BIBA Lipgloss/Zamac ring
Posted by dulwichmum on Mon 16 January 2012
Name of product: BIBA Lipgloss/Zamac ring
Price: £15.00
The blurb: “This chunky cocktail ring will draw admiring glances with its nod to the iconic Biba logo. The lid slides to one side to reveal a shimmery pink gloss for the perfect pout! It can also be used to adorn your bag as a charm”
“Drawing inspiration from the original Biba themes of 1930’s Hollywood Glamour the collection comprises of a Lip Palette, Eye Palette, Face Palette, Nail Polish Collection, Eyelash Collection and Lip Gloss Ring”
First impressions: I absolutely love the packaging! Classic and elegant in black and gold exposing the ring inside with the renowned Biba logo
The ring itself is eye catching with a solid gold finish. The secret lip gloss is hidden under the sliding lid to allow you to touch up in an instant! The gloss works well, is long lasting and very moisturising and great for a night out
Attached to the ring is a matching chain allowing you to dangle it from your bag as a charm to show it off even more – what a fun product!
Ease of Use: The lid smoothly slides to one side allowing you to apply lip gloss as required. The ring can also be worn with or without the chain depending on how you want to use it. My little one adores it and keeps searching around for it on my bag or finger to apply to her own lips!
Pros: : It’s multi-purpose and a cute accessory. I love the novelty factor of lip gloss concealed inside that gives it that wow-factor. A sweet, affordable gift that any girl would adore!
Cons: I wish the gloss came in more colours! Maybe a deep red or a neutral brown tone? Also, it only comes in one size so it might be worth trying it on before you buy if you intend to wear it as a ring. Alternatively, you can use it as a charm which works just as well and glams up your bag!
Value for money: Great value for money – this makes a super little gift, a really cute and useful little accessory
(due to the fact that it comes in just one size and one colour, but to be fair, the colour and size are perfect for me so perhaps I should give it 5 out of 5?)

Name of product: Rose & Co – Rose Water Bath Melts Gift Box
Price: £12.00 (Box of 4)
The blurb: “A cute mini cake box containing four handmade Rose scented bath melts. Add to a warm bath and relax, the melt will dissolve and sparkle gently, releasing shea & cocoa butter to soften the skin and impart a delightful fragrance to your bath” , suitable for all skin types
First impressions: The first thing I noticed was the voluptuous rose scent, seeping through the packaging before I even even opened it (prrr)
The pretty and feminine, cake-box-style packaging contains four “bath melts” that are cleverly crafted shaped into tiny cupcakes complete with individual cases and decoration – adorable
Can’t wait to try them out!
Ease of Use: Very easy to use, just pop one in a warm bath before you step in and watch it get to work!
Pros: The scent fills the bathroom with its sensuous aroma before you even step in, and the product moisturises the skin leaving it smooth and silky! They dissolve very quickly (including the rose decoration on top!) and only one is required for a total pampering (sigh)
TOP TIP: Instead of storing them in your bathroom cupboard, open the lid and pop the box in your wardrobe or lingerie drawer – far nicer than a drawer liner or scented sachet!
Cons: I absolutely love this product and think this product makes the most amazing treat (sans calories!). I would highly recommend them! They do look good enough to eat though, so be sure to keep this product out of the reach of little ones
Value for money: A steal!
