I have heard a lot about this new beauty trend so when i saw the bee venom by GIVERELDI reduced to a great price i had to try.
A 50 ml pot greeted me in a box that had some great information on it to help the user if they needed it.
The bee venom stem cell active day cream with manuka honey, royal jelly and hibiscus extract claims to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and will leave skin smooth and plumped.
A patch test is recommended before using this product and if you are allergic to a bee sting then it states, do not use!
Enriched with stem cell extracts obtained from Hibiscus flower, Apple fruit, Gotu kola and Grapeseed, the day cream provides gentle exfoliation to assist in the natural renewal process of your skin.
Bee venom, royal jelly and manuka honey are natural products made by bees. Fortified with these ingredients the formula moisturises, promotes suppleness and firms your skin for a youthful look.
Apply to a cleansed face massaging gently using a circular motion. Wait three minutes for the cream to absorb before applying any sunscreen or makeup.
This does have an SPF in it which is SPF 25.
The handy pot does arrive with a little spatula which is ideal on using, when testing the cream on a small part of your skin.
Now the cream is of a white colour and thick consistency which means u only need a little of this cream to cover a large part of skin surface on your face.
The first thing i noticed is the lovely consistency of the cream and feels very springy when you first put your finger into the pot.
This cream glides over your skin with ease and absorbs really well. Now the scent is a little like sudocrem which i dont mind as i have smelt worse scents in skincare products, enough to put me off that much, i quickly put the lid back on them quick sharp and they then take up space never to be used again.
I haven't used this cream as a day cream but found this cream really excellent to use at night!
My skin feels perfectly nourished and moisturised and the next morning my skin looks plumped with a clear refined skin tone.
You can also use this with other moisturisers to add even more luxury to your skin routine at night.
My only con about this product, I wish they did a bigger pot!
I would say you do have to use a product more than once to see results but on first use, over night my skin felt instantly better! If your looking for a luxury cream to add to your skin routine the bee venom by GIVERELDI is highly recommended.
Just remember to do a patch test first! X Neal.
Simply laundry detergents are suitable for the whole family, even those with sensitive skin.
Simply Pure and Simply Sensitive are soft tabs that you place into the draw of your washing machine.
When reading the packet it does state to use one but on heavily soiled clothes you can use two.
The little soft tabs have a protective film that when in contact with water will dissolve immediately getting to work on your washing even quicker!
Some brands can take up to seven minutes until their soft tabs dissolve making a washing cycle not so great at washing your clothes.
When using both products to wash clothes i found the soft tabs had completely gone in the draw and i waited to see at the end of the wash if these really do get to work and can efficiently wash any dirt, stains away.
You know what its like, especially in a family, when one person plays sport and you have a toddler that seems to find rubbing food into their outfit quite fun.
Loading a washing machine with the culprit clothes to find when the cycle has ended, that the outfits are still stained and your left in a washing cycle nightmare of your own.
I used simply pure and was amazed on how well these cleaned the clothes and yes, even on a quick cycle! Also what surprised me was on how lightly fragranced the clothes were left with, not over powering or a heavy scent but a clean light fragrance!
The simple sensitive i was really excited to use as having sensitive skin i have to be careful what i wash my clothes in. Using a wrong brand can leave my skin itchy, red and just not great at all!
The simply sensitive not only clean great and return clothes to a clean wearable state but there is no residue left on the clothes to aggravate any sensitive skin out there, Bonus!
The simply range is also environmentally friendly when the water leaves your washing machine and also the packaging can be recycled. The products are not tested on animals.
The pros:
1. 24 Tabs to a pack which is 24 washes.
2. Excellent results at low temperature wash.
3. Dermatological tested.
4. No residue left on clothes after wash.
5. A light fragrance that smells inviting.
Simply washing is available at Sainsbury's, Holland & Barrett and just recently amazon. Thanks to simply for sending me your excellent washing products to blog about! Now u have no excuse not to wash your own clothes! X Neal.
Sleep problems can affect anyone at anytime and this can be due to many reasons.
Now from one of the worlds leading producers of sleep medical equipment comes a personalised sleep solution the S+ by ResMed.
ResMed has been helping people with sleep apnea and other respiratory conditions achieve a better sleep, better health and better quality of life.
