Avon Rare Amethyst Eau de Parfum.

Avon offer a wide selection of scents that appeal and cater to a range of peoples tastes, that they might be searching for in a scent.
Rare Amethyst Eau de Parfum caught my attention because of the name and colour of the bottle, purple being one of my favourite colours. I wondered out of curiosity what would Rare Amethyst smell like?
Avon's rare collection range includes perfumes inspired by precious and semi-precious stones as well as precious metals which are:
Rare Diamonds, Rare Emeralds, Rare Gold, Rare Pearls, Rare Rubies, Rare Sapphires and of course the Rare Amethyst.

Rare Amethyst.

Rare Amethyst is announced as a glamorous, captivating and sensual gem that takes the perfume wearer on a luxury but comforting journey.

Opening with juicy accords of plum, to then proceed to the beating heart of violet, the base brings a richness of sandalwood to help Rare Amethyst be a precious perfume. The purple ombre glass bottle with its silver finish spray head is an indication of what Rare Amethyst will smell like before you have sprayed it, the bottle represents the scent extremely well. On first spray the senses are delighted by a blast of sweet fruity plum which is then joined with a soft light floral, before the sandalwood appears to give Rare Amethyst some depth. Rare Amethyst is a soft powdery perfume that wont enter the room before you, but will instead be your close comfort friend reminding you its still there throughout the time you wear it. 

A perfume that really is a gem with its uncomplicated notes but a must have for anyone's scent collection. 

Rare Amethyst is available as 50 ml and can be accompanied by a body lotion which is highly moisturising, whilst also letting you enjoy this rare gem perfume again. X Neil.

Sensica SensiLift.

I have never had a professional treatment on my skin at any spa or clinic but i do love anything to do with skincare whether that be products or devices, just look at my skincare blog posts. SensiLift™ is intended for women and men who desire to reduce facial wrinkles, tighten their facial skin and renew skin elasticity. The sensiLift arrives well packaged and boxed with some information on the front and back of the box sleeve:

MY PROFESSIONAL TIGHTENING TREATMENT:

Non-invasive skin rejuvenation. Face-lift effect.

Professional results at home.

SAFE - Unique double-safety mechanism.

PROFESSIONAL - Most advanced radio frequency technology for skin tightening.

EFFECTIVE - Long-term and lasting results.

REMARKABLE - Results from the very first treatment.

 The sensiLift™ kit Includes:

A sensiLift™ handheld device:

Massage fingers and electrodes - two massage fingers (treatment fingers) combined with RF electrodes in order to simultaneously apply the RF and massage treatments. Safety temperature sensors are also embedded in the treatment fingers.

*External power supply.

*SensiLift™ Base: Especially designed to work with sensiLift™. SensiLift™ Base ensures proper delivery of Dynamic RF™ energy and best possible results, by improving contact between the device and skin and as a result improving skin conductivity.

WARNING: Using sensiLift™ without applying the base first is strictly prohibited as it will compromise your safety and treatment efficacy.

Dynamic RF™ Technology.

Sensica revolutionises the traditional approach to non-invasive and painless anti-aging with a proprietary dynamic RF™ technology, a combination of clinically proven RF (Radio Frequency) technology with facial massage. SensiLift™ is the only device with dual action, that treats multiple layers of skin simultaneously, allowing you to enjoy more equal and effective treatment. 

Dynamic RF™ Double-Safety Mechanism.

Unique sensors constantly measure your skin condition and adjust the temperature, for more personalised and safe treatment.

Treatment Areas.

The sensiLift™ can be used on the following areas whilst you must use the Sensica sensiLift™ base on your skin before proceeding the treatment to:

Forehead: Place the treatment fingers on the area whilst always moving sensiLift™ up and down working across the forehead. Treatment time is recommended for 10 minutes. 

Around Eyes: Place the treatment fingers on the area whilst moving sensiLift™ in slow "side to side" circular motions. Recommended treatment time for the area is 10 minutes (for each side).

Cheek And Nasolabial Smile Folds: Place the treatment fingers on the area whilst moving the sensiLift™ in slow circular motions across the cheek area up and down over the smile folds. Recommended treatment time is for 10 minutes (for each side).

