pulsin and beond bar review

Beond and pulsin review

Hello girls and guys

Just a quick review on a company I wrote to called pulsin and beond. They are a company that make natural snack and protein bars.From what I have read they are a fairly new company but also I've never seen them in any of the local health food shops. Here is an extract that's been taken from the pulsin and beond website.

About Pulsin'

At Pulsin' we make natural protein bars, protein powders and healthy treats that are as good for you as they taste. Packed full of natural ingredients and organic goodness, our products are free from nasties, high in protein and low GI, making them perfect for the whole family.

Our dream is to...

• Give people superpower through health-boosting energy foods
• Make incredible-tastingproducts that don't cost the earth
• Lead the pack when it comes to product development
• Contribute to a happy, healthy world filled with happy, healthy people

Our products

We use only the most high-quality natural ingredients, never compromise on taste, and never add anything artificial (including GM ingredients). Our range of natural protein bars, plant-based protein powders and healthy treats are dedicatedly designed to:

• Give you sustained energy release
• Strengthen your immune system
• Make you feel fuller for longer
• Support healthy body function
• Boost your brainpower
• Enrich your life

We use a lot of protein. Why you might ask?
Well, your body needs protein nearly as much as your lungs need air. Protein is essential for healthy body function, strong muscles, healthy skin, nails and hair.

Athletes often use protein to build muscle mass and to power their workouts.
Protein is also needed to keep your immune system functioning at full throttle and to fight off infection, which is why it's often used as a supplement to support people recovering from illness.

Adding protein to your diet also helps balance out blood sugar levels, helping you avoid those horrible mid-afternoon slumps. And, as if that wasn't enough, protein can also help support a weight-loss diet as it helps the body burn fat and can stave off hunger pangs between meals.

Our products are especially great for:

• Sports people looking for a pre- or post-exercise boost
• People watching their weightand looking to burn fat without losing muscle
• Children who are hungry between meals
• Busy mums on the go needing a natural energy lift
• Anyone recovering from illness

They were very quick at sending the bars out to me after I emailed them. 

I received 3 different flavour bars: the beond organic açai berry flavour, the  pulsin almond and raisin raw choc brownie and the pulsin mint choc chip protein bar. 

The first bar I tried was the açai berry bar. I wasn't looking forward to trying it as its main ingredient was dates and I'm not keen on them. I opened the packet and was hit by the really fruity smell which was actually quite nice :) 

I took one bite of it but really wasn't all that keen on it but I'm not sure if that was the fruity taste or the texture of it, i left that bar after one bite. 

The next bar I tried was the almond and raisin raw choc brownie. 

This bar was completely different to the first bar, it was much more dense and had an amazing taste to it.even though it contained dates you couldn't taste then in this bar. It actually tasted like a proper chocolate brownie that you would get in a supermarket or bakery. The almonds in it gave it the most amazing crunch added extra flavour. This was definitely better than the first one. 

The final bar was the mint choc chop protein bar. It was smaller than the other two bars at only 25g. I was instantly hit by the minty smell.  

This bar was more like a fudge consistency. It was really yummy and the cereal bits in the bar made it taste even better. I didn't finish off any of the bars at the time of the review but I can definitely say that my favourite was the almond and raisin brownie and I'm definitely considering buying this one again if I can find it in health food shops. 

Here is the link for the pulsin website Check it out and contact them and see if you can try their products.

Bubble tea review

Hello girls and guys 

My blog post this morning is a review on a product that i received in the March pink parcel. 

The company is called BubbleT cosmetics and they specialise in bath and body products. Here's a bit of information from the BubbleT cosmetics website.

"We have been inspired by the taiwanese drink invented during the 1980’s. It is advertised across asia as a colourful and vibrant drink, catching your attention from first glance.

The idea for introducing the concept into a bath and body range came as we returned from a trip to asia to notice the opening of many bubble tea stores across vibrant parts of the UK’s city centres such as London’s West End and across Manchester.

The concept of the drink is simple – it is a tea base blended with a fruit of choice. However, what distinguishes the drink is the tapioca balls that lay at the bottom. This ingredient adds the unusual wow factor to the drink.

We work to the philosophy that our products should not just look and smell good but should leave you feeling good too.

Working alongside industry experts, we have crafted and blended a divine combination of rich tea based infusions, mixed with fruit essence and extracts.

The properties of tea are well known across the globe. Different teas can provide benefits in different ways such as aiding sleep, speeding up blood circulation and even waking you up!

Our extensive research has helped us to combine different benefits offered by tea as an ingredient in toiletries to create a range which replenishes, cleanses and hydrates your skin as well as provide a long lasting fresh smell.

Tea is something which is a part of many different cultures. The British and Chinese are two prime examples of how such a simple ingredient can become a lifelong obsession.

There are a multitude of tea companies who have revolutionised the way we enjoy tea with their incredibly extensive and fragrant tea combinations, ranging from spices to fruits. This has created an increased awareness of different tea leaves, blends and infusions.

There are many acknowledged properties and benefits gained from drinking tea which is another reason for its strong following.

The bubble tea craze has progressively increased since the 1980’s and has branched out all across China, Europe, North America and The Middle East."

I received two pink parcel boxes for March by mistake to I got two different products from this company. In my first box I received the hibiscus and açai berry tea restoring hand cream. 

The bottle is a full size product at 100ml the RRP is £5. 

I am a sufferer from quite bad eczema and was apprehensive about trying this as most flavoured skin care product make my skin flare up instantly, but as I work at my local hospital I'm constantly washing my hands which leaves my skin dry and sore so I took this to work with me and tried it after washing my hands. I was amazed that my skin didn't flare up and it left my hands feeling soft and revitalised. They were also left smelling amazing as the cream has this most amazing scent to it. 

I don't have any negative points this cream apart from when the bottle gets near the end I can see it been difficult to get out but I suppose giving it a good shake will hopefully dislodge any cream that's stuck at the end. 

The second product I received in my second box was the Moroccan mint tea reviving fizzy bath bombs. 

 

This again is a full size product and contains 7 x 8g bath bombs and the RRP is £6 

Again like before I was worried about trying them because of my eczema but once again I was presently surprised by the lack of reaction. 

I put one in my bath and let it fizz up and it made my bath smell amazing and fresh, I was expecting it to sting when I got in the bath but it was absolutely fine. 

When I got out the bath my skin felt revived and moisturised and I was super impressed. Once again I have no negative points about this product. 

Finally I'm so pleased that I got to try out these BubbleT  products. All the products are not tested on animals and are paraben, SLS & SLES free. I certainly cannot fault this company. I've linked the website below so you can check it out for yourself!

New CID nail polish review-colour crepe suzette

Hello and happy Sunday to you all. 

Meant believe we're in may already it's mad. 

Today I'm going to be doing a review post on a nail polish that I got when I bought this months Cosmo magazine. 

The nail polish is by a company called new CID cosmetics and the colour is called crepe suzette. The RRP for this polish is £12. 

I painted my toes with this last Thursday so the 23rd April and its held out really well and only now started to chip so it's definitely held out on its 7 day promise. 

I really like the colour of it as its a really nice and bright summery colour. It looks quite like a red on my nails but in the bottle it looks like a coral pink. 

The only downside to this polish in my opinion is that it took a while to dry as its quite watery so you need to allow time to to wait around for it to dry. Apart from that I really enjoyed trying it out. 

Can I add that I've not been paid to review this product.