The S+ by ResMed can help change your sleeping behaviour by providing personalised advice as well as some easy solutions to help you gain a good nights sleep.
The S+ arrives and instantly you are given key information on the box sleeve.
SMART TECHNOLOGY:
There is no need for a wrist band or mattress strip as the smart technology this arrives with, it can measure your breathing and physical movements with ease.
IMPROVE YOUR ROOM:
You can improve your bedroom environment through feedback on how light, noise and temperature are affecting your sleep.
RELAX TO SLEEP:
A choice of rhythmic sounds that synchronise with your breathing, slowing it down to help you fall asleep more easily.
MIND CLEAR:
Clear your mind by recording the things you need to do tomorrow.
START REFRESHED:
A smart alarm gently wakes you from light sleep within a time window that you choose, helping you feel more refreshed.
PERSONALISED ADVICE:
Through monitoring and analysis of your sleep.
The S+ easily can be synced with your smart phone or tablet.
The pod easily sits in the frame and must be situated or placed above the level of your mattress so the sensor technology can monitor your breathing and body movement whilst also measuring the light and temperature levels, as these can affect your sleep.
The USB power cable supplied fits into the back of the pod and the other end into the power supply plug. Before turning on make sure you download the S+ BY ResMed app which is available in the Apple App or Google Play store and can be found by searching "S+ by ResMed". I found the app easily when i searched this in the Google Play store and it took under a minute to download.
Once the app is downloaded, all you need to do is register and answer some quick questions about your sleeping patterns and lifestyle, by doing this you will get tailored feedback specifically for you.
Plug the pod into a power source and you will notice a red light which tells you it is not connected to your phone or tablet.
Turn on Bluetooth on your phone and once you are in the app it will successfully pair with the pod and the red light will turn to green.
I found setting up the pod and also using the app really easy and i was set up and ready to go in ten minutes. To get an accurate reading, the pod must be positioned by being angled towards your chest and also there must not be any obstacles so the pod can record your breathing and any movements made.
The pod being in the frame allows it to be angled and moved with ease, fitting into any set up you have in your bedroom.
Once everything is set up and positioned you are now ready to start monitoring your sleep.
You open the app, tap sleep and answer some questions about your day. It will ask you how stressful your day has been, how much caffeine have you had and how much exercise have you taken.
The light on your phone will dim and your now ready to go to sleep. Once you have woken you select "stop tracking" on your phone or tablet and this will end the sleep monitoring. Its that easy!
The S+ app will then show you a score and a chart detailing your sleep. The S+ mentor will send you a message letting you know how well you have done and if there are any improvements that need to be made. On the second night of results you can see the difference from the results above to the ones shown here.
I think this is a really great product that combines technology to help solve any sleep problems you might be experiencing and it will help to identify what they might be. Thank you ResMed for sending me your product to review.
I feel my sleep has improved and you can also improve your sleep with the S+ by ResMed. X Neal.
Heading to the office in your work outfit knowing you have a happy hour after work can be a little daunting in the fashion department.
You are wanting to look the part in the office but after work, your wanting to achieve a look that doesn't represent you in the same way.
Many ways can be added or taken away to achieve a more casual look to your outfit as soon as you know its time to clock off and head to the meeting place your colleagues or friends will be at.
Depending on what your work attire is, from a suit to a casual but smart look, i will show you some tips and tricks!
If your looking to switch between smart to casual, blazers are a great way to achieve this! Blazers can add an element of the business man persona but recently they have come to the fashion forefront by teaming them with a casual outfit. You could hide a printed sleeve shirt by wearing the blazer around the office but once your at your casual event you can lose the blazer to achieve this.
Sweaters are a great item of clothing that can transform your work outfit to casual in an instance.
Wearing them alone with the shirt collar being seen or rolling up the sleeves and untucking the shirt whilst ditching the tie, are just a few tips for the casual look.
Casual jackets teamed with the formal look can help you in quick time to achieve your casual look with no worries, its all about experimenting with causal jackets with your formal wear and see what works best for you. As you can see these varsity jackets add a casual look to a formal outfit.
Accessories can add any touch to an outfit as you wish. Plus they can be switched or changed without compromising your whole outfit for that day. Scarves can add an instant casual look as well as messenger bags that can be carried or over the shoulder for the more casual look.
