Initial Reaction: A nursing bra for a yummy mummy. It was nice to find a nursing bra which was young and hip.Pros:
- The bra offers firm support
- The bra is designed to support the entire breast
- The bra offers complete comfort
- The bra has easy drop down cups
- The bra has four hook settings at the back
- The design features an all over mock broidery anglaise floral print combined with pretty lace and beautiful floral motif detailing
Value for money? Yes
Overall Reaction: I really like this bra; it has a lovely discrete pattern which makes you feel feminine and girly without being over the top. I found I had lots of support when wearing this bra and could easily release the clips to nurse my child. The straps are very soft and nice and thick too which makes it very comfortable.
On the back strap there are four different hooks so the bra can be let out or taken in depending at what stage you at with nursing or pregnancy.
Throughout my pregnancy and whilst I have been nursing I have searched for a nursing bra which suits me and I haven’t come across many that do. I found that the Freya Nursing bra ticked all of the boxes.
I will continue to use this bra for as long as I am nursing as it fits really well and makes me feel good at the same time. It washes really well and holds it shape and size. I would buy this bra and I would recommend it to others.

Initial Reaction: Felt really well made and the fabric was pretty
Pros:
- Fits really well
- Supportive
- Washes well
- Gives a great shape
- Nice thick shoulder straps but they look pretty
- Looks great
- The only problem I have was after a while the underwire started to hurt. However that is probably due to the fact that I haven’t worn an underwire bra since I was first pregnant.
Overall Reaction: I really love the shape and support this bra gives me. I can’t wear it all day as the underwire starts to hurts a little in the middle, but to be honest I would probably save a bra like this for going out. Apart from that I found it great to wear and it is nice to find good bras in my size that aren’t dull and boring (38D).
You can also get the matching knickers, shorts or thong to go with the bra

Initial Reaction: This is packaged in a slim black case. It is a good size for both keeping in your handbag or having at home. There are a good selection of colours for day and night use.
Pro's: A great collection of colours, this is all you need for your lip gloss collection.
Con's: none
Value for money: You get six different colours so this is great value for money.
Overall Reaction: I like this collection. The colours are great ranging from nude to some which give you a little bit of colour. The gloss itself isn't too greasy and feels nice on your lips. Perfect for the party season.

Initial Reaction: I was so excited when this turned up in the post. The make up is very exciting and completely different colours to what I am use to wearing but I am really eager to have a play with it.
Pros:
- Funky make up which can be worn as loud and as discrete as you like
- The set contains 7 funky products
- The blusher comes with a brush to apply it and a mirror compact
- The set comes with two bags. The large bag can be used at home as a make up bag and the other is small enough to hold the essentials in a handbag on a night out.
- Two lip glosses in the one tube, so no need to carry more then one with you.
- On the cardboard sleeve of the packaging is step by step tips on how to apply the make up
Value for money? Very good value for money as you get a lot of products. If these were bought separately it would cost a lot more.
Overall Reaction: I’ve always wanted Frontcover make up but for some reason never got round to buying it or lucky enough to get it as a gift. So when this turned up in the post I was really excited.
My favourite products from this set are; the shimmer stick – the colour is perfect for me and goes onto the cheeks smoothly, It also smells really nice; the shadowbase as it is really versatile and the chunky metallic pencil . I really liked the pencil as you can be as bold as you like with it but you can also be discrete. The pencil can be applied really easily and looks really nice once on.
I really like the lip glosses too, the colours are great and it feels lovely on. Actually in fact I love all of the products and am already planning nights out so that I can use this funky make up. This set is brilliant as a gift for someone or even better to spoil yourself with.

Overall Reaction:
Its nice to see a set that not only contains a good size of product but also to come with a razor that you can buy replacement heads for long after the products have run out.
The Shaving gel smells great and is very refreshing to use with its citrus flavour whilst at the same time not being overpowering which I think many products can be. I found the moisturiser again to be a great product which wasn’t greasy and quickly absorbed which I think is important especially for a men’s skin product.
Overall a well packaged gift that I would love to receive and a great addition to the range.
