Beautiful Product
Posted7 August 2014
This is a beautiful product. My cheeks feel like a babies, after using it for a couple of weeks. It doesn't feel like anything I've tried before and there was an immediate difference the day after first applying it. I haven't been able to massage it in, just pat it on, as my skin seems to soak it up.

An excellent product.
Posted15 June 2014
Whey Less has helped me lose several kilos slowly, over a period of several months, and to keep it off and I've only been having it for breakfast.
I have health issues that affect my mobility so I cannot exercise as much as I would like to (and some days not at all) and I have found Whey Less an excellent aid in helping with a life-long weight problem.
It tastes good; it makes mornings easier for me; it helps with cravings and I know that I am doing something very good for my body....and my mind.

Fun and versatile.
Posted11 June 2014
This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks Michelle. I bought a size up because I didn't want too much compression nor did I want to struggle with getting it on and that is perfect for me. The texture feels lovely, it's a great idea and such a flexible piece of clothing. Both pieces have washed up well.

5 out of 5Quality Product
By KimInMelb
from Elwood
Over the years, several naturopaths and nutritionists have recommend a daily dose of "greens" but none of them agreed with me, including the so-called prominent brands. Trying to give my body and health a bit of a lift, I decided to give Maxi Greens a try. I'm so glad I did. Firstly, no adverse symptoms, which is great. Secondly, they have definitely given me the results I was looking for. Whilst I admit I can't handle the taste if mixed only with water, I get around this by adding a serving to my smoothie every morning and the taste is just fine. I'm hooked!

Good Hint
Posted 18 April 2014
Thank you for the hint of adding the maxi greens to your smoothie as I can now tolerate half a teaspoon in my Whey Less of a morning. Taking it in water was a mistake!

5 out of 5Brilliant Designed Tank
By Vic36
from Gold Coast
This is the best tank I have ever owned. It is so soft and comfy to wear all day. Hides all my extra lumps and bumps around my tummy area and it does not ride up. Use the size chart provided to choose your bust size. I am a standard size 16 which is normally 109cm around the bust area. Bella size for a 16 is 106cm. I decided to go up to a size 18 ( 111cm) and found it fits me perfectly. It is not restrictive and is easy to get on and off but still is tight enough for the extra support I need. I would Highly Recommend this Tank in both colours and the matching Cardigan as must have wardrobe items.

4 out of 5Pretty, but... for certain uses
By HappyBuyer2014
from Melbourne
Pro's:
Love the look. Really pretty. (I purchased the Clear).
Great for the beach as they are sturdy underneath, thus offer protection from glass etc., more so than normal sandals.
Nicely made & I expect, long lasting.
Cons:
Smell very *chemical-plastic*. I could never wear these indoors. Also,very, very slippery when damp and on paving, or uneven surfaces. Despite their anti slip embossing on the sole, they have caused me to fall twice on my small front stairs.
Summary: Will use at the beach, but rarely elsewhere.

5 out of 5Especially stunning rose gold-plated side gallery
By NodInAus
from Sunshine Coast, QLD
It’s a very lucky thing that there is no profile picture for this pendant. If there had been, I feel positive that neither you nor I would be currently looking at this computer page, and at this reduced sale price, as these pendants would have sold out long ago.
The deciders for me were the five 5 star reviews, and the one specific reviewer mention of rose gold, of which there is just the faintest glimpse in the lone computer picture. Neither the above picture nor the brief few seconds in the video feature really tell the whole story regarding why this pendant is so special. I hope I can fill this void.
The mundane info bits are that the silverwork is of excellent quality all round, and the fine but comparatively good quality belcher link chain slides remarkably smoothly through the generous bale. There are 14 quality simulated diamonds set in a circle surrounding the slightly elevated main 0.50carat sim. diamond, with a slight gap between, allowing additional light to reach the central stone. However, that’s about where the ‘traditional’ ends and the ‘unique’ begins.
The top layer, containing the circle of 14 & the main stone, is elevated above a bottom layer, which is in a simple fully-open ring shape to stabilize the depth of the pendant. But separating these two ‘rings’, functioning as the outer side of the pendant or side gallery, is an intricate, circular, rose gold-plated band of interfacing hearts. There are 4 groups of paired hearts, and 2 solo hearts, one on either side of the bale. Clasped between each of the 4 mirror-imaged heart duos is an additional diamond. That’s why you can only count 14 diamonds in the computer picture of the top face of the pendant, the other 4 diamonds are to be found in the rose gold coloured side gallery.
Apart from being beautifully detailed and giving the pendant depth - thus further elevating the main diamond, this RGP side gallery is very open, allowing additional light to enter into and out of the pendant. But, and IMHO it’s a big BUT, the design of this pendant allows the main diamond to reflect and refract the rose gold colour from the side gallery, making it flash [depending on its movement & the light source] almost like a Pink or Champagne diamond !
For me, this really is one very special and uniquely different simulated diamond pendant. Its price bears no relationship whatsoever to its quality. Everyone who reviewed this pendant gave it 5 stars. But, I think that I NOW know WHY ! And it well & truly rates 5 non-simulated stars.