One of the hottest fashion trends and quick fix to take the formal look to casual in an instance is swapping your work shoes for trainers! A instant casual but smart look is achieved by this simple trick!
It is entirely up to you as i believe fashion is a choice and your the rule maker. Mix and match different clothing and assess what items work and what don't.
Achieving a casual look from the office can be achieved with your own personal style and in quick time! If your looking for a suit to help you achieve any of these looks or compliment your own style, TM Lewin has you covered. X Neil.
Proactiv+ does more than fight breakouts. It is proven to deliver a more radiant and glowing
complexion, reduce pore size, diminish redness, improve skin tone and smooth the texture
of the skin with regular use.
Effective for those with spot-prone skin as well as those who suffer from occasional
blemishes.
The three steps of the Proactiv+ System combine powerful anti-blemish treatments with
effective skincare ingredients such as glycolic acid, prebiotics, kojic acid and other nourishing
botanicals.
Paraben-free, non-comedogenic, dermatologist tested and suitable for all skin types.
Breakouts are one of the most common skin conditions in the world. In fact, the American Academy
of Dermatology reports that nearly 85% of people experience breakouts at some point in their lives.
Breakouts are mainly influenced by genetics and hormones and are not caused by how you wash
your face. Sleeping on a dirty pillowcase, spreading germs by touching your face or occasionally
eating a candy bar are also myths, suggesting that you are doing “something wrong” and therefore
responsible for this problem. Spots are not, and never will be, your fault.
By using Proactiv+ you can target breakouts before they even happen. Unlike traditional spot creams
you can buy in the shops, Proactiv+ is a combination solution that targets blemishes and blackheads
at the source, and gently exfoliates to leave your skin looking healthy and beautiful. By consistently
following our 3-step skin care routine, Proactiv+ not only calms existing pimples and blackheads, the
solution proactively helps deal with breakouts before they start.
The kit is a simple step by step guide for you to use the products with ease. To see maximum results you must use the products 2 times a day. Once in the morning and in the evening.
The products are:
Step 1: Cleanse and Smoothe
Skin Smoothing Exfoliator
With gentle exfoliating beads, glycolic acid and salicylic acid, this creamy exfoliating wash deep
cleanse, tones and starts fighting blemishes while leaving your skin soft and hydrated.
Apply a large coin-size amount to dampened skin. Using fingertips, gently massage in circular
motions for 1 to 2 minutes, avoiding the eye area. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Pat dry and
follow with Step 2.
Step 2: Target and Treat
Pore Targeting Treatment
Pore Targeting Treatment, the blemish-fighting "powerhouse" of the system, contains our exclusive
Smart Target Technology which helps salicylic acid to penetrate pores where dirt, oil and bacteria
reside while minimising dryness and irritation.
Apply to clean, dry skin. Use a minimum of 1 to 2 pumps and apply to entire face. Do not rinse off.
When fully absorbed, follow with Step 3.
Step 3: Hydrate and Refine
Complexion Perfecting Hydrator
This luxurious, nutrient-rich finishing touch is designed to help leave your skin smooth, supple, even toned,
bright and radiant. It targets the most common problems of a spot-prone complexion while
proven blemish-fighting ingredient, salicylic acid, helps keep pores clear and looking smaller.
Apply a minimum of a large coin-size amount to dry skin. Gently smooth over entire face – do not
rinse off. Reapply throughout the day if needed. If going outside follow with an SPF 15 or higher.
Proactiv+ Skin Purifying Mask: Purify and soothe the skin while reducing existing blemishes with the Proactiv+ Skin Purifying Mask.
This deep-cleansing sulphur mask has been formulated to leave the pores squeaky clean and help
prevent new breakouts from forming.
Contains cooling kaolin clay to help to draw out excess oil, plus antioxidant vitamins and natural
botanical ingredients to leave the complexion nourished and hydrated.
Use as an all-over face mask two to three times a week to refine the appearance of pores. This
versatile mask is also a great overnight emergency spot-treatment for problem blemishes.
Proactiv+ being popular with 20 million customers worldwide and celebrity endorsements from Nicole Scherzinger, Adam Levine, Julianne Hough, just to name a few but does this skincare system provide results? I will be using the products for 8 weeks and will document any changes, good or bad in my blog post.