Chin: Place the treatment fingers on the area whilst moving the sensiLift™ from one side to the other. Recommended treatment time is 10 minutes.

Neck: Place the treatment fingers on the area whilst moving the sensiLift™ up and down across the neck.

The recommended time is for 10 minutes.

Decolletage And Hands: Place the treatment fingers on the desired area for treatment whilst moving the sensiLift™ in slow circular motions across the hands or decolletage. It is noted that because these areas are large, for best results it is recommended to divide the area to sub-areas of approximately 4cm². Recommended time for each sub-area is 10 minutes.

Using And Experiencing The sensiLift™.

I always read any user guide before using any device so you can get the best treatment possible with the best results, knowledge is power. 

The user guide is really good in detailing the device and is an easy-to-follow guide to help you use the sensiLift™ safely and accurately, if you do have any concerns sensica will answer any questions you might have and are happy to help you. Removing the components from the box i made sure the treatment fingers of the sensiLift™ were clean, dry and intact.

Plugging the cord end into the sensiLift™ whilst then proceeding to plug the power plug into a power outlet, the sensiLift™ was ready.

Performing a preliminary test before doing a full treatment is intended to determine your skin reaction to the sensiLift™. This will help you find the best settings for each treatment area you are wanting to treat, 48 hours prior to a full treatment.

Your skin has to be clean and dry whilst making sure it is free from any topical products such as moisturisers and liquids, whilst male users have to make sure their clean shaven, before then proceeding to apply a thin even layer of sensiLift™ Base on the treated area. Starting the test at RF energy level 1 and massage level 1 you can then increase the levels according to your comfort level.

The treatment creates a warm sensation but if you feel any adverse effects stop using immediately. Waiting 48 hours to examine the test area and if there is no sign of any side effects you can then proceed with a full treatment in the highest comfortable energy level and massage level you tested.

It is normal to experience sensations of warmth during the session of treatment session - created by the RF energy during treatment. When using the sensiLift™, i felt a comfortable warmth on my skin whilst the massage feature felt relaxing, adding to the wonderful experience of my professional tightening treatment. I did not feel any negative effects whilst completing the treatment and i checked my skin 48 hours after the test and did not notice any negative side effects when checking my skin. 

Aftercare After Finishing Your Treatment.

After completing the treatment you can then proceed to wipe off the sensiLift™ Base. It is best to avoid any hot water on your face and discontinue use of any abrasive or harsh products that may upset your skin for two days. Applying a high-factor sunscreen with at least 30 SPF whilst also protecting the treatment area from direct sunlight is best recommended for two weeks after your treatment.

You must clean the sensiLift™ with a damp cloth to remove any residue that might of been left from the sensiLift™ Base, in helping the electrodes area and temperature sensors work efficiently for your next treatment. The next recommended treatment suggests using sensiLift™ once a week on each area for the period of 8 weeks. After you have completed your 8 week stage of treatments, you can then proceed to the second stage which is "Maintenance".
Maintenance treatments should be performed 4-6 weeks apart, as needed. I am really excited in completing the full course treatment as i find using the sensiLift™ really easy to use whilst also being able to complete the treatments at home. The sensiLift™ can fit into your daily routine easily and can lift your skincare regime to the next level whilst also being cost effective, than if you had treatments of the same nature at a clinic. 
Experience professional beauty treatments in your own home by visiting Sensica who offer break-through treatments for the face and body. X Neil.

ENERTOR Comfort Insoles - Usain Bolt.

The ENERTOR Comfort Insoles worn and endorsed by Usain Bolt are no ordinary insoles.
ENERTOR Insoles are made with D3O, a patented smart material that cushions the foot when moved slowly, but on impact the material locks together to absorb and disperse energy, before instantly returning to its flexible state. You don't have to be a runner to feel the benefits of wearing the insoles. You may be experiencing pain in your heels or leg caused by poor footwear and not so good insoles. In fact it is stated that 70% of the population would benefit from an insole that offers protection whilst also offering support whilst walking, running or even standing on your feet all day.

