This is the abgymnic muscle toner.

Advantages: Very cheap to buy, Works great!
Disadvantages: Looks a bit cheap, only a small pot of gel included

...If any of you out there watch commercial's on TV when there is nothing on, which usually with sky and cable there isn't then you may have already seen this product advertised. Its the ABgymnic electronic gymnastic device. It uses the same technology as the rio belt but a fraction of the cost. Sceptical as i am, i saw this product advertised on TV, they showed people using this belt that contracts your muscles and then relaxes them, without any effort on your behalf, now i could see that as the ladies and gents in the commercial were using it their stomach muscles were really contracting hard, i thought they were putting it on, how i was wrong. So a few months after seeing the advert and really i had forgoton about it, i had signed up on ebay. There it was, on the featured list, the abgymnic muscle toning belt... £6.50 inc P+P? I...

Review of Rio Slim gym Muscle Toner

An expert toner

Advantages: Gentle
Disadvantages: None for me

...Boots expert sensitive toner I like the Boots expert range and find they suit my skin and cause no nasty reactions, so when this was on special offer at half price I naturally bought it. The Hypoallergenic toner has been specially formulated for sensitive skin and contains aloe vera to soothe the skin. It will apparently sweep away the last traces of make up so that skin is clean and ready for moisturising. It is frangrance and lanolin free and dermatologically tested so i am ready for something very gentle as promised. PRODUCT AND PACKAGING... The lotion comes in a 200ml plastic bottle which like all of the Boots Expert range is quite simple and not at all fancy with the bottle being clear and instructions and information on the back of the bottle. The screw on/off lid reveals the toner which As expected, is completely...

Review of Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Refreshing Toner

Great product but not without flaws

Advantages: Really works at toning muscles, great incentive to exercise
Disadvantages: sticky pads not sticky enough, intensity control too sensitive, can cause bruising

...This is a great product and really works, however there are some serious flaws that the potential buyers needs to be aware of. The first flaw is that the sticky pads are not very sticky at all and only work for one use before just failing to adhere to the arms. The instructions suggest wetting the pads with water and this does indeed make them a little more sticky, but not enough to stick to my arms for more than a few seconds. I have found a way around this as I own a Rio Slim Gym, that comes with adjustable straps, so I simply use 2 straps on a tight setting to secure the pads in place and this seems to work very well. Anyone not owning a Slim Gym could probably make their own straps out of fabric and velcro, or even just use large rubber bands to hold the pads in place. The second problem is that the intensity control is very...

Review of Rio ARM Toner

Elemis Soothing Apricot Toner

Advantages: soothes, rebalances pH levels
Disadvantages: Can be considered expensive

...approach to skincare has led them to blend medical grade plant and marine actives, nurturing Milk Proteins and clinically proven skin compatible bases for theraputic products with serious results. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why I brought this product ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had a facial at an Elemis Spa, it was lovely, the best facial I've ever had. This is why I have been such a religious user of Elemis products. After the facial, the therapist sat down with me and gave me a list of products she had used on me, and recommended products. As the products were quite expensive and I didn't already use a cleanser and toner I thought I would start with them, so I purchased both the suitable cleanser and toner from the salon - Soothing Camomile Cleanser and Soothing Apricot Toner. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What the product looks like...

Find Redemption in Rio

Advantages: Breathtaking views over a sprawling, stunning city.
Disadvantages: Can be very crowded.

...At risk of expounding a horrible cliché, Rio de Janeiro is very much a city of vivid contradictions - sharp cleavages between rich and poor, favelas and gated compounds, hectic city life and remarkable natural beauty, all mixed-up and poured out across the myriad bays and hillsides of this corner of south-east Brazil. Perhaps this close intermingling of the many facets of Rio life create its very individual brand of chaotic, visceral charm - however, when in the midst of the city, it can be hard to get a bit of perspective. Of course, the famed beaches offer some respite from the manic pace of the streets, but the best way to step back from the city and appreciate the scale and beauty that one loses sight of from close-range is to go upwards. Corcovado, at some 700-odd metres, is one of the taller peaks around and amongst which Rio...

Review of Corcovado, Rio de Janeiro

It's simply a toner!

Advantages: great clean feeling, sooths spots
Disadvantages: has no effect on pore size

...Having fallen in love with simple's light daily moisturiser I decided to try the travel size toner. Now bearing in mind I had never used a toner before (sorry to all those girls screaming!) I really love this product! I am now hooked and use it twice daily and I am disgusted that I didn't use toner before! For all of you who don't... you better start! For years thinking that after I had washed my face all the dirt was gone, imagine my disbelief when I used this toner and discovered all the makeup and dirt that was STILL on my face! This leaves my face feeling sooooooo clean! I love it. It's also packed with great ingredients that are fabby for your skin, such as witchhazel, I've never been a spotty person but we all get the odd few and this really helps to sooth and combat breakouts. However my only problem is that I didn't notice any...

Review of Simple Soothing Toner

Oki toner cartridge - Professional, excellent quality printing.

Advantages: Professional quality. Simple to change, good colour
Disadvantages: Expensive, not sure if it is recyclable

...I have been using the Oki toner cartridges for apporximately 12 months. In my opinion the quality is fantastic, clear and precise. When a notice pops up telling me to replace the cartridge it can be ignored for quite a considerable time, even when running low on certain colours I have still found that the quality is good. When the time comes that the colour reproduction is not good enough then as long it is not for an important document I have found that by just simply removing the cartridge, shaking it about a bit and replacing it, it can bring the colour back to life and will add extra life to it.On the whole I feel it produces professional print quality. I think it is an expensive item but have not compared the longevity against an alternative product....

Review of OKI toner cartridge (43324422)

Spritz-on Toner For All Skin Types

Advantages: Leaves skin feeling really fresh and cool, soft and smooth, doesn't dry or strip skin
Disadvantages: Doesn't soothe the skin

...I bought this on recommendation from my beauty therapist. This is not something I would normally do, especially as I don't really like the Dermalogica range, but knowing the damage that alcohol based toners that you put on cotton wool and swipe across your face can do, this sounded like a good investment. It costs around £20 for a 250ml bottle, but as usual shop around and you may find it cheaper. Dermalogica say this refreshing blend of ingredients gives you critical hydration. It contains Lavender extract to soothe and purify, Balm Mint and Aloe Vera to cool and soften, extracts of Arnica and Cucumber to refresh and condition and moisture-binding proteins to allow for more efficient moisture absorption. It's suitable for all skin types. It comes in a white cylindrical bottle with a grey spray top. The spray gives a nice 'spritz...
