Aussie 3 Miracle Oil

Aussie 3 Miracle Oil arrives in two choices, mega or reconstructor, ill explain more what the difference is between the two.
Anyone who uses the "AUSSIE" brand will know just how great their products are and will leave your hair smelling great all day!
The two 100ml oils are packaged in the same design pump bottle with just the labels stating the difference. The directions state on both oils the three ways you can use these:
*Before shampooing.
*On damp hair to help repair the smoothness.
*Dry hair for amazing shine effect.

Mega (Everyday care):
A lightweight oil treatment for fine/normal hair that contains three essential oils for healthy luscious locks. Australian macadamia nut oil, Australian safflower seed oil and coconut oil really does take your everyday hair care routine to the next level.
The oil is clear and instantly absorbed when applied to your hair helping your hair become smooth with a healthy looking shine.

Reconstructor (Intensive care):
A lightweight oil treatment for damaged hair that contains Australian jojoba oil, Australian macadamia oil and Avocado oil that will help repair hair that has been damaged or your wanting to give your hair a treatment. The oil is clear and smells sweeter than the mega oil but both oils smell hair heavenly!

One pump delivers just the right amount of oil to use but you can always add more if you like. The oils really are lightweight so even if you add more, you wont be left with the your hair looking greasy.
You could use the "Mega" for daytime styling and care and give your locks a treat throughout the night by using the "Reconstructor" before bed time.
I am a huge fan of hair oils and use them quite a lot to put nourishment and moisture back into hair that have been coloured or heat styled, these two oils don't disappoint! X Neil.

Proactiv+ why it didnt work for me

Proactiv+ 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.

I was sent the kit to use and blog about my experience to see any improvements or negatives to my skin. I first used the skin smoothing exfoliator that worked really well in buffing away any dead skin cells whilst having a medicated smell about it.
My skin did feel exfoliated and smooth but left my skin extremely dry and felt like all the moisture had been sucked out of it. I like to use products such as an exfoliant and face wash that are gentle but effective or have a moisturising element to them. I can see why and how this facial cleanser would be good with someone who has really oily and very bad acne to buff away the dead skin cells whilst the other ingredients help to improve skin tone, if u suffer with the occasional spot and have normal or even dry skin, this probably wouldn't be suited for your skin type.
Moving onto the step 2 which is the pore targeting treatment that is a facial cream and has the same medicated smell as the exfoliator, i applied to my face. It states only to use a pea sized amount on your entire face which is kind of hard as the cream does absorb really quick before you can move this around your face. The cream also has a mattifying agent which is great for oily skin but on skin that has already lost moisture like mine from step 1, my skin was becoming even more drier. 
I proceeded to step 3 which is the complexion perfecting hydrator and thought, at last, maybe my skin will gain some moisture from this last step, which in any ones skincare routine your last product is your moisturiser! 
The product did glide nicely over the skin and was absorbed really quick but this just did not provide enough moisture for my skin.
My skin felt so dry all day and once i started to feel that feeling, the feeling you know a spot is forming, i knew this wasn't suited for my skin.
A blind pimple which is a hard lump under the skin had formed and other breakouts were appearing so i applied the skin purifying mask. I did like this mask as it did feel soothing on my skin and did bring that blind pimple to the surface in quick time! 
I can see how these products are suited for acne prone and the very oily skin type to bring some control and balance to their skin. If like me and you have the normal to dry skin type and feel your skin needs moisture, i wouldn't recommend this kit for you. You can find spot treatments at half the price that would work just as better. I'm glad i tried this kit because if you don't try something, you don't know what works for you and your skin.

Mouthwash

Suffering from bad breath can be an embarrassing situation socially and effect your confidence to the core. Many products claim to banish this condition but all they do really is mask and have a temporary time limit, till the product wears off during the day leaving you in the same situation as before. 
CB12 offer scientifically proven, long lasting and powerful oral products that u can easily fit into your daily oral care. 
I was lucky enough to be sent one of their products which is the mild/menthol mouthwash in a modern design bottle that would look good on anyone's bathroom shelf.

I am a user of mouthwashes and think they are a useful tool in anyone's oral care and hygiene. I have tried some really great mouthwashes that have been gentle but effective and others that have been a moment of "why did i use this". I like to feel my whole my mouth is clean and my gums have not been irritated by a product. If any product makes your gums feel burnt and causes more harm than good, stop using it and change your mouthwash brand to something that will care and treat for your mouth that it deserves.
The CB12 mild has some really great information on the back that states:
"CB12 eliminates bad breath and prevents its recurrence by neutralising the malodorous sulphur gases in your mouth. The effect of CB12 is instant and provides odour-free breath for 12 hours."
The cap provided is what u can use to fill the mouthwash with and states to fill to the line which is 10ml.
You can rinse for 30 seconds to a minute then gargle and spit out. Do Not Swallow! 
Always wait 10 minutes after you have brushed your teeth before using mouthwash as this will let your chosen toothpaste get to work, otherwise or u will do is rinse the toothpaste away.
It is also stated not suitable for children under 12 and always read the ingredients before use in case you are hyper sensitive to the ingredients.

What surprised me about this clear coloured mouthwash was the lovely inviting, minty menthol scent. As soon as i put this into my mouth and swished it about, i instantly knew i would like this as it felt gentle on my gums and my whole mouth. My mouth felt so clean after use and i was surprised that after meals and drinks throughout the day my breath was still fresh and odour free! 
The 12 hours is a true claim!

*Mint & Menthol (Original) 
A cooling fresh mint/menthol flavour.

vr headset

If your wanting to experience the VR world then you have to get your hands on this kit!
This kit has everything you need to experience the VR world with the adjustable head set which has two side straps and one, over the head strap, these are all adjustable. The straps help you have a comfortable fit when this is placed on your head and your looking through the lenses.
You can adjust the lenses when wearing the headset, these can be found on top of the headset and there is a black slide button for each lense.
I found these really easy to use and adjust when wearing the headset.

You also get a remote with this kit and the remote takes two AAA BATTERIES which were not included. You hold the power button on the remote for about 5 seconds and the blue light flashes, you then turn blue tooth on your phone and it will find the remote and thats it, the remote you can now use.
The blue light on the remote must be flashing, for when your searching for it on your phone using bluetooth, if the light on the remote isnt flashing then your phone will not connect to it.
You do get some instructions with this kit which are pretty basic but easy to follow. If your not sure what to do or need more information then just pop onto the internet and your come across more instructions if you need them.

The phone fits perfectly into the opening tray and the holder to hold the phone is sprung so adjusts easily to the size of your phone and holds it in place securely, i have a samsung S5 and i could experience the VR world.
Also there are some side slots that you can feed the head phone wire through if you wanted to use headphones.

There is loads of VR apps on the play store so just pick one that takes your fancy and you want to experience, just make sure you have plenty of storage on your phone as some apps take up a lot of space and you might have to delete one VR app to use another.
If your wanting to experience and get into the VR world this kit is all you need and works brilliantly!!
It is really comfortable to wear and easy to set up!
