Name of product: Boo Boo bosom buddy

Price: £18.99 for 125ml

The blurb: “No wonder this is described as good as a bra in a bottle (well, tube!) Here’s our tips on how to feel more pleased with your pair!

If possible, gently exfoliate with a puff when showering then apply Bosom Buddy on slightly damp skin when it’s warm and more absorbent. Apply in upward strokes from below your boobs up to your neck every day.
Don’t neglect your neck! Bosom Buddy acts as a fantastic, firming neck treatment as well as looking after your boobs. For an extra-pampering, neck treatment, rub generously into the neck area before bedtime and let the centella and ginkgo biloba work their anti-ageing miracles over night!

Bosom Buddy’s 100% natural scent of lemon, ginger, mandarin and peppermint acts as a natural pick me up – breathe in deeply when applying, for an instant mood-lifter!

P.S Bosom Buddy actually inspired us to launch Velvet Hands with the same natural lemon scent as lots of fans used it as hand cream they loved it so much!

We source ingredients used in tried and tested remedies and traditions such as Ginkgo Biloba from the oldest species of tree and Argan Oil, one of the rarest oils in the world and combine them with botanical extracts to create UK-made products with modern benefits. Boo Boo treats, nurtures, soothes and makes even the most stressed-out skin feel soft, smooth, moisturised and special

We make sure we use the highest quality ingredients possible. We refuse to include any harsh ingredients in our products so when we say Hooray, we’ve banned the baddies we mean:

No Parabens
No Petrochemicals
No Sulphates
No Synthetic colours
No Triethanolamine (TEA)
No Diethanolamine (DEA)
No PEGs

Even though our products are packed with kind ingredients, as with all baby toiletries we recommend you do a small patch test first. Ooh, and it goes without saying we don’t believe in testing on our furry friends”

I asked my lovely friend Shannon to review this product for me
****************

First impressions: Fantastic packaging (but I freely admit as a not-so-secret girly girl I love anything pink). Looks slightly vintage – I could imagine them in a 1950s bathroom. Will they live up to their promises? Well, it does on fragrance – gorgeous, fresh but gentle citrus fragrance, which for some reason reminds me of childhood holidays in the South of France. I’m loving them even before I’ve used them!

Ease of Use: This product is a delight to apply -, a light cream, sinks in very easily, leaving a soft feeling

Pros: The tube fits in with my vintage style bathroom beautifully. It is easy to apply, smells wonderful, feel even better, and above all, it appears to be living up to its promises (despite my skepticism that any lotions can really lift boobs or banish marks!). I was convinced that there was no way a cream could help my poor clevage, but I tell you what – although it doesn’t give you the appearance of a boob job (thank God!), I would compare the effect with that of a decent bra. Good enough for me!

Cons: None at all

Value for money: I think this range is well worth the money – they are achieving effects that more expensive creams and spa treatments haven’t!

Dulwichmum verdict: ★★★★★

The Fairy Princess Play Tent is the newest playhouse on the market. Easy to set up, easy to move and great to play in. That’s what makes these play tents so popular, convenience and fun is the key. The tent is a hexagonal turret shaped tent with a flat on the top. The tent slots together and is joined with connectors for easy installation

First impressions: This site is amazing; it has everything from super wooden play houses and trampolines to garden Jenga. It is cold at the moment, so we opted for the Fairy Princess Tent and my lovely friend Susanna agreed to review this for me

****************************

Ordering from the site was easy and delivery was prompt. The item was well packaged. The tent itself is actually quite big in size once up and nice calm pastel colours too, it looked amazing in my 4 year old daughter’s bedroom. She was shocked and amazed that she finally had a play house! Her face was a picture, but I played it down and looked surprised in response to ‘Whose is that Mummy?’

Ease of Use: Very easy to assemble and very sturdy once up. This tent is lovely quality and is very well made. It will last forever

Pros: Once in, she loved in, immediately coming back out to ‘get her things!’ Once back in she played with her big sister for hours, opening and closing the door and windows. This playhouse kept her well entertained and she liked being in her own space but she could also invite her sister in too. I can use it to hide toys away for a quick tidy up!

Cons: None, although it could have done with an iron! The creases fell out in a few days. It’s a very nice play tent, a pretty addition to her room, and the children loved it. Getting her to come out to go to bed is the one big difficulty this toy has caused!

Value for money: Yes, definitely very good value for money. I can find no fault with it. Clear instructions, easy to install, nice calm colours and the children love it

This website is super and the item I received is excellent quality, I can thoroughly recommend it
