Clarins Body Treatment Oil

Advantages: no greasy residue, smells amazing, feels luxurious
Disadvantages: dispensing is messy

I was given a bottle of this oil for my 40th birthday. Given the price it will have to remain a special birthday treat and I don't think I will be buying a replacement when it is finished. It is great on your skin after the bath, really rubs in well with no greasy residue. I particularly like putting it on the my legs after shaving if they feel itchy as it is very sooting. My sister got into when she was pregnant to help prevent strech marks. She ...
...genetic I don't know. It smells absolutely gorgeous, a sort of minty, lemony, herby (no not like a roast chicken) rather than the usual cosmetic floral scent. I don't like to way it dispenses, though. The opening is about 4mm across and you simply pour the oil into your hands. I set a towel on the bed and nestle the open bottle in the folds to prevent is falling over while I quickly apply the oil before it all runs through my fingers. It's a bit ...

Review of Clarins Tonic Body Treatment Oil

Attack !!!!!!! All Cellulite & Stretch Marks Insight..

Advantages: Really help reduce cellulite, stretch marks and firms you up.
Disadvantages: Price and will not get rid of them totally.

Lancome Slim Success Anti Cellulite Attack Serum, well this is a name and a half. When I first heard about this product I thought that is was just a gimmick that many women and even men would try to try and loose the dreaded cellulite many of us have. If like me you have cellulite you will try anything just to see if it will work, which is exactly what I did. I had never heard for this cellulite attacking serum before, but the sales assistant was ...
...a 200ml bottle, from any Lancome counter. But as time has gone on I have also bought bottles from the internet this does cost a little bit more at 30.50 from www.strawberry.net, but it is much more convenient from me to personally buy online. The serum comes in a very lavish plastic bottle, which is silver in colour. It has a handy pump action nozzle that dispenses the serum sparingly so you don't waste any, because if you are like me you will tip ...

Review of Lancome Slim Success Anti-Cellulite Attack Serum

Hand and Nails - Not Up to Scratch!

Advantages: Great smell ,easily aborbed
Disadvantages: Costly and not really rich enough to be effective.

...generally a big fan of Clarins and took the opportunity to take a free sample when I purchased some other products. I kept it in my handbag and used it whenever I was out and about, I have to say it absorbs easily and smells great. On the negative side its rather expensive and doesn't seem to spread very far, which means that unlike many of their other products it doesn't represent very good value for money. So on the whole you could buy a supermarket ...

...rich and great absorbancy. Clarins have chosen to discontinue this cream and I can only find Super Restorative Cream in stores now which I don't find as good. You can still buy it online or from Sainsburys but beware that you are not buying out of date products. It used to sell for over £45 ...

Party feet, yeh I love to party!!

Advantages: Comfy feet, no lost shoes, cleanish feet
Disadvantages: can be used as suction toy

I actually first bought Scholls Party feet gel cushions at the suggestion of my husband, I like to think it was out of concern but it could well have been embarrasssment at having to constantly carry a pair of high heels around town!! Let me explain, by day I am a very respectable mum, dressed as per ce trainers (for quick manoveurs when little trainee escapee artist legs it), hair in scrunchie ( have to have the all seeing eyes) and doing the mum ...
...night on the rare occasion I love to glam it up when we go for a night out, now it is okay to take shoes off when escorted by husband as they are deignated shoe carriers but on a girly night out???? Now I love shoes, have lots and lots of them ( even though I seem to wear my trainers mostly, logic -none) and on a night out it was always heels, why I don't know as at 5ft9" it's not like I need the extra height but it's all about the look and I think ...
