Lush Boxing Day Haul


Hullo! 

After spending most of Boxing Day trying to get on the LUSH website I managed to pick up a few lovely gift sets! 


By the time I made my order a lot of things had gone out of stock but I was lucky enough to pick up four gift sets that I'm super excited to start using. 


The first set I bought was the ButterBear Tin Set that came with 6 butterbears! 
I love this bath bomb! It's just like the regular lines Butterball but in the shape of a bear. Super cute and great for those dry skin days as they're full of Shea butter.


The Home For Christmas Set came with a 100ml bottle of Rose Jam, a Old Father Time Bar of soap and a pot of Dream Cream Body lotion. I love the Rose Jam shower gel so I happy about having that and I've been meaning to pick up a pot of dream cream. I'm not much of a fan of the soap so I've gifted it to my father who seems to like it. 


The Merry Christmas Gift Set comes with some lovely Christmas Bath Bombs and a Bubble Bar. It includes the Lord Of Misrule BathBomb, Dashing Santa Bath Bomb, Cinders Bath Bomb, Golden Wonder Bath Bomb and the Peeping Santa Bubble Bar. 


The Snow Fairy Castle Gift set came with the 100ml bottle of Snow Fairy Shower Gel, a So White Bath Bomb, a Magoc Wand Bubble Bar and 50g of the Fairy Dust Dusting Powder. 


So that's all I got from the sales!! 

Did you manage to pick anything up?

LUSH - Bar Humbug Bubble Bar - REVIEW

I'm writing a quick review of the Bar Humbug Bubble Bar from Lush.

I was super excited to try this bubble bar, it smells like liquorice and looks amazing! 

I cut mine in half for two baths but I think you could definitely cut it into three peices as it creates lots and lots of lovely bubbles. I was just feeling greedy! 


I instantly fell in love with this bubble bar as I started running it under the tap, it turned my bath water purple and I loved the slight amount of silver shimmer running through the water, just enough to look pretty. 

The scent is strong but not headache inducing, just enough to stay with you through out your bubble bath! 

I'll definitely be picking up a few more bars before the Christmas stock disappears! 

Have you tried Bar Humbug? Are you hoping for anything from LUSH for Christmas?

LUSH Halloween and Christmas Haul

Hello Lovely Ladies! 

I apologise for being away so long, some of you may know that my mother is very ill and I'm her full time carer so I don't have a lot of time in the day anymore but I've missed blogging so I'm going to try hard to write about my favourite things again!
   

So as most of you may know, LUSH recently released their Halloween and Christmas range which I was super excited for! It's my favourite time of year to shop at lush. 

From the Christmas Range This year I made sure to purchase a big bottle of the famous Rose Jam Shower Gel. I didn't bother getting a bottle last year and really regretted it. This year they're making 1kg sizes of our favourite shower gels so I invested in one! I'm in love with the scent.  

The next thing I bought was the Bar Hum bug Bubble Bar which I was dying to try, it's liquorice scented. I can't wait to crumple it up in the tub and enjoy a gorgeous purple bath. 

Next is the Yog Nog Bath Bomb, I adorned the soap last year so I was really excited and happy to see them release something else with the same scent. Everyone's raving about this one on Instagram! It has little melts on the inside so it's supposed to be super moisturising. I hope they release a shower gel with the same scent at some point! 

I also bought a Peeping Santa bubble bar which I've never tried, it's very fruity/sweet scented! It's lovely and bigger than what I expected which is always a good thing! 

I made sure to pick up a Cinders bath bomb which was one of the first lush products I ever tried! It's a gorgeous 'Christmasy' scent with star anise and clove. It also has popping candy! I love to use this on Bonfire Night! 

Next is the Magic Of Christmas Bubble Bar, I was again really excited to hear about this release, it's a lot sweeter and less spicier than I expected it to be but again it's a gorgeous scent that I can't wait to use. 

The last thing I bought from the Christmas Range was the Holly-Go-Lightly Bubble Bar which was my favourite last year! If you know the scent Hot Toddy from LUSH, that's what this smells like! I was gutted to hear they wouldn't be bringing out the Hot Toddy Shower Gel this year but this bubble bar made up for it! It's very big so you can have about four baths and it makes the water bright green! 


Onto the products I bought from the Halloween Range. 

