Choosing to wear contacts or glasses is a personal preference.
You might like to wear glasses and contacts, obviously not at at the same time, to suit your mood or daily task where glasses are not convenient.
Beginners to contact wearing pros's, finding contacts at a reasonable price whilst also stocking your prescription can be an eye watering frustrating task.
Now you can find contacts that suit your specific needs at
contactlenses.co.uk who offer many well known brands and also different contact lens types at a reasonable and affordable price.
I was kindly sent the Freshlook Colourblends in True Sapphire and also the Renu all in one starter pack for sensitive eyes.
Once you have chosen your superb contact lenses you are updated from the moment you order to the dispatch of your lenses, keeping the customer informed is great customer service!
Your lenses arrive in 2-3 days and nicely packaged in a convenient letter box sized package, just in case your out the package will fit through your letter box.
Inside is a receipt with handy do's and don'ts printed on the back, your lenses which are clearly labelled and sealed tight keeping them safe and clean, ready to be opened.
Now being a novice with contacts and also having a slight squeamish feeling when it involves eyes, i was really eager to find out just how easy it is to put the contacts in and take them out.
I have watched family members put contacts in and the process of keeping them clean, it really is important to keep contacts clean at all times and your hands! The Renu starter pack offers a storage case to store the lenses in and also the cleaning solution to help keep your lenses clean and eye friendly.
The Freshlook Colorblends were really easy to to handle and apply to the eyes and more importantly so comfortable to wear.

Facial Cleansing Brush
The 4D HailiCare facial brush arrives lovely in a box that keeps the brush safe with all its attachments.
In the box is the brush, brush stand, a brush head and a puff head.
The two brush heads also have a transparent head that covers the heads, when not in use, to keep the brush heads clean and safe.
The brush requires two AAA batteries that are not included and to insert these, you twist the handle off anti-clockwise and the battery compartment is revealed. You twist the handle back on which does go back on tightly and securely making this device WATERPROOF so you can use in the shower. The heads snap on and off the brush and are really easy to remove and put back on the brush itself.
The power button which is silver and in the middle of the device pushes in and stays in when using the facial cleansing brush and to turn off, you press the power button again and the button is pushed out, turning the device off.
The brush is really gentle but effective and is so soft to use. You have to wet the brush head first before use and you can either apply your cleanser to the brush head or your face, both ways are effective in cleansing the skin.
When i have finished using the brush, i rinse under the tap and gently dry with a towel removing excess water from the brush. I then apply the transparent shield to protect the brush head till the next time i use it.
The puff head is very soft and spongy exactly like a high quality make-up sponge. You can use this to achieve a natural make-up look as it smooths and absorbs any make-up, great if you have applied too much!
I use this brush when i have slathered on lots of moisturiser for a night time skin treat and i find that my skin absorbs the moisturiser a lot better when I'm doing this. To clean the brush i run under the tap, dry with a towel gently and its good to go for the next time i use it.
This brush boasts of 4D three-dimensional movements where the brush head moves from left to right at a 15 degree angle and also the brush head vibrates up and down. This combination will leave your skin better cleansed and protected.
The brush and its heads are great for effective cleansing of your skin and more importantly this brush is quite gentle but with effective results.
It is also really easy to change the heads and to keep all its attachments clean.
The holder is another great addition for when u have finished with the brush and it doesn't take up much room for when u want to store it in the bathroom or your bedroom, for its next use.
I'm a novice to the whole facial cleansing using a brush and there are a lot of different brushes available, but for now i'm enjoying using this brush and so is my skin. X Neil.

gold face serum

Adding serums to your skincare routine means not only are you layering products to achieve and help your skin but the serums will help take your moisturiser deeper into your skin, Doubling the effects and benefits to your skin. Uskincare 24k gold foil facial serum with vitamin c and hyaluronic acid has all the information you need on the box and the directions state to use morning and evening and to apply to your face, neck and chest.
The description of this skin loving serum reads:
"It is rich in Water, Plant Collagen,vitamin E ,vitamin c,vegetal and so on. It illuminates and brightens the skin immediately while rapidly diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The vitamin E and C are powerful anti-oxidants and readily utilised by the skin cells to protect against damaging free radicals. It helps your skin to repair itself and gives your skin a youthful and white, ultra smooth, glowing look with a citrus aroma. It also can protects against damaging free radicals and quickly adsorbs dirt and comedones."
Added benefits are:
*Increase collagen production in the skin.
*Brighten and tighten the skin.
*Reduce the effects of negative sun exposure.
*Help skin repair itself.
The bottle is absolutely stunning! The clear bottle instantly shows of the contents of this serum to its full potential with the gold foil sparkling.
The silver around the neck of the bottle and the silver top, gives this product an elegant but sophisticated appeal.
To access the product you unscrew the top and a glass dropper still attached to the cap is revealed.
On top of the lid is a button and it sucks the product up into the glass dropper and when you want to use the product, you press the button again and its drops the product onto your finger tips or palm of your hand.
I always apply serums to damp skin as it is recommended that damp skin is more permeable than dry skin. After you have cleansed or used a toner, i apply serums with the palm of my hands to activate the ingredients your serum might include.
The serum is clear with the gold flecks adding the glamorous touch to the serum and there is a faint scent of citrus which is barely detectable.
A little of this serum does go a long way and glides over skin effortlessly. As soon as this is applied to the skin you can feel the nourishing and moisturising benefits this serum packs!
It instantly is absorbed but doesn't feel sticky and no residue is left behind and your left with super soft skin that feels and looks non greasy!
This serum is a dream to use and you can instantly feel the benefits to your skin on first use!
If your looking to add something extra to your skincare routine i would highly recommend this serum to use, before you apply any other product.

