FCUK Polished Body Cream: A smoothing body cream.

Advantages: Great pot,nice colour product, applies well and sinks in fast, leaves my skin soft.
Disadvantages: The scent can be overpowering.

...FCUK Polished Whipped Bodycream is provided in a circular plastic tub which is tinted pink with a black screw top lid which is easily removed. Once removed I can see the 'whipped bodycream' within and it is a very light coffee coloured cream. I am immediately hit by the scent of this cream as soon as I open the pot and it is a fairly nice scent which I think is predominantly the almond oil and the added vanilla. It is very nice but I think too much of this is a little overpowering. To use I just apply to my towel dried skin after a bath or shower and it sinks in to my body very easily with just a slight bit of rubbing required. I don't need to use much of this at all as a little definitely goes a long way. It makes my body lovely and scented and my skin deliciously smooth. I do find that my skin feels smooth for the day and it...

Whipped Cream and Nuts for Dessert

Advantages: A rich, creamy, luxury ice cream
Disadvantages: The lid is difficult to remove

...There is such a huge variety of ice cream in our shops and supermarkets at the moment, that I felt spoilt for choice when I visited Tesco recently, looking for a tub of ice cream to put in the freezer. Tesco have introduced their own range of ice cream, which are similar in appearance to the Carte D?or style of desserts, and are presented in 1 litre flat plastic tubs. At present, Tesco offer four flavours: Chocolatino, Creamy Caramella, Cherrylicious and Vanilleta. We bought the Creamy Caramella to sample. The ice cream normally retails at £1.77 per tub, but today Tesco had an offer to buy 2 tubs for £3 ? at a price like that, I was hardly going to walk past, and not pick a couple of tubs up to bring home! Compare the price of these with a 1 litre tub of Carte D?or, which retail at £2.57, and it is evident how much cheaper these...

Whips, creams and fools...

Advantages: Tasty
Disadvantages: More than just a few calories...

...for about 10 minutes, and hold softer berries (such as raspberries or strawberries) for the final two minutes of boiling. Sieve. Allow the fruit to cool, then stir in the double cream and whisk up until thickened. This should serve 6-8 people. - - - - - Edinburgh Fog - - - - - This is a good northern dessert. This is a whip, and again, very simple to make, and very tasty. Ingredients A handful of chopped almonds 4 ounces of ratafia biscuits 1 tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 pint double cream Whip up the cream and sugar and vanilla together until firm.

Whipped again!

Advantages: Natural looking tan with no streaky bits
Disadvantages: Can take a bit of practise

...I need a tan, and armed with this self knowledge, out comes the whipped mousse (again). Having tried lots and lots of self tanning products, I have to admit that St. Tropez is my all time favourite; if anyone can let me know a better one, I'm open to suggestions! For now, though, it's this stuff, which I find is easier to apply than the St. Tropez creams. The first thing to remember when applying St Tropez products is that you MUST exfoliate and moisturise or pay the price of potentially streaky body parts; if this is your thing, then go for the dry skin application. However, I don't think you have to buy all of the products, and I certainly don't use the St Tropez exfoliator- any decent, much cheaper one does the job just as well. Once you have exfoliated and moisturised then start to apply. The product comes in a pump...

Whipped Into A Frenzy

Advantages: applies easily, good colour, smells ok
Disadvantages: expensive, not as easy to apply as it makes out

...earned cash for some sunshine in a bottle?until now. I read up plenty on the product before I bought it and quickly realised how divided opinion on it was. It seemed that the ?whipped cream? mousse version of the product was the easier to use because the original self tan lotion needs an alarmingly scientific amount of mixing and the potential for disaster just seemed so much greater. The lady in Boots (who now I think back was actually very pale) swore by it and said it was impossible to streak, the Oompa Loompa who works in the tanning shop said it was the best product she?d ever used (or over used, judging from her less than subtle Lucozade hue?) So I went for it!! The first thing that struck me about the range (apart from the bewildering range of options ? exfoliators, lotions, sprays, stuff that was bright blue?) was how naff...