This year they brought out the Lord Of Misrule Shower Gel along with the bath bomb so I made sure to buy a big bottle, it's a really interesting and addictive spicy scent! I love it. The bath bomb is amazing!! If you haven't tried it yet I suggest you pick it up if you pass a store soon. 

I also managed to pick up a Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar which has a gorgeous fruit scent, it's a gorgeous products but it gets gold lister EVERYWHERE! I don't mind though! :) 

So that's everything I've bought from LUSH so far, I'm hopefully going to pick up a few more things from the Christmas range soon, including a big bottle of Snow Fairy! 

Have you bought anything from the LISH winter range? What's your favourite so far?!

Collective Yankee Candle Haul


Hullo Ladies!

It's been a long time since I've posted anything on this blog. My mothers been very ill lately and I haven't got as much free time as I used to so blogging has had to be put on hold for the last few months.

Recently though I felt the need to write about my latest addiction which is Yankee Candles.

I bought my first Yankee Candle just before Christmas called Snowflake Cookie and loved it but since then I've bought many more!



Cappuccino Truffle is one of thier latest releases for 2015 and it smells amazing. It's reminds me of the Thornton's Cappuccino chocolates which I used to buy a bag of every time I went shopping in West Wales when I was younger. 

Smelling it from the jar it seems very strong, I don't know how well it burns yet though. I can't wait to find out :-) 



Another new scent for 2015 Pain Au Raisin is a gorgeous bakery scent. I didn't know what to think about this scent which is why I chose the tart form. I melted it last night though and bought the large jar of it online this morning. It smells so good, my bedroom smells like a bakery right now! 


A few weeks ago I bought a medium size jar of Summer Scoop which I'm excited to burn in the warmer months because it smells like raspberry ripple ice cream! 


Another new scent from Yankee Candle Red Raspberry is a gorgeous fruity raspberry jam scent.
When I first smelt it in the store I wasn't too fussed but I couldn't stop smelling it whenever I passed. If you'rr a fan of fruity scents it's definitely one you should try.



Strawberry Buttercream is a popular scent from Yankee Candle, I've been burning this a lot lately and everyone who's come into the house has commented on it. It's a very sweet strawberry's and cream scent. The smell fills a large room too which is always a great thing, so I burn it in my living room. 



Jelly Beans is an Easter Limited Edition scent and it smells like a bag of Jelly Belly Jelly Beans. Which I LOVE! I've always been a big fan of Jelly Beans so I knew this one was meant to be mine. It's such a pretty Jar though I'm scared to burn it! Haha! 



Last but not least is Sweet Strawberry which I've been meaning to pick up for ages! Its a gorgeous sugary strawberry scent. It will be interesting to see how powerful this candle is, I can't wait to burn it :-) 


Even though some of the time I get my Yankee Candles from a store I also buy most of them on Amazon and Ebay at a great discount so shop around if you're looking to buy one! 

What's your favourite Yankee Candle?

Mine happens to be Christmas Cookie but Pain Au Raisin is quickly becoming a new favourite.

My Top Festive Films To Get You Ready For Christmas



Hullo!

It's still November but I'm already watching Christmas Movies. I have so many I love so I'm going to talk about a few that will definitely put you in the mood for Christmas if you're feeling rather Scrooge-ish! 

First up is Home Alone.

A classic that never fails to please. My brother and I can literally quote it word for word when we watch it now because we've seen it so many times! 



Next is ELF :-)

You can't go wrong with a Will Farrell movie! 


I adore this film, it's centered around "Buddy The Elf" a human adopted by elves, who decides to find his biological father who to his horror happens to be on the Naughty List!!!



The Grinch 

I could literally watch this movie all year round and not care if my family thought I was insane! Jim Carrey is amazing in this film. If you haven't seen it yet then make sure you do this Christmas!


I also suggest reading the book, young and old are able to appreciate the genius that is Dr Seuss :-) 


The Muppets Christmas Carol



Another film that's part of my families Christmas traditions! 

My brother and I make sure to sit down and watch this one at least once in the month of December...shhhh...don't tell him but I may have already watched it once or twice already this year!

So those are my top Christmas movie picks that are definitely going to get you ready for the big day 
:-) 

What's your favourite Christmas Movie?

