...Hollyoaks dance workout - shape up and feel good This DVD is all danced based with Sarah, Ali and Jodi (Becky, Debbie, and Mandy) from Hollyoaks. It comes in there sections- The warm up The dance work out The cool down As you would imagine the warm up starts slow getting your muscles ready for the main work out, you will stretch and tone your body gradually getting faster until you ready for the dance work out, this is lots of jogging and faster mover.

Advantages: good at covering up
Disadvantages: tad expensive

...i suffer from ocasional spots and i really like to cover them up as they are usually emnbarrasing and bright red. i bought this cover-up from the body shop and it matched my skin tone quite well. i have mastered the art of using it though as if you ust blob it on it looks really obvious and fake. if you put some on then blend in with your finger, repeat if your spot is very bad then dab on soem poder or put your foundation or tinted moisturiser on top. your spots should be gone! i found that the body shop had a good range of colours, so i managed to find one that was almost like my skin tone as i usually find it very hard to do that, next time you are in the body shop - check it out and you might be pleasenatly suprised...

Advantages: Great quick way to get tones abs
Disadvantages: Slightly expesive

...This is a great product because it does tone your abs well and it is well worth paying the money to do it. The belt is comfortable and you can easily turn it off and on quickly. The great thing about this product is it can be worn under your normal clothes and use it all day. No one will notice. You can keep it private and you will have that body you desire in no time, without the hard work of going to a gym. I loved it when i used it and i feel happier about myself now and am glad that i used this product. I believe that if you are looking to tone your abs then i would strongly suggest you use this and it will be a lot easier than going to a gym or push ups daily.... Read review

Advantages: Good for sitting around with watching TV.
Disadvantages: Has yet to prove real muscle strength or long term results

...The slendertone system uses electrical muscle stimulation to strangely enough stimulate the muscle groups on the stomach. This it does well in the fact that the muscles are stimulated and ache after use but there is so little proof of it actually providing the long term muscle strength and tone people are craving! EMS systems have still not been proven to actually make you get those 6 pack abs that you want without actually training and eating healthily as well, I have tried the older model and this new one and am not impressed, if you have any body fat stores above 25% then the muscle tone it helps define will be next to none as it does not burn body fat at all. The basic idea is there but it lacks the substance; fantastic for the posers who only want a toned stomach for summer but real muscle strength and tone will be much better... Read review

Advantages: strong scent that lasts
Disadvantages: nothing special

...Ananya is one of the Body Shops main ranges of fragranced products. You can purchase soaps, gels, talcs etc. and the scent of it is not unpleasant. I just think that it's not their best. I tried the shower gel for a little while, but found it a bit dull. The perfume of it does linger around for most of the day, and is helped if you use the eau de toilette after your shower. The gel itself is nothing special. It did not moisturise or tone or scrub, just a basic perfumed shower gel. It is not like a lot of the other body shop products in that it doesn't seem very "natural". It is a heavy, sweet and strong smell. I think it is best to purchase the body spray and use the scent for going out, or at night. Just my personal preference. A bit too artificial smelling for me.... Read review

Advantages: Beautiful citus fragrance/essence gel/lotion for firmer skin.
Disadvantages: None

... GARNIER SKIN NATURALS BODY TONIC <> <> BODY TONIC FIRMING LOTION. <> <> Garnier skin naturals is a product range containing pure Citric essence. It's the fragrance of this product that makes it 'a natural' for me It is presented in a large bright yellow oval shaped bottle, which is a really cheerful, sunny colour. To the centre of the bottle the word Garnier is written in gold lettering with a leaf to the the top. It has a white flip-up lid, to the squeezable bottle, and it states it contains fruit essences. It is dermatologically tested, and the purpose of the lotion is for moisturising and toning the body. Body lotion is almost essential for the skin having to cope in the envirement of today. The skin can dry out, and much needed moisture has to be put back into the skin. This enriched body lotion... Read review