Nicki Minaj The Pinkprint Eau De Parfum
The fourth official fragrance from Nicki Minaj and seventh if you have collected them all, was released in 2015 and is named
The Pinkprint, carrying the same name as Minaj's latest album offering to her fans.
The box has the same front cover as the album "The Pinkprint" which some may say isn't really creative, I would say least you know your be able to spot the perfume in the shop and relate it to which i find a clever marketing ploy! The back of the box has miss Minaj striking a pose with a preview of the bottle inside.
Anyone who has purchased a scent by Nicki will know her scents have a characterchure with the bottle being the body and the spray head cover being a figurine head with different coloured hair.
I like this aspect from Nicki's scent range. I think it adds an element of fun and uniqueness that sets itself apart from others in the scent market.
The notes in The Pinkprint are:
OPENING:
Bergamot, Pink Grape fruit, Passion fruit.
HEART:
Nectarine, Frangipani, Orange Blossom,
Heliotrope and Roses.
BASE:
Coconut, Driftwood Accord, Sandalwood
Patchouli and skin musk.
First off, this is completely different to any other Nicki Minaj scent in her range. It certainly is unique in the sense you cant categorise it straight away like her previous scents with the labels, sweet or musky. The Pinkprint possesses a talent that takes you on a journey when this scent transitions through its wonderful stages as its merges notes together effortlessly.
On first spray you do get the sweetness of a mixture of passion fruit, orange blossom and hints of roses, then the scent transitions into a lightly sweet floral with some added coconut and musk, whilst the warm patchouli adds the depth to this scent.
You do get a nice clean scent with interesting notes and The Pinkprint doesn't feel a heavy scent which is great as you don't want to be wearing a headache inducing cloying scent, to ruin your day. What is also great is this scent lasts, i have even smelt The Pinkprint the next day from my coat!
If your looking for a unique scent that is different but exceptional, i highly recommend
"The Pinkprint". Well done miss Minaj. X Neil.

Adding one of these t-shirts into your style is easy as each one will look good with a bomber, denim or leather jacket.

Mob London offer a wide range of ipad sleeves to keep it safe and they are also very unique! Made from upcycled old truck tarpaulins each one is completely different with its own character and with added soft felt inside, you know your ipad will be kept safely inside.
Everyone has a hat in their collection, don't they? Mobs London offer two hats that should be in any young mans wardrobe. The beanie hat which can be worn casually, think the gym or tracksuit attire or teamed with a leather jacket, a Mobs London tshirt, jeans and a shoe of your choice.

lynx daily fragrance
Lynx who's famous adverts show the guy using their deodorant's to attract women when used, have now released their daily fragrances!
Three to choose from that match your unique style and look of that day and the fragrances are suitable for all age groups, not just the teenager!
(Refines your style)
(Express your style)
(Refresh your style)
Anything with musk in and present on the box draws my attention so i chose the adrenaline that is iced musk with ginger.
The packaging is quite sleek and mysterious with just a black box with Lynx present on the front detailing which fragrance is which. The boxes are colour coordinated to each of the individual fragrances, red being the adrenaline.
The bottle, which isn't really a bottle as looks like any other Lynx deodorant's can, is gas free making this a precision pump spray. It does state on the side of the box they have put three times more fragrance in these daily fragrances so they last longer.
One spray on the neck, body and wrists is all you need to experience these stylish scents.
I found a tester of the adrenaline on the shelves of the shop and i can honestly say one spray is all you need. One spray on the wrist and the whole aisle of the shop was filled with this unique but friendly scent. A soft sweet musk with a kick of masculine ginger that lifts your senses. I found this fragrance lasted all day and wasn't headache inducing or cloying. I'm actually really surprised at how well this smells and lasts. Great job Lynx!