Christmas Wishlist 2014

Hullo Ladies!

That time of year again is fast approaching and these last few weeks I've been thinking about what I want for Christmas :-)



Topshop Lip & Cheek Set

I've been dying to try the Topshop Makeup Range but I've never had the chance, I went onto the website the other day having a little browse and noticed that they had brought out these cute little Lip & Cheek sets that I think would be perfect for someone like me who hasnt tried anything from the range yet :-) 

Soap & Glory Gloss Crayons Gift Set

I wanted to pick up last years version of this set but never managed it! I later bought Nudest on a three for two offer and fell in love so I'm hoping to finally get the set this year!  

Starbucks Festive Mug

I love a good Christmas Mug to drink my Hot Chocolate in and I adore this Starbucks Design! 

Soap & Glory Kohl Set

Soap and Glory have upped their game this year with the makeup sets and I'm dying to try out their eyeliners so this gift set would be a perfect way to do just that!

LUSH Christmas Bathtime Favourites Set

You may not know this but lately I've become obsessed with LUSH and this Gift Set looks so blinking amazing!!! I'm dying to have it!


Snowman Jumper

You have to have a good Christmas Jumper this time of year and this one from ASDA is so cute! 

Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot Box-O-Blushes Set

I think I'll cry if I don't get this amazing set this year. I've always wanted to try the Benefit Blushes but I just find them way too expensive! This set contains a whole bunch of them for a great price! I'm determined that it will be mine :-)  

Marc Jacobs Daisy Gift Set

Every year I ask for a perfume set and this year I'm dying to try the original Daisy EDT :-) 

 Yankee Candle

Every time I walk into a shop that sells Yankee Candles I spend a good 30 minutes smelling them all but always walk away because of the price tag! This year I'm putting one on my wishlist ;-)

So those are the goodies that I'm wishing for this Christmas!
What have you got your eye on?

REVIEW - LUSH - Cinders Bath Bomb

Hullo Ladies!

Continuing with my LUSH reviews I'm going to talk about Cinders, which was in fact my first LUSH Purchase about two years ago. 

Cinders is a spicy scented bath bomb which has popping candy inside it.


It's a smaller bath bomb but packs a punch scent wise. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to smell the gorgeous spiciness once the bomb had gone into the bath but I could smell it for hours afterwards which is great :-) 

This bath bomb is from the Christmas Collection and will cost you £2.50 



The only thing that may put a downer on your bath is that it obviously turns your water a yellow colour!

I can look over that small fact though and highly recommend this gorgeous ball of goodness. 

I recently became fascinated in creating bath cocktails and I think that some gorgeous Hot Toddy Shower Gel and some Yog Nog soap would go stunningly with this bath bomb! 


Have you tried this one?

What do you think of it?

REVIEW - LUSH - Shoot For The Stars Bath Bomb

Hullo Ladies!

So recently I became fascinated with LUSH and made a few orders :-) 

Due to that I forsee a great many LUSH reviews in my future, here's the first one!

This is the Shoot For The Stars Bath Bomb which is from the Christmas Collection.


The first thing I noticed about this bath bomb was the smell. Its a sweet citrus scent that's addictive. 

Talking to some people on Instagram who love LUSH, this bomb apparently shares it's scent with the Honey I Washed The Kids Soap but I've never tried that product so I don't know for certain. 


As you can see in the pictures this bath bomb gives a spectacular show, it's so pretty and has so much silver glitter! 

It look's like some type of artwork in your bath :-)  



The smell lingered for a long time which I loved and my skin felt gorgeous when I got out. 

I did find that some of the silver glitter stayed around the edges of my bath but they were easily washed away. 

I can't recommend this bath bomb enough! 

Have you tried it?

What your favourite LUSH product?

HUGE LUSH Halloween + Christmas Haul

 Hullo Ladies!

I've made three LUSH Orders this past month since they released their Halloween and Christmas Collections, this time of the year is the only time I really buy from lush so I like to stock up when I can :-) 



My First Order consisted of ;

500ml Bottle Of Snow Fairy (Christmas) Iconic scent for Lush Fans and one of the first product's I ever bought from the brand.

Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar  (Halloween) A gorgeous orange pumpkin with gold luster. Smells very fruity. Not what I expected but nice none the less.

