Slim down with Shapers Salads

Advantages: Tasty, healthy and a reasonable price
Disadvantages: Not many, other than a dodgy fork!

...Brought to us from Boots Shapers Range, Tomato & Basil Chicken is just one of a selection of salads, which have been designed to cater for those who are either trying to lose weight, maintain their current weight, or simply eat well. As well as salads, Shapers has a range of about 100 different high-quality food products, including wraps, sandwiches, flatbreads, fruit, desserts, nuts and a wide variety of other snacks including low-fat crisps and baked goods. To make life easier, each product has a label on it, which clearly explains the nutritional values in each product as well as the ingredients, so it is helpful to both dieters and allergy sufferers alike. WHAT DOES THE PRODUCT LOOK LIKE? The short answer is absolutely NOTHING like the blurry image (which looks a bit like some past-their-best prawns in a bowl to me) above. I...

Shapers Sparkling Summer Fruits

Advantages: Refreshing
Disadvantages: Odd after taste

...There's a little Boots store near my house and when I was going to get some Vaseline (my lips were so sore!!) I noticed the drink on the till and as I was healthy eating ;) I decided to give it a try. I bought it for 97p which was a good price for a 500 ml bottle. As well as the Sparkling Summer Fruits Water, Shapers have a large range of other falvoured water drinks such as Shapers Strawberry & Kiwi, Lemon & Lime, Raspberry & Apple & Shapers Raspberry & Mango. The bottle is a 500 ml clear plastic bottle (which is recyclable), which is the same sized bottle of a Coke or Fanta and he bottle top is just a normal screw on lid. The ingredients are on the back of the label along with the nutritional information on it. The whole drink is only 6 kcals and is free from artificial colours and flavourings! The ingredients are; Carbonated...

Shapers Summer Fruits Spring Water from Boots

Advantages: low in cals
Disadvantages: bitter taste & nasty fizzyness sticks in throat

...Happened to be in Boots this afternoon following a trip into town to purchase some last minute school p.e. kit for my son and due to the heat was quite parched. Thought I would pick up a drink to keep me going. Decided upon this one as is a 'shapers' product which means low in cals, in fact theres only 32 calories in this entire 500ml which is not bad considering most other fizzy drinks average 20 per 100ml and juices around 64 calories per 100ml. COST: 90p Place of Purchase: Boots Brand: Boots Shapers Bottle Size: 500ml Packaging: 500ml basic bottle shape with little flower bottom to help it stand upright. Clear plastic, recyclable bottle covered in a white plastic covering with pictures of red berries and strawberries. Text is printed in black on side and in red on the front with main title. Cap is easy to open twist plastic...

Wax Away Eyebrow Shapers

Advantages: removes unwanted eyebrow hairs quickly and easily
Disadvantages: can cause redness around the area

...I have tried plucking my eyebrows in the past but found it too painful and time consuming so i wanted a product to make my life easier. i went into my local Superdrugs and found Wax Away eyebrow shapers with the hair removal products. it stated on the box it was easy to use and perfect eyebrows without tweezing, i thought i would give it a go. At only £1.99 they seemed good value for money. each box contains 3*7 pre cut shapers and an instruction leaflet. i took them out the box and they are in 3 sheets of wax strips pre cut to wax over and below the eyebrow. the instruction leaflet first tells you the important information of who cant use them and warns that skin discomfort is normal for a short while. it also states the erea will remain hair free for approx 3 to six weeks. the directions for use are easy, first clean the area to...

