up on it.

FNUG Natural Nail Polish in Trendsetter is available to buy from My Pure and currently on offer costing £10.80 for an 8.5ml bottle. (All prices correct at time of post. Normal price £12.00)
There are plenty other colours to choose from so go on, spoil yourself!!
I would definitely recommend this product as it lasts for ages and a little goes a really long way!

Power Foam Roller available from Amazon.co.uk

Box (front)

Box (back)

I received the Power Foam Roller by PurePower free of charge, in return for an honest review. All opinions are based upon my own experience.

I regularly suffer severe knots in my shoulders and upper back, so thought that this may help alleviate the pain as well as being useful as a pre-workout warm-up.
A short time after I placed my order, I received an email explaining how to claim my free e-book. I followed the instructions and was able to download my e-book quickly and easily to my pc. Before I had even received the Power Foam Roller, I was able to read up on it and get myself familiar with the recommended uses. This came in very handy when my package arrived a few days later as I already had an idea of how to use it to its best advantage. The e-book not only describes in detail how to use it, but also comes with handy pictures so you can be sure you're using it correctly.

The roller itself has a sturdy bright green, plastic, hollow internal tube which is covered in a durable foam ....

The foam itself isn't exactly soft, but you can push it in with your finger and it has 'bumpy' areas for maximum impact ....

More 'bumpy' parts

It's alot more lightweight than I expected so can be moved around with ease.

You are warned to expect some discomfort, tenderness and possibly bruising so I was prepared for the worst, especially as I only have a small, bony frame and it advises to 'roll on soft tissue and avoid direct contact over bone or joints'. As my shoulders and upper back are where I suffer most, this is where I began. I placed the Power Roller under my shoulder blades and positioned my body accordingly. I then, gently, began to roll my body up and down the roller. I could definitely feel it, although it wasn't exactly painful, just slightly uncomfortable as it worked its way over the knots. I repeated this exercise 10 times before moving onto the next one and was surprised at how much more at ease my muscles felt, despite now beginning to feel slight pain whilst rolling. I did notice a few slight creaks and groans coming from the Power Roller, but at no point did I feel that it wouldn't be able to take the strain, after all, it does come with a lifetime guarantee which shows just how confident they are that this will last!
I've been using this daily for around a week now and find that it still works wonders for me and with practice, it becomes much easier to use.
I was also really impressed when I received another email making sure that all was well with my new purchase, and offering assistance/advice if at all needed. This gave me so much reassurance. All in all a great product with proven benefits and fantastic customer service and aftercare team.

You can purchase the Power Roller from Amazon.co.uk at a cost of £26.99 (rrp £49.99) with free delivery.  Prices correct at time of post.

Alva Rhassoul Repair Spray from My Pure

I received a bottle of Alva Rhassoul Repair Spray free of charge from My Pure, in return for an honest review. All opinions are based upon my own experiences.

As regular readers of my blog will know, I suffer from pretty problematic skin and have done for some time. Over the years, my skin has become drier and prone to the odd outbreak of spots, something I thought I'd left behind in my teens! I've tried many products designed specifically for spots but find that although some of them seem to work a little, they dry out the surrounding skin which becomes uncomfortable and results in me having to stop using the product. I hoped that this would be different as it not only contains tea tree oil and manuka oils, but also has 90% aloe vera to help provide some much needed moisture.

The bottle comes with a pump action spray top making the oil easy to dispense and preventing any spillage. To use, simply spray a little onto a cotton pad and dab over problem areas. It can also be sprayed directly onto neck and decollete area.

The hardest part for me was getting past the smell! It's very pungent and, in my opinion, isn't particularly pleasant. I managed to squirt a small amount onto a cotton pad and apply it to the few spots which were visible on my face. I was unable to spray it directly onto my neck etc as the smell was quite overpowering. Putting the smell aside, I applied the oil each night before bed and after a couple of days, I saw a visible reduction in both the size of the offending spots and despite this being applied directly to the spots, the surrounding skin didn't suffer at all and remained moisturised. I continued using each night for 1 week and my spots had completely gone ...relief! My skin has been clear since but as soon as I see one appear, i won't hesitate to reach for this repair spray.Due to this being a spray rather than a cream or gel, a tiny amount stretches a long way so you really do get value for money.

Best of all, this product is a natural,certified, organic, vegan AND vegetarian product which is not tested on animals.

Alva Rhassoul Repair Spray costs £11.95 for a 75ml bottle and is available to buy from My Pure.

Yes to Grapefruit Brightening Facial Wipes from my Pure

I received a pack of Yes to Grapefruit Brightening Facial Wipes free of charge from My Pure, in return for an honest review. All opinions are based upon my own experiences.

My facial skin has suffered really badly during the long winter months and is in dire need of having some new life injected into it. Apart from suffering dryness, my skin looks dull, drawn and is currently boasting a few more wrinkles than I'd like to see. It was time to find something to help combat this and that's where Yes to Grapefruit came in very handy. Each pack contains 25 wipes which claim to 'cleanse, exfoliate and brighten' the skin.

There is a tough, plastic central lid on the pack which is very easy to pop open and helps keep the wipes from loosing any moisture once opened ....genius!

Simply open the lid, remove the small seal cover and pull through the facial wipe. I was quite impressed that I actually managed to pull out only one wipe, as past experience tells me that you usually manage to pull at least 2 through at a time! The wipes are a generous size and have a nice textured feel to them. They're thick enough to scream quality, but not too thick to manipulate. When wiping over the neck and face, you can feel the gentle exfoliation and the coolness of the wipe was really refreshing. On the odd couple of hot days we enjoyed recently, I placed the wipes in the fridge for an hour or so before use and they gave some much needed relief at the end of a sweaty day. The wipes are lightly fragranced with grapefruit giving a lovely fresh burst which lingers on the skin. I noticed immediately that my skin looked brighter and felt firmer. you are recommended to use these 2/3 times per week and I found that this was enough to make a visible difference as well as one you can feel. I also noticed a visible improvement in my spots which aren't major but are enough to give me a bit of a complex. These wipes worked wonders on clearing my skin and leaving it blemish free as well as refreshed and nourished.

Overall I would highly recommend these wipes and feel that they made a real difference for me!

Yes to Grapefruit Brightening Facial Wipes cost £3.99 for a pack of 25 and are available to buy from My Pure.
