Massage Creams and Oils

Advantages: Smells lovely, not expensive, works!
Disadvantages: none

I bought this from Boots after receiving a voucher for a half price tub. I was about 12 weeks pregnant at the time and had read a review of this in Mother and Baby. I was anxious not to get stretch marks. The body butter is thick and creamy but it rubs in well leaving a lovely orange smell. Its not too oily so I was able to get dressed straight after using it. I used it every day, initially just in the morning but then in the last couple of months ...
...when the get pregnant as its such a bargain price and a fantastic product. Forget all these expensive stretch mark creams, for £5 (and often on half price with boots advantage card vouchers) you can smell lovely and avoid stretch marks. A must for any pregnant mum to be. ... Read review

Advantages: Smells amazing, skin is wonderfully smooth and seems to keep those nasty stretch marks away
Disadvantages: You'll need more than one tub to get you through the average pregnancy

Being 26 weeks pregnant with twins and with a body expanding at an alarming rate, I reckon I'm not a bad guinea pig for any product that claims that it might help prevent stretch marks. I started slapping this yummy stuff all over my actively growing body parts every day from about 15 weeks pregnant. I know I've still got a long way to go but so far there's not a mark in site and I'm about as big as a mum-to-be who's 8 months pregnant with a single ...
...picked up my first tub of this after receiving a promotional voucher for a product in Boots' Mediterranean pregnancy range when I joined the Mother and Baby club. After scanning what was available to me in this range in my local store I settled on this because primarily I was keen to keep the skin on my bump as supple as possible and with ingredients included olive oil, shea butter, apricot oil and avocado oil, I figured this might do the trick. ...

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Hubby wants a nightly massage now!

...I am a big Lush fan, and am easily tempted to part with large amounts of cash just by entering the shop. I used to have to travel into the centre of Newcastle to fulfil my Lush needs, but that has been sorted as they have now opened a branch in Gateshead's Metrocentre which means I can frequent their premises even more than before. Good for Lush, not so good for my purse, especially as my 8 year old daughter is also a convert. In the past I have ...
...the place to go was Lush to get something different, and this latest trip was met with a positive reaction from the husband…maybe because he thought he would be on the receiving end of something pleasureable! When I entered the store, there was a central display of quite a few massage bars, and as usual the smell was amazing. I began talking to one of the girls working in the shop, and as I was a massage bar virgin, she explained that for the most ... Read review

Advantages: soothing, smells lovely, leaves skin feeling soft
Disadvantages: beans falls out all over the place

...He settled on this massage, Lush Wiccy Magic Muscles. He just loved the minty smell. He went to the till and bought it. He paid £3.95 for it. This is many years ago. Due to inflation, the massage now costs £4.75. Is it still worth? The bar is oval in shape. Mainly a creamy colour with brown Aduki beans in the top layer of the bar. It looks like it's a big white bar of chocolate with brown flecks in it. It's weight is 70g. As you take it out of the ...

Where do I start with this product? well i could start off by saying its fantastic!

I honestly feel crap if i dont put this stuff on in a morning. Its part of my beauty regime,i cover myself in talc then spray this stuff all over cos it just makes your skin feel so moisturised. Its roughly 5 pounds a bottle ...
...get 1 and two for a fiver,which amounts to the same thing. Its really girly too,in a seee through bottle with two tone oil which you shake to activate. The scent of it too is great,to be honest i dont really use it to nourish my skin but purely for the fact that the scent is so light that it leaves a great scent to your skin that smells natural and you can smell it all day,even on your clothes. After I apply this I often put Jean paul Gaultier ... Read review
