I'm glad I got my mitts on this

Advantages: Good exfoliation
Disadvantages: The tag

...Benefit Wonder Mitt: In my quest to loose weight and get fit I am trying various ways to keep my skin in tip top condition and nice and elastic to avoid stretch marks etc. I remembered seeing some Benefit cream, (Jiggle Gel, I think), and thought I would try it. I ended up purchasing the equivalent Soap and Glory product instead as it was a lot cheaper but I did still get a Wonder Mitt to exfoliate and help reduce cellulite. The Wonder Mitt is a big green mitt with a terry cloth side and a 'loofah' side. The terrycloth side is has a sponge underneath so any shower gel, body wash or soap you may use with it will foam up nicely and produce a good lather. I am certain that the 'loofah' side is plastic. There is a ribbed, elasticated cuff to the mitt which keeps it on your hand. It is plenty big enough and is nice and stretchy too. There...

Review of Benefit Wonder Mitt

The ultimate tanning mitt for the ultimate tan!

Advantages: Great coverage, easy to use, easy to wash!
Disadvantages: Nothing I thought it was brillant!

...After using various tans and various mitts (ok maybe multiple!), I discovered He-Shi which was an absolute blessing! In my opinion, this mitt gives a complete streak free tan which looks great! Gone are the days of the VTL's (Visible Tan Lines!) with this mitt! The softness of the mitt allows easy coverage but also it gives the user the control spreading the tan in the correct places. After use, it is brillant to just pop into the wash! Gone are the orange hand days! I would definetely recommend this 100%! In my opinion it is one of the best! I have used many tanning mitts before but this one is totally the best one on the current market! The tan is also excellent to use with it! With this mitt, there is no worries of waking up the next morning disappointed with the results..it always is brillant and I am totally confident in it!!...

Review of He-Shi Tanning Mitt

Benefit Wonder Mitt is a real circulation booster & exfoliator!

Advantages: Boosts circulation, exfoliates and cleanses
Disadvantages: Needs to be washed out after each use and occasional machine wash

...I have been using my Benefit Wonder Mitt for around 6 years and its still as good as new! It goes in a hot machine wash every so often and over the years has saved me a fortune in body scrubs. The Wonder Mitt is worn as a glove and has two sides, one soft flannel-like side for your face and chest and an exfoliating side which feels similar to velcro! Its best used lathered up with a moisturing soap or shower gel, i gently scrub my entire body using circular motions and the effect can be very alarming at first, it feels VERY stimulating and scratchy and my skin turns red and tingles as my circulation is given a massive boost, it really wakes up my skin and senses and removes dead sluggish skin. I always feel like a new person stepping out of the bath after using the Wonder Mitt, this leaves skin glowing with health and not at all...

Review of Benefit Wonder Mitt

Hasselhoff-phobics look away now

Advantages: Location, good value at promotional rates
Disadvantages: Not worth the full rate, some unwelcoming staff

...I recently reviewed an Ibis hotel in Austria and a fellow Ciao member expressed surprise that I should write a review on this topic. Thinking about it I can see why; one chain hotel is pretty much like any other and if you want to know about the location well you can easily find out on the hotel website. All of which made me think I would probably not bother reviewing the Mercure Mitte Hotel in Hannover but some interesting points arose during my visit and I thought it worth voicing them aloud here. A chain hotel is not usually my chosen type of accommodation, partly because I don't like to spend too much but also because I'm not a fan of faceless hotels with no character. I booked the Mercure Mitte in Hannover because the cheaper accommodation was quite a distance from the centre and I took advantage of a promotional rate through...

Review of Mercure Hanover Mitte, Hanover

Just how silky is this silky mitt?