Magic Wand Bubble Bar (Christmas) One of the few products I've tried in the past, smells just like Snow Fairy!

Shoot For The Stars Bath Bomb (Christmas) I've used this already and have to say it gives a beautful show in the bath, I really grew to love the scent too which Ive been told smells like Honey I washed The Kids but I couldn't tell you for sure yet because I've not tried that particular product :-) 

Father Christmas Bath Bomb (Christmas) Smells like Snow Fairy and I can't wait to try it! 


My Second Order consisted of more Seasonal releases but also one permanent product.

Wizard Bubble Bar - Very cute, I've already used it so I'll be reviewing soon!

Phoenix Rising Bath Bomb - This is part of the permanent range but to me smells great at this time of year! Smells like cinnamon so definitely one to try if you're fan of warm spicy scents.  

Cinders Bath Bomb - This is the only other thing I've ever bought from LUSH in the past and it's amazing. Again it's very warm and spicy and it has popping candy! 

Candy Mountain Bubble Bar - Smells like Snow Fairy and for some reason reminds me of The Grinch. I'm in love with it!

So White Bath Bomb - I ordered this because I'd heard so much about it from bloggers, It smells like the skin of an apple to me, a very realistic soft scent. I can't wait to use it and see what the hype is all about :-) 

Golden Wonder Bath Bomb - Another much loved product that is supposed to be amazing when you put it in the bath. It makes a noise when you shake it so that's exciting!

Northern Lights Bath Bomb - This came broken so I emailed the customer care line and they've told me they are sending a replacement. I wouldn't usually complain about such a thing but I've heard and seen on Instagram how amazing this is! Can't wait to try it! 

Reindeer Rock Soap - I was dying to try a soap from the brand so I chose this one, it's smells very fruity and I love it :-)

Santa's Lip Scrub - For years I've heard amazing things about these Lip Scrubs so I decided to splurge and pick up the Santa's one. I have a lot to say about this one so I'll be reviewing soon!



So in the third and fianl order I chose:

Luxury Lush Pud - I decided to buy this one after seeing a video clip on Instagram it looked amazing! Can't wait to try it in the bath. 

Snow Fairy Shower Gel - I bought another 500ml bottle, I know, I'm naughty but it so darn good!

Yog Nog Soap - Oh My God, this soap smells so yummy. I really want to get more but I'm going to force myself to wait awhile! Three orders in one month is plenty!

The Christmas Penguin Bubble Bar - I've heard so much about this little guy that I had to try him out. He smell very fresh and I can't wait to see how my bubble bath turns out tonight :-) 

The Comforter - This is in the permanent line but I've  been meaning to try it for ages as it's talked about a lot! After hearing that it also shared it's scent with the Reindeer Rock soap I knew I had to get it! So glad I did. The smell reminds me of my childhood for some reason! 


So that's my HUGE Lush haul!

Have you ordered anything from the seasonal range yet?

REVIEW - The Body Shop - Special Edition Blueberry Range

Hullo Ladies!

So a few months back I took advantage of a The Body Shop's sale, I picked up some of the Blueberry Range.

Even though the range isn't there right now, I thought I'd review it as a lot of the time they bring back certain lines at certain times of the year.  


I ended up picking up the Shower Gel, Body Scrub and Lip Butter.

The scent is pretty much what you would expect. It does smell like blueberries.

It's fruity and light :-) 




I loved the shower gel as it created some lovely bubbles in the bath! They lasted a long time too. One of the thing's I love about The Body Shop Shower Gels :-) 

The Body Scrub looks and smells a lot like blueberry jam! It's a good middle between the cream and the sugar scrubs The Body Shop sell. The only problem I have is that it contains a lot of exfoliating bits that can be quite messy in a bath tub so I use this while in the shower. 

The Lip Butter is gorgeous and I keep it in my handbag along with the strawberry one!

It's very moisturizing and smells lovely. 


I highly recommend the range and hope that they re-release it next spring :-)  


Did you try the line? 

What did you think?

Birthday Haul - Perfume, The Body Shop + MAC


 Hullo Ladies!

The month of September was a busy month for me! It was my birthday month :-)

I received lots and lots of lovely goodies!