The ENERTOR Insole Range Features:

Protect your heel and mid foot and walk on air, or stand all day in comfort. This insole will protect your heel on impact and if you are suffering from heel pain this device will also protect your mid-foot. It will feel like having a new pair of your most comfortable shoes on, which may enable you to walk further and reduce injury.

Wearing The Comfort 3/4 Lengths.

I was sent the ENERTOR Comfort 3/4 Insoles to try and was eager to find out just how great these would benefit my feet and how they would feel when walking on them. 
The key benefits about the ENERTOR Comfort 3/4 Insoles are:
1. Contoured Cushioning.
Durable, moulded sole for improved fit and comfort.

2. Shock Absorption.
Patented D3O technology reduces shock by 44% delivering the most advanced protection to reduce risk of impact injuries.

3. Durable Comfort.
Flexible and lightweight whilst also being designed for shoes with less volume. Suitable for all footwear.

The D3O patented shock absorbing material has been engineered to offer long-term cushioning and superior comfort, reducing potential heel pain and the risk of impact related injuries. It has been proven to give 36% energy return. The ENERTOR comfort 3/4 length insoles are designed to take up minimal volume in any shoe.
The insoles, when taken out of the packaging, feel and look like a luxury insole, with its bright orange colour on the underside and its black textured feel on the insole itself. The 3/4 insole is already shaped and fits smoothly into any pair of shoes you might be wearing for that day, all you have to do is get walking.

Wearing these in my shoes my feet felt comfortable throughout the day whilst my walk felt springy and supported. I have not experienced an insole that can deliver a comfortable feeling all day and keep delivering, day after day!
The ENERTOR Insoles last up to 7x times longer than any market leading insoles which means the ultimate comfort and cushioning power these harness, you will be able to experience for longer! 
Bye bye foot pain, hello to comfortable soles! X Neil. 

Optrex ActiMist 2in1 Eye Spray For Dry And Irritated Eyes.

Optrex the eye care specialists, have your eyes health in their best interests by providing products that really do work to provide relief from your eye problems you may be experiencing.
According to a recent survey we are spending on average more than six and half hours a day staring at our screens whether that be your television, computer or mobile, which can take its toll on our eyes. Staring at your device too long can cause dryness and irritation, which was found in half of the people surveyed.
Dry eyes is a common condition which occurs when your eyes don't produce enough tears or the tears evaporate too quickly which then leads on to your eyes drying out, becoming red, swollen or irritated.
There are many potential triggers for dry eyes including working with computers, dry climates and hot blowing air.
If you are unsure whether you are experiencing dry eyes, take on the Optrex blink challenge! 
Watch the video and stare-off Rodrigo!

If you Blinked when gazing at Rodrigo you could have dry eyes, though you should consult a health care professional to receive a medical diagnosis as the video is not a diagnostic tool.

Show your eyes some loving tender care with Optrex ActiMist 2 in 1 Eye Spray For Dry and Irritated Eyes.
The liposomal spray helps repair the oily layer of the natural tear film which may have been disturbed by environmental factors such as staring at screen too long, air-conditioning or central heating.
The 2 in 1 eye spray also helps to relieve, refresh and revive dry eyes when you need it the most and is bag friendly to carry, when your out and about.
Compatible with contact lenses, there is no need to fiddle with your lenses trying to take them out to place drops in your eyes to then try and put your contacts back in. The eye spray is also make-up compatible and will not smudge your eye make-up you have spent your time applying.

I sprayed the ActiMist 2in1 Eye Spray For Dry and Irritated eyes onto my closed lids and i instantly felt cool, soothed eyes immediately. I really like the sprays better than eye drops as i never seem to be able to get the drops in my eyes, i miss spectacularly. You can spray 1-2 times and can be used 3 to 4 times a day, whilst the spray provides relief for up to 4 hours.
The bottles contains 100 applications and there is no need to throw away the bottle after 28 days like other eye treatments, the spray can be used up to 6 months after first opening. 
Available from Boots, Superdrug and other stores at RRP £15.31, thank you Optrex, there is finally a solution for dry eyes! X Neil.