Advantages: leaves legs extremely smooth,isn't painful to use
Disadvantages: time consuming,can't get around the back of the leg properly,leaves some patches

...Hair removal is such a pain, especially when you have a fear of shavers! Luckily for me there are creams and sprays available that all offer a pain free hair removal experience. So after years of using Veet (originally known as Immac) spray and having nice, soft, hairless results I was distraught when I suddenly noticed my legs were really painful after use and I looked like I had scratches all over them. Strange really when you're using a sponge to remove the spray isn't it? I didn't have a clue what I was going to do. Creams are messy and really smell but the only other option was either shaving or waxing, both of which I am too chicken to do! So imagine my relief when I was browsing the internet and I found a review on the silky mitt. A mitt that promised pain free, easy hair removal. I was a little skeptical but at that moment in...

MITTS OFF OR THE TWEENIE TOY GETS IT!

Advantages: an idiot or drunk *raises hand* could heat them up, great tasting
Disadvantages: different results depending on heating method

...anyone uses that, tell me if it works. If it doesn't, you can't hold me responsible ya bloody perv. + PIES PIES PIES PIES PIES... + They're available in packs of 2 (or 4 mini ones apparently, which I've never actually seen but Ciao decided to picture - why have mini ones in the first place? For children? No! The pies are only for grown-ups - children do not have the emotional capacity to fully appreciate the pie, mitts off or the Tweenie toy gets it!!!). The 'doubtful-it's-environmentally-friendly' plastic packaging should be quite easy to make out as it's white, green and red and would be a bit more eyecatching than the brown or purple pie packages that would normally surround it (well it's like that in my local Co-op - Bell's pies as farrrrrr as the eye can see... *sniff* it's such a beautiful sight...). In the Co-op, where...

Review of Bells Macaroni Pies

Smoothes your skin and your purse.

Advantages: Leaves skin soft, saves time, no need to buy body scrub so saves you money!
Disadvantages: Might be a little too harsh for some people, you need to moisturise afterwards.

...I have been using body polish for several months now and love it there is no question but I also need to use a scrub every few weeks to keep my skin as soft as I like so when I came across this product I thought that it was definitely worth a try. This smooth and renew body loofah mitt looks similar to oven gloves if I am honest, you know those ones, which have an opening for your hands at either end and then have the fabric in between. It is as thought someone has cut the end off of one of them. This is cream and nothing to look at really, hardly a work of art. With towelling fabric one side and the loofah side the other you can put it on your hand either way round for either a soft wash or a good hard scrubbing. The idea is you use it in a similar way to a sponge, apply some shower gel or soap and off you go. When dry...

Review of The Body Shop Smooth And Renew Body Loofah Mitt

Don't wash your cash away with Kandoo Mitts

Advantages: good novelty factor
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Having bought the Kandoo hand wash and been delighted I took a punt on the foaming hand mitts. To be fair that's exactly what they are, mitts covered in the kandoo frogs that are about 15 cms long once submerged and rubbed on your body they foam up . I first showed my daughter these about 6 months ago and she just looked at me blankly - to be fair she had just turned 2 , but she soon got the hang of them . The trouble is after about 30 seconds they sort of run out of steam and go a bit slimy - not what you want in the bath! The smell off them is nice again like the hand wash a bit like apple, they also say tear free but I would argue this as they do tear quite easily. A good point is that they are ph neutral like the other Kandoo products so they are a good transition up from baby products for your toddler. They retail at about £2...

Review of Kandoo Foaming Wash Mittens

Try silky mitts first if your skin is sensitive

Advantages: hair regrowth is reduced .means less time & money (thats worth it surely!)
Disadvantages: it would be far better if it was cordless

...Judging the mixed reviews I would say that this is not for the sensitive skin types. If you are in any doubt as to whether it will work for you, try the packs of silky mitts which are a manual version of the disc pad and only cost a £1 for 3 (superdrug, boots). I tried these first and loved the results so I purchased the Babyliss Simply Smooth. It gave me the same great benefits of removing dead lifeless skin and quite thick hair on my legs. True the first time you use it, your skin if you use too much pressure feels sore approx an hour afterwards, but with very little practice this will not happen. I would however prefer a cordless version which would give more flexibility as the dead skin (that's the white powder) and hair that it removes is pretty unsightly...so make sure you put down a towel first. Mind you I gain a great deal...