From my parents I was given this super cute birthday cake! It was so tasty :-) 


I was also given this Nails Inc Gel Effect Nail Polish Set :-) 


I knew I was going out for a few meals in the month of September so I decided to buy myself a new dress and chose this one by Alice & You from ASOS 


From my friends Jess, I recieved this gift set from Bomb Cosmetics. It's the Strawberry one :-) Love it!


From my Nan I was given this Photo Frame!

I really wanted one like this for my bedroom so I was so super happy with it :-) 


With the money my Auntie gave me I bought a new Makeup Revolution Blush Palette in Hot Spice! 

It's gorgeous :-)

 She also gave me a box of chocolates and a gorgeous soft toy rabbit.


My brother took me Shopping and bought me some lovely goodies from The Body Shop as they had a fab £25 off a £50 spend! 

I picked three shower gels, three body lotions, two hand creams, a shampoo and a body scrub.

I was also given two three gifts! 

The Vitamin E Face Cream and the Warming Mineral Mask :-) 




Then a few days later with some of the money I had left I made a few more purchases from The Body Shop. I like to buy in bulk and then use them through out the year!

I bought the Coconut, Mango and She Medium Sets :-) 

They had the 40% off code on at the time so they were a lot cheaper than what I would have paid! Bargain! 



A week later I took advantage of the Debenhams 10% off beauty offer code and picked up some MAC goodies. 

Two Pro Longwear Paint Pots in Painterly and Bare Study. 

Three Lipstick in Chatterbox, Lustering and Russian Red.  


I was also given some gorgeous new perfumes this year!

Coco Mademoiselle EDP by Chanel, Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf, Stella by Stella McCartney and Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana.

The Chanel was gift for myself by myself! 

Does anyone else do that? Haha!


I was also given a few DVD's this year too :-)

Wayne's World, which I loved as a kid! The Woman In Black, which is one of my favourite horror movies. The first season of The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air & To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar, which is another childhood favourite! 

So I was officially spoiled rotten again this year!

I can't wait to review some of these products!

 Especially The Body Shop goodies, the MAC stuff and the Perfumes! Yay!

Early Onset Alzheimer's and Living With It.



Hi Guys!

Now I'm no doctor so I'm terribly sorry if anything I write in this post is wrong in some way or offensive to some people. I just want to talk about what my family has been going through these last few years. 

On the 18th of August this year my mother was officially diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's disease.

She is 45 years old. 



My family has a lot of history with Alzheimer's disease. When my mother was younger than I am now, she lost her father, her aunt and her uncle to Early On Set Alzheimer's Disease. In a few short years she had lost a big important chunk of her family. 

It was around six years ago when we started noticing a difference with my mother. I remember her repeating herself a lot and having to write down everything she had to do that day. For a long time none of us did anything about it because a few years before this she had been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and we had been told that it came with slight memory loss. We told ourselves that it was just that, we had nothing to worry about.  

Then when I turned eighteen. I finished a college course and started looking for work. There wasn't much around so I ended up spending a lot of my time at home with my mam. I began noticing her getting worse and worse and one day she left the house to go to the opticians. I remember getting worried because she'd been gone for awhile, I rang her mobile and when she answered, she told me she couldn't find the car. I told her to stay were she was and I phoned my father to go pick her up. He found her easily but that night we decided as a family to go to the doctors the next morning. 

It took them a long time to diagnose her, the doctor we were given in the beginning was useless and we just kept going around in circles. Then at the beginning of this year we went back to our GP and told him that we weren't happy with the doctor she was under and he was shocked to find that they had no records of any tests the memory doctor had given her. So our GP told us that she needed to see a neurologist. It took another six months to get the appointment.

 He diagnosed her within two hours of meeting her. 

Even though my whole family at that point had come to there own conclusion of what was going on it was still a kick in the teeth when we were told. It's funny, even though my mother has been diagnosed with this horrible disease. I have this fear that the doctors are going to say they were wrong and take the diagnosis away. How fucked up is that? All I can figure from it is that at least now we know, I hate the fact that she has this disease but at least now we know what we're fighting against. I would never wish the limbo of not knowing on anyone. It was the worst time of my life. 


I've been officially caring for my mam now for about two years because we realized that someone needed to be with her at all times.