Boots Shapers Chicken & Vegetable Rice Salad

Advantages: Slimming aid & comes as part of a luch meal deal for £2.99
Disadvantages: Not the best, or freshest tasting salad I've had

...In this little review I shall be telling you all about my experience with Boots Shapers Seared Chicken and Vegetable Rice Salad. My experience began when I stumbled into Boots last monday lunch time to take advantage of the meal deal they have at boots. Luch for only £2.99. You can have any sandwich, salad or tortilla wrap with any snack this includes crisps, cruchy carrots, celery sticks, yoghurt, fruit salad or a splendips snack pack as well as any drink - my favs are the smooties or juice drinks. I chose this chicken and veg rice salad as was under 450 calories and looked very colourful in its pack. Appearance: Round rice with a green and red peppers mixed through. The diagonally cut chicken pieces have brown seasoning on the edges and are arranged on top of the salad in a scattered fashion. Smell: Vinegary smell...

Review of Shapers Sparkling Summer Fruits Spring Water

rocks my world

Advantages: smells fabby
Disadvantages: a little expensive

...i have been searching for this stuff my whole life!! i have frizzy hair and even when i straighten it with ghds, it still goes frizzy when the wind hits it. but fudge hair shaper holds it perfectly in place whether i choose to have it curly or straight. plus, it smells AMAZING. the product also stays in until its washed out, which it does easily, but once applied, you can reshape and restyle your hair even after brushing. and you get no white felecks or crumbling of the product, in fact the only giveaway of its presence is the smell! the only percieved disadvantages could be its gloopy texture, meaning you have to wash your hands after use, but it is really easy to apply and the smell makes up for it :) it IS a little expensive and hard to get unless online, but worht the trouble and the money, in my opinion!...

Review of Fudge Hair Shaper 100g

Fudge in your hair?

Advantages: Great hold.
Disadvantages: Not for all hair types as it states. Can be sticky on hands.

...When my brother was 15 he decided to go get a "proper" haircut. In the past he'd just let my dad attack him with the hair clippers, but all his friends were getting all these new messy cuts, so he had to join in. As usual, when they got to the counter the hairdresser went through the suggested products and my brother ended up picking out the Fudge Hair Shaper: firm hold factor 2. I had a read of the back and as well as styling it said it could also be used to scrunch hair. Since I have curly hair I have pinched it a few times to try and define my curls better. Packaging It comes in an orange plastic pot with a grey/silver lid. The Fudge symbol (a black design with an 'F' in the centre) is displayed on top of the lid. There are directions as well as a description of the product on the back of the pot...

Shoppingpuss loves Fudged up hair!

Advantages: Shapes hair and smells great
Disadvantages: Bit expensive and difficult to find

...I'm dedicating this review to carlypussycat, another reviewer here on ciao, who writes great beauty reviews! Since purchasing Fudge Shaper from Slapiton.tv. (excellent customer service by the way) it has become one of my most used and favourite products. I am a bit of a flibertygibert when it comes to beauty stuff...buying brand after brand of stuff then discarding the poor flicked off product, to be later palmed off to my unsuspecting sister or mother! Anyway the fact that my Shaper is still being used warrants me recommending it to you. Fudge is an Australian brand and this product, Shaper, is rated as firm hold factor 2 (Creative Hair Gum 1 being the strongest). I read all about their products before deciding this seemed to be their most popular and the one most suited for my hair. My First Fudge Moment In...

Review of Fudge Hair Shaper 100g

Ooh, Your Hair Smells Nice

Advantages: Excellent hold, smells great, washes out easily, not that widely available.
Disadvantages: Expensive compared with most high street styling products, not that widely available.

...Inevitably the first thing that anyone says when you're wearing Fudge is that your hair smells nice. Definitely the best hair styling product I've ever used, it doesn't just smell nice, but holds extremely well and even when you use it as regularly as I do, lasts for ages. I first discovered Fudge when my mate came into school and the aroma of his hair was the main talking point amongst most of the girls we knew. It turned out that he had "borrowed" some Fudge Shaper off his brother, and he reckoned it was the proverbial dog's danglies. A few years later I found myself agonising over which wax/putty I was going to buy, Dax having failed to live up to expectations,and Lynx Short Stuff Wax being too sticky and hard to remove. After flirting with L'Oreal's Out Of Bed Styling Putty for a while, I remembered the sweet-smelling styling...
