Dove Pro Age Body Cream Oil

Advantages: Nice smell, it works
Disadvantages: None

...I really like the Dove range of beauty products and use quite a lot of their offerings, deodorant, soap etc so when I was looking for a new body cream/hand cream I went straight to the Dove products. I was looking for a fairly thick, rich cream as I have had really dry hands recently so I decided upon the Dove Pro Age Body Cream Oil. It had a label on the top saying that it had a rich cream-oil formula so I thought this would be perfect. From looking at their website, www.dove.co.uk I found out a bit more about their Dove Pro*Age Range. They are quoted as saying, "Dove believes beauty has no age limit. That's why we've developed Dove Pro*age - a range of skin, deodorant and haircare products designed to give your skin and hair what it needs right now. Each product contains real, active ingredients to help bring out the best in you...

Review of Dove Pro-Age Body Cream Oil

Cocoa butter gel body oil - natural glow?

Advantages: Makes skin soft, smells lovely
Disadvantages: Greasy if applied onto dry skin, takes forever to absorb

...Having run out of my favourite Jergens Naturals body moisturizer (see my previous review), I had to get some new supply. My skin is so dry it cannot survive a day without a body moisturizer so I desperately needed one. I was planning to do my main shopping that day so I went to Tesco instead of my usual Boots. Unfortunately, they didn?t have any Jergens cosmetics and they range in stock was quite limited. I haven?t previously used on of the body moisturizing products on display so I opted for one on offer - £2.44 for 200ml. If I didn?t like it, at least I wouldn?t have to use it for a long time and wouldn?t have spent a lot of money on it. The product I chose was Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalising Gel Body Oil and the magic word for me was ?gel?. I thought this would be a good consistency ? light and quickly absorbing. I know that two...

Avon dry oil body spray great insect repellent and mositurising

Advantages: moisturising, good spray bottle, price and added bonus of insect repellent
Disadvantages: packaging a little dull.

...I purchased this after being told that avon dry oils spray acts as an insect repellent and when we were on holiday it must have worked as I didn't get bit, I also liked that it didnt smell of chemicals or make skin "tight" like some normal insect repellents. Also very moisturising easily absorbed and good spray on the bottle - will definately be keeping this in my bathroom cupboard as both a moisturiser and insect repellent for when travelling abroad, also used it on my little girl and she was fine have found many childrens insect repellents do not seem to work as well as the adults version but this was fab for whole family and not too girly smell for my husband. Also I brought this when avon had it on special offer as they frequently do so don't pay full price (even though it is worth it) wait to grab a real bargain !...

Oil me up scotty- sensual body massage oil

Advantages: smells so good, feel lovely on the skin, and it's kiss-proof ;)
Disadvantages: the price.

...Although this is a very expensive product it really does 'exactly what it says on the tin'. The sensual massage oil is great for massages and the scent of the oil really relaxes you and also gets you in the mood for some perfect time with your partner. I used this on my partner recently and he seemed to love every minute of it. After a few drops of this massage oil he was relaxed. He seems to suffer with a lot of tension around his neck shoulders and the bottom of his back. However, this massage oil really did the job! You don't even need to use a great deal of the oil for it to kick in. I think I would have to say that this is a brilliant investment and is relaxing for both men and women. It's brilliant for the art of massages and perfect with when using with a lover as it's kiss proof and doesn't taste horrible or feel funny...

The Body Shop No Oil Foundation

Advantages: Perfects Skin
Disadvantages: None

...I was buying mouse foundations from all different companies and was noticing blotches in my skin, i really didn't want to have to resort to buying an expensive foundation, so i routed around a bit and came across this foundation The Body Shop Moisture Foundation, it has no oils, therefore does not give a greasy looking finish but a glossy tanned one which is a huge refreshing change from orange blotches. Its also quite good at the cover ups of spots etc without having to use bucket loads, I would advise this for those with sensitive skin. It has an SPF 15 in it to help protect the skin, comes in 10 different shades. It has two vitamins in it amoungst many minerals to achieve long lasting coverage. Vitamin C - Helps to smooth out, giving a radient shine. Vitamin E - Helps to condition and protect the skin. This...

