Cherry Vimto and Vimto Lolly

I have had so much fun trying out all the Vimto goodies I was sent.......and i've had a few extra visitors to my house since I got them too!
Next for me to try was the New Cherry Vimto. I started with the can and I have to say that i'm not usually a big fan of cherry flavoured drinks but this left me wanting more! There was just the right amount of fizz and it wasn't too gassy (not sure if that's a word but hey, we all make mistakes lol). It still had the same distinct Vimto flavouring but with the added hint of cherry.....and it was delicious!! There was actually a fight for these cans in my house, but for a change, I got there first! My kids were next in line and they both told me in no uncertain terms, that I HAD to buy some more......guess that's me told eh! My other half wasn't keen on trying it at first as he's always loved Vimto and was a little unsure but I convinced him to try and that was the last I saw of that can. I guess he liked it!
Now for the Cherry Vimto which had to be diluted. Personally, I wasn't so keen on this as a juice but it did quench my thirst. My other half and my kids all thought it was extremely nice and managed to finish most of the bottle within 2 days...they left me just enough to try it hot.
I wasn't really looking forward to it much but thought i'd give it a go anyway, and i'm so glad I did. The smell was the first thing that hit me and it smelled gorgeous. You could pick out the cherry without too much trouble and the spices in Vimto really stood out....I absoutely loved it! Full of flavour and for me, it worked wonders for my blocked nose. Definately will be buying again.
I was really looking forward to trying the lolly....i'm such a big kid! Again, I wasn't disappointed. This was so full of flavour and unlike some lollies, it wasn't 'sharp' when I bit it and the flavour lasted through to the very end. It managed to keep my kids quiet for a good half an hour....heaven!
So far, i've already added everything i've tried to my shopping list and I am so impressed. If you like Vimto, then you're sure to like all other Vimto products out there too....and there's plenty of them!

Vimto Fizzy Rip Roll & Vimto Carton

As you'll know from my earlier post, I was sent some fab goodies from Vimto for review. If you're on twitter, why not follow them.....just click here!
The first things I decided to review were the Fizzy Rip Roll and a carton of still Vimto...I couldn't resist the fizzy roll! WOW, I certainly wasn't disappointed. This was absolutely delicious and had the distinctive traditional Vimto flavouring. I was quite surprised by how much was on the roll, it seemed to last forever. Yes, it did make my eyes water and there were a few funny faces pulled during eating, but I have to say that I absolutely loved it!! My kids and other half were dying to get in on the action too so of course, I shared (not that I wanted to mind you)! Full marks all round.....definately one to buy again!
The carton of still Vimto was also spot on, not too weak and not too strong but packed with that fantastic unique Vimto flavouring and it was just the right size too....ideal for those packed lunch boxes! It was also nice to see that the straws were still attached to the cartons, well done Vimto!

Braun Silk-épil 7 Dual Epilator Week 3

Well hello you lovely lot! Another week has just flown by and it's that time already......week 3 of my epilation! Sorry this post is a little later than normal but I had a pretty hectic weekend (i'll probably blog about it later)!
I did my epilation on Wednesday and, like last week,  I took my music in the bathroom with me. I have to say that the whole process is becoming much easier, especially since I now know what to expect. Same routine....soak in the bath for a few minutes, apply the Gillette gel then away I go. This time however, the pain was only slight and I actually quite enjoyed the whole experience....it was pamper time for me!
After epilation, I applied my Palmers Coconut moisturiser which soothed my legs and the little red pimples which normally appear were much less than prominent.
Before I started using the epilator I shaved my legs every 2 days. Since using it, i've only been epilating once a week (as instructed) and I have to say, the hair growth seems to be slowing....HOORAY!!
So far, so good then. I can't express how impressed I am with this and i'm already not sure whether I could go back to shaving!
It is recommended to epilate weekly for the first 3-4 weeks, I personally may continue for about 5-6 weeks before doing less often but everyone's different so go by your own instincts.
Okay, thats it for another week, although the next post may seem to come quite quickly  as it's only 2 days till I need to use it again! Please keep a lookout and thanks for continuing to read.

I received the Braun Silk-epil Dual Epilator for review as part of a BzzCampaign and this post is based on my own thoughts and opinions but remeber, not everyone's the same, your own may differ!

Vimto - Upcoming Reviews

I've been sent a fabulous selection of products to sample and review from Vimto. Before I begin reviewing, I thought i'd share a pic of what I received.....

As you can see, there's a whole range of products and i'm really looking forward to getting stuck in and trying them out.......it's probably no surprise that my kids are keen as mustard to try these too!
Here's a pic of each different product laid out so you get a good idea of what's there....

From left to right we have: Sugar Free Fizzy Vimto, Bottle of Still Vimto ready mixed, Carton of Still Vimto ready mixed, Original Vimto to dilute, Cherry Vimto to dilute and a can of Cherry Vimto.
In the forefront of the pic are a Vimto Fizzy Rip Rol (left), Vimto Lolly (right) and a packet of Vimto Tongue Ticklers.....phew, time to take a breath!


My kids were quick to lay claims to some of this, they've each taken a carton of still Vimto and a Fizzy Rip Roll into school today so i'll be hounding them for opinions when they get in.....and of course i'll have to try them myself, for review purposes you understand!
Keep an eye open for the upcoming reviews.....first one will be up tomorrow!

Glam'Eyes Quad Eyeshadow

Another Rimmel London Mission for me....this time it's Glam'Eyes Quad Eye Shadow in shade 02 State of Grace.
It's difficult to see from the pic but the colours are really bright and vibrant so I was looking forward to trying this one! There's a handy little diagram on the back of the quad showing how to achieve 2 different looks - one's a 'subtle' look using 3 of the colours and the other is the 'London' look using all 4 colours.....perfect for those of you who don't know how best to apply, like myself!
I decided to go for the 'London' look using them all and here's the results:

I have a medium skin tone and found it hard to get the colours looking as bright as the do in the tub despite putting quite a bit on. The shadow itself felt nice and light and lasted all day without me having to reapply. I was disappointed with how pale it looked, especially after seeing the advert, so decided to try it out on my oldest daughter as she has really pale skin. Here's a pic:

As you can see, it didn't really make much difference although it is a little brighter! Overall, I probably wouldn't buy this myself due to the lack of vibrancy but I loved the feel of it on my skin and the fact that it was long lasting.
For more information on Glam'Eyes Eyeshadow visit Rimmel London you can also check out the other colours available and, as always it is available to buy from Boots and Superdrug as well as others!
