Foreo IRIS Eye Massager

The Iris Eye Massager, sounds terrifying right? When I took it out of the box it looked a little bit scary too. There is a quick guide to get you started with a couple of pictures and a teeny tiny printed instruction booklet, the best way to find out how to use the massager is to go to their website and download the PDF for clear instructions. The IRIS comes with a USB charger as well as a microfiber bag, one charge will give you 140 uses so if you use it twice a day (as you are meant too) that gives you just over two months without having to recharge.

Cloud Nine Waving Wand

We had big expectations for the Waving Wand after the fantastic results we achieved with Cloud Nine’s straightener, the Original Iron. Like the Original, you get a few added extras when you buy the Wand: a heat-protective glove to keep your spare hand safe from burns whilst you wrap your hair around the wand, 50ml of Magic Potion (see The Original review for details), and not forgetting that complimentary beach bag.

Cloud Nine: The Original Iron

Cloud Nine is the creation of Robert Powls. Those in the know might recognise this name as the founder of the hugely successful GHD styling product company, founded in 2009. Their philosophy was to create luxury and innovative styling products that are kinder to your hair.

We had the pleasure of testing out The Original Iron, one of Cloud Nine’s most popular products and winner of the 2015 and 2016 Hair Award. We were keen to see what all the fuss was about.

Cult51 Night Cream

Cult51 are the ideal size for travelling and holidays (hand luggage friendly). The 20ml jar offers 12 weeks of use and aims to provide visible and long-lasting results. This multi-active night cream has scientifically advance ingredients at highly concentrated levels and tries to provide over 51 anti-ageing benefits (did you know so many existed?) The active ingredients work together to encourage the growth and the generation of new skin cells, and promote collagen and hyaluronic acid to protect against genetic ageing.

Woods of Windsor Gardeners Hand Cream and Hand Scrub

These two lovely smelling products have been designed to pamper your hands after they have been through a hard day in the garden and exposure to the elements. They have been formulated to be extra conditioning and moisturising, and to help smooth and soothe the skin. The rich fragrance of Blackberry and Thyme is sweet and quintessentially British, evoking the thought of a beautiful English country garden (even if yours looks more like a builder’s yard) with added scents of green tea, rosemary, mimosa, white jasmine, musk and amber.

Macacha Plant Protein Shakes

The Plant Protein Shakes from Macacha use natural plant protein from both raw and vegan superfoods, with a base of organic pea and rice proteins. The two available shakes are called ‘Energy’ and ‘Peace’, containing herbs and adaptogens (used in herbal medicine) chosen for their benefits. Each 33g sachet contains 19g of protein. The shakes also have iodine that is found in seaweed and kelp, which supports healthy metabolism and thyroid function.

OptiBac Probiotics ‘For every day MAX’

Even with a healthy diet and regular exercise, many of us can still experience low energy levels and poor digestion function from time to time. The OptiBac ‘For every day MAX’ Probiotics aim to give you a daily gut booster (not as painful as it sounds). They contain the strains of probiotics that have been researched in vitro and clinical trials and were proven to help gut health. The OptiBacs are sugar, fat and flavouring free and contain 50 billion live microorganisms combining three strains: L.acidophilus NCFM, B.lactis HN019 and B.lactis BI-04.