Review of The Body Shop Oil-Free Liquid Foundation

Skin so soft body oil.Gorge

Advantages: Silky skin.Light all day lasting smell
Disadvantages: nout

...natural and you can smell it all day,even on your clothes. After I apply this I often put Jean paul Gaultier Clasiique perfume over it as the two scents combine perfectly and create a scent that is not too overpowering,but light and genle. Unlike some oils which can bring on a migraine from a mile away! The texture of it is so velvety too,it leaves your skin feeling really gorgeus and at such a cheap price,for such a great product you can afford to spray it all over.Its also great for when you come out the bath,I apply it with candy fluff talc from lush,which relaxes you for the night. I would also recomend there creamy body wash,although strangely they do not smell the same although it leaves your skin really hydrated and has a gentle smell. Everyone buy it..its a miracle product!...

Review of Avon Skin-So-Soft Dry Oil Body Spray

Avon Skin-So-Soft Dry Oil Body Spray is one of a kind!!!

Advantages: Doesn't leave an oily residue, Amazing value
Disadvantages: Small Bottle, Inconvenience to order (has to be from the Avon catalogue or online)

...Before now the choice of body moisturisers has fallen into 2 categories. There are the thick body butters for parched skin that induce moisture into every pore but may cause a slightly greasy feeling and downsides include the lengthy drying time and the need to rub it in religiously; then there are the body oils that are quick to rub on and give a much needed moisture boost but leave that distinct unpleasant oily feeling. But now a new age of moisturiser has emerged and boy am I glad I've found it. Avon Skin-So-Soft Dry Oil Body Spray may be a mouthful but apart from that it is a fantastic product that everyone should have on their bathroom shelf. At first the only reason I bought it was because it was on sale in the Avon catalogue and now I feel its the best £1.50 I've spent. It sprays on easily, rubs on easily, dries quickly...

The Body Shop - Almond Oil Daily Hand & Nail Cream

Advantages: Leaves hands feeling silky smooth and smells lovely
Disadvantages: Hands are greasy for a couple minutes after application

...I purchased a daily hand and nail cream from the body shop a couple of months back as my hands are often dry after washing. I have found this product to be much better than other products I have used on my hands for example nivea and vaseline. Not that I dislike the other products I have used but they just leave my hands greasy for ages and I cant do nothing with them. The body shops Almond Oil Hand and Nail Cream does have my hands feeling greasy, however, only for a couple of minutes. After that they become extremely soft and supple yet you can not feel that anything is on your hands. It also smells very nice because of the almond oil but it also contains community traded shea butter, soya oil and beeswax to help protect against dryness and moisture loss. Key Ingredients ---------------------- Sweet Almond Oil - Provides...

Review of The Body Shop Almond Oil Intensive Hand Rescue

The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Shampoo

Advantages: Leaves hair and scalp feeling thoroughly clean, soft and shiny hair.
Disadvantages: Initially quite a strong smell.

...For the last two years I have had problems using various hair care products. I already have intolerances to many foods and various household products. But went on to develop an intolerance to the hair care products I was using. I constantly had a very itchy scalp and my hair was not in very good condition. On the reccomendation of my nutritionist, I decided to try the Body Shop Tea Tree Oil shampoo, initially buying the smallest bottle, to ensure it suited me. SIZES AVAILABLE The shampoo come in three sizes, small, medium 500ml and large 1000ml. (Although I have only been able to obtain the large size in the factory shop). PACKAGING As with all the Body Shop products it comes in a plain basic bottle, with a flip top lid. The usual label with ingredients, the Body Shop logo and instructions on use. You do not...

Review of The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Shampoo

Naked Bodies and Coconut Oil

Advantages: Easy to apply, non greasy
Disadvantages: None, unless you don't like coconut

...Whether you're heading off for a holiday abroad, or holding out hope that Britain will one day surpass itself and provide a few days of glorious weather, you need to be prepared for the sun. I'm not against paying for a decent product with a high sun protection factor, consider it an insurance policy against health problems such as dry wrinkly skin, and worse of course the risk of skin cancer. But, it does annoy me that many manufacturers push the prices right up for no good reason, other than making an extra few quid out of peoples rightful concern for their own well being. Calypso offer affordable priced sun protection in the shape of their Dry Oil Spray range. Available in SPF (sun protection factor) 4, 8, 15, and 20, the oil offers protection against both UVA and UVB rays, and comes in an 250ml spray bottle, at the recommended...