What I've come to understand these last few years is that unsurprisingly a lot of the time the movies get it wrong and you can't really understand this disease unless you see it up close and personal. Until the day comes when you realize that someone you love and respect has lost the ability to write, to drive, to cut up their food, to get dressed or even say a complete sentence without muddling up their words.

So that's all I want to say about it for now, I've kept it quite for a long time. Longer than I should have. 

You know what though? A day doesn't go by that me and my mam don't laugh our arses off. I think that's how we've gotten through what we have so far. She's still my best friend and she always will be. 


Love You Mam x












Eau My Giddy God - Issey Miyake - Pleats Please EDT


Hullo Ladies!

I've been super busy this month so I have hardly posted anything lately but I thought I'd write up a perfume review as I seem to be obsessed with collecting perfumes again! 

This is a new favourite of mine called Pleats Please by Issey Miyake. 

I received a sample earlier in the year and fell in love instantly but I had so many perfumes to go through that I didn't allow myself to buy a new one. 

Finally about a month ago I finished a few bottles around the same time so I made a few sneaky orders and Pleats Please was one of them. 




I bought the 50ml bottle from Amazon for a great price so I suggest having a look on there :-) 

I would call this a unique floral scent. It's so hard to explain because I've never smelt anything like it. 

The notes are - Sweet Pea, Pear, Peony, Musk, Indole, Vanilla, Cedar and Patchouli. 

It's long lasting and has great silage so I've had many complements when wearing it. 

It also develops beautifully over time and I can honestly say it's one of my favourite perfumes right now. 

Have you tried this perfume? What's your favourite right now?

Makeup Revolution Haul

Hullo Ladies!

A few weeks ago I made a Superdrug order to try out the famous Makeup Revolution Brand that I've heard so much about recently. 

It's a new inexpensive brand that much talked about lately and I've heard amazing things about the quality so I was super excited to finally give them a go! 


The first thing I bought was this Sweet and Spicy Ultra Blush Palette. 

It's a gorgeous palette that I've been using a lot lately and I have to say I like each shade! 


The other products I bought are from the I Heart Makeup range. 

I bought the Blushing Hearts Blusher in Queen Of Candy Hearts and also the Goddess Of Love Highlighter!

As you can see, they look very similar to the Too Faced blushes but I haven't tried those product yet so I couldn't suggest if they were dupes. 

Though these are only £4.99 each which is a big price difference from the Too Faced Blushes. 


I absolutely adore all the products I've bought from the brand and can't wait to try out more.

The other products in the first photo are samples from Superdrug that came with my purchase :-)

Have you tried the brand yet? 

What do you think?

EBAY Bargain : Refillable Perfume Atomizer


Hullo Ladies! 

So most of us would have probably heard about the famous travalo that came out awhile ago, they sounded amazing to me as I'm always afraid to take my expensive perfume out with me for fear of them being broken or lost. The only catch was that they usually ran from about £9.99 to £11.99 which just seemed a bit to steep to me.

So a few weeks ago while looking on ebay I found this store that sells something similar but without the price tag. Instead I paid £1.49! 

It took a few weeks to get here but I was so excited when it finally did. It was well worth the wait to me :-) 


I decided that the perfume I would put in it was my Chanel Chance as it's one of my favorites but I hardly wear it because I don't like the idea of taking it out with me. 

Using it was was easy, all you have to do is take off the spray cap of whatever perfume you want to use, then place the Atomizer above the perfume bottle and push down so that the liquid is pumped into it.

 It has a window that shows how much is inside the bottle. 



Obviously this perfume atomizer may not be as well made as the Travalo version, which is fair enough and if you want to spend the money on the real thing then that's great. The way I see it though is that even if the atomizer breaks and leaks it's not going to make the mess it would make if it had been the perfume bottle that had leaked. Also it's not going to waste as much perfume either.

It's been in my bag since I received it a couple of days ago and nothings happened since so I'm guessing its quite sturdy. I've purchased a few more from the site which I'll link - Here. 

I highly recommend them, especially if your a perfume lover like me :-)

 I just keep it in my makeup bag as it's around the same size as an average lipstick tube!

 I've also had a few people comment on it and I've told them where to go to buy them. I think I'll get a few for some family members around Christmas time as it's quite a useful little thing. 

Have you tried these? 
Did you buy the real thing or did you go for the bargain like me?
