Advantages: Non runny consistency and smells gorgeous

...equally as nice to return the gesture. Picture the scene if you will ... lights dimmed, music playing low - there you both are in front of the (gas) fire with the candles dancing and flickering seductively ... sounding good isn't it? So there we were, in the Metrocentre, about to head home after a lengthy shopping session when I realised I still had no massage oil -which was one of the reasonos why I found myself here in the first place. I suffer ...
...range, but I didn't fancy the look of it. To me it looked runny, like the one we had previously used which had been gloopy and a bugger for running off before you could put the bottle down - it had been Soya oil from the Bodyshop. It looked like something I might put in the car ... By this time, the shopping centre was near to closing and we headed towards the Bodyshop - feeling defeated in our mission. I asked the assistant if they had an alternative ... Read review

...MASSAGE OIL IS PART OF THE AROMATHERAPY RANGE. THIS IS A RELAXING OIL AND IS GREAT AFTER A HARDS DAYS WORK.

Advantages: Smells great and leaves skin feeling really soft.
Disadvantages: You need to shower after using.

...so knotted. To help relieve the pain and tension I will occasionally give him a massage. I find that without using a cream or oil it is a lot more difficult. Before buying this product I would use body lotion to make it as easy and pleasurable as possible. I decided to get this to make massaging easier for me and better for my other half. At the time there were two others available but I liked the smell of this best. The others are lavender and ...
...for getting you both in the mood! Although this bottle seems small at 100ml it will last a very long time as a little goes a long way. I have found that about the equivalent of a teaspoon full is enough for me to massage his shoulders and half way down his back. This really does make massaging him easier for me as my fingers slide across the skin more easily and it isn't that oily that it feels like I am rubbing chip fat into him. He says it feels ...

Advantages: Lasts for ages and smells wonderful.
Disadvantages: Price!

Jo Malone used to be the perfume brand of choice for every Sloane Ranger around but the girls got her groove back and her products are flying off the shelves. It's no wonder, the girl knows her stuff and it's hard to find more fabulous fragrances around. If you dont want to smell like every other woman standing on the bus this is for you :) I usually wear Pomegranite Noir (the scent) anyway but am so hopelessly obsessed with it that I had to indulge ...
...As with all of Jo Malone's products, the packaging is minimal and chic, it leaves the product to do the talking. And dispite the hefty price tag, this bath oil really is fabulous, when you sink into a steaming bath topped up with this, the day will literally melt away and you're left with glowing, scented, soft skin, perfect. Even if you only splash out on it once in your entire lifetime, I reccomend you do, every gal deserves a little JM love. ... Read review

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
