I really can’t say enough good things about Mama Mio products, for how much I sing their praise people probably think I have stock in the company. I have used their products in the past and am always pleasantly surprised when each product does EXACTLY what it promises. No the products aren’t cheap but they work amazingly well and for what you get out of each tube from Mama Mio you will feel like you got a steal.

I had the chance to review the Bootcamp for Boobs kit and was excited to see what it could do. Now my boobs have survived breast feeding 3 kids and the weight gain associated with such miracles. As I have been losing the weight from my last pregnancy (ok so he just turned 2 these things take time, right?) my boobs had become deflated and crepey  not a pretty site.

With the first week of my Bootcamp for Boobs I noticed the crepey look of my boobs had all but dissappeared. Now in the middle of my third week I have noticed an amazing transformation my boobs are back up where they were meant to be. I threw on a tank top for bed last night and noticed my boobs looked good even without a bra. I was so excited I had to run and show my husband “look at my boobs, they are back”! He seemed a bit puzzled probably wondering where they had been. I am so thrilled by the results my skin feels and looks so much better and you can’t help but feel more confident when your girls are perky!

Look what I came across today! While surfing around, I saw an ad for Skin Kiss tights.  Apparently, they are tights that are impregnated with microcapsules of caffeine to break down cellulite. Women wear the tights daily for a three week period, and during that time, wearers have reported a 2cm reduction on each thigh, and their skin appeared smoother!

Speaking about the product, a spokesperson for the UK brand said: ‘The demand that we have seen for these tights is truly unprecedented.

‘The technology and clinical tests have shown positive results.’

But due to the ‘technical sophistication’ of the product, the spokesperson added that the tights – priced at  £25.48.for a pack of three – are ‘by no means cheap’.

These revolutionary tights use caffeine as an active ingredient, which is introduced into the fibre using micro capsules and the body temperature causes them to act on the skin. Wearing SKIN KISS on a daily basis for up to 28 days, it has been shown that the caffeine can reduce the thigh measurement by up to 2 cm and tightens the tissue of the legs in particular. Further results seen are smoother and suppler skin, improvement of the skin elasticity, visibly improved appearance of the skin and comfort.

Dermatological tested. The effect lasts up to 5 washes.

Amika Deep Purple Tourmaline Clip-Free Curler

What it is:

A professional styling tool that delivers salon-quality curls that will last for days without any hairspray or holding agents.

What it does:

This clip-free tourmaline curler allows you to easily create smooth and shiny curls that last without tugging, breaking, or creasing the hair. Unlike other curlers, the barrel is clip-free, so it will not tug or break the hair.

Comes with: a heat resistant glove for you to style your hair and instruction manuals with advertisements of their other great products. The handle is designed  with a simple on and off switch with a turnable handle  making it easy for you to move the cord around. The actual curling rod is fused with ceramic for better and even heat distribution and safer styling.

The results: soft, natural curls that last for days without hair spray.

I am really impressed with this iron, it does take some time to get used to a clip free curler but its worth it. By my second try I felt like a pro and in 10 minutes had big gorgeous curls that lasted until I washed my hair. My hair is very fine , curly and I have a lot of it. I was so shocked that the Amika Clip-Free Curler could leave me with such big soft curls, I am in love!

One trick I found was this works best on hair that is not freshly dried. I like to wash my hair at night and blow dry it then I curl my hair in the morning it seems to hold the curl better. 

Price: $99
Where to buy: Sephora & www.sephora.com All amika™ tools come with a one year warranty.

Disclosure: I was given a complimentary iron to review, my opinions are 100% honest and my own.