All in one miracle cream!

Advantages: many products in 1, saves money, rubs in easily
Disadvantages: expensive on the high street

...MIRACLE CREAM I started using the Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream because of all the fantastic reviews it had, and I must say it fulfilled all of the expectations I had plus more. It truly is a miracle cream and is affordable. Being the well known brand of Elizabeth Arden you can find it in most department stores and high street stores such as Boots however I would recommend buying it online as you will find it?s a lot cheaper. On the CheapSmells website you can buy a 50ml tube for £11.90, I have seen it not online for prices in excess of £20 so you are definitely better off buying online. You can get the 8 hour face cream in sizes 30ml and 50ml. You can also get the miracle hand cream in 75ml. The cream itself is mainly used as a skin protectant and can help with problems such as dry, flaky skin. But the miracle with this cream is that...

Custardy Cream Whips up a Storm!

Advantages: Light, tasty, half the calories of fresh cream
Disadvantages: A little sickly if you eat too much!

...Anchor Lightly Whipped Real Dairy Custard Cream comes in a distinctive creamy yellow coloured version of the standard can that Anchor squirty creams come in, and is found in the chiller alongside other Anchor cream products at major supermarkets. The product comes in a 250g can which is supposed to contain 20 servings, and retails at approximately £1.85. The product keeps fresh for up to six weeks so - if you can possibly resist temptation - then you can make it last, unlike fresh cream that quickly goes off. I've always been a huge fan of Anchor Cream Swirls - aka Squirty Cream. The cream is light and sweet, and the squirty aerosol can means that you can attempt to create a work of art on top of your pudding! Its not the healthiest of foods, but neither is it too sinful to touch with a ten foot barge pole - squirty cream contains...

Eight Hour Miracle Cream!

Advantages: Heals and Soothes skin.
Disadvantages: Price, can take a while to absorb.

...Before I bought Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream I had read about it in magazines with lots of Celebrities citing it as one of there "Must have" beauty products. As ever my inquisitive nature took over and I decided to invest in a tube to find out what I have been missing. So of I went to my local Debenhams and asked the Beauty Advisor for a tube of this recommended cream. The Cream cost me £18 for a 50ml tube. I know this is also available at other department stores so it may be possible to buy this cheaper. The eight hour cream comes in an off white box with the Elizabeth Arden logo on the front. The actual tube is white in colour with black writing across the front and a screw top lid. Eight Hour Cream was developed by Elizabeth Arden over 70 years ago. Its intended use is to sooth minor skin irritations and calm chapping...

Whip it Up!

Advantages: good for 5p
Disadvantages: sugary

...Tesco Value Strawberry Whip....... As my quest to lower my shopping bill continues I find myself buying more and more of the Tesco Value range and this shopping trip was no different. I decided to buy this particular product as I had recently read a review on this very site about it and thought for the price it was certainly worth a try. This Tesco Value Strawberry whip only costs 5 pence so even if it wasn't very nice I thought I could afford to throw it away. The packaging it comes in is the standard Tesco Value blue and white striped packet. This is very plain and very simple and makes the product on the whole not very appealing. You are to mix the strawberry whip with 300ml of milk (I chose semi skimmed) and whip the milk and strawberry powder together. It is then best to leave it to thicken in the fridge and this...

Review of Tesco Value Strawberry Whip

Eight Hour Cream

Advantages: Only need to use a tiny amount so lasts for years!
Disadvantages: None

...This cream comes in a tube and initially seems quite expensive (when I bought my last tube it cost £17). It states that it is for use on chapped or weather burned skin ? basically for use anywhere on the body. It is a brilliant lip salve ? it may seem expensive but I can?t remember the last time I bought a tube ? it must be at least 2 years ago. The cream never goes off and lasts for ages as you only need to use the tiniest amount each time. Another thing it is very good for is when you have a sore red nose during a cold. It soothes and fixes dry skin extremely quickly and in my mind is great value for money....
